The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1913-12-04

According to G. L. Sheldon, who is
high grading, which appeared recent
ly in the Engineering and Mining
Journal, some Mexicans are past mas
tiers at this style of stealing. In all
high grade gold camps high grading il
common, but American miners are
amateurs at carrying rich ore conceal
ed from the mines in comparison with
the MeXcans, as this chapter of Mr.
Sheldons will show:
"For ingenuity and cunning in steal
ing rich ores, the Mexican beats them
all. | have known of his greasing the
hair Of his head and his body, rubbing
in thoroughly the fine drillings Of ma
tive silver
In Bamboo Sticks.
"The water boys, who carry a five
gallon oil can of water on each end OF
a bamboo stick, which is light, strong
and hollow, except at the joints or tho
knots, which are drilled through, join
with the miners in filing the bamboo
stick with the native silver drillings,
thus getting away with several ounces
at each trip.
an northern Mexico, in recent years,
the theft of rich ore from well known
producer was enormous. From dis
lance | saw one morning, 80 mule
loads of ore going to a distant ranch
where 1t could be ground up in the ia -
honas. For a distance from 10 to 100
miles from the mine. we have seen
this ore, which was easily recognized
being ground in tahona run by a
burro or mule.
The Mine Robber.
1.-TWO miners were caught one day
going out on the main trail with over
$4,000 worth of ore on their backs. In
the company doctors trunk was found
several thousand dollars worth Of
amalgam.
''But the gambucino is the shrewd-
est. He makes a business of robhinp
mines, especially those NOT IN active
operation, to such an extent that 1t Is
a notorious fact in Mexico that one
rarely finds any rich ore in sight. If
a free ore, he grinds 1t in the tahona
and If base he will smelt it in an adobe
furnace, using plenty of lead ore and
ltharge from some other adobe smell
ter In either case, its identity is
quickly changed.

Meritorious Plan Suggested.

After attending the stockholders
meeting, Mr.. Strobe visited Washing
ton, where he made important sug-
gestions relative to an investigation of
the smelter trust. He spent an hour
and half with President Wilson, who
showed great interest in the subject
and In the suggestions made by Mr..
Strobe. Among the suggestions made
by him was the establishment of gov
eminent assay offices at all smelters
so that ores may be tested and check
maintained upon the charges made by
the smelters He also suggested the
possibility of the necessity for govern
ment regulation of charges for smelt-
ing of the precious ores.

Early Piety Not Always the Cause
of Badness.

Inasmuch as it is an accepted fact
that badness, falling hair and dan
druff are caused by a germ, doesn't
it stand to reason that the only way
to prevent such calamities is to kill
the germs?
And doesn't it stand to reason that
the only way to kill these germs is to
use Partisan Sage, which Peil, the
druggist, has so much faith in that
he guarantees it to cure dandruff,
falling hair and itching scalp in two
weeks, or money back?
Partisan Sage is a delightful hair
tonic pleasant to use. 1t is not
sticky or greasy, and contains only
those ingredients that will surely
benefit
1t is now sold by druggists all
over America, and by Peil, the drug
gist, for so cents a large bottle. 1t
is used extensively by women who
desire luxuriant hair with a radiant
luster. The girl with the Auburn
hair is on every package. Feb. 21-2S

CORN DAY AT STATE COLLEGE.
School of Agriculture and Experi-
ment Station of the Pennsylvania
State College to Hold Corn
Day Feb 2R

One of the important features will
be display of the corn show at the
State Corn Show at Harrisburg and
at the National Corn Show at Co.
lumbus, South Carolina. The whole
exhibit will include about 200 To-
ear lots, representing the best corn
grown in the various sections of
Pennsylvania. The corn in the ex-
hibit from Pennsylvania at the Ma
tional Corn show was one of the
most creditable exhibits there. 1t
includes the sweepstake exhibit of
flint corn for the United States and
the champion 10 ear lot of dent corn
for the Middle Atlantic and New
England States.
There will be special topics of
interest to corn growers discussed as
follows:
$3.50 a. m.-Care and Testing of
Seed Corn, c. F. Noll; More Corn
Per Acre, F. D. Gardner; Corn for
Silage, H. P. Davis.
1880 p. m.-Selection of Seed
Corn, w. H. Dorst; Boys Corn
Clubs, NJ. S. Mcdowell.
Corn is the most important cereal
crop in Pennsylvania, both in total
acreage and in the acre value of
the crop. In yields, too, Pennsyl-
vania compares favorably with even
the states of the corn belt. 1t is
because of the Importance of this
crop and the possibility of realizing
greater profits from it, that this day
has been set apart as Corn Day.
Farmers are invited to bring with
them 5-ear lots of their corn to add
to the exhibit. These may be taken
back by the farmers, when so de-
sired, at the close of the meetings.
Wide publicity of this important
meeting will be given throughout
Pennsylvania and it is believed that
hundreds of farmers will avail them
selves of this opportunity to hear the
discussions, see the exhibit and at
the same time visit their Agricul-
tural College and Experimental Sta
| ton.

