QUICKSAND.
How It l? Formed and Its Grtwirmt
Characteristics.
To most persons the word "quick
sand" gives a sensation of horror sim
ilar to that produced by the thought
of a snake, and many sensational ac
counts have given to quicksand al
most human attributes. No ordinary
observer would be able to distinguish
dry quicksand from any other sand,
and the average person would be un
able to restore It to Its "quick" prop
erties even If he tried. If water is
| mixed with the quicksand the mass
> does not become mobile, and If the
! water Is dralued off the saud will bo
found flrinly packcd.
Quicksand Is comparatively very
light, weighing about ninety-four
pounds to the* cubic foot, while other
forms of sand run as high as 171
pounds. Quicksand when examined
under the microscope will be found to
hnvo rounded coruors. like river sand,
as distinguished from "sharp" sand.
It is quicksand that is used in hour
glasses and egg glasses, partly becauso
of Its tineuess and partly because It
does uot eventually cloud the glass by
scratching, as would the sharp sand.
It is to its lightness that qulcksaud
owes its deadly qualities, and a dem
onstration of how It becomes "quick"
may be given by placiug a quantity
In a bucket and adding water by pres
sure through u hole in the bottom, al
lowing the water to overflow very
slowly when It has worked up through
the sand. The upward current will be
found to loosen the sand and to raise
the surface very slightly, separating
and lubricating the particles so that
they are easily displaced.
The bucket uow contains geuuino
quicksand. The sand, owing to the
; support It receives from the water,
has its weight, or supporting power.
i reduced proportionately, weighing In
i the water but thirty-two aud a half
! pounds as against ulncty-four pounds
wiieu dry. Bulk for bulk, the mixture
Is nearly twice the weight of a man.
but is too mobile to give support and
too thick to swliu iu. In its natural
state, presenting an apparently Arm
surface, resembling simply damp sand,
it is the most deadly man trap cou
I catrable.
Quicksand requires In nil cases nn
upward current which Is not quick or
strong enough to break through in
the form of a spring. Ordinarily wa
ter flowing over quicksand will not
make It dangerous. It may be formed
in tidal rivers and on the shores of
tidal seas by the rising tide saturating
a porous stratum of ground below high
water mark, and when the tide falls a
return current Is established through
the porous (saudy) ground with a suffi
cient velocity to loosen the saud and
make it "quick."
A permanent quicksand is found
where a slow current of fresh water
finds its way to the surfacc of the
sand bed either In iho bottom of a
stream or elsewhere. Quicksands that
are encountered during the sinking of
walls and foundations are due to the
Influx of water when the work gets
below "spring level" or the level of
the water in the ground at that par
ticular spot. The sand, being deprived
of the lateral support of the water in
the excavation, is pushed in from be
hind by the water curreuts flowing
from all sides.
One of the most peculiar aud grew
some characteristics of quicksand is
that It will soon engulf any object
cast upon Its surface, no matter how
light that object may be. even a per
fectly dry stick.? Harper's Weekly.
Eggs Worth Millions.
Two poached eggs on toast once
formed the foundation of the great
New York stock market. If the eggs
were eaten securities advanced in
price; if left untouched Wall street
1 shivered aud quotations crumbled.
One morniug the eggs proved worth a
thousand times their weight in gold,
for the news that they had been eaten
with relish added U per cent to ac
tive stocks. Even 1 per cent ou the
$10,000,000,000 securities listed ou the
New York exchange would be equiva
lent to ?100.000,000. By such trifles is
Wall street swayed when seized by
hysteria, when hypnotized by a per
sonality. when lost to the sound rea
son that usually governs Its actions.?

It Sounded Hopeful.
A young man who was not particu

the attention of a pretty debutante
with a lot of uulnteresting conversa
tion.
"Now, ray brother." ho remarked In
the course of a dissertation on his
family, "is just the opposite of me in
every respect. Do you know my
bt other?"
"No," the debutante replied demure
ly. "but I should like to."? Lipptn
cott's.
The Only Way.
"Is there any method that will en
able a man to understand a woman?'
queried the innocent youth.
"The only way to understand a wo
man," replied the home grown philoso
pher. "is not to try. Under these cir
cumstances she wiil reveal herself
sooner or later."? Chicago News.
No Chance of That.
The beggar accepted gratefully a
nickel from the professional humorist.
"Thank you. sir," he said, his voice
vibrant with deep feeling. "Oh, thank
you, sir, and may you live to be as
old as your jokes Washington Post.

URGE PLANT
NEAR CIRCLE
Siduey Drake, president of the Cir
cle Hydraulic Mining & Trading
company, is planning to take a large
plant into the Circle district next
year. He Is on the coast where he
will buy several horses for the neces
sary ditch work to be done next sum
mer, and these, In charge of a crew
of men, will be sent through Valder
iu March. After the concern is In
full operation he expects to have a
gang of 50 tc 60 men at work on the
ground, which having been survey
ed .stripped and otherwise gotten
i ready for action, should allow the
promoters to work at least 3,000 yard
per day.
The Valdez Prospector says sev
eral little giants will be installed and
from returns which have already
' been made in the way of sample
pans. Mr. Drake Is thoroughly con
fident that he hns a Golconda in
sight for the future.
He also intends operating a store
in the vicinity of the work, so that
his employes will not have to go to
the trouble of getting their supplies
from Circle or Fairbanks, and these
will be furnished the men at cost
plus the necessary freight.
MINI MEN
SAY LITTLE
J. H. Smead aiul John Mocine, the
mining experts from Spokane who ar
rived on the last Princess May and
went to Whltehoree. returned oil yes
terday's train and sailed south on the
Jefferson.
Messrs: Smead and Mocine thor
oughly inspected the Pueblo copper
mine near Whltehorse, and while hot
men are very reticent and refuse to
i discuss whom they represent or their
plans, it is extremely probable that
they represent a Spokane syndicate
that is negotiating for he purchase
of the Whitehorse property.

After reading the public statement
of this fellow-sufferer given below,
you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys in good
health since, can be relied upon to
perform the same work in other cas
es. Head this:
R. C. Fenton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
mont for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said In their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
the kidney secrctlons also plainly .de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint"
