NEW METHODS
USED IN mining

1t is wonderful to contemplate upon
the marvels that time has brought
about; upon the changes that have oc-
CURED in so short a space of time as
a quarter of century; of the progress
and advancement that has been made
of late in almost every line of indus
try, in almost every occupation and
pursuit. Compared with the light, the
advantages and the opportunities we
enjoy today, our forefathers were al
most in the tdark ages'' fifty years
ago, and conditions that were impos-
sible then are so universally common
now that but little thought is given
to the mighty change that has taken
place, and in no other industry have
these changed conditions been more
marked than in the mining industry.
Twenty-Five years ago, in this west
ern country, hardly any of the metals
but silver and gold were looked for,
and it is a shorter period still since the
lead industry assumed any magnitude.
Twenty-Five years ago only the most
simple forms of ore reduction were
in use in this intermountain country,
and free-milling ores only were treat
ed, while any attempt at lead smeltinp
resulted in leaving more values in the
Stag than in the matte. Twenty five
years ago the presence of copper in
silver-lead or gold ores was decided
detriment, and zinc was prohibitive.
Low grade base gold ores were value
less, and only the very richest of any
character of ore could pay freight and
treatment charges and still leave any
profit to the owner.
Now everything is changed and the
Improvement made in mechanics, in
mine and mill machinery, in methods
of ore treatment and reduction, has
given additional value to every class
and character of ores, no matter how
rich or low grade they may be or how
far from market and transportation,
and the old mine, long ago abandoned
because il could not be proftably
worked. is again bread winner and
bonanza, and the great dumps and
tailings pits, grass-covered and ugly
looking, can now be made to disgorge
their great stores of mineral wealth.
Advance in science. in knowledge in
experience, has also snatched from the
mining industry many of its unde-
sirable features. 1t is not as easy
now to "gold brick'' the public as it
was twenty five years ago, and the
capitalist, the inventor. is deserving
of no pity, no sympathy, if he allows
himself to be robbed in a mining deal
in this enlightened age, and the way
is now so open, so clear. that the
masses have an even chance with the
select few in the accumulation of for
tunes along the lines of the mining in
dustry. while the opportunities are so
numerous, the returns are so great,
that it is no wonder that the whole
country is availing itself Of the chance
Of participating in this fascinating
but clearly legitimate occupation

SAFE BLOWERS
IN VIRGINIA CITY

The peace and quiet of Virginia
City have been interrupted by safe
blowers. A special to the Reno Ga
zette, dated March 5, says:
A bold attempt at safe robing was
thwarted here last night by the un-
expected appearance on the scene of
three men after the robbers had blown
the safe, which they intended plunder-
ing,open with dynamite. The dynamit-
ers never returned to learn the effcts
of their work and their identity is not
known.
The safe in the butcher shop Of H.
Tobener, known to contain a large
amount of money, was blown open.
Three men who happened to be on the
street heard the explosion and rushed
into the building. They found the door
Of the safe on the floor in the middle
of the place. It had been completely
blown from its position on the safe.
Believing that the dynamiters soon
would return to finish. their work the
men lay in wait for some time. The
dynamiters, however, failed to return,
evidently knowing that their work had
been discovered.
Several members of the state police
are on the ground this afternoon en-
deavoring to secure finger prints of the
dynamiters. Finger prints were left
in the dust on the top of the safe and
it is hoped to land the guilty parties
by finger print comparisons.
Every window in the butchershop
was broken and considerable damage
done.

there and is meeting with success.
ten million children in the United
States between the ages of fifteen and
twenty-one, and good proportion of
these do not know how to do anything
very we'll and do not want to do any
thing very much; their productive ca
pacities have been only partly develop
ed. They are drifting from one tenn
porary occupation to another. Al
though they are minors they have no
protection as such and are at the
mercy of every employer who wants
their time and their energy because it
is cheap. Their only idea of an edu-
cation is that by means of it they may
attain a life of idleness. AS minors
they are entitled to be taught how to
make the most of their abilities, and
they need to be inspired by the ideal
ism of a great university wherein
self reliance and self-support may be
the means of advancement not only
materially but intellectually and
spiritually.
To help make world where no one
has the right to idleness but where all
work in cooperative instead of a CON-
petitive way for the uplift OF man.
kind.
There has never been university
based on fundamental principles that
each student shall be a self-sutaining
unit the same as the world itself de-
mands of most of us. The trustees or
regents of this university are to be Sc
lected from men who have experience
in the application of the arts and
sciences to the needs of daily life and
having made success of their own
private affairs it is to be assumed
that they can put such an institution
on a practical basis. The long term OF
service of the trustees insures per-
manency of policy.
While congress is asked to make the
initial appropriation the foundation
endowment feature of the university
will attract endowments from those
who have money to leave for the bene-
fit of mankind. no matter in what
form the fund is intended to apply to
the betterment of life. Such uni
versitv will deal with life in every
form. and will set up an unassailable
standard, namely, that every one
should know how to do some one thing
well, and that the best in everything
is none too good for an American citi-
zen as his guiding principle.
On this simple and firm base we can
make material prosperity ever means

growth Some say this is making

he a religion of science. 1t matters
not for science and religion are really
kindred forces and are everywhese

and the idealism of the spirit is a big
part of human life.

planet Peculiarities.

The Irregularities OF the great group
OF minor planets forming a ring be
tween Mars and Jupiter are sensation
al. Several hundred Of them are now
known TO follow their normal orbits
between the two great planets. But
In 1893 one OF them-now called Eros
was found to cross the orbit OF Mars,
coming nearer to the earth's orJit
than any other body, except the moon.
In 1906 one OF the planets was dis.
covered going beyond the orbit OF Ju-
plter, and now four with this pecu-
llarity are known and have been
named Achilles, Hector, Patroclus and
Nestor.
