The tunnel on the Bobby Burns vein
is in approximately 225 feet, with per-
haps Is feet to 60 before reaching the
intersection of the vein on which it is
beng driven with the northeast-south-
west vein known as Bobby Burns No.
4. Drifts will then be run on vein
No. to reach its intersection with
northwest-southeast vein No. 2, thence
lengthwise through Bobby Burns No.
2 claim to the triple intersection Of
veins Nos. 3, and 5. 1t is believed
that at this junction of important
veins an exceptionally large and valua-
BILE ore will be found.
Thomas A. Wetzel, consulting engi-
neer for the Arizona Chloride COM
pany, has sent blueprint to Super
intendent F. w. Jacques, indicating
the exact location of the Bobby Burns
veins, their trend and just what may
be expected from the development
work outlined.
Machinery is to be installed to re-
place handwork drilling, in the inter

of financing, and it is expected that
within a short time a sufficient treas

possibilities is the reduction of the
present heavy power costs of the
mines and mills of the county with
only power company in the field.
With hydro-power mines that are now
operating with gas or oil engines can
cheaper the costs of operation great
ly. Hydro-power should be distribut-
ed for less than $500 per horsepower
month, while at the present time it is
said to be costing from $500 to $500
with steam generated power. So gen.
eral would be the uses of this new
power that few places in the northern
part of Arizona could operate without
it. With the three dams in commits
sion a million horsepower could be
generated, and southern Utah and Ne
vada might be brought under its bene-
ficient influence. Mohave county
would surely be the one best bet in
the whole state with such power in
operation, as it would attract wide
attention of manufacturers to the pos
sibilities of its uses in lumber, leather,
smelter products and many other i'm.
portant industries.
A teaching plant was installed on a
conglomerate copper deposit near
Mineral Park a month or so ago,
which would have used the electrolyte
had it been possible to get electricity
at a reasonable price, but which has
to use iron scraps. Other plants have
had to use oil and gas power that will
sooner or later be replaced by hydro
electric power from the big river
plant. $50
A look at the picture accompanying
this article will readily afford readers
an idea of the great possibilities of
power at the point near which the
dams are to be built. The inclosing
walls rise to a height of fully 5000
feet above the river level.

Old-Fashioned Winters
-rrom ~ Harvord cowan.

From The HARTFORD CoarnW'
Despite the fixed belief Of many that fifty
or seventy-fve years ago, winter began before
Thanksgiving Day and lasted until near Las
ter, il is not difficult TO accumulate testimony
70 show that the old days brought as many
mild winters as they did severe ones. One bit
Of evidence which "Courant" man has seen
recently is a notebook kept by farmer
named Knowles. who lived at Point judith, K.
/. ard which ran from 1873 until 1880 OF
theIeabouts.
Besides being something Of d moralist, Mr.
Knowles was an obscryant man, who measured
his growing corn on July of each year and
jotted down the height Of the stalks, thus
showing whether the season had been early
OF late, and who made an entry whenever a
body washed ashore on the point, TO be given
Christian burial by the nearby farmers. So
il happened that he wrote on January /, 1899,
that he found in his stackyard that day "a
mushroom of two or three days growth and
as large as teacup." He added that the
weather had been very moderate
SO, too. in January, 1923, he noted that he
had ploughed on his farm for the greater part
Of the month and that the month was the
most moderate" one Of its name that he had
ever experienced, thus indicating that it was
more mild than January, 1893, the month in
which he found the mushroom. These two
Januaries 1t viii be seen, are sufficiently re
mote TO be we'll within the old-fashioned win
ter period and will serve to show its mythical
character. II there are still persons who
cling 70 it they are invited to produce the
dates of some killing frost which struck this
vicinity at an earlier date than that of this
month. The production OF such record
would aid in establishing the era in which
old-fashioned winters were common.

