800 feet on it's strike and over 500 feet
on it's dip, showing an average width Ct
over II feet and carrying high milling
values throughout, its known extent is
being gradually extended both on the
strike and the dip, so that it is impos-
| sible to even estimate when a lint
will be found in either direction. THIS
fact has been particularly emphasized
by the workings in the east drift on
the 100 level, the most e~asterly point
of development yet attained in the
mine.
During the past week the vein which
is being followed by this drift has
shown a marked improvement in .ha
value of the ore, with no footwall IN
sight. Since encountering this vein
east of the fault, the general average
of the ore has been of good milling
grade, but for the past few days the
values have shown a p%erceptible IL
crease. Some fabulously rich ore IS
also being encountered in streaks AMI
punches in the slopes, and some of the
richest specimens ever found In the
camp are continually being taken OIL.
There is only one way of expressing tue
condition of the Belmont mine, and taaI
is by saying it is growing bigger AMI
better with development. TonOpaa

UNCLE SANS
Way OF DOING IT.
How He Wishes All the World a
Happy New Year.

IA the world happy New Year
4 n The tick of the time signal in
sirument in the United States
naval observatory at Washington
flashes Americas greeting to the ma
lions Of the world.
Ihis sending forth OF a New Year
greeting Is sentimental in IT'S nature
perhaps. but 1t Is practical In its Illus
tratlon or the accurate time service
that has been adopted by the United
States aud the organization OF Il stand
ara time schedule in this country.
which IL IL hoped some day will extend
throughout the world. So these New
Year greetings of Uncle Sans. which
nave become an annual feature OF tho
national observatory, give an object
lesson to the nations that may lead to
as great reform In universal time
system as Pope Gregory instituted in
the correction OF the Julian calendar.
The first of these New Year mpssa yes
was sent out In 1903, the telegraph
companies entering into the project
with great Interest and energy. The
signals were transmitted at midnight
anG l. and ) Il. m. so that each great
section OF the country received its own
midnight signal direct from the naval
observatory. So successfully was the
plan carried cut and so general was
the Interest In II that IL was decided
to make II feature thereafter.
Some OF The messages sent ont on
these occasions are received In an In
creibly short time. For instance. the
time signal last year was received nj
Sydney. Australia. in two and one
fourth seconds; at Madras, India. I'm a
Traction more than ffty-three seconds:
at Cape Town. Africa. I'm two minutes
and thirty-tve seconds; at Madrid.
Spain. In two and one-half minutes: AT
Lick observatory, Mount Hamilton.
California, In twenty-four one-hun-
dredths of n second. and at Harvard
Observatory. Cambridge. In one-tenth
OF a second.
The Importance OF this time service
Is evidenced by the fact that II fur.
nishes absolute standard time for not
only navigators nj all the chief seaports
of the United States. but for the entire
country except the Pacific coast. which
receives a similar service from the
naval observatory ut the Mare Island
yard. When It Is understood that the
service is rendered at no expense what

error for the year OF only fifteen hun
dredths OF second. The signal goes !
over the wires of the various telegraph i
and telephone companies, regulating |

ABOUT A CRITIC.
1t may be said that musical criti
cism is the youngest of the profes
sions. Some may deny it being a pro
fession at all. Others may declare, in
another sense, that it is all profession
However 1t is probably one Of the
least understood employments by
those whom it most affects. The real
mission of criticism is to educate II
1t does not do that it is worthless
Its musical value is as sounding brass
and tinkling cymbal. The first duty
Of the critic is to widen the under
standing of the public: to influence
the artist for good by causing his lis
teners to appreciate the best and de.
spise the worst. When this is kept
in mind by the writer. criticism lis
raised to the level of an art: to ex
plain clearly and widen general com
prehension require knowledge and
