had 12O days in which to discharge
her social duties. And then, again, all
the homes of the various members OF
Washington's social world are far apart,
and a visitor must needs cover a fair
area to reach them all.
Well, in the first place, etiquette does
not require the vice presidents wife
to enter the homes Of all ladies of the
political world In making return visits.
In some cases she is not expected even
to return the calls, unless, of course,
the caller had at any time been her
hostess. However she is at perfect
liberty to do so, II SO disposed. .
Mrs. Marshall determined to use her
privileges to the full And. as every

vice president. except the wife Of the

Washington called on Mrs. Marshall
and she fulfilled her resolution that
every one should have a return visit.
Hence her 1000 calls.

Game Law a Dead Letter.

If the state game warden is
going to cut this region out of a
deputyship it is clear case that
he does not care a whoop whether
the game laws are enforced or
not. This immediate locality is
a mecca for hunters of birds,
deer and other game, and our
rivers and creeks attract a large
number of anglers, but where no
effort is made by the proper au-
thorities TO enforce the game
laws Of the state, there is every
reason to suppose that many
people evade paying the license
fee required Of them by law.
The local deputy has always
done good work in this locality,
but now that the office is vacant
the number of licenses sold here
will be small compared to sales
in former years. This matter
should be put up to the governor
at once as it appears that the
game warden is not at all anXi-
Gus to familiarize himself with
the lay of the land in this neck
of the woods. Perhaps he thinks
we have nothing but bull moose
in this region. .-Kooskia Noun

Danger Of High Water.

The Southfork is showing signs
of stopping over, fixed habit
with that treacherous stream at
this season of the year, and ac-
cording to all accounts the snow
still in the mountains is liable to
spill down in considerable of a
rush. The river has been run
ming high for two weeks or more
and judging from the volume Of
water passing down, people be-
gan to think that the snow was
melting away gradually and
danger of high water this season
created very little anxiety up tc
this time. Kooskia Mountaineer.

NOW in HIGH
GRADE ORE
American Eagle Has Reach
ed Shoot.
Have Got Good Depth But Will Still
Sink.

Work at the American Eagle
mine has now reached that stage
where something deGnate can be
said in regard to the ore bodies
on the lower level. The drift to
the north has been stopped and
all work is now being done in the
south drift. The drift to the
north was run along side of the
vein, and no cross-cut has been
made to determine it's values, but
it is known that it is satisfactory
milling ore.
The south drift has now been
run some 60 it,, and the face is
| all in ore that shows gold, and is
of the same high grade character
as that found in the upper work
ings. 1t was not expected that
the shoot would be encountered
at this point, as it was thought
that it pitched the other way.
The drift from the station was
started in the foot wall, and at
the first cross-cut it was decided
that it would be better to take
out the vein. The vein filing
here was mostly quartz and
porphyry, is 6 ft. wide, and the
walls are we'll defined and little
broken, and it was easy to work.
The face of the south drift is
considerably over 200 ft. from
the surface, and is about as deer
as any ore has ever been founC
in the district.
At the present time arrange
ments are being made to sinh
another hundred feet before the
mill is started. This would give
them the deepest shaft in the
district besides opening VI
enough ore for a long run.

are the public utilities commits

Best Time of Year to Get the Tiles.

A few flies live over winter.
These are the sluggish ones seen
early in the spring. The females
are ready to lay eggs and are
seeking stored stable manure.
In a few days each female that
passed the winter will be repre-
sented by two hundred fifty to
four hundred individuals. Thus
they will continue to multiply for
the rest of the summer. Thoroly
spraying the manure with kero-
sene will kill the eggs of young
maggots, but will spoil the man
ure for fertilizer. Spraying the
manure with Paris Green water
"a tablespoon to a bucket of
water) will poison the maggots.
The best way is to haul the ma
nure to the open fields once each
week, and spread it out where it
can dry. The drying kills the
maggots.
Flies will breed in outhouses
and garbage. These should be
closed fytight, or frequently
sprinkled with chloride of lime,
freshly Stacked lime or kerosene.
One fly killed today will equal the
killing of several hundred thous-
and next August. If civic pride
is no incentive for action, the
safety of the general health
ought to demand that each per.
son take hand in this fly fight

TREASURER NOW
TAX COLLECTOR
Supreme Court Renders Important
Decision.

