'Twixt the narrow city alley and the

There's the difference of beauty and of
Natures sweet refrain
There's the difference of blossoms and
the pungent smell of earth,
And of orchard green and laughter and
of hearts attuned to mirth;
In the one there's din of traffic, in the
other fancies sing
That's the difference 'twixt the alley
and the country lane in spring.
Yet above the narrow alley, on dingy
window ledge,
Blooms flower just as pretty as be-
side country hedge
Comes a splash of sun as golden and a
glimpse of spring as fair
AS the poets find worth visiting in the
country anywhere;
Throwing kisses from her fingers, with
a merry, mad refrain,
Spring goes singing through the alley
just the same as through the lane

prospector is, apparently, common to
all humanity. The porphyry coppers
have been the cause of more discussion
than anything in copper mining for
many years. The Ray Consolidated is
just at the point of initial production,
yet the price of its stock has declined
to where it is probably proporticnately
cheaper than it has ever been. The
precious metal camps fare no better.
Tonopah has been making splendid
records and developing big mines, yet
there is more public interest in some of
the Nevada camps where there are no
mines, than there is in Tonopah. A still
more striking illustration is compari-
son between Cobalt and Porcupine.
The former is sending out more real
money to it's shareholders in the form
of big dividends than it ever has since
the day of its discovery. The life OF
the camp has by no means been finally
determined. Yet Porcupine, with its
uncertainties and its unknown posi-
bilities, and which is for the most part
undeveloped, is more alluring to the
public than Cobalt with its dividends
The public, like the prospector, is not
particularly anxious to make mines, MOI
to receive regular dividend checks, but

The ACKNOWLEDGMENT Diaster.

A coroner's jury, sitting more than a
week upon the testimony in the case of
the disastrous fire which occurred in
the Belmont mine at Tonopah on the
morning of the February %, returned
verdict of which metal mining in
terests should take notice. No one was
specifically criticised for his conduct in
the emergency, which resulted in the
death of II men. but the jury drew the
general conclusion that the men IN
charge of the mine were lacking in ex
perience of such emergencies and a
comprehension of the course necessary
to meet them. From a perusal of the
testimony of the survivors it is natural
for one to accept this judgment as
fair statement of the situation. Con-
trary to the statements made by the
press in the first reports of the fire, the
confagration could hardly have origi-
mated above goound. 1t started from
an undetermined cause in what is
known as the 1166-ft. Wine, the deep
est point in the mine. All were equal
w mystifed and all were about equally
blameworthy, since the superintendent,
bosses and subordinates went with
scarcely any compulsion into the work
ings for the purpose of locating the
blaze, little suspecting that any would
be overcome by the smoke. 1t was
stated that one of the men who lost
his life telephoned from below ground
for detachment of men to put out the
fire. Very soon after, apparently, the
smoke burst forth in much greater vol
ume and filled the mine, making it i'm
possible for the miners to stay under
ground. The efforts at fire-fghting
were soon turned into efforts at rescue,
but these came too late to save all the
men who had gone down into the mine.
1t was shown by the testimony that
the superintendent ran equal risks with
, any of the other miners. He was,
himself, overcome before reaching the
, surface. At one time he had approach
/ ed within it, of the fire in the bottom
of the 1,166 Wine. He testified that
f this was his first experience with {
: mine fire.
