While drilling is carried on the
shovelers are removing the
broken rock from the previous
blast. BY the time this has been
cleared away the machine-men
are ready to take down the bar,
set it again in a horizontal posi-
ton near the floor of the drift
and drill bottom-holes or cliff
ers. These being finished, the
machine is taken down the holes
are cleaned out, and a floor is
laid for the shovelers. Every
thing is then ready for the blast
ing, which, as in other parts Of
the mine, is performed between
l and 7 a. m. by special crew.
In headings where a certain
number OF holes have to be
drilled before the whole set or
round" can be blasted, the
difficulty with the hole system
q. e., the system Of payment ac-
cording to linear feet Of aggregate
drilling is in making sure that
the contractors finish this work
before blasting time, in order
that they may not have to lose
working time during the blasting,
and thus tn they may be kept
continuously employed This
difficulty is met, either ca by in
Icreasing or decreasing the depth
Of the holes to be drilled, or d.
by having one or two spare head
| ings OF stopping breasts in which
contractors can utilize their extra
time The latter eXpedient is to
be preferred, for the reason that
/ to secure the best effect the
depth of drill holes ought to be
determined on other grounds
than thai Of the time required TO
drill them.
ADVANTAGES or THE HOLE
SYSTEM.
l. Its applicability in stopping.
where the ore shoots are irregular
in outline, and measurement by
weight or volume OF the ore
broken cannot be easily made
.. Within certain limits the
number of machines in any che
stope can be varied at will; and
there is no difficulty such as
would arise from the necessity
of keeping separate the work
done by each set of contractors.
3. The system is extremely
elastic; that is, the same set OF
Contractors can be employed in
different headings or slopes
without any resultant confusion
in measuring the work perfor
med.
1. Blasting is done only in
the interval between ! a. m. and

ing for the smoke and gas to be
cleared away from the working
faces.
/ DISADVANTAGES OF THE HOLE
SYSTEM.
AS above shown. this system
has been perfectly satisfactory
in slopes. In headings, the
disadvantages, as compared
with the linear system of pay
ment per running foot, are as
follows
1. Two S.hour shifts only are
employed under the hole system
while by the system Of paying
according TO the linear progress
of the heading. three shifts may
be employed daily, and blasting
done at any time, thus often in.
creasing the rate Of advance,
which may be matter OF
supreme Importance in opening
new ground, etc.
.. The difficulty, already dis
cussed, of so laying out the work
that the round Of noles may bC
completed in the two daily shifts
without an undue loss OF time &c
the contractors.

S0ME SUGGESTIONS
rIade By Capt. J. F. Hansen, of the Northern Commercial Co.,, and F. Ii. Flagg, Deputy Collector of in- terral Revenue-Qoid and Fish.

Speaking of an Alaskan exhibit at 1 the St Louis Exposition in 1903, Capt J. F. Hansen says that about the only 1 products we have to exhibit are gold. | fish and native curios. Alaska, he says, is no longer fur producing coun- try. That era has passed. An excel | lent exhibit of gold might be had from this section, including the big nuggets found thisyear on the Pioneer Mining Company's claims. The fish exhibit of this section could also be made an in- tereSting one.
 The finest collection of Alaska curios ever seen is undoubtedly that which was made by the Alaska Commercial Company. It was presented a few years ago to the University of Cali lornia. Capt. Hansen says that with out doubt this collection could be se- cured from the University for exhibi- tion purposes at St. Louis. Capt. Han sen thinks that the best man that could be gotten to take charge of Alaska exhibit is Lieut.. Emmons. of the navy. who was in charge of the territory's exhibit at the Worlds Fair at Chicago. Lieut.. EmmOns took great interest in the work, and he has thorough knowl- edge of the resources of Alaska.
 +. H. Flagg. deputy collector of in ternal revenue for Northern Alaska. suggests that the selection of man to take charge of the exhibit should be referred to former United States Sen ator Mcbride, of Oregon. The eX- senator has always taken an active in terest in Alaska affairs, and he may be depended upon to look after our in- tcrests. Another member of the St
 Louis Exposition Commission is eX- Senator Carter. of Montana.

Whjskev Discovered in a Cave.

Nothing too good for the patrons of Board of Trade. Just received , bar rels of MOOnShine corn whiskey that was made in 1870 by Harris Tyson in the Blue Ridge mountain district of North Carolina and being made contrary to law was hid in cave to prevent the government from collecting the rev. enue. He stored 800 barrels in this cave. Some ten years later he was killed by revenue officer and the whiskey was forgotten, until 1900 when his son. Harris Tyson, Jr., discovered the entl ance to this cave and entered for half mile, when he was attracted by very pleasant OdOr. Having a desire to locate the OdOr he continued 8 little further where he discovered a pile of half decayed slaves and iron hoops and q short distance ahead he came to small lake and on examining it he fOundit to be whiskey. It had been put up in barrels with iron hoops which had ruSte0 and broke and let the whiskey out and it formed this lake. He immediately set up 6 distill- cry aad refined the whiskey. getting only go barrels out of the original 500. It is as pure as whiskey can be made, being made from white flint corn and pure mountain waler and has never passed through the hands of any Jew rectifier or wholesale dealers. Try it straight or as hot toddy and you will say 1t is the proper thing. We also handle Duff Gordon sherry, vintage 1883; c. V. o.

An InduIgent Jury.

The case of E. D. McDougall vs. the Mort hwestern Commercial Company was tried in the district court on We'd nesday. This was an action for dam ages, growing out of the alleged failure of the company to transport the de- fendant to Seattle on the steamship Centennial on hsrlast trip out last year. A storm arose about Nov. !, and, it will be rcmbered that all the steamers in the roadstead sailed for the south, the Centennial leaving about 6 o'clock on the morning of Nov. g. McDougall was left behind, and an indulgent jury awarded him $l.l00.
