Notes From Mining Science.

One cubic foot of water weighs
81 % lbs.
Bismuth solder can be used under
hot water.
Sodium cyanide is equivalent to
I24 to 128 per cent active potassium
cyanide, and is guaranteed to have a
comparative efficiency of 125 per
cent.
Malapai is a corrupted form of
''mal pals" from the Spanish ''mal,' -
bad, and "pais," country. 1t is used
in Arizona and the Southwest to
designate the black lava-felds or bad
lands.
By rubbing metals with salt, before
applying mercury, the ancients OBJ
tanned a reaction similar to that for
which copper sulphate is used. The
chlorine released from the salt form
ed silver chloride easily attacked
by the mercury, SO as to form an
amalgam.
One of the first attempts at gold
dredging in California was made in
July, 1894, on the American river at
Natoma. 1t was a grub dredger run
by steam power and had capacity
of 500 tons per "a hrs, with two 10 in.
pumps. The scow was Is ft. wide and
80 ft. long. Three men were en-
ployed.
"Metasomatic" is a term used to
describe the replacement of one or
more of the minerals of a rock by
others. The form of the originals
is not at all preserved, as in pseudo
morphs, nor does the chemical COM
position remain the same while the
form alters, as in paramorphs, but
both customarily change.
Allotriomorphic is an adjective
used to describe those minerals in an
| igneous rock which do not possess
their own crystal faces or boundaries,
but which have their outlines i'm
pressed on them by their neighbors.
They result when a number of min
erals crystaliZe at once, so as to in
terfere with each other, and are
especially characteristic of grant
tossed textures.
In treating silver-bearing sulphides
by the cyanide process, fine grinding
is imperative in order to get good
extraction. Besides, the rapidity of
solution increases in proportion to
the fineness of grinding. This fine
grinding is expensive, but if the
grinding is not fine, the cyanide con-
sumption is high. The cyanide man
must find happy medium between
these two evils and thus obtain the
best results consistent with low cost.
In copper smelling, it is not de-
sired to obtain metallic iron, but to
utilize the iron contents of the ore to
form ferrous oxide, which will CON-
bine with the silica and produce an
easily melted Stag. Thus the fur
naces are paratively low, use a
small proportion of coke, and the
charge is SO proportioned as to fuse
at a moderate heat aud form a read
lily fusicle Stag that will run out rap
idly, the column of ore sinking
through the smelling zone before the
temperature is high enough, or the
reducing action of the gases power
full enough to convert the iron oxides
into metallic iron.

]. P. Storm, Former Yavapai Treasurer
ReSentenced.

The celebrated case of the terri
tory against James p. Storm, ex-
treasurer of Yavapai county, con-
victed of the embezzlement of county
funds, came to an end November 9th
when Judge Doe, obeying a mandate
of the supreme court, sentenced
Storm to a term of four years in the
territorial prison, the sentence dating
from above date. Storm was at once
placed in custody and was taken to
Florence by Sheriff Smith to begin
the serving of his sentence.
Several weeks ago Governor Sloan,
before whom the case was first tried,
was presented with a long petition
from Storms friends asking for his
pardon, and there is much specula-
tion as to what action the governor
will take in the matter.
This is the end of the longest and
most hotly contested criminal case in
the courts of this territory. 1t had
its beginning in an event of the
election day of 1904. On the follow
Ping morning Storm was found locked
in the vault of the treasurer's office,
bound with wire. The vault had
been looted. Storm said he had been
attacked by two men the forenoon
before.
The story was suspected from the
beginning, but no action was taken

