unreasonable processes" under
ground water and depth of oxidation"
and genesis of the deposits
According to the author, the inti-
mate association of. unusually rich
gold ores with the mineral alunite is
the most remarkable feature of the
deposits and proves that the ores were
deposited from solutions containing
sulphuric acid. Several hypothesis
have been advanced to account for this
acidity- The theory favored in the
present paper postulates that the ore
constituents We're brought up in hot
solutions charged with hydrogen sui
phide. "A little carbon dioxide. and
probably some alkali sulphides: that
the hydrogen suiphide was oxidized at
and near the surface to sulphuric acid
which percolated down through the
warm rocks to mingie with the upris-
ing currents carrying sulphyfiric acid:
and that the precipitation Of the rich
est ores took place in the zone where
the two kinds of solutions mingled and
as consequence of such mingling.

The north pole discovery has re-
called the fact that an army officer
some years ago Travelled some I'm the
northern regions. Captain Joseph s.
Heron of the Second cavalry, now ad-
jutant of the West Point military
ecademy. one of the younger officers,
shortly after his graduation from West
Point. 10 years ago, explored Alaska
and found n safe overland route from
fields. He also discovered the second
highest peak in Alaska and made
some fine maps of that country. His
operations began June 30, 1899. on the
keechatno river. and covered n thou
sand miles. he being out five months
and half. He carried along Is pack
horses. two red men. and was accom-
panied by six white men. The trip
was not without its hardships, his In
dian guides deserving him after they
were out but a couple of weeks, and
he was compelled to follow the sun
and compass. In August Captain Her.
ron was injured by pack horse fall
ing on him, but he pressed on. Later
two of the horses met death by snag-
ging. and early in September an
earthquake struck the party. Toward
the end of the route the party strapped
their equipment on their backs a la
Nelson fashion. and despite all the inn
pediments encountered made the ex-
plorations as above stated.

That phrase of the street. make a
noise like something to eat" etc,
originated In the army, according to
well defined reports. Captain Henry
q. Lyon is the innocent author. 1t
came about in this way. Captain
Lyon was an instructor of detach-
ment of the New York national
guard at its summer camp of 1906 at
Peekskili. during which he urged his
students to make their commands clear
and like an officer. A witty private
overheard the instruction and turned
it into the present slang of the street.

Washington. Sept. "a report of
the geological survey states that 49,
$50 tons of asphalt and bituminous
rock. valued at sl.sss.ssl, was pro-
dueed in this country, as against 22S,-
SCI tons. with a value of s2.s2s, 4ss, in
1907.
The war department has designated
the state National bank of Miles City
as a depository of public moneys.
Last year 1858 tons of mineral
paints. valued at s5s6.5i4. were pro-
duced in this country, an increase of
slightly over 1000 tons and of $1,000 in
value.
First Sergeant James II. Warner of
Company d, Fourth United States in
fantry, now en- route from the Philip
pine islands. has the unique distinction
of having served more than 30 years
in one regiment. This is rare occur
renee. and his commanding officer
made the feat the subject of a special
appreciative order to the service highly
praising the soldier. Sergeant War
ner is one of those rare soldiers whom
the army can i'll afford to lose says
Colonel Bolton in the order, his exam
pie and influence being we'll worthy
the best efforts to initiate. Serving
continuously for 80 years without a
court martial, first sergeant of Com
pany d for Is years, notwithstanding
the many changes in company COM
manders during the past IL years, and
always retaining the greatest conf
dence and respect of the officers, as
well as the obedience, esteem and
honor of the men under him, is rec
ord of no mean order. which all SOL
diers should earnestly covet. Sergeant
Warner rejoined the regiment at old
Fort Laramie, Wyo., after a previous
service of five years in it, from June,
1878, to June, 1888, and sharing ever
since all of its hardships and yicissi-
tudes incident to Indian campaigns,
winter or summer, on the western
frontier: passing through the same
gauntlet during the war with Spain.
in Cuba, and serving with the regi-
ment in all of its service these many
years in the Philippines since 1899
including the Philippine insurrection,
during which he obtained a certificate
of merit-merits another encomium in
the roll OF military honors.''
