THE GLAMOUR OF "MUCH GOODS"

Nothing is more wholesome, after all,
than to be reminded now and then OF the
inevitabl eness of death, and to be required
to measure our earthly ambitions and pur-
poses from the standpoint of this tremen-
dous event. The king reigns in unexampled
splendor, but there comes day when ne
is stripped of crown and sceptre and is left
with nothing to distinguish him from the
veriest beggar. The multi millionaire has
more money than he can estimate, but
sooner or later he is doomed to lose every
dollar of his fortune. The patron of art
and literature gathers his treasures from
all quarters of the globe only in the end to
surrender every book and picture to his
needless heirs or yield them to the tender
mercies of the auctioneer. All these have
gained something from the toys and baubles
of their little hour. The king has enjoyed
his brief moment of regal power, the mil
lionare has revelled in the glitter of his
gold. the connoiseur has stood enraptured
before many great canvass and handled
fondy many rare folio. But what have
they gained in the long run? What is the
permanent worth of their "much goods?''
How are they different in the end from so
many little children who gather sparkling

them home in the evening, ask that they

Ia the eternity of death, however it may
be in the fitting moments of life, it l.
things spiritual and not material which
really count. The barbarian burries food
and drink, clothing and jewelry, spear ano
shield with the body of his dead chieftain
in the confident expectation that these
things can be carried over into the grea
beyond. But this superstition is no Longer
ours. The clothing we wear, the houses
we build, the lands We buy, the money VT
invest, the jewels and pictures and brio a.
brac we accumulate-all, as we we'll know
must be surrendered at the last day witt
the body that has claimed them. Nothing
is left US but our souls. 1t is now ques

Mr.. Sherwood, general manager
of the Butte-Duluth teaching plant,
has been engaged as consulting en-
gineer by those who have in charge
the building of a similar plant for
this district. Accompanied by c. l..
Eastman, he will arrive in camp Sat-
urday or Sunday to begin his prelim-
mary examinations and investiga-
tons of the ores and ore bodies
%prepatory to drawing up the final
specifications for the proposed
plant. Mr.. Sherwood is probably
the best known and most successful!
teaching expert in the United
States, and has won countrywide
recognition for notable victories in
the field of metallurgy, not only
along the line of teaching but in the
flotatiOn method. Contact has fol.
lowed the career of Mr.. Sherwood
with interest and appreciation az
being of paramount Importance to-
ward the ultimate solution of the
problem of extracting copper from
the ores of this district.
Mr.. Sherwood is best known in
connection with Butte-Duluth at
Butte. This is a low grade copper
property which went begging for a
buyer for many years until Captain
Wolvin came along and, sensing it's
wonderful possibilities, bought the
property and put it into the capable
hands of Mr.. Sherwood to marriage.
From a moOted theory teaching has,
at the Butte-Duluth, been develop
ed into a systematic and profitable
success. 1t is currently reported
that copper is being produced at that
plant for six cents a pound when
is the low water mark for cost of
copper production and the man
chiefly responsible for the reduction
and to whom credit is mainly due
for overcoming the technical diff
culties involved in perfecting the
new method is Manaker Sherwood.

ON YUKON RIVER MADE
BY j. 5. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The Yukon river In Alaska is one
of the great rivers Of the North
American continent. A brief report
on the discharge of Yukon river at
Eagle, Alaska, by E. A. Porter, and
r. w. Davenport, has just been Is
sued by the United States geological
survey as water supply paper 345-F.
Probably few people have an ade-
quate conception of the size of this
river and characteristics of it's
flow. A. H. Brooks, of the geologi-
cal survey, gives the Yukon fifth
place among the large rivers in
North America and estimates its
drainage area at about 100000
square miles. It's length, including
the Lewes and Teslin rivers, is Civ
en- in the report at 5000 miles. This
may be compared with 5000 miles
for the Mississippi and Missouri, g.
S6S miles for the Mackenzie, 1000
Green river, and 1900 for the Ohio
combined with the Allegheny.
The discharge of the Yukon va
ries from a maximum of $4,000 to
a minimum of 10,100 cubic feet a
second. or an estimated average flow
of 1920 cubic feet. This is a re-
latively small discharge, the average
flow of the Mississippi being $685.

area of 100000 square miles. has
an average flow of 10000 cubic
feet a second. The flow of the Yu-
is therefore relatively small as
related to it's drainage area, and
this apparent anomaly is accounted
for by the fact that the interior of
Alaska has the small rainfall char
acteristic of that portion of the
United States which lies between the
Sierra Nevada and the Rocky noun
tains, north of the latitude of Salt
Lake City.
Navigation on the Yukon has so
important a bearing on ~transporta-
ton in interior Alaska that it has
given rise to a general recognition of
two seasons-the closed season,
when the Yukon is either filled
with floating ice or frozen over, and
the open season. The breakup of
the ice usually occurs about the

the inhabitants in the interior of
Alaska, but 1t presents features of
great dramatic interest at we'll. One
who has not witnessed it, accord
ing to the authors Of the survey re-
port, can hardly imagine the impress
siveness of the spectacle. From
bank to bank the surface of the riv-
er is a solid mass of huge moving
ice cakes, which are constantly
grinding and disintergrating with
an awe-inspiring exhibition of re-
s~istless force.
The freezeup is less spectacular.
With the increasing cold of the
autumn slush ice forms in the riv-
er, and as the cold becomes more in
tense the ice increases in volume un-
til finally it is sufficient to bridge
the entire stream. This means the
termination of navigation on the Yu-
kon until the following May.
The geological surveys measure
ments of stream flow near Eagle
were made during the winter at a
point about two miles above the
town, where the river is 1000 feet
wide, but cutting holes through the
ice at intervals of so feet and max
ing soundings. In this way the ex-
posed section of the river was deter
mined and the velocity of the stream
at each hole was determined by a
Price current meter. During the pc
riod of breakup discharge measure
ments were made by means of ice
floats. In the open season the flow
was determined by the same method
as on any large river.
The maximum discharge measured
in 1911 was on May %, when the
volume was $4,000 seccnd-feet.
The width of the water surface at
the measuring section was 1,645
feet, and the greatest depth of the
river was 2S.7 feet. The average
surface velocity was SIS miles an
hour.

secretary, for secretary. and Robert

treasurer.
The annual banquet is scheduled
to begin at $50 tonight at the Riv-
erside. Special invitations were or
dered SEN to Senator Francis G.
Newlands, Governor-elect Emmett ID.
Boyle and County Clerk w. A Foggs.
At the morning session it was
voted to recommend to the next leg
islature the passage of those acts of
uniform legislation already approved
by the American Bar association. A
report on the proceedings of the
American Bar association had been
given by Hugh H. Brown.
The report of the committee on
civil procedure by p. A. Hawkins,
was approved. j. A. Sanders, dis
trict attorney for Nye county, pre-
scented no report on criminal pro-
cedure, but asked united support for
bills on the subject to be presented
to the legislature.
After further discussion this
morning it was moved that the pro-
posed bill on enforcing a three year
period of preparation for the law to
be referred to the section originating
it and that the section be instructed
to draft a coure of study in lieu of
a college course. An amendment
carried to the effect that it was the
sense of the association that some
legislation raising the standard of
the legal profession be passed by the
coming legislature.
