SUNDAY CLOSING OF MINES.
As Much Work Can Be Done In Six as in
Seven Days.

There is a decided agitation going on IN
various parts OF the country over the
question ot six DAYS tor q week 5 work IN
mining camps, and the questian Is being
solved along these lines. Experience is
teaching the lesson that the miners can
accomplish as much work IN six DAYS rs
they did previously In seven. Many mine
operators IN Butte, Montana, and Utah
and some IN Colorado are realizing the
truth oi this and are extending the six
day rule much more generally than here.
toiore; 80 that Il begins to appear that the
seven DAY week, thirty a month, and
three hundred aud sixty.ilve a year plan

from which Il sprang.
II Is strange that mine operators have
been SO tardy in conforming their plan OF
action to what is now demonstrated 10 he
stientiiitly imperative. II is a matter OF
proof that the French ten.day a week
system was destructive to all the best in.

that they take their DAY ot rest every

Presbyterian Choir Concert.

The concert given last Thursday even.
ing by the Presbyterian church choir was
what the management promised Il would
be, a real musical treat. Where every
number was worthy Of special mention
Il is difficult, and perhaps seemingly In.
vidious, to single out any one for com.
mendation, without mentioning all. The
two vocal solos, one by Mrs. Z. Sadie
White and the other by s. N. Steele, were
highly appreciated by the audience, and
both received hearty eneores. Both have
unusually fine voices, highly cultivated.
Mrs. Swan, who carried a part In a duet
and also In a quartet, has a charming
voice, under perfect control, while Miss
Carrie Spaulding sings as sweetly as a
bird. The mandolin and guitar duet by
Misses Anna and Stella Brooks was BY
some considered the instrumental hit Of
the evening.

OF the Cripple Creek district are examined
that the mortality Is much greater In that
camp than prevails In any similar camp
where the six day plan is In operation. Il
has been claimed by Cripple Creek mine
owners that their men worked as well
and lived as long under the present sys.
TEN as II the six day plan was In vogue.
Such statements are contrary to common
sense and in direct opposition to the
scientific investigator and II will take
more than the word Of a selfish mine
superintendent to establish such a claim.
Cripple Creek, so tar ahead In all matters
OF mining in general, Is most lamentably
deficient in this one great principle Of con.
servation OF human energy.-Mining

SCIENTIFIC PROSPECTING.
Applied Ia the Granite District With Rich
Results.

e.. C.. Higgins and n. +. Anderson, OF
Salt Lake, ran across stray copy Of
the Granite Boulder last February and
concluded to come out here instead Of
going to Cape Nome. They got camp
outfit In Granite, struck out on the short
cut towards the Bonanza, going about
four miles before they got into country
that hadn't all been located.
There they commenced panning a little
gulch and followed It up until they
couldn't get any more colors. Then they
prospected around and found where the
pay dirt ran up the side Of the mountain.
After following It up the side Of the
hill until It showed no more colors, they
began trenching and soon uncovered the
ledge which gave string Of gol an inch
and a half long In the pan. This en-.
couraged them and they began sinking OH
the lode and now have several tons OF
milling ole on the dump.
The strike Of the ledge is nearly north
and south and the dip nearly perpendicu.
lar. II lies between porphyry on the hang.
ing wall and a slate foot wall, showing
about five feet wide near the surface, with
indications Of widening as they 60 down.
The vein Is true contact, and the same
kind Of proposition as made many a poor
prospector rich In the early days Of quartz
mining here, where a ledge had to pay
from the grass roots or the prospector
could not follow Il.
The property Is called the Golden Fleece
Consolidated, and we hear It rumored that
Mr.. Higgins will leave for Salt Lake next
week to make arrangements for pushing
development work on this valuable pros.
pett.-Granite Boulder.

EXIST ONLY ON THE MAPS.
There Are Many Islands That Are
known TO GcogrHphers, hut
No One Else.

One of the strangest and most sue
cessful hoaXes on record has lately been
exposed through report made to the
photographic office at Washington by
Capt. Buford, of the transport Grant,
plying between San Francisco, Honolulu
and Manila. AS u result of the reports
received by the photographic office it
has been decided that Morrell and
Dyer islands, named after Capt. Morrell
and his mate, who "discovered" them
in the whaling schooner Tartar, never
had any existence, but were simply re-
ported by the captain and his mate as
n means of achieving the distinction OF
having their names on the charts and
maps of the Pacific ocean, says the New
York Sun.
Since 1925 the two islands have been
charted and navigators and students
all the world over have accepted Capt.
Morrell's report that they were where
he stated he had found them. Capt,
Morrell reported the islands to be in
north latitude 30 degrees and SO min
utes, east longitude ia degrees and 81
minutes. He gave detailed descriptions
of the islands, which were duly put on
record, and the government charts
were corrected accordingly. The
whaler stated in his report that
he had taken possession in the
name of the United States and it was at
his request that they were named Nor
rell and Dyer, in honor Of the captain
and mate.
1t now appears that the report was
all joke. The captain and mate went
through life without ever giving il
away, if it was, while vessel after vessel
in crossing the Pacific kept careful
lookout for two little islands that had
no existence. Capt. Morrell and Matt
Dyer carried to the grave with them the
knowledge that the government had
charted islands that were only dream

ton of Hawaii brought the end of the
international marine joke. Trave

A Billion a Year on Armies and War.

