LONG BEACH
WANTS SHELTER

1t is stated that Long Beach may OBJ
tain the big million dollar smelter
planned by Arizona and Nevada min
ing men and capitalists. 1t is known
that A. D. Myers. the mine owner, who
will build a 100000 residence on the
ocean bluff at Long Beach, is strongly
III favor of locating the smelter on the
coast.
A deal is now pending between the
syndicate and the Salt Lake railroad,
whereby the latter will donate a site
on land to be filled in on the inner bay
of San Pedro.
The smelter is said to be one Of the
industries which the Salt Lake rail-
road is striving to get, and which 1t
desires to locate on the tidelands now
in dispute.
The Bixby interests also are known

and work is progressing rapidly. The
rock cuts in Armagosa canyon are not
finished, although it has been expected
that the grade through the canyon
would be completed before this date.
The track has been laid three miles far

SHASTA COUNTY
COPPER MINES
AFTERTHnUGHT OUTPUT WILL
BE ENORMOUS
Great Western Company, Operating
the Ineot SmeIter, Will Construct
Railroad for Shipping
Purposes

Considerable interest centers in the
development of the rich copper mines
in the vicinity of Reading, Shasta
county, California. The mines prom
Use to be among the largest producers
OF the red metal in the state, the yield
for the past year showing increased
values.
The field of operations is commented
upon by the Redding Mineral Wealth
In detail. The journal states that the
most active producer in Shasta county
during the past year. after the Mann
moth Copper company, was the Great
Western company, operating the After
thought mine and he 1ngot smelter.
Afterthought a Leader
The Afterthought mine is located
about twenty-five miles northeast Of
Redding, and about twelve miles from
Bella Vista, it's nearest railroad point
The company began it's first successful
runs a year ago last August and since
that time has more than doubled the
capacity of its plant at Ingot and has
made very extensive developments upon
its ground.
The east side belt, extending from
the Afterthought mine at Ingot to the
Bully Hill mine at De Lamar is en-
west side of the Sacramento river.
While the copper is generally asso-
ciated with the rhyolite the ore occurs
in well defined assures, and while the
ore bodies are lenticular in form, eX-
rloration at depth has proved that
these lenticular masses containing large
ore tonnages are going down to great
depths. At the Afterthought IS well
as at Bully Hill the best developments
on the mines have been made at the
greatest depth so far obtained, which
in each case Is well below he level
Of surface drainage.
The Ingot smelter originally consist
ed of one comparatively small furnace.
A second furnace 42X150 inches In
dimensions at the tuyeres, was in
stalled during the past year. md has
been In commission since last June
The smelter is connected with the mine
by a short line OF team railroad, and
the ore is loaded directly into the cars
from chutes in the mine and is un-
loaded In the ore yards without any
additional handling.
The lowest level Of the mine and its
main working tunnel Is driven into the
mountain from a point about twenty
five feet above the north fork of Cow
creek. This bore penetrates the noun
tain over half a mile. 1t Is 8XS feet
IN size and is we'll lighted and ven
tilated. From this level a shaft kas
been started to open ore at additional
depth. At a point fifty feet below the
level a cross-cut In the ore disclosed
a width Of sixty-eight feet and fifty
five OF the ore exposed In the cross
cut carries good copper and silver

The Earth as a Bell.

Studies of the violent earthquake
which occurred in the Balkan penin-

Oddone, professor in the University Of
Pavia, show that the shocks were
transmitted through the entire body
of the earth, and were reflected from
the antipodes back to their place Of
origin in about 33 minutes. Compar-
ing the records OF other great earth
quakes, Or. Oddone concludes that
the average time required for vibra-
tion to traverse tho globe and return
by reflection is from 80 to SO minutes.

when it became known last summer
that diamonds had been found in Ar

DENTISTRY OF LONG AGO.
Proof That AncIents Had Some De.

While unthoughtful moderns regard
dentistry as being virtually a science
of our own age, archaeologsts know
that 1t was practiced among the an
clients. The museums Of Rome and
other places In Italy possess various
specimens OF dentists work dating
from before Christ, and another such
specimen has recently been discover.

a tomb at Teano. The skeleton Is
that OF n woman, and from the jaws
there was extracted q gold mount
containing six teeth. A peculiar fact
about the find is that the teeth, al.
though tapped" with gold, were un.
doubtedly natural and the theory is
that the ancients used gold flaps or
rims to steady loose teeth. For arti.
fetal teeth the dentists of the old
world had a fancy for animal teeth,
especially bovine, by reason of their
hardness, though occasionally a per.
son in poverty would sell one for suf
ficient compensation.
