Washington, February 6.-(Special.)-
The entering wedge of the war on the

beef monopoly, already under way in
Chicago. President Taft has sought to

this does not blunt the salient facts about

ANT INTELLIGENCE
One Sclentist Says They Are Next to
Human Beings.

London, February 5.-(Special. )--Ants
were described by Mr.. H. Hill, a noted
entomoogist, In lecture at the London
institution recently, as coming next to
human beings in point of intelligence.
Whether they actually have any in
telligence. or whether what they do is
simply the outcome of a very high form
of instinct" said Mr.. Hill, is a matter
of considerable distite.
"A great deal of investigation has
shown that they find their way about
entirely by means of the sense of smell.
Whether they can communicate with
each other is questionable, but a certain
kind of ant has curious instrument
which enables it to produce a high note
or squeak when it ia angry and a pleas
ant low note when 1t Is pleased.
The male ant has no memory, and
without the assistance of the female 1t
would be unable to find it's way back TO
the nest.
ut il an undoubted fact that ants are
able to act as sick nurses. If an ant is
paralyzed by formic acid being spurted
over 1t. other ants lick the acid off, and
the paralyzed insect IL restored to health.
Before I admit that to be an act of
kindness I should like to know If the
taste of formic acid is pleasant to the
ant"
Describing the slave trading carried
on by ants, Mr. Hill said that it had a
demoralizing effect on the Amazon ants,
for they had become entirely dependent
on their slaves.
If two or three were put into a box
by themselves they would starve, even
though they had plenty of food, but ii
one OF the slaves were put with them fol-
few hours a day to clean and feed
them they would lead a happy life.
Mr.. Hill went on to describe how ants
make their nests.
when the construction of nest Is
contemplated" no said, several of the
insects sit on two leaves until they bend
towards one another. Then the ants
spin silk from leaf to leaf. and when the
supply of a number of grubs has been
requisitioned a kind Of paper-like ma
terial connects the leaves"

NOVEL METHOD OF
"RAISING THE WIND"

Will GravItt, n young farmer OF
Caddo, Oklahoma. is in Reno today
and is staying at the Riverside hotel.
He is en- route to Goldfeld for the pur-
pose of finding his brother, Fielder
Gravitt, who is supposed to be dead,
but who is in reality very much alive.
VIII Gavitt will leave for Goldfeld
tonight and will leave from there for
Oklahoma with his brother.
Some days ago Fielder Gravitt wired

that he was seriously i'll and signed 1t

to his father at Caddo announcing that
he was dead and also signed this DIR.
Smith His father Immediately wired
800 to Goldfeld to DR.. Smith with in
struetions to the doctor TO bring the
body home and that his expenses
would be paid A friend of the young
man heard of this and wired his father
the truth, with the result that Will

FIRST CLEANUP ON
THE PLACER DREDGER

Chas. r. Clark and o. s. Gilbert,
president and secretary, respectively,
of the Federal Mines company, are in
from Spring Valley for a few days,
having arrived from that camp yester
day afternoon.
They report the new dredger lately
installed on their placer ground there
as in successful operation. A clean
up from a short test run was made the
other day and it was determined that
the machine was doing the work to
the satisfaction of all concerned 1t
will take little time to get the ma
chinery adjusted to a nicely, and to
determine how to get the best results
in that particular ground, but enough
has been done to determine that the
machine viii save the values and that
the values are there to be saved. This
ground was thoroughly tested and sam
pied before the great expense of in
stalling this dredger was undertaken
and it has been proven by the results
of this first test run that the ground
was not overestimated.
The dredger has been placed to work
out what is termed the upper mar, or
channel, first, thus bringing the dredg
er above the road that leads down
through the canyon. In this upper
channel there are millions of cubic
wards of rich pay dirt, which will keep
the dredger digging for many moons
vet to come. then it can gradually
work down to the lower part of the
canyon and so on around until every
cubic yard of dirt in the entire can
yon has been run through the machine
and its values extracted. That will
take number of years, and means the
production of millions of dollars.
And it is not only that the partlcu-
lar ground or canvon in which this
particular dredger has been started
can be worked, but there is the Dry
Gulch, American, Troy and Fisher to
the south, all of which are known to
be rich in placer gold.
Therefore we predict that the day
| is not far distant when the monster
boats will not be only one but many
that may be seen working In country
adjacent to Lovelock, so the success
ful operation of this, the first dredg-
ing machine in Humboldt county, IS
of greater import to the mining IN
dustry of this county than might at
first thought appear.
During their stay in Lovelock the
officials of the company are engaged
in making final settlement with
Geo. w. Dyke, who was in charge of
the ground for some years past, but
who is now leaving their employ.
James II. Hart, who has been in charge
of the construction of the dredger, Will
have charge of its operation and the
other work of the company. He VIII
also succeed Mr.. Dyke as postmaster
at Fitting, having been sworn in as
his deputy and having applied for the
appointment. Tribune.
