How Guns Are Fired With Marvellous
and Telling Accuracy.

The accuracy of the modern rifed
guns is one of the wonders that is APP
preciated by a comparatively rev per-
sons. 1t can be readily appreciated how
a man with a small rifle can become an
expert marksman, but to shoot accurate
ly with big 6, or Pinch gun is mar
vel of modern engineering. Accuracy
with big guns is comparatively modern.
In days gone by when in naval con-
flict broadsides were poured at the en-
envy it was not SO much due to the sure
eye of the gunner as it was to luck. OF
recent years, however, the gunners on
board naval vessels have been aided by a
scientific device known as a range finder.
Lieutenant Fiske of the United States
navy invented the first and best device of
this kind known 1t is based on the prin-
ciple of land surveying with transit and
engineering chain. If a surveying party
comes to broad river whose width has
to be determined, base line is measured
along the bank, and the angles which
this line makes with a mark on the OPP
posite bank are measured by the transit.
Then, knowing the length of the base
line ana the two angles, the distance
trigonometry.
Applying this to the range finder, a
base line Is carefully measured between
two points near opposite ends Of the
ship. and over each point, range finder,
answering to the engineers transit, is
the two finders are simultaneously con-
verged upon the same point on a distant
object (ship, fortress or city, the obser-
vers will be in possession of the trigo-
nometrica1 data necessary to compute
the distance, namely, the base and the
two base angles.
In the din. hurry and slaughter of a
sea fight, however, it would be difficult
to make the necessary calculations, as
the distance between the ships, and
therefore the observed angles, keeps
changing, and in order to make the de-
termination of the distance automatic.
Lieutenant Fiske placed his telescopes
In the circuit Of a Wheatstone bridge
and caused their change of position to
record the distance Of the object on the
graduated scale of a delicate galvanome-

C. B. Bosworth of Deming was at
Wilcox last week, en- route to the
scene of mining operations at Dos Ca

Climax mine is being vigorously prose
cuted. Before returning Mr.. Bosworth
made flying trip to Russellville to
look over the recently discovered hu-
bernite claims. He brought back with
him a large specimen showing the un-
familiar mineral distributed in irreg-
ular masses in white quartz. Mr.. Bos-

It is reported that workman who
had been sent mp on the hill back of
the smelter toSassist in extipguishing
the brush firesi last week stumbled up
on several bars of Silver bullion that
had evidently been buried there. As
there has been no sffver-bullion run
here since the mine was operated by
Governor Tritle, it Is supposed this
bullion was stolen at the time when
they were smelling the rich silver ores
of the Eureka mine. which was run
for its silver contents only. Some of
the workmen probably stole and bur-
led it at that time, and failed to find
its place Of concealment when he went
to dig it up.-Jerome, News

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT WORK.

Some time ago case was before
Judge Hallett in Denver, which illus
trates another phase of his judicial &C
ton, and incidentally is OF interest to
miners and prospectors everywhere.
The case referred to involved the Ques-
ton of the annual work which the
holder of a mining claim must do to
prevent the loss of his title The de-
cision was in favor of the man who
held the claim upon which it was said
the annual work had not been done.
In this instance there was some doubt
whether the claimant had done 500
worth of work during the calendar
year, and the plaintiff in the action
Jumped the claim on the theory that
sufficient work had not been done. But
the court brushed aside his alleged
title, together with all consideration
of whether the work amounted to 800
or not, by laying stress upon the fact
that the locator resumed work upon
the claim before the jumpers alleged
rights began. The principle of law in
volved is not new, but it is well for
miners to bear 1t in mind. Annual as
sessment must be done. not to keep
alive title, but to prevent it from
lapsing. In this instance it was, in
the opinion and judgment of the court,
a matter of Indifference whether the
annual work for the year in question
was done or not, the locator having as
serted his rights the following year be-
fore the other party to the location
attempted to relocate. If no one else
asserts claim to the property, 10
Gator need not do any work at all up
on his claim. He may locate it today
and do none of the annual work for
ten years. Still, if then he should
make the requisite $500 worth of i'm
provements he would have a right to
a patent, and his title would relate
back to the date of his location, not
withstanding in the meantime he had
done no work at all. But the pros
pector should remember that in all
such cases the risk is on them. A
claim would be jumpable in the case
supposed 1t remains alive only be-
cause no one interferes with the rights
Of the locator. In this connection it
is important to observe that the law
requires 500 worth of work, and not
ten or twenty feet. In many Colo
RADIO districts it is custom to call
ten feet sufficient compliance with the
law concerning annual labor. But the
custom of mining district does not do
away with the federal law. Every
Colorado locator who does only ten
feet of work, which is not, as mat
ter of fact, worth 800, runs the risk
of having his claim jumped unless in
the following year he resumes labor
upon it before any jumper attempts to
take possession. Five dollars worth
of work or no work at all may suffice
if no one disputes the possession, but
S99 worth will not suffice, if before the
resumption of labor the following year
the claim is jumped.

WASHINGTON. March 15.-The two

full additions to the United States navy
in either war or peace. in the opinion
of Secretary Long, who acknowledges
they have been bought by the United
States. They are steel sheathed and
coppered, with twin screws. The ANA
zonas is rated at 5000 tons displace-
ment, with an indicated horsepower
under natural draught of 1000. which
is calculated to develop 20 knots speed.
Her armament is made up of six 6-inch
guns, but these guns, as we'll as the
four finch guns, are of what is known
as so calibres length, giving them an
unusual range and power. In addition
to this they have 10 6-pounder quick
firing guns, four l-pounders, four
Maxim machine guns and two boat or
field guns.
