In the old working, 275 feet from the mouth of the tunnel, is the upraise that met the winze that came from the NV. end of the drift in tunnel No. 1, 200 feet from the crosscut tunnel itself. Every fifty feet in the new working there is an upraise that will go all the way to the surface, and mid way between these will be made other upraises, clear to the surface, to facilitate stoping and ore ex- traction when the mill starts up. One hundred feet from the entrance to the tunnel is an upraise going to meet an air shaft coming down from the croppings above. From the collar of the shaft to the roof of the tunnel is about sixty feet, half of which has been accom-

MODERN LIFE A SCRAMBLE.
DR.. Cromer, at Y. M. G. A., Paints
Grahic Picture of Present-Day
Conditions.

The Hon. George B. Cromer. ex-
president Of Newberry college and a
leading member Of the South Carolina
bar, addressed large and intensely
interested audience Of men at the
Young Mems Christian association
yesterday afternoon. His subject was
"TAe Disseminated Young Man." No
resume Of it can give even a poor re-
Election Of its strength, literary ex-
cellence, (some men demand this if
no other good quality,) interesting IL
lustrations or brilliant epigrams. In
all truth and soberness it can be said
that every man Of the many present
was genuinely entertained and, better
yet, stimulated to. higher ideals.
By way Of parenthesis, while speak
ing Of money the distinguished visitor
said he had noted the fact that the
Charleston Y. NJ. C. A. needed money
from citizens to help run it's big
work. ~ take it for granted that a
poor little community like Charleston
cannot afford to support live Young
Mems Christian association in decen-
cy,' he said in effect, if not verbatim.
Speaking on the subject mentioned
above DR.. Cromer said modern life is
a scramble. The impotent man at the
pool is a good picture Of conditions
today. Strong men push aside the
weak, weak men the weaker in the
race for place, power and money.
There is discomfort everywhere. Day.
id in the case of Abdullah drew to
him men of the "Three d. class
men in debt, dissatisfied, discontent-
ed. That is another picture Of the
same. conditions.
The rich young ruler who came to
Jesus presents a dramatic picture of
mans dissatisfaction. This man had
power, money and moral character,
and was dissatisfied. He had three
things, but, lacking one, he lacked all.
Selfishness or selfrighteousness spoils
life for any man.
Then followed a telling appeal for
high ideals, faithfully followed in
every day life. Viewed from any
standpoint, the address was treat
and an inspiration to those who heard
it.-News and Courier, 23rd.

Too Dangerous.

Old Aunt Hepsy Garside never
had seen a moving picture show be-
fore. She gazed in speechless wonder
at the magic contrivance by which
messenger boys were made to move
with breakneck speed, BARRIERS to
save their customers in less than
minute, and heavy policemen to dash
along the street at a rate never at
tanned by living specimen, either Oh
or off duty.
It was all real to her. She could
not doubt the evidence Of her senses.
All things were taking place exactly
as depicted.
Presently an automobile came in
sight in the far background, moving
directly toward the audience at the
rate of at least a mile a minute. Just
as a catastrophe seemed inevitable 1t
swerved aside, passed on and dlsap-
peared.
Aunt Hepsy could stand it no long
er. Hastily grasping the hand Of her
little neice, she rose and started swift
ly for the door
"Come along, Minervyt' she said.
"It amt safe to stay here anv long
tr! that ling didn't miss me more
than two feet!'

SECOND CONFERENCE OF
GOVERNORS IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Nov. 19.-The much
talked-of inventory Of the nation S
resources is now practically complet-
ed. To consider the material it has
brought together the National Con-
servation Commission has just an
nounced its first full meeting for
Tuesday, December I, in Washington.
At that meeting the first steps will be
taken toward putting into tangible
shape the results of the six months
hard work on taking stock Of the
countrv's waters, forests, lands, and
minerals.
One week later, after the commits
sion has gone over the inventory, 1t
will hold joint meeting in Washing
ton with the governors of the States
md TT ~ritories, or their representa-
t:ves. At this meeting the inventr"v
will be fnnther discussed and the re-
port which the president has request
ed the commission to make to him by

