The New st. Peters.
burg Mammoth

Frequent reference has been made in
Forest and Stream to the carcass Of
the mammoth discovered in Siberia
some years ago. and from time to
time we have noted the progress Of the
expedition, organized by the st. Pet
ersburg Imperial Academy and led by
DR.. Otto Herr. which set out for the
scene of the discovery with the pur-
pose Of securing the carcass and trans
porting it to st. Petersburg
1t will be remembered that the man,
moth was found on the banks Of the
River Beresowka. tributary Of the
Kolyma, in the Province Of Yakutsk.
after a landslide, which entirely ex-
posed the great head. soon after its
discovery the inhabitants Of the vii
lage near by took away one Of the
tusks, while foxes, dogs ana other car
nivorous animals gnawed away the
flesh. AS soon as the Governor of the
province learned that the carcass had
been found. he protected it until the
arrival Of the st. Petersburg expedi-
ton. The carcass was partly buried
in ice and partly N sand and gravel.
and was so covered with earth that
it did not thaw at all.
DR.. Herr began his excavations from
the front. and found the fore legs wide
ly spread and bent at the wrist. and
the hind legs turned forward under
the body. The mouth was filled with
grass. and the we'll preserved tongue
was hanging out Of the mouth. The
chest cavity Of the animal was full Of
clotted blood. and it has been conclud-
ed that the animal fell into hole. and.
while striving to escape burst blood
vessel near the heart. 1t has been as
certained that the ice surrounding the
carcass was not of a river or lake. but
was formed from compacted snow.

$3.50 statute miles in two hours for
ty-one minutes thirty eight seconds,
which is a little better than twelve
miles an hour Many experiments
were made with the motor, and its
power gradually improved, so that in
subsequent races the Rollo showed a
speed Of fourteen miles an hour and
then speed of 1867 miles an hour.
In long distance trial the Rollo ran
200 miles at an average Of thirteen
miles an hour, and once in speed tri-
al over a measured mile on tie Seine.
with the tide in her favor, she slipped
along at the rate Of twenty five miles
an hour. This is remarkable per-
formance for a boa Of the size Of the
Rollo and having such small powered
motor. This boat has caused many
others to be built, and they have been
so successful that next season they
will be seen in these waters.
In England Alfred Harmsworth, who

ly offered a cup for international races
with power boats. It was the inten-
ton of two Americans to send boats
across the ocean to try to capture the
trophy, but they could not be got ready
in time, so the idea was postponed for
a year; but when the races are held
next season this country will be rep
resented. Three boats raced for the
cup, and the winner was the Napier,

So far there have been no boats that
have done as we'll in these waters as
the Napier and Rollo.
Mr.. Charles Z. Flint's instructions
to his yacht builder were terse and to
the point. when the man came pre-
pared with plans and specifications,
Mr. Flint waved them aside.
Il want the fastest boat afoat," he
said. II do not care how you build 1t
or what it will cost. Build me craft
that will break the speed record"
When the Arrow was delivered to
Mr.. Flint a number Of months later,
the magnate took her out for a trial
trip overn measured mile course. The
1.-the, slim. low-lying craft with its
raking, squat funnel and sharp bow
darted through the water like a grey
hound. She seemed fairly to leap from
one wave crest to another. The tor
pedo boat stern was smothered In
foam, and against the knife-like edge
Of the bow curled an enormous "bone"

recently that they have become popu-
lar here.
The fastest Of these boats. so far as
the records show, is the Rollo, owned
by NJ. Giraud. 1t was built by a firm
that has become famous for. turning
out fast automobiles. The motor is of
tWenty-four horsepower, just as is
used in road machines, but with GER
tain notifications that adapt it to
driving boat. The canoe into which
the motor was put is thirty-nine feet
three inches in length and four feet
three inches BEAM In model the boat
Is almost wedge shaped, the entrance
being fine. the run almost straight,
and aft the hull is fiat on the bottom
to prevent squatting. when running
fast. The hull is constructed very
lightly and the deck is Of the thinnest
material.
The Helios Club is the leading or
ganization for the sport in France, and
when NJ. ,Giraud had finished his boat
he applied to that club to manage a
series of trials. The first trial was at
Argenteuil, and several boats Of high
speed were entered against the new

made 1890 statute miles in one hour

The hull Of the Napier is built Of steel.
1he frames and floors are Of light an

There is no deck to the craft. but
merely a covering Of canvas stretched
tightly over the hull. The beam is
five feet moulded, and the draught
two feet. The total displacement is
5000 pounds.
The course over which these boats

arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles, and sometimes groups of four
to ten were discharged at once, the
bomb recoiling as the projectiles left it.
DR.. Wiley suggests that the intense
burning and pricking sensation ex-
perienced in chewing such plants as
those described are due to the release
and discharge OF these crystal arrows
when the plant tissues are crushed in
the mouth.

REGARDING THE BOND ISSUE.

