The Lyceum Chorus meets this evening at eight o'clock for re- hearsal in Firemen's Hall. It is singing practice to put on for one or two evenings this spring, musi- cal entertainment of the nature If the production of year ago, and an entertainment that will merit credit to those participating. Talent is abundant in Ketchikan, and only the will to do is nece ssar.' to make t.c entertainment highly successful.
 This Chorus number is condusted ,.n!cr t!.c auspices of the ketchikan .,c-um, whose membership is writ ten only Tn the intere,s Ket hakan riti trs take in Ketch'kar enter tai. me t.
 The q .;ect of the Ketchikan I.y- ccum is to make and to ,,ct. kct- chikan entertainment that will be fosd fer thought and food for talk, other than the natural Mdther Grund;' proclivities of humans the world over, prone to wander. That object s erits unanim us support.
 There are some thirty singers re- hearsing at present for this Chorus production But there is citizen talent whose light is still under a basket, for reasons in some cases real, and in other cases fancied.
 It hardly becomes the town to allow this Ketchikan Lyceum. with it's membership and object as stat ed, to be overcome by the magni- tude of it's undertaking.

THE ORIGINE OF
 GOLD AND SILVER

Steamboat Springs, Nevada, has figured prominently in discussions of the origine of ore deposits. The waters of these springs contain the urecions metals in minute quantities and the sinter deposited by them contains several minerals that are common constituents of ores, as well as small quantities of many of the rarer metallic constituents of ore deposites, including gold and silver. Such springs, therefore, suggest that many and perhaps most ore bearing veins have been formed by hot waters rising from great depths, which have brought their metal contents up. in solution and deposited them in open spaces or fiscures in the rocks through which the waters passed, the deposition of some ores being influenced by chem ical reaction with the surrounding rock. Many ore deposits are un- doubtedly formed in other ways, for some are unquestionably of sedimentary origin and the metal content of some others has been carried down, redeposited, and con centrated by rain water that des- cended into the earth's crust, but the "hydrothermal" origin-that is, their deposition from ascending hot water-ofmany of the more valu- able ore deposits is indicated by the close. relation observed at many places between mineral veins and eruptive rocks. Thermal waters are believed to be, in part at least, given off by slowly cooling and solidifying masses of igneous rock (magma) deep within the earth.- GU. s. Geological Survey)

The carbon dioxide, according to

The carbon dioxide, according to a scientific note, is contained in a small interchangeable case, hold ing sufficient for from 100 to 800 shots, and lodged in the gun.
 Upon pulling the trigger the re- quisite amount of the gas is admit ted into the cup and propels the shot from the barrel. With small shot the gun has range of about eighty feet; with bullets range of about 130 feet.
 The number of shot which can befired depends, of course, on the bore of the gun. About 100 shots can be fired with small shot, 150 with bullet number 8, 150 with a bullet size 6 and 800 with bullet size 4.

COMMUNICATION
Mr. Editor:


 In the issue of the Progressive Miner of March 1st, 1916, the fol lowing statement is made in re- port by G. H. Action. concerning the refusal of the storekeeper at Dolomi to assist the North Cape in distress few miles from shore.
 We have two boats here-the Eurus, dismantled, boarded oyer and laid up for the winter, and the Gray, 10 H. F., in use."Eas
 There is no truth in this state ment, however. The Eurus was not tismantled for the engineer went oboard of her and turned on the switch and she was all lit up with electric lights. She was not board ed over in any respect. This point can ret be argued inasmuch as there vas no object in boarding over d tcat like that when ste was tied u, at the float. have wit hesscs that will swe,. that there were no boards over her. She was tied up at the float with three lines which could hardly be con sidered laid up. In regards to the Gray 10 H. F.: she was not in use as stated. The engineer said be- fore trying to start the engine on her that he might as well not try for it would not run, but that he could start the engine on the Eurus in a short time.
 Tn the same issue MT. Wm. 5. Boyce made the following state ment: "The opinion of the boatmen here is that the men on the Worth Cape" with their two row boats could have easily lowed the 32 it. (size given by fisherman) North Cape in themselves"
 The "boatmen" he has reference to must have been loggers or min CTS. It is needless to say that a man who knows anything about boats and tide-currents would not expect two men in rowboats to tow 32 it. boat in the swells that were on the sea that night.
 These men are both of the inn pression that I reported that there was a heavy storm that night. did not. I merely stated that there was a heavy swell rolling constant ly.
 They are trying to make it ap- pear that what I have said about my plea for help in Dolomi is not true. What could I gain by telling anything that was not true? They also try to impress upon the people that I wanted sympathy from the public. Anybody who knows me would know that I do not want anything that I am not entitled to. Help has been offered us in diff ferent ways but we are able to stand our own losses and do not want anyone to put themselves out in our behalf.
 The storekeeper knows that he could have saved the North Cape' from destruction and Mir. Hanson from the narrow escape from drowning, had he given us permissi- on to take the Eurus. This is why he is trying to conceal the truth concerning the matter, and make people believe that he did what he could do. Ketchikan, March 4.

Air guns are awkward to toad and have but little penetrating power. If it were not for this they would probably have found somewhat extensive applications for sporting purposes. There has been recently placed upon the market a gun in which compressed carbon dioxide is used as propelling agent
