"A TALK TO OUR READERS.

With this number Of the Mining News
the paper begins on Volume a, it being
lust three years ago this week that the
the paper was established. We have
nothing to say of the past, Nor will
we speak of the future; newspaper max
ing is entirely dependent upon the
community in which the paper is pub
lished. If the community is prosperous
and progressive the editor with push
and enterprise will keep pace with the
surrounding conditions. Of course it is
indisputable that newspaper in com
munity, particularly young mining
district, does more in attracting capital
and other benefcent influences to the
community than any other institution
in it. How well the Mining News does
it's part is indicated by the number of
readers it has among mining men in the
large cities in the east and those on the
Pacific coast, the circulation at this
time reaching beyond the two-hundred
mark.
So, we will not speak of the future
for the paper, more than to say that
the editor will meet conditions as they
arise. '.4t
Though somewhat at variance with
the usual business methods of the editor
of the Mining News, it does seem ap-
propriate on the beginning of the new
year to remind all subscribers who are
in arrears that this is a good time tc
balance accounts. We have on oul
books, many small accounts, the pay
ment of which would be a very small
matter to the debtor, but the aggregate
would very materially aid the editor ir
discharging his obligations to the firms
from which he gets his supplies. We
hope all Mining News subscribers will
take note of this fact and not wait fol-
an individual request.
Subscribers at distance will please
remit by postoffice money order, pay
able to the editor, whose name appears
at top of this column.

DEEP SEA FISHES.

There Being Nothing Else to Eat,
They Live Upon Each Other.
''All the deep sea fishes are enormous
eaters" says q naturalist. There be-
ing nothing to eat but the life about
them, they live upon each other. Every
facility for killing and devouring
is provided-luminescen to dazzle,
swiftness and strength to overtake
and overpower, knife blade teeth for
tearing, abnormally large jaws for
crushing. Whatever the prey or how
ever large 1t may be, there is little
trouble In swallowing it. The mouth
Yawns like a cavern, and the stomach
distends to hold body even larger
than the swallower. The appetite In
fishes seems never wanting, and COM
plete digestion with some Of them Is
only a matter of half an hour" For
this reason slaughter goes on unend-
ingiy Usually it Is produced only by
hunger, but some monsters, like the
bluef1sh, even when gorged, kill for
pure love Of killing.
OF the eternal warfare that goes on
beneath the surface of the waves the
same writer remarks: They follow the
prey like packs Of wolves. and In turn
are followed, band succeeding band,
increasing In size as they decrease in
numbers The herrings eat the smaller
fish, even their own young; they are
harried by the bluefshes until a trail
of blood stains the water, while fol-
! lowing the bluefshes come the insati-
ate porpoises Nothing saves the
weaker ones but breed. Many thou
sands Of eggs are spawned that a
dozen or more may be Matched and
brought to maturity. Billions are lost;
| yes, but millions survive.
1.-The herrings move on the sea In
uncountable numbers-in banks that
are miles In length and width, in wind
rows so vast that they perhaps keep
passing one given point In unbroken
! succession for months at a. time. Just
SO with the menhaden. A catch in g
purse net of 10000 Is not infrequent
Such numbers are sufficient to with
stand all the ravages of the natural
enemy The bass, the paddock and
the pollock may kill to their hearts
content, and still the menhaden viii
hold their n."-Chicago News.

The Sites and Elk City Road.

After friendly greeting to the people
of the entire mining region Of Elk City,
Newsome, Orogrande, Dixie, Red River
and Big Creek-in fact, any old mining
folks also the merchants, hotel keep
ers, stations up on aforesaid road, any
body, everybody, / say let US all sub
scribe what we conscientiously consider
we are able toward making our Sites
Elk City road passable road. Why
not do this thing? Don't we all want a
better road, and want it badly? 1t
could be made Gf we would everyone
bend our energies to the task) one OF
the best mountain roads, for there are
no really steep ascents at all. Don't
we want it widened out to a lawful So
foot road, so that teams can pass, so
there would be room to work the road,
to let the sun in, let the wind have a
chance to dry up the mud after rain,
give the phone line a chance, for it's
to us all important. If the road was
wide the phone could then be put up so
we could rely upon constant service.
Now, / propose to try to get up a
subscription for to raise money to have
work and permanent improvements upon
the aforesaid road. l say, let us at
once raise goodly sum of money on
our side as citizens of this entire COM
monwealth, also asking the towns on
outside terminus of said road for their
help and cooperation in this plausible
road-making scheme. W
Let us raise the money, sum we are
not ashamed Of Then request, ask our
representative, the Hon. James Sur
ridge, of Harpster, Idaho, to intercede
in our behalf for an appropriation tc
help US rebuild our Stites-Elk City roac
when he goes to Boise Now, if we dc
not raise hand to help Representative
Surridge, how are we going to have the
face to expect him to even ask fol
money for our united and individual
benefit? Think Of the beauty and en-
chantment to our mountains if we only
had wide, broad roadway in to un
questionably growing mines, mines tina
will shortly be the Eldorado of the west

THE BLAST FURNACE.
In Cleaning One 1t II Necessary to
Use Dynamite.


