the least money. That's why

into consideration that the lower layers of air in the under-
ground air-ways and at the bottom of the downcast are com-
pressed by the higher layers in the shaft and the atmosphere
above the shaft, and the greater the depth and diameter of the
downcast the greater will be the compression. Air is also elec-
tric—that is, it can be expanded by heat or by reducing the
pressure on the top of the upcast. The exhaust fan would
therefore create a larger vacuum at the top of a 10x8 shaft used
as an upcast than it would do at the top of a 14x8 used as an
upcast. Consequen.ly, by making the 10x8 the upcast and the
14x8 the downcast two natural powers would assist t]je ventila-
tion, viz : A large column of air in the downcast (one put in
motion is power), and the larger vacuum at the top of the up-
cast caused by the fan. The intake air in dips or descendent
workings acts as a ventilating power assisting any other ventila-
ting power that may be in existance, and as I have already
quoted the downcast should be made of the greatest practical
area. Trapper.
A Smash=Up.
Not often do our colored friends become obstreperous, but on
last Sunday a slight "diffucalty" occurred in camp, which re-
sulted in a broken lamp, a cracked head and the landing of the
male end of the set-to in jail. About the noon hour a man
known as '.'Snake" carried a fiiend to his hostelry for dinner. A
"controsputing argufy" arose over the settlement of ' the price,"
and the landlady made a war talk, which was resented by her
guest, and the aforesaid landlady "went after" her gun it is al-
leged, and her well known "rep" for getting away with a scrap
caused "Snake" to ' trow de lamp," which smashed against her
cranium with such velocity as to cause blood to flow freelv. This
caused her to set up a yell, to which a steam calliope would have
been a timid second, and she, blood-bespattered, sped through
camp "a huntin'for de law." A posse of rangers, detectives,
constables and curiosity seekers started out to capture • Snake "
and soon landed him in durance vile, and then had to threaten to
hurl a mountain on the bloody hostess in order to have her de-
sist from her caliopian harangue.

GOOD ADVICE.
Every patriotic citizen should give his
personal effort and influence to increase
the circulation of his home paper which
teaches the American policy of Protec-
tion. It is his duty to aid in this respect
in every way possible. After the home
paper is taken care of, why not sub-
scribe for the American Economist,
published by the American Protective
Tariff League ? One of its correspon-
dents says: "No true American can
get along without it. I consider it the
greatest and truest political teacher in
the United States."
