GRAVEL I HAVING BY COLD WATER

The method has been used to considerable extent in both Al ska and the Yukon Territory.
 The Bureau of Mines in announc- lns the publication of MT Janin s studies said:

It is proving of great value no the gold-mining industry of Alaska ald the Yukon Territory and is en- c@uraging investigation and explo,ta- tlon of areas of frozen gravel that mad been considered of too low grade for profitable mining.
 Gravel Thawing Methods
 "In placer mining in the Far North 6ile of the greatest difficulties en- countcred is the permanently frozen condition of the ground In the early days of mining the ground was thawed by the primitive method of building wood Aires on the surface. at the bottom of a shaft, CT at the face of drift. Although this method was slow and costly, a more effective one was not discovered until about 1898, when Ut was noticed that the steam escaping from tbe exhaust of a hcisting engine had thawed a hole in the solii muck Further experi- ments followed. and the direc, ap plication of steam through points proved so effective that 1t became the chief method atom-ed in thawme many millions of cubic yards of gravel for drift, surface mining and dredging operations.
 Tests witl hot-w2ter thawing were made at different times Expert ments tnlicatsd thnt ground could ha thawed Ly this method. bat in comparison with steam thawins the latter was generally found mora ef- feotive. At all events. no extensive thawiag with hot water was ever done.

New Method Started

About 1915 to 1917. different per sons started experiments on an en- tirHly new plan fer tAawing the hozen gravel. Water at the natural summer temperature wls applied by drilling holes through the frozen muck and gravel to bedrock and the water was allowed to find its way [ trough the gravel back to the sur face. This water was taken from surface diaches. or through pipes un- Ter pressure, or pressure was ob- aired by pumping. The results of 'hose tests were very satisfactory.
 Although there is still much to be learned regarding practical applica- 'icn of i;he method, thawing with cold water has passed the experiment al stage and is being proved of great value to the gold-mining in- dustry.
 "The successful application of>this met hod where water is obtainable un- der pressure without pumping will make large areas of so-ealled low grade ground availlable for dredging. and ground that has previously been considered to be of little or no value will now be of economic importance. Had the knowledge of this method )f thawing been available to the Yu- 'ion Gold Company and other com nanies orerating drcdges in the Far North during the past 10 years, there might have been considerable saving in costs and correspond ingly additional profit to those com panies"

LIGHT TACKLE IS
 NECESSARY FOR
 ANGLERS SUCCESS
Hiden Offers Suggestions for Fishermen to Use in the Waters of
 Alabama
By ROBERT G. HIDDEN

Selection of light tackle for bass, bream, goggle-eye and other fish that strike at artificial bait is one of the important details for success. Your average fisherman knows little about tackle. He starts out on an expedi- ton of a week or so with ten times too much, and most of it useless.
 The fish of Alabama waters, and, in fact, of southern waters generally, are taken on half a dozen varieties of flies, bucktails or minnows. have seen men change their lures every few minutes, using great variety of vari-hued stuff that would frighten off any normal, intelligent fish; and they wonder why no rises were forthcoming. They held all sorts of theories about bright lures on cloudy days or late in the after noon, and dark colors on bright days, especially in places exposed to the sun.
 Of course the character of the part of the country game fish do little striking when the water Is muddy They can see the bait only short distance. Unless it happens to be cast close to where they are they don't see it at all. Any game fish can be attracted by the proper lure a distance of 30 to 50 feet If the water is reasonably clear. On the other hand, when the water is muddy or murky the bait can be seen only few feet.

or brass or even whether there be a touch of red or yellow on one side.
 The spinner serves two purposes. First and most important t attracts the attention of the fish and ex- cites his curiosity, frequently 50 feet distant. Then he goes after the nov ing lure and innagines a choice morsel is just ahead of him. when he gets z glimpse of your fly The average fish possesses as much curiosity as village gossip of the feminine persua- sion.
 Secondly. the spinner adds just enough weight to enable the fisher man to make long and accurate casts. In lakes and other still wa ters the spinner is especially need full. Years of experience in fly-fisI,- ing have demonstrated to my satis- faction the great value of the spin ner, even though it should be scrupu- lousiJ avoided in the case of cold water troHt.