The function Of q blast furnace is
the reduction of ores to metallic iron.
The iron ore, like stone and coke, Is
put In at the top and the iron and Stag
are drawn off at the base. The tenn
perature OF the interior Of blast fur
mace when in operation varies accord
Ing to circumstances. but the molten
iron when drawn of is about 1 800 de-
4rees F., Indicating O much higher
Temperature inside.
To Withstand such terrific heat,
Which is maintained by powerful
blast of air which acts much in the
same manner as a forced draft on a
boiler. the furnace Is lined on the In
side with a fine grade of fire brick,
thoroughly burned. This wall Of non
combustible material is about four feet
thick. outside of which Is the steel
Jacket OF the furnace, about one-quar-
ter Of an inch thick.
The lining of furnace Will last
from two to six years. according to the
nature OF the material smelted. the
furnace being III continuous operation
during that time. 1t takes about SIX
weeks to refine Il furnace.
After a furnace Is blown out" OF
ceases to be used, there Is quantity
Of iron which cools and soldifes at the
base of the furnace. This is called
salanander, and 1t Is necessary to use
dynamite to loosen this material and
get 1t out of the furnace so that re
pairs can be contaminated. Salamnn
der has n ready sale. as 1t is hns
grade of pig iron.
AS rule. when trade conditions are
good blast furnace is never allowed
| to cool down or be taken out Of bias
except at intervals of several years fol

MRS. LISTERS SUGGESTIONS.

In another column of this number of
the Mining News is an article on the
Elk City-Stites wagon road, written by
Mrs. Addie Lister Of Corral Hill. The
News is always glad to hear from its
readers, and give space in its columns
to those who have ideas on things that
would tend for the betterment of con-
ditions in this district.
Mrs. Listers communication shows
the people on the prairie are becoming
interested in the road problem in this
part of Idaho county, and, furthermore,
she advances ideas which if put to
practice viii develop into something
more substantial in the cause of the
good road movement than has been the
case in former discussions on the sub
ject. 1t appears the people on the
other end have decided a subscription
fund IS the most available means OF get
ting work done on the road, and Mrs.
Listers communication indicates that
the people there will contribute then
share to the fund required. This will
be good news to the residents of the
mountain districts who have Away!
stood ready with cash to support sucl
enterprise. 1t is understood by THU
paper that such movement has severa
times been started at this end of tn
road, but, failing to receive the supper
that should have come from other quart
ers, it never reached tangible form
Now that the people of the two section
are Of one mind on the subject some
thing good ought to be accomplished.

FROM Harper > weekly.
The story is told of a young married
woman in Philadelphia whose husband is
always impressing upon her the import
ance, especially in written communica-
tions, of brevity and conference. Always
keep to the matter in hand the husband
is fond of saying, with reference to the
propensity of his wife to wander from the
subject when she writes.
Recently the young wife received from
her husband in Chicago, he heing on the
first trip away from her. a telegram read
ing
Are you all right? Answer, Blank Ho-
tel, Chicago"
The youthful spouse, realizing that the
situation called for an application Of those
principles of economy and directness of
expression so frequently expatiated upon
by her husband, was hard put TO Ii for a
while. The husbands intended move
ments were to be such that she could not
write him a letter, so ii must be a tele-
gram that should answer his question.
After a few moments in agitated thought
she evolved the following. neither exceed
ing nor falling below the ten words she
could despatch for Is cents:
Eyes, yes, yes. / am very well. indeed.

FireIess Ovens in Camp.

1t is said that German fire.
less ovens are being widely
introduced into Great Britain and t.at
many sales of them have been made
on this continent also. The theory of
these ovens is that the sides or lin
ang being composed of soapstone, or
some other material which retains the
heat artificially impaired, will when
covered with felt on the outside de-
velop enough warmth to cook meats e
cakes placed inside. No doubt the idea
is new in Europe, but it is old here.
Indian guides in the northern woods
were observed making use of one of
these ovens a few days 6 just as
their ancestors have used them for
ages past. On many OF the best known
portages the guides set up the tents
on the old camping places, because
there they find the half dozen flat
stones needed to construct the oven.
On top of these they build a fire, and
when the stones are red hot the In
sdfans set them UP In the form of a
covered box, inside OF which has been
placed the saddle Of venison. a pair OF
partridges or ducks, or perhaps a bears
ham. Instead of the heavy felt of the
German Continuance they cover 1t all
over with thick moss, the green side
In. over which is piled soil, If it may
be had conveniently.
The next corning the roast is cerA
tain OF being cooked to a delicious
turn. 1t has either beer spitted on a
clean wand of birch, which imparts
no Ill flavor to the meat, or else q
grille of sticks has been laid across
the oven, upon which it's contents have
rested.
Sometimes the easier plan is adopted
of allowing a sharp pointed stick to
project through from the outside at one
corner. the outer end being stuck firm
ly into the ground. In any case the
object is to keep the joint from touch
ing the sides of the oven. which. truth
10 tell, are seldom very clean.
