FARM FOR
EX-CONv|CTS
IS HER PLAN
KATE BARNARD'S IDEA TO
GIVE DISCHARGED PRIS-
ONERS NEW START

Miss Kate Barnard, state commits
sioner of charities and corrections,
hopes soon to have collected a fund
sufficient for the establishment OF
what is to be known as the Barnard
Farm Movement, whereby eXconyicts
upon their discharge from prison,
may find employment and a home a
least a year.
Miss Barnard says most men, upon
leaving prison, are penniless, often
in poor health, and that often the
extremity leads them to commit the
crime to get something to eat EX.
conyicts would be received at Dhe
farm and given a chance to start eye
EN- with The world.
Miss Barnard ana her assistant A
II. Huson each have given l6o acres
of adjoining land in the eastern pa.
of Oklahoma county for the purpose
OF this social experiment. Thirty
thousand dollars will be needed to
make the farm self supporting In
one day Miss Barnard got $500
here. Oil men at sapulpa have prem
ised to give her $4,000.
viii Build Model Cottages.
The fund Miss Barnard is collect
ing will be used in building model
cottages and in otherwise equipp'ns
! the far mas an agricultural plant.
Each cottage will accommodate about
six men, and win be in charge OF a
man and his wife. who viii be known
Ias father" ard mother Both are
to have practical knowledge OF farm

Provision will be made for about
forty men at the start. Each may
remain on the farm as long as .

The Wild Piaeoh Mystery.

That the wild pigeon. once so com

extinct is one of the strangesr mys-
.teries in American natural history. II
is a puzzle which has baf1ed scientists
and which probably never will be solv-
ed Less than forty years ago wild
pigeons were abundant in Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and all
the states of the middle west. In their
migrations they travelled in focks num-
bering tens of thousands, and it some
times took a single flock the better
part of an hour to pass a given point

Gold and Silver Mines.

More than 5000 mines in the
United States and its possessions
contribute to the country's out
put of gold and silver. The
number of placer properties in
1910 was estimated at 2,O26, this
figure being based upon the re-
turns to the government. The
number of deep mines contribut-
ing, that is, those which have
underground workings, is placed
at 3,299 for the same year. The
largest number Of placer mines
is in Alaska and California, and
the largest number of deep mines
in Colorado, California and
Nevada.

the residents of this part of the
state. While it has been pretty
we'll known for some time that
the Northwestern was interested
in the Gilmore & Pittsburg, long
termed the road of mystery, "
it has been supposed all along
that when the connection was

THE ELK CITY
REDUCTION co.
Plant Is Not Strictly a Custom
Mill.

There seems to be wrong i'm
preston among the property
owners in this vicinity in regards
to the Elk City Reduction Com
pany.
From Manager Tytler it is
learned that the plant is not a
custom mill, but that the COM
pany buys the ore direct from
the owner, deducting the cost of
milling and hauling, paying for
the same on a basis of 85 per
cent of the assay value.
Samples are taken at the
crusher automatically, and are
taken in triplicate, the company
retaining one, the owner is given
one, and one is held as an umpire
assay. After the ore is pur-
chased it is then. up to the com-
pany to save what they can from
the ore.
The following statement sheet
will probably explain more clear
ly:

Ore from Mineral Zone
Proves High Grade.
FIRST MILL TEST SUCCESSFUL
Ore Being Taken Out for An
orher Run.

The recent strike on the Colonel
Sellers claim of the Mineral Zone
group owned by Mrs. M. A.
Parr, has now progressed far
enough, that the magnitude of
the ore shoot can be realized.
The vein has been stripped. for
200 it,, and with surface cuts,
shown for aNdistance of about
400 ft. The vein has a width of
from 8 to 6 ft. The strike of
the vein is eastetly and westerly
and the dip south. The foot
wall is a yellow porphyry. and
very soft, while the hanging
wall is granite. The dip seems
to be about 80 degrees. The
bitch of the ore shoot, has not
been determined, as its entire
length has not been traced.
Where the vein has been
= stripped, the ore exposed is of a
very high grade, and this is being
taken out and, sent to the custom
mill. At present no great depth
has been attained, and none will
be attempted until the roads
break up, so no more ore can be
hauled.
The first 40 tons of ore was
put through the mill last week,
and while the cleanup has not
been reduced to bullion, enough
is known to warrant the state
n.ent that it plated nearly $40
per ton. This in itself is re-
markable, for it must be consld-
cred that the entire vein was
taken and no sorting of any kind
was attempted, and that there
was considerable waste in the
ore. Just what the amount OF
concentrate and the value has
not been learned.
At the present time ere is be-
ing taken from the VEIN in oper
cuts and while a little more
depth is being gained the values
seem to increase, and it is ex
pected that the next mill rur

