Electricity

1t occurred in a class in physics in
prep" school, The student in ques-
ton had never felt the warm blood of
ambition coursing through his veins
and looked with superb indifference and
contempt on the subject of study of any
kind. In fact his study bump was fiat.
The subject before the class was cleo
tricity. Prof. Snyder propounded the
question to the youth,
What is electricity"
The young man arose, scratched the
place where his study bump ought 10
have been, gazed blankly into space,
and replied:
Don't known Wy
Fright! Right" exclaimed the pro-
lessor. First question you have an
swered right since have heard you re-
cite. Mark you perfect! No one knows

The same student was asked later in

replied:

THE PILOTAGE BILL.

This would hardly seem to be an
our legislature looking to the enact
ment for this territory of the California
uilotage law. A committe of the Cali
| fornia legislature has just been maxi
| ing an investigation and has reported
| findings that the positions of pilots are
regularly bought and sold. The polit-
age law of California has been a con-
| tinual source of corruption and scan
\ dal This could hardly fail to be the
case The pilotage fees amounting to
| a great many thousand dollars a year
| go to the pilots nd are divided up
among them. If the pilots had none
! but legitimate expenses attached to
| their positions, these positions would
be among the most lucrative in the
state. But there are other expenses.
The job is so lucrative that there is
| temptation to use means of any char
acter to secure it. The jobs are not al
ways bought outright. Some of the
| big transportation companies having
much influence are sometimes able to
get pilot appointed, and it is an open
secret in San Francisco that the big
| transportation companies do not pay
the full pilotage fees, but get consid-
cradle reduction, which works to the
disadvantage of the smaller concerns
or the owners of single vessels. Then
after the pilots have got their jobs
Of INy, nd
be, dividing their fees with the big
transportation companies, they are
subject to Matchmaking attacks in the
legislature, and the pilots are obliged to
keep inexpensive lobby at Sacramento
during every session of the legislature
in order top revent the repail of the
law under which they operate, or them
selves, from yielding blackmail. So
that in the end, the pilots do not have
left such very large salaries after all.
The net results of the California sys-
tenn seems to be that ship owners and
commerce pay good stiff pilotage fees
which the pilots are supposed to get.
AS a matter of fact the pilots or some
of them have to pay roundly for their
positions; the fees are cut down in
special cases for favor; the pilots have
to maintain an expensive lobby and in
the end the money paid in pilotage fees
goes very largely neither into the pub
lie treasury nor into the pockets of the
pilots, but into the pockets of black
mailers and favored ship owners, and
is a constant source of corruption. Such
at least is current belief among well
Informed men in San Francisco and
such is the testimony and findings of a
legislative committee of the California
legislature

Win. do you think of the Hump
Has it a definite future?
VIII! the veins and values go down?
Is the ore too base for successful
local treatment?
This is the substance Of the ques-
tons propounded last Saturday to
State Inspector Of Mines, Robert N.
Bell, who returned last week from a
tour Of inspection in Buffalo Hump.
In response, Mr.. Bell writes the follow :
ing glowing and scholarly report:
What do l think of the Hump
Why, I think it is a wonder as a gold
camp possibility, and as a developed
tact prominently superior to any
other gold camp in the state. 1t con-
tains the definite earmarks of develop
ing recource Of gold bullion of equal
volume to any other gold camp in the
United States, not excepting the justly
celebrated Cripple Creek in all its
glory. 1t may within the next o years
prove to be the pivotal point Of gold
mining activity, and production, OF
the whole west.
My information was gathered dur.
ing weeks visit to the camp between
Oct. r4th and 23rd. l went in by
way Of Adams camp and returned by
way Of Badger and Elk City. The
weather was clear and delightful dur.
ing the entire journey, and l was for.
tunate to find very little snow in the
vicinity Of the Hump, with the excep.
ton of local patches on the north
slopes and coves, which afforded me
an excellent opportunity to study its
surface geology, its typographical sur
roundings and advantages.
l have been accused of being a
sorehead and knocker, on the merits
Of one very prominent Idaho county
gold camp, which of course l deny
and maintain that l gave it all its
merits justified at the time. l hope
was mistaken, and stand ready to re-
wise my story whenever they can "show
me" that my guess was wrong.
What prestige l have lost on account
of my former work in Idaho county,
hope to regain in my present work on
the Hump, and l still maintain tina,
! am now and always have been a
boomer! I believe in booming, believe
it is and know it has been an essential
and unavoidable part of the develop
ment Of every rugged and remote
mining district in the world. l believe
in booming on merit, however, and il
you will watch my smoke, you will
find that l don't try to get much noise
out Of a cracked drum.
Mining booms have varying effects
on varying interests. Some powerful
investor, for instance is trying to ge,
a hip.lock on new camp, or some
more moderate promoter is trying tc
get a pig-headed, claim-poor, claim
holder to listen to rational business
deal. Or on the other hand, some
struggling, non -assessable advocate Of
gilt edged securities, is offering to dis
count sure thing twenty, fifty, ninety
per cent, to raise enough OF funds for
his initial step to the vaults of afflu.
ence, and wants encouragement.
Both sides Of the fence look alike tc
