Buell. Mil Running

Last week the Buell. mill which has
been in course Of construction for tho
past two months by McFarlane & Co..
was started up and has been running
constantly since. The mill is Of so
stamps, but present only % are finished
and running. They are OF the fast drop
The mill is one of the most handy and
complete ever put up in the county, and
is doing excellent work SO far.
AS the ore is brought to the surface it
is dumped into grizzley. the finer dirt
passing through and the rocks passing
over and into large ore crusher, all Of
the dirt running into y bin from where it
is loaded onto car and trammed to the
ore bins above the stamps. These ore
bins are made into compartments in
order that leasers dirt may be kept sep
crate and run through certain battery.
From the bins dirt passes into automatic
feeders which feed the stamps.
Upon leaving the stamps the ore pas
ses over the plates and then over Gilpin
county humping tables, there being one
table for each fivs stamps. The water
and refuse then passes over Standard
and a Gard concentrating tables before
leaving the mill.
Everything in connection with the
mill is running smoothly and the Stand
ard table, which is late improvement,
is giving especial satisfaction. Mr.. John
son an old time mill man who for many
years had charge of the Penn and the
Cashier mills in Black Hawk. is the mill
man here. Water for the stamps is se-
cured by means OF pipe lain up Eureka
gulch hume Just below the McFarlane
foundry, where dam has been mnde
and from where the water supply is Sc
cured. A system of storage and settling
tanks at the mine and mill allow the
keeping OF plenty of water on hand to
to run for month should something
happen to fhe pipe line. Power to run
the mill is secured from. the boiler room
of the mine, and large engine has been
placed between the two sections of the
stamps.

CheerfuIness

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is bet.
ter than medicine.
Learn how to tell a story. A well. told
story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a
sick room.
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. The world is too busy to care
for your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. Ifyou cannot
see any good in the world, keep the bad
to yourself.
Learn to hide your aches and pains
under pleasant smiles. No one cares to
hear whether you have the earach, head.
ache or rheumatism.
Learn to hold your temper. II you
are in the right you can afford to hold it.
II you are in the rong you cannot afford
to loose it,
Learn to meet your friends with q
smile. A good humored man or woman
is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or
hypoohondriac is not wanted anywhere,
aud is nuisance as well.
Above all, give pleasure. Lose no
chance OF giving pleasure. You will pass
through the world but once. Any good
thing, therefore, that you can do, or any
kindness that you can show any human
being, you had better do 1t now; do not
defer or neglect it, for you will not pass
this way again.

ISLAND ADVERTISING.

The Advertiser learns that the eX-
hibit to be made at st. Louis by the
United States Government of Hawai-
ian products will be extensive and
complete. In that event-the facts be-
ing foreshadowed in the official letter
to Jared Smith already printed in these
columns-it is the duty of the Terri
torial authorities TO see that the exhibit
shall not be duplicated at the expense
of other and more approved methods of
Territorial advertising. If the United
States stands ready TO pay for such an
exhibit at ST. Louis as we ourselves
would be likely TO make, then 1t would
be good business proposition to put
our publicity fund into something else,
Incidentally we could pay for literature
for the Federal caretakers to distrib-
ute, though 1t must be confessed that
literature does not go far at Worlds
Fairs. People do not visit them to
read but TO see the sights and they
object, especially in warm weather, to
burden themselves with books or PAM
phlets.
What Hawaii ought to do with her
publicity money is to come to an agree
ment about low rates to these islands
by rail and water, on the basis of sup
plying railroads and steamship lines
with advertising in return for fare
concessions. In other words TO say to
the transportation companies: IF you
will distribute the folders we give you.
and let us advertise your facilities for
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1903-05-08

a, bringing people here, we will see that
you get enough new business to war
rant you in granting low excursion
rates. We pay for the literature, en-
ploy agents and provide the attrac-
tons; you distribute the literature and
bring the people,"
There are more methods of throwing
away money in public advertising than
there are Of retrieving it. One is by
the publication of books which nobody
reads. Probably twenty, possibly forty
books about Hawaii have been issued
and a great many are to be found to-
day in the market and in public and
private libraries. The good they do, in
stimulating tourist trade, is limited in
proportion to their length and ex-
haustiveness. Twenty pages of sue
clint narrative with ten pictures to il
lustrate them will answer all the ques-
tions tourists and home-seekers ask.
The rush to Jamaica, Palm Beach and
Coronado is largely due to such folders
and to magazine advertisements; very
little indeed to ponderous tones, below
ed possibly of bookmen, but of small
interest to hurrying throngs of tourists.
AS for Southern California, descriptive

its development and intelligent work
through the railroads very much in
deed.
This matter of public advertising is
particular business. II Is always sub
ject to CRAFTS and fakes. Upon the
money raised for it many Adventures
will try to prey. Considerable has been
lost by false moves already The safe
procedure is that which experience has
approved elsewhere; and those who are
to have the money in hand, instead of
trying rash experiments, ought not to
make n move before they consult the
managers of the railroads and steam
ship companies centering at San Fran
cisco.

LEGISLATIVE INDlSCRETION.

