The most important term of
nautical measurement is the
knot" that is generally COM
parable to the mile" used in
measurement of distance on land.
However, the nautical mile is
6086.7 feet against $3.50 feet in
land measure. When it is desired
to determine the ships speed a
log line" is cast into the water;
the line being knotted at such
distances along its length as to
indicate by ratio a equivalent
value of miles per hour in terms
of knots per half minute. Mech
anical methods of measurement
have generally supplanted this
system.
The word knot" had some
curious forms of spelling in the
older languages. Our word is
from the Anglo-Saxon "cnot"
and "cnotta" and the Dutch used
the word "knoop." The Danish
"knude". more nearly approaches
the Latin "nodus" or "gnodus;" a
rather elastic term that meant a
knot, a knob, or anything swell
ing out or protuberant. From
thence comes the important as
Economical term mode with ref
erence to the intersection or cut
ting-across the plane Of orbit Of
planet, or of the sun, and in
music the word is applied to di-
vision of harmonic chords. In
botany the word is found in
"nodule;;" the swelling Of the stem
of the plant to form leaf or
root.
While the word knot" had no
original significance in the sense
of joining things together, it has
come to have that value when we
speak of the "nuptial knot" of
the matrimonial state. We also
speak of a "knotty' problem in
which all the factors are jumbled
or entangled, and also use the
term in sense of a cluster, and
the splice or tying together Of a
rope or the folding Of a ribbon.

of distance should have had ear

Judith did not tell Nancy, who
had secretly foresworn the sex,
that Owen Brooke, her favorite
nephew, was presumably study
ing for the bar exam in the ad-
joining cottage on her island.
If there were a worlds record
for getting engaged, Judith had
no doubt that Owen would be the
titleholder. He was the typical
college boy, always engaged, al
though Judith suspected that he
had never seriously considered
the convention of marriage, ex-
cept perhaps when he was cram
ming for sociology quiz.

The Word "Knot" And Its Early Origin

three miles in English and nau-
tical usage and four miles in
Dutch and German use.
There is no very general use
of the word in modern phraseol-
ogy and it's use has been confined
to nautical measurement when
applied at all. In early days of
the State of Texas and elsewhere
in the southwestern part of the
United States, land grants were
made to settlers, sometimes in
terms of leagues and labors" in
which the word Tabor" was a
Mexican term used to indicate an
area of 1T acres. If the term
league" represented three miles,
the square league would approx
mate an area of nine square
miles or roughly 500 acres; an
extensive plot of ground, but not
surprising as acreage held by one
individual in the wide, open
spaces"
In the sense of an association
the word league" comes from
the Latin 'ligare," meaning ito
bind" This root word provides
host of derivatives, some of which
will be considered in due time.
In the sense of present discus
sion, a league" indicates a
group bound" by common pur-
pose and a colleague" is an in
dividual bound" or associated by
a common interest or profession.
A group may be lin league" with
another group, but if this group
or groups are in such position as
to be held, or without means of
escape, it is said to- be "beleag-
uered." However, this term is
used more in the melodramatic
or poetical sense than in every
day application.
In connection with use of the
Mexican labor" as a surface
measure, the term "vara" was
once used rather extensively in
San Francisco as a unit of meas
urement for real estate. The term
was a heritage of Spanish occu-
pancy of California and indicated
approximately 2 feet sA inches.

lier mention. 1t comes to us from
the Latin "mille," meaning one
thousand and originally, in the
form of "millia passuum, meant
lone thousand PAGES" or steps.
The Roman pace was considered
as three and one-half feet, SO the
Roman mile was shorter than the
English and American mile.
But it appears that the term
mile" as used on the Continent
of Europe, is almost as elastic as
the "ell" of recent discussion; the
Germans having their long" and
short" mile of SIS and 3.9 Eng
lish miles respectively; the Danish
mile is approximately Al English
miles, and the Swedish mile in
cludes over 61a miles as we know
the term.

