HEMENWAY PASS
PROPERTIES BEING ACTIVELY
DEVELOPED
Wingfield and Nixon Supposed
to be Backing the Camp

As a result of the deal whereby F. j.
Siebert and his associates acquired the
group Of twenty claims known as the
Mesaba properties from X. b. Sproui,
W. X. Croft, p. II. Mclaughlin and j.
\. Delemater, the Mesaba district, near
Hemenway Pass is attracting much at
tention. The camp has been rechrist-
tened by Mr.. Seibert and is now known
as "Fredellen Camp"
Work on a large scale has been com
.menced and every indication is that this
property will now receive the develop
ment necessary to place it among the
greatest producers Of the west.
Preliminary work is being done on
several parts of the property in prepara-
ton for the heavier work OF sinking al
drifting which has been planned. The
present force of twelve men is being in
creased as fast as possible. A substan-
tial perm anent camp has been esta-
blished for the comfort of the men.
Mr.. Siebert who is in active charge
of the enterprise, is a well known min
ing engineer of Goldfeld. He expresses
great faith in the proposition and his
standing in the mining world is such as
as to give his opinion great weight.
The property it is stated bids fair to
become one of the greatest copper pro-
ducers of the country. The formation
consists Of lime, porphery and rhyolite.
The iron gossan Gaping exhibits the
same peculiarities of formation which are
present in the great copper camps OF
Bisbee, Ariz, Cananea, Mexico and
Iron Mountain, Cal. Those familiar
with these camps find the similarity
most striking.
While Mr.. Siebert is the active head
of the Camp Fredelen" properties, it
is stated on good auth ority that George
Wingfeld, Senator Nixon and others
of no less note in the financial world
are backing the enterprise. This is
Of the utmost Importance to thls sses.z
ton. 1t means that when the owner
of a good property needs money for
its proper development he can get It,.
1t means that if the properties are OF
sufficient value to justify it, mills, smell
ters, railroads and every means neces-
sary to put the mines on a paying basis
will be forthcoming.
The district has never been wanting
in mineral, but the lack of transpora-
ton for many years, and later the diff
Guilty of interesting capital, have made
it impossible to do much development
work The district is very large and
great opportunities lie open to both the
capitalist and prospector.

amount of money was expended
in building roads, piping water and

it was necessary to abandon the

SOME PECULIAR EPITAPHS
Lot of Funny Ones Found on Tomb
stones in Pennsylvania.

TOBIAS BROWNS is A REAL GEM

Few regions afford so interesting a
field for the epitaph, collector as the coun-
ties Of southeastern Pennsylvania round
about Philadelphia, which were originally
peopled to a large extent by Germans. In
the ancient burial grounds of this district
there are many repetitions of that one time
popular tombstone stanza which is found
in nearly every old cemetery:
Reader. behold as you pass by,
AS you are now so once was l;
As ] am now so you must be,
Prepare for death and follow me,
But besides the repetition of various fav-
orite epitaphs there are many original
outbursts in these Pennsylvania cemeteries.
For instance, in the pretty churchyard at
Whitemarsh, where members Of many
wealthy suburban families Of modern
times repose. the grave Of John Barge,
who died in 1865. is marked by a stone
which bears this stanza:
Life Is a cheat
And always shows Il;
i thought SO once,
And now / know IL.
A few miles further west, I'm the ceme-
terry Of st. Johns Lutheran church. Center
Square, is this epitaph. the third line Of
which doubtless was gratifying to those
he dealt with:
Farewell. my wife and children dear,
! am not dead but sleeping here;
MY debts are paid. my grave you see,
Wait, but your time and follow me.
South Of the Schuylkill river the Vincent
Baptist burying ground contains a stone
on which in raised letters appears this
legend, probably dictated by a family OF
loving children:
OUR PAPP."
Bucks county's ~graveyaTds supply sew
cral unusual epitaphs. A stone In the Gem
etery at Morrisville is inscribed thus:
In memory Of Samuel McCracken,
Who died April l, 1862.
II leading politicians and priests
All go TO Heaven, then ] am bound
To stop at some other station.
McCraeken made ar agreement with the
cemetery association for the erection OF
this monument and then committed suicide
by cutting his throat. Beside McCrackeB
rests his wife, and the inscription on the
stone at her grave. IN contrast with that
on the adjoining marker, reads thus:
In memory Of Phoebe. wife Of Samuel
McCracken. who died March %, 1860. She
died a firm believer In Christ, her Savior.
A crude picture OF a horse kicking a
boy is the principal feature OF a tombstone
in q cemetery near Doyiestown. and be-
meath the carving are these words:

