A. ID. L., Atlanta, Ga.-The new

have surprise indications that are
promising, and some of the ore

the extent of the enriched area or
whether the ore persists at depth.

TOM MURPHY LEASE
MAKES GOOD STRIKE

The Tonopah gold belt is coming
to the front very rapidly with strikes
of richness and strength that infuse
new fire into late leasers who have
been plugging away steadily without
getting results. On the Thomas D.
Murphy lease, just below the crest
of the hill, marked by the huge out
cropping at a depth of Is feet there
was opened yesterday a pay streak
at the rate of $50 to $50. This was
encountered with the last shot Sat-
urday night and the next shot yes
terday afternoon showed the ledge
to be widening without any appar-
ent diminution of values. The ledge
is a solid body of hermatite and the
value runs all the way from three
ounces to $3.50. Interested with
Murphy are Bob Murto and George
Allen. The ledge is dipping to the
west at an angle of 60 degrees. The
Gingles lease opened last night eight
inches of an apparently strong vein.

Read the Statute

Apropos of our understanding that in the columns of a later issue
of the Tribune will appear advertisements for bids for the construction
of roads contemplated under the road bond ISSUE recently voted upon.
we are moved to say that the Tribune has always advocated good roads.
1t also advocated the bond Issue, notwithstanding the fact that its adj
vocacy invited criticism from some quarters on the ground that large
sums of money such as this re seldom expended iudciousy. The
Tribune. however, satisfied itself that IN this instance it was the dis
position of the county authorities to make their disbursements with
business prudence to make every dollar tell to the best advantage of
the county and one of the considerations which particularly bespoke
our support of the bond issue was the fact that the law required all
such work exceeding $500 in cost to be contracted.
In view of the imminence of the county election this was an inn

In commenting upon the awakening of the Latin American coun-
tries to the great possibilities that are in store for them through the
development of their natural resources, as evidenced by the railway
construction work in progress in various sections, the Mining and En-
gineering World, in its current issue, calls the attention of prospectors
and mining men to the dangers and annoyances of the tropics. The
article says:
In tropical America, particularly in the low sections where trouble
some insects. snakes and diseases thrive, the miner is beset with many
dangers and annoyances. Mosquitoes of the tropics are disease car
rgs and dreaded tropical fevers may follow their bites. But the
mosquito is not the only insect pest of the tropics. Gnats and flies
ranging almost microscopic up to the troublesome deer fly of Central
America, not only annoy, but the bite of some species is very poisonous
and the soresc caused by them, unless we'll cared for, often result fatally
There are several varieties of ants that do not neglect their opportunity
in tormenting human beings. The scorpion and tarantua are common
everywhere in the tropics, but with care they can be easily avoided
Poisonous snakes, too, are a constant cause for anxiety.
Warm, humid climates are ideal breeding places for many tropical
diseases, including malaria, yellow, and other fevers, and dysentery.
Prospectors and mining men who venture into the tropics should
know in advance that they will encounter all these trials and many 9th
.es. They must be their own doctors. as their business will take them
from centers of civilization where medical treatment is not obtainable

portant consideration with us, as the temptation to farm the work out
by the day to the faithful is almost irresistible. We would incline to the
conclusion, from the fact that the county authorities will request bids
on road work, that they are showing the disposition to comply strictly
with the law. Having advocated the bond issue the Tribune feels a
measure of responsibility to the community, and som time before the
general election we will take the liberty of asking the highway COM
mssioners to furnish the public with specific information as to the pro-
.gress of the work, the details of disbursements, and the results OBJ
tanned. The highway commissioners having pledged themselves to
perform this work in strict conformity to the law will doubtless be glad
to avail themselves of the opportunity 10 furnish a full exhibit to the
public of their stewardship.
We are moved to make this suggestion for the reason that we have
observed considerable road work in progress, and until this time we
have not known of any work being contracted. Fortunately, it will be
easy for the highway commissioners to plan their work in conformity
with the law since the statute is exceptionally clear both in respect of
its definitions of what constitutes road work, and the manner in which
such work shall be conducted. The Tribune respectfully suggests to
the highway commissioners that before proceeding further they take
early occasion to again scrutinize the statute, in order that they may not
overlook some of its important provisions.

SAVING Sailors, Hearing.

Various ways have been devised of
neutralizing the unpleasant effects
when big guns are fired. One is by
keeping the mouth open in order to
equalize the air pressure on both sides
of the ear drum. Some naval officers
think it helpful to chew on tooth
picks or to hold a piece of rubber be-
tween the teeth. In the Japanese navy
the surgeons give the gun crews bits
of absorbent cotton with which to
plug their ears. The British navy
recommends the use of an ear plug
composed of plasticene and cotton
wool. This is close-fitting, and while
reducing the intensity of sound, does
not prevent hearing.

Makinu Artificial Furs.

Away up in the frozen regions of the
North, where some of the finest furs
are found, the work of manufacturing
artificial furs is carried on as well
as in more southern places to which
the natural skins are shipped.
The skins with the fur are frozen,
shaved off and thawed and immedi.
ately put through the necessary tan
ming process to make leather.
The frozen furs are thawed slightly,
permitting the points of the fur
shaved from the skin to protrude from
the ice. 6& E
A solution of rubber is then applied,
and when it is thoroughly set it is
so we'll held together chat it is PRO
nounced even better than tie real
skins, as they are stronger and are
immune from moth.
The process enables some kinds Of
fur to be sold at lower price than if
the skin was tanned with the fur.