WOOD PRINCIPAL MATERIAL
IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Great as the advance in fire-proof
construction has been during the last
ten years there has been no let-up in
the use Of lumber, and both architects
and builders find themselves so de-
pendent on wood toda that they are
compelled to admit that the forests of
the country are likely. to be the
chief source of building material for
many years to come.
"The use of cement, terra Gotta,
brick and stone, with a framework of
steel, will make it possible soon to do
away with wood entirely,' is a re-
mark often heard, and, indeed, when
one stands on lower Broadway and
looks up at the towering skyscrapers,
the statement seems to contain much
truth. As a matter of fact, however,
the popular idea that fire-proof ma
terials will do away with the need Of
using lumber in a comparatively few
years in very erroneous one. All
Of the various fire-proof materials
going into the approved construction
of the more substantial buildings are
used in greater quantities now than
the world dreamed of few years ago,
vet the heavy demand for lumber con-
tinues.
That wood predominates is shown
by the annual building records. OF
the permits used for buildings erect
ed last year, approximately 81 per
cent were constructed of wood, and
the remaining 80 per cent Of fire re-
sisting material. according to a re-
port issued by the Geological survey
On operations in forty-nlne leading
cities Of the country. These figures
are the most significant when it is
realized that they only represent the
building activities in the largest ci-
ties; they do not take into account
the construction Of dwellings, stores
and other buildings in the thousands
of small cities and towns scattered
over and not included in the forty
nine cities on which the reckoning is
made.
In towns and small cities wood is
usually the predominating building
material and it is safe to say that if
the statistics had included figures for
all places Of whatever size, the per-
centage of wooden construction would
have been much greater. These
figures, as rule, are only for the cor
porate limits, and the suburbs Of these
cities have each very large amounts to
be added. The cost, also, is relatively
higher in these cities than in towns
nearer the base Of the supply.

OF the government departments, nave
brought together what is probably the
most useful collection of facts about
the material things on which national
industry and progress are based that
has ever been assembled at one time.
Reports presenting these facts and
pointing out their significance have
been prepared. These reports, sum-
married and indexed, will be submit
ted to the commission at its coming
meeting.
All throguh the summer general in
terest in the work and object Of the
Conservation Commission has been
growing. The public is now well post
ed on a subject of which only few
specialists had knowledge at the time
Of the conference Of Governors and
experts at the White House, in May.
The governors carried the spirit Of
the conference home with them to
their own people, and have kept
things moving ever since by appoint
ing State commissions to study local
problems, by writing and speaking
upon the subject Of conservation, and
by keeping in close and helpful touch
with the national commission. They
are ready to take part in the ap-
preaching joint meeting. The bare an
nouncement that it had been set for
December s resulted in a number of
aeceptances before the formal invita-
tion Of the commission had even got
into the mails.
When the conservation movement
was started, specific information
about the actual state of our resour-
ces was partly wanting, partly mac
cessible. Certain facts were broadly
known. It was at least unquestiona-
BILE that our resources had been waste
fully used, and that some of them, no.
tably the mines, were sure in time to
be completely exhausted, while 9TH
ers, for example the forests, could
still be kept perpetually useful by
right management. The first work
was to get the facts, to show exact
ly what the situation was and how it
could be improved by measures that
would work. Without an inventory
of the resources which should show
the present condition Of the re-
sources and the way to develop them
to the best advantage, conservation
was in danger Of staying up in the
air.
But the work is now practically
done. The facts are. there, in dollars
and cents, tons Of coal, board feet Of
timber, acre-feet and horsepower Of
water, acres Of land, And the pos
sible refrom measures have been
weighed. The final report to the
president will be the necessary sup
plement to the addresses at the White
House conference. The note Of those
addresses was a note Of warning. The
report is expected to $ how that the
warning must be needed if the ex-
haustion of oatucal resources is not,
one day, t., impoverish the nation,
and it will also undoubtedly bring out
how the country's resources can be
developed so as to last the longest
possible time and serve The greatetsr
good Of the people.