"The Charge of the Light Bri.
gade" and perhaps vaguely ap-
preciate that a measurement Of
distance was so indicated. And
we read of the League of Ma
tions" and understand some form
of an association. Again, the
statesman speaks of his "col-
leagues" to designate those in ac-
cord with his views, and a city is
said to be "beleaguered" when
surrounded by an enemy. Hence
we find the word league" to be
useful in many applications.
Quite probably the word ap-
piled as a measure of distance
had different origin from that in
dicating an association or fedora
ton. In sense of measurement
the word comes originally from
the ancient Celtic and we find it
as the Gaelic and Irish "leac"
and Welsh "llech" to indicate a
stone marker, or so-called flag
stone" placed at definite distances
along a highway, as "milestones"
are sometimes used. The league"

warm fragrance of bayberry, had
already begun it's healing process
when
"Ouch darn!" cried Nancy.
She picked up the calfskin
tome that had come hurtling onto
her thigh from behind the rock.
BIdckStone'S Commentaries, A
tousled, brown head appeared
over the rock, and under it such
a surprised, rueful boys face
that Nancy giggled. The boy
grinned an engaging grin.
II am sorry. But say, what

tastel And I was going to throw
the old boy to the fish. My
names Owen Brooke, by the way,
and what are you doing on my
Aunt Judith's island ?"
"Oh, she lent me her cottage,
to get away from it all. I'm
Nancy Chatham"
"Judith's swell girl. The FAM
lily drops me on this island so I
won't be distracted from my
books, and she lends you her cot
tage."
Nancy smiled. He seemed very
young after Saint.
"I'm sure she knew I wouldn't
distract you"
"Oh, off the sex!" Owen said
sagely. His wide experience had
made him feel precocious in the
ways of women. "Well, so am l
off yours. In fact, the boat that
brought you over brought me a
letter ending it all, and my pin
back again. Let's drown our sor-
rows together"
With a swift run and dive he
was in the water. Nancy dove
after him. 1t was pleasant to
have someone to swim with.
So pleasant, in fact, that the
days passed and they spent them
together. The season was late
and there were few vacationers
on the island. The lighthouse
keeper and his wife, who served
as cook for them, were the only
permanent residents.
On the mainland, telegraph
wires and telephones buzzed,
newspapers were printed and
hawked and thrown hurriedly
away to make room for the next
edition; letters were written, and
in New York they were delivered
as often as six times a day, but
the islands sole contact with all
that metropolitan madness was
the launch that brought provi-
sions and stale papers once a
week, and that would come for
Nancy only when her week was
over.
BY the second day, Owen was
making love to Nancy in the
light collegiate way that she
could not quite object to.
You're a swell egg, Nancy,
great old horse. Ready, mos
quito?" all murmured with soft
voice and look of abject devo-
ton.

Nancy put down the French
phone and reached for her desk
pad. Funny, methodical Nancy,
as though she could forget it.
But there was a soft little smile
on her lips. Lucky she had her
private office!
Tea, Saint. Van Buren, Hotel,

She almost added engagement
ring" OF course that was what
he wanted. Saint was so conven-
tionaI and after his proposal last
night-Nancy smiled again at
that memory. She would have ex-
pected him to choose someone's
garden, or at least Carl Schurz
Park very late at night, with the
red and green lights on the river.
AS a matter of fact, she had not
really expected Saint to propose
at all.
Most would-be bachelors of
thirty are only young men who
are not married yet. ST. Law
renee Vail, though, was convinc-
ing in the role. But imagine,
Nancy's thoughts ran on as she
drew innumerable cartwheels on
the blank copy sheet headed
"Susskind's Sweetheart Choco-
lates"-imagine his popping the
conventional question in Junius's,
of all possible night clubs.
Tomorrow he had added on
Nancy's enthusiastic acceptance.
"Oh, 1 couldn't possibly, Saint.
Not before three weeks, anyway.
1 have that candy account, and
the Italian Hotels account, both
national, and several local ones,
and I'll have to do loads of copy
on all of them before can go
away"
Even in her new, warm happi-
ness she had noted Saints
strange depression.
"Of course if you say so,
sweet, but I don't like engage
ments."
Nancy adored engagements.
She dreamed through the rest
of the afternoon-Saint was so
sophisticated and charming, and
awfully simple really, especially
considering how prosperous he
was, and so sweet about her
work, and so handsome on a
horse and. At a quarter of
five she tossed into the waste
basket six pages of cartwheels,
frightened her red lips, pulled
the little red hat over her dark
curls, and grinned at her spark
ling, brown-eyed reflection.
"a blind man could see that
you're in love, idiot"
Saint, his coat and hat checked,
was waiting in the Van Buren
lobby. He was one of those big,
blond youths, not really good
looking at all, whose crinkling,
blue-eyed smiles are so sympa-
thetic that no girl knows-or
cares whether they're good
looking or not.
Nancy noticed at once that he
was curiously subdued.
"Oh, are we staying here? I
supposed you meant cocktails"
NO, I said tea"
A bad case of cold feet, Nancy
diagnosed, selecting Scotch scones
and Oolong.
She waited breathlessly for the
ring. She didn't really care for
anything Sc conventional as a
diamond solitaire, herself, but she
knew Saint would believe in that
sort of thing.
And then 1t slowly dawned on
her that this small talk was not
for the waiter, but for her; that
they were dancing not TO warm
his cold feet, so to speak, but to
prevent her referring to the pre-
vious evening.
Nancy was deeply hurt.
In the middle of dance she
glanced at her watch-Nancy,
who never cared what time 1t
was when she was with Saint.
"Oh, I'll have to hurry. I'm ex-
pecting Judith Brooke for din
ner."
He put her in his roadster, still
chatting desperately about golf
and the market.

