Constructing Engineer
Describes One
AND TELLS HOW TO MAKE 1T
Constructed of Concrete and Can
Be Made Absolutely True
and IndestructibIe

In the construction of concrete
mortar blocks in stamp mills, q
constructing engineer thus de-
scribes a method of securing an
even and level top to the block.
The block is built of concrete of
the best materials obtainable and
surfaced with a layer Of sand and
cement about one inch thick, put
on Immediately the block is fin
ished. The anchor bolts are "eye
bolts" secured to railroad iron en-
beded in the concrete. These are
carried to the surface of the block
in iron pipes, and extend to the
proper height above the surface of
the block. A form, exactly the
size of the bottom of the mortar.
is made by boiling solidly together
several 4x6 timbers. These are
planed to a true surface on one
side and on the opposite (upper)
side strip about two inches wide
is dressed perfectly true with the
under side This form is provided
with bolt holes at the proper places
and while the concrete is still wet
the form is placed in the position
to be occupied by the mortar on
the concrete block. The nuts are
then screwed down firmly, the re-
suit being that by use of the level
the form is made to press the yield
ing concrete to a true and abso-
lutely horizontal plane the form
is left in this position until the ce-
ment has set hard-at least twen-
ty-four hours, when it may be re-
moved and the mortar placed in
position when the block is dry
enough, gasket of sheet rubber
being placed between the bottom
of the mortar and the concrete.
The main object when setting a
mortar is to have it rigid, so that
it will have no tendency to rock.
This is of greater Importance than
to have the mortar set exactly
level, though it is desirable to have
it as nearly so as possible, but a
small fraction of an inch, higher
or lower at one end or the other, is
unimportant. The bolt holes are
filled after the mortar has been
lowered so that the the bolts enter
the holes, either sulphur or cement
being run in. This method of set
ting a mortar obviates the neces-
sity of grouting or shimming up,
which usually results in an unsat-
isfactory block, which sooner OF
later will MISUNDERSTANDING and

LOOKS LIKE E0T AIR

War scares are the easiest things
in the world scared up. Rus
sia and Japan have never agreed
in great many things. Lately
they have been trying to reach an
agreement. This was a good
chance for the bulls of the "war
talk" market.
The public insists that it must
have something sensational to read
The reporters of the great News
papers and press associations are
glad that the public is so consti-
tuted. They take hold of every
thing which gives promise of MAX
ing good story or a series OF good
stories and elaborate upon it till
the yellow minded public gets all
the yellow journalism that it can
digest. This war with Japan has
been on and off about a dozen
times since the talk between Rus
sia and Japan became earnest.
Those who have taken hold of the
thing with most zest have insisted
that Japan was taking up the side
of all nations in this matter. Lit
tie Japan has been pictured as
standing with arms folded upon it's
little brown breast and saying:
owe know we are going to be wiped
off the face of the earth, but we
must fight it out for all the world,
alone" Would all the nations of
the earth that boast of their high
civilization stand by and let a little
uncivilized dwarf get in and do
the humanitarian stunt before the
world ?
Who is to blame, the yellow
journals or the yellow minded peo-
pie The baker makes bread that
his customers demand, the shoe
maker and tailor fit their custom
ers, the saloonman makes every
man drunk to his own order. So
the news vendors furnish what the
people demand, even if it be yell
low. Soon there will be no field
for anything but yellow journalism.

While | have been quite content

and rejoice at their good fortune.
Have recently examined more
closely into the Profusion group,
adjoining the Arizona Gold Mining
Company property and it is a Won
derful sight to see the immense
body of free milling gold ore in
sight. The resident manager tested
quantity of the ore in the old
prospector style, metate rock and
hornspoon, and the showing of
gold makes one feel good to be in
terested in the mines and prospects
of district that promises so much
with the small amount of actual
development work done; and the
prediction has been made and we
can't help but believe it true that the
greatest minesof the country are yet
to be opened in Yavapai county, and
of course we all hope it will be our
good fortune to have the gold bricks
fall into our laps. What is needed
is the men who have much idle
money to come to the front and
assist the mining men and reap a
rich harvest for the investment Of
a small amount of the idle money,
and at the same time benefit the
world by bringing to the use OF
man the precious metals stored
away in these hills.-O. H. Perry

