CHAPTER EIGHT

NSTANAR and Stellara saw men,
Il women and children running
from their huts, and all directed
their steps toward the same point.
The guard before their door leaped
to his feet and stood for a moment
looking at the running villagers.
: Then, without word or backward
glance, he dashed off after them.
Tanar, realizing that for the mo-
ment at least they were rnguarded,
stepped from the dark cell out into
4 the open living apartment and
looked in the direction toward which
the villagers. were running. There
he saw the cause of the disturbance
and also an explanation of the pur-
pose for which the strange hanging
barrier had been erected.
Just beyond the barrier doomed
two gigantic mammoths-huge tan
doris, towering sixteen feet or more
in height-tl1eir wicked eyes red
with hate and rage; their great
atusks cleaning in the sunlight; their
dong powerful trunks seeking to drag

ened stakes of which their flesh re-
coiled. Facing the mammoths was
a shouting horde of warriors,
screaming women and children, and
above all rose the laundering din
OF the drums.
Each time the tandors sought to
force their way through the barrier
or brush aside the posts, these
sswung about so that the sharpened
stakes threatened their eyes or
q pricked the tender flesh of their
trunks while bravely facing them
the shouting warriors hurled their
stone-tipped spears.
But however interesting or inspir-
ing the sight might be, Tanar had
no time to spare to follow the
course OF this strange encounter.
Turning to Stellara, he seized her
hand. Come" he cried. Nov Is
rour chancel"
And while the villagers were en-
sgrossed with the tandors at the far
+ end of the village, Tanar and Stel-
lara ran swiftly across the clearing

CREATING LAWLESSNESS

Human nature-One of whose
fundamental characteristics is
the urge toward freedom-can
not be changed by legislation.
Age-old customs cannot be
erased overnight by a law.
Here are truths that should be
called to the attention of every
lawmaker. An important reason
for the prevalence of crime in
America is that we have harass
ed the good citizen with tre
menous volume of hasty, unen
forceable and ill-considered leg
islation. It will usually be found
that law-abiding nations are
those where the laws are design
ed to protect the rights of citi
zens, rather than to restrict them
on the du ubious theory that crime
will thus be lessened.
We cannot curb lawlessness
by merely passing more need
lessly restrictive laws to break.

readily be seen that by Septem
Der l half of the men employed
by contractors in highway work
will be out of employment and
many employed by the state
likewise will be idle.
There are no funds in sight to
continue the pace that highway
construction has been going for
the past few months. Something
elso must be done by the people
of the state to further meet the
emergency. Conditions gener
ally are on the mend. 1t is time
that private enterprise began to
take up the load of relieving the
unemployed situation by increas.
ing their own employment needs.
Building that needs to be done
should be started; materials have
not been so cheap in many years
thus making it logical time to
build. Our citizens must have
work to support themselves and
their families. Conditions can
be greatly improved if every
employer in the state will try to
increase bis employment. and
when be does, be sure they are

SILVER IN INDUSTRY,

The future of silver. according
to Charles White Merrill of the
Bureau of Mines, will depend on
industry. He points out that
silver, except for photography.
has found no important indus
trial use ia recent times, and the
Photographic industry does not
take five per cent of available
silver supply.
The United States is the lead
ing consumer of silver for arts
and industries, using about AZ /,
100000 ounces year. Use of
silver in other countries is small.
and three-fourths of the current
supply goes for coinage. If the
metal is to be brought back to
it's former standing, it must find
new markets and new uses.
Effort is now being given to
studying fields in which silver
might proftably be used. The
world. generally, has gone to
gold standard of money. and the
next logical development is to
make silver, like copper and
lead, an important Industrial
metal.

MEETING THE EMERGENCY

TO the occasion with the result
that every bit of Federal Aid
which it was able to take, in
cluding the Emergency Federal
Aid offered by the government

This ability of the department
to meet the emergency has
greatly helped to relieve the un.
employment situation in the
state. On July l there we're
2, 600 men employed upon state
highway construction. 1850 of
these being employed by the
contractors on state work.
The department has seen that
these men working upon the
highway are citizens of the state,
and it has been able to have the
wage schedules maintained to
standard levels. This has been
the one bright spot in the eco.
nomic conditions generally in the
state, due to the depressed con.
ditions in agriculture and the
mines with the attendant unem
ployment 10 all communities.
But the peak of state aid has
been passed. At the present
time approximately 40 projects
are under way by the depart

contracts must be completed by
September 1. The normal con.
struction of the department will

