would be finished, the second nearly
up, and the other two not started. In
this way there would be less time for
trouble. Monthly variations in the
grade of ore hoisted are apt to occur
if slopes are carried this way. but this
disadvantage is more apparent than
real since all Of the ore is ultimate
~ removed 1t is a good thing for a
lean stope to be worked alone. Rapid,
intensive mining of an area once at
tackled usually makes for efficiency.
"One further suggestions concerns
conduct Of the sections of the slopes
at the end of the ore bodies. These
sections, being at the edge of the pay
shoot are more than apt to be of
questionable grade. 1t is necessary
to remove some ground below pay to
avoid leaving some that is above. But
commendable prudence in this respect
easily grades into extravaganza in
the matter of mining too much lean
material where there is higher grade
ore to sweeten with 1t is suggested
that this difficulty may be Obviated in
some instances by driving at intervals
from the edge of the stope, short
wide raises in the plane of the vein
at such an angle with strike and dip
as makes convenient self mucking
raises. The material from these may
be treated as ore or waste according

holds the ground as well as any other
method that could be used. But no
other method has been tried and there
is no data for comparison in this par
ticIlar mine. II would be a rash I'M
dertaking for any engineer, or MINER
on the basis of a comparatively short
acquaintance with the ground, to ad-
vocatae changing to another system.
The writer certainly would not under
take to do So He believes, however,
that certain advantages inherent to
square setting would be of much as
sistance in these slopes, if it should
be demonstrated by actual trial in
some one section that there are no
peculiarities of this ground which
would counterfeit these advantages.
IN relative cost Of timber there
would appear to be a slight advan-
tage in favor of square setting. In a
2O-foot section of the stope east of
the 16 raise below 1900 level which
was agreed upon with the foreman
as an average stope for 25-foot width,
there are in place: caps averaging
10 inches in diameter, 20 posts aver
aging II inches in diameter. and SO
8 foot tagging used as sprays. Blocks
and wedges not counted. This figures
to sO9.5 cubic feet of timber of which
As cubic feet are sawn lumber In
square setting the same stOpe would
be 20 caps, "a posts and "a girts. If
all of 12-inch round timber this would
be 1884 cubic feet, but in practice the
girts would be a little undersize so
that the actual number of cubic feet
would be about the same. Where
the Slopes are wider, the caps now
used are often 1920 inches in diam
eter so that on the whole the actual
number of cubic feet used would prob
ably be about the same Under these
conditions there would be a substan-
tial saving if square sets could be
used, because the smaller timber is
cheaper is framed on top to standard
and requires very much
less labor to get into the slopes and
put in place
1.-The principal advantage that the
square setting appears to offer is
however its superior elasticity in the
matter of sudden changes of width,
offsets and possibilities for leaving
horses.
Stopping Difficulties.
There is much to be said on both
sides of this question. Mr.. Cook, the
nine foreman, who unquestionably
Knows the ground. thinks that the
small back weight and heavy side
weight would tend to buckle square
sets in the strike direction, basing
his belief on experience in the
standard and Mammoth The writer
kinks this need not be serious, pro-

the company as much as $4,000
Such a figure is only incidental in OPP
erations of this magnitude. There has
been so far, no loss of life and nc
waste of ore. The writer has discuss
ed fully with the foreman his plans
for handling this ground, and cOnsid-
ers them to be rational in cOnson-

exceptional timbermen that you are
fortunate enough to have in your
employ.
Other Caves unimportant.
sIn addition to the above described
caves in the slopes. there are four
places in the present workings where
small sloughs or caves have occurred.
One of these is at the top of the 1900
stOpe Immediately west of No. 9 raise.
A small amount of the vein fell here
but the back has been caught up
the ore removed, and normal stopping
is again in progress. In the same vi
cinity No. IL raise, which was being
driven through to the 400 level be-
gan sloughing in the back, making 1t
impossible to enter, and in a short
time, worked through to the 400
drift 1t is now being timbered down
from the top as the sloughed ore is
drawn out and thus caught up back
down to the point timbered from be-
low. Little if any extra expense or
inconvenience is involved. At c raise,
below the 1900 level, the gOuge hang
ing wall has sloughed out behind the
timbers making about -four floors of
the manway inaccessible. but the
raise is still open and is in use as
waste raise There is a small slough

teenth floor above the 400 level near
No 16 raise
1.-THE percentage of the total area
involved in these caves is about four
tenths of I per cent No loss of ore
has occurred or need occur
1.-THE rest of the mine is in fairly
good shape There is a tendency to
run drifts, where in ore, larger than
is necessary or desirable. There is
an occasional broken cap; in two or
three places COB is not quite as close
as it ought to be- timbers in the long
drifts and raises have to be frequent
ly eased and changed, but there is no
evidence of carelessness or poor
workmanship. and no danger what
ever of any wholesale caving or real
trouble. The details of timbering are
excellent; timbers are well framed,
spaced and blocked; collar braces fit;

is shown in handling the long heavy

Amendments.
RATS LEADS IN EFFORT

Quick work viii be necessary by both
the Senate and the House Of Representa-
tives if the administration amendments
to the State tax law are finally enacted,
as a result Of numerous additions In
jected when it came up for second read
ing in the Senate yesterday afternoon.
The adoption Of the amendments means
that after the passage Of the bill they
must be concurred in by the House be-
fore they go to the Governor for sigma
ture.
Two of the amendments are Of major
importance and both were introduced by
Senator Oscar Rats, Paoh, Repu olcan
floor leader and administration repre-
sentative.
PAVEs WAY FOR
OTHER INCREASES.
The first provides that country wide
horizontal increases may be ordered by
the State tax board on different classes
OF property. Heretofore increases have
been ordered either on all personal prop
erty or on all real estate, or both. IN
der the amendment any type Of prop
erty, such as household goods, live stock
farm implements, securities or any other
property, may be singled out for an in
crease.
The other major amendment provides
that business concerns in turning IN their
tax statements need not set out their
earnings nor their dividends The pro-
vision Of the present law that these facts
must be incorporated created a storm of
protest from concerns which were not
willing to make their trade affairs public.
Another amendment introduced by SEN
ator Holmes provides that bonds bearing
an interest rate up to 6 per cent may be
Issued by local authorities. but that the
tax board shall approve all bond issues
bearing more than per cent interest
This amendment may bring a large num-
Der Of bond issues before the board as

The principal provisions Of the bin
proper are that local bond issues or tax
leTies may be referred to the tax board
on petition Of ten taxpayers, and that
the tax board may convene county board
