Mine a Mile Deep.

The deepest mine-gold or of any
other metals located in Brazil 1t
is near place bearing the name of
Villa Nova de Lima, in the State of
Minas Geraes, about $50 miles north
of Rio de Janeiro. II has been work.
ed more than 80 years. The COM
bined depths of the connected shafts
give total of 1924 feet. In other
words, here is a gold mine that is be-
ing worked at depth of more than a
mile below the surface of the earth.
Now, be it remembered, that the rock
temperatures increase as the earth
crust is penetrated, in some regions
the increase being as much as de-
gree Fahrenheit for each so to 60 feet
increase in depth. AT this rate the
temperature at the bottom of this
mine would be over 100 degrees high
err than at the surface and fried ham
and eggs might be prepared for the
miners without any other heating APP
paratus than the loose rocks lying
about incidentally the miners would
be going through the frying process
too. Fortunately, however, in this
mine the rate of increase temperature
is only degree for every 100 to 100
feet, giving the rocks a temperature
of only 112- degrees. By forcing
cooled air down into the mine by
means of fans the temperature is low
cred to little less than 100 degrees.
Even at that it is rather snug. Still,
the mine has produced total of about
$50, 100000 worth of gold, and is
being worked now at a profit of some
thing over $7OO,OOO annually.

Fear View Of Duet Box.

size, two-light sash is cheap, and pro-
vides sufficient light to make the wal.
low attractive. The top should slope
somewhat, so it win shed water, and
should be covered with roofing paper
The rear side of the box. next to the
poultry house, is also removed, with
the exception of a single board eight
inches high at the bottom, which holds
in the busting material. On each side
Of the box, directly under the roof,
poultry netting is used to cover the
opening caused by the slope. The free
tends to settle the dust.
The opening leading from the house
to the wallow is covered with a piece
of muslin which is slit in the middle.
This keeps the dust from coming into
the house.
The busting material used in the
box is worthy of mention. Three parts
sand, one part land plaster or gypsum
and a quart of lice powder will be
found effective. A good recipe for
lice powder is as follows:
Place two and one-half pounds Of
plaster of paris in pan. Then mix
together three-fourths of a pint Of
gasoline and one-fourth of a pint of 95
per cent crude carbolic acid. Stir the
plaster of paris while you add the
liquid When thoroughly mixed the
material should be rather crumbly. It
should then be dried and sifted, when
II is ready for use. Keep in a tight
can or jar.

SANITARY MILK PLANT
Cleanliness often Overlooked in
Rush of Business.
Score Gard Used by Dairy inspectors
Should Be Posted Where II Can
Be Easily Seen by Employees
Avoid Strainers.

During the rush of business the i'm
portance of cleanliness in the milk
plant is often temporarily overlooked.
AS reminder of points often neglect
ed in this way. a score card, such as
Is used by dairy inspectors in scoring
city milk plants, should be posted
where II can be easily seen by the
employees who. by studying it, can
learn wherein they are lacking, from
the inspectors point of view. The
dairy division of the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the United States de-
partment of agriculture will send a
sample score card on request.
Many of the items on the card are
self-explanatory, but there are some
details in milk-plant sanitation which
are not given on any score card. If
the floors, walls and ceiling are
smooth and are made of sound and
durable materials, they may be easily
kept free from dirt and dust. Con-
crete floors are very satisfactory, for
they can be flushed often with wa
ter, there is no danger of rotting, and
If properly constructed there will be
no cracks in which dirt can collect.
Iron plates laid in cement are sani-
tary and are more durable than con-
crete.
A separate room for handling the
milk apart from all other operations
is essential and all doors must be kept
closed to exclude flies and impure air.
1t is better to provide pure air by
means of modern system of ventila-
ton. Even when the air is pure, the

A Soldiers Unique Will.

