IN THE
 ARCTIC CIRCLE

Dr. Moss, of the English Polar ex- petition of 1s75-77, among many other things, tells of the strange ef- fleets of extreme cold upon candles they burned. The temperature was from 95 to 50 degrees below zero, and the doctor says he was considerably discouraged when upon looking at the candle he discovered that the flame could not melt all of the tallow of the candle, but was forced to eat its way down, leaving a sort of skeleton candle standing. There was heat enough, however, to melt odd shaped holes in the thin walls of tallow, the result being beautiful lacelike cylin- der of white with a narrow tongue of yellow flame burning on the inside and sending out many streaks of light into the darkness.

WHEN LIGHTNING
 HITS THE SAND

When a bolt of lightning strikes a bed of sand it plunges downward for a distance in accordance with it's di- mensions and intensity, transforming the silica in the sand into glass and forming tube of greater or lesser dimensions. The same action is also observable when a lightning bolt strikes a rock mass, the silica on the faces or cleavage of the rock being reduced to glassy conscience. In the sand mass the tubes of glass break up and form the brilliant substances usually found in the washes through out the southwest interassociated with the ,labradorites. Some of the tubes that have been formed by the intense heat of the lightning flash are from the size of lead pencil to three or four inches in diameter. Many are quite brilliant and may be cut into semi gem stones. The greatest var iety of these brilliants are found son Little Arrarat, in Armenia, where they are cut and sold to visitors as gems. Some of these rocks are soft and porous and the cavities are filled with the glass, which usually is of the bottle green variety and spark lingly beautiful.

WARD H0N0RED BY
 COL0RADODEMOCRATS

The following article taken from the report covering the State Demo- cratic Convention at Denver,s Colo ,rado, appeared in the Rocky Mountain News of Denver, Colorado, Tuesday, August the 1st, 1922.
 Olney Newell of Denver, introduced a special resolution to be forwarded to Honorable Chas. B. Ward, formerly of Boulder, state senator, former Dem- ocratic Chairman, and one of the most popular Democrats in the State, who moved to Arizona twelve years ago and is now candidate for Governor. The resolution follows:
 Resolved that the Democrats of Colorado in state assembly convened send greetings to Honorable Chas. B. Ward and the Democrats of Arizona and express their great satisfaction that he has been designated to lead the Democracy of the state in this campaign. Loved and honored by the Democracy of: Colorado, he is entitled to the confidence and support of all citizens of his adopted state who: would have as their chief executive Jeffersonian Democrat and honest man." ..:..~,.r "" -..a :.
 This expression from the Democrats of Colorado can leave no doubt as to the character and ability of MT. Ward, and the esteem and respect which the people of Colorado have for him.

ANOTHER CLEANUP
 FROM THE ORPHAN

Wednesday last Olson and Van Dover made a cleanup of their mill at Secret. Pass, the result being big chunk of analgam, the value of which has not been ascertained. The men have been breaking down the ore in a glory hole and tramming the ore to the mill through a tunnel. This ore will average above $15 per ton. It is proposed that the shaft to the east of the main workings be equipped and the ore in that part of the mine be milled. This ore is high grade, as- says as high as SIS having been ob- tained from the shaft. A drift has been driven across 25 feet of ore from the bottom of this shaft, but owing to lack of equipment the ore was slowed in the drifts and will have to be hoist ed to the surface before further work is carried on there. This ore is said to be the best in the mine, having an average value above $20 for the whole width. At this point the vein is fully 50 feet wide.
 Secret Pass is one of the most ideal places in the San Francisco district for mine operation, being easily ac- cessable, roads having been carried in to the various mines. While these roads are not exceptionally good it would require little work to make them boulevards. The gradients through the mountain masses are low and the washes wide, so that the present roads could readily follow the low places without the necessity of much roadwork. The whole country is gridironed with mineral veins, many of which are large and extensive.

 APPRECIATED

At an expense running into consid- erable money the Miner has kept its readers advised of the strike situation the past week. Though much of the news in general is not very satisfac- tory, what we have been able to get has been much appreciated apparent ly judging from statemens volunteer ed by some of our readers, lespecially so for the days when we were not able to get any papers whatsoever.
 As the papers are coming more reg ularly now we will soon discontinue the bulletin service. We have been glad to serve you in this respect. N

