gas within. The difficulties OF ranging by
the artillery will be very great.
The question Of navigation Of the air
as a possibility was settled when during
the last eight years the weight Of motors
10 the horsepower was reduced from So
to s.8 pounds. The great question now is
how to construct an airship with great en-
durance for long voyages-that Is perfectly
reliable to 60 for several days. like the ships
that nj navigate the sea.
Here again the Zeppelin has q great ad-
vantage on account OF Its so-called dynamic
power. By taking an inclined position In
tho vertical place the kite affect comes into
play, n this gives the airship a component
tending to raise or lower II, depending on
whether the bow is raised or lowered by
the force OF the wind or air alone. without
using the motors. This dynamic effect is
very great and is estimated at 400 pounds
In the Zeppelin airship.
The rigid airship Is therefore really a
combination OF a motor balloon and an
aeroplane. The idea that such a large
balloon envelope as that Of the Zeppelin
will lose so much gas in the sun or at high
elevations as TO render II unserviceable Ia
also untenable; as q matter OF fact Il will
lose a certain amount. but after that the
Gas will simply expand orToontract In It's
envelope. and the latter will merely vary
in tension. The dynamic power
is more than sufficient to overcome all
effects from this cause.
Both Krupp and Ehrhardt have manu-
artillery guns for firing on air
ships, but the difficulties Of ranging are very
great. The Ehrhardt gun hres a 2 inch

The Topeka members of the board of
directors of the Inspiration Mining Co.,
&c. o. Knowles, S. S. OFT and w. A.
Neiswanger. were notified Saturday
night by the following telegram:
New York. Jan 9, 1909
w. a. Neiswanger, Topeka, Kansas.
Agreement ratified, papers passed,
money deposited, stock put up.
HE. T. WILDER"
This action was taken in New York
Immediately after the special meeting
of the stockholders of the Inspiration
Mining Co, to ratify the option con-
tract for the sale of the company's
mines near Globe to VIM. B. Thompson
of New York, and Geo. E. Gum of Salt
Lake City, which was held Saturday
forenoon in Globe, Arizona. over g.
26o,0 900 shares of the 2,70O 900 shares out
standing. were voted to ratify the con-
tract and no opposition was offered
whatever to the contamination of the
deal. At the conclusion of the meeting,
the result of the vote was telegraphed
to Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Wilder, the
secretary and treasurer of the company
in New York. Mr.. Thompson immedf-
ately deposited to the order of the
company $240, 800, (having previously
paid SO. 1000 and received %, 900 shares of
the preferred stock and $4,000 shares of
the common in the Inspiration Copper
the date agreed upon in the optional
contract, Jan. 10, 1909, is due to the
fact that plans for the development of
the ms piration property have already
been matured and the new parties de-
sired to start the work at the earliest
possible moment. The $3.50, 900 deposited
and $750,000 additional to be paid within
the next year will be expended to de-
velop and equip the property.
The contract provides for further nay
ment by Mr.. Thompson aggregating 3d.
022, 120 before Jan. IS, 1911, which it is
understood will be used for the con-
struction of a concentrating mill and
other works to treat the ore.
The Inspiration which adjoins the Mi
ami site on the south and west has L.
500 900 tons of sulphide ore blocked out
and is sufficiently opened to indicate
that it will develop into one of the larg
est copper mines in the southwest.
Messrs. Gum and Thompson, the pur-
chasers Of the Inspiration, are said by
the Topeka directors to be men of high
standing in financial circles and very
successful as mining promoters, having
been identified with the floating of the
Nevada Consolidated and Cumberland
Ely and the Utah Copper Co. They are
now developing the Mason Valley Cop
per property in Utah. Mr.. Thompson
fioated the Nipissing and the La Rosa
properties at Cobalt, Canada. Messrs.
Gum and Thompson are millionaire OPP
| orators and have a large following and
they have in the Inspiration, the direc-
/ tors say, copper property that offers
| a rare opportunity for the development
of one of if not the greatest of mining
enterprises in the southwest.

/ Mining Co, while they receive for their
property near Globe large interest in

all their stock which will cover the

Senator Brewster. of Cy Leland's
town. is the man in first place on the
list by districts. Here's a prediction
that he will hover around first place on
the list of worthwhile senators. He
is certainly near the head of the list
in good looks. A heavy crop of iron
gray hair and other characteristics of
makeup, lends a likeness to the Mark
Twain of 20 years ago. He comes from
a district which has furnished some of
the great and near-great politicians of
the age, and has had an opportunity to
study politics near the grass roots.

Great thoughts came to both branch
es of the legislature Tuesday afternoon,
in package form, and while each legis-
lator held copy with a printed version
of the paper-backed variety, a leather
Iunged reading clerk expounded the
gospel of Stubbs. And it may be truth
fully said, that no matter what the
sentiment with which the governors
ed profound neutrality-suspicious. which
| is unusual in the history of governors
messages.
No doubt. there is much. wisdom in
secretary, and the message may have
a wholesome effect. However, other
governors have sought to tame the KAN
sas senate and shatter it's time-honored
customs. His reference to the omni-
bussing of local bills as a vicious prac-
tice," is liable to arouse smoulderlng
crouch. The senate, in the past, has
held that 1t was competent to attend to
it's own business in its own way, and
has not been in the habit of Jackpot
ting local bills without a close scrutiny
and an open investigation by the en-
tire BODY.
The senate has not expressed an opin-
ion of the message as yet. This opinion
will be expressed later BY deeds instead
! of words.
The governors message contained at
least one suggestion which meets with
the approval of the legislature, and that
is the prevention of free-for-an lobby
methods.
THE lobbyist is not so bad unless he
insists upon chewing your ear while you
are attempting to hear the proceedings,
remarked senator last evening, but
the professional lob is no respector of
time, place or person. He is liable to
nail member while the latter is try
ling to get recognition by the chair, or
talking to his wife over the telephone
Too much floor lobbying is a blamed
nuisance, and should be abated."
