wood, for the idea is forbidding.
Sailing Material
The composition of the material used
In Sailing suggests question that we
should like to see answered by some Of
our readers. In the old days the salt
used on gold ores was usually sup
posed to be gold chloride, while for sill
yer samples the nitrate of silver was
commonly employed. However, we
hazard the suggestion that gold dust
and brittle silver sulphide in the form
of powder usually provided the arti-
fetal enrichment of samples. In dis
tricts where the gold existed In COM
bination with tellurium and in other
associated with sulphides as not to be
detachable by panning, 1t was practic-
able to use tellurides of the precious
metals for sailing On the whole, we
believe that liquid chemicals were used
rarely.
Two Sailing Cases.
! The two examples of deception quot
ed by Mr. Parish at the close of his
"reminiscences are peculiarly interest
ing. This kind of trick has been per-
petrated more often than Is generally
supposed. The most celebrated case
was that of the Chrysolte mine at
Leadville. We can record one example
from our own experience The mine
was in Boulder county; II contained
definite shoot 300 feet long that had
been worked for three levels and had
been under-cut on the fourth level,
leaving an apparent block of ground
900 by 100 feet A rise from the bot
tom level had been started In ore Tho
sampling of the bottom of the third
level was satisfactory and compared
we'll with the sampling of the back OF
the fourth level. In the bottom Of tho
third level there was 10-foot hole.
which was explained as a stump for
collecting the drainage from the slopes,
previous to the water being pumped
to the shaft In order TO test tho
DOCK OF ore between 1lie ltNtlN' 'il' i'''
was continued. Suddenly It broke
into mud and water which nearly
drowned the men Mt work, Upon in
vestigation 1t was ascertained that an
incline had been extended from the
bottom of the little stump on the third
level and by means of it the heart OF
the orebody had been extracted, with
out leaving any evidence of the fact
along the two levels. If the miners
had been drowned, the affair would
have been exposed In the courts. As
It was the owners passed the blame
to subordinate, so that legal pro-
ceedings would have failed to punish
the real culprits. That Is the way
also in most sailing cases; the re-
sponsibility cannot be traced except
by inference. We quote this last casa
to supplement those given by Mr..
Parish and to draw attention to ono
of the many pitfalls to be avoided by
the Younger members of the profess
sion. Wise men may make mistake.

the older engineers can do Is TO give
the benefit Of their experience before

REPUDIATED BY WILSON.

The Temps recently printed an inter-
view with President Wilson which NJ.
Applaud said had been granted to him
at the White House. Among the state
ments attributed to the President was
one that France must not believe that
the Presidents sympathies are against
France because his sentiments, already
expressed in letter 10 President Poin-
care, are well known.
President Wilson repudiated the inter-
view, saying that he gave no interview
that NJ. Applaud came to the White
House merely to pay his respects and
that 1t was distinctly understood in ad-
vance that there was to be no inter-
view. NJ. Applaud replied in state
ment in which he said that the text OF
the interview as published by the Temps
was correct and that he had received
bona fide authorization from President
Wilson to publish II.

Important witness Turns Up.

A witness OF great Importance in the
Barnes-Ropsevelt libel suit-one whom
process servers for Col. Rooscvelts law
yers had been unable to INA Tor SIX
months-turned up unexpectedly to-
night. He IL Gilbert c. Bishop. who was
a clerk and bookkeeper in the office OF
william Barness Journal Company for
twenty-five years and who made most OF
the entries in the books that are en-
phasized by the Roosevelt counsel AS
indicating Mr. Barnes's connection with
and personal interest In public printing
contracts.
The Barnes counsel have constantly
assured the court and the Roosevelt
lawyers that II was impossible for them
to throw clear light upon all the entries
because the general manager of the
Journal Company at the time was John
Lindsay, who is dead. and because the
bookkeeper. Bishop, could not be found.
Bishop said tonight that he had only
heard recently that the Roosevelt side
wanted him. He has not been in Mr..
Barnes's employ for two years,

ton made necessary by an expansion

far the Colonel could go in telling the
jury what led him to attack Mr., Barnes
the Jury was excused.
Mr.. Bowers at once began an argu-
ment that the defendant had a right
to tell the jury what information he
had had as to alliance between Barnes
and McCabe In Albany county politics.
Mr. Bowers's Argument.
Col. Roosevelt's lawyers contended
