THE MINING EXHIBIT IN 1915.

The Engineering and Mining Journal Of June 28th published communica- tion from Charles F.. Van BarneVeld, chief of the department of mines and metallurgy of the Panama Pacific EX- position, which is the first official call ing of the attention of mining men to this important event and their own eX- pected participation in 1t. We are go- ing to be quite frank in saying that the mining exhibits at Chicago and St. Louis were rather useless efforts and devoid of any great interest. An eXhl- bition of this kind is apt to be dreary and becomes excessively tiresome when it resolves itself into an endless array of specimens of ore The relief that is afforded by the presentation of some districts in an Illuminating way shows, however, that even this part of a min ing exhibition may be made worth while. As for the exhibition of ma chimes methods of mining and milling, metallurgical processes, etc, the op- portunity is boundIess.
 At san Francisco there will be a bet ter atmosphere than at either Chicago or St Louis San Francisco owes itself largely to the mines of California and Nevada, and it is still an important headquarters of mining men. The memories of the old days celebrated by Bret Harte and Mark Twain, the mon uments that have been left by the Com stock millionaires and the active inter ests of the present generation of mining men ought to inspire a representation of mining and metallurgy in the forth coming exposition that will be original valuable and interesting. Toward this end we urge the cooperation of mining operators in all parts of the world, and especially in all parts of North Ameri- ca, for while this exposition is to be conducted under the direct auspices of California it's scope is international. The international engineering congress, which is to be held in San Francisco in 1915. will draw professional men from all parts of the world.

SAYS NORTH TAXES ID
 STOCK BREAKFAST FOOD
J. w. Abbott, Represent ative of Alfalfa Mills Returns From ExpIoita-
 ton Trip

'The north is taking well to what it calls breakfast food for stock 2 said J. w. Abbott, who returned last night from long introductory trip through northern Arizona and Nevada in the interests of the local Arizona Alfalfa Mills
 "The ground stock food, which the company puts out is entirely new to the ranchers of most parts north of here. It iSl interesting, the way the new food stuff strikes them. Some are willing to take a chance on any thing-Once, and order a car of the ground alfalfa. Then they report back with a recorder. Many try small quantities, but these. too come back for more. This is the second and longest trip I have made north, and all l can say is, the new industry in the Salt River valley is taking hold like Wildfire even in remote parts of the state.
 Business was good in the south also It was there 1 first ran across the breakfast food phrase"
 A quiet campaign of order taking throughout the state is to be the basis of a spreading of territory. The mills are now working at capacity to fill state orders, but California, Mex ico and Nevada have been tentatively invaded by the company in search of business. Owing to lack of rain in some parts and the persistence of cold winters in others, stock food is scarce. This makes business good for the concentrated food man, and this summer he is certainly getting his share of it.
 The already strong business that  largcd according to the present plans of the company.

BUILDING A RAILROAD.
What II Means When the Contractors
aeoin Operations,

Begin Operations.
With the right of way established,
great army Of men enter into the
field. The company does not build its
own road. 1t Is turned over to contrac-
tors and Is usually let in sections of
from 200 to 300 miles.
The contractor must live up to GER
tain specifications, just as though he
were building house, and he fur
nishes everything-men. teams, ma
chinery, food and material. Few peo-
pie realize what this means. A con-
tractor must be very near to king.
For instance. there is the Hazelton
section in the mountains. It Is less
than 200 miles in length. Before a
single shovel or pick was engaged in
the building Of this section the con-
tractors had to equip themselves with
q feet of steamboats, at cost Of $780,
600. They had to build scores Of
camps at from $1,000 to $4,000 a camp
Each Of these centers had to be stock
ed with provisions, supplies and mate
rails almost before a builder was
brought in. Before these contractors
moved shovelful Of earth or fired q
single blast they had spent over &c.

Each contractors camp is like a

The Russian Frontier.

One feature in which the Russian
frontier differs from others is the COM

border of what lies beyond.
A correspondent of the Autocar says
that he called at the Automobile club
in Breslau, hoping to gain some infor-
nation. 1.-The members received me
most kindly and did all they could to
help. but explained that they never
crossed the frontier and had no first
hand knowledge. The German customs
officer, living for ten years within
yards of Russia. spoke no word Of Rus
sian, and the Russians beyond the
chain spoke no German.
There is neutral strip some three
or four yards wide between Russia
and Germany, along which many Rus
sian sentries are posted. and mounted
Cossacks pass at short intervals, rid

Hama. in Syria. says writer in the

its huge water wheels. locally known
as naura. There are four Of them,
and they are driven by the river Or.
Ontes. which flows through the town.
Each Of the wheels bears u distin.
guished name. and the visitor to the
city is made aware of their presence
long before he sees them by the creak-
ing and groaning noise which greets
his ear. At first it suggests pipe or.
gan and later brass band practicing.
The wheels are built of dark ma
hogany, which gives them at dis
tance the appearance Of iron The lar
gest Of them boasts of diameter of
seventy five feet and Is declared to be
the biggest water wheel in existence.
The naura are erected on what Is
known as the undershot principle
that is to say. they are driven by the
water striking them at their base.
They serve not only to supply the town
with water. but also irrigate the ad-
! jacent gardens.
The wheels never stop. summer or
winter, and day and night their creak.
ing and groaning are heard. In the
summer months small boys may al
ways be seen bathing in the river in
the neighborhood Of the wheels. and
for small coin they viii get in be-
