THE RHOADS.HALL QUARTZ M|NE
BY A CHECHACHO

One hundred and sixty feet below the Penrose tunnel is what is now the main tunnel of the Rhoades- Hall mine They are working night and day taking out ore to keep the five stamp Joshua Hendy mill running twenty-four hours out of twenty four.
 l mention the fact that the nam tunnel is one hundred and sixty feet lower than Penrose tunnel for this reason: the Penrose tunnel is the tunnel from which Louis Rhoads took the ore that made possible .he RhoadsHall quartz mine on Bedrock creek. The Penrose tunnel is one hundred and sixty feet higher than the present main tunnel. out the al ues in the main tunnel of today are equally as rich, run equally as high and the ledge is wider than it was when the people laughed at Louis Rhoads for bothering with quartz.
 And about one thousand feet in the hill they have sunk winZe ninety feet lower into the bowels When they are ten feet nearer the center of this globe, they will build a station, from which they will start tunnels in either drectcr And all the time they are following the main vein of quartz to say nothing of the offshoots. and stringers, they are running down
 Where they are working the stringers at intervals of 35 feet there there will he stopes I'll be candid and admit that I never knew what a stope was until I visited the Rhoades-IIall mine l am not miner. but l hope to be able to tell in such a way that all of us can un- derstand just what each and every quartz mine or prospect just as you wish. is doing to assure the future of this quartz camp that Is already to a certain extent established. had very clearly demonstrated to me at the Rhoads-Hall mine the difference between the quartz and placer. There isn't really much difference The hanging wall of the quartz vein has exactly tho same relation to quartz that the muck and gravel has to placer gold The foot wall of the quartz vein corresponds to the bedrock of plac- CT mining. Quartz. or the vein. has exactly the same relation to quartz that the muck and gravel has to placer gold. The foot wall of the quartz vein correspondents to the bedrock of placer mining. Quart. or the vein that contains the highest value in hard rock mine usually runs horizontally. Now a stope is tunnel or shaft driven from the main shaft toward the eartls sur face. When the stopes are thirty six feet apart as is the case in the Rhoads-Hall mine, the miners drill toward each other. and the tootwall and hanging wall are first dropped into the car, and then the vein itself falls into the chute to be taken off to the five-stmrs that pound away night and day.

There was not a man on the Slorah jury who did not sign the petition for Slorah's pardon, there was not a single soul in the entire Yukon territory who believed the popular bartender guilty of the crime of which he was convicted. He always stoutly maintained his inuo- CenCe.

This was due in no small measure 10 the FraterHal Order of Eagles. who used every energy. every power in their posses sion to free James Slorah. and whose relentless efforts 10 clear him of the grave charge were so justly reward ed even after their brother had been snatehed from the very jaws Of death.

 THE TUNNEL.
 The main tunnel Is twelve hundred feet long In the RhOads- Hall mine There are two side tunnels. the kip and the south tunnels in which tracks are laid There are several others which have no tracks. An air-shaft from the main tunnel to the Penrose tunnel extends one hundred and sixty feet up through the ground
 The Rhoads-Hall mines are lighted by electricity. The cars used for carrying the ore are made by the Joshua-Hendy company and are con structed especially for the work they do. There is not thing lack. ing around the RhoadsHall mine that would in any way hasten the work. About fifteen men are busy doing prospect work. A result of this is seen in the Kip tunnel where they are starting stopes preparatory to taking out ore for the mill

Painters Desecrate
Georgia Flag; UseIt
For Floor Covering
Ensign Old and Storm Beaten,
But It Bears Colors
of State.

If the state of Georgia held its flag in
the same reverence which Uncle Sam
requires to be paid the Stars and
Stripes, somebody at the capitol would
be hauled over the Goals today. For a
Georgia flag, spread out on the floor Of
the capitol corridor is being used by
decorators at work on the building to
catch the drippings of paint which fall
from the ceiling.
1t is true that the flag has been
storm beaten until 1t is hardly more
than a dingy. grimy rag. but it still
bears the stripes and the insignia of
the state. 1t had probably been dis
carded for the newer and brighter COL
ored banner which waves from the cap
itol dome when occasion requires it.
