peacefully The waters whispered
softly as they ran, and there was no
pollution"
Ram Lal speaks truly" whispered
man to man.
Look at our godmother now!" eX-
claimed the man, as his face grew
fierce and his words came with a hiss.
''Can you find me a crocodile for
miles up or down? Since when have
you seen a raft bearing its dead down
to the Ganges? The white man has
planted heaps of stones to veX the
waters. He has polluted them with
oil and mud until they disgust us. He
is building a great bridge here, and
over it will travel the iron monsters
which shrek and hiss and rumble and
care not for the living or the dead.
Shall it be so, or shall it not? Shall
our godmother have peace again as
she flows on, or shall these white men
be allowed to vex her until she bursts
her bonds in anger and sends her wa
tiers into our houses and our temples
to punish US? l have called you here
to ask you. I have spoken"
Ram Lal has spoken, and we see
and feel and think as he does" re-
piled each man in the group around
him.
Five days, hence" said the leader
as he looked from face to face 1.-The
bridges will be finished and a train will
pass over it, and the white men will
rejoice and be full of pride. In every
thing these English have their heels
on our necks. They have torn down
our temples, destroyed our holy
ponds, and damned and bridged our
sacred rivers. Nothing is sacred to
them. Know We not that this very
line of railroad runs through the
graves of men, women and children
have gone with the dirt to fill the
holes? l bade you toll all these
months because there was famine in
the land and the white men paid well
for your labor, but l also planned that
you should destroy as well as build.
The time is ripe"
'The time is ripe" murmured the
others.
And now our hands shall work de-
struction and free our godmother of
these unholy Instructions which
anger her flow. Back to your men
and pass the word. Let ali be made
ready, but let no hand be raised until
1 give the signal. Then strike to-
ssther."
I'VE will strike together"
A quarter Of an hour later the whis-
tie blew again, to be re-echoed by the
elephants as before, and then 5000
human ants returned to their digging
and delving.

room.

laughed Clifford.
That night, as the natives slept or
fitted through the jungles, the six
white men composing the engineer and
constructors staff worked for hours to
loophole the stone houses. The one
on the south bank was prepared for
something larger and more destructive
than a repeating rifle. Next morning
some of the natives wondered at the
loop-holes in the walls, but others an
swered them:
1T is plain enough. The sahibs want
more light and air."
Thirty feet below the abutment
party of natives was set to work to
build a solid wall on each side of the
railroad track, leaving the track itself
as the only opening. They pondered
over it, but at length one of them clap
ped his hands and exclaimed
Il have it. The sahibs will have an
iron gate here to prevent our oxen from
wandering on the bridge and falling
through"
Two days later the quick-fring gun
arrived. After working hours it was
run UP the approach on a flat-car and
unlOaded at the house. and no native
was the wiser. That night and the
night after Clifford was abroad in dis
guise, but he got no news. On the
succeeding night, however, as he saunt-
cred and smoked beneath the stars, the
Hindoo girl appeared at his side and
said:

after the uprising the white men will

they will plumber the storehouses and

on Sunday there was an air of sup
, pressed excitement throughout the
scattered camps. The natives wan
dered further than usual, and gathered
often in groups, but there was no
| drunkenness or rOting-no overt act
! to give their conspiracy away. They
may have noticed that the sahibs
neither tished nor hunted nor rowed,

What is Pay Ore?

The answer to this question depends so absolutely upon the local environ mept of the mine operated aside from the fact that to make a dividend pay ing mine the ore must be of sufficient value to pay all costs Of mining and marketing and converting the pro- duct into cash.
 A favorite example of how low grade an ore can be considered pay is the flask a-Treadwell at Sitka, which has paid g., GOO, 900 in dividends working on ore which ran approximately S2 a ton. There are other mines that can be worked at a profit, although pro- ducing ore running Sl00 or more per ton.
 The Homesake is another example Of mine that has produced apprOxi- mately sl5, 900, 900 in dividends on ore worth about $4 per ton. These two and scores of other sim liar ipropositions have created tre- mendous interest in the dividend probabilities of large bodies of low grade ore.
 The best mining practice. therefore, has been successful in developmen along these lines, so that not only are the ore bodies properly opened and broken down economically but the very best milling and smelting prac- tice has secured economical recovery and extraction of the values.
 It is trite bat, nevertheless, abso- lutely correct statement of fact that elch mine is an individual proposition, and each m Ist be wrought out in ac- cord with the phenomena of ore oc- currence peculiar to it.
 So, too, the ore in each mine be- comes a separate problem for the metallurgist to work out to the best | adva ntage.

