The sentitiveness of a level is
usually stated by giving the angle
corresponding to a one-inch move
ment of the bubble. Good engineers
levels have a motion of 12O to 200
seconds per inch, or a radius of
curvature of 40 to IS feet.
The rating of air-compressors,
when expressed in the number of
rock-drills to which they are capable
of supplying air, is usually based up
on consumption of volume of air
at so pounds per square inch press
ure, or about 100 to ITO cubic feet of
free air per second.
The standard boiler horsepower,
according to the Am. Sec. M. E., is
an evaporation of 30 pounds of water
per hour from a feedwater tempera-
ture of 100 degrees F. into steam at
20 pounds gauge pressure, which is
considered equivalent to 34.5 units of
evaporation; that is, to $40 pounds
of water evaporated from a feed
water temperature of 2l2 degrees F.
into steam at the same temperature.
Water softening, where the hard
ness is due to lime sulphate, may be
accomplished by the addition of bar
ium carbonate. Barium sulphate is
produced and lime carbonate forms,
both of which are nearly insoluble,
and will precipitate. Barium hydrate
may also be employed. which has the
advantage of ,decomposing the lime
salt with the formation of Gao, which
will reduce the soluble lime bi-car-
Donate to the insoluble carbonate.
The high cost of barium salts is an
obstacle to it's wide use for this pur-
pose.
Sodium amalgam must be made
with great care in a cast-iron retort,
or in a mercury flask, adding the me-
tallic sodium gradually in small
pieces. The quicksilver must be per-
fectly free from moisture, else the
sodium will be oxidized in decompos-
ing the water, and will thus be rem.
dered unavailable for amalgamating
with the quicksilver. This will show
why it would serve no useful purpose
to add metallic sodium in the mortar
in stamp-milling. The sodium would
be converted into caustic soda
| (NaOH) at once on coming in con.
tact with the water.
Lithium, the lightest of the metals
is used in commerce, chiefly in the
form of the chloride and other salts
as a medicine. These are beneficial
in equity affections, on account of the
fact that lithium salts react with
uric acid, forming extremely soluble
urates, which are readily eliminated
from the system. The principal
sources of lithium are lithia mica
or lepidolite, a translucent minera'
of pearly lustre, having a very com
pick chemical composition, and
spodumene, which is a simple silicate
of alumina and lithia. Lepidolite
contains from 4 per cent. to pei
cent of lithia (that is, lithium oxide)
while spodumene contains from pei
cent. to per cent. These minerals
have been found in such quantitie:
in San Diego county, Cal, that the
market is overstocked, and will
probably remain so for years. Amoly'
gonite, however, could be disposed
of. This is a fuo-phosphate OF
alumina and lithia, containing AS pei
cent. of phosphoric acid and 10 per
cent. of lithia. 1t forms coarse crys
tails of pearly lustre, and usually
pale green to blush color.

The Black Diamond Mining &

group of claims in the Dragon noun
tains, is to resume operations after
an idleness of two years. There are
100 tons of ore on the dump at the
Swain property that will average %
to 30 per cent. lead, and 5 per cent.
copper, with some silver and gold
The water is being lowered slowly in
the Tombstone Consolidated. and it
is thought that the work will be COM
pleted by the end of summer when
the old drifts will be retimbered and
the slopes opened. The west drift
from the bottom of the shaft at the
Whitehall group, in the Paradise
district, is in ore assaying 10 per
cent. copper. Work is to be resumed
this month on the Arizona
group in Round valley. The flow of
water in the south drift of the Mary
property at CORTLAND is still so
heavy that the company has not re-
sumed work in that portion of the
mine. The work of Prospecting the
Silverton with diamond drill from
the Mary workings is still being ear:
ried on.

Arizona Mining News.

Florence Blade-Tribune: All the
churn drill men we're laid off by the
Ray Consolidated Copper company
last week, as sufficient ore has been
blocked out by the drill bores to in
sure d steady mill supply for the
5,000-ton concentration, running
steadily for thirty years. There is
not another group of mines in the
world with such an ore reserve il
sight. This lay off affects abou,
forty men. They are all frst-class
citizens and we hope they will find
employment with the company in
other departments.
Kingmau Miper: The Chloride
Gold Mining company is removing its
engine and compressor from the
Samoan mine, near the top of the
mountain, above Chloride, and put
ting it in place at the site of the
proposed tunnel. The grading for
the tunnel adit is completed and the
machinery will be set right away.
1t is expected that the big drills will
bore into the mountain at a rapid
rate and that the veins will be tap
ped at a depth of nearly 1000 feet
within a year or less In driving this
tunnel many veins will be cut and
other properties besides the Samoan
will be enabled to work cheaply
through this bore. L. Hoffman is the
manager of the company and is get
ting things in shape as fast as posi-
BILE.
Florence Blade-Tribune: Supt. F.
S. Hoyt, of the Superstition Noun
tain Mining company, has joined G.
W. French, of Florence, in the work
of developing the latter's copper
property, situated at the base of
Poston's Butte, one and half miles
northwest of Florence. Mr.. Hoyt
sent a sample of the ore to the e.
Paso smelter and after Analysing it,
the smelling company made an offer
of $3.50 per ton for the ore f. o. b.
| Florence. AS the mine is only about
one-quarter of a mile from the
Florence depot the ore can be mined
and placed on board cars at the de-
pot for about half that amount pei
ton. Mr.. Hoyt will probably begir
shipping as soon as he can place the
mine in condition to permit ore ex
traction on a large scale.

