At the Anaconda.

w. c. McNutt, consulting engineer
for the. Graham-Ross Mining Co., re-
turned Tuesday from visit to their
Anaconda property on Fall creek, near
Newsome, and reports that the long
mill tunnel is now nearing the ledge and
may cut it at any moment. This will
give depth of about 43O feet on the
lead, and if the ore continues as good
at this depth as in the shaft, which was
sunk to a depth of $50 feet, the mine
will become big producer in the near
future.

DREDCE NEWSOME CREEK
Chicago Company VIII Put in Big Ma
chine This Spring.

w. G. Otterson of Seattle, represent
ing Chicago mining company, arrived
in Newsome week ago and is now en-
gagged in the preliminaries to putting a
big dredge in Newsome creek. Several
men are prospecting the stream to de-
termine the best point for the company
to begin operations. The sawmill has
been ordered and is expected to arrive
in Sites any day.
The Newsome dredge will contain
parts which will mark it an innovation
in this particular branch of mining; the
machine will be provided with falling
carrier of such length as will dump the
worked-over gravel outside the stream.
By this arrangement, the machine will
be free to move in it's own, channel.
The new attachments adds considerably
to the cost of old pattern machines.
Newsome creek is said to contain as
rich placer deposits as was ever found
in Idaho, but it requires expensive ma
chinery to get the gold.

MINING NEWS IN BRIEF
FROM NEARBY DISTRICTS

~
district should be by way of Elk City
and Dixie, and that the mail should go
this way instead Of from Boise. Snow
on the Boise road is serious obstacle
to travel, and the past winter the camp
was without mail for two and three
weeks at time. Mr.. Janson says there
is good trail from Dixie to Salmon
river, but south of the river the trail is
poor and there is heavy grade for
eight miles.
Chamberlain basin is settling up rap
idly by ranchers, and for this reason
there is bright, prospect that better
highways will be had soon..

PLACERS TO WORK SOON.
Owners are Anxious to Stdrt Early and
Get Benefit of Melting Snow.

Activity among placer miners, which
started over week dgo, has been even
more noticeable this week than last, it
being the desire of all owners to get to
work early so as to take advantage of
the water from the spring freshets and
the melting snow. Last year at this
time, and for several years back, the
snow was nearly or quite all gone, and
the placer workers depended upon the
streams being swollen by the equinoc-
tial storms.
This season ought, to be good one
for placer miners; the snow is not yet
gone in the valley, and only the bare
spots of earth on the south hillsides
bear natural evidence that spring is
here. On the mountains, in the foot
hills and places where the heat of the
sun is less effective the snow is from a
few inches to several feet in depth.
The placer miner is smiling, but saw

BILL
is SIGNED
Governor Gooding Approves
Of Bill for $4,000 for
Elk City Road,

House Bill No. 129, by Surridge, Cas-
sell and Williams, asking for an appro-
priation of $4,000 from the state to be
used in improving the Elk City wagon
road, was signed, by the governor the
first of last week. The fact that the
bill was among the first to receive the
signature of the governor after the adj
journment of the legislature, and that
so many bills failed at his hands, speaks
well the opinion Governor Gooding has
of the Elk City mining district. 1t is
evident the governor has positive be-
lief that this district has value and that
it will repay and yield returns for all
the money the state contributes in aid
ing it at this time.
The bill was an omnibus bill, carrying
an appropriation for the purchase of the
Kooskia toll road, and constructing a
trail to the Marshall Lake district. But
$4,000 of the appropriation goes for i'm
provement of the Elk City wagon road,
the county to contribute an equal sum.
Work on the road is to be started
soon after the first of May, this year.

Modern Use in Alaska of an Anci-
ent Hydraulic Invention.
UTILIZING THE WATER
Alaska Miner Has Simple Way to Raise
Water from Streams.

