A Squad of Tobacco Users
Will Soon Start Out.
They Desire to Discover the Effects of
Various Kinds OF Tobacco on
the System.
WILL BE THE POISON EATERS

Washington, July 1.-THE famous
squad of twelve poison eaters. tina,
attained So much notoriety during the
past seven months by reason OF the ex.
periments with food adulterants which
have been in progress at the depart
ment Of sgricultures borax boarding
house, is to be succeeded by q squad
o. tobacco users" whose work. it is
believed, will attract even more atten.
tion than that of their predecessors
Prof. Wiley, the government chemist,
who had entire charge of all the ex.
periments to determine the effect of
various food preservatives and adul-
terants upon the human system, is so
much pleased with the first result Of
the first seven months of this work
that he has decided to branch out with
experiments to determine the effects
of tobacco, good, bad and Indifferent,
upon the heart, the lungs, the digest.
i've organs and the human system gen.
orally. 1t is expected that the expert
ments will not only be of the greatest
interest to smokers throughout the
country, but will prove of value to all
manufacturers and dealers in the var
ious forms of tobacco.
According to the present plans, the
tobacco squad will consist of eighteen
members, instead of the twelve en-
ployed in the food experiments, and
will be divided into three classes
smokers, chewers and suffers. For
a month before the experiments begin
the members of the squad will not be
permitted to use tobacco in any form.
This, it is explained, is to make it pos.
sible for all members to start on an
even basis and with their systems free
from any possible effects of tobacco
used before the time for the taking of
records. Then each man will be
given a certain allowance of the weed
each day, the amount being increased
Is the experiments progress. The
smokers" squad will begin its work
ON cigars, and each member of the
squad will be allowed three a day
one after breakfast, one after dinner
and one after supper. This allowance
will be increased gradually until the
members of the squad consume as
much tobacco daily as 'the most hard
ened "inveterate. Various kinds of |
tobacco, including domestic, Porto I
Rican. and Philippine, will be used to
determine the relative harmfulness of
each. When sufficient data has been
obtained with relation to cigars the
men will be provided with pipes and
smoking toba:co and more data cb-
tanned. Then the cigarette smokers
will hold sway, divided into two
squads, "inhalers' and nominal.
ers, and the result of moderate and
excessive smoking noted with particu.
lar attention.

Commissioners Sutherland stated that
he believed every commissioner was
in favor OF enforcing this law and
every ether law, but that the police

4 PNEUMATIC STAMP.

The means for pulverizing copper bearing conglomerates in the Lake Su- perior region has always been an in- tereSting matter. Various kinds of crushing devices have been tried, and the steam stamps. now in almost uni versal use there, have been evolved from the experience of the past In principle they are similar to the old time Ball stamps. the main difference being in their size and the greater force of the blows delivered. Twenty years ago Ball stamp was consider ed doing good work in crushing 125 tons daily. The Ball stamp of today crushes 800 tons or more of the same kind of rock. This is due partly to increased weight and size of the stamp head and to the larger pistons employed. and partly to different screens used. which is made possible by improved concentrating machinery. This copper district has always been a field for experimentation along prac- tical lines. and the latest innovation is the introduction of pneumatic stamp at the Mass mine in Mass City, Mich. In the operation of this stamp compressed air will take the place of steam. If the power necessary to drive the cOmpressors proves cheaper than steam, pneumatic stamps may SUI persede the old-time steam stamps Mining and Scientific Express.

LOST MINE IN CHiRIcAHUAS
4 Tende efoot Finds an Old Cave, once
 Occupied by Miners.

The sort of fiction relating to lost mines and buried treasures is fasci- natirlg. and the magazines of the day are full of them. Men have spent years in searching for antique workings with more or less success and lately the reports of the finding of ancient mines or workings has become so common, anC so many always turn out to be pure fiction or B gopher hole. that people of this country don't take much stock in these stories. The latest discov- cry of an ancient working was re- gently made IT, the Chiricahuas. There ts reason to believe that thIs story is true, as it comes from a re. liable source, and there has bene a tradition in this country for years that somewhere in the mysterious Chiricahuas there was a lost mine. short time ago a tenderfoot ar rived in the Chiricahuas country. He had map that he had obtained from an old prospector in New Mexico. This map showed the Chiricahuas country in cetail. and particularly marked an old trail. The tenGerfOot showed his map to the .ocal b3oucho busters, and they
 
 old trail, but had never followed it up The explorer was directed to the trail and he folIowet r. It was marked at frequent intervals by piles of stones. and had at some time in bygone years been a road that was carefully built He followed the trail into an almost impossible canyon Here he found a series Of caves, and indications of whar had been at one time a town.
 One of the caves was walled up with masonry. The rocks in the wall were cemented with lime and sand and had withstood the ravages of the clements for many centuries.
 In one corner of the wall there was a small hole just big enough to admit a man. The explorer crawled in and found himself in a huge cavern. The floor was strewn with decaying sksle- Ions Of human beings. with a few old implements of the stone age scattered around He found a ball CT gold and copper mixed, which shows that the inhabitants of this section were miners.
 Tn another cave the remains of ami mals were found, probably sheep.
 How these people met their end is forever a sealed book, but from inda- cations they were starding seize, and died from starvation. as the cave was arranged for a defense against in- yaders
 The discoverer of this old time bat tie ground and treasure house is still exploring the country in the neighbOr- hood and one location of new gold property may result.

