ERRORLESS ADVERTISING.

The News-Miuer during the week @a~ il 10 erHicize rhe Citizens ad ooa.,s, aLd relieve itself of some silly remarks regarding "errorIess adNeu.-iu4 On this same sub jaa Up would suggest 10 the even ing paper and 10 the public con stdora.ton f inc following incident.
 \ few months ago a miner from a comparatively remote region came to .be Citizen with a proposition to priu for him a forfeiture notice" The regular price for these "adver- Using out" notices is $50, but. he said, his notice was a much longer one, containing many names and de scriptions. and he expected to pay more. He had only $45 at his dis posa and wanted to know if the Git nen would print the notice for that much money He was told that as 'ae Citizen had adopted a flat rate ir Was nor disposed to charge any more simply because the notice was little longer than usual BUT
 He was also told that the Citizen did uor want 10 take his money un- der false pretenses and the adyer- tisemenr. as he wanted it run, en- bodying the names of some dozen or more persons and six or seven claims. would be absolutely useless 10 him as it would not be legal, and that .he only way in which notice could be legally given to the persons affected was by separate advertise ments. In his case some six or seven advertisements were neces- sary.
 The following day the advertise menr as offered 10 the Citizen, ap- peared ill the NeWs-Miner. and it has since been continued in the same form. A few days later an advertisement for another party was run in the News which was also incorrect because it involved diff ferent groups of persons in differ ent claims, and this was run for a couple of weeks.
 Then the News heard something drop and woke up to the fact that it was running incompetent adver- usements. The second advertise ment referred to was split and two notices run in place of one
 But will the News-Miner, so in terested in errorless advertising, say why the first advertisement re- ferred to has been continued in it's useless form, to the detriment of the interests of the miner who is not here to lCok after himself? Is il because to change it would be a confession to the man interested that he had been falsely informed by the News-Miner, when that paper took his money for an absolutely useless consideration? or is it because the News would have to print six or seven notices in the place of the useless one it started off with?

common thing in an old mining dis trict 10 see house. or even part of a town. that has been wrecked by dropping into an unsuspected and long-abandoned tunnel beneath The ordinary preventive method used in American mines is more or less extensive timbering. but this is never perfectly safe. and even with reg ular oversight il remains a constant menace 4 method used in Europ- can and Australian mining districts. which does not appear 10 have been applied to the metal mines of the United States. is advocated by Will fam H. Storms in The Engineering and Mining Journal This is the filling of abandoned workings with sand-a somewhat expensive method to start with. but justified by the fact that. once done. no further thought need be given to it. as it has practically become once more part of the solid crust of the earth. We quote an abstract of Mir storms article made for The Engin- eering Magazine CNew York. Dee ember). where We read
 The workings of what is known as he Shamrock mine. in West phalia. are filled with sand. These workings are about 1900 feet deep and the sand is carried 1.50O feet horizontally from the shaft under ground and deposited; at another mine it is carried a horizontal dis tance of over $500 feet Al the Myslowitz colliery. 5000 tons of sand were daily sent down into the mine for stope filling. In this mine one coal seam is s 10 21 feet thick and another 2S to g feet. indicat- ing that sand filling is applicable 10 large as well as small stopes. The sand is obtained from a bank 20 feet thick and 1.500 feet long. steam shoyels being used 10 load cars which are hauled to points of dis charge by steam locomotives There are two boreholes, one 7SO feet deep the other Hoo feet From the foot of these holes the sand is distrib- uted to the stopes.
 At a colliery near Liege. Belgium rhe sand is sluiced down with water. through 6-inch pipes At one coal mine in Slesia 7,500 tens of sand and debris are sent down daily to fill the stopes
 Tn Western Australia. mill tail ings are sent down into the mines through shafts from the surface The sand is distributed by means of belt-conyeyor placed on an old level running over the stopes to be filled below. Sand-fillng has been practised in the Western Australian mines fer the last fourteen years. so may be said to have there passed the stage of experiment The cost is stated 10 be about % cents per ton of ore extracted, which certainly compares favorably with the most economical employment of timber in American mines.
 If it is run wet. the sand will settle and some water will rise 10 the surface of the sand and may be drained or pumped away. while some of the water will surely leak away through creyices in the bulkhead and even in the rocks. Anything that could cause a mud-rush must be carefully avoided"

From the Loop on up Pedro creek is a recognized dredging proposition The flat at the june dcn of Gilmore and Pedro creeks has been prospected only in a half hearted way because the pay at this one point appears to be so scat tered.
