All records for large cargoes at the
Port Covington piers of the Western
Maryland Railway Company We're
broken Wednesday afternoon when
the steamship Aros Castle docked at
the new open pier of the company,
and unloadcd its cargo of approx
mately 5000 tons of chrome ore.
This ship plies between South African
ports and Baltimore city, and the
cargo that it has discharged at the
terminals of the railway company is
of special significance, in that it is
the forerunner of further shipments
not only from South Africa, but all
the leading countries of the world,
being handled through Baltimore at
Port Covlngton.
The consignment of ore will be
shipped West over the lines of the
Western Maryland Railway Company
and its connections.
The Aros Castle is the second ocean
going vessel to dock at the new pier
of the Western Maryland Railway
Company within the past week. The
first cargo consisted of manganese
shipments originating at an Italian
port. This ore was also consigned
to western industries and was hauled
west via Western Maryland.

charging tuhs and barrels OF every
sort and size. Paul stared in dismay
at this fearful panorama. Among
those thousands, which tun held Ger
many's ruler and which the woman
spy? He could never find either.
He staggered like drunken man
around the yards. At the gates por-
ters were joking and chatting with
drivers as the hideous tuns were un-
loaded and sent crashing upon the
tops Of others. From their battered
sides thin drops of wine stained the
ground like blood. Which one? Dear
God, which one?
Stay There was song. For had
not His Majesty composed a famous
song, the Song to Aegir," which had
been satirized and ridiculed and ad.
mired throughout all Germany and
Europe, too?
Paul Lane began to hum that song.
Presently, as he threaded his way
among the maze Of tuns. 1t occurred
to him that the barrels from Gabriels
having been collected only recently,
would of necessity be on the out
skirts nearest the gates. This thought
gave him new hope. He picked his
way thither and began singing again.
And at last, just as he had abandoned
hope he heard the faintest answer.
He stopped, hardly daring to hope.
He sang loudly. Now he could dis.
tinguish the tun from which the voice
proceeded. He listened; 1t was the
answer. 1t was the Song to Aegir,"
and sung under circumstances such as
its royal composer had never in his
widest dreams imagined.
Paul went toward that end of the
barrel where he knew the Kaiser's
feet must be. He swung his arm back
and his fist forward. An instant later
he was helping Germany's ruler out
of his hiding place.
And both gasped:
"The woman."
The second barrel must lie near the
first. Paul half lifted and tested
them. Light-light-ligh this
one must hold all that was left of her.
Again he swung his fist and the bar
rel head burst asunder. And out OF
1t scrambled, very flushed and in
dignant and hopelessly in disarray,

RATHER HAD LITTLE CHANCE
6Iacksnake Easily overcame Deadly
Reptile in Battle Witnessed by
Interested Spectators.

John Blackford was about to kill q
blacksnake here to stop its theft OF
eggs when the thief earned its liberty
by saving the life OF his mother.
writes Swartwood IN. J) corre-
spondent Of the New York Sun.
The young man had found the nest
OF hen that had taken to laying it's
eggs in grove some distance away
from the house. He also discovered
that the blacksnake had been devour,
ing the eggs as fast as the hen laid
them He determined to ambush the
snake and kill 1t.
He and his mother watched the hen
and when the egg was deposited in
the nest they orept closer to watch
for the thief. In few minutes the
blacksnake appeared stealthily creep
ing through the underbrush. Mrs,
Blackford was 80 fascinated at the
sight Of the blacksnake that she did
not hear soft whlrring sound close
by her as she stepped back to give
John plenty Of room In which to dis
patch the reptile.
Evidently the whirring sound dld
not escape the blacksnake. Suddenly
1t stopped and its whole body seemed
to stiffen. More quickly than the eye
Of Mrs. Blackford could follow, 1t
darted toward her, but little to the
side AS she screamed and jumped
back her son leaped to her rescue,
but he stopped, too, for he saw what
human beings rarely see, blacksnake
fighting rattler.
The two stood aside and watched
the conflict, which was uneven from
the start. The long slim blacksnaka
was too quick for the more sluggish
and heavier poisonous one. With ita
first leap 1t had clamped its fangless
Jaws back of the poison head of the
rattler and wound its body tight
around the others. In few seconda
the life had been squeezed out OF the
rattlesnake.
THAT snake can have all the eggs
on this farm for all O. me-" remarked
young Blackford when 1t was overs
land what's more, I'll never kill an,
other blacksnake as long as l live"
That's Just the way I feel said

INCREASE ON NATION
AL FOREST RANGES.

