43 feet, which was correct. He
next discovered a large flow,
suitable for an additional well,
and, as the first discovered loca-
ton was inconvenient, he follow
ed its course some 100 yards to a
point where he said water would
be struck at so feet depth. Sub
sequently an excellent we'll was
put down here, with a natural
head of several feet above the
ground surface. By this time
the expert was visibly exhausted
SO that work was stopped. At
the discovery of the spring last
noted he asked Mr.. Franzius and
others of the party to touch the
rod" which he held. The for
mer and some Of the others claim
to have felt distinctly something
like an electric shock, while
others were insensitive. Mr..
Franzius later was able himself
to obtain reactions with gold and
water, using a bent fresh walnut
twig. and also found some among
his acquaintances who could, in
varying degrees of strength, de-
tect the effects in question.
Judging by his signed article
above referred to, from which
the preceding is taken, Mr.. Fran
zius appears convinced that there
is something in the matter.

Rufus Hawley and Will Maxey
were taken out from the Cracker
jack mine Sunday for medical
treatment. Hawley has his arm
broken between the shoulder and
elbow, and is badly cut about the
face and neck. Maxey has his
right arm broke between the
wrist and elbow, and is severely
cut about the face and neck. He
is the least injured of the two.
Both are recovering nicely.
The men had a round of five
holes, all of which were loaded.
They lit the first, then the second

Revolutionized Again.

A recent report from Denver
says: Proving by tests that he
does work for 80 cents a ton and
gets an increase of 20 per cent in
value, D. Robertson, a Leadville
negro miner, has invented a
chemical process for the reduc-
ton of ores which promises to
revolutionize the industry. What
his process really is, states an
assayer who has undertaken to
solve the puzzle, is concentra-
tion scheme that is meritorious
for the reason that none of the
values are lost in securing the
concentrates. Robertson cannot
explain the chemical reactions
which form such an important
part of his process. Ar he knows
is that he puts in so much of
this, so. much of that, and so
much of something else, cooks
ore samples in the solution and
after the liquid is drained off he
has his values in an easily re-
ducible state in the residue.
Common salt, ferros oxide, nitric
acid, sodium hydroxide and sui
phate of iron are dumped into
the assayer's kettle with the ore,
the temperature is raised and
lowered for three hours. When
the mixture is boiled, a secret
compound is stirred in, the values
are precipitated to the bottom,
the liquid is drained off and the
residue holds the values.

& Boston and United Copper
companies are located, and the
oft repeated prophesy that the
surface of the mineral bearing
ground has so far been barely
scratched, was proven true.
During the past IL months, too,
new and richer ore bodies have
been opened in many of the old
mines and Butte has entered a
new life, a second childhood,
with all its past greatness, as it
were, still in the future.
The copper deposits have been
opened far to the east of the old
district, far to the north and far
to the south. The perfection of
the Baggaley process Of smelling
ores without water concentration
calcination or roasting, has been
made a success. The new pro-
cess does away practically with
the need for coke, coal and other
carbonaceous fuel, as the ore is
made to furnish it's own fuel.
The Pittsburg & Montana COM
pany, which owns the new
smelter, has also opened some
good mining ground east of Butte
city. The management has been
very mysterious and secretive
about all the affairs of the COM
pany, but mining men who know
say the company has the ore.
There is in the ground opened
half a dozen good veins, and
while the ore is not so rich as ir
some of the other new mines OF
the district is runs we'll in copper
an average of about 10 per cent
being claimed for it. There are
about four miles of underground
workings.
Extensive changes and i'm.
provements have been made ir
the smelling plants of the United
Copper, Washoe and Boston &
Montana companies, and it is
understood that some processes
similar to those employed at the
Pittsburg plant have been inaug
urated with success.
The most important new de-
velopment, or strike, in the Butte
district within a year, was in the
Speculator group by the NORTH
Butte company. The properties
small producers at that time
were sold to the North Butt,
company by the Speculator coma
pany for S., 100000, and the sell
ers thought they were getting ;
very high price. Within a montl
after the new company had takel
possession a rich copper vein wa
opened. 1t is more than 60 fee
wide and a large portion Of it i

