that prospect. as a general rule. had better be abandoned. if it dCe; not show premise a about 100 feet the chances are that it will net show any thing promising or big at 800 feet. says Mines and Minerals. The common in fatuation of miners of richness with greater depth is. in nirety-rinc eases cut of hundred. a fallacy
 When q new district has for a year CT more been turned over with pros pect holes from 50 to 1C0 feet in depth. and nothing worth calling pay ore has been found, that district had better be abandoned
 When district, despite it's favora bia surroundings. shows very little float scattered over it, it is bad sign and argues unfavorably for the exploration of the district. If these general rules were observed thousands of dollars that are now uselessly expended in pros- rectinG and in "hole-in- the ground in Vestments would be saved
 Generally speaking, a vein that is going to prove a big mine shows it self definitely on the outcrop, or by float scattered over the hillside There are exceptions. of course. but they are exceptions rather than the rule
 The finding Of an abnormally rich assay in q pocket in a prospect by nc means argues for the future richness of the vein. Such accidents are con- mon in all mines. and experienced miners are rather shy of specimen" mines than otherwise.
 It would be far more encouraging to find the vein as ii went down increasing n Si in lar Iy nf 1ov, grade ore, or to find richer minerals gradually coming in as a concomitant of the ore.
 Water ln large quantities encountered in the early stages of a prospect is an unfavorah hle sign. for it generally means that with depth the water will increase rather than diminish, and the extra expense Of machinery. pumps and haulaga will require the ore to be above par in richness to make it up.
 Distance from a railroad Or shelter is an important factor to be considered. A large low grade property may war rant a concentrating or other mill upon the spot. but small vein requires very rich ore to counterbaIance the cost of freight and transportation, not to men ton treatment. It is one thing to find d prospect ana another to knOW Wtla | to do with it when found.
 An experienced expert can generally form some idea or size up 2 prospect by examining the material Of the dump thrown out. If it is fairly well min eraiiZed the chances may be good but if the dump is little mineralizcd or hungry looking, it is rather against the prospect down below.
 When a little ore is found in a dis trict there often a mad rush of pres pectors and investors. and the area is prOspected with holes like a collenGer. while hotels. saloons, etc. go up like magic before people have the least idea whether the district will ba permanent In q year or two, or in even less time if we revisit the spot we find empty shacks and most liberal accomm0ia tiC1 cC" ourselves and horses in empty houses. and an air of desolation reign ing over the -pCpulous little town Never was the prOverb. don't count your chickens until trey are hatchcd'

There is. at present, a great demand fer nickel, so that its ores are being constantly sought. Nickel never occurs in d free state but always ccmpIAed with cobalt, iron, arsenic or sulphur. There are great number of ores of the metal, but only the s-lphide mil lcrite, the arsenide nfccolite and the magnetic iron pyrrhoute are common enough to be mentioned.
 Miilerite looks a great deal like the white pyrites Of iron, marcasite, and will be mistaken fer that mineral re- pettedly. Of course, the scarcity of mi!leritc makes the assumption that an ore might be mai castle very rrobab ble, but a person will do we'll to test such pieces, for the man who locates d nickel proposition will have something worth the holding. Nlillerite has d curious grcenish appearance that close inspection will disclose, which is lack inS in marcasite.
 |iccolite will never be mistaken for any other metal is one has ever seen it, on account of it's resemblance to q high copper bronze. Pyrrhotite is q familiar ore to most mining men. and N'iii iJI bCt1NlIh II OiIi pS lilc CI Cl6lCG- pyrite. which it resembles. by it's dark CT yellow color and it's magnetic prop critics.
 The blowpipe test. with borax bead. fer nickel. gives in the CXidizing flame q purple color white hot, brown or broWnish-red when cold; and in the re- ducing flame a gray or turbid bead. The ore should be roasted with little nitre or coal or heated in the oxidizing fam previous to making the tests, as they apply to nickel in an oxidized con- dition.
 The present activity of the nickel market is due to the use Of nickel steel alloy, the scarcity of the nickel making alloy prohibitive for railroad iron. water colsmns for mines, engine and pumy cylinders. for which use its prop critics peculiarly adapt it, as it has greater strength than pure steel. re- siSts cXidization nearly as well as pure nickel and has the smallest coefficient of expension Of all the best known metals or their alloys. Rails of this material could be laid without allow ance for expansion Steam pipes would net need bends. and the clearance of steam engines could be reduced.