revolution, and moreover are not at the
extremities Of the same diameter.
The magnetic elements OF the earth are
three, declination, inclination and intens-
ity, Deelination is another name for the
variation Of the compass, and is the angle
the magnetic needle makes with the true
meridian. Inclination is the angle the dip
ping needle makes with the horizon. 1t Is
measured by supporting a magnetic needle
on its centre OF gravity, placing It in the
magnetic meridian, and leaving It free to
turn in a vertical plane. At the mag
netic poles the dipping needle dips ninety
degrees, that is, stands perfectly upright.
At the magnetic equator. which for OBJ
vious reasons canrot coincide with the
astronomical equator, the dip is zero. and
the needle is horizontal. And lastly, the
third element is the intensity, which means
simply the strength of the earth's magnet
ism at any place.
Three Magnetic Elements.
These three magnetic elements, especially
the declination, which is of such vital inn
portance in navigation and travel gener-
ally, have been pretty we'll determined all
over the earth. This is true TO the ex-
tent that they may be approximately pre-
dicted for places in which they nave mol
yet been actually measured. l say approx
imately because actual magnetic surveys
rave disclosed many important errors.
And, moreover, all the three elements are
subject to accidental and periodic varia-
lions. The accidental variations are called
magnetic storms, and the periodic ones are
divided into diurnal. annual and secular
changes. Explorers cannot. therefore
trust the compass implicitly. On the other
hand, the Magnetic element they observe
add a welcome amount TO our store Of in
formation.
As one Of the magnetic poles OF the
earth has been we'll located and been act
ually occupied by explorers, we have a
somewhat definit knowledge Of it's mag
netie elements. But the whole scientific
world is much interested to know what the
magnetic elements Of the poles Of revo.
luton are, and TO what variations they
are subject. Fixed magnetic observatories
at all the four poles, the two magnetic and
the two revolutional, is one of the day
dreams Of science.

Of the cold followed by the long insulation
is another exceptional feature. A meteor,

could erect an observatory at the poles.
We can find space here only TO hint al

greatly by polar exploration, such as geol,

others. The polar sea would probably bs

SCIENCE AND THE POLES
Movement of the Earth and Effec'
at the Axis.
HOW ASTRONOMERS GET RESULTS
Actual Occupation of the Poles by
Ob~servatOries Would vastly In-
crease the sum of Human
knowledge.

The actual occupation OF the poles would
add enormously to the advancement OF
science" is the contention Of Rev. william
r. Rigge. s. j., director OF the Creighton
university observatory. In the initial num-
Der OF the Creighton Chronicle, the dis
tlnguished astronomer condenses a vast
amount of information concerning the
I earth's movements. the difference at the
poles and the equator, and the needed light
science would gain from prolonged observa-
ions at the esrth's axis. The paper fol-
lows.
The poles of the earth are, in the math-
ematfcal az wen as in the ordinary sense
Of the WORD, singular points, that is to
say. they possess many essential features
which do not apply in any way to other
points on the earth's surface.
BY definition the poles are the extremi-
ties Of the earth's axis, The earth. as We
know. Is a big ball. and is turning. That
It is a bail. or approximately a sphere, is
proved by this appearance of vessels al
sea, by the equal dip Of the horizon In al
directions. by the different aspect Of the
starry heavens as seen from different
points on It's surface. by the shadow IL
casts upon the moon in a lunar eclipse, and
lastly by extended measurements Of its
surface, That it is in rotation ia proved by
the classical experiment OF Foucsult's pen
duium. by the gyrOscope, and the devia-
ton Of proiectiles. and especially by the
science Of celestial mechanics. which estab-
fishes it's rotation as an essential postu-
late.
We know also that the earth is carried
forward bodily as a whole. and that its
center moves in a well-defined orbit about
the sun. This feature does not interest us
at present, and We shall dismiss Il with
the statement that the earth runs a little
over a million and a half miles a day, and
IN so doing turns round once on is axis in
moving forward about two hundred times
its own length. This, as We see. is a very
moderate ratio,

Complicated Movements.

The axis OF revolution about which the
earth revolves is not fixed IN the earth
as one would naturally suppose, and as
even scientific men supposed. until the
contrary was proved 1t moves about in
a very complicated manner. The poles
shift on the ground In a space about sixty
feet in diameter. There are two compo-
nents to the motion. The first has a pc
Rod of one year, and moves the pole Of
revolution in an ellipse, whose major axis
is about twenty-eight feet and minor axis
about eight feet. The centre OF this elipse
is a. certain fixed point termed the pole
of symmetry or the pole of figure. The
second component moves the pole of revo-
luton in a circle about this same pole
of symmetry as a centre. This circle has
a diamete of about thirty feet, and the
period is 42S days. Both motions are in
the same direction. from west to east.
The ellipse swings round slowly In the
opposite direction at the rate of about
five degrees a year, and there seems 10
be another variation with a period Of
about 4S6 days.
These results have been obtained by as
tronomers without leaving their observa-
tories, by observing the variations Of their
ATTITUDES. Places on opposite meridians
behaved oppositely; when one approached
the pole by increasing it's latitude the
other departed from It by decreasing its
own the Identical amount. In this way
It was proved that the continents did not
sway TO and fro, but that the axis Of revo-
luton itself shifted In the earth.
Actual Observation Needed.
This splendid achievement OF modern
science would receive much confirmation
and would be prosecuted with less labor
and with better results. by an extended
series OF observations made near the
poles themselves. This would, OF course,
require the refined Instrumental outfit OF
a large and fixed observatory.
The occupation OF the pole BY a fixed
observatory would have no other astronom.
ical advantage. The apparent diurnal mo
tons of the heavenly bodies as seen from
the poles are known to every elementary
student. The mounting OF the instruments
would give rise TO no special theoretical
or mechanical problems. The advantage
OF the long night Of six months. which
the twilight would cut down TO about
three, would be offset by the at least
equally long day. Observations by day OF
by night would most probably be much
interfered with by the weather, So that
as far as the observation Of the heavenl
bodies is concerned. the poles are rather al
a disadvantage. and this the more because
only half the hsavens is visible at each
OF them.