A marked increase in the quantity
of livestock grazed on national forest
ranges during the past fiscal year is
reported by the forest service. Nine
and a half million domestic animals
have been occupied during the sum-
mer in converting one of the by~pro-
ducts of the forests into meat, hides,
and wool. In addition, there were
in round numbers three hundred
thousand calves and colts and five
million lambs and kids exempt from
permit and therefore not enumerated.
According to the figures gathered,
the amount of stock graZed under
permit during the year is over four
per cent greater than for the previous
year, while the number of pcrmittees
using the forests for pasturage pur-
poses was increased from 26, 4Ol to
- 4GG. The total receipts by the
government from grazing fees for the
twelve months ending June 80, 1913,
were 81, ,OO1 ,1S9, and the portion OF
this applied to schools and roads III
the states in which the national for
rsts are situated is about 1892, 1OS.
Grazing is second only to lumber
ing as "A principal use of the national
forests. Practically all of the nation
al forests used extensively for grazing
purposes are within the eleven states
extending east from the Pacific Coast,
known as the far western group.
These states contain, according to
latest reports, S,546,OO cattle, p
SlO,O 900 horses and mules, and 2S,,
396, 900 sheep. The national forests
support in these states / per cent OF
the total number of cattle grazcd,
3. IS per cent of horses and mules,
and 21.5 per cent of sheep.
1t is estimated that the annual
product of these animals is 100000
head of beef cattle of various ages
and grades and 100000 head of
lambs and mutton sheep.
Since the average net meat weight
of a beef animal is 5l5 pounds, of
lamb 81 pounds, and of a sheep -
pounds, the stock grazcd on national
forests in the eleven far western states
produce annually about l55 million
pounds Of beef and 312 million pounds
of mutton. In addition, it is said
the wool grown totals $4,000
pounds, hides approximate 800, 900
in number, and pelts 5000, 900.
This output, according to the for
est service, does not involve amy ma
terial sacrifice of forest or watershed
protection or permanent forage pro-
ductivity on the national forests.
The system of range management APP
piled by the government has proved,
it is claimed, effective and simple,
and the quality and quantity of the
national forage crop is said to be inn
proving each year.

CONSIDERED NEW
 MINING LAWS
Tucson Mining Men Decide They Are Satisfied With the Present Statute Relat- ing to Patenting Claims

TUCSON, Dec. Z.-That no change be made in the present federal min. Ing laws about the patenting of min. ing claims. except fer some minor changes in the working out of as. sessments. was the principal recon. mendation of a conference of mining men held at the chamber of com. merce last evening in order to form. uiate an answer to uestions sub. miltted by the American Institute of Mining Engineers.
 The meeting was fairly well attend ed and the discussions were spirited and the sides of the various questions were well brought out and discussed. Captain MceDrmott, president of the chamber of commerce and one of Tue. sons leading mining men, presided. The question of continuing the pres. ent system of patenting mining Land was, in reality, a contest between the alternate methods of patenting or leasing by the government and the weight of opinion appeared to be on  the side of the present system of leas ing by quite a majority.
 The question of whether oil lands should be treated the same as miner al lands was passed up by the confer ence, and the preference of the meet ing for the square location of mining hsnds or fer the law of the apex as at present was decided in favor oi the latter arrangement.
 There was considerable discussion without any recommendation on the question as to how locations should be initiated and perpetuated but nc special answer was recommended.
 The discussions of the meeting will be formulated by Captain MeDermott into a well digested report and for rwarded to the American Institute oi Mining Engineers which called the meeting. Those present included Captain William McDermott, G. S McWade. John D. Wright. Tom K Richey, A. w. Forbes, Maxwell Mil ton. Tom Borton, Gus Hoff. Perez Rider, L.. Rockafeilow of Bisbee.