questions tnaC Will come before
congress at the approaching ses-
sion. Discussing the freight rate
regulation question, he said:
"The suggested legislation pro-
viding for the control of freight
rates and interstate tariffs gen.
orally, will undoubtedly occupy
a very important place in the
session. Whether congress will
conclude to enlarge the powers
of the interstate commerce COM
mission, and thus constitute a
quasi judicial tribunal to deter
mine the equities between the
shipper and the carrier, involves
a very serious question.
From my present information
and consideration of the question
am rather inclined to favor a
direct enactment by congress to
the extent of its power, leaving
as little to be provided for in the
execution of the law through the
means of rules and regulations
by the department of the govern
ment entrusted with the eXecu-
ton of whatever legislation may
be enacted, as possible.
Il am opposed to government
by rules and regulations where
it is possible to avoid such sys-
tenn. The constitution has desig-
mated congress as the authorized
branch of the government to eX-
ercise the constitutional power of
the government over such mat
ters. l am in favor of congress
acting directly through the
medium of legislation to the
limits of its power. :"
Relative. to the government
regulation of insurance the sena-
tor said: ''The proposition that
congress should provide for the
supervision and control of insur-
ance is a serious one. I am not
in favor of leaving the regula-
tion of insurance matters to g
bureau of the government to be
administered under the rules and
regulations, but if action is to be
taken at all should favor the
enactment of such laws by con
gress as would place proper re-
strictions upon the companies
and provide proper safeguards in
the interest of the insured.
introduced a bill at the last ses.
sion which, in my judgment
J.. would go far to accomplish this
purpose.
In reference to forest reserves
the senator said: 81 hope to see
such action taken by congress as
will place a reasonable restraint
upon the. segregation of vast
tracts of land of our country fol
purposes of forest and other re
serves. These Withdrawals re
suit in diminishing the presen
and future taxable values of the
state, and as they have been ad
ministered, absorb vast quaint
ties of land dedicated to educa
tional and other public purposes
They also diminish the area avail
able for home making within th'
state. 1 have heretofore eX
pressed my view at length upol
this question, and at this time
, will only say that l hope congress
, takes such action as will keel
, the exercise of this right within
, a narrower, scope than it ha
heretofore assumed"

gold finder, as it is used by the
varions professors" who at
tempt to lead others to believe
that they can locate with fair
degree of accuracy valuable min
eral deposits. Some of these
forked devices are elaborate and
expensive, gotten up in fine style
with linen or silk-wound handles,
various wires and insulating de-
vices for mysterious purposes,
but the operators of the divining
rod have never yet been known
to grow rich in the pursuit of
their profession from the value
of ore bodies located by them in
this manner. There are, how
ever, numerous fairly well au-
thenticated stories of the finding
Of water by means Of the divin-
ing rod. The Engineering News
prints the following as an inter-
esting instance:
Successful use of a divining
rod is reported by G. Franzius Of
the German harbor construction
bureau, associate director Of the
construction of the Kiel concrete
drydocks, in the ZentraIblatt der
Bauverwaltung of Sept. 13, 1905.
The occasion for trial of divin-
ing rod performance presented
itself a few months ago when it
became necessary to sink addi-
tional wells on the grounds of
the Imperial Navy Yard at Kiel
for water supply. In this terri
tory water is found everything an
impervious hardpan whose sur
face is very irregular. The con-
ditions are such that at one point
a borehole may give ample water,
while a dozen feet away no
water is struck, and at still other
points artesian flows of low head
may be obtained. In order to
avoid, if possible, the expense of
many trial boreholes, Mr.. Fran
zius obtained the assistance of
one Mr.. Won Bulow-Bothkamp,
who had made a large local repu-
tation as a water and gold finder.
The appliance used by him is a
piece of iron wire, about 1-8 inch
or less in thickness, bent to the
form of a loop, with long cross
ends. This rod" is held by
grasping in the two hands its op-
posite ends, which thus serve as
axis, and allowing the loop por-
ton to project horizontally for
ward from the body. When
passing over or near an under
ground flow of water apparently
Mr.. v. BIB. is able to indicate
only flowing underground water)
the loop of the rod" flies up
sharply, striking the operators
breast. Armed with this instru-
ment, the expert first discovered
a large underground flow, undis-
cernible from the surface, but
well known to the engineer in
location and direction, because il
had been tapped in drydock work
The expert at once found its
course and direction. Next, al
a driven we'll which had beer
closed off with a plug some time
before, the expert obtained ne
reaction, in spite of the positive
statement of the engineers as
sistant that this pipe had giver
an artesian flow. AS proof Of
the experts error, the plug was
taken out of the pipe, when, 10
no water came. 1t was thought
possible that a we'll driven some
60 or 70 feet away may have laiC
