VALUE OF GOLD.
While That Is Fixed, Its Price Is Regu
lated by Premiums.

While That Is Fixed, Its Price Is Regu-
lated by Premiums.
Gold is not considered a commodity
in the ordinary sense Of the term, but
is the basis on which the values of
commodities are determined. It's value
does not %nuctuate, but is universally
fixed at $20.66 % ounce or it's equiya-
lent. Its price, however, luctuates, as
in the case Of premiums. Its value is
stationary; hence the term premium.
The difference between the %fuctuation
of that and the purchasing power Of
gold may be simply illustrated as fol-
lows:
That while it's value remains station
airy q premium would serve to reduce
it's purchasing power, to be added to its
cost, but an advance in the price of
commodities would operate to reduce
the purchasing price Of gold, taking 81
as Il unit.
For. instance, q dollar will purchase
an article whose price comedies. but
if an advance in the commodity raises
the price of that particular article to
$1.1O the purchasing power of gold
would necessarily be reduced proper
tionately. Or, again, in times of ad.
versity, commodities are cheap. the
supply invariably exceeding the de
mand, the purchasing power Of gold
would then be greater than in times of
prosperity, when the supply does not
meet the demand and higher prices fo1
commodities result.
There is no difference in the cost OF
a pennyweight of gold today from
what it was ten years or more ago.

YELLOWSTONE PARK.

Early Stories of Its Amazing Sights
Were Mot Believed.
The first recorded visit to Yellow
store park was made by John Golfer in
1SlG. He was a trapper and adven
turer who took refuge there from hos
tile Indians. His story of its wonders
was d%iscredited, The next recorded
visit was by a trapper named Joseph
Meek in 1920, who described it as "a
country smoking with vapor from boil
ing springs and burning with gases is
suing from small craters." From some
of these c~raters, he said, ISSUED blue
fame and molten brimstone,' which.
of course, was not true, though doubt
less Meek fully believed it to be the
truth.
Between 1880 and 1910 Warren An
gus Ferris. a clerk in the American
Fur company. wrote the first descrip-
ton of the Firehole Geyser basin, but
it was not until 1852 that the geyser
district was actually defined and the
geysers precisely located. This was
done by Father de Smet, the famous
Jesuit missionary.
1t remained for a government eXpe.
dition, sent u in 1859 under command
of Captain w. f. Reynolds, to first
really explore and chart the region
Several private explorers followed, but
so great was public incredulity as to
the marvels they described that they
did moi dare tell their experiences be
fore any general audiences.
The large exploring expedition under
Governor Henry ID. Washburn. sur,
veyor general of Montana, in 1870
finally established the facts to the pub
lie belief and led TO the creation of the
Yellowstone National park.

CANDY BOOSTS FOR
LITTLE BEND PROJECT

Washington, June Ia. -Congressman
Harry l.. Candy of the Third South
Dakota district, is devoting much at
tention to the efforts that are being
made in South Dakota to induce con-
gress and the president to locate the
proposed $12, 600, 900 government nitrate
plant on the Little Bend of the Missouri
near Pierre.
The congressman has been working
indefatigably on the proposition ever
since the plan of building a government
plant was originated, and has gotten
together a vast amount of data show
ing the amount of power it is possible
to develop at Little Bend at a compare
lively small cost when the expense of
developing similar projects IN other
parts of the country is considered, In
asmuch as the power must be developed
in some fashion, some where in the
country, when the government plant is
constructed, the congressman contends
that the South Dakota location is an
ideal one, and he is producing the facts
to prove his case.
Already great progress has been
made in the work of getting congress
interested in the Little Bend plan, and
Congressman Candy is very hopeful of
the outcome.

fHE MAKING OF TUNNELS.
An Industry That Is Almost as Old as
the World Itself.

the World Itself.
While tunneling is among the most
ancient of enterprises, yet more prog
ress has been made in it the last cen
fury than in the twenty centuries
which preceded it. 1t is now known
that back in the semi-mythical days
of the Theban kings the long tunnel
into the mountain rock, expanding at
a distance Of 400 feet or so into some
lofty chamber, was a common work of
princes. The rock temples of Nubla,
too, and of India show that III certain
matters, at any rate, moderns may
still learn from ancients.
Then again in Algeria, Switzerland.
wherever the Romans went, are to
be found tunnels of all kinds and de-
signed for all purposes, for roads and
drains and water supplies. Pliny
makes mention of n notable achieve
ment, the greatest of its kind in his
day. the great tunnel constructed for
the drainage of Lake Fucino. 1t was
by far the longest artificial tunnel in
the world at that time. More than
three and a half miles long, it was
driven under Monte Salviano snd re-
quired for its construction shafts of
no less than 400 feet. Some 10000
men were employed on it for eleven
years.
From the time Of the Romans until
the latter end of the eighteenth cen
fury no great advance was made in
tunneling methods. Old engrayings of
mining work in the early years of the
seventeenth century show the pickax
or hammer and chisel as still the chief
tools employed. With the advent of
the railway, however, tunneling be
came one Of the grand necessities of
construction, and progress wcs more
rapid.
