Long Mexican Tunnel.

The Nepton tunnel, now being driven
in the Pachuca (Mexico) district, will
be one of the longest faining tunnels in
the world. 1t will be over six miles
long when finished and lies at depth
of about l., 400 it. below the surface Of
the city of Puebla. Though started IL
years ago, only about two miles of the
length has been finished. The tunnel
is to drain the Pachuca mining district
and afford an outlet for ores of the diff
ferent mines.

Annual Assessment Work,

Salt Lake Mining Review: This is
the time of the year when the claim
owner gives thought to the perform
ance of annual assessment work upon
his property. 1t is highly important
that this work be done in strict COM
pliance with the law, and no harm can
be done if a little more work is done
than is really demanded. In some To-
calities district laws conflict with the
federal statutes; but, in test case. it
will be found that the federal law must
be complied WITH and that the irregular
district regulations will not hold good.
In cases where work has been begun
before the close of the year, but not
completed, no loss to the claim-holder
is sustained if he continue the work
without interruption, and into the fol-
lowing year. Actual occupancy and
personal possession is regarded by the
law as an evidence of good faith on the
part of the claim-holder, and he may
complete the required work and hold
good title, even if this work is carried
on into the year 1912.
In the event of the performance of
assessment work upon a group of claims
this can be done at one point on the
group, provided the work so done tends
to the development and Improvement
of the whole group; but such work
cannot apply to detached claims, or to
claims in the group which cannot be
benefited by the work being carried on.
In some instances, however, work on q
group can be applied to a detached
claim if it can be shown that the claim

Such work is valued at what it is re;

that the claim-holder has not compile

questioned, and especially when he does
not rely upon the supposed technlcali-
ties of the law to tide HIM over, year

property.

Walking Safe and Sane.


Taking it for granted that your
heart Is sound and normal, eight or
ten miles walk day can only do a
young man good; is the safest, sanest,
best OF all exercises, especially If the
walker uses his powers of observation
and thought on the way to cheer up
and freshen brain, heart, appetite and
nervous system. Forced long tramps
for the mere glory of the thing are
N. g.; are sometimes positively inju-
rious. Walking should always take
the form Of gay excursion, and not
stunt-where possible Such walks
are unusual these days, but long ago
were everyday affairs, like hunting
and sparkling. One thing today is diff
ferent; the roads are much harder;
you know, In the old days there were
no asphalt streets, gravel roads or
other nongiving foot and leg killers.
Every man ought to take one or two
long walks week and he ought to
have three or four pairs Of good shoes
Just for that purpose, SO that while
he is breaking In and softening up a
new pair there are couple Of easy
pairs to fall back on. Walking does
not hurt the heart, and If there are
40 baggy veins or vein bags, walking
hardly ever hurts q man.

OPEN FIGHT FOR
OPEN SHOP PLAN

Seattle, April 15.-Declaring that the
open shop plan for the Pacific coast,
reaching from Vancouver to Los An
geles and Incorporating several
branches of the larger industries with
lumber and metal trades, now is an
assured fact, ]. T. Heffernan headed
the return of the Seattle delegation
last night from Portland, where 200
delegates put through the open shop
plan, and put it into concrete form for
an aggressive fighting and protective
organization.
With Mr.. Heffernan was J. V. Pat
erson, president of the Moran Com
pany; George James, of the Vulcan
Iron Works; F. G. Frink, of the Wash
ington Iron Works; Thomas Kelsall.
Northwestern Iron Works; E. J. Ford,
Pacific Iron Works, and J. Hill, Rem
ton Iron Works.
Mr. James said on his return on the
Shasta Limited last night that the
strike in the metal trades was foreign
to the subject of the new organization.
He declared that the manufacturers had
banded together for mutual benefit in
inaugurating the open shop in all lines
and that within thirty days the details
of the organization would be arranged
in San Francisco.
Two Hundred at Conference.
The 200 delegates present, he said,
we're from Vancouver, Spokane, Taco
ma Seattle San Francisco and los An
geles, and represented many branches
of industry outside the metal trades.
Nothing aggressive at Ibis time, he
said, was proposed. but it was the firm
purpose of the representatives to or
ganize the Pacific coast, and proceed
ing farther, to reach all employers of
labor in the manufacturing industries.

colonel Of this regiment was ordered
to detail sixty men, to replace az
many nurses who had contracted yell

The colonel, recognizing the pc
culiar work to be performed by his
men who would go to the yellow-fever
camps. ordered out his regiment In
