Not Under Martial Law.

San Francisco.-San Francisco Is
not under the ban of martial law and
has not been from the beginning.
There has been a general misunder-
standing among the troops themselves.
The report that Mayor Schmitz Is at
the head of all patrolling and merely
assisted by the troops has been Off
cially confirmed. The officers of the
army have stated that they are work
ing subject to any restricting order
from the mayor. Almost all of the
stories of rash violence on the part OF
the troops are flimsy rumors. The
regular troops are working in accord
with instructions from the mayors Of
fee.

NEWS FROM The MINES and M|LLS|
To Study in the Field.

The senior class of the Colorado
School of Mines started April 22d on
an extended trip through the mining
regions of the West. The students are
accompanied by DR.. Anderson, presi-
dent Of the faculty, and Professors
Young, Patton, Muldane, Hoskins and
Traphagen.
An extended trip is made for ad-
vanced work in geology, metallurgy
and mining, to points in Colorado,
Utah, Montana, and South Dakota. H.
lustrating lecture work in these sub
jects, this trip gives the prospective
engineer a splendid opportunity to
round out his collegiate work and en-
ables him to get more closely in touch
with actual practice. The points visited
include Colorado Springs, Pueblo
Florence, Portland, Canon City, Lead
Vile and Aspen in Colorado; Bingham,
Murray, Salt Lake, Park City, Eureka,
Milford, Frisco and Newhouse, in
Utah; Butte and Anaconda, Montana,
and Deadwood and Lead, South Da-
kota.
In connection with so extensive a
trip many and constant opportunities
are given to study the relationship Of
geology to mountain formation and to
physiographic forms. In addition to
such general observation special oppor-
tinities are given to study geological
features in detail. This is especially
true of the interesting geology of
the Garden of the Gods at Manitou,
and of the equally interesting problems
involved in the ore deposits of Lead
vile, Aspen, Butte and other mining
districts.
Iron, copper, zinc and lead smelling
may all be studied on the trip, as well
as cyanidation and chlorination Mag
netic concentration and electro-metal-
lurgy are important features and wet
concentration as illustrated at Ana
conda, Park City and Aspen receives
careful study. Metallurgically the trip
is of great value and most of the i'm
portant processes are shown under
standpoint the trip illustrates the eco-
standpoint the trip illustrates the ece-
nomic mining and handling of low
grade ores and especially the general
design, equipment. and organization OF
the mine plant. The special features
include mining methods, pumping and
timbering at Leadville, mining meth
DDS and wire rope trans at Bingham
and Park City; mine plant at New
house; and general mining practice
and organization at Butte.
Detailed work is assigned each stu
dent according to his preference and
there is splendid opportunity to make
study of special conditions, opera
tions and machinery. The results of
each students Investigations are care
fully criticised and he is required to
prepare complete report on the work.

The Prime of Life.

The larger part of the great for
tunes Of this country have been accu-
mulated after their amassers have
passed 40. In fact, writes o. S. Mar
den, in Success Magazine, the first 40
years of a mans life are the prepara-
tory years, the years of training and
discipline. A large part of this time
he is laying the foundation-just get
ting ready to rear the superstructure.
Many Of us stumble around many
years before we get into the right
place, and then, for additional years,
we make many mistakes. Most men
do not get wise until they have passed
10. They may get knowledge before
this. but not much wisdom. Wisdom
is ripening process. 1t takes time.
At the age when DR.. Osler thinks men
are becoming useless. Lincoln was
trying to get an appointment as a
land commissioner, and failed. At the
same age nobody outside of his own
little community knew Ulysses s..
Grant. He had not then accomplished
anything Of note, and yet he became
the greatest military figure of his day.
Every man makes his own dead line.
Some reach 1t at 35, some at 40, some
at 80; some do not reach 1t at 80;
some never reach it, because they
never cease to grow.

buildings and clearing the streets Of
San Francisco's devastated district
toiled on yesterday and good progress

"A sharp earthquake shock was felt
at San Francisco at 10:30 o'clock to-
night. 1t lasted about three seconds
and was from east to west. No dam
age has been reported.
Thousands of poorly-clad and shell.
terless people camped in the parks and
sand hills, shivered in their wet cloth

voted their efforts to securing any
kind of shelter for the women and chill
dren, the aged and the weak.
Four street car lines are ready for
operation as soon as the mayor allows
the power to be turned on.
A heavy rain Sunday night and yes
terday cooled the smoking ruins and
extinguished several small fires.
The water supply is still scanty in
some parts of the city and will be until
broken mains are relaid.
The distribution of food is sys.
tematic and the supply plentiful.
Members of a self-constituted vigi-
lance committee yesterday killed Maj
H. c. Tilden, prominent citizen, mem.

The capitol guide was telling two New
England school-teachers in the senate
gallery interesting things about the
senators below. There are several of
them" he said, that have eaten too
many society dinners and drunk too
much firewater." "Oh, how dreadful in
our public men!" said one Of the teach
ers. But there is Senator Lodge. He
doesn't drink. does he?" "Oh, no" re-
piled the guide. He is teetotaler. He
even thins his water" Such are the

4 special report from the depart

A special report from the depart
ment Of agriculture at Washington
gives interesting information about
food exports from the United States.
Among other things it is shown that
the United Kingdom Of Great Britain
and Ireland is one of our best customers.
and that about half of its meat supply
comes from America. There is not
wanting proof that great deal of the
"roast beef of old England" once
roamed the prairies of the United States
under the lively supervision of the
Yankee cowboy.

