A BAR TO PROGRESS.
Tendency in Army to Cling to 0b-
 solete and Useless Traditions.
Louis Gathmnna, the InveAtor, rellS c Funny Story oo uIustrata c Pointed Cxittei.zn on Army
 Conssrvatisn-

Louis Gathmann, the Chicago inven- for, has fund of funny stories, most of them dating back to the days when he lived in Germany. He tells one story in particular to illustrate why it is that army ordnance officers invariably dis courage new ideas in gunnery instead of welcoming inventions, as persons in charge of any private enterprise would naturally do. "WhepI went to Holland as boy" said the shrewd old inven tor, 'I had an experience with ordinary army methods l have never forgotten. It seems there was guard posted at e certain corner for some twenty-odd years. The sentry was relieved every four hours or so without the slightest question during all that time.
 Finally some one began to question why a guard was posted at that par ticuIar corner at all. A hbOrious search was instituted among the old army records, and finally, to the amuss- ment of everybody, the reason for that sentry was at last discovered Itseems that fence was painted on that cor ner. and to keep the people from soiling their clothes some well-disposed officer stationed @ soldier with a gun there. The paint dried on the fence and the fence fell down, and the corner was built up with another building. but the sentry still paced his beat there for % years or more
 'In this way some of our army trsdi- tions have been kept up, and officers who ara both brave and intelligent have gone on doing certain things in cer- tain way because a method was initi- ated in the department long years ago for particular contingency which has since entirely disappeared"

NEW SIX-INCH GUN.
aA Enort VIII Be Made Co ss- sure . Bettsr Weapon.

It has been decided that a new six inch rspid-fre gun is to be construct ed at the war department in an effort to secure a better gun of that type than has been purchased abroad by the navy department. The gun is to be built at the Bethlehem steel works and must give muzzle velocity of 3,OO0-foot seconds and be capable of being fired at the rate of at least 5000 pounds per minute at 2,5OO-foOt seconds velocity. The distinctive feat ures of this gun will be the breech mechanism, patented by the Bethle- hem company. The navy department recently purchased the right to use the breech mechanism of the Vickers people in England, the sum paid be- ing s25O.OOO.
 The Bethlehem mechanism is sup posed to be an improvement on the Viekers. Some recent tests made with the Vickers device, it is said, resulted in a gun being fired as many as ten shots per minute.
 The guarantee in the case of the Bethlehem mechanism is eight rounds in the same period, and there is a hope, of course, that the Vickers achievement will be surpassed

LAMB BREAKS UP A SCHOOL.
Anazz,al Much Resembling Mary's Re- seA6 BGoyts of Teacher to Pat
 Him Out UDssttisS Stove.

In 90 seconds snow-white lamb, belonging to flock that was being driven past the new schoolhouse on the Short Tract road the other day at Nunda, N. T., routed the entire school, frightened Miss Alice Ray, the teach CT. into mysteries, and forced the trus- tees to hold special session to ap- propriate money to repair the damage the lamb had done.
 "It's the sweetest little lamb, just the kind that followed Mary to school" Miss Ray said to her pupils as the lamb dashed into the room. The pupils thought so, too. until Miss Ray began to pet the lamb and show it toward the door. Then the little animal began racing around the schoolroom. It collided with the stove and knocked leg from under it and it fell in heap. The coals scattered all over the floor, starting a fire.
 Miss Ray and the pupils broke for the door and escaped, followed by a bhnding smoke. They carried snow and water and put out the fire. The lamb was extricated by John Bennett, who was driving the flock. Miss Ray went home suffering from nervous prostration and school broke up for the day.

Mining Intelligence.

A Cripple Creek, Colo, telegram says that Senator E. O. Wolcott has struck the greatest ore body known in Colorado history. The strike was made four days ago and was discred- tied, but it now proves that the chute in his mine, the Last Dollar, is four
 teen feet between the walls, instead of five feet, as reported, and has been followed to the north, fifty-six feet The rich core runs from one foot to eighteen inches. The foot wall is granite and the hanging wall ph0no- lite, which for fifteen inches carries value of from one and half to three ounces. The lowest average of twen- tp-six sacks taken from various DOT tiOns went S6 ounces, or 17,720 a ton. From this the values run to S30,O00.
 Captain L. D. Philips, we'll ka0~n mining engineer, has just returned from making an examination of the Great Belcher, Mammoth and Rebel mines, of the Clifford holdings in that section. He is quite enthusiastic in his praise of the Great Beicher, and says that at depth of 425 feet there is an ore body opened up which is five feet wide and the ore from which will go S70 per ton. He says the in dications are good for the making of big mine out of this property.
 The Penn Gold Mining company continues the successful operation of its property on Lynx creek, and has demonstrated what can be accom- plished in the way mining by contin- ued, persistent work directed by in- telligent judgment. The success of the company has been so marked that it has just added to it's mill, increasing its capacity to eighty tons per day. When this company commenced oper- ations there, mining in that district was at low ebb. Parties who had been at work in desultory sort of way had become discouraged and left. The success achieved by the above com pany infused new life into the camp, and inspired others to increased ac- tivity and satisfactory results are being obtained all along the line. Among the promising properties of that sec ton, and one which has all the indi- cations of developing into a dividend paying proposition, is the group known as the Unlimited. These claims have recently changed hands and the pur- chaser has applied for patent on them and it is understood that just as soon as this is completed work will be com menced in their active developments The recent storms of two weeks gives an assurance of an ablndance of water for mining purposes, so that all conditions are favorable for a success ful and prosperous year. Lynx creek district has always been popular with miners. as it was among the first in the county worked for placer gold, and al- though that was nearly forty years ago, it has been worked ever since. Its lodges hayealways yielded rich ore on the surface, and wherever depth has been attained they have kept Hp their reputation. What has been accom- plished by the Penn Gold Mining company there is possible with score or more other claims in the district.

Consul Hughes, at Coburg, Germany, reports to the state department that for years a substitute for benzine has been in demand. The objectionable points about benzine are its high in fammability and volatility, the danger of poisoning the atmosphere, etc. This was one of the chief topics of discus sion at Hanover, and this fall the sub ject came up once more at the meet ing.et Cassel, when premium of about $250 was offered. for an effectual sub stitute for benzine, or for means of rendering it less dangerous.

It is said the reason Mir. Allen changed the name of the proposed new county, from Clark to Verde, is that he is not sure of being able to get it through and he does not want to take chances of anything bearing the name of Clark going down in de- feat. Mir. Allen might have added, and probably did so mentally, that the new county if created will be Clark $ no matter what it is called.
