THE MINERS HIGHER WAGES.

The mine owners of the west are di- viding their prosperity with their min CTS. The division was first announced by the companies of Cochise county last week in a substantial raise of wages Announcement of a similar raise was made on Saturday by the big companies in the Butte, Mont, dis trict
 So far as we know the raise, which by the way can well be afforded, at the present price of copper, is purely voluntary. There had been no demand for it and there was no dissatisfaction which neded allaying The Montana mine owners, though, after the wages had been raised by the Arizona com panies, had no choice in the matter It was the same as if they had been threatened with a strike For, if an

THE PICTURES MOVED.
So Did the Audience in An Evansville,
 Indiana Theater.

Evansville, Ind. Nov. 1.-Two per sons were seriously injured and a number of women and children bruised and otherwise slightly hurt in a panic caused by an incipient blaze from a moving picture machine at the Frank lin Street theater here last night.
 A hot carbon usel in the moving pie tUre machine dropped into a basket of ceIluloid films. The flames sprang up to the ceiling and the curtains caught fire. Almost instantly the audience became unmanageable and rushed for the exits. Men and police by hard work quilted the excited people but practically every seat in the theate" was smashed during the rush for the doors. The loss from the fire was enlal

There was never a time when miners were so much in demand The big copper companis are daily increasing their facilities for taking out ore, re- ducing it and hurrying it to the mar ket. They do not know how long the present prices will prevail. They may go higher in spite of the fact that a few years ago when copper rose to six teen cents many believed that the limit had been reached. But whether copper advances farther or not, at the present prices it. is better in the market than in the ground.

The Arizona Star extracts comfort from the statehood figures, adding to the statehood vote the difference be- tween the registered vote and the votes actually cast for and against the state hood question. The silence of the un- voted and the uncounted is interpreted by the Star to mean consent. The per tinacity with which the Star sticks to statehood recalls those thrilling lines with which we used to be compelled to give limberness to our vocal organs:

HOGGATT AND WASKEY
Argue Over MiningLaw and Territorial Gov
 ernmerlt

Washington, Dec. 12-The cor respondence of Delegate Waskev and Governor Hoggatt with the president regarding Alaskan legis- lation has been made pubic by the Senate. Waskey recommended that changes be made in the min ing laws so that a bona fide dis covery of gold in quantities suffi- cient for commercial value be re- nuired before . location can be made on placer ground, and also requiring that proof that the ground was part of the unoccupied public domain be filed with the recorder. He recommends making recording of annual labor compul- sorry and defining false swearing as purjury. He also wants associa- tion claims abolished. In regard to territorial government he de. clares that 10000 American citi- zens. residents of the district are demanding that territorial govern ment be granted.
 Hoggatt's letter in answer to Waskeys says that the supreme court decisions regarding what constitutes discovery of gold suffi- cient for location cannot be im- proved upon, and in regard to proving that desired ground is part of the unoccupied public domain he says in many instances it is practically impossible for locator to produce such proof, although the ground is open to location. He says further that it is unsafe to extend the powers of the recorders as suggested by Waskey The recommendation regarding record ing of annual labor and the aboli- sio,r of association claims is satis.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

While George w. Stevens, many years
ago, was repairing the road in front OF
his house in Bolton, VT, he hung a hoe
in tree and forgot 1t. A few days ago
the tree was cut down and when sawed
up the blade of the hoe, with the ex-
ception of part of the crook and the
handle. was found embedded in the
body of the tree, having been covered
by the wood and bark by natural
growth.
A bald-headed resident of North
Adams has invented a means of pro-
tecting his head from the flies The
device consists Of piece of cardboard
through which a hole is cut the size OF
his head, and over this is pasted sticky
fly paper, sticky side out An elastic
cord holds the contrivance in place. The
man says the flies do not detect the de-
ception until it is too late, but shoot for
the shining surface with as much avid
ity as they do for the most polished
pate.
The origin of he diamond has been
long in dispute. When the stones OF
South Africa were traced from the riv-

agglomerate filling the pipes Of old vol
canoes-it was supposed that the real
matrix had been discovered. but 1t has
since appeared that the diamonds We're
picked up by this rock from an older
rock pierced by the volcanic eruptions
The Government Geologist of New
South Wales has now described a small
diamond from a dolerite dyke, finding
the assumption justified that the crystal
was actually formed in this igneous
rock as 1t cooled or solidifisd from a
molten stato.

