Bad for Dry Guloh Miners.

The dryness Of the present winter is
affecting the work at many Of the
placer mines in Southern Oregon and
there is one class OF the miners to
whom the weather is exceptionally
unkInd. These are the men known as
the dry guloh" miners IN the
higher Rulches and on hill benches in
Josephine county are considerable
number Of miners Of this class and the
aggregate amount Of gold brought
in annually by them, helps very
materially to swell the gold output
OF Southern Oregon. Some Of these
men make good livings from their
diggings by only few weeks work in
the year az they have water for op.
Grafton only in the wettest portion
Of the rainy season. Their mining
ground is usually limited in area,
though often remarkably rich. These
small placers. where the water supply
will not Justify hydraulic equipment,
are usually worked by the pick and
shovel and ground sluioe methods.

MINING FOR RUBIEs IN INDIA.


 The System practised for obtaining rubies in the mining districts in Bur nah is of the most primitive descrip- ton. The mining shafts are simply holes about two feet square, sunk to a depth varying up to fifty or sixty feet. The snoring up of the walls of the shaft is most crude, the sides being supported by posts of the corners and branches of small trees secured care fully against the sides by means of stout sticks.
 The miner carries a tin pot similar in shape to blunt edged cone, on his head. He squats down in one corner and digs between his knees in the oppo- site corner. The earth or byou, as the ruby bearing earth is called is convey ed to the top as fast as it is excavated, in small buckets let down from above.
 The apparatus for raising and lower ing the buckets is simple in the extreme A stout bamboo post, about twenty feet high, called a maungdine, is fixed upright in the ground at a convenient dis tance from the pit or dwin, and a long, thinner bamboo, pivoted horizon tally into the upper end of it so as to project an eighth from the mine and the long arm toward the mine.-Search Light.

FAC CTS VERSUS MOTIONS.

When people read the stories of acci- dents to ships and railroad trains they are apt to congratulate themselves that they are not travelling. Some facts compiled by the Travellers Insurance company, based upon forty years busi- ness of that company reveal strange things concerning this question of safe- ty as involved in connection with S992,- 900 persons insured against accident by the company in the period mentioned. These facts are compiled without re- gard to employment, so they may be assumed to represent the average chances of accidents to any man, and show the following percentages: To pedestrians 24.14, persons at home Qn- doors) 1880, horses and vehicles 1916. at home (outdoors) 15.9S, recreation 6:15, railroad travel AIT. bicycle accidents 4.06, street-car travel 2.74, use of fire- arms 1.73, animal bites 1.52, assaults 1.20, steamship travel 70, and miscella- neous .05. ..
 These figures would seem to indicate that the most dangerous place one can be is to be walking anywhere, while to be at home--either indoors or out-is fully as risky as to be riding in any kind of vehicle or on horse. These three appear to comprise the great dan- gers of human existence, for all others show comparatively small percentages. Next to these comes greater propor- ton of accidents at recreation, exceed ing the risks of railroad travel by fully one and a half per cent, while steam- ship travel danger is so small as to be hardly worth talking about.

GOoD WORK IN CHICAGO.

The Citizens League of New Haven, and other Citizens Leagues, can and will get much legitimate encourage ment from what has been done by the Municipal Voters League of Chicago. This League has been in existence for about ten years, and though when it started work it was rejected and de- spised by the politicians and looked at in a discouraged way by many good citizens, it has done much. It reports that the City Council has now arrived at the condition of a self-respecting body, jealous of it's reputation. Out of the thirty-four. retiring Aldermen, twenty-four are considered worthy of reelection, while ten are condemned more or less strongly. Of these six are Democrats, three Republicans, and one a Socialist. Chicago is about to get & new charter, which will eliminate many of the anachronisms and compli- S1baOAio NAlASA1 ileNC SU lOuS NSACu bAAC city. Moreover the traction question, which is probably unique in the length of time it has remained a dominant is- sue in politics without ever being brought to settlement, will come be- fore the Council again this year in the shape of important ordinances. Thus the local election is of rather excep- tional importance. The Voters League takes this time for urging the nomina- tion of aldermanic candidates by the direct primary.
 If politics in Chicago can be purified in the way it has been there is surely hope for smaller and less wicked cities.

THE EENTINEL.

The official trials of the Sentinel, the first of the new scouts" the latest type of vessel to be added to the Brit ish navy, have just taken place, to the great satisfaction of the admiralty of ficials. The ship maintained a speed throughout an eight-hour test or 25.24S knots. This is a quarter of knot III excess of the guarantee given by the contractors. The eight-hour full-speed trials were of a severe character. At the beginning it was stipulated that the vessel must make six runs over the measured mile within an hour and half, and that the average number Of revolutions per minute to give the speed of 25 knots must be maintained for the remaining six and one-half hours of the test. The ship was loaded with all war stores. The sea was rough, and the wind was of force to ,. The first and second runs over the meas ured course on the Clyde were made at low water with slack tide, and the difference in time between the two runs was only six-tenths of a second. On the subsequent runs tidal influence came in, but the third and fifth runs, which were made against the tide, only differed in time by four-tenths of a second, while the two runs with the tide were made in exactly the same time-namely, minutes 244 seconds. This meant practically no variations in revolutions of engines, the mean power being about 17,500. The Sentinel then proceeded down the Firth of Clyde, maintaining for further six and one half hours the same number of revolu- tions. For nearly ten hours she steam ed at over 25 knots.
 Before the full power trial the vessel ran for ninety-six hours on coal con- sumption test, and proved exceedingly economical. Each ton of fuel was found to be capable of driving the ship for eleven sea miles. Experiments made at various speeds showed that, while one fourth of full power gave nineteen knots, one-half of the full power only increased the speed by 3 1-2, thus af- fording further evidence of the great cost of such high speeds.

