Up to the Postmaster
General

A Jersey spinster intrusted her
false teeth to the mails, and they
went astray. Postmaster General
Hitchcock received the following ap-
peal from her:
Dear Sir-I suppose you have re-
ceived a note from the Camden post
master that the upper plates of my
teeth have been lost in the mails.
They were mailed at Camden on JAM
uary 1. I should like very much to
hear from you. If you are unfortunate
enough to have store teeth, you know
how inconvenient 1t is to have to do
without them. and I have not had
them even a year. paid $35 for
them, and I cannot afford to get any
more just now. So will you kindly
do what you can for me, and as quick
ly as possible?
"P. S.-They were very good teeth"
The postmaster general put one Of
the best inspectors in the service on
the job to find the missing worries.

nv SHINGTON.-Uncle Sam has
w more gold in his possession to-
day than he has ever had before in
his life. Treasurer Lee McClung
looked over his balance sheet recent
ly and found the government had
more than $1,000, 100000 in gold coin,
to say nothing of $126, 100000 in bull
lion. Never before in the history of
the government has it had so much
gold piled up in it's Golfers.
Not only is this a recard-breaking
amount for the government to have,
but there is more gold in the treasury
now than in the vaults of Great Brit
ain and France combined, or of Great
Britain and Russia combined.
In other words, this government
has more gold, in gold coin and bull
lion, than any other two nations.
This vast golden hoard represents
the accumulation of long series of
years. 1t is not ascribed to any par
ticular financial development of re-
cent occurrence. By no means is all
this gold coin and bullion stored in
Washington. Any burglarious gentle
man who thinks he can tunnel under
the treasury and find all this gold in
that Institution is in error The gold

Work Planned for the Extra Session

turned to their posts, congress will
want to know the reason why they
were assembled.
II President Taft believes that the
Democrats in the present congress
are going to pass the reciprocity bill
to carry out the Canadian agreement
and then go home and wait for the
regular session of congress in Decem-
Der before they do anything, he is
very much mistaken.
The Democrats declare their inten.
ton of keeping faith with the presi-
dent and passing his reciprocity meas.
ure just as quick as possible, but they
are not going to stop there. There
was no understanding with the presi.
dent prior to the calling of the ex-
ira session as to what legislation
should be attempted beyond the car
rying out of the reciprocity compact.
Messrs. Clark and Underwood told
the president that it was their Dur.
pose to revise the tariff. 1t is stated
that the president thoroughly under
stood the situation, and for this reason
the reports which emanated from At.
lanta that the president expects the
congress to pass reciprocity and then
go home are discounted.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-04-07
Dreadnoughts Showing Marked Advance

overheard and the type which she
embodied was revealed, there was a
hurried busting off of the pigeon
holed plan and clamor for appro-
priations wherewith to build the
ships.
The main battery of the new ships
will consist of ten 14-inch guns, while
the secondary battery will have over
a score of five-inch weapons. The
guns of the secondary battery are in
tended for repelling torpedo attack.
These guns have range Of five miles
and an extreme rapidity of fire, each
being capable of firing Is shells a
minute. With IL available for a
broadside that would mean a rain of
$50 shells minute, which could be
concentrated on any attacking f1otilla.
While it is inconceivable that any
fotilla would have the hardihood to
make daylight attack on any vessel
of this type, yet it is interesting to
calculate the volume Of fire that
could be directed against attack by q
dreadnought of the New York type.
Suppose that the destroyers of an at
lacking flotilla had a speed of 80
knots. They would then be able to
traverse the five-mile danger zone"
in the space Of ten minutes. But in
that lurid ten minutes the guns of the
dreadnought would be able to hurl
1900 shells at her foes.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1911-04-07
Uncle Sam Has a Great Golden Hoard

is partly in the vaults of the treas
ury here in Washington, some of it
is in the vaults of the subtreasuries
and some of it is in the minis of Phil.
adelphia and Denver.
AS matter Of fact the greater
part OF it is at the two minis named.
About 1895, 100000 of the total coin
is held in trust to redeem outstand-
ing gold certificates.
Three years ago the government
transferred $275, 100000 in gold coin
from San Francisco to Denver. That
task was accomplished at a cost of
$275, 200.
Kaiser Wilhelm and the German
government have stored away a part
Of the indemnity from France, which
can be used for war purposes at a
moments notice, If need be. But the
chest of Germany is small compared
with Uncle Sans hoard of gold.
Never before in the history of the
world was there anything like it.
If all the gold coin and gold bull
lion of the government were convert
ed into $40 gold pieces and laid on
the ground side by side they would
form string of gold pieces reaching
almost half across the United States.
The string of gold would reach from
New York to Chicago and good dis
lance beyond.
At the same time all this gold could
be housed in one room of dimensions
not very great. 1t could easily be
put into room so feet long, 20 feet
wide and 20 feet high. This would
leave considerable space to spare.

.vIYHILE resting In Georgia, President
w Taft gave considerable attention
to certain portions of his message to
congress. He went to the south sole
ly for rest, but reciprocity, the Mex
lean war, and other questions OF
state would not down. There will
probably be three important mes.
sages to the extra session of congress
At least that is the present expecta.
ton of the executive. One will deal
solely with reciprocity, another with
tariff revision and a third with the
Mexican war.
The war message will come in connec-
ton with the request for an appropri-
alton to meet the expenses of the ina
neuvers." There will be deficiency
in the allowance for army mobiliza-
ton. This must be made up by con-
gress, and in asking for the one, or
five, or ten million dollars with which
to meet this expense, the president
will outline the reason for the army
movement. Already an inquiry by
congress is scented in this connection.

leo collapSes and the troops be re-
