HEROISM INVOKED

Especial attention is paid to reading, for
the good japanese mother must be able to tell
her Sons stories of heroes, intrepid fighters and
of the fearless gods. 1t Is she who evokes the
dauntless spirit so vaGantly displayed at Port
Arthur. To her daughters she must tell fairy
tales of noble wives anG unselfsh mothers
And morel The time that the student a.
Nassar spends IN trying 10 remember Latin
names and classifying botanical specimens IS
devoted in the japanese college TO practical
garden work Young Miss Flower Blossom will
learn the symbolism of flowers, how - plant
them IN order and convey mystical meanings.
The girls are taught that they are to do a
great deal in the way of preserving and trans
mitting the manners and traditions of the coun-
try. Consequently, much about the college life
and environment is symbolic.
Even the entrances to the buildings are en-
blematic-the broad doorways typifying the
wider life open to the woman Of education,
swhile the blossoming cherry trees lining the
paths represent the japanese spirit.
The university Is a combination Of college
and girls boarding school Board IS less than
81 a month; the tuition charge is $3.50.
Many English and American professors
and women teachers. are on the faculty of the
university. Within a short time elementary
schools and a kindergarten connected with the
institution viii be opened

get her hand on-at you. And she'd be justified
In doing so if you told her this her only

Granting that the japanese are an observ-
ant and, many writers say, initiative people, it
is probable that they took notes at Vassar. They
were probably impressed t-erc by the way the
fair talked, the way they went botan-
ical jaunts and studied various "ologies"
Anyway, the Japs decided to open a uni
versity for women, which they did in 1900. This
institution has been gradually growing in favor,
and the Japs planning more ambi-
tious future for it.
At the beginning 800 regular students were
enrolled, while 500 more took courses in the
high schools connected with the university pre-
paratory to entering 1T.
The express object was formulated as fol-
lows:

During the first year there were ZOO sub
scribers, among them the foremost men of the
empire. Marquis Ito took a personal interest
In the new institution Count O1uma, MARQUIS
Sayonji, Minister of Education Kubota, Prince
Konoze and Baron Shibusawa, the great fnan-
cier, were active In its establishment
Their united efforts resulted In the magnif-
cent buildings which now stand on beautiful
grounds just outside of Toxic, the first insti-
tuition of its kind in the land of the Rising Sun.

furnish a certificate from a weIl-known citizen
OF Toxic, who makes himself responsible for
her good behavior
Any student who cannot keep up with her

Perhaps the curriculum will surprise you
There are three courses, covering three years

There are flower dances at the Toxic
University for Women; indeed, the purpose
of the institution Is to preserve old tradi-
tions as well as to acquire the best of modern
learning And then there are club exercises
swinging exercises, hoop plays, hag-waylng
movements and hower-basket marches.
Eve wish to be honOrably athletic" they
viii tell you. Their instructors believe in
the cultivation of bodily strength and grace
as well as mental superiority.
Outdoor life of Vassar in some ways
compares strikingly with that of the stu
dents IN the Vassar Of japan. At Vassar the
girls study botany, and occasionally take a
trip over to see John Burroughs. But IN
Japan the girls go in for garden culture
the real thing. One can almost hear the men
whisper, "One point better"
One of the remarkable features of the
American institution Is the lack of restraint,
the delightful freedom of the girls. In this
respect it must be confessed that the students
of the japanese institution are, to some ex-
-cut under lock and key, so to say

NINE FEET OF RICH ORE
IN SIGHT ON KIRBY LEASE

Nine feet of high-grade ore and no
hanging wall in sight is the situa-
ton on the 150-foot level of the
Kirby lease on the Nevada Hills
proposition at tairview, according to
a telegram received here by w. H.
Clark, secretary of the Nevada Hills
company. The ore body is thus wild
er on the 150-foot level than it is
on the 100; how much wider is not
known. And every pound is ship
ping ore-nothing in it will run less
than 500 ton and there are seams
that run much higher. The high
grade feature is characteristic of
the Nevada Hills, the ore in the COM
pany workings being also shipped as
it is broken down.
4 .4e lessees have run drifts about
200 feet either way on the vein on
the 100-foot level and they are keep
ing two hoists busy in the double
compartment shaft taking out the
high-grade ore. Drifting is also I'M
der way on the 150-foot level, where
the vein has just been encountered
and crosscut for nine feet. The
shaft is well on the way to the 200
foot level. The lease expires on Oct.
1. 1t is equipped for rapid work
and there is no doubt that more than
100000 will be taken out before it
expires.
The lease workings are fully 200
feet east of the easternmoSt work
ings of the company. thus proving
the vein for that added distance in
Nevada Hills. ground.

