COIL MINING.

One Of the biggest expenses
connected with coal mining is
found in the mine timbers used
to support the various gang
ways. Their destruction by
decay and breaking costs many
hundreds Of Thousands of dollars
annually and in some cases the
loss of human life, Mine oper-
ators are fully familiar with
these losses. They know also
that the seasoning and the pre-
sentative treatment of timber
add to its life in service in the
mine. Butt has only recently
been established by experiment

~ANTI-PASSAND PRIMARY

A Pierre special says: From
Authorizations there will be no
lack of ideas in the coming
Legislative session in regard to
primary election and anti-pass
legislation. A number of mem
bers will come to the session
with bills prepared for these
two laws and out Of the multi
plicity of ideas which will be
embodied some measure which
will be acceptable will be passed
as a compromise. The effort
will be made to secure the, pas
sage ofthe primary election bill
as an emergency measure to
put it into effect at once, and
prevent any attempt to invoke
thereferendum on the measure
and delay its going into effect.

ditions the members can give
their constituents a little outing
with but slight expense and al
them to come to the capital and
see the members in action, all
of which would be cut off by
too hasty action on an anti-pass
bill, and it will be allowed to
more than likely go with the
laws which will not be in effect
until after adjournment.
Other measures which will be
presented will be the Torrens
system of land transfers, equal
suffrage, and amended liquor
laws. With these will be the
usual gist of miscellaneous
measures of the special legis-
lation cases which masquerade
under the guise of general laws
to escape the constitutional pro-
vision against such legislation.

est Service, has resulted liz an
economy which demonstrates
that the preservation of mine
props can be put on a firm COM
mercial basis.
In the loss of mine timbers
at least 60 per cent are destroy
ed by decay and the remainder
by crush. The percentage
charged to decay should be
even higher, because many Of
the timbers which break have
already been weakened by de-
cay. Decay is probably the
cause Of Is per cent Of all fail
ures in mine timbers.
Decay in props is principally
caused by Notwithstanding
fungi. Warm, moist air, to-
gether with certain gases always
found in mines, greatly favors
the development of these fungi.
Ventilation is an enormous fac
tor. Timber in the vicinity of
shafts and Stops where there
is abundance of fresh air lasts
longer than that deeper in the
mines. The variation of moist-
ure and temperature within
mines is so vide that timbers
may decay in eight months or
may last several years.
Timbers that are constantly wet
or constantly dry last longer
than those subjected to an al
teration of these conditions.
Insects play a very consider
able part in the destruction Of
mine timbers. Many forms are
found, including bark borers,
ants, and timber worms. Their
presence may be due to allow
ing logs to lie unpeeled for a
considerable time after felling.

these easy stages that those OF
us so inclined were enabled to
leave the train at times and go
off prospecting. Thus were we
enabled to bring back slabs Of
stone that was once wood, and
other curios. There were those
of the passengers who claimed
to have located placer prospects
and also those who found the
germ of an echo left in the can
yon by the late Wild Bill in 6S.
Thus the day long we crept up
under the shadows of the silent

a TRIP TO MYSTIC

a TRIP TO MYSTIC
1t was the pleasure OF the
erstwhile editor last Sunday to
satisfy a desire of some two
months standing. 1t was to go
to tracks end, SO to speak, OF
the Missouri River & North
western OF the Crouch Lines
which is a more familiar term
hero. It was to go to the end
of thisline which ends in the
heart Of the Black Hills, at a
station laid down on the map
with the mythical name OF
Mystic. It was a warm October
day, this second Of December,
was, when the editor and others
took seats in the coach that wiser
tourists said woodland us in the
Mecca Of the wierd scenes OF
the far-famed hills, Mystic.
For some occult reason the
train was bulletined forty min
utes late. That was accepted
as official and not afterward
discussed, and SO the little train
of freight cars and coach with
its smart little engine, steamed
westward to the pine-clad mills,
where the waters Of Rapid river
and Castle Greek laugh the day
long and make music to the
echoes Of the dark canyons.
The road follows closely the
sinuous windingso of this famous
mountain stream, all the way
up the ascent and, if a snake
were to have made the prelim-
mary survey Of the Crouch Line
to Mystic it would have been
accepted, for the engineers
could see no. other alternative
than to follow the bed Of the
stream. There are cuts, how
ever, as we go up, that had to
be made through the solid rock,
and we pass through them and
tho natural walls Of the noun
tains, and look up at the pine
and nr growing.out Of the rocks,
as from the bottom of a well,
two or three hundred feet deep.

sheered off to the left, and /
