Continued from page u

The shaft. which is l2x22 inside tim
bers, was started at an angle of 40 de-
grees at a point over 300 feet from the
ore body When wa were at the mine
last week IL had reached depth of ESQ
feet and Mr.. Pearce informed us that
he hoped to cut the ore body about the
first of next month.
The reason for starting the shaft so
far from the ore body was TO avoid an
expensive sand shaft which the com.
pany would have hal on it's hands had
IL attempted to drop shaft close TO
the ore body. Instead. they went
back in the black states and, with no
trouble at all, got their ledge IN a few
feet and have had excellent rock TO
sink in ever since. The rock is black
states of the graphite order, COM
paratively easy to drill and good
breaking ground. The water flow is
! light. about 100 gallons per minute
but it all drips out of the back making
1t disagreeable working in the shaft

proposition and the continuance used

aud these two standards are connected

ing q sort of head frame. The rope
runs through the two standards just
under the cap piece with small
shieve arranged so that the rope will
run over IL and allow the bucket 20

rope is secured back OF the back stand
ard by clamp that allowes IL plenty
of play and also causes the car Co be
moved forward when the power IL put
onto the rope. The. car is pulled up
with the bucket swinging clear of the
frame behind IL and is easily dumped
by the landing men.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY
While DIR. A. Schlapik was making
= cali at house On First Ave. Tues
day afternoon about five o'clock, he
left his horse united and the animal
decided to take a run on his own hook
He ran down the avenue to its ending
on Maple street. where he turned east
and continued ON TO Third street and
then north as far as Genesee and Third
streets, where he came to grief. Going
at great speed, he dashed the buggy
against the curbing opposite the Ma
tional bank building, upsetting il
and being dragged down himself by
it's weight. A bystauder promptly
leaped forward and sat upon his head
until the doctor arrived, this treat
ment serving to quench the ardor OF
the fiery steed for racing. The horse
was uninJured and the buggy only
slightly DAMAGED.

meeting of the state railway commits
sion telephone questions took consid-
cradle time. A general notice was
issued to all telephone men OF the
state of two general hearings. n at

City, June 20, at which all matters
complained OF in regard to discrimina-
tons in charges between stockholders
and the non-stockholders as to deliv-
cry OF messages. switching charges
and numerous complaints will be con
sidered.
The Potter County Telephone com
pany of Gettysburg filed an applica-
ton for permission to change rates at
Lebanon, and were directed to file a
plat of their property. The Nebraska
company filed a petition to establish
rental rates at Whitewood and the
matter was taken under advisement
at a meeting to be held at that place
June 10. Permission was granted
the Dakota Central company to in
rease telephone rates at Mellette, to
allow them to establish all night and
Sunday service at that place. A hear
ing in regard to complaints generally

will be held some time in July. Be-
sides the general telephone hearings
at Mitchell and Rapid City, special
hearings have been set at Hot Springs
June %, on switching disputes be-
tween Point of Rocks company and
Hot Springs local; at Edgemont June
% on a dispute between the Ardmore
and Edgemont companies on switching
charges. The schedule of rates filed
by the Dakota Central company for
their exchange at M%obridge was sus-
pended for sixty days, the company to
be served with a notice to show cause
why they should not put their present
system at Mobridge in first class con-
dition to cut out excessive and trou-
blesOme cross talks.
In regard to railway matters before
the board, the counsel for the board
was directed to prepare a complaint
and petition to be filed with the in

valuations, which Is claimed to be un-
fair to shippers in case Of loss or DAM
age to stock in shipment.

proposition than an art susceptible OF
practical benefits, and this has really
hurt aviation more thar it has helped.
Speed has appealed pre-eminently to
racing men and to what may appro-
priately be termed the nautical aero
bats, and In some senses this speed
has saved more lives than 1t has sac
stances of It's employment. The vic:
torious Vedrines strongly advocates
speed on the score that It makes for
safety by offsetting or combating more
successfully atmospheric vagaries
while in flight, but this element OF
high velocity multiplies the hazard or
the difficulty of %alighting rs well as
increasing the danger Of engine trou-
BILE and shortness Of the life Of the
motor.
For war purposes an aeroplane mo-
tor should work efficiently at different
speeds because varying drive power
will be needed for dissimilar services.
A motor of this sort would END itself
to relatively low speed so that the
flying machine could return to the
ground much as a vessel slackens her
Roadway when coming up to her dock.
Captain Chambers has a very definite
opinion upon this subject, which he
explains as follows:
"A weight carrying %aeroplane, such
as a hydroaerOplane, necessarily needs
a motor with considerable range OF
speed, and the same kind Of motor Is
needed to reduce the danger Of alight-
ing. / think aviation would be i'm
proved If the terms OF future speed
contests were arranged so as to re-
quire each contestant to go over the
course twice-the second time at an
average speed 20 per cent. lower than
his highest average"
The layman has heard so much OF
anti-balloon guns and other weapons
for the humiliation Of all kinds Of air
craft, that he pictures the flying ma
chine as being knocked into bits by
the precise fire OF these weapons. AS
a matter Of fact, during the war in
Tripoli the Italian a~eroplanes were
but seldom hit. never disastrously, and
when up In the air three thousand feet
they were not touched at all. Ameri-
aeroplanes, have proved that it Is en-
tirely feasible for them to reach this
height, and so far as endurance Of
flight is concerned, they hold the rec

ara navy Curtiss hydroaeroplane. In
ventors have developed an %aeroplane
wireless outfit of very moderate
weight, and with this equipment
aviators are able to cover a range of
ffty miles.
The next naval conflict is likely to
find hvdroaeroplanes a feature of the
essential equipment OF all large men-of-
war, and the flying machine must be
considered seriously and not as a mere
fad or a mechanical achievement of no
material value. In peace-time maneu-
vers the French have clearly shown
that the aeroplane is capable Of doing
scout duty of an important character,
detecting not only ships upon the wa
ter, but the presence Of submarines
supposedly hidden below the surface
Of the sea; and recent experiments
with armor piercing bombs-dropped
from aircraft-have turned a new
page In the art Of warfare.

to court on appeal when the time limit
for such appeal had been passed for
several months, under the rules of the
court. The attorneys in the case
agreed to waive the time limit by
stipulation, but the court refused to
