Reed Smoot of Utah, whose seat in the
United States senate is now being con-
tested, or rather his fitness for the posi-
tion, is being investigated by commit
tee of his brother senators in Washing
ton. Smoot, who is one of the IL apos-
ties in the Mormon church, was duly
elected to represent the State Of Utah in
the senate. He is described as being a
very intelligent cultivated gentleman,
and has but one wife. But the churches
all over the land have raised the hue
and cry that he belongs to sect whose
prominent dignitaries still believe in
and openly practice poligamy. There
seems 10 be no doubt Of this as the pres
ent President Of the church, Joseph F.
Smith. who now holds the seat once oc.
cupied by the renowned Brigham Young,
has boldly made the statement on the
witness stand, that he has FIVE wives.
He further says that he will not desert
them, and will not disgrace himself
and degrade them by refusing to recog.
nize them, and acknowledging them ae
members of his family. But Mr.. Smith
is not on trial. Utah is entitled to a
senator, and must be represented. 1t ID
interesting to see what they are going
to do about It.

The Progress of the War.

The advices from the far east state
that the Japs have landed troops at Pas
siet harbor for the purpose of attacking
Vladivostok on the land side, and fur
ther reports from the expedition are
daily expected. The Japanese feet at
tackled Vladivostok and sent 200 shells
into the fort but the extent of the dam
age could not be ascertained. The Rus.
slams replied from the shore batteries
but seeing that their shots fell short Of
reaching the Japanese feet they ceased
firing. This was proof to the Japanese
that they have no big guns at Vladivos-
| tok. The Japanese squadron was seen
outside the harbor Of Port Arthur on Fri
day and it is thought another attack on
the fortress will soon be made.
1t is reported that the Japs up to date
have captured and destroyed thirteen of
the Russian warships. 1t is further re-
ported that the Japs feet which was di-
vided had caught the Russian feet be-
tween them in the Japan sea and had
sunk them. The casualties however
were not reported, and the news is not
confirmed. The dispatches also an
nounce that there has been battle near
the northern part of Korea, in which the
Japanese were victorious. Loss in killed
on both sides numbered seventy. The
Russians are still very strict in their
censorship and it is hard to get news
from that side, except as it is issued
from st. Petersburg. The Japs have re-
moved the censorship, and the war cor
respondents 60 everywhere unrestricted.
The news is rather meagre from the
scene of strife but both sides are active
and on the Russian side it is in getting
ready. The long distance by land 5000
miles from her base of supplies is great
handicap to Russia, and one, it is be-
lieved will eventually lead to her defeat.

Mining Items.

The Branch Mint Gold Mining COM
pany are progressing with their l20
stamp and cyanide mill at Galena, and
it is reported the new mill will be ready
to run by July next. This company is
made up from the original Galena Min
ing and Smelling company promoted by
Mr.. Francis Cradle, who proposed to do
such big things for our neighboring town
of Edgemont.
1t is reported that the big tin mill at
linton is now about complete, and will
start up in few days. 1t is the design
of the company to crush and concentrate
the casiterite and ship the same for treat
ment to Chicago. If this enterprise
proves success We may expect to see
something of that kind started in the
southern Hills. We can duplicate any
thing they have got.
Mr.. Denis Henault has shipped to q
point in the east FIVE carloads of tripo-
lite, or more accurately classified as vol
canic ash. His company are also ship
ping Fuller's Earth, and as they have a
vast bed of each of these earth there is a
probability that in the near future this
will grow into quite an extensive indus
try. Argyle, on the B. & NJ. railroad is
the nearest point but although this is
only few miles the wagon haul is quite
handicap. This might be overcome
however by spur from the B. & NJ,
which will no doubt be built when it is
found that the demand justifies the ex
pense.
LILLIAN BELLE MINING CO.
We are reliably informed that Mr.
Chas. Harbach, who lives about mile
and half east from Custer, has sold his
group of mines. These claims are six in
number and consist of the Comstock, the
Florence, the Florence No. 2, the Atlas
the Portland and Portland No.2. Anew
company has been organized and is cap
italzed at $2,000000. The officers and
directors are as follows.
Presdent-John Mallon.
Vice President-C. Z. Smith.
Secy. and Treasurer-F. A. Gira.
The board of directors are John Nal
Ion, F. A. Gira, C. E. Smith, c. E. Perrin
and Henry Monheim of Custer.
The Lillian Belle Mining & Milling
company is the name of the new organi
zation, and as the above names would
indicate, the business will be carried or
by men who are thoroughly reliable anc
of the highest repute. We are familiar
with the property, and know that the
claims contain large veins of good grade
ore

of the Incandescent Lamp.