MRS. SOWL SUES RAILWAY
FOR CASA VERDUG0 NAME

Asking $4,000 damages and the ex-
elusive use of the words Casa Ver-
dugo," Mrs. Piedad Yorba Sowl yes
terday filed in the superior court
suit against the Pacific Electric Rail-
way company.
Mrs. Sowl and her husband, Charles
Sowl, under the direction of the rail-
way, conducted the cafe known as
sCasa Verdugo" for five years. A
dispute arose and the establishment
was left to the railway, which had it
leased. The Sowls sought a new place
nearby for the opening of another
establishment of a similar nature, and
formed two companies, known as
"Casa Verdugo" and Casa Verdugo,
Inc.," for which articles of incorpora-
tion were filed, the evident intention
being to obtain the use of the familiar
name of the cafe.
For awhile, it is alleged, the rail-
way company resorted to every means
to make the public believe that Casa
Verdugo" was closed for repairs, even
using newspaper columns 1t is
averred, to give that impression. Then,
November "a, with j. r. Brabo, former
ly of Santa Barbara, as manager. 1t
reopened the old place under the name
of "Casa Verdugo."
Now Mrs. Sowl wants $4,000 as
damages and an injunction issued, pre-
venting the railway from using the
name casa Verdugo" on any sign or
in connection with a restaurant. 1t
also is alleged that the railway is not
authorized by it's articles of incorpora-
ton to conduct restaurant.

Music


Levy's cafe chantant shows the best
program given for weeks. The Co.'S
mopolitan trio continues as headliner
A clever rendition of the trio from
Carmi was distinct hit last evening.
Signor Porcini, the baritone, sang the
prologue from "Uagliacci' and Nine
Ferrari gave as her offering the Creole
Love Song. the tenor number being an
excellent rendition of "Pallide Mannua-
loe." Miss Doris Wilson, singing COM
medienne, comes from New York with
new songs artistically done and new
gowns, most satisfactorily worn. Her
selections were 1.-The Swallows" For
All Eternity" and yesterday"
Sharp and Turek, blackface comed-
ians, furnish the comedy element;
Miss Sharp's selection with Dance
i've Got Your Number" is above the
usual vaudeville stunt. "L.asses Candy
Chile" is a passable duet, and the
dance eccentric proved a terpsichorean
novelty.
Ethel Leslie, the prima donna So
prano of the Levy aggregation, sang
"My Dreams and 1.-THE Carnival"
s.
The Shrine auditorium auto show has
something worth while in the musical
line. The Ohimeyer Carnival band
has soloists, who would do credit to
a symphony orchestra. Nine. STAN
tonne and her Venetian Ladies' or
chestra adds tone to the general en-
semble.

MILLION EASTERNERS VIEW
EXHIBITS OF CALIFORNIA

Charles L. Wilson. superintendent of
exhibits for the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce, returned yesterday after
an extended trip throughout the east
and says that more than million per-
sons visited the Los Angeles and San
Diego exhibits in the great agricultural
expositions Of the east in the summer
and fall.
"The exhibits at Chicago, Pittsburg,
Cincinnati and Richmond, Ind, attract
ed a great deal of attention" said Mr..
Wilson yesterday. more than half a
million persons heard our lectures on
Southern California and many Of them
expressed desire to come to this part
of the country. 1t was somewhat OF
hardship for our Southern Californians
to endure the cold of the east, but We
believe that untold good has been ac-
complshed and made up for the in
convenience which we experienced"

LIQUOR DEALER MEETS
SEVERE PUNISHMENT
License of Conrad Winters Re-
voked for Permitting Mi
n0TS in Saloon

Severe punishment was inflicted by
the police commission last night on
Conrad Winters, when his permit to
conduct saloon at Thirtieth street
and Central avenue was revoked be-
cause four young men under 21 years
were in his place on two occasions for
from three to ten minutes at a time.
An incident of the case was that
Judge d. K. Trask, a former member
of the police commission, appeared as
attorney for Winters, and one of the
first things Judge Trask did was to
make the star witness for the prosecu-
ton Exhibit A for the defense. This
witness was Warren Sisson, who said
he was only Is years old, but is six
feet and one inch tall.
Judge Trask asked the commission
ers to look at the witness and see if
they would not consider thatehe was
more than 21 years old. Sisson and
four other young men, all about Is
years old and all members of the
Haven Methodist church, testified that
they had obtained beer and whisky in
Winters saloon on two occasions. But
Winters was not tried for selling liquor
to minors, as there is no city ordinance
prohibiting such SALE The ordinance
makes 1t a misdemeanor to permit
minor to enter and remain in a saloon
and this was thes charge against the
saloon keeper.
While the evidence was conclusive
that the boys were in the place it was
the first time a case of the kind had
been tried by the commission and it
was expected that a suspension of
license for 80 or 60 days would be the
punishment. Commissioner Wellborn
would not vote for the revocation of
the license. Commissioner Davidson
was not present.
Winters has conducted his saloon at
the same location for twenty years
and last night was the first time he
had "been on the carpet" His was the
last saloon outside the liquor zone
and no permit ever can be granted
again for his place of business.

BOARD GRANTS WHOLESALE
LIQUOR PERMITS TO TWO

The board of supervisors granted
two wholesale liquor licenses yesterday
to w. E. Munger and j. N. Nelson of
Alamitos bay in the face of a request
sent to them by the Alamitos Bay I'M
provement company through its secre-
tapy, George Chase. in which the board
was requested not to grant any more
wholesale liquor licenses until men,
bers of the improvement company
could appear before it and explain the
situation.
Chase told the board in his letter
that it was his belief that the Alamitos
bay district had enough liquor permits
out.
The board further granted John Ar
dens retail liquor license on the Ala
mitos bay pier