DROPPING THE PILOT"

The first thing after his (Emperor
 William'sl accession which really
 struck me as revelation of his char acter was his dismissal of Bismark. By vast numbers of people this was thought the act. of an exultant young ruler eager to escape restraint, and this opinion was considerably promot~ ed in English speaking countries by an ephemeraI cause-Tenniel's cartoon in Punch entitled Dropping the Pilot. " As most people who read this will re- member, the Iron Chancellor was therein represented as an old, weather beaten pilot, in storm coat and sou wester, going slowly and heavily down the gangway at the side of a great ship, while far above him, leaning over the bulworks, was the young Emperor, jaunty, with a satisfied smirk, and
 wearing his crown. There was in that little drawing g. spark of genius, and 1t sped far; probably no other in Punch"
 ever produced so deep an effect, save possibly that which appeared during the Crimean War with the legend, "Generald February Turned Traitor !"
 It went eNSryWHSTS, appealing LV aSSN sentiment in human hearts. t
 And yet, to me, admiring Bismark as the greatest German since Luther, but refiecting upon the vast interests in- volved, this act was proof that the young monarch was a stronger man than any one had supposed, Certainly this dismissal must. have caused him a deep pang. All his previous life had shown that he. admired Bismarck,
 almost adored him. The dismissal re- vealed deep purpose, strong will. Louis XIV had gained credit after the death of Mazarin by declaring his intention of ruleing alone of taking into his own hands the vast york begun by Riche- lieu; but that was the merest nothing compared with this. This was, ap- parently. as if Louis XIII, immediately after the triumphs of Richelieu, had dismissed him and declared his purpose of henceforth being his own Prime Minister. The young Emperor had found himself at the parting of the ways, and had deliberately chosen the right path, and this in spite of almost universal outcries at home and abroad. The old Emperor William could let Bismark have his way to any extent: when his chancellor sulk- ed, he could drive to the palace in the Wilhelm Strasse, pat his old servant on the back, chaff him, scold him, laugh

4 CHdNCE FOR MORE TRADE

We are holding our own in "the markets of tue world,' but we want more. and there is more to get. It ap- pears that the total value of cotton yarns exported from Japan to China in 1893 was s29,5S0, and in 1903 $14 112, ,5O7; and of other cotton manufactures in 1893, $221,7SS, and in 1903, s2,313,547, making a total of cotton yarns and fin- ished manufactures sent from Japan to China in 1903, s251, 1868, and in 1903, s16,- 126,054. Meantime, the quantity of raw cotton exported from the United pounds in 1893 to 61,6O1,219 pounds in 1903, the value of the sum being, in 1893, $6s,42S, and in 1903, $12, 2,619 The quantity and value in 1903 were some what reduced by reason of the very high price of American cottons, and the sact that Japan, in years of high prices in America, turns for a part of her cotton supply to India, where she finds shorter staple, and, therefore, lower prices, The general fact how ever, that Japan increased her pur- chase of our raw cotton from $6S, 900, in 1893, to $12,500,000, in 1903, and in the same period increased her sales of man. ufactured cotton to China from $251, 900 in 1893 to $16,000, 900 in 1903, suggests the possibilities which await the cotton manufacturers of the United States when they choose to turn the cotton produced in this country into finished state before permitting it to pass to the cotton consumers in Japan.
 The fact that yarns form a much larger proportion of Japan's exports of cotton manufactures than is the case with those of European countries is apparently due in part to the fact that her manufacturing establishments have not yet reached that stage of perfec- tion in the production of finished goods which the older countries of Europe have attained, and in part also, to the fact that the people of her largest cus- toner, China, utilize yarns largely in the household manufactures of cotton cloths for domestic use, especially in EaaTs af high Qrices of finished goods.

at him and set him going again, and no one thought less of the old monarch on that account. But for the young Emperor William to do this was fatal. It classed him at once among the rois faineants, the mere figureheads, 'the solemnly constituted impostOrs." and in this lay not merely dangers to the young monarch, but to his dynasty and to the empire.
 To me his recognition of this fact was and is a proof that the favorable judg- ments of him which I had heard ex- pressed in Berlin were well founded Andrew D. White, in The Century Magazine.

When Emperor William goes on cruise with his big yacht Hohenzollern he leaves good deal of his royal dig nity ashore. Of course, he is "boss" of the vessel, but the fresh air and the freedom from necessity for dressing formally seem to afford him much re- lief. It amuses him to go poking about among the machinery, and he even pays frequent visits to the kitchen, to watch the cooks and perhaps take a hand himself in the preparation of the food. It is great sight to see his majesty ascend from the kitchen to the upper deck with plate of pork and beans and mashed peas, sit down on a little chair with the plate between his knees and proceed to polish off it's contents with evident relish and tin spoon.
