UNIFORM STEPS.
With Them Many FnlIH DOwnatatPs
 Would Be Averted,

Falls on staircases are Of rather com mon occurrence, especially in houses where the stairs are steep. dark or built with sharp turns. The frequent causes of serious falls have suggesteu that the likelihood of accident of this kind would be lessened considerably if all steps were built according to a standard of height and breadth.
 A chilus fall Ou the stairs is apt to be bad enough, and for an adult it uay have serious consequences, hu' for an aged person t." result Is nOI unlikely to be fatal; hence 1t Is helC that the construction of staircaSes de serves more attention than Is ordina rIly paid to It.
 The trouble IS that stair climbing is not a natural method of progression for the human being. A child may learn to walk with ease, but it is a long time before 1t can ascend a stair way ID an upright position without losing its balance. Stairs have been brought about by necessity, however and the ordinary person has become so accustomed to them that he dashes uI and down them without paying an! more heed to his steps than If be wer walking on a surface level Motion be. comes purely mechanical, without any effort of will, and the muscles of the leg automatically adjust themselves so as to lift the foot to the height oi the steps on the stairway most fire uuently used. The sUICe unconscious. ly becomes adapted to a certain height In taking steps.
 This unconscious estimate of height often Is the cause of many falls. When Q different stairway is used the foot Is unaccustomed to the pitch, and hence a trip is likely to occur. On narrow and steep staircases there should be 8 hand rail on each side. The instinCtivg clutch following a stumble would mean the saving of many limbs and heads. But the surest way to obviate accidents would be to standardIze all stairways. at least in the matter of height.-New York Press.

FENCING OUT RATTLERS.
A PrecuutRon oI Animals That Man
 Uses to Advantage.

Uses to Advantage.
 Did you ever hear of a rattlesnakC feuce-not one made of rattlesnakes. of course not but one made of priCkly thorns to protect one from the rattlerS and keep them away? That is what the Arizona campers build. and th, only way 10 keep these deadly poison CTS away is by building one of thesr fences of oEtea, a shrub covered wit. thOrns which grows on the desert.
 As the tents nave no doors and are not set much above the ground, il would appear easy for Mir Rattler to effect Ln entrance. Imagine the sensa. tiou of crawling into bed some colo night to strike against the clammy skin of a snake. and this is just where Mir. Snake likes to snuggle, In among the warm blankets.
 To avoid this men who work in the mines have found that a snake will not go near this oktea. and they have built closely knit fences around their tents. with little gates to go In and out. and beyond this the rattler will not penetrate. It was first the In- dians of the desert who discovered this deadly shrub. and they got the secret from birds and animals. which, to pro tect their young, travel sometimes many miles back and forth, bringing the thorns with which to cover their little nests. Gophers and other small animals there cover their nests in this manner.
 It is strange that In that country, so dry and forbidding, many things grow in exuberance, and especially noticea- ble are the great fields of Brown Eyed Susans. the yellow daisies with the brown centers. They grow so high and wild that you can step in a field and your head will just peep over the top of the nodding sea of bright eyed faCes.-LoS Angeles Times.

railroad tie-up for the last week has caused the mining industry very lit- tie if any. inconvenience, owing to the excellent shape in which the sus- pension of railroad operations found it. A large supply of fuel. both oil and coal, has been accommodating here for months past and at the smelter the coke supply would last for several months if no more arrived There is also large reserve stock of sul- phides and concentrates.
 Development work has progressed without interruption at the old Do minion and with good results. Ire erosscut in Block No. on the 14th level is being driven through, which was not done in, the preceding one. The width of the No. 1 sulphide vein is only about seven feet in the new crosscut. but the ore Is much higher In iron and sulphur No. ? vein will be encountered some time this week as thirty feet of the horse which di- vides the two veins has been pene- trated. Work in the crosscut is rath- CT difficult owing to the water and mud which has been encountered. The winze that is being sunk from the 14th level is now 150 feet deep

Sinking in No. l shaft at the Me dora mine of the Keweenaw Copper company has now reached a depth of approximately 800 feet, and the cop per showing continues favorable. It l is estimated that there are now sp- wards of 30,000 tons of rock on the stockpile. which will yield l per cent copper. As the Medora lode carries large amount of calcite and pren- life in which atamn nrI nar iE ah,Ind- ant. it is safe to assume that the rock in the stockpile will average l per cent. There is also fair amount Of barrel and mass copper
 Ten drills are in use aI No 1 shaft Two are ia use in the shaft. being engaged in sinking and two in the drifts each way at the 225-foot. S75- fcot, 525-foot and 675.foot levels. A new compressor was installed a few weeks ago. It is a I5-dr;ll machine which, with the 10-drill compressor previously an commission, provides ample compressor capacity. The power plant also includes a hoist. good for depth of 1700 feet, and two C0-inch b~,ers of a capacity of 125-horsepower each.