bin from the outside, passes by gray
ity through a 1920 cruSher of the
Gates type, and is taken in by No.
l elevator, by which means it is
raised fifty-seven feet and passes
through a No. sampler, where a
sample is cut and then again recut
by another like appliance, and final
ly is conveyed to the sampling floor.
The bulk of the ore goes down into
No. 2 ore bin, where it is assembled
and fed through the roughing rolls.
From this il goes by another big
elevator and comes to trammel.
Here they get their first classical
ton. The oversize from this tram
mel returns to the roughing rolls
while the undersize goes into a
double screen trammel. From this
last operation they get their first
reduced product, which is conveyed
direct to the amalgamation tables.
The oversize returns again to the
rolls floor for further reduction. This
process continues until the ore is
reduced by three grades of rolls
through a couple of systems of
screens to a 30-mesh and then it
finds its way to the amalgamation
tables.
In advance it is impossible to state
how often cleanup will have to be
made on these tables. 1t is thought
once day will be about the proper
regulation for cleaning up. The
tailings from the plates go direct to
the Wiley tables and on to the Frue
MANNERS. Concentrates are gathered
on this floor. There are seven tables
of the first kind and ten six-foot
Frue MANNERS.
From the concentration the tall
ings are de-hydrated and passes in
to the cyanide tanks These tanks
five in number, are 80 feet in dia-
meter and Is feet deep. During the
process of cyanidation the solution
is agitated by four-bladed paddle
fixed to vertical shaft in the center
of the tank. The gold solution, re-
ceives its final treatment through a
chain of 10 accompaniment zinc
boxes precipitated with zinc shaw
ings.

MANAGER OF MONTGOMERY
SHOSHONE VISITS NEW YORK

Donald Gillies, general manager
of the Montgomery-Shosh COM
pany, of Rhyolite, New, was in New
York on a flying trip yesterday and
left last night for Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh whence he will go to
Butte and then back to Nevada, says
the New York Commercial. The
plant at the mine, he says, will sure
ly go into commission by September
1st. The electric motor to furnish
the necessary power for the plant
will leave Pittsburgh for the west
in few days.
while our MILL" said Mr.. Gillies,
lis to work primarily on our own
ores, yet in order to accommodate
other mines of the district We will
be glad to set aside portion of the
mill for the custom work for time
at least so as to give the operators
of the Bullfrog district chance to
determine what they can accomplish
with their ORE
The company is making no effort
at extraction of ore for the market,
combining every energy to the block
ing .out of it's reserves for the day
when the big reduction plant under
construction may be able to handle
the output in sight. Even under
such conditions, however, the high
grade which gets in the way of the
workers accumulates so rapidly that
there are not available a sufficient
number of cars to carry 1t to the
smelters. Besides the shipping stuff
that gluts the workings, a tonnage
of milling ore is being lifted from
the lower levels and dumped for the
future attention of the mill. Some
of the choicest product is coming
from the Polaris diggings.
The mill as it stands embraces a
course of treatment of amalgama
ton, concentration and cyanidation.
1t Is not only built on large scale,
but it is complete in every detail,
fitted with all of the appliances
brought forth by modern science and
dependable to catch all of the values
To follow the ore from the mouth
of the shaft up to and over the 100
foot tram into the mill and through
the various ms and outs of the in
side works is an interesting study.

TWENTIETH CENTURY
AGE OF ELECTRICITY

Just as the Nineteenth century was
the age of steel, the Twentieth GEN.
fury, in it's beginning at least is the
age of electricity, and electricity de-
mands copper in ever increasing
quantities. For the last six decades
of the Nineteenth century, says the
Copper Handbook for 1906, just
published by Horace ]. Stevens, of
Houghton, Mich, the production of
the leading metals increased at the
rate of almost exactly IL per cent
compounded yearly, but in the last
decade of the century, copper left
the other metals behind, and for
fifteen years past the average ratio
of increase in copper production has
been per cent. This difference of
only one and one-half per cent, in
the ratio of yearly increase, may
seem small, but like the fable of the
horses shoes, for which the first nail
brought a penny, and each nail there
after was doubled in price, the Gu
mulative results are surprising, and
at the end of fifteen years have run
into hundreds of millions of dollars.
In 1881, quarter century past, the
worlds production of copper was
1880 long tons, worth an aver
age of Is cents per pound, giving a
total value of $65,000,000, in round
figures, while at the present moment
the copper mines of the world are
producing at the rate of nearly $780,
600 tons per annum, worth, with cop
per at little more than twenty cents
per pound, one million dollars for
every day in the year, or at the rate
of $365,000,000 for 1906-an in
| crease of almost five-fold in the
worlds copper bill, in quarter of a
century. With electricity finding
new uses daily and with a rapid ex-
| tension of electric energy for power,
| traction, and many other employ
ments, there is small hope that the
poor old world will be able to curtail
it's copper bill to any important ex-
tent, and every reason to believe that
the worlds copper, ten years hence,
will cost considerably more than the
worlds iron and steel cost ten years
| ago.
