In addition to the foregping, during the three six-months' terms which make up the course the cadets are instructed by a spe­ cial professor for each subject in physical culture, swimming, fencing and marksman­ ship with the revolver.

For the' ••cond six rtonths the studies embrace tactics ' f|lth tile weapon used la the department to which ;co. have been searching for the second of what, has been recorded in history as the "twin lost mines." In certain old records of the early qcdaslons mention is made of two certain lost * mines. The names under which they are record­ ed, like the names of most of the missions estab­ lished under the Spanish crown, do not corre­ spond with any known landmarks today and hence only relative location «an ho used «• * basis for exploration. ?. When the San Pedro mine, located sooth of NaAozarl, was discovered some years ago, with Its-old underground workings, it Is firmly b*> . lieved that one of the two lost mines had been ' discovered. Now ft seeme probable that the sec­ ond also has been located and in the belt Indi­ cated in the ancient documents, uven If the second of the famous lost mines has not been discovered an antigua mine of great age hae been it Sound, with proofe enough to indicate that it ha# : not been worked for many years. * p The discovery was made by John Gullfoyle, a well-known pioneer mining prospector of Naco- aatrl. When out west of Nacosari about ten miles .. hs came across $' piece of detached ore, which he picked up and examined. He spent many days looking over the neighboring ledges in the hope of coming across the mother lode. But his search was in vain. Meantime he brought In the speci­ men of ore and was surprised to find that it ran 1,170 ounces of silver to the ton, with good values in gold. This assay ran so high that he returned to the district and continued his search. While using a steel in a creek bottom he found rock almost at the surface, but continuing his sound- ffcgs he suddenly struck a spot wbere t^o stael sank several feet. * : Gullfoyle knew'that the rock formation could <nbt have ended so abruptly and he began to ex­ cavate. He uncovered a long cut in the solid . rock of the creek bed which held down stream * and which could not have been cut there when the water was flowing in the present creek bed. As he progressed he found old stone implements, including stone hammers, hatchets, and finally he Catoe across a great ancient mateta or atone bowl in which the ancient workers pulverized the na>- oree before smelting in thetr eruda 4obe tap> ttaces. Later he uncovered matetas, all made of * hard tint rock, which must have been brought Into the district from a considerable distance, as there is no flint of this hardness near the mine. Alter pursuing his work for several days, the drift In ..the sock, led into the am ledge, hut the old worklBgSv W^re tewDdkt» ^ jcloa«id up aolid .with '•lit.. \ ! • r- • • • • _ . . Gullfoyle pursued his investigation and found gsdsr the soil on thO creek upland the remains of an old slag dump. As is customary with tbe prospectors in Sonora, QuIUoyle at once had this •lig assayed. On account of the primitive meth­ od* of smelting employed by the ancient work­ men the slag found on these old dumps is uaualli rich enough to be worked over again in the mod­ ern smelters, which leave nothing of value in the , but, strange to note, in this case the slag' found to be absolutely worthless, Indicating that at this mine the pulverising of the ore had assisted in the extraction of the metal values The antique smelters also knew a lot about th< use of certain chemicals In the extraction ot metal from the ore and at this mine probably one of "those processes was used in connection with the furnace, only, fragments of the foundation of Which were found by excavation. . The finding of the stone tools has caused uon- Mierable interest among those of «n archaeology leal turn of mind. The Spaniards were experts In the manufacture of steel, so that the tools wers not used by them. The supposition is that as Indian tribe worked this mine and that this tribf probably operated following the invasion and oo cnpatlon of the Spanish adventurers. It is well known that there is a long gap between the * six­ teenth and eighteenth centuries where the tystar? of- Old Mexico and* that district now Including f-rl- so»a and New Mexico is missing, probably m> cjM»e the missionaries, finding that the crown oi Spain robbed every mine reported, ceased to make report of them. In 1720 the Indians killed all the mine workers in Sonora and ArLsona anil many mines abandoned at that time have been lost to thp world. Sonora has many mines which on opening, are found to he antigua* and many ot them are very rich.