Hartley Mine

The Hartley mine was originally owned and
operated by William Mueller who began
shipping ore in 1901 Between 1901 and 1917
he shipped a total OF $40 900 worth Of ore
In 1920 the Neihart Consolidated Mining Co..
who purchased the mine from Mueller, began
operation. Between 1920 and 1927 the mine
yielded ore which contained 1,029 ounces of
gold 100000 ounces Of silver and 2342 600
pounds OF lead, with total value Of s55200O
During 1928 small mill produced from the
Hartley dump $50 tons Of concentrates con-
tanning l2i ounces of gold $40 ounces Of
silver, 1900 pounds of lead and $50 pounds
OF zinc valued in all at $4,000. The total
value Of the Hartley production was s767-
600 up to 1929. Since then more ore has been
milled from the dump, but no figure avail
able. Now the present mill has a capacity
OF 40 tons daily. and milled ore from both
the dump and the mine. In the winter most
all the ore comes from the mine from the
lower levels, which contains some very good
ore as well as some high grade. which makes
very fine mill head. and the mill is oper-
ating very successfully.
The vein in the Hartley mine occurs IN
gneiss within the belt Of red gneiss. but the
vein has been followed into the diorlte for
nation the vein widens downward The vein
IS filled fissure vein with sharp walls The
high grade ore usually comprises all Of the
Filling from foot wall to hanging wall as
contrasted to some Of the veins in the dis
trict. However in the lower levels the high
grade is confined to narrow streaks along
either one Of the walls. The porphyry ore is
OF good quality for milling ore. The ore is
crusher to handle.
The mine is equipped with a compressor
shop, hoist. skip, pump, and all the equip
ment is electrified
The mill equipment comprises crushers
ore bin, ball mill. elassifier, flotation ma
chimes, dryer and boiler, it is a very com
plete unit in itself
The ore coming from the mine averages at
the mill bin between IL to 90 ounces OF
silver per ton. The concentrate from this
ore range in value from $50 to over 200
ounces Of silver per ton which Is shipped
to the American Smelling and Refining com
panys plant at East Helena
The concentrate not only carries silver
value, but also lead. as much as 80 percent
at times, some gold and some zinc, with
large amount Of iron pyrite which makes a
good flux for the smelter furnaces.
The Silver Mining and Milling Go. operates
the property under lease and bond, this COM |
pany has leased the mine from the Neihart |
Consolidated Mining Co. The MANAGEMENT Of
the operations is under the care Of Tom Cor |
don Of Great Falls, an efficient and success |
ful operator. Some Of the mill equipment was |
furnished by the Southwestern Engineering |
Co. OF California, and the Denver Equipment |
Co. Of Denver, Colo
The Hartley mine was the first mine TO l
reopen in the district In 1934-35 and has /
the credit for bringing Neihart on the map
Of producing districts Of Montana.
