she may be said to have fairly begun

remain In lyric annals. Thereafter for
upward OF forty years she held first

SOME TALES OF GOLD HUNTERS
Extraction Of Metal More Difficult
Than Its Finding.

Than Its Finding.
The difficulty Of the gold hunter
In Alaska is not so much the finding
OF gold deposits, as In the extraction
of the gold when found, the chief OBJ
stacle being the perpetually frozen
ground encountered by the placer
miner, says the Philadelphia Record.
According to the report issued by
the United States geological survey,
II Is common practice TO use steam
TO thaw out the frozen ground in drift
work
This Is accomplished by means OF
hollow steel points" from FIVE to ten
feet long, which are set up on the
ground and steam or hot water turned
on. These points are gradually driv-
en- into tbs. soil distance OF four or
five feet. in some cases more, and are
usually operated in batteries on
about three-foot centers.
During the night shift, men are en-.
gagged In thawing sufficient gravel for
the men to work during the day. The
points are driven in with a mallet, as
the soil is gradually thawed and are
left In the bank from ten to fourteen
hours. Each point thaws a block
about thirty-six inches In diameter,
that Is about eighteen inches on all
sides. II requires little more than one
boiler horse power to supply steam
for a single point. Wood is used ex.
clusively for fuel, Notwithstanding II
costs $12 a cord.

For States Attorney Frank E, Barber.

Editor Of The Reformer
! An argument Of which we have heard
much in the pending contest between Robert
lie. Bacon and Frank Z. Barber for the
states attorneyship is that experience ought
| 10 be the decisive factor and that as Mr..
Bacon has been in practise some six years
and Mr. Barber only three years, therefore
Mr.. Bacon ought to have the nomination.
| But the length Of time a lawyer has been
at the bar is by no means measure Of his
experience; it can be so only where other
things are equal, as decidedly they are not
| in this case.
The experience that is desirable for this
position in the public interest is that which
comes from what the lawyer has done and
studied; the cases he has had in court from
which 10 learn and develop. BY this stand
ard we find on the docket Of the late April
/ term that Mr.. Bacon, after six years prac'
| tice. appeared in IL cases. and Mr.. Barber
/ in 80. From the September term and in.
Gliding the eases already docketed for next
September. Mr.. Barbers name appears in
\ SO and Mr. Bacon's in only II. Though
| the youngest man At our bar, Mr. Barber
stands third from the top among all our law
yers in the number of his docketings, en-
\ tirely separate from his brothers. prac-
tice as they are not in partnership. In
Z
any, in this county and state have made
more rapid progress toward the front. He
meets the Jeffersonian requirements, in that
he is honest, he is capable. He is clean,
farmers boy whom we farmers. and believe
majority Of the republicans Of this county
would like to see honored as he deserves.
II is hardly worth your space to discuss
the fol-de.rol about the precedent Of CIV
ing the office to the oldest aspirant In
quiry Of leading attorneys throughout me
state including the chairman Of the examin'
! ing board and the reporter of the supreme
court. shows that there is no such precedent
| in any county. II there ever was in this
county. it was broken when Hosea Mann
Ir. was nominated over J. G. Eddy in 1856;
Charles II. Robb over George A. Weston in
1896 and II. D. Ryder over G. H. Williams
two years ago. This is Just the year to
