FOR STANDARD DEFINITIONS
Institution of Mining and MetaIiur-
sy Makes Good Suggestions.

The Institution of Mining and Metal
iurgy of London has recently suggested
ana recommended the adoption of the fol-
lowing definitions:
That the ton" be weight of 1000
pounds avoirduDois
That the miners inch be a flow of
10 cubic feet per minute.
That the gallon" be the gallon of 10
pounds.
That all temperatures be expressed in
degrees centigrade.
That gold and silver returns be stated
in terms of fine metal, and not as "bui-
lion"
That the gold contents of ore be ex-
pressed IN the Troy ounce~of fine gold,
worth S20-67 or So shillings.
The standing of the institution gives
strength to the recommendations, and
most of them will meet with the hearty
approval and support of American en-
gineers, says Mines and Minerals
The desirability of using the ton of
1000 pounds is evident. 1t is bad enough
10 nave 10 discriminate between the met
re ton and the ton of 1000 pounds without
having the additional confusion due to
the long ton of 2,240 pounds. AS giaring
an instance as any of the difficulty aris-
ing from the use of the two standard
tons is in connection with the statistics
OF production of anthracite and blum
nous coal in Pennsylvania. anthracite be-
ing reported in long tons and bituminous
In short tons Consequently, two tables
must be given, or a calculation made be-
fore the total production can be OBJ
tanned or before the product of one kind
OF coal can be compared with that of
another.
The confusion arising from the present
different standards of the miners inch
is widespread, and each locality mas
adopted its own standard from among the
many published values. Consequently
each statement of miners inches must
nave an accompanying key to be inter
changea BILE.
The gallon of 10 pounds will probably
not receive the same cordial support I'M
iii there is an agreement on all English
and American weights and measures, as
the gallon enters into too many other in
duStrleS besides mining. For American
men to adopt the English gallon until il
has been adopted generally throughout
the country, or at least until hydraulic
mechanical and other engineers have
adopted it. would tend rather to add to
the confusion than TO abate it.
The centigrade temperature scale is adj
mlttedly much simpler than the Fahren-
heit, and while the change is most desir-
able and would cause less confusion than
the preceding one regarding the gallon
the use of Fahrenheit temperatures is so
general that a change will be difficult
until a general standardization of all
weights and measures is agreed UPON
There would seem to be no argument
against reporting gold and silver as fine
gold instead of as bullion, since the lat
ter method is absolutely indefinite and
unsatisfactory. The last recommendation
regarding the use of the Troy ounce of
fine gold is a natural corollary of the
fifth recommendation.

MARBLE DISCOVERY

Some very fine specimens of marble
are being exhibited at the office of Judge
Breeze in Phoebe, says the Phoebe Record
This marble was discovered by W s
Couch and is situated in the Blind Noun

COUGHS statement a great quantity has
been found in place. A corporation has
been organized TO work this proposition
consisting of Judge John NJ. Breeze J. A
Nesbitt. w. 5. Couch, Hans Olson and DR.

marketed at a neat profit when the rail-
road is completed In the meantime
teams are being engaged to haul some
of the marble TO Phoebe, which win be
carved here and Mr.. Couch. who is a
marble carver by profession, will estab
lish a general monumental business.

GOLD MINING
IN THE YUKON
Individual Operations on De-
CIine-Big DredgeS Fore
ing Miners Out.

The Klondike country proper-that is,
that portion of the Yukon territory in the
vicinity of Dawson, as far as the indi-
vidual miner is concerned, is on a rapid
declina, owing to the immense area of
ground being acquired by dredging COM
panies. says the Mining Reporter of Den
Yer. One company alone has purchased
nearly all of the placer ground on the
three principal creeks, namely, Bonanza,
EldoTado and Hunker, and has bonded
considerably more on Dominion and other
creeks. This has practically depopulated
these creeks for various reasons. Where
formerly hundreds of miners were work
ing for wages or working their own
ground, thus creating a demand for pro-
visions clothing. machinery, hardware,
etc, and the transportation from Dawson
to the different mining operations, now
dredgeS are either operating OF in course
Of construction.
Dredges Replace SIuice Box.
An electrical dredge, capable of hand
twenty-fouT hours, will only require
about thirteen men to handle, at an APP
prOximate cost for labor of 500 per day.
While this difference is not as vet felt
by the Iaboring man in the territory, ow-
ing to the great amount of preparatory
work under way by the different dredg
ing companies and the construction of a
railroad from Dawson to the various
creeks. eventually it will make a diff
ference in the amount of labor required.
The present scale of wages for laboriug
men is 81 a day and board. and from S.
to 81 for skilled mechanics, the board
costing the companies 81 per day. These
are the wages paid by the large COM
panies. but the wages around Dawson are
probably little higher.
Benefit of New Method.
This new method of mining. while. it
affects the individual placer mining in
the I[lOndike district. has n tendency TO
cause the prospector and miner to look
for new fields. both in the Yukon terri
tory and Alaska 1t gives the small
mine owner an opportunity of obtaining a
fair price for a piece of ground which
would hardly pay to work by the old
method of wood fire or steam thawinS;
and were il possible for him to work it
by improved methods: his property is not
of sufficient size to pay him to do this.
1t has also caused great activity i'm the
locating of all ground open for stalking
i'm this vicinity that has not been here
tOfore thought of sufficient value to
to keep it represented until he has an
opportunity to unload on one of the large
companies. In this way entire creeks
have been staked during the past two
years.