During the decade which is closing
the present century there have been
over dozen wars, and they have cost
more than 100000 lives and many hun
dreds OF millions of dollars. The most
important of these are the war. be-
tween China and Japan in 1894 and
1895, the war between Turkey and
Greece in 1897, the war between Spain
and Cuba, the war between Spain and
the United States, the war between
the United States and the Filipinos,
and the war between Great Britain
and the South African republic. At
the present time several wars are GO
ing on and more are threatened
Great Britain has not yet conquered
the Beers; the United States has not
yet conquered the Filipinos; Great
Britain is fighting in Ashanti, and the
situation in China offers all kinds OF
complications. The nations are spend

they talked pretty busily and con-
stantly until they got to the house.
There Johnny was made as much OF
as any proud parents heart could
have desired. Knox admired the in
FAINT unresewedly and Mrs. Knox went
into raptures over him and the shad-
ow passed for the present from Helm
ick's soul.
After dinner Knox proposed to
Helmick that they should have q lit
tie walk and "leave the women to Wis
It," Helmick did not take this sug-
gestion altogether in good part, for
his wife was at this time relating
very interesting incident of Johnny's
checkered career. lie was rather a
sensitive man, but he vent, neverthe-
less.
AS they closed the garden gate
Helmick said: my wife didn't finish
telling you what that youngster of
ours said to his Aunt Libbie. Libbie's
beau was IN the room at the time
and that made the joke all the better.
He started to climb up on her knee
and"
Look over there" said Knox, indi-
eating with his thumb. "There's the
property you threw away like the
chump that you were. Look at it now.
Do you know how much values have
advanced in LaurelhursJ since you
left? Fifteen per cent.-not sou
markee less. If you had hung on
you'd have had something to show
for your money by his time"
"Who's in there now?" asked Helm
ick, rather sulkily.
"a man by the name Of Titus. He
seems to be rather c,ever sort OF
fellow, but he plays poor game of
whist. Do you notice that new block
of houses down there? That's the
half-acre you said wouldn't be built

He dragged Helmick along with
him, discoursing thus and pointing
out the mprovements-th addition tc

WORLDS BEYOND NEPTUNE.
Made by Professor Lnu, of
Denmark.

In 1916 Adams and lie Verrier pointed
out that the motion of the planet
Uranus was disturbed in n progressive
manner probably by an unknown plan
ct. The planet Neptune was discovered
in that year in consequence of their cal
culations, as everyone knows.
The methods that they employed
have been perfected since that time and
the theory of Neptune has been critic
ally examined by Prof Newcomb and
others to see if it yielded any evidence
for the existence of unknown major
planets revolving about the sun in or
bits exterior to those of Uranus and
Neptune. Prof. Newcomb's conclu-
sions were that the evidence was not
yet decisive either way. The problem
has lately been attacked again by Hans
Lau, of Copenhagen, who finds evidence
that two such planets exist. At least il
the major planets pointed out by him
do exist the observations of Uranus
and Neptune which he has used Q690-
1880 would represent the theoretical
motions of these planets better than
they are represented, supposing his
planets not to exist. His theoretical
planets have these elements, says the
Chicago Chronicles:
First planet-Distance from the sun,
Al times the earth's distance; mass one
twelve thousand nine hundredths of the
suns mass.
Second planet-Distanc from the sun
II times the earth's distance; mass one
twenty-eight hundredths of the suns
mass.
Both of these planets are thus exteri.
or to Neptune, whose distance from the
sun is 80 times the earth's distance
The first planet has mass somewhat
greater than that OF Neptune, the sec
| ond planet mass somewhat greater
than that of Saturn. The stellar mag
nitude would be about tenth and hence
they are easily photographed. Prof
Pickering, director of the Harvard col
lege observatory, has instituted {
search for them on the Photographic
maps of the sky which are in process o
construction at Cambridge. Such plan
cts as these would have a small, though
appreciable, disk, and would therefor,
differ in appearance from the fixe'
stars in their neighborhood. 1t is like
ly that if they veritably exist they coul'
be detected by their appearance alon
in the great telescope of the Yerkes an
Lick obseryatories.
The researches undertaken by Nj
Lau are very delicate and it is far fror
certain that the data are sufficient TO
the purpose. The method is adequat
and sooner or later will lead to com
plete solution.
