The Telephone in War.

Scouting with the aid of the tele- phone has become one of the features of modern warfare, and Is now being made use of by the Japanese" says the Western Electrician. Two scouts pro. ceed from the lines toward the enemy; one, the observer, is a skilled army officer, who makes the observations, which are transmitted back to head quarters through telephone line paid out from reel carried by all electri. clan of the signal corps. A ground re-. turn Is used, the ground being made by thrusting bayonet or hatchet into the earth and attaching one end of the line to 1t. The electrician carries a battery on his back. He also makes the con. nections and does the talking. A spe. cial conductor is used, which will stand the rough usage. In this manner a scout may be able to stay out long time and give valuable information without being obliged to make a nun. Der of hazardous trips to the front"

Railway Travel in 1890.

In 1880, when the railway was open ed between Liverpool and Manchester, the Liverpool terminus was at Wap- ping. Lime street tunnel was not com pleted until about six years later.
 At first the service consisted of three trains each way on week days and two on Sunday. but this was soon found to be insufficient. After Lime street station was opened there were six tirst-class trains and six secOnd- class trains each way on week days and two of each description on Sun days. The journey of thirty-One miles occupied nearly two hours, which led to complaints that the speed was too great to be pleasant and caused dizzi- ness. On the other hand sanguine ex- pectations were indulged in that in course of time the average rate of travelling would be at least double the ordinary speed of the swiftest convey ances drawn by horses. 1t was an- ticipated that the general adoption of railways would lead to "a vast de- crease in the consumption of oats and hay by the substitution of steam en- zines in lieu of horses, and that DOT ton of the soil which has hitherto been allotted to the growth of such produce may be appropriated to the raising of food suitable to the human species"- an important consideration in the time of the Corn laws. It could not have been foreseen that the railway system, so far from superseding horses, would lead to an immense increase in the de- mand for them.-Liverpooi Post.

Praise for a Poet.

The late Richard Henry Stoddard received many little books of poems from would-be poets who hoped to be given word of praise.
 Once while Stoddard was acting as literary editor of certain publica- ton, there was sent to him book of poems published at the authors ex- pense, the edition of which was limit ed to one hundred copies.
 One hardly can imagine the shock the author must have received when he opened the paper containing Stod- dard's review of the book and read the following: "The best thing that we can say of this volume of poems Is that the edition is limited to one hundred copies"

Reporting to Manager Fred BEETLES

tendeut Of the Hannapah Mining
company's properties, eighteen miles

with old mining camps which, il their
early history, were productive of
immense quantities of ore from the
grass-roots, but which, at the pres
ent time, are idle and practically de
serted, and their old time producers.
neglected and abandoned, are so
wrecked by the hand of time that
they appeal in vain to the capitalist
and promoter for resurrection and
renewed life. The causes which LED
to this abandonment are many, and
yet no good eason exists why mines
which have produced their hundreds
of thousands, or even millions, at no
greater depth than 200 feet, should
be closed and unproductive during
this era of mining prosperity and
wonderful production.
A miner or prospector will 60 wild

nanza; into a mine that will maintain
a production of a hundred tons of ore
a day for IN indefinite period. And,
more, he must know that a property
that has been developed for a few
hundred feet or more is not a mine,
but that it is still a prospect. He
must know, also, that instances are
few OF record where the ore bodies,
strong on the surface, fail to go to
the deep, w though barren spots
are encountered in the VEN. 1t is
true that the character of the ore
may change with depth, but it is a
general rule that the greater the
depth, the larger the ore channels,
while values are usually well main
tanned.
The life Of a mine depends upon
depth. To insure a big and regular
tonnage, the mine must be thoroughly
opened, levels must be run, upraises
made, ano the workings must be con.
nected in order that many men can
be employed IN ore extraction, SO
that development can be kept ahead
OF production, This condition cannot
be maintained by keeping up mere
surface workings, and yet many rici
mines have been abandoned after only
a few hundred feet OF tunnels or in,
clines have been run, that would be
heavy producers today were they
but subjected to a system Of deer
mining. And yet these old mines are
much better than prospects, as sur
face workings have demonstrated
the existence Of large and rich ore
bodies which, without doubt, can be
followed to the deep more successfully
than can work be prosecuted in the
eiOpileH Ol u mere pI0SpeGl
whose value is still an unknown
quantity.
Deep sinking makes big mines, but
mere surface scratching will lead tc
failure unless the veins exist in what
is known as blanket formation
Many Of the old and abandoned
mines alluded to, although having
produced their hundreds of thousands
at the grass roots, are still in theiI
infancy, as far as their real worth i.
concerned; and, what they have pro
dueed at or near their surface in The
past is but an index Of what they are
capable OF producing were they Il
pass into the hands of those possess
ing the capital and nerve to develop
them to greater depth.
