"BORAX" SMITH ROAD.

BY referring to our news columns
today it will be seen that through
service on Rhyolite's third railroad
will commence on the 25th inst, and
another spoke has been added to the
prosperity wheel of the metropolis of
the Bullfrog district.
When We look over what has been
accomplished during the short
months of the districts existence, the
results attained are a little short of
phenomenal.
1t was about two years and five
months ago that "Borax" Smith
started building a railroad out of Las
Vegas for the borax mines and the
Bullfrog district. Difference over
rats for supplies between him and
the Salt Lake road Nused a suspen-
sion of work after twelve miles OF
road had been graded, and he moved
his outfit to Ludlow on the Santa Fe
and started the Tonopah and Tide
water, which was completed into the
district two weeks ago.
No mining camp ever discovered
has been so rapidly supplied with
transportation facilities as the Bull
frog and it will be many years before
one will be.
The last spoke can now be put IL
the prosperity wheel of Rhyolite b!
building a good custom mill. There
ore in plenty and 1t only needs a re
duction plant to extract the values

Gal Brougher, the newly appoint

stockholders, has been here since last
Wednesday morning. In company
with w. j. Douglass and A. T.. john

is no ore in the lower levels, MI
Rrougher is now a director in the

him.
II have heard OF those rumors,
said he. and am in a position 10

is looking even better than it was
when | was here a month ago. From
the 9OO-foot level they have sunk the
east winze to a depth Of fifty or sixty
feet. all of which is in ore, having no
foot or hanging wall; and all the ore
is going to the mill. On the 1000
foot level they are prosecuting, but
have not gone far enough to the
north to encounter the ore body.
I'VE went down to the BelmonI
mill, and the conditions there arr

the extraction is highly satisfactory
We are still a little short OF power

P. Forster yesterday. says the Lit tie Rock Gazette. MT. Forster has been a woodsman for many years, and mas hunted and killed deer in all parts of Arkansas It might be possible to say that the horns of a deer gain a point each year up to and including three years. Even this might not be true in every case.
 Deer shed their horns every year. Usually the shedding process goes on during the latter part of December and the month of Janu ary. A little knob is left on the head from which the horns grew Almost as soon as the horns drop off the growing process begins again. Deer as a rule rut around a good deal with their heads. This might cause an abrasion of some sort on the horns and cause numer- ous points. ;

Tungsten to be had in such small quantities

complained to old metallurgist that whereas
he was seeking for yellow gold he got nothing
but worthless black mineral from his mine.
The man interested at once 1t seemed too
good to be true. yet he went with the miner, first
to the assay office where some of the product

fifteen miles up the That before the
building of the Colorado & Northwestern road
which has since opened up all that rich territory
to the prospector. A day at the mine suficed to
convince the scholar that here was tungsten in
lavish abundance, mineral that would make
the of the mine far more wealthy than If
he had found the gold he sought.
The news went all over the world and within
a few months the mountain had been staSed with

II HERE is always something fascinating
about minerals especially those that COM
mand high price in the market Among
these there is no doubt that tungsten is the most
interesting, because it is of the youngest
minerals known to commerce. Already it mas
been the victim of many fake story and per-
verified report The fabricator being in little
danger of contradiction, feels free to give his
imagination full rein. Only a short time ago
otherwise reputable mining journal published
article concerning this new metal, in course of
which the statement was made that tungsten
now being used for making frogs, especially for
street tracks where the switch had to be
thrown very frequently, and that frog of tung-
stem would outwear ten frogs of ordinary steel.
In truth a frog of tungsten alloy-it is never
employed for any other purpose than alloy
would be so brittle that it would go to pieces in
few hours The most common error concerning
the of tungsten is that it is employed in the
making of armor plate and heavy projectiles. 1T
is not difficult to trace this mistake to its source.
Tungsten alloy is used in the manufacture of
tools for cutting steel, especially such tools as
are run at high speed The lathe work the
steel jackets of proiecties and the pairing and
trimming of the sections of armor plate for bat
tie ships is all done with tools of tungsten alloy.
Some such statement this probably read
and misconstrued by the public