New Process for Smelling Ores.

"Chlorinc smelting" is the very new est thing in metallurgy and II it is lC per cent. as good as the promoters al- lege, it is very good indeed.
 In fact, the general introduction Of the process in our western states will mean something of a revolution in the mining industry so far as it relates to the reduction of sulphide ores Of lead. copper and zinc.
 Hitherto nothing has appeared in the American press regarding this process, and patents, though applied tor have not yet been granted. The Fl Paso Herald correspondent has se- cured the first authoritative descrip- tion Of the process to be given to the public.
 So 'many of the mining districts oi the western states have sulphide ores to deal with some of which are very difficult to reduce, that no doubt many Of the readers of the mining pro- fesslon will be interested to know something of the new process. Briefly it is as follows:
 A charge of any sulphide ore, as for instance, galena, zinc blende, or cop per pyrites, is put into vessel like a Bessemer converter, and heated enough to start reactions. Into it is pumped cold. dry chlorine through carbon tuyere.
 The chlorine displaces the sulphur which goes of as vapor and Is con- densed as flowers of sulphur, thereby h helping to pay for the treatment, and forms chloride Of the metals in the ore, giving of enough heat to keen the contents of the converter melted without need of further external heat.
 Into tine converter thereafter are fed powdered ore and chlorine gas, while from it is tapped the melted re- action product, mixture of fused chlorides with the gangue floating in it as loose powder.
 As the second step in the process. :his fused melt, with some ores, is di- rectly yelectrolyzed, thereby giving the metals as zinc or lead. together with free chlorine which is led back into ;he converter to treat more ore. The chlorine. it will be seen, is used over and over again and there is no appre- ciable loss-'f there were, the factory would not be habitable. Chlorine is

SURVEYORS IN SOLOMONVILLE.
Santa Fe Crew Reach Town on Re-
 turn Trip.

The Santa Fe surveying party that has been running a survey from Dud- ieyville in Pinal county to rdsburg, Ne" Mexico, a distance Of Is) miles, arrived in Solomonville FLiday morn Ing or their return trip, and departed Monday for Dudleyville from which place a new line will be run. The line as surveyed starts from Dudleyvlle and traverses the fertile Gila valley to Duncon where it leaves the river and crosses the plain to ordsburg which will be its terminal point.
 From SolomOnvifle to Duncan the survey stakes lead up the river in or der to obtain the best grades. Al ! Duncan branch survey was made tC 1 Solomonville, across the mesa, and z grade established. This is the nor, direct route, but its preference ovel the river route if any, was not stated
 l. has been stated that the survel | party will run a new line up the val ley nearly paralelling the first survey, and that they will be in SolomOnville in April next.
 While running the survey up the Gila at a point near the mouth of Eagle, they ran across the skeleton o man supposed 70 have been dead two or three months. The skull was frs found. Returning to the place next day the skeleton was found near by The remains were likely those of q Mexican. Attached to the neck was the crucifx and picture of the savior showing the man to have been Cath olic. The man was drss5ed in overalls and jumper nearly new, and his shoes were but little worn. No marks could be found as to how he met his death. He was supposed to have been wood chopper.
 The body was buried where found by the surveyors.

A Plan for Arbitration.

