The description OF his journey
from Santa Fe on "a sharp. clear
snappy afternoon in December, 1914"
Is a classic. He walked from Espa-

ut is a struggling place with streets
that remind one OF Sam Walter

unsupported winnings and twistings.

the author draws of the byways Of

PENNY LUNCH IDEA TO
BE TRIED IN SANTA FE

Santa Fe, Dec. 16.-Penny lunches
for INDECENT children attending school
or children coming from distance,
are proposed by those who propose to
turn the domestic science equipment
Of the county schools to practical use.
TO provide food for the children
and at the same time to avoid the ap-
pearance of bestowing charity. several
associations In California and In New
York are now serving the penny
lunch" and 1t is a great success. For
one cent, bowl of hot soup, gem
erous sized sandwich and an apple
are provided. When q child has not
the accessory penny he earns II by
putting in half an hour in the school
garden in which there are hot beds
and in summer. vegetable plots, or
by washing the dishes and clearing
away the table. At present in the
Aqua Fria and other rural schools,
many children bring a MONDAY luncn
consisting of tortiilas and a pint or
quart of coffee with an occasional
piece of hard bologna. diet that con-
duces neither TO health nor to the att
tentive mind necessary Tor study.
IL Is thought that the practical use
TO which the domestic science instruc-
ton would thus be put would have Its
influence, too, in the homes. In the.
California and New York schools, not
baths and clean underclothing are
also provided Says the Los Angeles

though some of the Mexican mothers
tcarfully assert that their children Will

the experiment has been followed by
a remarkably good health record this
winter. and the children learned 70
like it. Occasionally the Woman'a

SIX YEARS SPENT
IN ALASKAN W|lOS

The conclusions reached as a re-
suit OF six years exploration in the
Yukon Tanana region, Alaska, by l..
NJ. Prindle, have been published by
the United States Geological Survey
in Bulletin 525. At first glance the
reader might be led to believe that
the results are not commensurate
with the time spent in the survey,
but it should be understood that the
area explored is nearly 5000 square
miles and hat the number of days
spent on the work was less than $50.
Considerable time was spent in in
vestigating the region adjacent to
Fairbanks, as the extensive mining
operations in that vicinity yield much
information concerning the distri-
button of the alluvial gold.
1t has been found that the placer
gold reserves of the Fairbanks dis
trict, even if only those deposits that
car be mined by methods now in use
are considered, are still very large.
There are, however, still larger de-
posits of auriferous gravels whose
content of gold is so small that they
can be proftably handled only by
improved methods of mining. These
facts and the existence within the
district of extensive a~lluvial deposits,
which have not been thoroughly pros
pected make the outlook for placer
mining in the region exceedingly
hopeful. 1t is therefore by no means
certain that the placer-mining in
dustry will continue to decline as it
has declined in the last two years. a
large expansion of the industry in
his field can be brought about only
by %lessening the operating costs
through improved means of communi-
cation.
As compared with ~alluvial mining,
the lode-mining operations have been
insignificant and have yielded no
great body of facts upon which to
base conclusions as to the persistence
of the lodes. The facts presented in
the report, however, show that the
geological conditions on the whole
appear to be favorable to the occur
renee of lode deposits and that these
are not limited to the localities near
Fairbanks which have been pros
pected.
The report contains a detailed de-
scription of the Fairbanks district by
l.. Nj. Prindle and f. j. Katz and an
account of lode mining near Fair
banks and Philip S. Smith. A copy
may be obtained free on application

MILL NEARLY COMPLETED
FOR CARRARA MINING CO.

The six-roll Chilean mill which is
being erected at Carrara by the Car
rara Mining & Milling Leasing syndi-
cate is nearly completed. Ground was
broken about December 20, on lots
purchased near the l.. V. q I. rail
road station. The mill is one of
three of the same type purchased
from the Gold Bullfrog property,
north OF Beatty and which was
son of Rhyolite. The mill proper
has about been completed and the
s~ix-roller has been set in place.
Screens and plates are now being put
in, after which the conveyor from
rock crusher to the mill is to be
erected and put in place.
First intentions We're to run the
mill by electricity, but this plan has
been changed for the present, owing
to delay in obtaining the proper mo-
tor to run the mill and rock crusher,
and it has been decided to run the
mill with a 35-horsepower gasoline
engine for the time being,
The two remaining milling plants
will be hauled to Carrara at the first
opportunity and the combined capac-
ity of the mill should then be around
fifty tons daily. The chances are that
the motive power at that time VIII
be electric in place of gasoline.
The 2OO-ton ore bin at the property
is now practically complete, as is the
ore chute leading from the bin to the
tracks running into the two lens-
es on the Bull Moose Mining COM
pany's ground and controlled by the
Leasing Syndicate. The ore bin is
located about three hundred feet be-
low the level of the tunnels and the
ore chute has been built to this level.
Several hundred feet of track and an
ore car has been already installed III
the old Schindel lease and in a few
days the ore will be rdumped in the
bin preparatory to treatment at the
mill.
At present six men are on the pay
roll of the Leasing company. Several
more men will be put OF as soon as
operations at the mill justify a great
er daily capacity than that now being
prepared. This makes the Carrara
Mining & Milling Leasing Syndicate
the second largest employer of In
Dor at Carrara, and among the larg-
OCT in tho RuIIfrOp district

HOW SHOCK FELT TO
THOSE UNDERGROUND

Inquiry of miners coming off shift
this afternoon, relative to the effects
of today's earthquake underground,
brings out some interesting sta q
ments.
Engineer Brown, stationed at TIE
2200 station of the Ophir Wine re-
ports that the shock was severe at
drifts, and a cracking noise like a
cave-in. His first thought was that
the old Slopes near the station had
started to come. He came to the
conclusion hat an earthquake had
occurred and phone to the surface at
once to ascertain if any 'amage had
been done about town.
Men working i'll the Winze report
a grinding noise, and loose rock
sluffing off. and sounds ike distant
thunder. Their first belief was that
a stope had caved somewhere, al
though there was very little vibra-
ton and very slight conclusion.
Elsewhere in the Northend mines
the shock was felt with about the
same sensations reported.
On the 1G00-foot level of the CIR.
Virginia, heavy Gx12 splitters, be
tween two tunnel sets, We're brok I
off like toothpicks, but no further
breaking of timbers was found on
that level. The engineer at the sur
face felt the shock and thought at
first there was trouble on the cage.
and slowed down, until it was found
out that all was right in he main
shaft.-Virginia Chronicle.