England. Both houses Of parliament
have taken a great interest In Our un-
dertaking. and references to what we
have accomplished are frequently made
in their reports upon things industrial. J..
The London Council appointed a COM
mission of three to visit the westing-
house works to see how we accomplish
cd so much In such a limited time. The
masters there simply do not understand
how to handle men.
II arrived In London April 5, 1901. TO
take charge of the construction of the
Westinghouse plant. a former con-
tractor had been working on the build-
ings, but had accomplished practically
nothing. The Westinghouse company
was in dilemma. The plant had to be
completed within the year, and the
British contractors were almost unani-
nous In their declarations that the
work required could not be finished In
side of five years. Under such dis
courag gng conditions our firm assumed
control. I found 236 men employed. In
four weeks I had increased the force
to $500 men. and kept increasing it un
til I had 4,s00 men going. The finishing
touches were placed upon the buildings.
as per contract. on December 81. Thus
we had built the entire works in nine
months"
The English plant consists OF numer-
Gus buildings. The company has site
of 1870 acres. and at present fifty-fve
acres are inclosed within walls. 1t is
stated that 100000 bricks have been
used in the buildings. 13,5OO tons of
steel, 100000 cubic feet of lumber and
other materials in proportion. The
plant operates a large system Of rail-
roads. and the new buildings were nee
essary to change the motive power from
steam to electricity. This change me-
cessitated complete new equipment,
now being installed. TO illustrate the
rapidity with which work was carried
on under American supervision. Mr..
Stewart states that the stack of the
great power house, thirteen feet in di-
ameter and $50 feet high was completed
in ffty-five working days. Meanwhile
work everywhere else was pushed with
the utmost celerity.
This is a sample, but a fair one, of
what Americans are capable of doing,
and it explains our industrial suprem-
acy. American ingenuity and energy
are always equal to the occasion, even
when face to face with what others de-
clare to be impossible. This is why

Of transmission only.which has already,
to great extent, been solved.
Niagara Falls now mas the largest
electrical transmission plant in the
country. Next to this is the plant to
be developed in Plumas county, Cal,
on the north fork of the Feather river.
Some interesting details are given. Two
valleys are to be converted into reser-
voirs, or lakes, which will cover 10000
acres. and will furnish water sufficient
to generate 100000 horsepower by the
plan to be pursued--which Is to convey
the water through a ten-mile canal to
q point where it will have the enOr-
nous fall of 1.600 feet. Referring to
this project. Il contemporary explains
that the primary purpose of the pro-
moters of the enterprise seems to be
the generation of electric power for
transmission to San Francisco for use
in manufacturing. The distance COW
cred by the transmission lines when the
project Is carried out will aggregate $50
miles. There are already two electric
power plants utilizing Serran water
sources occupying the field, and it is
not improbable that the new electric
power plants opened on the headwaters
OF the Sacramento river will extend
their transmission lines to San Fran
cisco bay also.

GOLD GLORY"
From the Boston Globe.

The flag, the Stars and Stripes, was
named "Old Glory" in 1851 by Salem
| Mass, skipper named William Driver
| He was at that time captain of the brig
Charles Doggett.
Captain Driver was successful deep
sea sailor, and at the time of bestow-
ing the name "Old Glory in the Stars
and Stripes, he was preparing to shape
the briggs course to the Southern Paci-
fic. The story is told by the compiler
of the genealogical memoir of the
Driver family, Harriet Ruth (Watcrs)
Cooks.
Just before the brig left Salem, a
young man at the head of a party of
friends saluted Captain Driver on the
deck of the Doggett and presented him
with a large and beautifully made
American flag. 1t was done up in
stops. and when sent up aloft and
broke out to the air. Captain Driver
christened it "Old Glory"
He took it to the Southern Pacific.
and years after, when old age forced
him to relinquish the sea, he treasured
the flag as an old friend.
Captain William Driver removed to
Nashville. Tenn. in 1857. and he died
there in 1886. Previous to the outbreak
of hostilities between the North and the
South, "Old Glory" was flung to the
breeze every day from the window of
Captain Drivers Nashville house. but
when the bullets began to zip and the
odor of gunpowder to tant the air the
old flag had to be secreted.
It was kept out OF sight inside a great
bed comfortably until February 81 1862,
when Rrigadier General Nelson's wing
of the Union army appeared in Nash
Vile. when Captain Driver presented it
to the general, to be hoisted on the
capitol. 1t was run up, and Captain
Driver himself did the hoisting. He
watched it through the night. and, a
heavy wind coming up, he took it down
and sent a new flag up in it's place.
The original "Old Glory" was begin
ming to ribbon. The second flag owned
by Captain Driver was given to the
Sixth Ohio when that regiment left
Nashville for home. 1t was placed in
the rear of baggage wagon, where a
mule nosed it out and devoured it,
The original "Old Glory" was pre-
served, and after the death of Captain
Driver, in 1856, it was presented by the
compiler of the Driver memoir to the
Essex institute at Salem, Mass, where
1t may now be seen.
