Dorchestcr Mapes, secretary of The Rambler Copper and Plati- mum Co. of Wyoming, reports that the platinum vein cut recently is fully 20 feet in width between wcll-deflned walls, trending near lH north and south, with a dip to the east of about i5 degrees. About 100 feet of drifting has been done on this vein in ore car rying good values in both copper and platinum.

TRYING TT ON THE DOG.

Al the Rockefeller Institute, thousands of guinea pigs arc kept. These little animals are used for experimental purposes by shc scientists in charge. Whenever d serum is discovered which may or may not have some highly ben cficial effect on ihe human race, it iS first tried on the guinea pig. If il kills him. no one but the guinea pig cares. This process is known as trying il on the dog.
 The agitation throughout the United States for tho past twenty years in favor of governmental ownership and control of the pub lie utilities and especially of rail roads, has reached the point where the demand for action on the part of congress has become most inSiStrnt. Alaska, lately come into political prominence through the squabblcs of the po- litical parties, has been chosen to play the part of the dog. Alaska does not object to this role, as we are convinced that government ownership of railroads, especially when such a road is connected with a government owned coal field, is good medicine. However,. We do object to the proposed place nf application. We do not doubt that il would greatly please the railroad interests to point with pride tn the collOSal failure of government ownership as applied 10 the partially completed rail roads and tO the immense deficit piled up during the previous year.
 Before the government pur- chaseS any defunct railroad let a careful examination be made by competent engineers as to the fea- sibility of the possible routes.

A gain of more than s per cent for the year is indicated. For Inc first lime. in July of last year. the monthly returns have passed the 10O. .000-nIIncr mark, and llIr output has not since fallen below that h@ilrr.

This gain for the year is more than equal to the annual output of the Cripple Creek district, and Inc tremendous figures attained represent the results of treating an enormous tonnage of ore run ming about S7 to the ton.
 w" now have before us the car dy possibility of an annual gold output for the world valued al S5OO,0O0, ,000; something that could hardly havr been dreamed Of fifteen years or even ten years ago.

KEEPING AND STORING EGGS
Well Dissolved Solution of Water,
Slaked Lime and Salt Is Recon-
mended-Don't Crack.

There are many plans suggested for
keeping and storing eggs, but a very
ample n appears in a recent ex-
change: To every three gallons Of
water add one pound of fresh slaked
lime and one-half pint of salt. Have it
well dissolved. Drop in your eggs one
at a time, but mind do not crack them.
u you wish to keep them one or two
years you a do SO. But you must
use them as soon as taken out or they
will spoil. When you put in all you
wish, take a thin piece of board and
put on top, and on that put a little salt
and lime that the top may be as strong
as the bottom. II these are kept at
sea and in different climates, why not
keep on land in a cool cellar? Should
you wish to keep to transport, dissolve
sufficient gum shellac to make a thin
varnish in alcohol, let them dry, then
after giving each egg a coat pack
them in bran or sawdust. When want
ed wash off the varnish and they are
ready to be cooked.