the mill recently in place of eight figs and more copper is now being saved; the loss of copper in the tail ings is only one-sixteenth of 1 per cent. The new cylinder for the stamp which is expected to increase the ca pacity to FOO tons per day, was not delivered until August, although the contract called for it's delivery Jan. 20.
 The stopes in the mine look as well as they have at any time. There are ten lodes on the property south between the present workings and the eastern sandstone; crosscut south from the nineteenth level is being run to test these lodes: Ii is 1000 feet long now and has cut three lodes, but they did not carry copper in commercial values where encount. cred. No diamond drill work has been done. as it will be much more satisfactory in looking for the Baltic and other lodes to run a tunnel north and this has been started from the south side of the bluff, 2S5 feet below the collar of the shaft, and is now in between sixty and seventy feet.

No. 6 shaft, Isle Royale. is down to the 3d level, and some fair copper rock is being hoisted. although noth. ing like what came from the pocket that was encountered in opening the shaft says the Torch Lake Times.
 No. Is down about 60 feet, and from this point has come another lot of epidote copper, and a heap of it reminding one of the richness in places in the old Huron, now part of the Isle Royale mine. This shaft wants to go down before any fair es- timate can be made of the valRe of the lode at that point. The want to get into the vein, to show it's true character. However. the Isle Royale people are going after it, looking for copper values. and that is most com mendable, and no one can say what may or may not he disclosed.
 The Isle Royale is a big property. and may have more than one great mine in it's lands, and if it has the management is working to find it.

The work of the past sum mer has been of prospecting nature which has exposed large deposits of ere. both smclting and concentrating The oppper-iron in the open cut has a value approximately of three and one-half Der cent in copper, as 1t is mixed-besides this, 1t is valuable as fluxing agent. and is in great de msnd by the smeltng companies throughout the country. During his recent visit to Silver City MT. Brock man expressed himself as highly grat- flied with the mining outlook at Fferro.
 On the Emma. operated uDde- a lease by c. P. Cramer. body of high grade ore has been uncovered.

If this should prove to be true. carload ship rlents will in 6 very short time in crease to train loads.

SILVER CITY MINES.

SILVER CITY, N, NJ. Sept. 21.- The following facts about conditions tributary to Silver City were printed in the Independent:
 The old and well known Philadel- phia mine of the Hanover district is a bonanza. and carries shipping ore in the stope, winze, level and crosscut in the mine, which has for an initial point the present main shaft. At a depth of 100 feet drift has been run 145 feet. the greater portion If this distance being in ore of shipping grade. The top, bottom ani sides of the drift carry a high grade ehal- copyrite having a commercial ya.ue ranging from 10 to B per cent Tn copper, besides an appreciable amunnt of gold and silver. sufficient it is believed. to pay all expenses of mining transportation and smelting charges, leaving the copper a net profit. When the size oI the deposit is taken into consideTa ton, and the amount of first class ore available for shipment to the Smelte: is noted, this is splendid showing, and places the Philadelphia m ranking position as a producer of not ar l record. The drift alluded to wlll be iirIyen north erly S5 feet, and at chis poinT will in- tersect with the Wayte shafs. afford ing perfect ventilation and economiz- ing the extraction of the ores from the reserves overhead, estimated to be upwards of 30 feet high. From the shaft. in an easterly direction. a crosscut has been triven from the 100 foot level a distance of 60 feet, the most part being in ore of an excellent shipping grade. The south drift, S5 feet in length, is contributing it's quota of ore. A raise of 20 feet opened out into 2 body of high grade mineral. from which lots in carload quantities will soon be shipped by order of the resident superintendent, B Baker to whose energy and en- ternrise much of the success of the Philadelphia mine is due. Every foot of development work which has been planned and carried out during the summer just past. has resulted in the uncovering of ore deposits of money making value. and when this proper ty is opened as now contemplated the daily shipments will run into car loads.

Jessie veins of no less than 90 years estimating copper to continue no deeper than present workings of ad- jacent Anaconda veins. It is probable that if the price of copper remains at around the present level the company will resume mining the grades of ore which it produced up to a year ago and which it has in abundance. Its late policy has been to mine the lower grade and reserve its best ores, a policy common to many mines, espe- cially those of the Cole Ryan manage ment.