its peculiar properties. He had made a variety

value of the output from the mines in this county
is a little hundred thousand dollars
month
Before the discovery of the properties of tung
stem, there was definite limit to the rate at
which tools for cutting and saving steel could
be run, because of the heat developed at the
point Of contact. The old-fashioned chisel,
when operated slowly, worthless after two
large projectiles had been finished The edge
was gone entirely. The chisel made of tungsten
alloy works better when it is operated at such
a speed as to develop enormous heat than 1t does
when operated slowly. Whereas the ordinary tool
cuts a steel chip at the rate of twenty-five linea
feet a minute, the tungsten tool has been known
to cut chip two hundred feet long in the same
time, without injury to the tool. With this basis
of comparison it may readily be seen that although
the common alloy costs two cents a pound and
the tungsten alloy costs SiXtyfiye cents a pound,
the latter is the cheaper in the long run.
Wood working tools are also made OF -ir-
hardened tungsten steel, the metal so hard that
it cannot be cut but must be shaped by grinding
on the emery wheel. In some instances it is so
brittle that it must be reheated to prevent 1t
from crumbng. Because of this britteness II
is easy to perceive that tungsten alloy would be
worthless for armor plate railroad frogs. 1t
is of inestimable value to the machinist, the loco
motive manufacturer and the worker in refrac-
tory metals and wood Scientific men are now at
work seeking other uses to which it may be put;
but from present indications there is little doubt
that Boulder county will always be able to supply
the demand

THOUGHTS.

THOUGHTS.
They cyme when the sunlight
Is bright on the mountain; +
They come when the moonshineHF
Is VIII Nte on the fountain;
At morn and at even,
BY minutes and hours,
But not as they once were,
OF birs and of flowers.
They co, ,e when some token
Of pas days will rise,
AS a LINK to the present,
And then they bring signs;
They come when some dreaming
Through hopes and through
fears,
Rushes on to the future,
And then they bring tears.
They come when the seat mist
Der ocean is rife,
And they tell of a shadow
That hangs over life;
They come when the storm
In thunder and gloom
Spreads around, and they speak
OF the earth and the tomb.
They come when the ripple
Is low on the lake,
And the plover is nesting
BY fountain or brake;
And the twilight looks out
With star on its breast,
And they whisper, that all
But themselves are at rest.
They come when the low breeze
Is tanning the leaves;
They come when the flower cup
The dew drop receives;
BY nights noontide silence.
BY days noontide hum,
And at times, oh! how deeply
And darkly they come.

Streams on the r ampase.

The heavy rains of last week caused
a ge eneral high water throughout
Western Oregon In the Willamette
valley, that river aud its tributaries
reached an alarmingly high stage.
The Southern Pacific trains we're de-
layed but only minor damage was
done to the road.
In Southern Oregon the water was
not unusually high except in certain
streams. Rogue river reached about
the same mark that it did in Jsunu-
airy. The Applegste river was pro-
portionately somewhat higher.
The rain in Southern Oregon was
warm aud melted a considerable
amount of snow from the mountains
which augmented the food. The
water reached its highest stage on
Monday. On that day considerable
amount of the water of Rogue river
was running under the south ap-
proach of the bridge at this place and
some of the south bank of the river
above the bridge was cut away.

INDIANS COMPLAIN
TO "GREAT FATHER"
Disconnected With Excha nse of
Lands on Klamath
Reservation.

A petition, signed by several chiefs
of the klamath Indians. has been sent
to President Roosevelt direct, request.
ing that he cause an investigation of
the recent land exchange on the
klamath reservation, commonly
spoken of as the Booth Kelly deal.
The Indians feel they have not been
justly dealt with, and, while an in
vestigation may not disclose any
fraudulent transaction, there is a
possible chance it may be shown that
the Indians did not receive full value
Tor the lands they decided to this CON-
pany in exchange for other lands.
Reliable timber cruisers and estima-
tors make the statement that the deal
was a good one-that is, for the
Booth Kelly people. The Indian
Agent approves the exchange Of the
lands, and expresses the opinion that
the klamath Indians received ample
consideration for their valuable body
of timber decided to the Booth Kelly
Comrany. The deal has now reached
a point where nothing but thorough
investigation by the government will
satisfy all parties concerned as to the
of the exchange Of these
lands.