SAILOR PRINCIPAL
 IN ASSASSINATION
By Associated Press

Lisbon, January 14-A sailor, com mon-ly known as Golden Tooth" IS the principal member among the 10 persons who have been charged with participating in the assassination Of Premier Granjo and several other Portuguese statesmen in the revolu- tion which teok place on October 10.
 The sailor admits that he accom- panied the other soldiers and sailors in the raids upon the homes of the statesmen, but contends that he did SO to save the lives of those who had been chosen as victims of the revolutionaries.
 - Golden Tooth" has figured in two dramatic incidents in the course of the investigation still progressing Confronted by the son and brother of Admiral Machado Santo, founder of the Portuguese republic. and one of the assassinated men he was ac- oused by both of them as one of the most cruel and insolent of the sav- age group of men who broke into the Santos house and dragged him to his death.
 A similar scene occurred when Bertha da Maia. widow of Comman- der Carlos da Maia, another of the victims was brought face to face with this sailor in court Pointing at him. she burst into sobs and cried; There stands my husbands assas- sin. When the others hesitated, when on my knees before them, holding my baby in my arms, l implored them to spare my husbands life, that wild beast there. seeing they were inclined to mercy, shouted at them and pushed my husband into their midst. asking them if they were go ing to let live the man who had sent them to Africa four years before. And they took him away and mur- dered him..
 Among those accused of partici- patton in the outrages are Benjamin Pereira. midshipman Sergeant H ei- tor and Corporal Abel Olympic. Olynl- pic is accused of being the first 70 shoot at Admiral Santos and Com mander Maia

woMAN,s AUxILIARY

The Womens auxiliary of the le- zion met at the same time of thelle- zion meeting last night. Reports were made of work being done by the mothers, wives and sisters of the ex- service men in relieving distress among soldiers and their families.
 Reports were also made concern ing a membership campaign which will be conducted simultaneously with the legion campaign. The growth Of the local post of the Wom- ems auxiliary has been extraor- dinary. MT. Bales said that it would nave been almost impossible to have furnished as many good things fos the stranded ex-soldiers during the holidays and Nsince the opening O. the chow house if it had not been for the faithful and loyal support of the Women's auxiliary.
 1t happens that the assistant adju- tant of the legion is president of the women's Organization. This makes cooperation much easier than it otherwise would be.
 The Womens auxiliary has mapped out a rather imposing program for the year 1922. They, like the legion. use the funds of the treasury almosl entirely in the work of taking care of disabled and needy ex-servica men

USE POISON GAS ON
 DEATH WATCH BEETLE
Hv Associated Press

London, January I+.-The "death watch beetle Is being fought with poison gas in the ancient Westminster hall the scene of many memorable events in British history.
 The famous beamed roof of carved oak, dating from the year 1899. was discovered some time ago to be seri- ously menaced by the borings of wood beetles which had been breeding there for centuries.
 The first gas that was expert mented with to kill the beetles nearly proved fatal to the cleaners. Then another chemical was tried and this, it is claimed, will make the historic edifice safe for another six or seven centuries.

Mem bership Campaign

Walter Brewer. field marshal for the membership campaign which be- gins Monday morning, asks that no body call the campaign drive" He said everybody has grown weary with the word drive" and has come to feel that there is conspiracy on foot to drive people distracted.
 Field Marshal Brewer pointed out that it is a big thing for a man or woman to be eligible to membership In the American legion. He cited cases where patriotic Am erican men have said that they would be happy to give $400 or s4,o00, 10 say nothing of "a little s4.00, for membership In the American legion. Mir. Brewer spoke of the rapid growth of the le- zion in the United States and in 25 foreign countries. He said that the growth of the legion had been greater during the last 12 months than during any previous year of the lesion's history In spite of the fact that business conditions have been worse during the past year than they have been since Beniamin Harrison was President of the United States.
 The field marshal expressed him self as being greatly pleased with the attitude of the leglonnaires who have been put on the delinquent list. He says they are simply waiting for some comrade to come around anl get them to sigIh up for 1922.
