The Iowa Association, an organization
made up of residents of the state Of Iowa
who have temporary residence here or who
are on a visit to the national capital on
business or pleasure, held its regular
monthly meeting at Maccabee Hall, on 9th
street between Z and f streets, last night
The meeting was well attended and was
one of the most enjoyable of the series.
Some business OF a routine nature was
transacted, among other things the mem
bers being especially requested to secure a
large attendance for the last meeting of
the season. which viii be held at Maccabee
Hall the first Thursday in June and then
the meeting was turned over TO Mr.. Frank
Garden, who had charge of the program
prepared for the entertainment of thise
present. Miss Grace Ross gave a number
Of recitations, each one of which was re
ceiVed with warm applause. Miss Dorothy
Lair was obliged TO respond to a hearty
encore after her piano solo, transcript
ton from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde,
while Misses Jessie MacBride and Mabel
Clafin were also warmly applauded in
vocal duets. Miss MacBride also sang MY
Love and T. as a solo, while Miss Clatin
gave the jewel song from Faust" Miss
Lair occupied the difficult place of accom-
PIANIST.
Mr. ]. l.. McCreery read an original
humorous poem, entitled "She Has Tray
eled," that added much to the evenings
enjoyment
AT the meeting to be held in June the
association will probably adjourn until Oc-
tober.

New Process of Rapid Telegraphy.

From Science.
The Vienna correspondent of the
London Times writes that the trials of
the systems of rapid telegraphy invent
ed by two Hungarians, NM. Pollak and
Virag, which took place between Buda-
pest and Berlin at midnight on Sep
TENDER g. are represented to have
practically justified the claims made
on behalf of the new process. The ex-
periments were conducted at both ends
under the personal direction of the in
ventors i'll the presence of experts, in
Guiding representatives of the Hun
garian and French governments and
one of the American cable companies.
These are alleged to have given the
extraordinary result of a transmission
of no fewer than 220 words in 10 sec
onds without prejudicing the clearness
Of the message. A perforated roll OF
paper. similar to that at present in use
is employed for the dispatch of the mes
sage, which is made visible and fixed
photograpfically at the receiving sta
ton. Instead of the dashes and dots
of the Morse alphabet, there are rising
and falling strokes starting from O. horl-
zontal line. The receiver consists of a
telephone fitted with a small concave
mirror, upon which are reflected, in the
form of streaks of light, the impulses
marked on the membrane. BY an in
genious arrangement. recalling in
some respects that of the cinemato-
graph, the streaks of light reflected
upon the mirror are reproduced upon
roll of sensitized paper, thus giving
a narrow oblong picture, which in the
present stage of the invention is de-
veloped and fixed like an ordinary
photograph.

In our last mining issue we gave a
Of the Montana Mining company lin
ited-the Drumlmmon. Since then we
have received a copy of the London
Mining World giving in full the pro-
ceedings of the stockholders meeting,
at which the report was presented.
While all will regret that the report
was not more favorable, 1t is neverthe-
less gratifying to know that the COM
pany is in good shape for the prosecu-
ton of development work. Besides
having about one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars in the treasury, there
is a vast body of tailings which it has
been shown can be treated very profit
ably by the cyanide process. This will
enable the company to do any reason
able amount of prospecting. without
having to resort to assessments for the
raising of funds. '~s
1t is also a pleasure to note that the
stockholders accepted the passing Of
the dividend without a murmur, that
the management of the mine was heart
lily enuOTSeu, anu lHdl There was klOl lHe
slightest disposition manifested to dis
continue the search for paying ore
bodies. The present development work
is being pushed in the No. 3 shaft part
of the NINE near the ne-thousand-foot
level, and on the New Castletown lode
at the six-hundredfoot level. At both
points there is promising outlook, and
it is hoped that enough ore will be I'M
covered to keep at least one Of the mills
going. ~ E9E~
There is also strong disposition to
sink below the siXteen-hundred-f foot
level, and the statements of the officers
indicated that doubtless such a course
would be pursued. The company, be-
sides purchasing the Ben Mahon frac-
tion, has also bonded some Nevada
properties on eighteen months time,
the consideration being forty thousand
dollars.
The Drumlummon has been one of
Montana's old standbys. Everybody
who knows anything of the property
will be very glad to learn of the pur-
pose to continue the development work
upon the mine, and will rejoice in the
largest measure of success that may at
tend it,

Scientific Prospecting.