Spiritism and Orthodoxy

The periodic protest of Spiritism against
Orthodox Science is provided by II. b.
Marriott Watson in the September
"Fortnightly Review" He opens, as usual
with an arbitrary definition of the tradl-
tional scientific method Of approaching un-
familiar or unexplained phenomena, pro
ceeds to contrast this with the genial
eagerness Of Alfred Russel Wallace and
other more or less distinguished believers,
and after revelling for while in the
wonders that demand investigation" " once
more implores the orthodox to free them
selves of preconceptions and take the mat
ter up with an open mind, the aXioms con-
trolling the new inquiry to be two; a.
THAT nothing is impossible because 1t IS
incredible" and (il that nothing should
be accepted unless it is adequately proved -
Considering the second condition, The eX-
amples of what Mr.. Marriott Watson con-
ceives 10 be true candor in men of science
are not uniformly fortunate. Nor Is it
true that the other men of science have
rejected such inquiries 50 cOntemptuously
as he conceives. lie would be right in say
ing that they have generally refused to IN
vestigate the questionable phenomena on
the conditions usually laid down by the
Spiritists, but that is for the obvious rea-
son that such conditions render scientific
investigation impossible. Nine-tenths Of
the complaints against what Mr.. Mar
riott Watson calls Orthodox Science can
be accounted for on this ground.
An early example of the quarrel between
Orthodox Science and the SpiritistS was
the controversy that followed upon Fara-
days investigation of table-turning. If
Mr.. Marriott Watson will turn back to the
files of "The Times" and The Atheneum"
he will probably be amazed at the fury
with which the natural philosopher was
attacked only because he proceeded with
his inquiry on the hypothesis that he had
to deal with purely physical phenome-
mon. Table-turning is a little out of date
nowadays, and the SpiritistS themselves
agree that Faraday was justified in the
choice of his hypothesis, bat at the time
/ he was as ychemently abused as any Of
/ the orthodox men Of science to-day. II is
( perhaps not unjust to suppose that the
provoking cause Of all this abuse was that,
with the precautions suggested by Fara-
day. the table refused to move.
Though the Spritists are inclined to-day
to regard Faraday with more tolerance,
they show the same resentment as cf old
against Investigators who approach the
fashionable phenomena of our time in a
similar spirit. One Of our most celebrated
New-York tribune., 1917-10-14
One Language, One Country

Spoken and written language is not the
whole story of nationality. Switzerland
with its three languages, hangs together
with amazing success. No one has ever
defined nationality with accuracy. But
enough cases are in point TO make il clear
tc Americans that the first basis upon
which they must build their tower of a
united nation founded on a Babel Of con-
trihuting tongues is one national speech,
knowing no qualifications or exceptions.
We are glad to see that the problem Is
icing urged upon public attention by such
qualified experts as Clarence Stratton'
vice president Of the National Council Of
Teachers of English and chairman Of the
committee on American speech. SAID he
at St. Louis recently:
All the foreigners within our boundaries
are here by their own initiative; they have
chosen to live in the United States. While
they are here they should conform to our
national life; they should obey our irstitu-
tional regulations. There should be no
Ioophole of linguistic ignorance TO explain
or excuse any violation Of our laws. NO
foreign born agitator should be tolerated
FOR 3 minute 70 interfere with laws, as was
done recently in the draft registration.
The hundreds of densely populated districts
in our cities where English Is foreign
tongue should be Americanized immc-
diately.
The case Of Canada should be vivid in
every Americans mind as an example of
how alien speech keeps alive alien ideas
and alien afiiliation, however complete is
economic and governmental unity. Not
what is said in Congress or business. but
the common, everyday speech OF com
munication, of affection, of religion, OF
intimacy is the force which makes for
national character and loyalty. The old
comparison between lawmaker and poet
holds vitally true here. Let the formal
rules and restraints be what they may, so
long as the mind of everyday life Is alien
there can be no national unity Of purpose
or ideal. Such is the first moral of the
Quebec problem to-day, perhaps the most
serious flaw in the whole British imperial
structure.
American speech must be taught and
urged in every fashion possible. Our pub
lie schools must make its teaching avail
able by night AMI day. Every institu-
tional aid must urge its desirability. Be
yond such formal inculcation must come a
realization by every American that it is
part of his business and social duty to see
70 it that Every employe and acquaintance
is made to feel the national purpose, the
American idea. One speech, one country
should be our daily thought our clear ma
tional goal