A French soldier fighting in the
Argonne has Just inherited an estate
valued at $4,000 from an eccentric
army officer, who lives nthe soldiers
native village. The only condition
attached to the legacy is that the
soldier must, from time to time, visit
the grave of his benefactor and relate
there some of his war experiences.
The will says:
Being without family leave the
whole of my fortune to Paul Cambon,
farmer. desire thus to show my
gratitude to him for having for many
years listened patiently and with ev-
cry air of interest to the stories used
to tell Of the War of 1870 trust
that he will be spared to return to the
village after the present war, and my
only request to him is that he come
occasionally to my tomb and there re-
late some of his own war expert
ences."

Tank for Storing Milk.

prevent all unnecessary contact with
the air.
The milk must be kept cool after it
is received at the plant, and not be
allowed to stand long before bottling.
If not used at once the cans should
be put into refrigerator. or the milk
stored in tanks made for this purpose
These tanks must be. in a cool place
or be surrounded with a jacket of ice
water or brine. Strainers or cheese
cloth are more satisfactory and more
easily cleaned than those of wire
gauze, but the use of strainers of any
kind should be avoided as much las
possible. Some dealers strain the
milk after 1t is pasteurized before it
is run into the filter. This may in

Covered MIX Pail.

The pumps and pipes can be rinsed
by pumping water through them i'm
mediately after using. They must
then be taken down and thoroughly
washed; this can easily be done il
there are several couplings in the
pipes. All joints and couplings must
be kept tight and free from dirt, rust
and corrosion. Battered and rusty
apparatus or cans afford good lodging
places for bacteria and, being hard
to clean. should not be used.
The pasteurizer is one of the most
difficult pieces of machinery to keep
clean, as the milk sometimes sticks
to the sides and, If not properly
cleaned, a cooked layer forms on the
inside. which grows worse each day

STRIKERS DETERMINED
Copy of Strike Order Calls for
Walkout on Labor Day.

Latest advices from Washington
state that members OF the brother
hoods, whether an emplOye on
passenger. freight or mail train is
subject to the strike order. Bro
therhood heads intimated last
week that supply trains running
to the Mexican border some pas
senger trains and possibly some
milk trains would be exempted. To
night they declared that all trains
would be tied up.
The strike order is brief. 1t is
addressed to all members of the
four brotherhoods and is signed
by the various general chairmen
and reads as follows:
"Sirs and Brothers: This is to
advise that the vote of the employ
es in train and engine service on
the eight-hour day and time and
one-half overtime proposition was
overwhelmingly in favor of strike.
Notwithstanding this, your repre-
sentatives have been unable to ef-
feet satisfactory settlement and a
strike under the laws of the re-
spective organizations becomes ef-
fective on September 4, 1916, at 7
a. m.
'Impart this information so
those interested will understand
they are to promptly obey"
Outline Duties Of Members.
Among the duties of members
set forth are these:
mo man in road service involved
in the strike will perform any SER
vice after the hour set to strike I'M
less he has already begun a trip
and has actually left the terminal.
If the train has left the terminal he
will complete the trip and deliver
the engine and train at the end of
the run, or tie up point OF tie-up
under the law, after which he will
perform no further service and will
leave the service at the appointed
time.
SO far as your legal HgnC TO
strike is concerned there is no diff
ference between q mail train and q
freight train. You have identic-
ally the same right to refuse to
perform services on mail train as
you have to refuse to perform SER
vice on freight train.
"All men on strike will keep
away from the cOmpany's property
except such men as are designated
certain duties to be performed by
the authority of the organizations.
Every man should understand
that the laws of the land must be
obeyed. Acts of violence OF any
nature will not be tolerated by the
organizations"

GENEROUS RESPONSE

Three weeks ago the request made
by this paper that subscribers re
nit what was due on subscription
met with hearty and generous re-
spouse upon the part of many,
some of them paying us glowing
compliments on the improved ap-
pearance of The Chieftain since the
installation of the Linotype, for
which the editor extends his
thanks.
However, there are still number
in arrears, all in small sums, and
The Chieftain again appeals to
them to pay what they can. 1t in
wolves much labor and expense to
send individual statements to sub
scribers, therefore this appeal is
made to you today.