The lower house of the Legislature
Wednesday gave itself over to an eX-
hibition of pettishness which is seldom
equalled, and as one of the results it
may be expected that there will be no
oNermastering anxiety on the part of
capitalists, to secure bonds of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii. 1t has been recognize
ed, even by the Home Rule Legisla-
tufe, that the bounty voted to the
Oahu Railway and Land Company
years ago. under which franchise the
road was constructed, constituted the
consideration in contract which has
become binding upon the parties
equally.
The amount now due was placed In
the appropriation bill by the Finance
Committee in accordance with recom-
mendations, and in recognition of that
first business principle, that contracts
must be kept If there is to be a high
standard of credit maintained. 1t was
reached in the House on the second
reading of the bill providing for cur
rent accounts. The clerk had not fin
ished reading before, with a rush,
there We're a half dozen motions to cut
out the item, and without word of
debate the motion prevailed, the men
who voted for it laughing as though
they had done something for which flu
ture generations would arise and bless
their memory.
1t is impossible to predict exactly
the effects of this move, but 1t would
be more deeply deplorable than II is.
II it was not perfectly certain that the
same men will later take up the tactics
OF the King of France, and march down
the hill once more. 1t would be a seri-
GUS handicap with which to go into the
money markets OF the United States
to sell bonds, already authorized to the
amount of 100000, the record that
the Legislature had repudiated a debt
incurred by the representatives OF the
people, and recognized by preceding
legislative bodies.
Quite In line with this was the care
with which the members cut out of the
bill small items for Honolulu. and es-
pecially for the convenience of the De-
partment of Public Works. Not only
the other island members but as well
a faction OF the Oahu men seemed to

PUBLIC SALARIES.

1t is a rather difficult thing to say
whether it would be wise or otherwise
to reduce Territorial salaries, meaning
in particular those of department
chiefs. High salaries are supposed to
attract good men; low salaries to repel
them. Exceptions to the rule are where
able men are willing to work for any
salary for the sake of the prominence
which they could use as a stepping
stone to something better. Take the
$4,000 salary provided for judge of the
Circuit Court, for example. That insig-
nifcant sum keeps the Nestors of the
bar-the men whose age, temperament,
learning and experience fit them espe-
cally for the woolSack-off the bench,
and leaves the positions to young law
yerS who want them for prestige in fu-
ture practice or to politicians who can
make the power of the court subserve
their political ends. Probably the gen.
eral average of justice would be higher
in any community If lawyers long in
practice came to the judgeships here as
they do in England, by promotion. 1t
must be confessed, however, that the
attraction of high salaries Is not felt by
good men alone; that bad men have
been known to take an interest in them.
When it comes to getting there in
politics, the dark horse sometimes beats
the white favorite; and it is not pleas
ant to award great prize, which had
been reserved for the favorite, to a sus
pected stranger. Perhaps the wisest
way in the matter of salaries would be
to regulate them by the prevailing rate
of recompense for the same kind of la
Dor in private life.

EXPERT NAVAL GUNNERY.

1t Is pleasant to know that the Navy
is paying closer attention to gunnery
and that good scores are being made
Some years ago the gun and not the
gunner was the desderatum. Given a
| fine weapon on a sound platform and
anybody could do the rest. On that ac-
count the American craftsmanship at
Manila and Santiago bays was, con-
trary to the general impression, very
bad indeed. At Santiago out of every
hundred shots fired at the fleeing Span
ish ships, but four struck the mark i;
and although the showing at Manila
was better, it was not satisfactory to
Admiral Dewey. Too much ammuni-
ton was used up to bring given re-
suits.
1t is now dawning upon the Navy that
| craftsmanship is as good a thing for
the fighting man afioat as it is for the
fighting man ashore. Once the soldier
did not know it's value any better than
the sailor. The old way was to fire VOL
leys. not to take beads" Braddock
in the Pennsylvania woods fired by
platoons upon Indians who We're select
ing individual marks. At New Orleans,
Pakenham did the same; but Jackson's
and killed and wounded 1900 of the en-
envy, thus winning the battle. On the
sea the volley was repeated by the
broadside. Long ago the United States
army put its faith in the individual
marksman; and now the Navy Is be-
ginning to rest its confidence on the in
dividual gunner.
By steady practice at maneuvers I'M
usual scores have been made. On the
Illinois, firing at a stationary target
while the vessel was moving, a score of
twelve hits out of thirteen shots was
made with thirteen-inch guns at dis
lance of five miles. The gunners of the
Iowa steaming at twelve knots past
stationary target, made thirty hits out
OF thirty shots with siX-pounder rapid
fire guns. This feat was accomplished
by three gun crews, each having ten
shots. 1t beats all records. At San
Francisco, lately. the submarine Gram
pus discharged torpedo at range of
$50 yards and struck stationary target
squarely in the center. Admiral Glass's
fleet, just returned from target practice
at Magdalena bay, reports marked
increase in the proficiency of gunners.
This is the kind of thing that Is going
to tell in our next naval war-an event
which may not be very far off. If
America gets the best Eunners in the
world she can meet a much larger fleet
than her own. Not relative tonnage
atioat, but the percentage of shots that
do execution will turn the scale of
battle.