Thomas A. Edison, writing for the Electrical World and Engineer tells of his experiments with the incandes- cent electric lamp, which will celebrate it's twenty-fifth birthday this year. He began trying to subdivide the electric light in the fall of 1877 and continued until July. 1878. when he broke down under the strain of number of years Of ceaseless work, and he took a rest. Little was done with the lamp, how ever, in the first six months of that year, owing to the exhibition and trials of the completed phonograph. In Au- gust Mir. Edison began again upon his experiments with carbon filaments.
 Trials were continued until October. 1879, when lamps were made of paper carbon, and with cartoons of common sewing thread, placed in a receiver or bulb made of glass with the leading-in wires sealed by fusion. The whole thing was then exhausted by the Spreugel pump to nearly one-millionth of an atmosphere. MT. Edison then continues: These filaments of carbon, although naturally quite fragile owing to their length and small mass, had a smaller radiating surface and higher resistanse than we dared hope. We had virtually reached the position where the cartoons were stable. In other words, the incandeseent lamp as we still know it today, in essentially all it's particulars unchanged, had been born"
 He then tells of his experience with bamboos and other vegetable sub stances to get the best carbon fila ments, and the final use of cellulose. He says in conclusion that upon a moderate computation the production of incandescent lamps in the country since his first success has reached 8 total of 25O.OOO,OOO lamps. or not less than 10,OOO.O0O a year for each of the twenty five years. The lamp has re- mained structurally the same since 1879.

might have been the case under other management. The sum total of all the annual supply bills. as reported by him on Saturday, is s5s7 ,S02, 1924, to which must be added $s4,971,S2O esti- mated to be required under permanent appropriations for interest on the pub lie debt, the expense of collecting GUS toms. and other purposes, exclusive of the sinking fund. This gives a total of S6S2, ,774, IA, which is still s22. GOO, GOO less than the total estimated revenues. The result has been made possible by the omission to pass a general river and harbor bill at the present sessicn of congress and by a careful economy in the preparation of the appropriation bills. The amount carried by the sun dry civil bill represents a reduction of S29, ,0OO, GOO as compared with the appro
 priations for the current year.

Providing First Aid to Injured Tray
 elerS.

One of the eastern railroads has re- gently adopted a plan for providing first aid to the injured, and the service will son be in operation. The plan ap- pears to be commendable in every way, and no doubt the principal trunk lines will ultimately adopt the best features of the scheme.
 The plan includes the equipping or all baggage, mail, express, work and wrecking cars, terminals, yard off1ce' shops and important stations with first aid boxes, and the instruction of employees in first aid. A stretcher has been adopted, which, when not in use, IS taken apart, making a bundle about three feet six inches long by six inches in diameter, and when ready for use serves either as stretcher for carry ing injured persons, or as a cot Tor transporting them on trains. The first aid boxes consist of outside wooden boxes with hinged lid, 6h inches by six inches by four inches permanently se- cured on locomotives and at other points where installed. Each wooden box contains a sealed tin box. provided with six sterilized first aid packets. Each packet contains one large trl- angular bandage. one ordinary roller bandage two congresses and two safety pins. No drugs or liquors are provided. In order to insure the con- tents of the packets being aseptic, pro- vision is made that whenever the seal on a tin box is found broken, the box must be replaced at once by a sealed one The one with broken seal is turned in 70 be sterilized, refilled if necessary, and sealed. For convenience of inspec- ton ,the wooden boxes will have seal over the lid fastener.
 The employees to be instructed in first aid will include all passenger and freight trainmen. including enginemen and firemen, and other employees at terminals, yards, shops, etc, where ac- lected by the officers in charge. The instructions will be given by the medi- cal examiners of the relief department to classes of employees at convenient points in their districts. They will consist of instructions how to place in- jured on stretchers, how to transport injured, simple directions for taking primary care of wounds, fractures, burns, shock, etc, without the use of drugs, and until competent medical aid can be obtained. Also instructions regarding the emergency treatment of pain, unconsciousness convulsions, and of those suffering from the effects of heat. The instructions are simple and such as can be comprehended readily by the ordinary layman. their purpose being to enable employees in emergen
 cies to act intelligently in giving aid and relief to the injured and suffering until such time as professional aid can be secured
