1884. The ore body consists of great
vein OF unusual persistence and regu-
larity that dips into the earth at an
angle of about As degrees 1t may be
likened to a gigantic knife blade, held
vertically and thrust into the earth at
this angle with the point still lower
than the present deepest workings.
And ii is these workings that make
the mine remarkable. The combined
depths of the connected shafts give a
total of 1924 feet. In other words,
here is a gold mine that is being
worked at depth of more than
mile below the surface of the earth.
Now. be it remembered, that the rock
temperatures increase as the earth's
crust is penetrated, in some regions
the increase being as much as one
degree +. for each so to so feet in
crease in depth. At this rate the tenn
perature at the bottom of this mine
would be over 100 degrees higher than
at the surface, and fried ham and
eggs might be prepared for the min
ers without any other heating appar-
atus than the loose rocks lying about

however, in this mine
the rate of increase of temperature is
only l degree for every 100 to 100 feet,
giving the rocks a temperature of on
ly 1l2 degrees. BY forcing cooled air
down into the mine by means of fans
the temperature is lowered to little
less than 100 degrees. Even at that
it is rather snug, and the miners usu-
ally wear only Shoes DOMINIC trous-
ers when company is expected. Still,
the shafts will be driven deeper and
the mine will be able to produce for
many years to come. 1t is being
worked now at profit of something
over 100000 annually.

THE DEMOCRATIC olNosAuR.

Bert L. Taylor creator of the fam
Gus newspaper column, Line O. Type
or Two familiar to most newspaper
readers, recently described President
Wilson as being able to think both
ways on any subject at the same time.
and in this connection referred to him
as "our political dinosaur," which re-
called the following lines written by
Mr. Taylor on the prehistoric beast:
Behold the mighty Dinosaur,
Famous in prehistoric lore
Not only for his weight and strength
But for his intellectual length.
You will observe by these remains
The creature had two sets of brains
One in his head (the usual place.,
The other at his spinal base.
Thus he could reason a priori
AS we'll as a posteriori.
No problem bothered him a bit:
lie made both head and tail of it.
So wise he was, 50 wise and solemn,
Each thought filled just a spinal
column.
If one brain found the pressure strong
1t passed a few ideas along;
If something slipped his forward mind
Twas rescued by the one behind;
And if in error he was caught
He had a saving afterthought.
AS he thought twice before he spoke
He had no judgments to revoke
For he could think, without conges-
ton,
Upon both sides of every question.
o, gaze upon this model beast,
Defunct ten million years at least

ton.
1T is following the close of the war
that the mining industry, as well as
the country generally, needs the pro-
tectiVe tariff. 1t will be needed more
than ever before in this nation to
protect us against the flood of raw
material and finished product which
the impoverished war-stricken ma
lions will export to rehabilitate them
selves financially and physically.
Democratic tariff tinkering with its
free trade features would be all that is
needed to bring about a business de-
preston which would spell ruin, not
only to the mining industry, but to
business generally"

HEAVY GUN FIRE.
How 1t Has Affected Wild Animals in
the War Zone

A German veterinary surgeon has
made some curious and interesting
observations upon the psychological
effect produced on animals by the fir
ing of the big guns. Soon after the
war, says the Popular Science Month
ly, it was noticed that large numbers
of horses and especially dogs migrated
into countries beyond the seat of hos
tilities. The wild boar, the badger,
bear, red deer and roe-buck followed,
but strange to say the hare, whose
timidity is proverbial, refused to leave
its home Birds which remained un.
frightened were owls. falcons, spar
row hawks and crows.

1t has long been contended that the
California Black Cloud mineral zone
extended west into the great mountain
on the opposite side of Black Cloud
creek, and the ground has long been
held by men who realized its great
prospective value. One of these
groups of claims thus held Is
that of the Ruth Mining company,
which Joins the California on the west
and which covers a vein of great pro-
mise judged by the surface showing
and that disclosed by open cuts. The
group consists of nine claims and frac-
tions aggregating 100 acres, and it is
stated that the vein is covered for the
length of three claims or $500 feet. The
ground has been developed intermit-
tently for a good many years. the early
work being devoted to extending an
upper tunnel about 1900 feet. This
tunnel is now caved, but it is stated
that it cut the elm, which showed
most favorable indications and con-
WINGED the management that greater
depth must be attained to find ore.

A tunnel was thereupon started at
vertical depth $50 feet below the upper,
land which is high enough above the
creek to allow for dumpage. Two
shifts are now employed driving this
tunnel, which has now been advanced
1850 feet and is expected to cut the
vein within $50 feet. The formation is
Revett quartzite and the vein where
exposed shows all the characteristics
