SlEGEL CONSOLIDATED
. TO INCREASE PRODUCTION

H L Siegel, manager of the Siegel
Consolidated Mining company, which has
been operating in the Silver Canyon min
ing district at Siegel, forty miles north
of the SteptOe smelter. for the past eight
years. and from the mines of which have
yearly been produced many carloads OF
high grade silver-lead- manganese-i iron
ore, came in from the property last night,
says the Ely Mining Expositor.
The principal object of Mr.. .SiegeP S
visit at this time is to secure additional
men, to increase the working force and
the production of ore.
During the winter we have had but
fifteen men doing development work and
have succeeded in blocking out good
body of ore. With this showing, and
easier financial conditions, we believe it
to be TO the advantage of the property
to increase the working force to at least
thirty men, which number will be put
on at once said Mr.. Siegel.
The ore produced by the Siegel prop
erty is what mining and smelling men
term premium ore, because of its conf
bination of manganese and iron, making
market. For years every smelter near
Salt Lake to which these ores have been
shipped. has paid the Siegei company a
premium above their assay value.
on the dumps and in the mines there
are now several hundred tons of this kind
of ore, which it is believed the company
is keeping in reserve, TO await the blow
ing in of the SJeptoe smelter and a bio
from that company. At present the long
team haul from the mine at Currie, a
distance of sixty miles. together with tine
railroad charges from there to Salt Lake
make the shipment of any ore averaging
less than $50 per ton Improbable.
With the construction of a wagon road
across the mountains. which would neces-
state the grading of perhaps three OF
four miles, this property could be brought
to within fifteen miles. of the Nevada
Northern, at Warm Springs station and
from there shipped by rail. distance OF
twenty miles. TO the smelter at McGill
It is understood that the Siegel COM
panv contemplates building such a road
and marketing its ore at the Steptoe
smelter in the early spring.

PILING UP RICH ORE
AT SEVEN TR0UGHS MINE

Although little is being said by those
in authority in reference thereto, the de-
velopment of the fabulOusly rich Seven
Troughs mine, the property of the Seven
Troughs Mining company, near Vernon,
is being prosecuted more vigorously than
ever before, and were the management so
disposed and smelters inclined to handle
such ore, shipments could be made at
this time that would prove surprising
to even the most Sanguine believers in
the future of the district, says the Seven
Troughs Miner
A Deep into the ore houses alone, not
mentioning sight of the ore awaiting ex-
traction in the various workings of the
famous mine, would convince the most
skeptical observer that the company need
not concern itself in the least for a long
period as to the lingering depression in
money circles, which, fortunately for
others is gradually lifting The struc-
ture which, by no means, is small, Is
almost filled with sacked ore, only
enough space being left TO permit OF
the ore assorters to move about. BY
'filled.' stacked from the floor to the
ceiling is meant. And il is ore that is
good for sore eyes to behold. And in va
rious workings of the mine viii be found
sacked ore of like picture value.
The company has never had much to
say~relatives TO the policy it is following
in openings up its great storehouse of
wealth However, miners are kept busy
in the various workings of the mine and
as the development goes on its size as a
bonanza increases. 1t is learned that
within the next sixty days sinking will
be resumed in the shaft, which is now
down about $40 feet. 1t is the plan, it is
understood, TO sink to a depth of at least
900 feet.
TO carry out TINS plan it will be neces-
sary to replace the present fifteen-horss-
power gasoline hoist with one of greater
capacity This will be done, 1t is learned,
within the period named. it being the in
tention to install a horsepower

ore will go merrily on and, at not far
distant date the property will demon
strate that il is the greatest mine in Ne
vada. not excepting the Mohawk of Gold

Moving 1t

A RCHIMEDES, the greatest ancient geom-
y eter, is accredited with the saying. " Give
me where | may stand, and | will move the
world" With a lever of sufficient length
this task might possibly be accomplished.
But let us see what it would require to accom-
plish it with the forces at our command. The
weight of the globe has been calculated to be
six million million tons
To move this weight one foot, a steam en-
CINE of ten thousand horse power would have
to work necessarily for a period of seventy
thousand millions of years. During this time
the engine would use up forty million million
quarts of water. quantity sufficient to cover
the whole globe three hundred feet high Now
as to the fuel consumed by the engine if its
boiler was good and working economically it
would require four thousand million tons of
coal to feed it during the seventy thousand
millions of years. To ship such quantity of
coal by railway it would take two hundred
thousand million cars of a capacity of twenty
tons each. These cars. when placed in a line
would form a train SO long as to encompass
the earth forty-five times. and if this train
should move with a velocity of twenty-five
miles an hour. it would take it five million
Years before 1t could traverse the distance of
its own length.
This calculation shows that the globe rests
pretty firmly in the place assigned to it by
Nature, and how difficult would be the task
suggested by the great mathematician.

