With the approach of the end of the season attention has been turned to the lower ground in preparation for winter, resulting in the commencement of a tunnel near the winter camp site which has for its object the cutting at a depth of 100 feet the well- known Montana vein, from which shipments were made by leasers in the past, and which crops an the face of the mountain for a distance ef over 800 feet.

N.i A.lv��r(lali��u AscptaJ for Nret ��'����<��� THE EARTH'S CRUST THE PHRASE "the earths crust" comes to have a more vivid significance whan we read the press dispatches from Fiumicino, Italy, about 25 miles from Rome, telling of liquid lava tapped at that place by a hole only 125 feet deep. The hole was being dug in preparing foundations for a gas factory. (.asses began coming into thc hole, mid the laborers made their escape; then lava rose in the hole and filled it, and is now overflowing it. Truly, the crust at this point is a thin one: and there is an astonishingly sharp line shown between this cool solid crust and the liquid lava below. A current geological conception is that rock magma in depth is approached through a long transition, during which the solid rock becomes more and more plastic; but this conception is not sufficiently supported by other than theories. Whether the crust is everywhere underlain by fluid magma is uncertain. In any event it is certain that the thickness varies enormously. In the western United States, as, for example, in Nevada, observations on In-nt increment indicate that the volcanic layer may not be so many thousands of feet down; while in areas like the Pre-Cambrian of Canada we have no evidences of any underlying magmas since the Pre-Cambrian practically an eternity, measured in human lives. On the Atlantic seaboard ef North America, the last lava eruptions were long ago in the Triassic, yet at the close of the Cretaceous a great curved rift in the crust, reaching from western New York at least into Missouri and Arkansas, permitted theupwelling of dikes which showed a uniform magma body underlying the whole great area. Nearly everywhere, of course, the depth of fluid magma is so great aa to be practically beyond the power of man to reach. Even in regions of volcanic activity, an occurrence like that reported is unprecedented. IGNORANCE OF THE ARCTIC In its "masthead" Ihe Wide World Mngazine, publisned in London, says: "Every narrative must be strictly true in every detail nnd a written statement to this effect must be furnished." The magazine is extremely interesting, covering as it does the adventures of travellers in every part of the world; but it is easily hoaxed. As an example, the June number of this year carries a story entitled "Five Hundred Miles in Open Boats." Tho yarn describes a trip along the const of the Arctic ocean, starting June ..0 and lasting 13 days. The author says: "The pitch-black darkness, relieved only by the glare of our electric torches, feeble enough in that land of gloom ..." etc., in recounting one of the many imnginnry perils he describes. This expression brands him as a faker nnd the editor of the magazine as woefully ignorant on climatic conditions in the Arctic. Every ten-year- old school boy knows, or should know, that during the middle of the summer the sun does not set north of the Arctic circle in the region described.