A prize of s20O offered bout year ago by the American Humane Educa- tion society, for the best suggestion as to how to prevent strikes, has been awarded to Mr. Amos Hudson Bailey, of Meriden, New Hampshire. sym opsis of this plan appears in Public Opinion.
 Mr. Bailey proposes the establist- ment of two systems Of courts; one by the states, the judges to be selected oy popular vote. This comprises three courts, the industrial court, the indus trial court Of appeals, and the lindus- tial supreme court. The other system also consists of three courts, the judges to be appointed by the president, to be approved by the senate. These courts are to have jurisdiction in any labor disputes which cannot be brought be- ! fore the civil court. Full liberty shall ! be given in the presenting of evidence, and no evidence which may have Q 1 bearing on the case in hand which shall be ruled out on techinal grounds. In rendering a decision the court shall first strive to suggest adjustments of 1 differences that tho decision Of the court shall be satisfactory to both, or all parties concerned, and may be vol untarily accepted by them. But in case Of failure in such arbitration the decision of the court shall be accord ing to the facts and shall be final, sub l ject only to appeal from lower to be from q lower court of one series to a higher court of another series, or Of the same series.
 An important principle is embodied in this plan. It recognizes the right of the public to bring suit for the ar- bitration Of labor disputes. It also recognizes the right of employers, and employees, to bring suit by their ap- | pointed agents. That would seem to ! do away with the wrangling about t1e recognition" of unions. The govern ment, too may take action on its own account, or the court may take the | initiative and institute hearing. 1 Either public, the government, the employer, the employe, or the court may demand the peaceful settlement Of q labor dispute.
 Another feature of the plan is the measure proposed against strikes. h case ot a strike, the government may, st its discretion, take the possession of the labor part Of the business or in- duStry involved. It shall, by public notice, inform the strikers that the case and all matters involved in the strike are in charge of the court. And when such notice is given to the strik- CTS and employees. all further negotia- tious shall be through the court: and any disturbances on the part of the strikers or other persons because of the strike shall be treated as contempt of court. In order to protect the own- CTS and the public against needless loss by the cessation of labor, the court may employ laborers to take the plac9 made temporarily vacant by the strike, on such terms as shall be satis- factory to the employers and to the court. If the case is decided agains; the strikers, the court shall also de- eide as to the reinstatement Of the strikers.

not pleasant as an atmosphere.
 In the case Of other metals whose chlorides are not well adapted to dry electrolysis, as in the case of copper, the melt is dissolved in water and then electrOlyzed, the chlorine pro- duced being used oveT and oyer as be- fore.

WITHIN The LAW.

The Springfield Republican charges
President Roosevelt with disregard for
law IN the Panama affair. The law OF
the land. that paper says. instructs
President Roosevelt that IL he cannot
come to an agreement with Colombia
in regard to the Panama canal he
shall proceed to dig canal by the
Nicaragua route" The inference Is
that, as no agreement was reached With
Colombia, the law made II incumbent
upon him to turn TO Nicaragua, and
that he has disregarded that law
The feet, however, Is that the canal
act does not require that an agreement
be entered into with Colombia. In sec.
2 the president Is authorized TO secure
from Colombia, on reasonable terms,
the control OF territory necessary for
the canal. And that Is natural be-
cause the sovereignty over the territory
was then held by Colombia. But in sec.
4. which Is the only one bearing on the
question raised by the Republican II
is merely stated that, should the pres
ident be unable to obtain for the Unit
ed States satisfactory title to the
property OF the new Panama Canal
company, and the control Of the nee
essary territory Of the republic of Co
lombia, and the rights mentioned In
sections ] and 2" etc, then he shall
proceed TO dig by the Nicaragua route
II il evident that both the title to the
property and the control of the terri
tory OF Colombia win be obtained on
reasonable terms, the latter through
events not evvn foreseen by the trainers
of the canal act and that the president
is within both the letter and the spirit
of that act. Congress directed him to
construct the Panama canal provided
control of that territory could be OBJ
tanned, on reasonable terms. II can be
obtained on such terms. and he would,
consequently, violate the law by aban-
doning that route for Nicaragua.
