BLESSINGS OF
PRESENT TIMES
CHANGES FOR RETIREMENT OF
THE INDUSTRIAL AND SOCIAL
SYSTEMS ACCOMPLISHED IN
THE PAST 20 YEARS.

In Hearst's Magazine | picture a
Rip Van Wrinkle workman opening
his eyes after a sleep of a quarter of
a century or less says b. c. Forbes in
the New York American. There is
so much discomfort. SO much pessi-
mism hanging like a black pail over
the land today that it may not be
untimely to reproduce an extract
here:
Picture in your mind a Rip Van
Wrinkle workman opening his eyes on
the world of today after a sleep of a
quarter of a century or less. What
would strike him? Would he be able
to believe his eyes?
When he fell asleep-say twenty
five years ago-he and his class
were shaving from early morning to
darkness every day, with no thought
of half-holidays or fortnight yaca-
tions. They live in houses that
were. outwardly, novels and enriched
with no bathrooms, no hot-and-eold
water systems, no hygienic con
triyances such as we know today.
The world beyond a few miles from
their doorsteps was an unopened
book; travel for sightseeing vas I'M
known. Places of amusement were
few and far between. and the ordin-
airy worker seldom had either the
time or the money TO patronize them.
The one problem about clothes was
how TO find enough TO I'VE naked

Education was well-nigh beyond the
reach of the poor.

HOW ORES ARE ENRICHED

STEAM SHOVEL STRIKES ORE.

Gold. real yellow gold, pay dirt,
like which set forty-niners wild with
excitement. has been found in tie
Southern Pacific gravel pit at Cor
the Southern Pacific Press Bureau
And the men on the job have lost no
time in using their spare hours to
annex snug little sums to their regu-
lar wages.
The fun began when the huge
steam shovel ran into an old river
channel. The Southern Pacific gets
its material for ballasting the right
of way at Cordova. and loads the
gravel into freight ears with a steam
shovel. One day. as the bucket tip
ped over with its load, a workman
saw something CLINT in the sunshine.
He passed the word along to his fell
lows, and since then every pick and
shovel and pan in the neighborhood
has been pressed into service, until
the place looks like a pioneer mining
camp.
Cordova is in the heart of the gold
dredger region. ear Folsom. Years
ago, the surface was scratched by
placer miners and washed with hy-
draulic Jets. Then 1t was abandoned
because there were more attractive
fields elsewhere. With the invention
of dredgers. that could work cheap
ly and profitably for a small proper
ton of mineral, attention was again
directed to the district. In 1912, in
all the dredger fields of the state
something like $4,000. 900 was ex-
tracted. The industry flourishes
around Folsom and Oroville and in
Trinity and Shasta counties.
The railroad company is not OBJ
jecting to its employees getting their
share of this richness and 1t Is said
that jobs in the steam shovel gang
are new at a premium. Only. T. H..
Williams, assistant division superin-
tendent of the Southern Pacific,
could understand for a long time
what made his men so unusually in
d%ustrious, especially after work
when they were supposed to be so
tired and worn out.

ed and carried by percolating rain
water down into the earth. These
metal charged solutions, coming into
contact with the sulphide minerals in
the rocks, have the chemical property
of transforming these sulphides into
others more valuable to man. Thus
solutions carrying copper, and coming
into contact with pyrite, which is a
mineral compound of sulphur and
iron, abstract some of the iron and
leave copper in its place. The bright
yellow, beautiful but generally use-
less pyrite may be changed, for tx
ample, to the less brilliant dark gray
but for more valuable mineral chal-
%cocite, a sulphide of copper. This
natural chemical concentration,
whereby, as the exposed upper por-
ton Of an ore body decays and is re-
moved by erosion, its valuable con-
%stituents are in large part carried
down and added to the portion that
remains, is an exceptionally impor-
tant process and one that has played
an essential part in the formation of
many large and highly productive
bodies of ore.
Growing recognition of the over
whelming importance of enrichment
in the formation of some of the lar
gest copper deposits of the
world dates from the year 1900 and
is due chiefly to the work of Ameri-
can biologists. A recent publication
of the United States Geological Sur
vey bulletin 529) entitled 1.-The En-
richment of Sulphide Ores" by w.
Fl. Emmons. is devoted to the de-
scription and discussion of this pro-
cess. The volume, which is intended
to bring together all the information
at present available on downward sui
phide enrichment, is divisible into
parts. The first part deals with the
various conditions, such as climate
and ~porosity of the rocks, hat in
%fiuence the process and with the ply
steal and chemical principles %involv-
ed. The second part reviews briefly
the available knowledge of North
American mining districts in so far as
this knowledge bears on the problems
of enrichment. The chemistry of en-
richment is very fully discussed in
connection with the various minerals
found in ore deposits, and the stud
ents of ore deposition will find the
book invaluable as a summary of
what is known on the particular sub
ject treated and as a guide to the
literature that relates to it.
The present publication, like
Clarke's Data of Geochemistry."
Bulletin 491 of the U. S. Geological
Survey, illustrates the effort now be-
ing made by the Survey to bring to-
gether, for convenient reference by
busy men data, now scattered not only
through its own reports but in other
publications also. Such volumes,
however, are not mere compilations.
The previously published materials is
enriched by new observations and is
illustrated by discussion in the light
of the latest scientific knowledge.

Young Julius Is an enthusiast on
the subject Of the canal, and he
knows more about It than the ma

eyes and ears during his trip through
the canal zone, for he can tell just
how the land lies, how the great
gates are constructed and what pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
accident and eliminate danger.

canal to number of his school mates.
He demonstrated that he knows his
subject thoroughly and has inherited
much of the ability of his father to
present a matter convincingly and