MINING ATTAE VERDE CENTRAL
COPPER MINE

Methods aud costs of mining
at Verde Central Mines. Inc ),
Jerome, Arizona, are described
in an Information Circular of the
United States Bureau of Mines.
Department of Commerce, pre-
pared by R. 81. Dickson, plant
manager.
The Verde Central mine in
1929 and 1880 was producing &
10, 900 tons of ore per month,
averaging about 20 per cent
copper and 04 ounces silver.
The ore occurs in shear zones in
Pre-Cambrian greensboro at or
near the contact between the
greensboro and large quartz
porphyry stock. The ore bodies.
consisting of quartz with dissem
mated pyrite and chalcopyrite,
are about Is feet in thickness, SO
to 800 feet long, and stand near
ly vertical.
The stopping zones extend from
the 600 to the 19O0-foot levels,
and are developed by vertical,
accompaniment shaft, crosscuts
and drifts at 150-foot vertical
! intervals. About l foot Of de
velopment work is required fol
every 50 tons of ore extracted.
Both the greensboro and por
phyry are hard, firm rocks which
permit openings to be driven
without tim bering. TIE cost OF
13. 1000 feet of drifting and cross
cutting in 1927 was $l1.98 per
foot.
Stopping is done chiefly by
shrinkage, sometimes followed
by filing if it is desired to ex
tract the pillars of ore left under
the levels. Occasionally where
faulting has created bad wal
conditions. inclined cut and ill
stoping is used. An interesting G
feature of the shrinkage STOPPING
practice is the blasting cham ber
constructed above each chute
This provides safe and con
venient place iu which to dc
much of the necessary secondary
breaking, and increases tram,
ming efficiency. Cribbed raises
are carried up through the
broken ore for passageways into
the slopes.
| Hand tramming and storage
battery locomotives are used fol
underground haulage, the latter
for distances over 600 feet. Ore
is hoisted in double deck cages
/ Development work Is done
under bonus system. Stopping
is contracted on a square yaro
basis, similar to the Colorado
plan of payment by the fathom
The niue is ventilated by ma
tural draft which passes down
through an old incliped shaft
and series of raises to the low
est level, the desired amount oi
air being taken off at each leve
and upcast through-the slopes
and the main shaft.

ABOUT THE ENGINEER
Triha1nn.

The engineer has spoken. He is no
longer stationary. Great beams of
steel are being forged and will be
added to that enormous credit struc-
ture beneath which We, millions Of
LIS. waddle daily in cur quest for
crabs and crawfish upon which we
tain would fill our bellies. We who
are near the foundations regard with
apprehension the addition of this
added weight. Our sense of equilib-
rum tells us that the structure is al
ready leaning. The ~quicksands Of
credit bulge and ooze at the base Of
the structure. We fear for our very
lives lest the structure fall upon us
and crush us, yet, whittier shall we
flee? We are encompaSsed about with
an impossible barrier.
Again the engineer has spoken. A
prop is needed. The prop of public
confidence. We, beneath the struc-
ture, have long since lost confidence.
That prop must come from above,
from those who are. upon the struc-
ture. At bes: it is q tickle thing
which today is. and tomorrow is not.
We have waddled so long in the
quicksandS of credit that We have de-
veloped webbed feet, but We have not
as yet grown wings. Whittier, then
and how shall we flee? +.
Yours to serve,

That Hunger March


People generally gave little thought
to the march of $500 men, women and
children up Capitol Hill in Washing
ton recently. It may have been a
Communistic gesture. Most people
like to dismiss these scenes as part
of the stage business of politics.
But can it all be dismissed as cas-
lily as that?
There were doubtless hungry NOR
tails in that motley crowd bearing the
marks of police rough handling. De-
privations of one kind or another
stifled pride in old men and mothers
OF tired, hungry children.
Here, then, is the problem for our
best minds. 1t is being attacked Wig
orcusly. Millions in money have been
raised from coast to coast. Commu-
nifty chests have been over-subscribed
ard funds have poured into urem-
ployment relief Golfers.
But that won't cure the situation.
These charity drives are only palia-
tives at best. Conditions must be cor
lected which will make impossible
such hunger marches" or demon
otrations of that kind.
If there ever was a time calling fer
leadership of high calibre, it is new.
Will the crisis produce the leader and
point the way to better days?
