Military authorities and big game
hunters are much interested in a new
rife sighting system that is designed
to eliminate the necessity for esti-
mat ing distances and adjusting sights
in long-range shooting.
OF the Remington negative angle
system, as the invention is called,
Sir George .Greenhill, a noted En-
glish ballistical expert, said in re-
cent lecture. THE new system proves
that since the origin of firearms our
method of sighting in active service
rifle firing has been wrong. The in
vention is likely to bring about a
revolution in the art of shooting
In brief, the system utilities the
well-known fact that the apparent
size of an object decreases as the
distance increases. The user of the
negative angle, sight is instructed to
sight at point the height of the OBJ
ject under it. If the arm were the
army rifle and the target man, the
point of aiming would be about 5
feet inches below the mans feet.
With the regulation ammunition, as
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1912-09-27

furnished for the army rifles the
negative angle system will insure
hits on the man target at all ranges
from 100 to S25 yards, which is an
increase of about 800 yards over the
range of the present battle sight.
At first it would appear that some
trouble might be met in sighting.
However, no difficulty whatever is
found in aiming at points feet 6
inches below mans feet particul-
arly as the man is conveniently on
the spot to afford a gauge very
much like foot rule photographed
with another object to indicate COM
parative heights.
The new system is the invention of
H. Ommundsen, an Englishman, who
won the Kings prize at a recent
English national shoot, end who has
been high up in the same contest on
several other occasions.
That the system is applicable to
all kinds of game shooting with a
rifle is evident, es to do away with
guessing at distances must newt
ably help the hunter to increase his
field averages.
At the tournament of the New Jer-
sey State Rife Association last week
the negative angle system was given
q rigid test end conclucively proved
it's value and utility.

HELPED OUR COMMERCIAL CLUB

The Blackfoot Commercial club
had some old debts to pay off, and
local men took care of most of them
in point of numbers, but there were
two large ones, for $153 for lights,
and another for something like ST.
200, for printing and advertising,
that hung too heavily for the local
boosters, and were taken care of
very happily the past month.
check for the $3.50 for lights, and at
the time of the visit of the Short
Line officials on the Get Acquainted
train, they observed that the club
was still working and keeping up a
nice little suite of club rooms, and
one of them suggested that the Short
Line just cancel the debt for print
ing and advertising which the COM
pany was carrying for us. This was
taken under advisement, and it has
since b en- attended to on that plan.
The club is now out of debt, and if
local men who can spare the money
will keep up their quarterly dues the
good work of the club can go on,
more prudently let us hope. The
management have learned consider
able by experience, and they still
feel able to cope with questions as
they arise, but there will probably
be less plunging in the future than
in the past.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION CON.
GRESS.

The 1912 session of the Irrigation
Congress which convenes at Salt
Lake City for a four days session on
September Goth will be the anniver-
sary of two important events. First
it will be the twenty-first birthday
of the Congress itself and in addition
it will celebrate the sixty-fifth ami
versary of the inception of Anglo
Saxon irrigation. Oddly enough both
of these anniversaries will be cele-
brated at the very place where they
originated for it was at Salt Lake
City that the National Irrigation
Congress first sprang into being and
at the same place the first water was
| turned into the land for irrigation
purposes by Anglo-Saxons.
1t will not be upon it's historic
significance that the coming session
of the Congress will depend for force
or popularity. It's usefulness has
long ago been firmly established and
the foremost questions IN connection
with irrigation have been thoroughly
discussed in open session with the
result that it's deliberations have
shaped the actions not only of our
own but of Foreign governments.
In spite of its past accomplish
ments the coming Congress will have
an opportunity to deal with some of
the greatest questions ever present
ed for consideration ranging all the
way from state rights to waters fiOw-
ing through its territory down to the
best means of building a hedge of
safety around irrigation finance and
the Surcst methods of shutting out
wild cal" and "get rich quick OPP
orators from irrigation speculation.
These important subjects will be
handled by the greatest minds in
America and their studies along
these lines will be presented for the
benefit of irrigationists at large.
The interest already shown fore
tells larger gathering of delegates
than has marked any former Con-
gress end Salt Lake City is prepar-
ing a most unique plan of entertain
ment which will be specially en-
blematic of the Inter-moutain en-
pire. These plans include an open
ing session filled with magnificent
music including rendition of the
famous Ode to Irrigation by Choir
us of four hundred accompanied by
the historic Tabernacle organ and
orchestra of fifty pieces. Then
there will be mammoth electric
pagent led by the Queen of Irrigat-
ion, the Wizard of the Wasatch and
their attendant suites, the four
days of enjoyment ending with a
grand ball at the Hotel Utah.

COFFEE is HARMLESS IF MADE
RIGHT.