Every county treasurer in
Idaho is the tax collector for his
county and has been such since
the election last fall, because of
the adoption by the voters of the
amendment providing that the
treasurer shall be tax collector
by virtue of his office. The con-
stitutional amendment on this
point adopted by the voters was
self-executing, it required the
enactment of no law by the leg
islature to put it in operation,
and therefore the statute enacted
by the legislature last winter to
put the constitutional amend
ment in operation the second
Monday in January, 1915, is null
and of effect whatever.
This is the purport of a deci-
sion rendered by the state supre-
me court that will be of vital in
teresr to every county in the
state. 1t is of far-reaching i'm
portance, because it holds that
constitutional provisions are
self-executing when there is
manifest intention that they
should go into immediate effect,
and no ancillary legislation is
necessary to the enjoyment Of
the right given or the enforce
ment of any duty"

Mica Used for Decoration.

Large quantities of scrap mica
small sheets and the waste
from the manufacture of sheet
mica-are ground for different
uses, among which are the deco
ration of wall paper and the
manufacture of lubricants, fancy
paints, and nodded mica for
electrical insulation, according to
the United States Geological Sur
vey. Ground mica applied to
wall paper gives silvery luster.
When mixed with grease or oils
finely ground mica forms an ex-
cellent lubricant for axles and
other bearings. Mixed with
shellac or special combusitions,
ground mica is nodded into de-
sired forms and is used in insu-
lators for trolley wires. Ground
mica for electrical insulation
must be free from metallic min
erals. Mica used for fabrication
should be free from gritty matter.
For wall paper and brocade
paints a ground mica with a high
luster is required, and such luster
is best obtained by using a clean,
light-colored mica and grinding
it under water. Coarsely ground
or bran" mica is used in in
creasing quantities to coat the
surface of composition roofing
material to prevent the tar OF

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Railway tunnels in New York

miles.
Asbestos is not mined on a
commercial scale in Arizona,
though deposits Of probable value
have been reported.
Oil used by locomotives of the
Southern Pacific system in Cali

Earnings from transportation

Old Cornish or Lancashire boi-
lers, with the fire. tubes and one
end cut off, the other having the
hole plated over, a chute and
door fitted on, and the whole
placed on end on a frame work
of suitable height, make excellent
storage bins for small mines.
Head-frames are generally high
enough to allow of a short tram
way being laid to the top of such
bins. An old boiler, about 6 by
20 it., should hold nearly 80 tons.
of broken ore.
Shaft sinking records are made
occasionally in different mining
districts of the world. but in any
comparison of time taken to go a.
certain distance, there are several
points to be considered, such as:
character of rock, vertical or in
cline shaft. style and quantity of
timbering, water to be handled,
size of shaft, hosting appliances,
and hand or machine drills used,
and whether ore is being hoisted
from the same shaft in which
sinking is being done. In sink
ing two shafts at the Brakpan
mine, on the Rand, each SO by
6 1-2 ft. in the clear, the average
speed was 126 and 152 ft. per
month. This was beaten at the
Modder Deep and the State mine
where the greatest footage ever
attained in a vertical shaft with
machine-drills was 168 ft. per
month. One mine at Kalgoorlie,
direct sinking in greensboro to
1000 ft. depth, shaft 5 by IA ft.
within timbers, with three ma
chimes and 18 men per "a hours,
, was sunk about 10 ft. per month
; including timbering. At Ora
Banda, near Kalgoorlie, a shaft
s by 13 it., was sunk $50 fit. in
, kaolin and shistose country at an
angle of 27 degrees, in ninety
, 8-hour shifts, using a 2-ton skip,
, and no timbering.