People living in sparsely-settled
or frontier regions, and who are
denied many of the luxuries of
modern civilization, would profit
by studying the simple but ingeni-
GUS expedients which went to
make up the civilization of the
ancients, says the Scientific
American. One of the readers of
the Scientific American, in the
gold regions of Alaska, has thus
profted by his acquaintance with
ancient hydraulics. Mr.. J. M.
Weldon is a placer miner, and in
his work requires some means of
raising water for washing the
gold-bearing gravel. At the
Forty-Mile River, where Mr..
Weldon is conducting his opera
tions, it is entirely impractical to
convey the water by ditch from
some higher level, because the
river bottom lands are underlaid
with glacier ice. Several at
tempts were at first made to thus
convey the water, but no sooner
was the water turned into the
ditch than it melted a hole in the
bottom and ran out. Hole after
hole was flumed across, but still
the water found it's way through
the ice bottom. 1t was then that
Mr.. Weldon bethought himself of
a primitive pump which he had
seen pictured in one of his early
school books. The pump con-
sisted of gutter or trough
mounted to rock like a seesaw in
a stream or other body of water,
so that the ends would alternately
be submerged. and on rising
would deliver the water they
scooped up to a trough leading
from the fulcruhd of the pump.
This apparatus offered promis-
ing solution of the difficulties at
Forty-Mile River, Tor with it the
necessary water for sluicing could
be raised directly from the river
wherever desired.
The pump was built on a point
which jutted out into the water.
AS shown in the engravings. a
framework is erected at the end
of this point. Mounted to rock
4 on the framework is beam %
I feet long, provided with a large
scoop at each end. The scoops
consist of open boxes provided
4 with Waived bottoms, which per-
4 NIT them to fill as soon as they
! touch the water. The boxes are
tilted inward, or toward the
j center of the beam. The inner
end of each box opens into a
10-inch canvas hose. which con-

Radio-activity Greatest Discovery in
Physical Science to Date.
THE MYsTET'Y OF LIFE
Discovery Carries Story of Evolution
Back One Century.

The discovery of the property
of matter known as radio-activity
is probably the most important
achievement of physical science
since Newton taught us to under
stand gravitation, says Mining
and Scientific Press. 1t has ad-
vanced otr knowledge of the
physical constitution of the uni
verse nearly as much as the work
of Darwin advanced biological
theories as to the origin of life.
The twentieth century, indeed,
promises to carry the story of
evolution one stage farther back
than did the nineteenth. Darwin
has enabled us to see how the
process of evolution, dinly guess
ed at by philosophers and poets
for twenty centuries, may actually
take place in that still mysterious
entity which we call living mat
ter; how the structureless cells of
protoplasm, which were almost
certainly the first representatives
of life on the earth, have, through
the lapse of uncounted band i'm
mortal ages, given birth to man
himself and all his high hopes
and wonderful works. The chem
lIts and physicists who have been
working at radio-activity for the
last twenty years have carried
the process Of evolution farther
back, and applied it to inanimate
matter. Till within the last gen
GRAFTON the atom as defined by
Dalton was the ultimate concept
of the student of Nature. Every
material substance was found to
be composed of the so-called
atoms of some sixty or seventy
elementary bodies, which no
method known in our laboratories
> or discovered in Nature could
split up into simpler forms. These
atoms were thought, to be indivis-
ible, permanent; with no visible
beginning and no apparent end.
But we are in the full glamor
of the discovery that these atoms
themselves are but highly compli-
Gated arrangements of still small
Ter entities, the 'corpuscles' which
Professor J.J. Thomson predicted
many years ago from mathemati-
cal considerations, and which the
recent researches into radio-aet-
ivity have definitely established
as existing under the name, Of
electrens. 1t is now Believed that
every atom is a system of these
tiny electrons, which are In con-
stant motion like that of the plan
cts of our solar system, and owe
their remarkable stabilitXto that
very motion. Some atoms, like
that of hydrogen, consist only of
: a feW hundreds of these e1ectrons,
while others, like that of radium
itself, probably contain hundreds
) of thousands of them. These
electrons are thought to be all
precisely similar, and it is prob
able that they constitute that
primitive UR-STOFF, or primodial
matter, which many spectators
have held to be the foundation of
the material universe. Further,
it is, practically certain thatithey
are closely related to electricity,
