a Solemn Dance,

They have singular kind Of dance
conducted on the greens of country VI
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, knot of young men here,
knot OF maidens there, each sex by it
self and silent as a crowd Of mutes. A
piper breaks into tune; youth pulls
off his cap and challenges his girl with
q wave and bow. If the girl is willing,
she waves her handkerchief in token Of
assent. The youth advances, takes a
corner of the handkerchief in his hand
and leads his lassie round and round
No word is spoken and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids. the girl moves heavily by her
self, going round and round and never
allowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sad key and measure, and
the prize of merit in this "circling," as
the dance is called, is given by specta-
tors to the lassie who in all that sum-
mer revelry has never spoken and new

seeina Distances.

About 200 miles in every direction IS
the distance a man can see when stand
ing on clear day on the peak of the
highest mountain-say at a height of
26,G6S feet, or a little over five miles
above the level of the sea. An OBJ
server must be at a height Of 6,G67
feet above sea level to see objects at
distance of hundred miles,. The dis
tance in miles at which an object upon
the surface of the earth is visible Is
equal to- the square root Of one and
one-half times the height of the OBJ
server in feet above sea level Some
allowance has to be made for the eff
feet of atmospheric refraction, but as
the refraction varies at different heights
and Is affected by the various states of
the weather no precisely accurate fg-
ures for general purposes can be given.
Probably from one-fourteenth to one
tenth of the distance given by the
formula would have to be deducted
owing to the refraction Of the atmos-
phere.

Dixie Property to Work This
Summer. M


S. r. Gayton, manager of the
Idaho Realty, Mining & Power
Co., operating the Crooked creek
placers OF Dixie, passed through
Elk City this week and will start
operations.
The company is we'll equipped
to begin work as soon as the
water starts, having put all pipe
lines, sluices and elevator in
place last fall before the snow
came. The placers are equipped
with a Robel elevator, and. Mr..
Gayton has, secured the services
Of c. E. Mckee, of Eugene, Ore.

perience with this style, Of an

The ground owned by this
company is we'll adapted to ele-
waiting, as there are no large
boulders or other distractions in
the gravel. The placers have
always been a paying PROPOSE

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Antimony is not produced COM
mercially in the United States at
present, except in the form Of
hard lead, and about 5000 tons of
the metal is imported annually.
China and France are the chief
producing countries.
Small dams to store water
should be provided with a gate
through which accumulated silt
and sand may be flushed out
from time to time, otherwise the
area back of the dam may be-

Primitive Screws.

Screws are still made in India just
as they were made originally, by wind
ing two soft wires together around a
mandrel. The wires are then carefully
separated, and one of them is soldered
into a tube OF nut, while the other Is
soldered to q short rod. All the silver
smiths make their screws in this way,
and they are all left handed. for they
are wound over and over by the right
hand. Screw bolts and screw presses
were introduced by Europeans, and
for many years all the cotton export
ed from India was compressed gby q
massive screw of wood, turned round
by cattle yoked to a long lever. This
screw may still be found in remote tds-
tricts. 1t is cut entirely by hand and
is set out by winding two ropes around
the hand dressed beam to give the
pitch.-Eastern Engineering.

Repeal Apex Law.

Under the provisions of a bill
introduced by Senator Smoot in
the United States senate, the
Apex mining law" would be
repealed. If enacted no locator
would have the right to follow
any vein, lode, ledge. or other
deposit outside of the limits of
the surface boundary of his
claim.
At present, if the, apex of a
vein is within claim the loca-
tor may follow the vein to its end
even though it leads under the
land of an adjoining owner.
Much litigation has resulted from
conflicting claims under the
present law.

Unusual elements present in
gold and Silver ores can often be
detected by the coIors which
they impart to the cupel near the
finished button. When bismuth
is present the place which the
silver button occupies is brown,
surrounded by concentric rings
of yellow and blackish green.
Copper colors the cupel a dirty
green to black, according to the
amount present. Nickel leaves
a greenish ring of scoria, while
arsenic antimony, zinc and tin
give a light colored ring of scoria
if present in large amounts.
Ruthenlum imparts a peculiar
greenish tinge to the cupel, and
the other metals Of platinum also
color the cupel, but as usually
several OF the group are present
at the same time, it is difficult to
determine whether the color OBJ
served is due to a single element,
or the combined effect of several.
These metals may carry iron into
the lead bullion, with the result
ing formation of a great variety
of colors on the cupel. Where
appreciable amounts of the plati-
mum group metals are present
their presence can often be de-
tected by the appearance of the
silver button, to which platinum
gives a rough and pitted look,
while palladium makes the sur.
face appear raised and embossed.
Osmium makes the button have
a rough surface and break up
ruthenium produces a black film
while iridosmium makes the sur
face of the bead look as though
it. were covered with bright, flat
silvery plates or crystals. Min

Bright Outlook for Gen.
trail Idaho.
MUCH WORK WILL BE DONE
Late Spring Will Retard Some
Work.

With the advant of spring, and
the going of the snow, the pros
pector commences to wend his
way back into the mountains IN
the search of the precious metals.
For several years past there has
not been much encouragement
for the prospector in this, or any
other of the undeveloped sections
of the west.
In this section of the country
this is particularly the case,.
owing to the lack of transporta-
tion facilities, which makes it a
very hard matter to interest
capital in the development of the
numerous prospects that are now
only partially opened up. Things
are now assuming a definite form
whereby the transportation prob
lem will soon be solved. From
what can be learned from private
sources there can be no longer
any doubt but that the Salmon
river railroad will be built.
The recent advance in the
metal market, has greatly stim-
ulated the mining industry, and
capital will now turn to the gold
fields of Central Idaho for in
vestment. The recent develop
ments in this section will receive
the attention they deserve, and
the property owners will feel
encouraged to go ahead with
work that will put their property
on basis where capital will take
hold.
The recent development which
has exposed such enormous large
and rich ore shoots as that or
Mineral Zone group has had {
very stimulating effect on tht
district as a whole, and grea
amount Of work will be done OF
properties that have been idl'
for sometime. The American
Eagle mine will be at work a
soon as the snow is off. Thi
mine was a great producer year
ago, but has been idle for some
time, 1t has now been takel
over by a strong Canadian com
pany., who will commence de
velopment work by the sinking
of a 500 ft. shaft.
The South ForkI; mine, owne

record, in the fact that it ha
