OZONE FOR THE LAUNDRY.

Element Of the Atmosphere that Has
Proven a Valuable Disinfectant.
As every one knows, ozone Is an In
dispensable part Of the atmosphere we
breathe. 1t has recently been found
to be of great value as disinfectant
In some laundries Of Paris. 1t has
been introduced under the auspices Of
the city government. A location in the
st. HonOre market was given for tue
purpose and the entire plant will revert
to the corporation at the expiration Of
twenty-five years, during which period
the entire works are to be open to in
spection by delegates and students Of
hygienic methods of laundering. The
ozone in this institution Is used for the
purpose Of dsinfecting the bundles of
clothing Immediately upon their arrival
at the laundry.
The method Is such that articles
pass rapidly through the various proc
esses from the first reception to the
final delivery. The electric current
destined for lighting the establishment
and for the "ozoners," which are actu-
ated by eight motors, is developed by
two vertical engines of fifty -fve-horse
power each, coupled directly to two
dynamos of thirty seven kilowatts
each, total of seventy-four kilowatts.
The "ozoners" are located in q special
room expressly guarded against posi-
BILE intrusion, because of the danger
from the high potentials utilized for
the work.
A package of soiled apparel on arriv-
ing is at once marked with designat-
ing tag which remains attached
through the various processes up to de-
livery. The first move after tagging

When child had a very severe at

neck were very much enlarged, and after
the free use of iodine, the right one was
reduced to its normal size, but the left

MINES AND MINING NEWS

DURING THE PAST WEEK..
Mine Owners Pushing Work on Their
Properties In Idaho, Montana and
oregon-Mine Operations of British
Columbia Are Rather Quet-Many
Accidents and Personal Events.

According to the estimate of the
director of the mint, the maximum gold
production of the state of Washington
occurred in 1898, when the total val
ue of all gold produced amounted to
$766,200. The decline since that time
has not been regular, though in 1902
there was a great drop to practically
the same figure now reported for the
calendar year 1903 The preliminary
report of Director Roberts does not
assign cause for the great falling off
in the gold production of Washington,
though some explanation may be made
when the final report on the gold pro-
ductiOn of the United States is pre-
pared While many of the leading gold
producing states show a falling off in
gold yield, Alaska breaks her record
of 1903 with an aggregate output of
$S.614 200. The nearest approach to
this was in 1902, when the product
was $8,345, 600. Alaska is now the
third gold producing region in the
United States, Colorado holding first
place, with a product of $22,540, 800;
California second, with $16,104, 800, and
South Dakota fourth, with a product
amounting to $6,S26,700 last year.
Washington is not among the leading
gold producing states, nor does it rank
high among the silver producers.

CHAPTER ".
Odd Companions.

After releasing the old man and the
child from their ENHANCEMENT they
were carried to the nearest fisherman's
cabin. The man, though dashed to the
spar and pinioned to the earth by the
driftwood was held no closer than was
the babe. His arms held it like a
wise. They had been so long about it
that they had formed like clasps
around the body and, benumbed by
the cold, they were as difficult to pry
apart as are the cleepers which hold a
vine in its upward climb.
Young as it was, only a few weeks
old, the infant possess more vitality
than did its aged protector. 1t
stretched forth its little hands and legs
with surprising strength and cried pitt
fully, though in a voice that showed
that its lungs were still strong and
healthy.
But the old nan scarcely breathed.
He opened his dull eyes for a moment
and stared blankly into the faces of
those directly in the line of his Wis
ion, and then closed them. He was
unconscious of all that was going on
about him. His long gray hair hung
in strands about his face and neck
His silken gray beard was matted with
the sand and trash of the beach. But
for the slow pulsation of his heart he
would have been pronounced dead by
those around HIM.
The women were running about as
busy as only women can be when they
are doing some great act of charity,
and their devotion was increased by
the tact that some dead mothers chi d
had fallen into their hands, and each
felt a double responsibility on this &C.
count.
Some were bringing dry clothing
from the wardrobe of their own chill
dren, others were warming cows milk
in small basin on the stove, white a
more thoughtful mother was sharing
the breast of her own babe with the
little waif. And those good women
smiled with tears in their eyes as the
little stranger tugged greedily at its

The Other Fellows Job.

