BLIND GEORGE HALSTtAO'
GIFTED IN MANY WAYS

George Halstead of Duckwater
spent a few days meeting old friends
and renewing acquaintances at the
county seat this week.
Mr.. Halstead Is moi only a welcome
visitor and an affabie guest but Is in
many ways as remarkable as he Is
interesting. During his lifetime he
has suffered from the severe affection
of total blindness. While unable to
distinguish between the darkest hour
of the night and the bright ray OF
the MONDAY sun he travels about
without an escort and readily finds
business institutions without any aid
whatsoever. His visit to Ely this
week was the first III a period or
about eighteen months and when old
friends grasped him by the hand he
instantly called them by name. rec
ognizing them by the mere touch OF
the hand as quickly as one who pos
sessed keen eyesight would. He like
wise readily recognizes the voice OF
a friend and frequently when he
hears such a voice in a group he
walks directly to where his friend
NAV be and warmly greets him.
Another remarkable feature con-
corning him is that he can recognize
a horse or a dog by placing his hand
upon Ii and by his kindly manner,
which appeals so strongly to the hu-
man being. he likewise ingratietes
himself with the animal, He has no
fear of walking into a corral with a
band of horses. some of which are
sometimes vicious, and as he speak
kindly TO them they will gather about
him. apparently jealous Of his affec-
ton.
Through his wide circle of friends
and his ability as an entertaining
eonyersationalist he keeps In close
touch with the affairs of the world
and ably discusses the questions of
the day which concern the nation at
large. He Is a master OF the type
writer and by this means communi-
Gates with his friends and we'll as
t~ransacting his business affairs. writ
ing letters and other instruments or
the typewriter in such a manner as
to give them the appearance of conf
ing from the hand of n professional
in that line.
The many accomplishments of
George Halstead. suffering under
such a severe handicap. serve as an
object lesson to those who have been
blessed with all their faculties.
By the application of the same
amount Of energy many people who
are not so handicapped could render
invaluable service to the world at
large as we'll as win for themselves a
place in the foremost ranks of men.

MINING PROBLEMS
 IN LOCAL DISTRICT REPORTEDBY CHIEFS.
List of Iron Ores in Birming- ham District and Study of Devices Revealed by u.
 S. Bureau of Mines
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-HeraId,
 6OO Davidson Buildin

Washington. July 2.-(Speclal. )-- The United States bureau of mines has announced its iron mining problems in Birmingham district. An investl- sation in progress at the Southern experiment station of the bureau of mines. Birmingham- Tuscaloosa, re- lates to the location of lowgrade hign silica iron ores, the support of mines and the ventilation of the mines of that district.
 Large blocks of iron ore will be cut to uniform size and tested with view to determining their crushing strength as basis for the calcula- ton of size and arrangement of pill lars in the mines. Subsistence in iron mines will also be- Investigated, involving careful study of surface and underground conditions.
 Metalmine ventilation and the dust problem are to be studied in a manner similar to that which has been followed by the bureau of mines in certain metal-mining districts of the north and east.
 Study of the Dip Needle
 The brown iron ores of the Wood stock district, though non-magnetic, have similar and definite action on the needle of the dip compass, and compass has been devised by the United States bureau of mines that will locate bodies of this ore.
 It is planned to extend the inves- tigation to other magnetic ore bodies as rapidly as time will per- init. The bureau of mines has de- termined by laboratory and field tests that there Is a constant vari- ation in the dip needle for each de- gree of change in temperature.
 The constants have been estab- lished for the arrowhead and car types of dip needle. The workings of the dip needle have been checked over tesSed ground, with uniform satisfactory results.
 An extended study is planned ct different occurrences of ore, In order tc properly interpret observations.

lon my election to the chief magistracy | of the United States.
 After having received from my fel- low citizens In general the most lib- eral treatment. after having found them disposed to contemplate in the l most flatterinR point of view the per formance of my military services, and the manner of my retirement at the close of the war, feel that have a right to console myself. in my pres ent arduous undertaking, with the hope that they will still be Inclined to put the most favorable construction on tho motives which may influence me in my future public transactions.
 Connecting Links
 The satisfaction arising from the indulgent opinion entertained by the American people of my conduct will. trust, be some security for prevent ing me from doing anything which might justly Incur the forfeiture of that opinion. And the consideration that human happuiness and moral duty are inseparably connected, will always continue to prompt me to pro- mote the progress of the former by inculcating the purities.
 "On this occasion 1t would i'll be- come me to conceal tho joy I have felt In percelving the fraternal af- lection which appears to increase every day among the friends of gen uine religion. It affords edlfying prospects. indeed, to see Christians of different denominations dwell to- Rether in more charity. and conduct themselves in respect to each other with q more Christianlike spirit than ever they have done In any former age or In any nation.
 T receive, with the greatest satis- faction. your congratulations on the establishment of the new constitution mild yet efficient operations will tend to remove every remaining apprehen- sion Of those with whose opinions I may not entirely coincide. as well as to confirm the hopes of its numerous friends and because the moderation, patriotism and wisdom of the present federal legislature seem to promise the restoration of order and our an- cient virtues--the extension of gen uine religion--and the consequent ad- vancement of our responsibility abroad and of our substantial hap piness at home.
 'T request. most reverend and TO- spectable gentlemen, that you will ao- cept my cordial thanks for your de- vout applications to the Supreme Ruler of the Universal in behalf of me.
