ANNUAL WORK ON
Mining CLAIMS

This is the time of the year
when the claim owners give thought
TO the performance of annual assess
ment work upon his property. 1t
is highly important that this work
be done in strict compliance with
the law, and no harm can be done
than Is really demanded. In some
localities district laws conflict with
the federal statutes; but, in test
case ii will be found that the
federal Law must be complied with,
and that the irregular district regu-
lations 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 con-
tinues the work without Interrupt
ton and into the following year.
Actual occupancy and personal pos
session is regarded by the law as
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 group of
claims, this can be done at one
point on the group, provided the
work so done tends to the develop
ment 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
group can be applied to a detach-
ed claim if it can be shown that
the claim benefits by the work
performed Wagon roads, even, il
constructed in the near proximity
but not on claim or group OF
claims, if built for the use of the
property in question, and are nee
essary for the successful operation
of the claim or claims, will be ac-
cepted as assessment work. A
building, permanent in its character
will apply as assessment work, as
will also the services of watch.
man when such services are utilized
in keeping mine workings in repair
and the property in condition fol-
active operations.
The statutes provide that work
to the value of 500 be done il
the performance of annual assess
ment work. Such work is valued
at what it is reasonably worth.
it is reasonably worth 800, the fac
that it was performed at les
cost does not imply that the CLAIM
holder has not complied with TIL
requirements of the law.
A great many factors must nee
essarily enter into the question o
what constitutes the performance o
annual assessment work. Such, 70

TO MAKE AUTOS SAFER
Underslung Construction Helps
TO Stop Skidding.

Prospective automobile purchasers the
country over have manifested an interest IN
the merits Of underslung construction as
applied 70 automobiles. f. w Haines, OF
Detroit vice-president and general man
ager Of the Regal Motor Car Company and
an authority on underslung construction,
has given out the following:
'Uuderslung construction" declares Mr.
Haines. simply means that the weight OF
the automobile is 'slung below the axles
instead Of balanced above them. In the
manufacture OF automobiles IL is merely tbe
new application Of an old principle For
years In locomotives. railway cars trucks
and other vehicles where safety and ease az
riding at high speed were necessary eneI-
neers have used the underslung constrtjc-
ton. It's application 20 the automobile is
new for one reason alone, and that Is lis
cost Designers have for years realized
its advantages. and its merits have long
since won the approval Of the best engineer
ing practice
"Foremost among the advantages claimed
for the underslung construction IS the
safety which II insures the occupants Of a
car A low frame makes possible a low
centre of gravity. and the result is the re-
duction TO a minimum OF the tendency 10
skid or turtle Another factor Of safety
lies in the peculiar spring suspension and
general design Of the car giving. as IL does,
immunity from spring breakage The re-
coil Of all springs is upward. thus reducing
the rebound and violent jolt so noticeable
with other types OF cars"

CONNER TRUCK A SUCCESS
New York Coal Company Adds to
It's Equipment.

puring the last week the coal firm or
H. L. Herbert & Co, of New YORK, mas
added five more CONNER trucks to It's pres
ent equipment. making altogether Meet OF
eisht CONNER trucks. The early expert
ments of this firm with motor driven uuchs
had not proved satisfactory. and they hah
practically decided to stick to the OLD
method of delivery with horses. A firm re-
solve to have a thoroughly up-to-date and
economical method OF dealing with their
customers Influenced Herbert &c CO. 70 MAKE
further Investigations.
The result was a thirteen-day CONNER
truck demonstration during the latter part
of last winter. Careful figuring showed that
772 tons OF coal were hauled during that
period at cost of less than six cents g.
ton mile. This demonstration was so Weh
above those given by other trucks, that

TO burn or scorch gloves when hands are
placed on the radating section. Frequently
kid gloves do not provide sufficient warmth
on bitter cold days, and such a warming
device without the nuisance of burning

NEW OFFICERS FOR L0zIER
Growth of Business Demands
Division of Responsibilities.