Simple Cure for NeuraIgia,

simple method of curing facial neu-
ralgia is given. If the neuralgia Is in
the right side of the face the left hand
should be placed in a basin of water as
hot as can be borne: or If neuralgia is
in the left side of the face, then the
right hand should be placed in the hot
water. 1t is asserted that in this way
relief may be obtained in less than five
minutes
The explanation is that the two
nerves which have the greatest number
Of tactile nerve endings are the fifth
and the median nerve. AS the fibers of
these two nerves cross any impulse con-
veyed to the left hand will affect the
right side of the face, or If applied to
the right hand will affect the left side
of the face. This is on account of the
crossing of the cords.

A BY-pRoDucr OF THE GAS ENGINE.

The gas-producer engine is unques-
tionably the coming motive power of
the future, and It is therefore interest
ing to learn that its usefulness is being
Increased in new direction. The Ger
mans, who have developed and are us
ing the gas-producer engine to far
greater extent than other people, are
studying it and its possibilities with ax-
ceeding thoroughness- A German IN
ventor, it is claimed, has at last per-
fected a way by which nitric acid can
be formed as by-product of the gas
engine. As is well known to chemists,
nitrogen and oxygen will combine at a
certain high heat, but they disassociateI
upon cooling. The German inventors
scheme is probably to use the high heat
Of the gas engine to combine nitrogen
and oxygen, and then cool the product
so quickly that it will not disintegra e
If this can be done commercially it will
solve a great problem. AS everyone
knows, the value of fertilizers is the
amount of nitrogen in them in an as
similable form. The great difficulty has
been to get the nitrogen of the air in
this shape. If it can be made into nitric
acid it can be readily changed into
plant food. 1t is in nitric acid, in salt
peter and nitrate of soda, and this gives
them their value as fertilizers. Nitro
gen is also in an assimilable form in
ammonia, which gives the value tol
stable manure. there being in ammonia
one part of nitrogen to four parts of
hydrogen. The Germans have been ex-
perimenting for many years to get some
plan by which the nitrogen of the air
could be gotten in such shape as to be
available for fertilizing, and this pro-
duction of it as a by-product of the gas
producer engine is one of the most
hopeful yet suggested.

..Tbe Tattered Banners-
(By James Newton Matthews)
Take back the tattered banners
From the laughing light of day,
In the twilight and the silence
Lay them tenderly away;
You have blest them thro' the years
You have kissed them with your tears,
You have rushed with them to glory
In rhapsody of cheers.
Where their rainbow beauty beckoned
You have followed, you have stood,
When the blood of brothers eddied
AT your feet a purple flood
In the dreadful days agone
You have borne them on and on,
Till the night of carnage ended
In the splendor of the dawn.
Every star upon those banners
Is a DidZlng dla0enn,
Set there by Freedoms fingers
When she consecrated them
In holocaust Of strife,
As she painted for her life.
Midst the thunder and the tumult
OF the trumpet. drum and fife.
Every broken, battered staff
Over which your flags are furIed
Was crutch the Nation leaned on
AS she watched the doubling world,
Proud in all her queenly splendor,
Yet with loving heart and tender.
Waiting for each holy promise
Which the God of right might send
her.
Take back the tattered banners
And let not a tear drop gleam
AS you yield them to the ages
That are moving like a dream,
Down the long and lighted way,
To the glad and golden day.
Which your valor purchased for thorn
In the old, historic fray.
Take back the tattered banners;
Let their sisterhood of stars
Light the inner shrines of Freedom
Till Eternity unbars
The fields of Asphedel,
Where the martyred heroes dwell,
And the symphonies seraphic
In unending chorus swell.