NEWS FROM CHLORIDE

Mrs. L. G. Williams left today to join her husband in Randsberg, Cal.
 D. H. Burhard has returned from Oatman, where he has been for the past several weeks. He says it seems cool here in comparison.
 A. B. Richmond arrived in town yes terday. Mir. Richmond is making a deal on one of the properties controlled by w. H. Hall, and, we understand, he expects to do some work in the near future.
 One of the parties interested in the Red Gap told us recently that we might safely look for some big work to be done there this fall and winter.
 A great many of the Chloride folks have been going over to Kingman late- ly to try to get some reasonable solu- tion on school questions. A number of children here are ready for ninth and tenth grade work, but owing to lack of dormatory and other facil- lties, because of heavy expense, as things now are, even if accommodations could be found for pupils, and there being no adequate means of transpor- tation back and forth, it would seem that some way should be found to give ninth and tenth grade pupils this work at the home schools until such time as Kingman shall be in shape to provide the necessary facilities for outside pupils. Word having come that Oatman is making arrangements to give its children this work at home,' Chloride parents at once be- stirred themselves to try and discover how they: were going ;tto manage it and see if it were not possible to ob- tain the same advantages for this dis trict. -,
 Where there is will there is al- ways way to accomplish good things and, if the good people of the county will get together with the officials and only ask for justice-what is fair and right-in the interests of educa- tion, we believe the officials, having the education of our children at heart, will find some way to extend the fa- cilities desired so that no child in the county, who desires to take the work, will have to go without it.
 Sam Rhea is making a shipment of ore from his property, but, on account of the strike, the car will remain here week longer than was expected.
 Jess Acord has gone to Osdick, Cal.
 Frank Hodge is back again, having gone to Kingman with a very bad hand. He says the hand is getting all right again.

Around The Town

Miss Katherine Lorig was over from Chloride Tuesday last attending to im-
 portant business affairs. She reports
 that force of men are now at work
 on the old Jumbo claim, in the Min
 nesota district and that considerable
 development is contemplated. The
 principal men of the operating com pany are expected in Kingman in a few days and will make visit to the
 mines. S. D. Myers is experimenting the work and is sure to get good re-
 suits. The property is a most invit- ing one.
 The Old Fashioned dance held at Odd Fellows Hall Saturday night was attended by large crowd. The young folks as well as the older ones, en-
 joyed the old fashioned dances. The music was furnished by the Waters Orchestra and it may be safely said the early day orchestra had nothing on this ore, as Mrs. Waters had care fully selected the music for the pleas ure of both young and old. By re- quest, Mi. Chas. linus and Mrs. Rte played for the square dance. All who attended voted it one of the best given in Kingman, and already requests are being made for another one, which will be given in the near future. Last Tuesday a large delegation of Chloride people appeared before the board of supervisors for the purpose of securing funds to make possible the employment of a teacher for eighth, ninth and tenth grade work. There are eight children who have been grad uated into the high school work and these would be benefited by the em- ployment of high school teacher. It is possible that some arrangement will be made to take care of these children at both Oatman and Chlo- ride for this year and in future some means will be developed for the es- tablishment of a dormitory at King man and the children brought in here to take the high school course.

CHAPTER XIV

Fairchild did not hesitate. Scrap
ing the watery conglomeratiOn into
tobacco can, he threw on his coat
and ran for the shaft. Then he
pulled himself up singing, and dived
into the fresh-made drifts of a new
storm as he started toward town ;
nor did he stop to investigate the fast
fading footprints Of some one who
evidently had passed the mine a short
time before
Into town and through it to the
scrambling buildings Of the Sampler.
where the main products of the mines
of Ohadi found their way before 60
ing to the smelter. There he swung
wide the door and turned to the little
room on the left. the sanctum of a
white-haired, almost tOttering old man
who wandered about among his test
tubes and buttons as he figured out
the various weights and values of the
ores as the samples were brought to
him from the dirty, dusty, bin-filled
rooms of the Sampler proper A queer
light came into the old fellows eyes
as he looked into those of Robert
Fairchild.
Don't get 'em too hight" he ad-
monished. Fairchild stared.
"What?"
Hopes. I've seen many a fellow
come in just like you. I've been here
thirty year. They call me Old Under
taker Chastine!''
Fairchild laughed.
But I'm hoping"
yep, Son" Undertaken Chastine
looked over his glasses. You're just
like all the rest. You're hoping. Trot
'er out and let the old Undertaken
have look at 'er."
Sobered now, Fairchild reached for
his tobacco can, which had been
stuffed full of every scrap of slime
that he and AIRY had been able to
drag from the powder hole. Evident
ly, his drill had been in the ore, what
ever it was, for some time before he
realized it; the can was heavy, ex-
ceedngly heavy, giving evidence of
purity of something at least. But I'm
dertaker Chastine shook his head
Cant tell" he announced. Feels
heavy, looks black and all that. But
it might not be anything but straight
lead with a sprinkling of silver. And
then again"
He began to tinker about with his
pottery. He dragged out a scoop from
somewhere and prepared various
white powders Then he turned to
the furnace, with its high-chimneyed
draft, and filled a container with the
contents of the tobacco can.
Let 'er roast. Son." he announced
"That's the only way. Let 'er roast
and while it's getting hot, well, you
Just cool your heels"
Long waiting-while the eccentric
old assayer told doleful tales Of other
days tales of other men who had
rushed in, just like Fairchild, with
their sample of ore, only to depart
with the knowledge that they We're
no richer than before, days when the
news of the characterization of silver
swooped down upon the little town
like some black tornado, closing down
