THE SCIENCE OF SIMPLIFYING.

The science of smelting is chiefly the art Of forming fluid, free-fiowing slag and the practicability of forming such slag from any given ores is accurately determined by Q quantitative chemical analysis of the constituents of such ores. The manner of mixing ores for the furnace charge, by so proportion ing them according to physical condi- tions and chemical analysis of constit- uents as that when smeited down they shall form such fluid slag. is definite ly and clearly understood by compet- ent metallurgists. and there is no un- certainty as to the results when ores fuel and fixtures are properly propoT tioned, and the furnace built of suit able material properly propcruOned as to its cariOus parts. properly charged and properly blown. There is no con- tingent uncertainty, no glamour of mystery involving the prcCess, but all works out and results in a saving of vaIues according to previous calcula tion of the competent metallurgist. when conditions as above named have been ccm-.iied with and the smelling furnace is managed by competent superintendent.

THE sLIMEs PROBLEM.

The shines problem is one of the vexed questions that are confronting mining men in various parts of the country. There is hardly a gold min ing state that cannot cite several in stances where the mine owners are be- ing troubled on account of shines. Many processes to overcome the diff culty have been tried, but none have given entire satisfaction. Therefore, mining men throughout the country are manifesting a great deal of inter est in the trials being made at the Con- Mercur mill with the new Moose process. This method seems to be all that is required. and if it is as sue cessful in regular operation as it has been in the trial tests it will result in an enormous saving of gold to all com panies whose ores contain similar shines. It is estimated that the saw ing at the Con. Mercnr alone will be from S1O.O00 to s15.0OO per month, ac- cording to the amount of ore handled. This is an important item and can not but help to attract the attention of the mining world to the process mak- ing such large saving possible.

AUSTRALIA AS A COPPER PRO-
 DUcER.

West Australia promises to .:acCme iii the near future a great producer of copper. says q correspondent of the Investor. Many payable deposits ale known to exist an the no invest f;elds. bu until a railroad 10 the E'I1lrrl f:el,ds is constructed expenses of trans ortation are too heavy. though many leases are being taken up with view ot securing same hefo:e inc G.,miHg lush. as the railway NIu undoubtedly Ie made soon. Nearer to the east, and situated close to the Midland Rail way. are some very extensive deposits. which are now being taken in hand by a powerful syndicate connected with the Mount Lyen mines of Tasmania. The copper is in the form of carbon ates, and can be easily treated by lix- iviation. The formation is traced by prospecting shafts for half a mile, and is about 300 feet wide. and is esti- mated to average seven per cent. cop per. Fifty thousand pounds worth of ore is in sight. The Phillips River cop per and gold fields are also very prom ising. but at present are a little diff cult of access, situated on the extreme southern coast, and for from any means of cheap transportation. A good deal of ore of the richer kind has been shipped to Luetters in South Aus tralia from here, but pending the erection of local smelters, the govern ment is arranging to assist the owners of leases by purchasing ores on the spot at a valuation.

MERCHANTS MINING COMPANY
A Prescott Enterprise With Promis-
 ing Future.

The stockholders of the Merchants Mining company held their annual meeting on Tuesday. at the office of the company in Prescott. The Journal Miner reports that great interest was manifested in the meeting. as was shown by the large amount of stock holders present, in person, in addition to the stock which was represented by proxy. One Chicago man, who is a large stockholder. came here for the purpose of attending the meeting, and with the stock owned by himself and the proxies which had been given him by other stockholders he voted 5S0O0 shares at the meeting. Everything passed of very harmoniouslyly and the shareholders expressed themselves us pleased with the result of opera tions during the past year and with the present favorable condition of the mine. The actions of the officers for the past year were unanimously rati- fled. and endorsed, which was a high compliment to their efficiency and to the confidence reposed in them by the stockholders.
 B. H. Gray. foreman of the mine as well as a director of the company, was present at the meeting and had sack full of ore to show the stockholders. This was taken from the drift in the fourth level of the mine. the deepest workings at present. The ore body is quite strong at this point. and the ore of a good milling quality and it was highly gratifying to all the stockhold- CTS present to witness this evidence of the continuation of the ore bodies at depth. and the possibilities of it for the future which is most promising and work will be continued on the property with renewed vigor.
 Directors elected at the meeting were: Morris Goldwater, Ray Hill, F. L. Wright. Max. Salzman. Sig. Simon, E. Block and B. H. Gray. At the conclusion of business of the stockholders meeting the newly elected board of directors held a meeting and elected the following officers: Presi- dent. E. Block; vice president. Morris Goldwater: treasurer. E. Block; secre- tary, F. B. Modem.
 In discussing the condition of the property owned by the company, the individual opinion of the directors and shareholders generally, seemed to be that the erection of a mill at the mine to treat the ore would become an absolute necessity at no very re- mote date in the future. although no official action was taken in the mat ter.

