WHERE SCIENCE FAILS

The not unusual failure of highly
educated persons to meet a crisis with
a wisdom superior to that displayed
by 1.-The man in the streets" and the
frequent inability of the person who
lives the life intellectual to conduct
himself in transacting the business OF
every day affairs with steady common
sense and with discretion have often
been noted-to the disparagement OF
scholarly pursuits The Springfield
Republican phrases the disappointment
that has been felt generally in regard
to the attitude taken by learned men
in reference to the European war.
In our opinion the world is not justi-
fed in its disappointment because it

CHICKENS AND FLOWER GARDENS


Making a yard beautiful is not al
ways an easy thing to do even if one
spends time and money in trying to
produce artistic results. For ex-
fiower-cultivator is completely dis
couraged by the rayages made by his
neighbours chickens upon his flower
beds and vegetable plots. His neigh
bors have no fence and allow their
chickens to go where they please In
the summer time the neighbors move
to the woods and pay no attention at
all to the damages inflicted by the fowl
they leave behind them.
Unless people have an enclosure and
keep their chickens in the enclosure,
they should not be permitted to have
chickens in the city limits. Chickens
are luxury which should be denied
to all those not willing to fence in
space adequate for the needs of the
birds 1t is hardly fair to make a run
way of neighbours aster beds or rows
of lettuce
An ordinance regulating such mat
tiers would prove of little avail be-
cause the authorities could not take
the time to enforce it. But recogni-
ton of the rights of others might be
gradually instilled into even selfish
minds by an emphatic expression of
public opinion.

A Favorably Located Group of Claims
on Beaver Creek.

Adjoining the Beebe claims on the
north, upon which an important strike
was made last week and which is de-
scribed elsewhere in this issue, is the
Dewey group of six claims on Beaver
creek. A crosscut tunnel mas been
run 300 feet which is expected to cut
vein that shows about IA feet in
width on the surface, at depth of $50
or 400 feet About 80 feet remains to
be run. In driving this tunnel a small
vein has been cut which shows val
ues of and 2 per cent, respectively in
zinc and lead. The main vein Is very
promising and is located in the heart
OF a wonderfully rich mineral section.
and 1t is probable that commercial ore
will be found when the vein is reach

Opportunity for Employees of Ana
conda Comnanv

Some months ago the Miner publish
ed an extended account of a plan that
had been adopted by the Anaconda
company to provide a small tract of
ground for It's employees near the COM
|pany's great smelter where they could
live and have few acres for cultlva-
ton. The plan is now being carried
out and the opportunity offered Is be-
ing grasped by many employees, The
plan was recently described in Leslles
Weekly, and the article in condensed
form Is here reprinted, being taken
from the Mining Press;
Opportunity.
THE officers Of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company knew that the
men at Anaconda wanted an oppor-
tunty to have little farms, because
every available patch of land close to
the city was utilized, and men with
horses were getting little places, some
as far as nine and ten miles from the
smelter, and driving in and out to then
work, The company also knew that
about six miles. from town was several
thousand acres of land, some of 1t ST.
swampy that it afforded merely nest
ing place for wild ducks and a home
for muskrats, The remainder was s,
wet that 1t supported only an indl;ter
ent type Of agriculture. Here was an
opportunity to create, and 1t Appealed
strongly to the Imagination Of tho ON
GERS of the company Constructive eff
fort has converted this swamp into
garden spot. To the worker 1t spelled
opportunity, and Opportunity is the
name Of the suburb that has been butll

safeguards and precautions that may
be taken to avoid similar accidents in
the future.
Believing that frequent telling has
no effect upon most men, all bosses
have been instructed to discharge men
who do not carry out the safety-first
rules and who do not immediately
FOLLOW the orders given to them to
make their working place Safe or to
guard the lives of other men. There
have beer several cases where men
have been injured after failing to obey
orders, but these men have not been
discharged because the lesson thew
learn is regarded as sufficient for the
future.
Since the first Of the year there have
been four men discharged at the
Tramway mine for dsregarding the
safety rule in b. sting, ard two other
men were laid off for not cover
ing the chute in which they were
working. AT the Leonard mine tw, |
men were discharged for not cribbinp

they were working one man was
discharged for leaving the guard rail

VALLEY AND MOUNTAIN
HOW THEY WERE MADE
AN INTERESTING DISCUSSION OF
A SUBJECT DIFFERENT FROM
THE USUAL THEORY.

The United States geological survey
is making Investigations which not
only mean direct return of dollars and
cents to the country but also solve
numerous purely scientific problems of
indirect though large economic i'm
portance. This is shown by numerous
contributions to pure science and par
ticularly by the series of articles start
ed within the last year or two, entitled
Shorter Contributions to General
Geology" One of the latest of these
Professional Paper COX, en-
titled "The History of a Portion of
Yampa River, Colorado, and Its Pos
sible Bearing on That of a Green
River" by f. T. Hancock, just pub
lished by the survey-discusses how
Yampa river, In Colorado, and the
mountains which it crosses were
formed.
Cut Across Mountains.
The most remarkable feature of this
valley and the Green River valley, of
which it Is q tributary, is that they
completely transact high mountains. In
other mountain ranges streams rise
near the crest and flow outward, but
the Yampa and Green flow from the
outside into and across mountains.
Now, biologists have shown that most
valleys are simply enlarged gullies
which in thousands of years have been
that flow through them; also that
mountains throughout the earth have
been made first, by an upheaval of
portion of the earth's crust, and sec
ond, by this process of washing out
huge trenches or valleys across the
upheaved area. Concerning Yampa
and Green rivers, the question arises,
did they exist before the mountain
area was upheaved and was the up
heaval so gradual that they were able
to wash their valleys deeper as fast AZ
the upheaval progressed, or did the
upheaval take place long before these
rivers were formed, and were the
buried under sand and silt
before these streams acquired their
present courses?
Mountains Before Rivers.
The report referred to sets fortlI
much evidence gathered by the auth):
and others which has a bearing on
these questions, and from this evidence
it appears that the mountain range
long antedates the river valleys, and |
that it was completely buried under
great deposits of sand and silt before
Yampa river came into existence. The
evidence tends to show that when first
formed, these streams flowed across |
flat high plane under which were
buried the mountains of hard rock |
In the course of geologic ages the |
streams have washed away the SAND |
and silt from the surrounding country |
leaving the mountains Of hard rock !
standing as they are today. Becal,se
Of the unyielding nature of the rocks
In the mountains, the valleys are there
narrow and canyon-like, whereas out
side the mountains, where the materi-
ais underlying the surface were more
easily washed the valleys are broad
md the streams have slight fall II
therefore appears that the mountains
n this region are far Older than the
streams and the valleys which cnt
through them.
