When the Democratic state contention meets to form a plat form let us hope they will incert a plank recommending that the constitution be so changed that state and county elections shall be held everh four years instead of every two years as we have had it, and restrict all officers to one term, and that they shall not be eligible for the same office for a period of F years thereaftar. 1t has been fully demonstrated teat as soon as a man is elected to office he begins to lay plans for a second term instead of giv- ing his best service to the people who elected him. This change would compel one to serve the people instead of his own ambi- tion. -Lonoke Democrat.

Plants Which Live In Ice.

Plants do not freeze to death in the
early winter, but perish from thirst.
The process is simple The cold causes

cells Of the plants, forming ice crys-
tails outside the cells. The frost. cool
ing and contracting the surface, acts
as a sort of pump, and as soon as the
cell is emptied of its life giving fluid
the plant dies. The truth of this theo-
ry has been proved by numerous care
full experiments. Great variation was
found in the amount of cold necessary
to cause the death Of vegetation. Some
plants dry out quickly and are killed
before the freezing point is reached

SOLDIERS LOOT
CHINESE CITY
Terrorize Populace and Bank
Pillaged.

Rioting of a serious nature took
place in Tien Tsin, China, Satur-
day night. The outbreak has
been feared and precautions were
taken as far as possible to pro-
tect residents from harm.
Between 9 and 10 o'clock the
soldiers mutinied, set fire to a
number of buildings and then be-
gan looting from house to house.
They were joined by the rabble.
Shops and banks in all important
streets were looted and some of
them were wrecked.
In order to intimidate the pop
ulace, the soldiers kept up con-
tinual gun fire. The rattle of
musketry could be heard through
out the night. Only a few
police remained loyal and they
were outnumbered and powerless
to SUPPRESS the disorders.
No less than fourteen fires
were raging simultaneously in
various parts of the city. The
soldiers broke into the Pei Yang
mint which was set on fire. Ma
chinery to the value of many
thousands of dollars were des-
troyed. The looters entered the
silver store wrenching off the
iron shutters and even making
holes in the walls. The mint
was looted of everything port
able and the ground was strewn
with empty cartridge cases.

each sandwich is dipped in the batter
and fried till golden brown in fat

some cases a preliminary removal
of the copper by solution of the
ore in nitric acid. This leaves
the gold in the insoluble residue,
which is filtered off, and the
silver in the solution is thrown
down by hydrochloric acid. The
resulting precipitate of silver
chloride is filtered, and the resi-
due and the precipitate are scori-
fled together. Ores containing
much arsenic or sulphur are
generally roasted at a low heat,
and the assay is made on the
roasted material, but this must
be carefully done, otherwise con-
siderable losses will occur.
In explosives for use in the
open air, such as, for example,
quarrying or railroad excavation
strength and efficiency in re-
moving rock are the qualities
that are most important, and
usually are the only ones that
need consideration in the selec-
ton of suitable explosive. Ex-
plosives that are to be used in
tunneling must not only possess
strength and efficiency, but also
be Of such composition that upon
exploding they will not give off
large quantities of poisonous or
offensive gases. In explosives
intended for use in coal mines, a
further property is most import
ant. Besides. possessing. the
qualities of strength, efficiency
in breaking down coal, and free
dom from poisonous explosion
products, the explosive should be.
of such nature as not reat lily to
ignite explosive mixtures of gas
or coal dust.
When mining claims are re-
located in such a way as to for
felt the rights. Of previous loca-
tors, the question as to whether
the improvement made are for
feited depends upon whether
they can be considered a part of
the realty or not. Thus, in Cali
fornia it has been held that an
engine and pump became part of
the realty, and and engine-house
with 15-hp. engine, boiler, and
attachments, fastened to the
realty and used for development
of the claim, were held to be
real property, belonging to the
re-locator, while a cabin set on
blocks and a portable fence were
held to be personal property.
The land department has held
that the improvements relocated
cannot be counted as part of the
$500 expenditure required by
! law

Hand Drilling.

Rapid drilling by hand is not
accomplished by use of heavy
hammers and forceful blows, but
by hammers of the proper size
handled by men who know how
to strike the blow that will
cause the drill to cut and keep
the bottom of the hole clear so
that the drill is worked on solid
rock and not on lot of, loose
fragments. This is an art, and
is only learned by experience.

Careful Work Rewarded
In District.
LOOK MORE FOR ORE SHOOTS
To Much Surface Work Can
not Be Done.

Since the uncovering of the
rich ore shoot on the Mineral
Zone group, prospectors are get
ting in shape for a more sys-
tematic and thorough prospecting
of their claims.
The history of the Mineral
Zone is the same as several
others in this district. These
claims had been held for several
years, and in doing assessment
work, it had been the policy to
continue tunnel that had been
started, instead of opening new
ground. When the tunnel was
abandoned and surface work
started, it was not long before a
bonanza was opened.
Take the South Fork for mine
example. 1t is well-known that
at no place did the vein crop out,
and very little float was thrown.
This mine paid from the grass
roots. and since it has been
worked it has been found that
all ore shoots have gone to the
surface, and were merely covered
by the surface soil.
The Center Star is still a better
example of a blind vein. The
locators Of this property worked
more than two years before the
vein was found. There was an
immense flow of float found in q
gulch, that was very rich, and
the soil on the bed rock on both
sides of the small gulch would
pan. The prospectors were com
PEELED to sink through Is to 20 ft.
of surface soil to reach bed rock
but they were at last rewarded
by the finding of a remarkably
large and rich ore shoot.
The finding Of these ore bodies
that were covered with heavy
surface soil and wash, only
proves the oft repeated saying
that for quartz, this district was
not half prospected. 1t is true
that great many claims are
located that have an out crop
but not many of these have al
ore shoot of any magnitude.
1t is a well-known fact that il
the Elk City district, that mos
of the ore bodies that are ver7
extensive or rich, are very sof
and highly oxidized, and subjec
to erosion, and that in mos
places where a vein out-crops, i
is usually low grade. Anothe
fact has been determined by ex
perience, and that is, if you d.
not get values on the ,surfac
yeu need not expect them witt
depth, for so far this has hel,
good.

cision to issue such a warning
was reached at a special meeting

Strike Paralyzes England.

Although this is only the second
day of the coal strike, it's para
lying effect on other industries
is being felt keenly. 1t is COM
puted that by Monday $50, 900
workers outside of the coal min
ers will be idle. More than 1000,
900 miners in England. Scotland
and Wales are out.
Shipping is approaching a
standstill and steam trawlers are
laying up. That source Of cheap
food soon will be cut off. Many
foundries already are closed.
Three or four days will suffice to
cause a stoppage at most of the
Sheffield steel works and if the
colleries don't resume within a
week more than amillion employ
es in the cotton mill and allied
trades in Lancashire will be with
out work.
AS long as the National Miners
Federation adheres to the deter
ininatiop that a schedule of mini
mum wage rates drawn up by
themselves must be conceded be-
fore they will enter into furthe,
negotiations, there appears not
the slightest hope of settling the
strike. The owners may be
coerced to pay a minimum wage
by legislative enactment, but this
method cannot force the miners
to accept and return to work.