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
A frequent cause of explosions
in compressed air discharge pipes
and receivers is an accumulation
of carbon in the pipes or of oil
in the receiver. Oil should be
drawn off from all air receivers
at frequent intervals.
Objections to the use of REIN
forced concrete for certain
classes of buildings are that
where it is necessary to make
frequent changes, alterations,
and repairs, and in fact in any
structure that is not intended to
be permanent for many years, it
becomes very costly. When it
has outlived it's usefulness, it is
expensive to remove and the
materials have little or no value.
| Although many beds of gravel
are found where suitable clean
material for concrete work may
be obtained, it is more often the
case that clay and loan are mix
ed with the gravel in excessive
proportions. These substances
form coating on the stones and
pebbles which prevents the
cement from forming an intimate
bond with the stone. The
strength of the concrete thus
. has only the strength of the
cement, losing a great deal of the
value of the aggregate.
Until recently, with rare ex-
ceptions, shaft bottoms have been
5 lined with timber only. Such
mine timbers, if of white oak,
last five to eight years, depend
ing on whether the natural con-
ditions foster dry rot, and if of
q black oak or white pine, shorter
+ periods. AS the cost of replac-
ing such timbers is greater than
h their first cost, when mine lasts
O over twenty years it is manifest
that wood timbering is is the

always the great danger OF its

The Ladies OF the Universalist Church
Arranging a Novel Event.

One of the coming events in our
city is county fair, which is being
arranged by the ladies of the y niver-
salist church, to be given in Elks'
hall on the evenings of Thursday
and Wednesday, December and 4.
There will be displays of agriculture;
side shows, an attempt being made to
bring G. H. Ingraham and j. D..
Mylrea here with their wonderful at
fractions. Karl Mathie's little Ger
man band has been secured for the
occasion. There will be booths from
which fancy work for the holidays
will be sold. A cafeteria lunch will
be served from booths and tables sup
piled in the dining room where all
can be comfortable. Lunch can be
had after $50 o'clock each evening.
There will be the balloon man, flower
girls, popcorn and peanut boys and
monkey tree, which alone will be
worth the price of admission.
Perfect order will be maintained
by police force over which j. N.
Manson, ST., will be chief. Doors
will be opened each evening at five
O'Clock. The second evening there
will be dancing after nine O'Clock.
1t promises to be one of the very
pleasant social affairs of the season.

SOMETHING TO DO
Wausau Advancement Association
Should Interest itself in the
Interest Of Wausau.

EDITOR PILOT:
have noticed in the daily, issued
in the city, an article from Eugene
Debs the socialist, predicting that a
panic is to follow the election OF
Woodrow Wilson, and large head
lines intending to brighten the people,
thus: "Debs Sees Panic in the Elec-
tian of Woodrow Wilson" This same
paper published column after column,
before election, telling the voters,
that if the democratic ticket was
elected, a panic would follow; that
instead of plenty of work for the
laboring nan, as is now the case,
soup houses would have to be resorted
to, as in 1893.
Now, we have socialistic papers;
anarchistic papers; and papers advo-
eating revolution, but they are saints
compared with the only Wausau
daily. That paper is owned by men
of our city, who are connected with
banks and all kinds of enterprises
They no doubt wish to protect those
institutions and industries az best
they can. 1t shows that they do, for
rather than see a paper favorable to
labor unions start up, they have tried
to shut off all competition, so far as a
daily is concerned. Now, Mr.. Editor,
is it the thing for a combination of
business men to try to bring on a
panic, or even countenance a move
ment of this kind2
A man with an ounce of brains
would know better, it seems, than to
advocate, day in and day out, that a
panic was coming because the people
thought best to change TO policy
that was different than the one he
is espousing.
The Wausau Advancement associa-
tion of our city can do no better
service than to put a stop to the pub
LEGATION of "panic" articles. If any,
thing will make dead town, create
unrest or drive business away it is
the calamity howlers. Suppress the
calamity bowler, he is menace to
any city. CITIZEN.
