TUNNEL VENTILATION.
Simple Method Adopted in a Mine in
Old Mexico,

Via mSNiCOs
Ventilation of underground work
ings is a problem that may be solved
in many ways, the elected method de-
pending on a number of existing con-
ditions. The ventilation of workings
reached through long tunnels, how
ever, can probably be accomplished by
no simpler means than that employ
ed in one of the older Mexican mines.
This mine was worked through a tun.
mel over mile long. To establish a
system of ventilation for reaching the
workings inside, a decided channel
was cut in the floor of tho tunnel, and
this channel was covered with flat
stone, or loza, set in cement In this
way the water conduit was made t.
serve also as an air way. The water
flow assisted in drawing out the air
Issuing from the tunnel the water
conduit was connected with a length

Leaning School Funds.

AS all revenues derived from the
state school lands comprise an ire
ducible fund, the land board carries on
an extensive loan business, which thus
allows the principal to be drawing in
terest. The loans are principally, If not
entirely, confined to land loans-loans
on improved tracts, the loan not to ex
coed one-third the value of the land
and to bear Z per cent interest, running
five years. Mr., Daggett is constantly
receiving applications for loans.
The new values applying to timber
lands suggest the extent Of the state
wealth in that line in the Clearwater
country. A rough estimate some time
ago placed the extent of the state hold
ings there at $4,000 acres. An ap-
praisement Of this timber on the basis
of the tract to be sold near Bovill
shows a gross value of $5,500,O00 indie.
pendent of the value of the land, which
put at the minimum of $40 an acre
would bring $1,75OOOO more AS the
Weyerhauser syndicate has holdings
in that district said to be as extensive
as those owned by the state, some idea
is also conveyed as to the extent Of
this idle wealth sustained by single
rporation-wealth that when once d.
verified into industrial activities will
mark the initial step of the real devel-
opment of an empire

.IOiHO'S TIMBER LAND
At HIGHER VALUATION
suRNEo-oVER TRACTS BRING A
GOOD FIGURE-APPRAlSED
AT $50 PER ACRE.

| When 1t is considered that in years
gone by the timber on state school
lands in Idaho has been sold by the
state for prices as low as $500 Sec
ton, recent operations of the state
land department suggest the losses the
permanent school endowment fund of
Idaho has met through the policy THAI
allowed for the sale of this timber be-
fore the west had developed toMuch a
point as TO create legitimate market
for the losses We're met when sales
were made purely on speculative ba-
sis, says the Lewiston Tribune. In in
stances, however, 1t can be said that
state timber had been sold at very low
appraisement where small mills be-
came Immediately employed in mar
keling 1t to the surrounding districts
and thus the step proved a necessary
development factor, but the great bulk
of the timber sales were not of this
character.
Logged off Land at $40.
The subject was called to mind by
the announcement of State Land Agent
Daggett that on December the state
land department would conduct at
Moscow a sale Of a 40-acre burned
over tract Of timber located in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Bovill The APP
praisement placed on this burned over
timber is $1,000 or $40 an acre. The
state will retain the land, which will
command at least $40 an acre when
Sold for no state land is sold for less
than that price. At the Moscow sale,
240 acres of logged off land in the Boz
Will section will also be offered, this
being appraised at so an acre. In
with timber values in that
district it is learned that the state has
recently completed the appraisement
IF the timber on a section between b.
fill and Elk river, which is to be offer
I'd for sale, with bids to be received
practically on a cash basis This tim
Der is appraised at $19,15O. A few
ears ago a section of timber. which on
he present basis would appraise $l5.-
100, was sold for $500.
Revenue From Grazing Land.
This increase in the public school
endowment assets is not limited just
o the timber lands, for even in the
natter of grazing tracts a marked
hange has occurred. A few years ago
'ut limited acreage of the grazing
reas were drawing any revenue at all,
tut the range was used without
harge. The changed condition can
'est be ILLUSTRATED perhaps by citing
he fact that State Land Agent Dag
,ett now has 10 applications for the
ease of a section of land in the Occur
'Alene reservation district. The graz
ng lands can not be leased for less
han ~ cents per acre per year, and
he leases do not extend over a period
reater than five years. In the case
f the Occur d'Alene land Mr.. Daggett
will have the applicants submit bids
nd it Is not improbable a rental as
Ugh as rs cents to 81 an acre will be
ecured
