How Mines are Sailed

The way and means by which
unsuspecting purchasers are some
times difficult of detection, even by
experienced mining engineers, says
the May number of Popular Mech
anics.
On this subject Howard w. Du-
bois, says, Sailing may take place
in the mine itself previous to exami-
nation, but this method involves con-
siderable expense. The cheapest and
easiest method used is to salt the en-
gineer's samples, and the sailing, SO
to speak, of the engineer himself for
a favorable report is often possible
by the financial inducement which
can be offered, in comparison with
which the ordinary examination fee
would look small.
The books of mines are often fixed
to show good mill returns, whereas
operations have been carried on at a
loss, and case S have been known
where gold ore has been purchased at
twice its real value, both for sailing
purposes and to give a good product
to the mine"
Precious metal mines are those
mostly selected for the salter's art
but cases have been known where
attempts have been made to salt
iron mines. 1t requires the greatest
vigilance on the part of an examin-
ing engineer to make sure he has
not been sailed at one of the many
opportunities presented.

His Fathers Rich
Chicago Record-Herald.)

My father is a millionaire, l never
work at all;
I've travelled almost everywhere-the
worlds so very small!
I've seen all that there is to see
there's nothing strange or new;
There humorists poke fun at me-but
what's chap to do?
I've been through all the giddy whirls
I've gone the merry pace;
OF course there are the chorus girls
but they get commonplace;
I've gambled when the stakes were
Eigh-been correspondent, too
The days are slow in dragging by;
but what's chap to do?
The papers let no chance escape to
make me out a cad
The jokers criticise my shape and
pity poor old dad;
They even tell me | should go to
work-perhaps it's true
But workings such a bore, you know
so what's a chap to do?

Emigration to Canada.
New York Sum-

News comes from Winnipeg that
the spring tide of emigration from
our western states to Canada has al
ready set in and gives promise OF
reaching at least high water mark
This is a serious loss to the United
States. Accepting, as we may, the
Canadian statistics of immigration,
it appears that since the opening of
the century about 100000 people
have moved across the line to make
homes in Canada Probably a few
have returned, but most have stayed
and are content to stay.
These people do not go to Canada
because they are not doing we'll in
the United States but because they
hope to do better in the new land
Many of them are of the class which
has made our great West They or
their fathers obtained lands in the
West either by demonstrating or by
purchase for a small sum an acre.
They can now sell their holdings for
many times the original cost and take
their money, their experience and
their equipment into a new country
and there buy land for a few dollars
an acre and see its value increase as
did the value of their farms in this
country.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO,
Their Unceasing Work Keeps
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, rheuma-
tism, govt, gravel, disorders of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But
if you keep the filter right you will
have no trouble with your kidneys.
M. T. Myers, living at 1O1 Lamar
street, Americas, Ca, says: 81 have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and have
no hesitancy in recommending them
They relieved me of a pain in my
back and regulated the action of
my kidneys. l know Doan's Pills to
be a very reliable remedy and do
not hesitate to endorse them to

Instead of pushing tariff revision
into the background because the
Republicans at the last hour have
been shrewd enough to see the poll
teal eXpediancy of indorsing it,
Gov. Johnson at Louisville, declared,
and in Chicago yesterday reiterated,
that it is the most important issue
of the campaign. By the tariff re
vision he means tariff, reform NOT
duties amended at the instance Of
favored individuals and industries.
The plain truth that excessive pro-
lection has fOstered monopoly and
that Dingleyism has afforded friend
ly shelter to most of the great trusts
the Republicans dare not admit How
often has President Roosevelt, who
has at last turned reVisiOnist re-
peated his familiar saying that the
tariff has nothing to do with the
trusts? Secretary Taft, the frank
est of the Republican candidates On
the subject of tariff revision, names
no Dingley duties that he considers
excessive. He says nothing of at
lacking monopoly prices by with
drawing special privileges from
swollen combinations that remain
secure from prosecution in the courts.
Last week he said that some of the
Dingley duties should be lowered
and some raised.
If the Republicans elect the next
President, and House, is there any
one so deluded by ante-eIection pied
ges as not to know what kind of a
tariff revision bill stand-patters like
Cannon, Payne and DalzaII of the
House and Aldrich of the Senate will
enact.
Real revision of the tariff and re-
solute resistance to the encroach-
ments of the Federal Government
are the watchwords Gov. Johnson sets
for his party. With Mr.. Bryan as
the Democratic candidate neither
would have any meaning. Tariff
reform interests him little more than
economy in public expenditures does
