How To measure A Stream

A good rule for measuring a stream
of water to see if It's volume and velo.
city are sufficient for hydraulic purposes
in placer mine is furnished the Min
es and Mining man by +. A. Clifton. 1t
Is as follows: Measure the depth of the
water at from six TO twelve points
across the stream, with equal distances
between the points. Add all the depth
in feet together and divide by the
number of measurements made; this
will give the average depths
piled by its width will
give It's area or cross-section Null
tiply this by the velocity of the stream
in feet per minute and you will have
the cubic feet per minute of the
stream. The velocity of the stream
can be found by laying off 100 feet on
the bank and throwing float into the
stream, noting the time it takes the
float to pass over the 100 feet. Do this
q number of times and take the aver
age. Then dividing this distance by
the time gives the velocity in feet per
minute at the surface. AS the top of
the stream flows about percen. faster

A Story Of the Torpedo.
For three years Henry Foy had been
doing just the assess m emit work on his
claim, the Torpedo, in the Organ
mountains, when Billy Hayden, w. r.
Mccormick and r. Y. Anderson took
lease from him and bonded the claim.
Soon thereafter an expert miner
came to Mr.. Hayden and wanted to
suitcase it from the trio. Mr.. Hayden
figured that If an expert miner saw
something in the mine that made him
SO anxious to get hold of 1t,
it must be worth keeping, SO
before giving the miner his
answer he sent Mr.. Anderson to the
mine to make an inspection and secure
some samples to be assayei. He picked
up few pieces of loose stuff that Mr..
FOy had thrown out on the dump and
these were proved by the assayer to be
ascertained the work OF developing the
mine was commenced at once.
They found that Mr.. Foy, slthough
an experienced mining man, had been
throwing out on the dump what he
supposed to be copper stained dirt,
but which was in reality rich silica.e
of copper. In one day two men shovel
ed up q car load of this which brought
the lessees $500. Mr.. Foy had
thrown away, as worthless, ten tons of
this valuable "dirt,'' and there were
many tons more lying loose IN the
mine. For three months the miners
shoveled out good-paying copper ore
without firing q shot.
The three lessees sold stock in the
mine. each pocketing neat little
fortune, and still retaining few
shares each. Messrs. Mccormick aud
Anderson are still holders of consider
able stock in the Torpedo but Mr..
Hayden has only enough to retain his
position as director ia the company.
All three of these men have con-
trolling interests in the Modoc mine,
operated by Chicago syndicate, of
which Harold o Crane, of Chicago, is
president and Dudley A.. Tying, a
cousin of Cornell q Vanderbilt, is
vice-president.

A Valuable Prospect.

Pete Davenport was up from kilo-
meter 81, Sierra Msdre line, Sunday to
visit his father in this city. He brough t
with him some samples of ore from a
mine at that place owned by himself,
his father and Jake Wsmsley. The ore
ia estimated to assay from twenty-five
per cent upwards of copper and q good
showing of silver and gold. The mine Ia
located near to the Sierra Madre rail-
road and this will be quite figure in
making the property great payer, Mr.
Davenport Sr. is sick in bed and has
not yet been able to go down to the
mine himself but expects to go soon.

Senator Edmunds Attitude.
Chicago Chronicle.


Ex- Senator Geo. +. Edmunds has been
strongly opposed to retaining the Philip
pine islands, but when it comes to a
choice besween"imperialism"a Bryan
ism he is troubled by no doubts. He an
nounces that he is for the republicans
ticketand is emphatically opposed to any
separate action by those republican
who object TO the expansionist policy,
because such a step would improve the
chances of Bryan and that would be
dangerous for the country. "Saying that
Imperialism is the most important issue
does not make it So" remarks Mr.. Ed,
munds. '-You cannot separate the idea
of getting one of the two gentlemen
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Bryan-for presi
dent, | choose the one that has the less
faults" In other words, Mr.. Edmunds
acknowledges that his fears Of imperial
ism are as vague AZ the word itself, while
the danger from an unsound financial
policy is definite and disastrous.
