Kansas works convicts on the
roads, that is those convicted of pet
ty offenses. But in many counties
there are no petty offenders because
the counties are dry. Hence little
road work is done by the inhabitants
of the jails. But it is a good scheme,
especially in sections where there
are large number of old "jags"

SINGULAR Use For Bread.

Bread is used for many purposes, but
the most singular use may be seen IN
some of the great watch factories.
More than forty loaves Of fresh bread
are required each day in one such fac
tory. 1t appears that from the earliest
times in the history of matchmaking it
has been the custom of watchmakers
to reduce fresh bread to the form of
dough by steaming and kneading.
They use this dough for removing oil
and chips that naturally adhere in the
course Of manufacture to pieces as
small as the parts of watch. The
oil is absorbed by the dough and the
chips stick to it, and there is no other
known substance which can be used
as. wiper without leaving some small
portion attached to the thing wiped

Have Leased The Mckinley Mine.

Deputy Sheriff G.. S. Thomp-
son and Billy Simpson, a Coeur
d'Alene mining man, have leased
the Mckinley mining property at
Lucille and Mr.. Simpson is at the
property getting things in shape
to work the property this winter.
The gentlemen expect to work a
large enough crew Of miners to
keep the one-stamp mil running
night and day. The one difficult
ty to be encountered is the get
ting of gasoline to the mill. The
road to the property was washed
out by a water spout and it is
necessary to pack in from Lucille.
Mr.. Thompson expects to be al
the property after the 18th Of
January. White Bird Sun.

Thifiy-Elghi DynamiterS
Guilty on all Charges

The United States government
with stern and decisive swiftness
Saturday took into its possession
80 union labor officials convicted
of conspiracy, of promoting eX-
plosions on non-union work,
throughout the land, of aiding in
the destruction which brought
loss of life in Los Angeles, and
of carrying on a reign of terror"
declared to be unparalleled in
the history of the country.
Almost the entire executive
staff of the International Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers was
convicted. Only two officials of
that union now remain out of
Jail.
Saturdays convictions, coming
on a scale unprecedented in q
federal court, are an aftermath
of the killing of q persons in the
blowing up of tNe Los Angeles
Times building on October l,
1910. Mcnamara and his brother
James B., three times dynamiter
are convicts in California; Ryan
and his fellow officials, former
associates of Mcnamara, are
federal prisoners 1t indianapolis,

in. The work. here is progress
ing very satisfactorily, and the
first station will be cut in a short
time. With the completion of
this work the American Eagle
will have the deepest workings
in the district.
The Little Butte mine and mill
have made very creditable show
ing the past year, and will con-
tinue to ship bullion.
There are a number of pros
poets in the district that have
shown up some large bodies Of
ore the past year and some that
only need capital to take hold of
them to put them in the produc-
ing class, and with the general
activity of the mining industry
there can be no doubt but what
some of these prospects will be
active this year.

Alpine Climbers.

In the earlier part of the nineteenth
century many even Of those who had
been up Alpine peaks themselves de-
nounced the sport. Regarding the
ascent of Mont Blanc. Murray's Hand
book in the year 1898 stated that "all
who have succeeded have advised no
one to attempt it" and nearly twenty
years later noted the remarkable fact
that a large proportion Of those who
have made this ascent have been per-
sons Of unsound mind"

Mineral Zone MILLING ORE
GOgd Snow Road Enables Work to
Resume.

The Buster mill is again drop
ping stamps on ere from the
Mineral Zone mine. The mill
was closed down sometime ago
on account of the roads becom-
ing impossible for ore hauling.
There is a large tonnage of ore
stored in the workings of the
mine and more is being stopped.
The work in the mine is confined
to stoping and no development is
now being done.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Bendigo, Australia, has pro-
duced A gold nuggets of and
above the weight of 20 OF. each
found within the auriferous area
comprising the goldfeld. In
1852 the largest was found,
weighing 573 o., followed by
others of 384, 377, 328 and 332
OF. respectfully.
High-speed tool steel is most
durable at approximately the
same speed at which ordinary
carbon steel is most durable, but
it greatly exceeds ordinary steel
in length Of life at the tempera-
ture thus produced.
Lime is generally used in cya-
nide treatment in preference to
caustic soda, which often causes
undesirable results in the zinc
boxes. There are times when
freight plays a part in the choice
of alkali, and at the Associated
Northern mill, at Ora Banda,
Western Australia, it was found
that one ton of caustic soda
would do the work of 80 tons of
lime. of which the freight over
20 miles of road was the main
item of cost.
Linoleum tops for Wilfiey and
Deister tables have been found
at Tonopah to rot away in few
months from the probable action
of hot cyanide solutions. To
prevent this, at the West End
mill, stout canvas is put on in
place and given two coats of P.
& B. paint, and acts we'll, lasting
upward of II months. This
black paint would prevent the
work of the table being watched
at the concentrate discharge end,
so the last II in. is given two
coats of non-acid white paint,
which shows up the concentrate
plainly.
Regrinding 12-mesh pulp from
stamps by Chilean and Hunting
ton mills, results have shown
that upkeep of the latter is much
higher per ton of ore reground
than the former. Steel consum-
ption is also about twice as much
in the Huntington. At one plant
in Nevada these mills have 80
to 40-mesh screens, and the
Chileans 24-mesh. With this
screen the latter will give a finer
discharge, and handle a larger
tonnage per mill, than the for
mer. The power consumed is
II hp. for Huntington and 80
oh. for Chilean.

Vast Amount Of Work Done
the Past Year.
Will Be BANNER YEAR
Important Development Work Now
Under Way.

The past year in the mining
camps of Central Idaho has been
generally prosperous, and the
outlook for the present yesr is
very bright.
While the lack of transporta-
tion-the one great draw back
to this country-is no nearer a
solution, there is still some hope
that the coming year will see
some railroad activity in this
vicinity. That the Salmon river
railroad will be built is a forgone
conclusion, and this at no distant
day, for aside Of its being 300
miles shorter between Portland
and Chicago, it is almost water
grade the entire distance, with
no high divides and snow banks
to stop trafic.
This road would open up in
Central Idaho a vast territory
that is now almost completely
isolated, and is now impossible
to mine at any profit, on account
of the high cost of getting IN
supplies. The road would sup
ply an outlet for the immense
tonnage of low grade ore in the
Buffalo Hump district, the Dixie,
Orogrande and Big Creek dis
tricts, besides giving Elk City a
nearer and more direct route to
the different manufacturing CEN
terS.
The past year has been excep-
tional good in the Elk City dis
trict, in that there has been some
very large and rich ore bodies
opened, and development now
under way promises to surpass
any time in the history of the
district.
Take the South Fork mine.
There has recently been opened
ore shoots, on different levels,
that will give them a large ton
mage for years. This mine has
been a small producer for several
years, and only in the past yeal
have they been able to open uI
the ore reserves that will justify
the company in installing a large
reduction plant.
The recent strike in the Center
| Star group, which is just across
the river from the South Fork
mine is one Of great magnitude
and will put that part of the
country in activity.
The work at the Mineral Zone
group has been very carefully
carried no, and a large tonnage
of high gradesore has been mill
ed, and vast amount of devel
opment done. The mill is now
running and will be able to pro
duce bullion for some time tx
come.
The sinking of the deep shaft
at the American Eagle mine il
one of the most important pieces
of development work being done
in the district, and one that the
mining men are most interested
