will be in harmony with our federal
statues relating to the discovery and
development of mineral deposits.

should cooperate with the miner on
the same principle it now so efficiently
co-operates with the farmer through
the agricultural department. To this
end bill is now pending on third read

passed the. house, for the creation Of a
bureau of mines and mining.

Prospector's Reward.

In the history of mining it is the
general rule that the prospector who
is first on the ground in the rich dis
tricts and who undergoes the greatest
hardships in blazing the way and op-
ening up rich ore bodies, is the fellow
who finally is squeezed out at the
small end of the horn and others reap
the reward that should go to the origi-
nal discoverer and pioneers of the big
mining camps. After years of hard
ship and experiences of poverty the
prospector is easily dazzled by an offer
of few hundred dollars for his hold
ings. IT is rarely the case that he is
able to place his property upon large
producing basis and as a general rule
if he does not sell out he is squeezed
out The history of mining is full of
instance where original owners Of val
liable mines have parted with their
interests for a mere trifie and those
who have come after them have been
made millionaires. A case is cited in
Colorado where Bob" WomRck, the
original discoverer of ore in Poverty
gulch, which afterp-ard made the fam
Gus Cripple Creek camp, is now poverty
stricken and a helpless paralytis
living in obscurity with his sister IN
Colorado Springs. More than $780,
600, 600 have been taken from the dis
trict discovered by this old prospectoi
IN 1891 and the mines Of that CAM
have made several millionaires, includ
ing the late Mr. Stratton, and other
who are still living. And 50 4 is wit
nearly every big mining camp in tn
west. The early day prospectors an
now reading with interest Of big diyi
nends being drawn down BY men VIII
have later come into the district an
picked up q few snaps. This is ta
general rule IN the development Q
mines and there Is probably no way I
improve the seemingly unjust condition

Still Use a Little Copper.

The year 1903, for the copper mining
industry, was largely period Of re-
covery from the severe depression
suffered late in 1907, when prices took
a meteoric drop. Most of the big pro-
ducers, and a few mines, however,
worked steadily for a large part Of 1908
and in spite Of the hue and cry about q
tremendous surplus Of the metal the
end Of the year found the price steady,
and a small reserve on hand, in spite
Of fhe fact that the production fol 1905
from ore mined in the United States,
was greater by about 50.0O0;O0o pounds
or between 5 ard 6 per cent, than that
Of any previous year in de history Of
ihe industry.
The total imports Of the metal dur.
ing the last year, were, however, about
l3 per cent less than those Of the year
before, but The exports were 600, 900,
900 pounds, The largest ever RECORDED

square holes sounds paradoxicaf, never
theless it is done, and that with a three
cornerel bit. The three-corne. ed bit
has, of course. something besides a
purely rotary motion about fixed axis,
and that is the interesting point about
the appliance.
The peculiar motion by which the
three-cornered drill is made to bore a
square hole is impaired to it by a
special chuck, which can be fitted upon
any ordinary drill press, lathe, or mill
ing machine. This chuck consists of a
few simple parts, one of which is
screwed directly onto the spindle of the
machine, while another part driven by
it, receives the rotary motion with a
certain amount of side play, the side
play being limited and guided by the
third part of the chuck, which stands
still. The shank of the drill is three
cornered with convex sides and is just
large enough to turn in the square
guide of the stationary part of the
chuck. The result is that the three
corners of the shank travel around the
sides and enter into the corners of the
guide, while at the same time the three
corners of the cutting edges of the
tool strike out square in the work.
The result is highly successful, as the
new tool can be used for boring square
holes in cast iron, steel, brass or wood,
and With the same facility and speed
almost equal to that with which
round hole can be bored.

Start Action.
TOLD TO REMOVE MONUMENTS
Federal Company Threaten to
Use Force.

Unlimbering of the guns has begun
for the big battle which is to take
place between two giant mining com
panies of the Occur d'Alenes and in
which millions of dollars will be in
volved, while it is expected that the
end will not be seen until the highest
court in the land is visited.
The Federal Mining & Smelling COM
pany, the Shoshone Consolidated Min
ing company, the Sierra Nevada Mining
company and the January Mining COM
pany, all represented by w. Clayton
Miller as manager, has placed in the
hands of Sheriff Moffatt an order di-
rected to the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
Mining & Concentrating company de-
manding that the latter remove all
stakes and monuments Of claims SC
located that the boundary lines cross o.
conflict with the holdings of the Fedora
and its allies.
The order will be served this NOR.

faded away in the dim mists of political

Government Holds Very
Little
FIRES must BE STOPPED
Supply Can be Produced Be-
You'd Present Needs.

There are few people in the United
States who have a clear idea of the
amount Of forest wealth yet re naming
in this country. Those who have at all
considered the matter were undoubted-
ly influenced by the condition of that
particular state or section in which they
were familiar.
Those living in practically treeless
region usuaIlysimagined that the coun-
try's timber supply is even more limit
ed than is actually the fact; on the
other hand, with those living in a sec
tion where timber was plenty, the feel
ing is likely to be altogether opposite,
and the tendency leans to Indifference
as regards flie timber problem.
The country's forest resources at the
present time consists Of about $50, OOC
600 acres, or about One-fourth of the
land Of the whole country. The original
forests covered not less than $50, 600, 600
or nearly one-balf.
The forests owned by the government
cover 0ne-fourth OF the total forest
area, and contain one-fifth Of all timber
standing. Forests privately owned
cover three-fourths Of the area and
contain four-hfths Of the standing
timber. Besides having three times
the area and four times the forests, tie
timberland privately owned il generally
more valuable.
Forestry, or conservative numbering
b praeticed on 10 per cent Of The forests
Publicly owned and Oh less than ! rer
cent Of the forests privately owned.
According 70 the Nsoonal Conserya.
