BENEFIT OF MINING INTEREST
Mining Experimental Stations to 3.
tablished.

Mining Experimental Stations to Be
tablished.
Mining men of Deadwood are advo-
eating certain changes in the bill for
mining experimental stations which
has been favorably reported upon by
the committee on mines and mining.
This bill, as introduced by Represen,
tatice Martin, authorizes the secretary
Of commerce and labor to establish at
his discretion, in each of the states,
mining experimental station. He
also to appoint at each station an ex-
pert geologist. He is authorized to
spend sum not to exceed $4,000 in
establishing, equipping and maintain
ing each Of the stations created. 1t
is the duty ot this geolog.st and chem
list to analyze, for any citizen of the
United States at nominal charge
samples of all mineral-bearing sub
stances and to determine the exact
amount Of mineral in the sample.
They are also required to make clas-
sification or assays of samples of rock,
cement, clay, etc. The geologist is
also expected to explore and examine
the mineral regions within his juris-
diction.
Mining men have advanced the be-
lief that such an office would be over
loaded with the work Of assaying
rock, much of which has no special
value, as enthusiastic prospectors
would take up the larger part of the
time Of such officials. The change
suggested by men familiar with con-
ditions Is that one of two high class
chemists be employed to work in con-
nection with the mills with view to
ascertaining methods by which a
larger percentage Of the ore values
could be saved. At present but few
companies save more than rs per
cent of the assay value of their ore.
through the Homestake, when it's new
shines plant is completed, will save
practically all the gold. 1t is esti.
mated that nearly s1.O00,0O0 is car
ried off annually from the tailings of
the cyanide plants of the Black Hills
alone, and that if some method could
be discovered by which these values
could be saved it would mean much
not only to the mining district itself,
but to the country in general.

MIST is MYSTERY.
Phenomenon Is Said to Be Sign Of
Earthquake.

Phenomenon Is Said to Be a Sign Of
Earthquake.
Word has been brought from Piolo
Creek of an unusual happening at a
porphyry dixie on the southern spur
of Sheep mountain. At different times
men working near the dixie have OBJ
served mist or vapor rising from it.
This would last about an hour and
then would pass away without leaving
any trace. Various causes have been
given for this phenomenon.
One observer has noted that the va
por rises just before an earthquake
In one case it was noted before the
severe earthquake in Italy, and again
prior to an earthquake which did
some damage on the Isthmus of Pan
anna.
The explanation most generally ac-
cepted is that the mountain overlies
cave similar to the Wind cave near
Hot Springs, and that when certain
atmospheric conditions obtain the
wind rushes up from the cave through
cracks near the dixie.

MAKING ROAD SURVEY.

Boundary.
Duluth, Feb. 25.- A large crew Of
engineers, working under the direction
of E. T. Abbott of Minneapolis, is en-
gagged in surveying a line for rail
road from Guntlint lake, on the inter-
national boundary between Minnesota
and Canada, to Highland, on the Du-
luth & Iron Range road. The proposed
road is nearly ninety miles in length
and runs in southwesterly direction
from Gunflint lake to the station
named on the Iron Range road. The
line evidently contemplates a connec-
ton with the old Port Arthur, Duluth
& Western, which is now owned by the
Canadian Northern, near Gunflint lake,
and looks as if the projectors contem-
plate a connection that will give Du-
luth very direct line to the Canadian
Heal Of the Lakes.