FALSE ECONOMIES.

In mine management economy is al ways a praiseworthy. and usually a
 necessary. feature of the business. Some managers have a strange idea Of
 economy, However One who had the Cirecticn Of operations st a large mine where a great many men were employ ed. would grow excited when he saw
 mer. standing idly at a winf lass at
 prospect shaft waiting for miners 50 feet below 70 finish filling the bucket
 would excitedly inquire Of the super
 irtendent why they were not at work. srggesting that they "dig trenches
 or "chop wood instead of idling away
 their time Tn the mine when he saw a number of men standing or sitting
 sboU. the station. he wou'd want to know why they were not at work. It
 was explained that they had fired

LOWELL AND AROUND.

The result of the operations on the Junction are most significant The lasd diamond drill performance is al an end. It Is net known whether the company contemplates another piece Of the same kind of work or nut. The last work must have attained g depth approximating a thousand feet. possi- bly, more. All that can be ascertained Is that it encountered a large body of Iron and We have right 10 presume that it developed copper. since work on the big shaft is being pushed more vigorously than ever.
 The crill is now being installed al a lolnt several hundred feet to the southeast. The result of these opera tions will be made to the management in regard 10 the depth at which they should shift and the direction they should take to insure the speediest results. This work recalls the fact that several years ago. drilling opera tions were carried on near the pres ent site of the Pittsburg shaft. the result of which doubtless was a factor in the present plans of the company.
 The big shaft is progressing beauti- fully It is probable that the site of the shaft was selected with view to keeping in the counter" as long as possible. and the drilling is intended 10 spot the ere bodies There is degree of energy and confidence shown in these operations whicn would indicate that the company gre assured ol a dead sure thing

TIE COM ER5.' ,

The history <f the Lowell the Caiu- met & Pittsburg. and the Lake Super for & Pittsburg. demonstrate that It is no child's play to undertake the devel- opmeat of copper mine in the War Ten district.
 We have it from the best practical ar,ho-i;y that to sink a two and cne- half compartment shaft. on the most approved Glan, q thousand feet deep will cost s200.00 per foot. The great companies operating in this district know that fact better than any one else. hence the wonderful faith they display, when they start down with a .cur compartmeD. shaft. knowing that they are apt 10 encounter water at about 300 feet which will double their expenses It Is a wonderful testimon- ial to their confidence in the outcome.

THE GREATEST GOLD-PROOuC-
 ING MINES

G H CurIe in London EcOnomist.)
 The biggest golo-producing mine in the world is at Homestake. in South Dakota. It is one of .he poorest. rel ative'y. as the ore only yields about s3.60 a tJn; but as against this the costs are only $40 2, ton. At pres ent the quantity of ore treated year is over 100000 tons, that is with 900 stamps. but 200 mere are going to bo. added The output from Homestake now is over z0O00 cz. fine gold month, but in a year Gr two it should be a good deal more. About three miles from Homestake is a mine call ed Golden Reward which also is en- tirely owned by Americans. This mine is now producing not much more than s100.00 a month, but in a year or two I expect this will be greatly in creased. If the figures shown me at this mine were correct. it has the po- tentalities of another Homestake
 There are a number of mines which earn better profits than Homestake. but none which approach it in size. The next largest Is the Alaska Tread

Recent references made in the Standard to the possibilities ahead oi crude oil in the mining camps of Ari- zona ana thep reliability of oil bodies in this section have aroused much local interest and brought back to life enthusiasm that some time ago was felt in immediate territory over oll showings that are to be easily found with a short distance.
 Reference made by the Standard 70 the statement of President Murphy of the $. F. p. & P, while on his recent visit here. about the purpose of t-e interests he represents to ascertain the location of the main body of coal above the Morenci-Clifton country be- fore building important lines proposed, has likewise brought coal prospecto-s to the front. An expedition booked fer up the Blue IS now getting in reaGi- ness. Large bodies of coal have long been known to exist in that country.
 In both the matter of oil and coal the Standard is convinced there is abndant ground for confident Dros- pecting in this section. Less than ten mi es from Morenci excellent oil for nations exists.

IL begins 10 look now as if the Bisbee West could sup ply two water systems instead of one. This result must certainly have been expected. and it is not clear why the company did not prepare for such a contingency when they began their new shaft Foreman Smith has just about been able to hold the water al bay with his bailers and may be able to do so until pumps can be installed 1t takes a stiff company to hancle the water problem in this camp. Toward the last, it cost the Pittsburg s2OO day for fuel alone.
