This is an upper view of our
Twenty Stamp Mill, showing
the ore bins in the rear. These
stamps can handle 80 tons Of
ore per day, and allowing 800
working days in the year, this
means an annual output of
$4,000 tons per annum. The
general run of ore from the
"Mayfower' has Melted
about $40 per ton and in no
place has the mine been work
ed to a depth of 500 feet.
In all the great mines
around us values substantially
increase with depth. There is
not one known exception in
our district to this infexible
rule. The Empire Tor IN
stance, has an annual output
approximating 100000 and
is now down to the $500 foot
level. and making preparation
to 90 much lower. The "Ida-
no Maryland,'' a short dis
lance west of us, is taking out
richer quartz than ever from
its lower levels today, and the
"North Star" has just paid
a December dividend of $751;

San Francisco, Sept. 9.-Jumping
into the bay from the deck OF the
steamer General Frisbee, as she
passed Angel Island. David Lynch. n
well-known contractor. OF the Arm
OF Dunleavy q Lynch. was drowned.
Il Is believed that the mans death
was premeditated.
The man had hardly struck the
wate~ when an alarm was given and
the vessel brought TO a stop. A boat
was lowered and sailors succeeded In
rescuing the body. On the steamer
efforts we're made TO resuscitate
Lynch. but without success.
At the morgue the offlcials found
letter from his wife, dated at the
Hotel Metropole. The contents were
as follows:

Just before Lynch threw himself
into the bay he handed a small pack

without a word OF explanation.

the coroner brought to light mem

ARE OUR ROADS TOO wmEg
German Highways Narrower but
Better Maintained, Says a
Consul

The following information con-
cerning the superiority OF the high
ways of Germany. as compared with
those of the United States, IL fur
nished by Robert j. Thompson. con-
sui at Hanover:
German roads are perhaps subject
ed to hundred times more trafic
than similar roads In the United
States. These roads range from ~
to 80 feet in width, while in our
Middle and western states, whagu
traflc is comparatively light. we take
land OF an average value Of 800 per
acre and cut II up with roadways 6s
feet in width; practically two-thirds
OF the same being given over to
weeds, which furnish an inexhanBt-
ible supply OF seeds for the adjoining
farm lands. The farmer in Germany
who has conquered the weeds on his
ground need have no thought of Them
being started again from underculti-
vation OF uncared for land along the
roadways. There are no weeds. no
mud. no chuck-holes, no sand
stretches in the roads.
One OF the simplest and most prac-
tical measures that could be taken
for the betterment OF roads in the
United States would be to reduce
their width from one-third TO one
half OF what they now are.
In the United States public high
ways in the states given below maX
be estimated as follows: Minnesota.
$4,000; wisconsin, 10000; Michi-
gan, 10000; Iowa, 10000; Kansas.
1000; Nebraska. $4,000; Missouri.
$4,000; Indiana, 10000; Ohio. sO.-
600; total, 100000 Reducing the
width Of these public Highways.
which now average 66 feet, TO 30
feet would give back TO the farmers
OF these states for cultivation $500
900 acres Of generally tillabie land.
which at an average valuation Of
500 per acre would mean the restoS
alton TO the producing values OF the
states named OF $3.50, 100000.

A TALK ABOUT PEARY

days. only one OF which must have
been good going. On March is he
encountered another open lead, He
evidently did not delay there very
long, for he crossed the s5th paral-
lei three days later. Then, with a
burst OF tremendous speed he crossed
the seth parallel on March 23. So In
less than a month he reached the
seth parallel, although, TO use his
own words, he was held up for
seven days" that month by water.
Peary then encountered open leads
from March 2S to March "a, and on
the following day crossed the S7th
parallel. On the very next day he
passed his own record made in April,
1902. on March 27th and 9sth he
encountered another open lead. He
must have encountered another lead
on the 29th, but, with the tremend-
Gus speed he must have been max
ing, succeeded in crossing the ssth
parallel four days later, and two days
later he crossed the seth parallel.
Then II required only two days for
him to reach the pole.
Commander Peary tells a wonder
full story of travel over the polar ice.
To accomplish this he must have
made 80 miles a day for many days,
which was only possible over smooth
ice. The story simply takes my
breath away.
On the return trip the speed seems
even more wonderful. He left the
pole on April Z and reached Cape
Columbia April 23, 490 miles as the
crow flies. Mnen one considers the
moving and shifting OF the ice cur
rents and the necessary trouble he
had to undergo to avoid obstacles,
this distance is considerably In
creased. -
On the 16th day OF March from
the pole TO Columbia he must have
averaged over 81 miles a day, and
with open leads and other obstacles
must have been Obliged to have made
the phenomenal speed OF 40 miles on
every day. do not believe that
Peary encountered very rough ice.
The open leads we're very probably
simple flssures caused by tidal ac'
tion. II appears from the account OF
Peary and also from that OF DR.. Cooh
that the new land 10 the west

The fact that Marvin was with the
supporting party leads me to believe
that Mcmillan was the only white
man with Peary when he made the
final dash.
| must admit, however. that
Peary's figures showing his increased
rapidity on the travelling nearer the
pole confirms Cooks speed state
ments. However, am convinced
from the tone of Peary's message
that he has in his possession facts
which will prove that DR.. Cook is
wrong in his belief that he reached
the pole.

Sept. S.-Commander Robert e,
Peary's brief statement published TO-

entific record OF his trip will show
that he has solved the problem OF
centuries on purely scientific prin-
ciples. His data proves that he ID
the man TO whom the nation owes its
chief debt for the achievement OF
reaching the pole.
Instead of going directly north,
Commander Peary evidently started
west over his own tracks OF three
years ago. and following exactly the
route that he had mapped out.
Peary Is silent regarding the So
600 square miles OF land which DR.,
Cook claims TO have discovered. and
II is almost certain that II Peary had
seen the new land that he would
have spoken OF II.
The return OF Peary In l6 days 10

MORTIMER WHITEHEAD,
Past Lecturer National Grange.

Under the provisions of a law pass
ed by the last Legislature, con-
stables fees are raised from $l.50
a day to $3.50. The new law repeals
all old acts inconsistent with the
provisions of the new and, thereby
arises a question of mileage, which
in some cases means more than the
per diem fee.
The old law gave constables mile
age allowance of six cents per mile;
The new law does not mention any
mileag ge whatever.
Hence the question arises as to
whether or not the mileage provid-
ed under the old act is consistent
ent with the new act which raises
the fee but makes no provision for
mileage.
In Lycoming County, Judg Heart
has instructed the constables now i'll
Office that the new law does not APP
ply during their present terms and
that they are to receive the old fee
and mileage. Sullivan County con,
stables were paid under the old law
for their attendance at the May term
of Court.
But sooner or later the question OF
mileage under the new law will have
to be met by court decision and ii
is matter of no little interest as tC
how the courts will hold.
!, To contables from the border town
ships, the mileage is often create
than the fee now paid and to thes
the new law, if no mileage is allow
ed will mean less pay. To constable
y near the county seat, the new LAY
! even without mileage will mean
It large return.
Atany rate, the average constabi
: is pretty we'll paid considering tn
service rendered. The people woul
, be very glad to pay them better
i they were con the job and hel
their responsibilities less lightly.