They Had to Wait.

MT. Thomas. of Hermis fame, is tell ing his friends about two green youths of his acquaintance, who, having hired horse and trap for a days outing, found themselves at the close of the expedition confronted with the bewild- ering problem of reharnessing the ani- mal. The bit proved their chief diffi- culty, for the horse made no response whatever to their overtures.
 Well, there is nothing for it but to wait said one.
 Wait for what?" grumbled the other.
 For the horse to yawn,' replied his companion.-New York Times.

How Carnegie catche. Suckers.

Mr. Andrew Carnegie is a sort of
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde man on the
tariff question. In this country he is
a high prOtectionist and has probably
made over $3OO,0OO,O00 out of tariff
duties on iron and steel. In fact, he
probably has more tariff profits in his
breeches or banks than any other man.
He has shown his appreciation OF our
tariff generosity by giving nearly
500, 100000 of his protected profits
back to us in library buildings, etc, or
perhaps the amount returned is u con
science fund" instead Of a thank you
But, strange to say, Mr.. Carnegie,
who also resides in England, is op-
posed to protection for that country
He is solemnly warning England
against the dangers of protection.
Just what Mr.. Carnegie has in mind
is hard to say. In fact, 1t is difficult
to follow the meanderings of a pro-
tectionist's ideas, or rather assertions,
for 1t is by no means certain that they
always speak their minds. Possibly If
Mr.. Carnegie would disclose all that
is back Of his assertions he would say
substantially:

is, the steel mills which l built and
which. though sold, may return to me

adds about $75O00,OO0 a year to the
profits of these steel mills because II
enables them to sell at much higher
prices in America than In foreign coun
tries. 1 am a free trader in the Other
countries because 1 want to keep as
many foreign markets as possible oper

Odnrn of FIoMcrn.

1t is a remarkable fact that although
there are nearly or quite 100000 flow
ering plants known the relative num-
Der having odor is wonderfully small,
not more than 10 per cent. in fact In
connection with this it is noteworthy
that because one species of flower is
endowed with sweet odor ii does not
necessarily follow that all or nearly
all or even n fair proportion of the
other species of the same family will
be as favorably endowed. An illustra-
ton of this is found in the familiar
mignonette. There are some fifty spe-
cies of this genus known, and of them
all, but one has any fragrance. Nor IS
1t certain that the most insignificant
looking flower has the greatest fra

and fragrance are given flowers for
the purpose of attracting insects TO
assist in cross fertilization.

A PIscntorInI Gunner.

The jaculator fish, the piscatOrial
gunner of the Javan lakes, uses his
mouth as Il squirt gun and is a marks
man of no mean ability. Go to Il small
lake or pond filled with specimens of
jaculators. place n stake or pole in the
water with the end projecting from one
to three feet above the surface. place
a beetle or fly on top of the pole and
await developments. Soon the water
will be swarming with tnny Sunners,
each anxious for shot at the tender
morsel which the eXperimenter has
placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distance.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable, discharges
a stream OF water with precision equal
to any sharpshooter, knocks the fly or
beetle into the water, where he is in
stantly devoured by the successful
Nimrod or some of his hungry horde.
This sport may be kept up as long as
the supply of beetles and tlies holds
out.

Honesty in Government a Political
Issue,

Doodle has turned up in Wisconsin
as the political issue.
Gov. La Toilette. who is seeking re-
nomination for the third time, is bit
terly opposed by the corporation ele-

to enact legislation to tax railroads
and other progressive measures was
defeated by the railroad lobby i'm
1901.
That morey was used no one who
watched the session can doubt" says
the governor. THAT money was of
fered and refused is susceptible of
proof"
The movement begun in st. Louis
eighteen months ago promises to
sweep the country, says the Post
Dispatch. The issue of honesty IN gov
eminent is not made by any man or
party casting about hopelessly for n
Morgan good enough for their cam
paign. 1t is a birth of the time and the
politicians will have to face it.

ginning of the Christian era. This
class of heaters was fixed and immova-
BILE, besides being in several other re-
spects wholly different from the mod
ern stove. In Germany and Scandina-
via they were used in bath rooms and
hothouses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed of
brick, stone or tile and were of i'm
mense size. They sometimes covered
the whole side of n twenty or thirty
foot room and often extended out into
the room as much as ten feet, in which
case the smooth, fiat top was used for
bedstead, the heated surface impart-
ing an agreeable feeling of warmth
during those cold nights of long ago
when such things as covers were quite
rare.
Cardinal Polignac of France was per-
haps the first to attempt the construc-
ton of stove wholly of iron, this at
about the beginning of the eighteenth
century. The first real improvement
over the old Roman 'stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the year
1745. One of his efforts produced a
typical base burner. almost perfect and
n model of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior TO the year 1890.
