Are you good at arithmetic? If Civ
EN- a simple little problem can you take
a paper and pencil and figure out the
correct answer?
Without intending to cast any re-
Elections upon your accompl ishments
in this direction. we are going to work
the problem for you, just to save you
the trouble, but bear in mind that no
restrictions are placed upon your
proving the figures. Here You are:
Question II 13 cubic feet Of ore in
place, that is, in the vein, weighs one
ton, how much does an ore body weigh
that is 1000 feet long, $50 deep ami
6 feet wide! 3553.
Answer, 000x530x6 equals $780,
900 cubic feet; divided by 1s equals
4S9,23S tons.
Question: this ore is worth $1,000
per ton, what is the value Of that ore
body? .=
AnsWer--s4,s 92, $3.50.
Question If the average cost Of
mining and milling this ore is $3.50 per
ton, what is the net value of that ore
body?
Answers, 669,2s5.
The above has special and partic-
ular reference to two Of the claims in
the group of Is owned by our com
pany. One Of the claims is 1900 feet
long and the other 500 feet long. The
ore body was cut at a depth Of $50
feet under the surface by the long
cross cut tunnel, and subsequently a
shaft was sunk on the vein to depth
of so feet below the $50 foot level.
There are two other veins which
have been opened to the extent Of
$500 feet on their course, with an
average depth of 225 feet, and from
which something over $1,000, 900 has
been recovered. Approximately rs
per cent OF the ground has been work
ed out to the surface which leaves
something over s40O, 900 Of recoverable
values in place.
At one point in the workings on
these two veins a shaft has been sunk,
to depth of 16S feet and levels driv-
en- from the bottom thereof to suffi-
cient length to demonstrate the con
stinuity of the veins, and also that the
veins increase in width and mineral
fzation. This brings us to another
simple question in arithmetic: Given
an ore body $500 feet long, 1853 feet
deep and feet wide, how much does
the entire ore body weigh?
Answer2,50O < 1853 K equals 81
100000 cubic feet, divided by IS,
equals 25s,461 tons.
The average value Of this ore is
much better than $1,000 per ton, but
taking that price as basis, we have
recoverable values here Of $2,584, o,
but with the mining and milling cost
deducted, a net value of 81 .s3s, 45s.
Remember these net recoverable
values are confined exclusively to the
ore bodies which have been opened
up, proven up, absolutely In sight, to
be inspected by all men and demon
strated to the point where the imag.
ination ceases to be factor; also re
member that only the established
rules have been applied in determin
ing the quantities and values as given
above.

Commissioner West yesterday declared
himself as opposed to the expenditure Of
public money for supplying popular mag
azines for the various high schools.
Under date Of July /, 1906, the board Of
education, through its president and sec
retary, made requisltions for subscriptions
to magazines amounting TO S599sg, to be
supplied TO the various high school IL
braries. The Commissioners questioned
the necessity Of this expenditure and the
president of the board Of education there

periodicals 10 reduce the total amount 10
$22H.60. II is now proposed 90 restore the
sum of the eliminated magazines the

In reference to the matter C0mmis-