The Mining and Metallurgical Jour-
which is reproduced in another part Of
this issue.
The disposition is quite prevalent, al
though it is giving way to some extent,
TO belittle scientific knowledge in pros
pecting and mining operations. It is
true that mining geology has not as yet
reached the standing of an exact
science This is owing to the fact that
1t deals with conditions that are largely
hidden from the eye in the mysterious
depths of Mother Earth. In many cases
these conditions can only be ascer-
tanned by actually delving into them,
and even then only with certainty as
far as the delving goes.
This does not indicate ignorance In
the mining geologist, but it is an un-
certainty that is inherent in the sub
ject with which he deals. If it were
merely question of the chemical COM
position and crystalline formation of
rocks. the educated geologist would
seldom go astray
But in those regions where valuable
mineral deposits are found great dy-
Eamic forces have been brought into
play. The solid crust of the earth has
been rent and shattered by the resist
less power of volcanic action, leading
TO many breaks and Irregularities in
the deposition of the mineral values
For example, ledge bearing gold, sill
yer or copper, may be strong and rich
at given point. and yet hundred
feet distant 1t may pinch out, or be en-
tirely lost by fault-that is, break
in the ledge caused by volcanic action.
This tremendous force while breaking
the ledge in two frequently throws the
ends apart transverseIy to such an
extent that it is impossible to recover
the lost connection within the limits
OF an ordinary mining claim. Some
times it cannot be done at all by rea-
son of the extent or direction of the
throw"

These tireless workers, operating 10 to
IA hours a day have made productive
mines out of rs per cent. of the better
properties in that camp. They made
such mines as the Hull City Placer,
Half Moon. New Zealand. Union, Speci-
men, Kimberly. Moon-Anchor. May
Queen, Orphan Belle. Lille Last Dol
lar, Could Work Jack Pot Findley, Pin
nacle, Acacia and a great many others.
In fact, all over the state where you
find the most active districts. there you
will find the leasers. Even more proper
ties might be opened if the owners were
more reasonable in their demands. They
should know that what lessees take out in
one or two years amounts to nothing in
comparison to the development they will
do and the bodies of ore they usually
discover.

But the skilled mining geologist
knows in what character of rock to ex-
pect mineral deposits, and he also I'M
derstands the usual association Of
rocks, so that when he finds one which
contains no mineral of, value he may,
In many cases, accurately conclude that
its companion rock which does contain
such minerals is near at hand. But
he cannot be entirely sure in all cases,
because some great underground con-
vulsion may have disturbed the asso-
citation. For the same reason he can
not be certain how deep a ledge ex-
tends. Nor can he be sure as to the
maintenance Of the values, because the
mineral solutions from which the met
ais are deposited differ greatly in rich
ness, and in some places the deposition
is more freely made than in Others.
But the chance talk is the veriest
bosh. man may accidentally stun
Bile on to a rich find and ten million
other men stumble" on through their
whole lives and find nothing of value
by chance. While the mining geologist
may not be able always to tell where
the values in paying amounts will be
found, he can generally tell almost witt
certainty where they will not be; and
this itself is enough to make. him q
ve1J important factor in mining opera.

The stock market for the week was

state of the money market is the prime
cause is further suggested by the fact
that many stocks besides coppers shared

Success in Leasing.

From the Denver Mining Reporter,
The surest and cheapest way To develop
a property is TO lease it. This may be ac
counted for in several ways: 1t is the
quickest, because lessees will work with
much more zeal than day laborers. Les
sees work over hours: study the charac-
ter of the rock opened up, follow string
ers, compare the sides of the Shaft, and
in this manner very often determine
their proximity to an ore shoot Hired
labor works with utter Indifference as to
the character Of rock, their only object
is to render a good weeks service and
secure their weekly wages.
AS a result of such Indifference very
often a rich ore shoot has been passed by
fraction of a yard, yet not discovered
until some Industrious, hard working
lessee takes hold of the property.
1t is cheapest for the owners, because
the discovery of the shoot with necessary
workings for its development is worth
to them more cIan all that will be taken
out during the life of an ordinary Lease
Lessees are their own managers, thus
the expense of maintaining an office
paying salaries to a manager, clerk, etc,
are not necessary They reduce mining to
a business basis, where every dollar ac-
complashes something. No unnecessary
expense is incurred.
1t is conceded by well-informed men
that the leasers made Cripple Greek.

By reason of the extent and diversifi-
cation of her mineral resources Utah
has frequently been called the Penn
sylvania of the West" Gold, silver,
copper, lead. asphaltum, marble and
onyx are all found within the con-
fines of the state and in goodly guam
titles. 1t has also long been known
that iron abounds there, especially in
the southern part, but as yet little or
nothing has been done in the way of
opening out the deposits. Distance
from the principal seats of the de-
mand has there, as in Montana, been
a great drawback. At the present time,
however. great hopes are entertained
of a speedy start in the development
of the iron resources of southern Utah.
The Salt Lake Herald reports that
Messrs. Young and Kraft have OBJ
tanned from l.. q. Letter of Chicago
the exclusive right to use in Utah the
Hemingway patents for the making
of coke, and that these gentlemen are
making strong efforts to secure both
coal and iron properties in Iron county
of that state. Utah has now reached a
stage of development on other lines
that would seem to amply justify an
effort to establish the iron industry
there on large scale.