K^ir • Mi Kaihii 6prSngfleld.-~The state railroad com* mission has just concluded a series of public hearings in Chicago and various commercial centers of the state, during which it has obtained a mass of evi­ dence sustaining the"claims of';; the shippers that express rates are not only grossly excessive and unreason­ able .'in themselves, h'dt <are based on « system -vrhich e«aiiat be defsisded by Any of the recognised principles of rate making. , - . -n#*d by the state coffifflilBfeB hsTB be«u supple 2oente(\ by exhauiStii'e investigation on Its s>wi account And . by. elaborate statistics presented by the shippers* .through their attorneys, and it is ex­ pected that within the next two or three months the commissioners will hand down a decision prescribing a 'schedule of what in its opinion atfe reasonable maximum rates for tlia transportation of merchandise by ex­ press. Among the discrepancies in the rate system of the companies as practised ltt Illinois discovered by the commis­ sion are the following: Express rates in Illinois are being made without regard to distance. Rates from Chicago to points on railroads running generally south, such as the Alton, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, etc., are scaled much lower than for the same distances on lines running directly west from Chicago to the Mississippi river. t Hates in Illinois are higher titan in other states in which the various rail­ road commissions have assumed,Juris­ diction and promulgated rates. Express rates do not conform to the tong and short haul clause of the rail­ road act.;. V ' If, aw CAprSao CCiupau/ uan' u long' ing for more revenue--as frequently it has--it must advance its rates double the desired amount, as half of the gross earnings go to the .railroad com­ panies.:. The principal complaint at tiie ChJU cago merchants and citizens Is direct- «wi the rates charged by the exprewg companies for short distances but of Chicago, which were advanced in 1907 from 30 cents a hundred pounds to 40 cents, and in 1908 were again advanced to 50 cents. At the time the 40 cent rates were advanced, or shortly thereafter, the entire scale of rates throughout the state was increased similarly, in some Instances as high as 25 per cent. The 50 cent rates in the schedule were in­ creased to 60 and the 60 .cent ra^ea to 76 cents. :<•.... ...... > H. C. Barlow, tr«ffic director of the Chicago Association o? Commerce, has prepared a table comparing rates be­ tween Chicago and 150 stations In Illi­ nois with those for similar distances in other states where express rates have been regulated by the state rail­ road commissioner showing 28 to 36 per cent, lower rates in the states with less density of population. Another vigorous complaint made by the shippers is against the gradu­ ate scale used for small packages. Os­ tensibly all of the express rates are based on the charge for 100 pounds. This may be Reasonable in itself, but only about ten per cent, of the pack­ ages shipped" hy express weigh 100 pounds. Below (hat weight the graduate scale is used, but a minimum weight is fixed beyond which the 100 pound rate is applied. IFthe minimum is 45 pounds a 45 pound shipment costs as much as 100, and the lower, weights are charged for in proportion. Within ten years, it Is declared by the shippers, the average rates ail over the United States has been raised at least 33 1-3 per cent, by fluctuations In the graduate scale. Express company officials testified before the commission that thoif rates generally were based on two and a half times the freight rate between the same points. Tables Introduced at the hearings, howeter, showed that many rates were from three to five times the first class freight rate. Contracts between the express com­ panies and the railroads, according to the contention of the shippers, are tA an Improper basis. The American, Adams, TTnited States and Weiis-Pargo companies are earning from 25 to more than 100 per cent, annually on their capitalisation. A demand is crystallizing that the state take hold and regulate the rates in the manner that hag, been done ef­ fectively In other states. This is the opihfon of Dr. <S, C.:Hop- klhs, professor of agronomy and rec­ ognized western authority ots i&nd fer^ til'ty, given in a "warning" issued to Illinois land owners* --The- ards China and Japan, where the porterhouse steak is unknown, is one of the things ,that„.the.

"There must be limitations iin the reproduction of the less tit, mentally, morally and physically, or there can be no WBuniuuc u* poj infiSSBt s«si$iv- nance of prosperity and high civilisa­ tion," says the expert. Doctor Hopkins adds that James J. HiH overestimates the importance of exploiting our natural resources be­ cause the virgin soil left is sot much in comparison with the magnitude of ^ smis* priwit. agricultural development. Incidentally the raiiroa-i magnate's advice.to farmers in which scouts the idea of the loss oi fertility wiii do more damage than all his oth^r efforts wlK do good, says Dr. Hopkins. .JBven the irrigated lands may suffer deple­ tion where reservoir water is .wwed, which contains ;no suspended fertility/ he adds. 8uffrsge Auto Compaign. The first part of the suffrage auto^- mobile campaigning parties will leave Chicago on May 24 if roads and weather permit, and will be under the personal conauct oi Hiois ri Giiut of the University of Chicago. Mrs. George Trout of Oak Park, the newly elected equal suffrage presi­ dent, will be one of the party, as will Miss Mary Bartelme. The party will begin the campaign at Morristown or Sterling, working two or three towns a day to the western counties. They will visit Mount Carmel, Rock Island, Mollne and inost of the larger towns on the rbute. The trip will last through the week.* In fact, it is the plan pf the suf- fragisto to vgo out in weekly parties throughout the summer, Dr. Anna Blount and Mrs. 0»iharln<8 Waugh McCulloch to personally conduct oth­ ers leaving later in the summer.
