Inc OnlCou OCdCeS Is CIle SredC-
est mining country in the world,
and yet we are the only great
nation that does not provide an
adequate supervision of the in
dustry, and we can never have
governmental supervision of the
industry Of mining until the con-
gress of the United States creates
an independent department of
mines and mining with a secre-
tary at it's head who shall be a
member of the cabinet.
The department of commerce
and labor, recently established,
with its several bureaus, in which
mining is placed as a bureau
within the bureau of manufac-
ture, was no more necessary, nor
even as mnch so, than is a depart
ment of mines. The placing of
mines under the supervision of
the department Of commerce is
not only unsatisfactory, but it is
reflection on the Importance of
the industry in its relation to the
welfare of the industrial life of
the nation, and a detriment to its
greater advancement and inde-
pendence.
Mining has tremendous GER
tainties. The value of our min
eral products in 1880 was $685.
$4,000. In 1890 those products
were valued at $619,512,17 II
1899 the value was 1916, 800, 946
. and in 1900 passed the billion
J dollar mark.
In considering this question W.
must not associate it altogethe
with the precious metals. Th
value of our bituminous and. an
d thracite coal production each yea
runs up into the millions of dol
. lars; also petroleum, cement, ella

Department Of Mines
FROM THE MINING WORLD.

working mines have increased
proportionately, until today there
are thousands of men working in
mines and at mining plants. The
interests of these men must be
safeguarded; not in an indirect
way; not through a department
in which mining will figure as an
incident along with the lighthouse
service, marine hospital service,
bureau of foreign commerce, and
similar branches Of the public
service, but in an independent de-
partment of its own, the same as
the agriculture of our country is
now cared for. New and COM
plex problems are arising in the
mining industry constantly which
must be judiciously considered by
men equipped for that purpose.
The secretary of department of
mines and mining, not only sho'd,
but he must be, a man with the
quantity and quality of brain and
the experience that will insure
the proper discharge of his duties;
and a man, it cuts no figure how
well qualified he may be for Sec
retary of commerce, would not be
fitted for secretary of a depart
ment of mines and mining, and
this fact more strongly empha-
sizes the necessity of an indepen-
dent department.
AS far back as December, 1898,
; Charles D. Walcott, director of
the U. S. geological survey, re-
ported to the chairman of the
, senate committee of mines and
r mining that he believed the min
. ing interests of tbs country sho'd
have clearly defined representa-
y ton in the Organization Of the
government.
y The American Mining Congress
: very we'll understands that since
: the establishment of the depart
y ment of commerce and labor, with
g mining as it is, a bureau within
/ the bureau of manufactures, it
e becomes more difficult to secure
d Independent department of mines
# and mining, and so the influence
y that caused it to be placed there
e understood it would be; but that
e affords no reason for laying in
= the work for it. 1t is rather one
:. of the greatest incentives why the
al concentration of influence should
le be greater, more active and pow
st erful than ever before. Every
is thing is to be gained by an ear
le nest and honest fight and nothing
is lost. AS to the Importance of the
st issue-not alone to mining men
in but to the whole country-thert
at can be no question.
IS At the coming assembly of the
al American Mining Congress meet
~ ing in Portland, Ore, August 22
this question will be taken up anC

pended on symbols in the buoyancy
chamber of the torpedo. Attached to its
axis is a steel spring connected with the
tooth gearing. A rod to the air lever
actuates it, When the lever is thrown
back the spring is released, and the
gyroscope spins around at the rate of
1920 revolutions a minute. In his book
on ''Torpedoes and Torpedo Vessels"
Lieut.. Armstrong, of the British navy,
says:
1.-THE gyroscope works a servo-motor,
actuating a pair of movable vertical
rudders placed in recesses in the YER
teal fins. These rudders, be it re-
membered, are therefore supplement-
airy to the small adjusted vertical rud-
ders ordinarily fitted, but which may
be discarded If gyroscope is being
used. If, now, the torpedo from any
cause, external or internal, be de-
fected out Of the line of fire, the gy-
roscope, by maintaining its axial posi-
ton in the line Of fire, acts on the
servo-motor, and by means of the YER
teal rudders steers the torpedo back
again to its original position"
Thus the torpedo is endowed with a
brain, so to speak, that directs it's
course through the waves on its mis-
sion of death.

it is, the cause is the same-effete
accumulations in the blood.
Nothing is more certain within the
whole range of medical science than
that course of Peruna in early spring
time will perfectly and effectually pre-
vent or cure this almost universal affec-
ton.
Everybody feels it in some degree.
A great majority are disturbed con-
siderably, while large per cent of the
human family are made very miserable
by this condition every spring.
Peruna will prevent it if taken in

Peruna will cure it if taken as di-
rected.

of the medical profession.

PURE BLOOD
Blood Impurities of Spring
time-Cause, Proven
ton and Cure.

DR.. Hartman's medical lectures are
eagerly scanned by many thousand
readers.
One of the most timely and interest
ing lectures he ever delivered was his
recent lecture on the blood impurities
of spring.
The doctor said in substance that
every spring the blood is loaded with
the effete accumulations of winter,
deranging the digestion, producing
sluggishness of the liver, overtaxing
the kidneys, interfering with the ac-
tion of the bowels and the proper cir
culation of the blood.
This condition of things produces
what is popularity known as spring
fever, spring malaria, nervous exhaus-
ton, that tired feeling, blood thicken-
ing and many other names.
Sometimes the victim is bilious, dys-
peptic and constipated; sometimes he