Danger of Dullness.

"Dullness," says a writer. "is re-
sponsible for a large amount of human
error and misery. The danger of dull
ness" he goes on to say, in learned
and interesting way, 'is the danger of
complacently lingering among stupid
and conventional ideas, and losing all
the bright interchange of the larger
world. The dull people are not, as
rule, the simple people-they are gen.
orally provided with narrow and
self-sufficient code; they are often en-
tirely self-satified. and apt to disap-
mantle and vigorous. Simplicity, as
a rule, is either a natural gift, or else
can be attained only by people of
strong critical powers, who will, firm.
ly and vigorously, test, examine and
weigh motives, and arrive through
experience at a direct and natural
method of dealing with men and cir
cumstances. True simplicity is not an
inherited poverty of spirit; it is rath'
er like the poverty of one who has
deliberately discarded what is ham,
pering, vexatious and unnecessary, and
has learned that the art of life con.
sisists in dsentangling the spirit from
all conventional claims in living by
rather than by tradition and author.
Ity. l do not say that the dull peo-
pie are not probably in way the
happier people; l suppose that any
thing that leads to self-satisfaction is,
IN sense, cause of happiness; but
1t is not species of happiness that
people ought to pursue. Perhaps one
ought not to use the word dullness,
because it may be misunderstood. The
kind of dullness of high degree. not
only by practical, but even of mental
ability. l know several people of very
great intellectual people who are mod
els of dullness. Their memories are
loaded with what is no doubt very val
liable information. and their conclu-
sions are of the weightiest character;
but they have no vivid perception. no
Rlertness, they are not open to new
ideas, they never say an interesting or
suggestive thing; their presence is a
load on the spirits of a lively party,
their very facial expression is a re-
buke to all light-mindedness and triv-
iality. Sometimes these people are
silent, and then to be in their pres
ence is like being in thick mist;
there is no outlook. no enlivening pros
pect. Sometimes they are takers; and
and l am not sure that that is not even
worse, because they generally dis
course on their own subjects with pro-
found and serious conviction. They
have no power of conversation, be-
cause they are not interested in any
one else's point of view; they care no
more who their companions are than
pump cares what sort Of vessel is
put under it-they only demand that
people should listen in silence.

SPLENDID COMPANY
ALL THIS WEEK

One of the very best popular pric-
ed companies that has ever visited
Clarksburg, is at the Grond this

new to theatre patrons, it is destined
to become staunch favo~iie. il TIE
general excellence Of the plays .hus
far presented is maintained through

Monday night with an elaborate pro-
duction of the four-act pastoral play
'E0ut of the Fold" and the entLus-
iastic reception accorded the play
and players by the large and appre-
ciative audience present indicated
sufficiently that a "hit" had been
scored.
In spite of the Indictment weather
the attendance last night was again
large, and "Fhe Red Gross Nurse"
a four-act semi-military play, pre-
sented with a lage amount Of spec
ial and handsome scenery gave SPLEEN
did satisfaction. The company is
not only the best that has been here.
but carries more scenery than the
average one night stand production,

WEST VIRGINIA'S
COAL WEALTH

Speaking of the coal production
of West Virginia, the Charleston
Mail says that Harrison county in
the past eight years has increased
its production ten fold and an an
nual tonnage Of 2,56O,OOO.
1t is estimated that there are TO-
100000 acres Of workable coal with
in the State, and allowing 1000
tons as an average for each acre
there are 1920, 100000 tons with
in the State, which at the rate of a
yearly production Of 100000 tons
would take l,0SO years 10 exhaust
the supply.
At the present time there are 700
operating commercial mines within
the State employing $4,000 employees
and producing over 35,OOO,OO0 tons
per year. 1t is safe to say that fully
100000 acres are under development
" hoout U L" per cent. OF the total
area Of coal.
Out of the s. counties in the State
there are ~ in which coal mining is
conducted on commercial scale.
Reference to the yearly production
at ten year periods viii show the
rapid growth of the industry.
In 1868 the production was a.
GAS tons.
In 1873 the production was 619,-
900 tons.
j, In 1888 the production was o.
3S5,S33 tons.
f3s,755 tons.
337, 241 tons.
In 1905 the production estimated
was 3S,O0O,OOO tons.

about 9 o'clock, yet fully six hours be-

fore it happened the following state

to have pine-bark stew concocted by
Charlie Mason. The dinner was spread
under Brunson's mill-shed. and there
was q profusion of good things to eat.
Everybody was served boutifully and
seemed to enjoy the repast.
After dinner the crowd went to a
field in front OF Mr.. Frank Herring
tons to witness a game of ball between
Foreston and Greelyville. The ground
was rough and so was the playing, a
part of the time only piece of a bat
was used. Burnett Land demonstra-
ted good pitching qualities, and with
practice would make his mark on the
diamond. We left before the game
ended, but last accounts showed tores-
town still making scores. Greelyvllle,
so Mood Connor says, was only batting
Foreston to tempt them to go to Gree
leyville where genuine drubblng
awaits them. The whole affair was
very enjoyable.
