Train Sheep Dogs

Sheep dog field trials are as pop
ular in Scotland as are hunting dog
trials in America. Dog and master
enter a field. Four or five sheep
are released 500 yards away. The
dog runs out, brings the sheel to its
master. Then the dog singles out
certain sheep, drives them into a
pen. All must be done within few
minutes. Dogs are judged on form,

 This is the procedure in the simplest of all quicksilver assays. The character of tre Aux and ore, the conditions of melting and cupelling and the parting and weighing all influence the results and must be closely controlled. Accurate assaying consists in maintaining the most favorable conditions at each stage of the process and obtaining the maxi mum gold and silver in pure state.
 Now that we are all brother assayers, let's get to work. You sample the outcrops and I'll do the cooking. I've been thinking about getting a sign built saying, We guarantee high assay re- turns. So-long, metallurgical technicians.

 That Irkutsk is growing in inn portance from the viewpoint of military industry cannot be de- nied, but Joseph Stalin himself has made it so clear that the So- viet would consider an infringe ment of Mongolian territory by Japanese or Manchukuoan troops to be a casus belli that there is no present necessity to make of Irkutsk more than third or minor Headquarters, as it already has been for long time.
 Transport Is Problem .. As far back as 1883 Marshal Klcmenty E. VorOshilOff stated that the transport problem was one of the greatest difficulties of this vast country, especially so far as the Eastern army was con- cerned and that therefore this army had been so constituted and supplied as to minimize the trans port difficulty to the utmost.

 all of the tourists have left town we old-timers can spit on our hands and get to mining-along- side some nice hot stove. Now some of these prospects have been raked over the stove so often that they are becoming bit well, after passing story along for so many years, it's liable to become a bit obsquatulatorious. A benevolent Territorial Depart ment of Mines, realizing the need of new exploits to keep the stove red hot, have created an Assay Office in town. Here the raw mat erial for new ventures is given the fire test and an official touch This incidentally gives the pros pector a chance to evaluate his find.
 When a sample is brought in- to an assay office, how is it treat ed? In orde rto simplify the pro- cedure, assume that the sample IS to be assayed by fire methods for gold and silver,
 Proper sampling is of the ut most importance, for unless the sample to be assayed accurately represents the lot of ore from which it is taken, the greatest care in the assay itself means nothing. Where so called speci- men assays are made the sampl- ing of the small amount of pulp is usually a simple matter, but accuracy is also required.
 When a sample is brought in- to the office it is crushed to a uniform size and is sampled de- pending upon its size by one of the following self explanitory methods; coming and quartering, alternate shovels, or riffiing
 The part of the sample to be assayed is ground to minus 30 mesh or more, depending upon the ore, and a weighed amount is mixed with Aux, consisting usually of sodium carbonate, lead oxide, and borax, together with enough carbon to reduce most of the lead oxide to metal. The mixture is fused in a fire clay crucible at a red heat until the lead separates and sinks through the mass. The lead carries the gold, silver, and platin um if any, with it while the silica, calcium, alumina etc. in the ore form a slag with the rest of the Aux.
 When the action has been com pleted, the molten material is poured into mold and allowed 10 cool and solidify. The lead, carrying the precious metals with il sinks to the bottom of the mold and after Solidifyng iS separated from the slaG and plac- ed in a bone ash cupel which has previously ben raised to red heat in a muffel.

BY Miss Ethel Jones

With the season of music festi-
walls, concerts and recitals at hand,
music minded youngsters and grown
ups find themselves spending a few
more hours in practice so as TO mea
sure up successfully to require
ment.
There is a thrill to accomplish
ments in music that none recognizes
but ne who has struggled with a
difficult passagt in a pomposition
and suddenly finds that it a be
played with ease.
A young lady onee practiced up
on LISTS La Campas ella for over
six months and then finally she was
one day able to play it at the re-
quired speed without a single false
note in those difficult skips. 1t was
a joy to note the radiance which
seemed to fill her in this moment
of triumph over self and over the
omposisition. "Labors accomplished
are pleasant
In tSne same spirit a lot of 1un

pressed in the words of tho young

act brotherly. If we profess in
terracial goodwill we must live
it.
How may we make progress
toward these ideals?
Every church member by
word and deed, should stand
agaist lynching and mobs. He
should help to secure local and
national laws and enforcement
of them by fearless officials to
the end that every human be-
ing shall be inviolate In his per-
son and his property.
Every church member can do
his part to remove the unfair
ness which color prejudice en-
tails in securing employment,
in opportunities for training
and in the rights Of tenure and
advancement.
In color determinations now
o evident churchmen have a
clarion call to work for justice
nd fair play.
Every church has an obliga-
ion to express within its own
membership and friendly treat
nent of persons of minority ra-
ial groups. All members Of
he body are one in Christ.