1t was Turkish ambassador to
the court of Louis XIV, who brought
coffee to the attention of the Euro
pean nations. 1t is quite needless to
say that Mustapha Aga made his
famous beverage in the good old
fashioned Turkish way, and that he,
nor any Turk ever knew such a uten-
sill as a coffee pot. The Turkish
ambassador served his rich, dark
brown beverage in golden cups and
within a short time coffee drinking
became Partisan craze Everyone
wanted coffee, but only the very
wealthy could afford the new drink,
as coffe then sold for $1,000 a pound
1t was an ingenious Frenchman, q
cripple, who invented our common
everyday coffee pot. He bought old
coffee grounds, after they had been
used in the fashionable restaurants,
and boiled them up. in a pot. This
mudd liquid he retailed in the streets
of Paris for a few cents cup thus
putting coffee" within the reach of
all.
And, strange to-day, though, the
price of coffee has dropped to a few
cents pound, most of us prepare
the beverage in the same way as the
French cripple and with about the
same results.
Now Turk, or Russian, would
feel insulted if he were offered a
cup of coffee such as is prepared in
the average American home. 1t is
doubtful if he would even know what
he was drinking, SO unlike is the bev-
erage we know as coffee to his own
national drink. They do not make
coffee by putting handful Of
grounds into pot and stewing it in
stove. They do not bring coffee to
a boil, neither do they allow the
grounds to touch the resultant bev-
erage. They make coffee in a per-
colator where the hot water is per-
colated through the grounds until the
beverage is of the right strength,
then the heat is shut off and the cof-
fee served. The result is clear
sparkling beverage, of rich brown
color, possessed of an appetizing odor
and without the harmful caffeine to
shatter the nerves and undermine
the health. The aromatic, volatile
oil, which makes coffee such fra
grant and appetizing drink, is not
boiled away.
Not until the advent of the electric
coffee percolator did we, as a whole
realize that our coffee was not cof-
fee and that the old fashioned coffee
pot was a makeshift and failure
The electric coffee percolator is but
a modern adaptation of the old al
cohol coffee machine of the Russians.
In the electric percolator the ground
coffee is placed in a receptacle at
the top of the pot. When the water
is heated sufficiently by electricity
it is forced up small pipe and
sprinkled over the grounds. AS the
hot water drips through the ground
coffee it carries with it all the ele-
ments which go to make good cup
of coffee and leaves behind all that
is harmful in the berry. A few min
utes is sufficient to prepare pot of
coffee and no one who has tasted per-
colated coffee will ever go back to
the old coffee pot unless he has to.
The electric percolator costs a little
more than the old fashioned coffee
pot-which was as cheap as it was
useless-but it is worth more money.
With the percolator coffee can | be
made right on the dining room table

The Utah Consolidated Co.'S ore
bodies near Bingham, Utah, are con-
lined to its limestone beds, of which
they are requirements. a relatively
small proportion of its limestone area
has been thoroughly explored. Under
the direction of President Claiming
the property is being developed very
rapidly, about 1000 feet of new under
ground openings being driven monthly.
As a result of this, the company is in
creasing its ore shipments. adding TO
its developed reserves and getting into
shape to pay regular dividends again.
\ dividend of fifty cents a share, $50,
CO.'S, was paid three months ago out of
last years earnings, which the man
agement at the time estimated would
amount to about 300, OOO$. -Mini-g Age.

Have two Feet of High-Grade

CIrleson and Lund, leasing on the
Qlartette property TO the west of the
main shaft, now have in their new shaft
which has reached a depth of about
twenty feet, two feet of what they re-
port to be high grade. The stuff is
very soft and a bright red, and is said
to horn beautifully.
The leasers are preparing to move
their hoist from their first shaft to the
new one, and get busy and take out the
ore, of which they expect to have fifty
tons ready for the mill in few DAYS.
The vein, which is said by the leasers
to be an entirely different one from
any heretofore worked, has north
south lead with dip of about forty-five
degrees to the west, and is clearly de-
fined from the grass roots. How much
there may be of it is not known: this
can only be decided by exploitation
However, work so far would tend to
give the impression that it increases
with depth.-Searchlight Bulletin.

ing heavy values in copper, which
range as high as 80 per cent, while
gold assays give IS per ton, and silver

in width, in which is the pay streak
that carries the above values He
states that from the surface TO present
depth there has not been the least in
dication of the ore bodies decreasing,
and his purpose is to continue TO in
definite depth, making shipments TO
the smelter later. For the present
work has been suspended on the point
where operations were originally con
Quoted, which is about 600 feet distant.
The good showing being made at the
present time follows the accidental dis
covery of a blind vein. some few

Santa Maria Has
Revival in Mining.

Henry Barkschat, operating mines
on the Santa Maria, arrived from his
camp Friday night and left yesterday
for Chicago, to consult with associates
in connection with big strike recent
ly made. At a depth of less than
forty feet in the main shaft he
developed a streak of ore from six to
ten inches wide that carries lSS in
gold, 10 ounces in silver and from 40
per cent to 90 per cent in lead.
The claim is situated between the
properties of the Pagdad Mining com
pany and the Cowboy mines. Speak.
ing of the latter proposition he states
that a crosscut is being run to tap the
vein at a point about 200 feet distant.
and that the property looks encourag
ing from work done at other points.
He is also interested in the company.
and is ode of the original stock holderS.
Mr.. Barkschat reports considerable
excitement over the big strike made
by G. G. Stukey, of Walker, who is
operating in the same zone. He says
that at depth of feet a vein rang
ing from sixteen inches to over two
feet had been developed that ran high
in gold and lead, in fact it was re-
garded as the greatest mineral de-
termination that has been made up TO
date in that field. Mr.. Stukey is
personally directing the work, and
contemplates remaining in the camp
indefinitely. Mrs. Stukey joined him
a few days ago.
At other points in the immediate
vicinity, Mr.. Barkschat states that
more activity than in many years is
noticeable, and the district faces an
attractive Internationally Miner.