There's craze among us, mortals that Is
cruel hard to name,
Wheresoe'er you find a human you will
find the case the same;
You may seek among the worst of men or
seek among the best,
And you'll find that every person is pre-
cisely like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling Is
along some other line
Than the one at which he's working
take, for instance, yours and mine.
From the meanest "me-too" creature to
the leader of the mob,
There's a universal craving for "the 9TH
er fellows job"
There are millions of positions in the
busy world to-day,
Each drudge to him who holds it, but
to him who doesn't, play;
Every farmers broken-hearted that in
youth he missed his call,
While that same unhappy farmer is the
envy of us all.
ANY task you care TO mention seems a
vastly better lot
Than the one especial something which
you happen to have got.
There's but one sure way to smother
Enyy's heartache and her sob;
Keep too busy, at your own, to want
the other fellows job"
Success.

said the old man.
Then they all put to and gave
their energy to securing the iron chest.
The old man abandoned his lookout
and joined the boys in the work The
timbers were interlocked about it and
at the same time deeply imbedded in
the sand.
"Get the capstan lever, boys; get
the capstan. We must have her now
or it will be too latel" exclaimed the
excited old Seadog.
Some clowbars had been unearthed
from the ships tool room and with the
addition of the capstan lever they set
to work with renewed vigol.
"Pry down to the left, boys, pry
down to the left" shouted the father.
Already the exhaust of the govern
ment launch could be heard as it slowed
up to weigh anchor at safe distance
from the sandbar.
1t would only require the lowering
Of a boat and a few strokes of the oars
to land the officers upon the fishermen.
Fortune had always favored old Sea-
dog and it favored him again. With a
heavy lurch they brought the chest
from under the timbers that held il
down.
Fortune doubly favored him. When
the iron receptacle had been turned
round it was found that the keys still
remained in the lock. The captain
had possibly attempted to open it at
the last moment and had been driven
out by the waves.

| will do the rest!" commanded the
stern old parent The boys were
barely in time. They were confronted
by the officers Immediately upon climb
ing to the deck.
''In the name of the government,
men, we proclaim you our prisoners,
calmly spoke one of the officers.
The boys looked bewildered but
spoke not in the absence of their faith
er, to whom they had always looked
for advice and guidance.
But the old man was busily engaged.
With a surprising quickness he had
opened the chest and tore from it the
register roll. Then he closed the
chest, locked it and cast the keys into
the water at the lower end OF the hole.
Then he climbed out through port
hole at the rear, hurriedly secreted
the roll in the sand at safe distance
from the vessel, climbed back through
and joined his boys who were prison
ers on deck. But before he had hidden
the parchment upon which the ships
register was made he had turned
through it quickly. His eyes had
rested upon two names. This brought
from him the ejaculation;
cold Seadog rejoices at last; old
Seadog rejoices at last; old Seadog has
cause to rejoice! In the language of
the convict who swan to the Diamond
Isles. the world belongs to old Seadog

BRITISH COLUMBIA ITEMS.

Rossland.-There is a revival of the
rumors Of the amalgamation of me LIE
Roi, the War Eagle and the Center
Star, with some talk of the inclusion
of the Snow Shoe mine in Boundary,
which is controlled by A. J. Mcmillan
and George Waterlow of the lie Roi
directorate.
Professor Brock of the dominion ge-
illogical survey and Kingston School
of Mines, has been granted a three
months leave to arbitrate in the mat
ter. He will arrive here next week.
All the concentrators in Rossland
camp are preparing to resume opera
tons after the shutdown owing to the
exceptional dry spell.
Grand ForKs.-The sixth furnace at
the CRANKY smelter is blown out for
making an important change in the
way of installing an electric charge
car. BY the conveying of the ore by
this new method great many labor
ers are dispensed with.
Superintendent Weeks, in charge of
the Sullivan mine and smelter at
Marysville, East Kootenay, B. c., has
30 or so men at work, and the smelter
should be running about the first of
the year, The plant has been rebuilt
from the ground up, and there have
been delays in getting machinery. 1t
had been hoped to get the smelter
running by October /.
Mining men have been not a little
puzzled at the ore coming from the
Copper Key, on the east side of Cur
lew lake, near Republic, Wash. The
stuff comes from short tunnel and a
winze, giving a depth of 80 feet The
vein matter looks like fine gray dust,
and is pick and shovel proposition.
On panning it shows beautiful free
gold of extraordinary high grade. The
gangue is magnetic iron and lime. The
lode is so soft that much timbering is
needed. In depth there is tendency
to change into sulphide of copper and
the formation grows harder.
Vancouver, B. C.-Steam shovels are
to be introduced into the Atlin mining

derson has just returned from his an
nual trip to hold county court sessions
in that district, and brings back news
of the contemplation of the use of more
improved methods of mining "The
camp is good for many years to come,'
he said, 'and installation of up to date
machinery will bring handsome re-
turns in gold recovered.
Port Slmpson.-From a prospector's
point of view, mining on the Skeena
river in the northern part of British
Columbia holds vast possibilities. Port
Simpson is the recorders residence
and the center of this district. The
Skeena district has hardly been seen
by white mems eyes. Nevertheless,
there are a few locations here which
look exceedingly good.