STATEHOOD AGAIN

the Governor of the Territory that
we are in great danger of being
married to New Mexico without
our consent. The Governor has
sent a request to all the Boards of
Supervisors of the Territory, ask
ing them to take steps to prevent
this unholy union.
It seems to US that there has
been enough written and said
about that scheme to make it un-
necessary for us to go to any more
trouble about it. If the people
who happen to be in the United
States Congress will not believe
our Delegate, then why should we
have Delegate? What we send
man to Congress for is to tell the
other members what the Territory
wants. And it makes us tired to
have this same howl raised every
time the National Congress sits,
to have the people called upon to
say whether our delegate lies or
not. If the politicians who are in
Congress will not treat us decently,
then we will get in and vote down
any old thing that they offer us
that is not what we want. We are
not otdying for Statehood. We can get
along without it. We would not
mind being full-fedged American
citizens, and we think we are as
well qualified for self-government
as Panama or Cuba. But, of
course, if Eastern prejudice is so
pronounced that the National Con-
gress can not give us our rights in
the light of all the Territory is and
has done to prove her rights to be
State, let the fight for Statehood
be dropped indefinitely.
This talk of joining us to New
Mexico is made for no other pur-
pose than to defeat the Statehood
measure. Colonel Wilson said,
some time back, that the bill would
90 through the House all right.
Senator Quay said it would not.
We agreed with Quay. And we
presume that Wilson now agrees
with Quay, too. Instead of fight
ing for Statehood, Mr. Wilson now
has to put forth efforts to pre-
vent us from getting Statehood.
Better drop the fight and tell Con-
eress, in the language of Shake
speare, "Go to-" 1t will not be
long till we can have Statehood on
much better terms than we can get
it now, even if the merger bill
should be suppressed and the sin
gle Statehood bill passed. The
budding Senators of Arizona can
perhaps smother their fond hopes
and burning ambitions to sit in
the historic halls of Fame. But
pcrchance if there be one with
such strong tendencies in that di-
rection that he can not wait, let
him migrate to Cuba or Panama
and there the fates may smile more
benignly upon his worthy ambi-
tiOns.
This is not meant as criticism
upon any ones actions, but is
merely an expression of our feel
ines on this popular subject.

Sportsmen of this city, with whom il
has been customary to make annual
visits to Evergreen creek in Langlade
county for the purpose of catching
brook trout, will learn with pleasure
that steps have been taken to prevent
illegal fishing in that stream An
association has been formed and filed
articles of incorporation with the
secretary of state, which will be known
as the Evergreen Protective associa-
ton. The purpose of the incorporators
is TO stock the stream and see that the
game laws are better observed. Many
tales have been told about the dynamit-
ing of trout in that stream within the
past few years, and if this practice be
allowed to 90 on the result can be

be assigned for his leaving. He was in

WORRIED WOMEN.
Why Do They Worry When 1t Is
Needless 2-How To Avoid 1t.

There is a secret cause for all worry,
which is p be found in the women
themselves.
If women would not worry so nine
tentass of their suffering would never
exist When a women is i'll she cannot
help worrying, and the cause of nearly
all women's suffering can be traced to
the same source. Men, however, are
more often sick from different compli-
cations. Women's troubles are peculiar
to themselves and it is unfortunate but
true that nearly all their troubles could
be avoided if they would not worry,
and would consult physician before
the disease has reached the chronic
stage.
Mrs Louis Schroeder of Bungert,
Wis, says, Il suffered for years of
female and stomach trouble. After the
repeated failure of others to relieve my
suffering, | consulted DR. Turbin, the
specialist, who, after a thorough ex-
animation, informed me that he could
cure me. 1t is two years since | took
Dr. Turbin's treatment and am well
woman today, thankful to him for cur-
ing me. and can honestly recommend
him to all my suffering sisters
Dr. Turbin will be in Wausau Tues
day, Jan Goth, at the Bells Hotel.

HOW TO NOTE SPARK OF LIFE.
Method by Which Unskilled Ones Can
Tell it Has Gone Out.

1t is not always easy to determine
when the spark of life has become final
! ly extinguished From the fear of beng
| buried alive, which prevails more
abroad than in this country, some infal
lible criterion of death, capable of being
applied by the unskilled, has been con.
sidered desideration and valuable
prizes have been offered for such dis
covery. The conditions most resem.
bling actual death are syncope, asphyxla
and trance, particularly the latter. We
must not rely solely on any one sign OF
death, but combine several.
The most reliable sign of death is ces-
sation of the hearts action This, how
ever, must not be inferred from mere
pulselessness, for the heart may still be
beating, and resuscitation possible
when no pulse can be felt in the arteries
by ordinary manipulation. The use of
stethoscope is necessary, implying of
course, technical skill. Though the
heart cannot cease to beat for more
than ten seconds without death yet in
considering the very slow and feeble
action of the heart eight to ten beats
per minute) in alternating animals,
which normally have pulse of eighty
to ninety per minute, it is well to re-
gard similar position as possible IN
man and to spend in doubtful cases
up to an hour in auscultation.
An easy method to determine
whether the circulation continues
or not is to apply ligature on finger
or Toe. If the circulation has ceased no
change in color is produced; but if the
circulation continues, however feebly,
the extremity, IA course of a few min
utes, will assume "a livid tint from stran-
gulation of the venous flow The res
piration may not be very obvious and
yet it may be going on. Holding a
cold mirror before the mouth, and nos
trils and looking for indications of mois-
ture is a means of ascertaining whether
air currents exist. Placing cup of
water on the chest and observing whe-
tbcr the reflection on its surface moves
or remains still is well adapted for the
purpose in view.-Brooklyn Eagle.