The time ensuing between now and the day the property tax payers will vote on the question of issuing s20.000 worth of bonds is short. April 18th is the day set for the electioH by the common council of Bisbee Never in the history of Bisbee was a more i'm portant question presented for the hon est and fair decision of the people of this community but strange to relate public interest seems entirely lacking. Wherefore this seeming disregard for matters of public interest and benefit the Review is unable to answer.
 Nevertheless the question of bond issue for the betterment of the fire protection for this city is to be decid ed pro or con on the 18th inst and af ter tue ballots are counted the voters of Bisbee will have decided in favor of better fire protection or against it.
 / The council has yielded to the popu- lar demand and map has been pre- pared showing the location of fire hy- drants in east section of the city. This was done to enable the property holder to vote inteiligentIy and by this map it is clearly shogn that under the proposed new system hundreds of houses that now are absolutely at the mercy Of the flames, will be protected. Business men who today are carrying i thousands of dollars worth of mer- chandise without a dollars worh of insurance, will through the means of better fire protection be able 10 insure their holdings al a reasonable rate of insurance, As soon as it becomes known in the insurance circles tha. Bisbee has put in a water system, with sufficient supply and pressure to afford protection, just so soon will the pres ent exorbitant insurance rates disap- pear. h some instances merchants , os n'oN'o --c 2. t-- z- M 1> - i.s- cent insurance rates, and in some localities 10 insurance can be obtained at even that price With better fire protection, under the system proposed by the council, which has been ar. ranged iD accordance with suggestions from insurance companies, these high rates will quickly disappear.

A candidate for alderman in one of the swell social wards of Chicago has hit upon a novel plan for winning votes from the silk stockings. As few of the voters in the ward can be prevailed upon to attend a public meeting for fear of brushing against the common herd of the ingenious candidate has enlisted the assistance of a number of the ladies of the ward who are leaders in the so-called smart set. They are giving receptions at their houses in honor of the candidate who is thus given an opportunity to meet the vo- ters who are too high toned to attend public meeting. The receptions are popular. as they are given by the smartest of the smart set, hence the candidate has little difficulty in meet ing the voters, who shun public meet ing. This sort of campaign may do in Chicago, but out this way We prefer the good old-fashioned method where rich and poor bump up against one an , other, forgetting their stations in life 1 in a desire to hear what the candidate has to say.

ENORMOUS EXPENSE OF GOVERNMENT

It has only been few years since We first heard of the billion dollar congress" and it will only be few more years until a single ongress will hand over two billions of dollars to meet the expenses of the government. When the billion dollar mark was reached the late Thos. B. Reed re- marked that We had a billion dollar country" The spirit of economy seems to be at low ebb these days in the halls of congress and money is shoveIed from the treasury with but little regard for what purpose it is wanted or as to what would be a nee essary amount.
 The congress which expired on March 4, passed the billion and half mark, the appropriations for the two sessions aggregating s1.554 ,10s, 154. The total appropriations for the Fifty sixth congress were s1, 40. .is9 ,43s; or $l13,6l9,076 less than the appropria- tions of the congress which has just adjourned.

ARlzoNA's LEADING INDUSTRY


 The mining industry of Arizona is it's principal support now, as it always has been, and in the southern portions of the territVy this industry is becom- ing more active with the present ad- vance in the price of copper, which is the predomirating metal, supporting the great camps of Bisbee, Clifton and Morenci. All these camps have made rapid advancement during the past year. At Clifton and Morenci the Arizona Copper company at the former and the Detroit Copper company at the latter point have increased their copper output by adding machinery for handling and reducing the ore. At Clifton the shannon Copper company resumed the production Of copper this week, having just completed "a 3o1-ton concentrating mill, which is now in op- eration in connection with their 250- ton smelter.
 In the Clifton district there are sev- eral other companies engaged in the development of important copper prop critics. The New England Copper company and the Clifton Consolidated are both working from seyenty-fve to 100 men each with modern machinery for development, including steam hoists and diamond drills. The Coro- nado Mining company is another i'm portant concern working a group of twenty-one claims.
 Two years ago some mining men from Calumet, Michigan, bought some copper properties adjoining those owned by the Copper Queen. Men were put to work to develop the mines and the Calumet & Arizona Mining company was organized. The erec- ton of smelting plant at Douglas was begun without de'ay and was blown in last fall with one 250-ton smelling fur nace Another furnace Of the same size is now about ready for operation. The stock of the Calumet & Arizona was placed at the par value of sl0 and the first of the stock was sold at $500. Since the company started the Doug las smelter it has produced an average of twenty-five tons of copper per day This company has been a wonderful success from the start and its stock has steadily advanced until now it is quoted at s2G0 per share.
 This has attracted a large number of Michigan mining men to this dis trict and there are now half dozen companies operating in the district, promoted and backed by Michigan mining men. These are the Calumet and Bisbee, the Calumet and Pitts burg. Duluth and Pittsburg and others ? The fact that so much Calumet money has been invested Tn the Risbee dis trist has attracted capital from other eastern points. The Michigan men have q reputation of being miners and their rush for Arizona has resulted in adver- Using the mineral industry Of the ter rftory.

to swim to Hart's island. They had
gone few hundred feet when Solomon
was seized with cramp. His brother
went to his rescue. and the two went
under. Frederick Buckle went to their
assistance. AS they came to the sur
face he leaned over to catch them, and
Solomon threw his arms about Buckles
neck, upsetting the boat Lane a the
first sign of trouble had swan out 10
the men. He pulled Solomon from Bnc-
