Mines and MetaNurgy Exhibit

From all accounts the mines and metal1urgy exhibit
at the Panama-Pacific international exposition will prove
one of the most interesting things of the kind ever pre-
sented. Especially to the people of the east, who have at
best but a hay idea OF mines and mining, it should prove
an educational as we'll as a purely interesting exhibit. A
factor in this immense exhibit, says the Engineering and
Mining Journal, is the models of mines, factories, ore
docks, ore trains and steamer ore carriers. In the model
of the ore docks at Duluth, for instance, there are $4,000
separate pieces or parts. each made to an exact scale
This ore dock-the original has a loading capacity of I3,
900 tons per hour-will be shown i'll operation.
The first exhibit to attract the visitor entering the
main portal of the Palace of Mines will be the compre-
hensive display of the United States bureau of mines. 1t
will be in two sections, one a model mine beneath the floor
of the building and the other a large rectangle devoted to
metanurgy. The demonstration mine is beneath the
building and will be a faithful replica with full-size en-
tries, drifts and slopes reproduced from actual mines IN
the United States. 1t will be IN every respect a model
mine operated under modern conditions with complete rep
resentation of the most efficient machinery and the meth
DDS employed. Nentilating systems and safeguarding OF
workmen will be impressively demonstrated. Admission
to the mine will be tree and by means OF a regulation
mine cage.
In this underground mine the visitor will visit the
GOldfield Consolidated properties of Nevada in faithful
reproduction. He will see how pay ore is taken from the
Homestead; how lead and silver mining is practiced in the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan c%ompany's plant at Kellogg,
IDAHO; how copper is mined in the Copper Queen Consoli-
dated mines at Bisbee, Ariz. The bituminous coal mines
of the Pocahontas Consolidated Galleries company of
West Virginia, the Elkhorn mines of Kentucky and the
South Wyoming Coal Operators ASSOCIATION properties
will complete a comprehensive exhibit of coal mining.
Motion pictures will be provided showing certain OPP
erations that it would be impossible to actually reportray.
In addition to this exhibition mine there will be a practice
drill twice a day, showing the latest and best apparatus for
lifesaving.
We hear a great deal about Nevadas six months di-
vorce law, but not a word about a similar law in force in
Idaho. Boise looks like a white chip to the photographers.
San Francisco Chronicle: The Chronicle does not
need to sympathize with the oil prospectors who risked
their money in a contest with the executive power of
the United States government and lost. They believed
they were within the law. So did two United States
Judges and three justices of the supreme court. So, it is
safe to assume. did all the eminent counsel under whose
advice they acted. SO, we imagine, did most patriotic
citizens who believed and hoped that we were living un
der a republican form of government and not a despotism.
A majority of the justices of the supreme court, however,
have decided that the president Of the United States NAV
set aside a United States statute if congress does not pro-
test. The present generation will peaceably submit to the
decision. What some future generation may do when
some other president sets aside some other statute nobody
can foresee. They may do what the people of England did
to Charles Ia ruler as conscientious as President Taft