Announcement Is made of important
changes In the Lo2ier Motor Company. The
growth Of the business has made II neces-
sary TO further divide the responsibilities
and 10 create a new position, that of gen
eral manager. To this place has been ap-
pointed Fred c. Chandler, second vice-pres-
ident OF the company who has been iden-
titled with the Loziers In their various lines
OF business for twenty-one years John G.
Perrin, who has also been identified with
the Lozers In various capacities for sew
enteen years has been appointed "ice-pres-
ident and chief engineer. Charles A. Emise,
formerly in charge OF advertising, succeeds
Mr.. Chandler as sales manager Russell
f. Renner assumes the duties OF production
manager.
Mr. Chandler's record has been one of
steady progress and success. His first po-
stion of responsibility was that OF assist
ant manager in the San Francisco branch
Of II. A. Lozier & Co.. manufacturers OF
Cleveland bicycles. Upon the appointment
OF his superior to the management of the
New York branch. Mr.. Chandler assumed
charge Of the San Francisco branch, which
he handled with such success that he was
within one year given charge Of the foreign
business Of ". A. Lozer g. Co. at Ham
burg. Germany. Here for number Of
years ne conducted that office with great
ability, which resulted in the Cleveland
bicycle being the best known American
wheel throughout all Europe. Previous to
his leaving San Francisco he had firmly
established the Cleveland in Australia and
New Zealand. Shortly after the sale OF the
Lozier bicycle interests 20 the American
Bicycle Company Mr. Chandler returned
to New York. and was soon after made
vice president OF tho Lozier Motor Com
pany, In charge OF sales The steady prog
ress of the L.ozier. from being scarcely
known outside OF New York City three
years ago, 10 its present position of being
one Of the best known high class cars in
the world, is due in no small degree TO Mr.

1t is not often that a deliberate at
tempt is made to break ship In two.
but that Is what the British Admiralty
department did when 1t suspended the
torpedo boat destroyer Wolf by tho
middle without support at the ends
and then at the ends without support
ip the middle In order to discover
whether the boat was so weak that 1t
would break a1nidships because Of the
unevenly distributed support of heavy
waves 1t sea. The Wolf stood the
stratn-no only Of this but of subse-
quent tests. The experiments were
made because 1t had been charged that

IL. Thi,tl. II N,w z..I.od.,


When New Zealand was first occu-
pied by the white men 1t was prac-
ticaily without pest of any sort. The
white man, however. introduced the
rabbit, Scotch thistle and sparrow.
These multiplied exceedingly, and then
stoats and weasels were introduced to
kill the rabbits and "little owls" to thin
out the sparrows. Experience has
shown that the stoats and wcasels
think more Of native birds as articles
of diet than they do of the rabbit.
The little owl" on tho other hanf.
appears to have quite justified his In
PRODUCTION to New Zealand, as he ID
reported to be waging violent war on
sparrows. beetles and grubs. So far
nothing has been invented which will
eradicate the Scotch thistle; 1t is char
acteristic Of its country.

ODD STUNTS wlTH A WHIP.


WssdsefN Hss4s BY European Master
u tks Lash.
II NV Z downright novelty on the
blu Of Enropean music halty said a
man who spends bit Of his' time on
the other sida. TT was Furnished by
an Austro- Hungarian, who accomplish
ed some wonderful things with whip.
''On1 of bis stunts was to take a
long iashed, stout handled whip In
each hand and. with orchestral ac-
compartment. proceed to crack or snap
them,at terrific rata. The sound
made by his whips in this manner Is
graduated from 4 noise like a rifle
report to the soft click. of a billiard
ball. 1t makeG curious sort of music
and serves to show how he can regu-
late the force OF each stroke.
Another feature Of his performance
is achieved with vicious looking
whip with an abnofmally long lash. It
is provided with . heavy handle Of
medium length. This Is his favorite
toy. and what be can do with 1t is
really wonderful. He first gives an
idea Of what fearful force may lie in
whiplash In. the hands Of nm ex-
pert. There Ii large frame shown.
over which is stretched a calf or sheep
skin This rs marked with dots Of red
paint. The man with the whip steps
up and, swinging the lash round his
head. let's fly at the caifskin. With
every blow he actually pulls a. piece
out Of the leather. leaving clean cut
hole. These pieces are distributed
among the audience to show that there
is no trickery about the performance.
AFTER this he takes a frame with
three shelves. On these there are a
dozen or more Of medium sized apples
lying very close together and provided
with large numbers. Any one in the
audience may designate which apple
he wishes struck, and the unerring
lash snatches 1t out like a nash. A
still more dimcult feat is the swapping
Of coins from a narrow necked bottle.
A piece Of silver about the size Of
half crown Is put over the cork Of the
bottle, which stands ON the edge Of a
table. The whip artist. without APP
pearing to take any sort Of aim. sends
the long lash whixzing through the air
and picks OF the coin without Earring
the bottle. much less breaking it,
