ATTEMPT NOW SAME
AS ACCOMPLISHMENT
AIT JUST SIGNED BY GOVERNOR
WILL TEND TO SHIELD AS
SAULT VICTIMS AND TO
PREVENTLYNCHJNGS

Governor Ansel has signed the act
which places attempts toravish upon
the same basis as actual commission
of the crime.
When the bill to this effect came
up in the senate there was consider
able discussion, but there were strong
and convincing arguments made in
favor of the bill and it passed both
houses.
Governor Ansel has notified all
the circuit judges of the new law.
The bill provides that attempts to
assault shall be punishable by death
it is left to the discretion Of the jury
to comute the sentence to life impris-
onment; the victim shall be allowed
to testify before the court ster o graph
er and attorneys, her testimoney then
to be read in open courn.
Governor Ansel recommended le.
gislation Of this kind in his last an.
nual message to the Legislature. 1t
was felt that something should be
done to aid in decreasing lynch law
and it is believed tnat in this meas
ure will bring about better conditi-
on. That the actual crime is not com
mitted usually has no weight with a
mob: in fact it makes them all the
more eager to lynch the brute, be-
cause they feel that when the case
comes to court the prisone will get
off with few years sentence. This
is one of the best acts passed at the
last session of the legislature. 1t pra-
ctically removes all valid excuses for
lynchings for offenses of this charac-
ter and is long step forward in the
right direction.

OF BLACKSDUhG TEACHER.

Blacksbnrg, March IA rather
unique feature in the way of puni-
shment has been inaugurated in the
graded school here. Some of the
boys who were kept in" after
school, requested Superintendent
Montgomery to allow them to go out
into the school yard and spend their
time in work instead Of being conf
ned in the building. Mr. Montgomery
being a very reasonable and sensible
man, readily acquiesced and heartily
inferred their plan, directing the boys
in their work, requiring them TO lay
off and make flower beds, etc, and
furnishing seed for them, thereby
beautifying the school yard and in
culcating into the boys minds ideas
of order and beauty The boys are
delighted, the number of culprits in
creased, and under proper control.
no doubt much good work will be
done.

MAGAZINE ARTICLE.

New York. Dec. a5.-Hampton's
Magazine comes out in its January
number with an article tracing the his
tory of the mining engineer and show :
g. ing his importance in the development
of modern mining. The article is by
Eugene p Lyle. Jr.. who has spent the
greater part of the past year investi-
eating conditions in the mines Of this
country. Speaking of the mining en-
gineer's troubles. ne says:
Harder to detect than sailing is a
mine that is dressed for examination.
This means that on each level the vein
is purposely and cunningly dug away.

neer cannot fail To examine. II he is
not on his guard. he gets much higher
results than the mine warrants. Cave
ins. piles of waste and so forth are used
to conceal abandoned workings. which.
If seen by the engineer, would reveal
that the vein at such places had either
pinched out or been worked out.
AT the Broken Hill mine in Aus
tralia an engineer was deceived in this
way. His client had an option on the
property. but the owners struck 1t rich
and did not wish 70 sell at the price

though an able man. was deceived. He
got only low-gradc samples. and ad-
vised against the purchase. The mine

of silver.
John Hays Hammond tells n story
of his younger days that is pertinent.
HE was sent to examine mine
owned by Jews in northern county
of California. II was intimated to him
before ne started that Ii he made an
unfavorahle report he would never
come out alive. He arrived and, from
the isolated situation of the mine, per-
ceived that it would be a very easy
matter to carry out the threat. He was,
however. received most heartily and
entertained at big dinner by the own
ers. Then he went to work. He was
given all facilities for doing the sam
pling behind a bulkhead. which re-
moved the possibility of any intrusion
No one. it seemed. could tamper with
the ore while he was sampling it. The
owners laid great emphasis on their
enabling him to do this sampling with
every fairness. They thought him n
green youngster. But. unperceived by
them. he contrived to take some sam
pies Of his own and assayed them. He
found that they did not correspond
with the samples that he had taken
with their knowledge.
HE said nothing, however. but sug-
gested that the samples be milled: this
he knew. was exactly what the owners
wanted. So the ore was ground fine in
the mill and proved to be very rich
Hammond showed the proper enthu-
siasm. but. he said. their mill man
though good man, was not getting all
the values out. He proposed sending
the samples away tn be miiied over
again. The owners looked worried but
The Daily Missoulian., 1909-12-26

they could not reasonably object, so
Hammond sent the samples away by
express, and followed himself n few
days later.
"At his leisure he extracted $4,000
gold from the samples. This $4,000 was
pure salt The mine owners had sift-
ed that much gold into their samples
Hammoad's own samples ran almost
nothing. He saved the salt and
charged it to expenses. The rascals
later threatened suit. but Hammond
merely replied that ne wished they
would sue him. They never did
