An Argentina popularity, noticeable
also In Chile. Is that many Of the ciu'
zens begrudge our monopoly OF the title
of Americans" They catalogue us at
all possible times under IN instead
of "a" They speak Of us as North
Americans or as "Yankis" and call our

ter" quite ignoring Mexico and Canada.
Certain Americans desirous of securI
ing an increase Of our trade with South
America and of placating in every
possible manner the South Americans
overlooking the practical side of the
question, have acquiesced In the local
prejudice and speak of themselves as
North Americans, even though they
do not address their letters to the

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Launders made of wood are,
on the whole, preferable to those
of iron or steel, as the latter
seem to be eaten away fairly
quickly, especially if waters are
slightly acid. Hot cyanide solu-
tions also attack them. To pre-
vent wood launder frnm being
cut out with cosfse mill pulp,
tack old betting on its sides and
bottom. This lasts a long time,
and costs nothing save for the
labor Of fitting in a launder.
Powder smoke can be quickly
cleared from the face of an adit,
where ventilation is secured by
the use of a small blower and
the usual galvanized4iron pipe,
by reversing the direction of the
blower. The smoke is thus suck
ed into the pipe and carried away
without becoming mixed with
the air of the ads or drift. A
method commonly employed
where machine drills are used is
to turn on the compressed air
Ijust before firing the round OF
shots and allow it to escape con.
tinuously while the smoke is
clearing away. The disadvant'
age of this is that the Use o1
compressed air is an expensive
means of securing ventilation
and since the smoke must b.
driven out through the full cross
section of the drift, a mucl
longer time is required to clea
away the smoke.

Mill VIII Start Crushing
Today.
MACHINERY ALL IN PLACE
Good Tonnage of Ore Has Been
Blocked Out.

Work at the Mineral Zone
mine has been moving along very
fast the past week. The hoist
has been put in place and sink
ing resumed. The sinking at
present will be for a sump and
ore pocket. which will only take
about 80 feet.
The road has been graded from
the mine to the mill and ore bins
erected, which will give stor-
age capacity of 300 tons. The
HAULING of ore has commenced,
and the mill will be crushing ore
in a few days.
The mill has been put in first
class condition, and it is expect
ed that steady run can be
made. For the present only five
stamps will be put in operation,
but as soon as the teams can
handle the, ore, the mill will be
operated to it's full capacity.
Manager Austin has made
great progress in the work so far
and now that all machinery, is in
place the work can be more ex-
peditiously done. 4
The work at the mine, which
has only been under way fol
fifty days, has been the sinking
of so ft. shaft and drifting or
the vein so ft. This work has
blocked out a large body of high
grade ore that is very free mill
ing, and it is this ore that vii
be stopped out and sent to the
mill. From Arthur Hilliar, the
mine foreman, it is learned tha'
the development work on the 81
ft. level will be carried on at thu
same time that the ore is being
stopped, and in this way ore cal
be opened to keepe the mill sup
piled for some time.
,As soon as the first level i
thoroughly opened it is proposed
to sink the shaft another hun
dred feet and open another level
but this work will not be starte
until several improvements ar
made, and, a saw mill installe
at the mine.

Dynamite Whiskers.

The name "whiskers" is applied to
feathery crystals which gather upon
the outside Of the wrappings Of frozen
dynamite. The ''whiskers" are more
irritable" than dynamite itself. A
case is on record where sticks of dyna-
mite had been thawed out in hot wa
ter and the can of not water in which
it was done left In the blacksmith shop
without being emptied of the residual
scum of grease and whiskers. The first
blow Of the blacksmith's hammer on a
nearby anvil was sufficient to set off
the whlskers by concussion. The can
was blown to pieces, but fortunately
no one was hurt.

IDAHO INCREASES
METAL OUTPUT
Mine Production Greater than

The value of the mine output
Of gold, silver, copper, lead and

There were increases in the

copper, the most striking gain
being in lead. Silver also show

or over IS per cent of the value
of the states total output Of the
metals.
Ehe production of gold was
valued at 81, ,372, 387, an increase
of S275, 545 compared with 1910.
Nearly a third Of the gold out
put was derived from placers,
and the value of the placer gold
was $404, 327, compared with

ing due to new dredge installa-
