RAWHIDE PREPARES
FOR ORE SHIPPING
Transportation Facilities Inn
proved and Hundreds of Tons
Ready for SmeIter
g2EcIAL pIspArcH no lee 81

RENO. May 3,-This week promises
to mark the beginning Of the steady
shipping history Of the new camp Of
Rawhide- Hundreds OF tons Of ship
ping ore are now piled on the dumps of
the different properties In the district
and considerable has already been
shipped. The delay has been caused by
lack Of shipping facilities. The district
has been short On teams and wagons
but now this hss been overcome, and
the Kearns No. will make It's first
shipment II the morning.
Forty tons Of ore will be sent down
from Balloon hill by 14-horse teams and
start across the desert on itg way 10
the smeiteTs At Salt Lake. Other ship
ments viii follow, and IL is the predic-
ton OF Mr.. Kearns that he Will be
shortly sending out an average OF 20
tons z day
The Tr0ett lease Of the Coalition sent
out 55 tons last week for the sampler
At Hazen.
This is the record OF a camp but six
months old A shipment was sent away
from the Proskey lease of the Coalition
last week and another from the Rey-
noIds-Tanner lease of the Poor Boy.
Kearns No. 2 Of the Rawhide Queen is
shopping from it's ledge, which has II
feet of shipping ore. The lot to be sent
down from the hill tomorrow will run,
Il is estimated. in the nsighborhood Of
1900 a ton. Drifting both ways on this
ledge at the SIS foot level is being
pushed, and crosscut for the ledge
from the 100 has been started. The
values in the drift still keep up.
Another strike was made today on
the Coalition ooligan, which adjoins
the Truett lease. 1t is believed the
Coalition-Hooligan people are now in
the same ore body as the Truett. The
Truett lease is in good condition. 1t
has two shafts down and is drifting
from both of them on parallel veins,
one at the so foot and the other at the
100 foot level. 1t was from the former.
which is In the high grade, that the
shipment on last Monday was made.
The Murray lease is down to a depth
OF lao feet and is drifting at the 100
foot level being again in the ore that
dipped out of the shaft at the 20 foot
level President Poloncheck said to-
night that he expected TO ship within
a week.

PITCAIRN ISLANDERS
REFUSE SUNDAY TRADE
Captain Provisions His Ship
Free Because He Came on
Lords Day of Rest

After 4 long trip Of 100 days from
Newcastle. the British ship Hawaiian
Isles came into port yesterday after
noon. Captain Maiiett reports that the
long passage was due to light winds
during the entire voyage.
On March Il the vessel stopped at
Pitcairn islands. where Captain Nal
lett wanted 20 trade with the Pitcairns
for fresh vegetables and fruits, with
which the islands abound. To his
smazement the Pitcafrns refused 70
trade because It was Sunday. They.
however. told him he was welcome to
accept as = gift any provisions he re-
CURED. but they positively refused to
sell him anything or to enter into any
trade with him. as they stated that on
the Lords day no business OF any kind
was ever transacted. 10 persuasion
would induce them 10 sell their pro-
visions, so Captain Isilett accepted
she eIer as a gift and took on board
his ship a lot Of delicious fruits and
vegetables and q dozen fat juicy
chickens.
The Pitcairns said II be would walt
over until the next day they would be
glad to bargain with him. but the ves-
sci was already behind time and Cap
tain Mallett fastened away for this
port.

Iron Ore Output

Returns received by the United
States geological survey for iron ore
produced in the year 1907. while not
complete. indicate that the total pro-
duction for the year will fall between
$4,000, 900 and $1,000. 900 long tons. The
total production of 1906 was 47.749.72S
long tons. The Lake Superior district
shows an increase of about Is per cent;
the southern district an increase of
only per cent, and the northern and
northeastern districts per cent. The
western district figures. while incom-
plete, appear to show little or no gain
over 1906. The amount OF iron ore in
stock at the close of the year was said
to be the largest in the history of the
iron trade

FRATMEN EXPOSE
ALLEGED IMPOSTOR

BERKELEY. May 3.-Sonething OF .
sensation was created today in the fra
ternity and sorority houses On the
campus by the receipt Of an engraved
card bearing the news that Harry Har-
ris. formerly a member OF the fresh
man class, was not and never had been
associated with the Beta Theta Pi fra
ternity.
The announcement OF the Beta Theta
Pi fraternity. one OF the largest Greek
letter societies in the United States.
created the greatest interest IN the So
rority. fraternity and house clubs OF
the University Of California, where
Harris has been received and honored
as member Of the organization.
At all OF the fraternity and sorority
dances OF the past season Harris has
been present and declared that he was
affiliated with the Beta Theta Pi fraIer-
nifty. He was not. however. cordially
received BY the members OF the fra
ternity OF which he said he was a mem
Der. and as result there was consider
able gossip about Harris standing with
the ''Betas."
The announcement coming from the
Betas today. however. cleared up the
atmosphere Of doubt. Following IL the
card sent to all the fraternitiss. sorori-
ties and house clubs:

WHY IRON RUSTS
American Scientist Declares 1t
Is All Due to Electricity

Ask almost any intelligent man why
iron rusts, and he will probably ex-
plain at tedious length that 1t is all
due to the oxygen of the air. Ever
since chemistry became more or less
exact science, which was over CEN
fury ago, that theory has been generally
accepted. Now an American physicist,
DR.. Cushman, comes along and an
nounces that rusting is really due to
electricity
DIR. Cushman started his researches
with the object of discovering some
method of preventing the eorrosion Of
wire fences-a subject of vital interest
to farmers. He achieved more than he
anticipated He found that the first al
tack on the iron is made by hydrogen
In the form of exceedingly small PAL
ticles, and not as the textbooks have
taught US. by oxygen. This is In
agreement with the modern theory that
many substances, when they are dis
solved in water, are disassociated into
ions. or minute particles smaller even
than atoms, all carrying electrical
charges. Even pure water contains
q certain number of these. Acid impuri-
ties multiply the hydrogen ions and
strengthen them in their corrosive ef-
feet upon iron. The action is purely
electric and involves an exchange of the
electric relations between the hydrogen
and the iron. DIR. Cushman discovered
that active oxidizing agents, such as
chromate and bichromate OF potash,
prevent rusting by safeguarding it
against attack by the hydrogen ion. BY
immersing the iron in a concentrated
solution OF bichromate acid. and then
washing and wiping 1t, the metal is rem
dered passive, so that 1t becomes ca
pable of resisting electro chemical at
tack.
The discovery of the real cause OF
rusting and of its prevention has great
industrial significance. 1t means that
method has at last been found for pro-
tectins structural ironwork and ma
chinery.-Circla

SHORT 80 CENTS FOR "a YEARS

For 81 years the accounts of the
naval port Of Toulon refused to bal
ance. There was 80 cents too much in
the cash books, and ever since 1873
this 80 cents has puzzled the official ac-
countants. Some time ago orders were
sent firm Paris that this state of af-
fairs must cease. Seven special ac-
countants were set to work and after
seven months hard labor the problem
was solved. Admiral Gallibet-a for
mer minister of marine, who was 81
years ago one of the oIncers of Tou1on
arsenal. puI who for many years has
been living in Paris on his pension
has just received official notice asking
him to call at the ministry of finance
and draw the sum of 80 cents. He was
underpaid by this amount when he left
Toulon in 1s73.-Kansas City Journal.