Queer Boundaries

THE most original and primitive way OF
marking a boundary was probably that
of Queen Dido and her colony. when they stipu-
lated, before the founding of Carthage for as
much land could he inclosed by a bulls
hide. All tribes belonging to the infancy OF
civilization have like peculiar modes of reckon
ing.
From point near the mouth of the Miami
River extends, northwest through Indiana
a boundary known as the ten o'clock line -
This is limit of an Indian grant When
the tribe had agreed to cede portion of their
territory to the whites, meeting was held for
the purpose of marking out the ground A
surveyor was present. and had mounted his
compass and telescope on tripod. The head
man of the tribe went up to the Instruments

fire, This example was followed by half a
dozen others. after which short consultation
was held.
The chief then approached the white men
" That what Indian know he said, drawing a
small circle on the ground with a stick that

round the first; this what nobody know he

circle. White man know that indicating

After long consultation it was decided that
line drawn in the direction in which the sun
would cast 4 shadow from an agreed point at
ten O'Clock should be made the boundary, the
white man taking the land side and
the Indians keeping that on the other The
other boundaries of the concession were
those of the original territory of the tribe

jects.

Temperature at Its Center

SCIENTISTS have given the temperature
~ which one would feel when penetrating to
the center of the globe. To obtain this esti-
mate of heat they had to confine themselves
to simple observations on the rise of tempera-
ture in mine shafts. Biologists believed that
the mean temperature of the earth increased
by one degree with every hundred feet of
descent. With these figures for basis. they
calculated that the mean heat of the central
nucleus must be forty-three hundred and
twenty degrees Fahrenheit.
This was good mathematics, but incorrect
for observations made in Nevada with instru-
ments of great precision showed that the heat
of the central nucleus was much greater. For
the experiment in 1907 silver mine was
selected. and there they found that at twenty
five hundred feet under the earths surface the
air showed a temperature of ninety-four degrees
Fahrenheit. and the water of one hundred and
twenty degrees. In the vicinity at Yellow
Jack shaft the mine reaches a depth of three
thousand feet, and the thermometer shows
constantly one hundred and thirty-nine de-
grees Fahrenheit; that miners cannot work
there for more than fifteen minutes at a
stretch. The works in the Simplon showed
likewise an uncommon Subterranean heat, and
the calculations justify an assumption for the
central nucleus of a temperature of six hun
dred and eighty thousand to seven hundred
thousand degrees, the same as is assumed of
the

WHY is a new house unhealthful? That is
w question which has been asked by
many and answered by few. And vet the
reason is obvious. In the construction of
Just one medium sized house it is estimated
that over thirty thousand gallons of water
is used
This water does not evaporate SO quickly
as it would IN the air and sunlight, but lies
near the surface of the earth under the house
and in the walls of the cellar. Hence, the house
is damp. and damp houses foster illness. A
house that has been standing for year or SO
is much more healthful than a new one.

Its Rotundity

RI Is not generally known that the rotundity
of the earth and its movement were known
long before Copernicus and Calico Thus
Aristotle says. Almost all those who claim
to have studied heaven in its uniformity de-
clare that the earth is in the center; but the
philosophers of the Italian school, otherwise
the Pythagoreans, teach entirely the contrary
In their opinion. the center is occupied by
fire, and the earth is only star which by
circular movement round the same center
produces night and day
The following Greek philosophers believed
in the rotundity of the earth: Pythagoras of
Samos. Anaximander Nicetas of Syracuse,
Heraclides of Pontus. Aristarchus of Samos.
Seleneus. and Ecphantus. Heraclides and
Ecphantus admitted that the earth moved
only upon its own aXis.-the diurnal move
ment. The Pythagoreans held that each star
was a world. having its own atmosphere,
with an immense extent of ether surround
ing it. Many centuries before Copernicus
wrote his work on The Revolution of the
Heavenly Bodies" which was about 1912

the universe:

relative masses of the earth the moon. and all
the planets. it does not enable us to determine
the absolute mass of any heavenly body in
units of the weights used on earth To deter

density must be known. and this is something
about which direct observation give no
information, as we cannot penetrate more
than an insignificant distance into the earth's
interior. The most probable mean density of
the earth is s.6,-that is. the earth is SO times
