This company during the past four years have produced about 20,000 ounces of gold from their reole, and tle, too, with ordinary mining appliances, and from ground above the 200 feet level. What I mean by ordinary appliances in that they have hid neither renk-drilling machinery nor chlorination or cyanide treatment for their concentrates and tailings.

A dieadvantage of the metric system is found in the use of the Centigrade scale on this thermometer. Prof. HA. Hason points our that the degrees in this are twins too large, while weather recorde are complicated and filled with errors by having half the temperatures with minte signs before them. Prof Hazou suggests that both the Centigrade and Fabren heit scales have their zero point dropped to 40 degrees holow zero of the present scales. This would obriste the difficulty of the minus sigu in messrelogy, but the Fahrenheit degree would remain the better,
