MlJCHLOW GRADE COPPER
IN HUMBOLDT PROSPECTS

Scattered throughout the mining re-
c;ous Of Humboldt county copper ore
IN higher or lower purity can be found.
This characteristic copper is not con-
fined to any particular district or Sec
ton of the county, but is general. 1t
Il found in the mines at Bernice, in
the extreme southern part Of Hum
boldt county, and the northern part of
Churchill county. Pueblo mountain,
In the extreme northern end of the
county, carries heavy copper values.
The interlying districts in western

Rosebud, Black Diamond, Sawtooth,

tent.
Copper, therefore, has been a metal

copper in the ore from any particular
district has had much to do with the
total value of the ore.
AS explained above, there are many
prospects in the county which have
been taken up for the copper alone.
These prospects are in the main of low
grade character, but contain large de-
posits.
The question of the treatment of low
grade copper ore is n of great i'm
portance to Humboldt miners.
It is a question that is engaging the
thought of chemists today.
The result of much chemical analy-
sis and treatment of copper ore has
developed the following conclusions:
To obtain satisfactory results the ore
must be ideal. There are deleterious
elements in many ores that make it ina
possible to leech out the copied at a
profit. Lime, manganese, ferrous OK

factors must be taken into consider

fuel.
Second. NO observation-disclosures should
be contained in it.
Third, there must be a large body
of ore, easily mined, and in close touch
with a railroad.

From the Goldfeld Chronicle.
There is no such thing as Blue Mon

Joe had $3.50 in his pocket. He court
ed the tickle goddess at the Northern
saloon, and in two hours he bad $4,000.
Joe ran his $3.50 up to 800 on the
crap table. He then began to plunge
and after a few more throws was max
ing 800 bets. The stacks on his side
of the dine kept on increasing and
scarcely a throw went against him.
When he had stacked up $4,000 he took
81 5000 and put it in the bank, anil went
home with the rest.
When Joe went down town this morn
ing he had a Monday morning taste, a
suspender and two collar buttons.
He stood by the crap table in the Nor

He took the money up and began fol

light as have some of the Western
Paciic's, but it was not until yester
day that a campaign for control, or at
least SO far as the Gould line is con
cerned, for a chance to share with its
rival in the big freight field along the
eastern sideof the bay, was made
known.
Operations On both slides of the bay
will be ON a magnificent scale and will
mean much for the industrial activity
of San Francisco, where an army OF
men will commence within Is days, ac
cording to the terms of the contract,
to construct the yards, sheds, slips and
terminals of a great transcontinental
railroad
The contract let for work on the San
Francisco side of the bay will give :"
this city much of the advantage thai
has heretofore been secured by Utah,

Western Pacific have been confined.
According to the contracts let worl
must begin within fifteen days, and as
further evidence of the Western Pa
cific 8 intention to enter San Francisco
as soon as possible, the contracts for
the building of ferry slips and mole
on the Oakland side of the bay hav
also been let. 1t is understood that ali
this work is to be completed within
IL months.
Much of the time consumed ia
finishing the contract in San Francisco
will be devoted to the difficult engin-
eering feat of constructing a 1000 foot
tunnel.
The freight slips will be placed in
Twenty-ffth street and as the line will
run as far as Ninth and Grammar
where the freight sheds will be built.
There are more than 5000 men EN-
ployed on the road and more are being
hired.

About 80 per cent Of the labor thus
supplied comes from Spain, and the
balance from italy, When France was
trying to build the canal 1t was almost
impossible to keep laborers there for
any length of time. Deadly diseases
were SO prevalent that workmen would
not stay. But by American methods
the canal zone has been cleaned up and
1t is now as healthy a place as the
average, with no contagious diseases

the canal zone is, therefore, the great

HOW TAFT WROTE DECISIONS.

To appreciate the thoroughness and
industry with which Judge Taft work.
ed, you should know how he wrote his
decisions. First, he studied the case
thoroughly, until he was an authority
on the particular law involved, IT'S ORR
gin, growth and application. Then,
without a note before him, he began
debating to has secretary, and fire.
Guently kept at it until late at night.
After stating the facts, he would
comment on the case by it's logical di-
visions. Completing a division. he
noted references and precedents. He
would tell his secretary to copy from
certain volume of reports. at a GER
nin page and paragraph. This was
Gkie only time he made use of, notes.
But he had well in mind the substance
of such quoted passages, and constants
IL referred to them during dictation
without a note before him. When all
the divisions Of the case had been dis
posed Of in their order, he would then
formulate his opinion, and this was
elear--a delightfully."- clear-deduction
from what had gone before.
His thinking was so clear, indeed,
and his grasp on the train or ideas so
Hrm, that he could be interrupted in
the middle of a sentence, talk, laugh or
Joke, and afterward go on as evenly
as though there had been no interrupt
tion. Or, if tht secretary himself
stopped him, being uncertain Of a pas
sage. the judge would go back and die
tate again, word for word what he
had dictated before.
Judge Taft was nightly hard press
ed if he closed himself against inter-
ruptions. Usually he worked with his
door open, though other judges won
aered at him. and anyone might break
IN on hisn and be received cheerily. as
though the Judge had nothing else in
the world to do but to tell jolly stories.
He was particularly kind to students
In the law school, and he could always
md time to help with any hard
legal knots they brought to him.