Four trials followed the indictments.
On the first he was acquitted. Then
there were two hung juries. On the
fourth trial be was convicted and
sentenced to four years in the terri
torial prison.
The case was then taken to the
supreme court, which affirmed the
Judgment of the lower court. The
case was taken to the United States
circuit court of appeals at San Fran
cisco, the first criminal case from
this territory that ever took such
course. That court ruled adversely
to the defense on the only point on
which the case had been taken up
that Storm haying once been acquit-
ted on the blanket charge of embez-
element could not be tried for the
embezzlement of any part of the sum
he was alleged to have misappro-
priated.
The remittitur was sent down last
May and at the late meeting of the
territorial supreme court, the man
date was sent down to Judge Doe.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Ore, April 29.-Tel-
egraphic word has just been received
here from the Washington State col
lege accepting the conditions for a
track meet at Pullman May IL with
the O. A. C. team They have not met
for two years.
In the distances this year, o. A. c..
is not up to what she has been in the
past. and if Coil, w. S. C.'s heavy
man in this event, is able to run in
the meet, he and his strong seconds
will doubtless carry off good bunch
of points Their freshman athlete,
Jay, from Pendleton, is expected to do
great things in the pole vault and the
high jump. He has already broken
scholastic record in the latter. In the
high lump he is now doing about the
same as Chapman of o. A c., and
S. C.'s mainstay in the hammer, shot
and the discus. AS to who will win 1t
is doubtful but Wolff having yet to
meet his equal, stands good show.
Hall is sick with the measles, and 1t
is doubtful if he takes his usual first.
BY May II he may be sufficiently
strong to be entered, but unless his
recovery is rapid he will not take the
trip.
With first place looming up for the
State College as fast as they are it is
probable that o. A c. will take only a
small number of points.

TACOMA'S SHOW is PROVING BIG
GEsT SUCCESS OF ITS BOW

More Than Three Hundred Blooded
CANNES Are Entered and the

TACOMA, April 29.-With 800 high
class dogs competing, representing the
bluest blood in dogdom in the north
west and whole Pacific coast, the Ia
coma bench show is on at the state ar
mory. Mo such dog show as this has
ever before been held in Tacoma, if at
all in the northwest. Not only is the
canine aristocracy of the Pacific coast
entered in the affair, but many former
prize winners and champions of the
east and middle west are also included
in the list and will try for the 40 fine
trophies.
By noon yesterday every dog that
expects to compete for the ribbons and
prizes was on hand, and at o'clock
the judging began. All through the re-
mainder of the week, morning, after

Dogs Begin ts Arrive.
Dogs of all colors, shapes and sizes
were unloaded from the trains and
steamers entering Tacoma yesterday.
Some came from California points,
some from Butte, Mont, while many
came from British Columbia and the
nearer-by northwest cities. The growl-

night indicated in a small way what
the clamor will be when all the dogs
are benched and await their turn to
confront the judge

EVERYBODY TaIkinu Doqs.

Almost everybody in Tacoma has
been talking dogs the past two weeks
and so great is the interest that the
armory should be crowded every day;
especially in the afternoons and at
night. The interest is not confined to
Tacoma alone either. Hundreds of fam
ciers from Seattle and other northwest
cities will attend the snow. The Seat
tie people will come to Tacoma on a
special train tonight. z
And tonight, which has been called
society night" should SEE one of the
largest crowds of the week. Many of
the leading Tacoma society women will
be present as patronesses, while many
more will come as spectators. A large
number of the dogs entered by Taco
mans are owned by the best known
people III the city. Appropriate souve-
Mrs will be given the women this
evening.
Among the distinguished attendants
at the show this week will be Maj.
NJ Taylor, of Rutherford, N. j., one of
the best known judges of dogs in the
country and the oldest judge in point
field trials 33 years ago and bench
shows so years ago. He acted as judge
at the Victoria, B. c.. show two weeks
ago and will judge the Portland show
next week.
Northwest Sees Good Shows.
There has been a wonderful i'm,
provement in the northwest bench
~, &c,
both in the number of entries and the
breed of the dogs shown" said Maj
Taylor yesterday. THE Victoria and
Vancouver shows were high class af-
fairs and the Tacoma show will be the
same, as far as l can learn. I know
some of the dogs entered in the Tacoma
show and I know that they are the top
of their class"
Maj. Taylor will remain in Tacoma
until Sunday
M, Robert Guggenheim, the +smelter
millionaire, who became 80 enthusiasts
tic over the Tacoma show in a few
minutes talk with President Henry
Prince at the depot Monday night that
he changed his plan of meeting the
Pathfinder automobile at Boise, Idaho,
and decided to stay in Tacoma a few
days, will be another visitor this week.
One of Mr. Guggenneim's dogs, Firenze
Newguard, is entered in the English
bulldog class and another, formerly
owned b yhim, but now the property of
Mr. Prince, Merry Widow, will be on
exhibition and try for the prizes. Mr..
Guggenheim has offered one of the
most valuable trophies in the big col
lection for the best dog in the show.