WASHINGTON TAKING OATH OF OFFICE.
Broad and Wall streets. New York.
The United States subtreasury now
occupies this site, and on the broad
portico of the building. at the exact
spot where the Father of His Country
took the oath as the first president,
there now stands a noble statue of
him. Within a stones throw is the
famous New York Stock Exchange.
The president was almost as reluc-
tant to enter a second term as he had
been the first. Jefferson. his secre-
tary of state. and Hamilton. secretary
of the treasury, Joined in urging him
to accept. Widely as the two were
divided personally and politically, they
were united on this point.
One additional embarrassment at
about this time occurred in the death
Of a nephew, George A. Washington,
who had been left in charge at Mount
Vernon. The president feared that
this would "cause my private concerns
to suffer very much"
Nevertheless he accepted. In the
election he received every vote of the
electoral college, as before. By this
time the seat of government had been
moved to Philadelphia. where the sec
Dnd inaugural occurred.
During the second administration
war was declared between England
and France, and the president and his
advisers were accused of siding with
England. This was denounced by
friends Of France as the rankest in
gratitude, In view Of the services rem
dered by France to the American revo-
lutionists. Out Of this situation grew
the bitterest attacks ever made on the
first president.

THE SHORTEST INAUGURAL.
Washinston's Second Address Only
1856 Words Long.

Washinston's Second Address Only
1856 Words Long.
The first president was never given
to much speaking. His first inaugural
was, however, of average length. This
was delivered in New York at the very
beginning of our national life under
the constitution, and the occasion de-
manded a more extended utterance
than the Father of His Country was
wont to give. The second inaugural,
delivered four years later in Philadel-
phia. was more in line with his custom
and was exceedingly brief, only 135
words long, in fact. 1t is believed to
be the shortest ever delivered by an
elected president. The address follows
in full:
Fellow Citizens-I am again called
upon by the voice Of my country to ex-
ecute the functions of its chief magis-
trate. When the occasion proper for
1t shall arrive | shall endeavor to ex-
press the high sense l entertain of this
distinguished honor and Of the conf
dence which has been reposed in me
by the people of united America.
Previous to the execution of any
bfficial act of the president the consti-
tuition requires an oath of office. This
oath l am now about to take and in
your presence: That If it shall be found
during my administration Of the gov
ernment l have In any instance vio-
lated willingly or knowingly the in
functions thereof may (besides In
curing constitutional punishmenb be
subject to the upbraidings of all who
are now witnesses OF the present sol
emn ceremony"

DeSpl,e TINS temporary cloud, Wash
ington was yet held in such esteem by
the American people that he was be-
ing urged to accept third term. He
felt however. that he had sacrificed
enough and was determined to retire
to well earned repose at Mount Yer
non. 1t was at this time that he issued
his celebrated farewell address, which
was published in the Philadelphia Ad
vertiser in September, 1896.
While this was the beginning of the
powerful tradition against third term
In the presidency, it is but just to say
that Washington himself made no ar
guments against a third term. He ex
planned that his reasons for withdraw
ing were personal. He would have
taken such a step earlier, but was con-
vinced that it would have been against
public policy. Now. however, that diff
ficulty had been removed. Washington
says:
Il rejoice that the state of your con
Germs. external as well as internal, no
longer renders the pursuit of inclina-
ton incompatible with the sentiment
of duty or propriety and am persuad-
ed, whatever partiality may be retain
ed for my services, that in the pres
ent circumstances of our country you
will not disapprove of my determina-
ton to retire"
AS though the first president had a
prophetic glimpse Of the future, the
burden of the farewell address was an
argument for union and a warning
against the perils of partisan division
and passion. In the memorable closing
paragraph he said:
"Though in reviewing the incidents
of my administration l am unconscious
of intentional error, l am nevertheless
too sensible of my defects not to think
it probable that | have committed
many errors. Whatever they may be,
1 fervently beseech the Almighty to
avert or mitigate the evils to which
they may tend. l shall also carry with
me the hope that my country will nev
er cease to view them with indulgence
and that, after forty-five years of my
life dedicated to its service with up
right zeal, the faults of incompetent
abilities will be consigned to oblivion
as myself must soon be to the man
sions of rest"
Both his country and the world have
certainly carried out this wish.
