Sir:-It is interesting to deliberate Ever the sentiments expressed by our Two U s Senators, Brandegee and Mclean on the passage of the tariff bill. each raising his judgment to a higher plane of intellect than the ma 5ority of U. S. Senate
 Mclean characterizes the tariff bill of S6 per cent average duties as a measure passed by free traders. How wonderful his analytical and mathe- nnaticaI mind, perhaps shrouded by that wet wall of dull resistance that A<4AA hin na$1enca. that imDe11n& pub

SOME FACTS ABOUT SNAKES.
Black Snake Not so Black as He is Painted. The Adder and Others

Most boys and girls hate and fear snakes. These disagreeable feelings come from knowing so many things about snakes which aren't so. For example, boys believe that all lad ders" or spotted snakes and water snakes are venomous. There are real Iy only two poisonous snakes found in the eastern states. These are the tim Der rattlesnake. the king of the dark

AMERICAN FLAG
RAISES TONNAGE
Company Has 600 Feet of
Stopping Ground Opened on
the 100 Level.

The output of the American Flag
mine will be doubled, according to an
announcement made by Manager +. V.
Bodfish. Up TO the presen; time the
company has been marketing ouiy the
ore taken out in the course of develop
mept.
The company has 600 feet opened up
of tho shaft on the 1100-foot level.
The high grade streak averages thirty
inches in width and this shows values
Of $50 to the ton. Along with this is
nine to twelve feet OF good milling
ore, some of which can be shipped direct
at profit. The idea in starting regu-
lar stopping WAS explained by Manager
Bodfi5h this morning, who said that
they had enough ore blocked out to
warrant regular production being
made without encroaching on their ore
reserves. In fact, he expects to be able
to get moro ore In sight than is mined,
All this production will come from
the 1100-foot level rs soon as the com
nectioDs are made with the upper work
ings. These connections are TO be made
this week, and two shifts OF men will
be put on as soon rs this work is COM
pleted. 1t is expected that earnings
Of from $4,000 TO $4,000 q month can
be shown on the start off, and the
management has no fear but that this
can be maintained for an indefinite
period, while development along the ore
zone is continued TO the far extremi-
ties of the company's territory.
A lot Of ore is being settled for to-
day, which shows high values in silver
and better than SO in gold. The man
agement explains that as the silver
values have increased, there has been a
proportionate increase in the gold ore,
All this ore is stopped and the increased
production will in nowise increase the
expenses which have been incurred In
carrying on regular development work

COST PER ToN-TorAL ORE.

General-In general the development
work for the month of October did not
result In the addition of any important
ore bodies. though some OF them showed
improvements in size and value toward
the end OF the month.
Combination nllne--The development
work In the Combination yielded no pay
ore during the month. but the SOLE
and 32S-N Slopes. which are southerly
extensions OF the old Hampton stope.
were nearly doubled IN floor area during
the month.
Mohawk mine-The 1T6 drift, northerly
from the Sheets-Ish Slopes. produced 142
tons OF S6 ore. and the S-R sill In the
same territory was extended and pro-
duced fifty-two tons OF SIP ore.

level near the Oddie shaft. passed through
twenty feet of ore and produced 1875 tons
OF $40 ore. Tho 40 drift on the No 1

Mohawk shaft. was extended and pro-
duced seventeen tons OF $12 ore.
The 400 slopes below tho old S5d ore
body, were largely Increased in floor area
during the month.
Red Top Laguna-Very little develop
ment work was performed In these mines
and no discoveries Of Importance were
made.

some good assays were obtained at some
points, no ore bodies Of commercial size

Albert Burch, general manager, and
shows q net profit for tho month of

ore was extracted and treated in the

was 30,4S6 tons, the net operating costs
having been reduced to S6.11 ton,
which is regarded as highly satisfactory
in view OF the character of ore treated
No new ore bodies were opened during
the month, but tho results obtained
were normal, and large amount of
development is being done, resulting
in the opening up and exploration Of

has been explored, and development at

Government Has Established
600 Datum Points in the
State of Utah.

Prospectors and others who have oc-
casion TO take their bearings from
landmarks, frequently find 1t to their
advantage TO refer to the datum points
established by the United States geo
logical survey The survey has estab-
lished more than 600 such datum points
in the state of Utah. They are marked
in two WAYS. One form of mark is q
circular bronze or aluminium tablet
three and one-half inches in diameter
and quarter of an inch thick, having
three-juch stem, which is cemented
in d drill hole in solid rock in the wall
OF some public building, bridge abut-
ment. or other substantial masonry
structure. The second form, used whore
masonry or rock is not available, con-
sists of hollow wrought-iron post four
feet long, with the bottom spread out
TO give firm bearing on the earth. A
bronze or aluminum-bronze cap IS rive
ted over the top of the post, which is
set about three feet In the ground. At
the less important points special cop

The highest point in the state of
Utah thus far determined by the United
States geological survey is the Two

west of Gilbert peak. This point is
marked by bronze tablet. stamped

the exact elevation of the datum point
thus marked by the United States geo
logical survey is 11,429322 feet.
When nginecrs and others engaged

net elevations from which TO lay out
their plans find these bench marks or
datum points, they should communi.
cate with the United States geological
survey in order to ascertain the exact
elevations, as the figures stamped on
the bench marks are only approximate:
The survey has published a series Of
bulletins which give the elevations of
these bench marks to the thousandth

of value to those who desire to ascer-
tain the height above mean sea level
