INTERFERING WITH
MINING
STRIKE DELAYING ERECTION OF
STAMP MILL IN SQUILLCHUCK
CANYON ON ACCOUNT OF NON
DELIVERY OF LUMBER.

II. Leighton. who is in charge of
the big mining operations in the
Squillchuck canyon, is having con-
siderable trouble on account of the
non-arrival of the big timbers for
the stamp mill. He leaves today for
Skykomish and the Sound in an ef-
fort to get these moved. The stamps
are already here. There are six
500 pound stamps These drop 10
times per minute and have capacity
of about Is tons per day. Mining
men who are acquainted themselves
with the ore body and the method of
treating it on this big property have
no hesitancy in saying that if th-
tests that have been made are borne
out by the tests OF the stamp mill that
this will be the biggest low grade
property in the world. Foot tests on
this give values close to 81 per ton
and handled on a large scale, as is
contemplated, the cost of mining and
treatment should not be over 60
cents, leaving a substantial profit for
the owners. Nature has assisted ma
terially in the location of this ore
deposit There is an abundant water
supply for milling purposes, electric
power developed, an endless dump
for the waste and gravity system
for supplying the mill with ore,
Were the conditions not absolutely
ideal it is safe to say that the own
ers would not undertake to handle
ore of this low grade. Should the
tests of the mill prove satisfactory
the plant will be increased and put
on a strictly labor-saving basis.
Already the new owners in land
and mining operations have expeni-
ed close to 1925, 900 and expect to
expend a great deal more before the
mine is on a paying basis. Mr..
Leighton is a well posted mining man
and does not give the appearance OF
the ordinary hot-air promoter usu-
ally found around a mining camp
He has figured this proportion on a
| business basis and as such he is en-
deavoring to develop, il successful
the greatest low grade proposition
in the world He expresses himself
very grateful to the city council In
making concessions for water power
to the county officials for road faciIi.

Of liquor at the time the crime was
attempted. Oakes was convicted in

been abandoned and Oakes has al
ready served some seven months as
an inmate of the county jail, The

lowing letter from Oakes. 1t is a
rambling letter but yet contains some
wholesome advice to the young. II
is as follows:
Editor Daily World: Please pub
lish these few lines from me. / am
sorry to state that the crime of which
I am accused and convicted means
that | must go to the penitentiary
to serve from one to IA years for
something that / do not believe that

Gated that I ever had any intention
of committing the crime against this
little girl. l have been in this jail
going on seven months and I have
! failed to raise money to appeal my
case to the supreme court, SO I will
have to go to the penitentiary foI
some term of years. I do not know
how long as | am a poor boy and
have no relations in this part of the
country and I may have to serve the
Rivers, Virginia, and my sister lives

that will write them and tell them
of my going to the penitentiary a:
my heart is broken ani | am ruined
for life and have disgraced my poo
father and sister by going behind tn,
prison bars for this term of years fo'
being sick and on account OF drink

advice to the world is that I hop,
that my case will be a warning to tn,
young boys of your city and countr.
to leave whisky alone. Do not g
away and leave your folks where yol
have no friends, for you can see m.
end. My days for pleasure are over
I have tried to do right and make m.

COMMISSION MAY INTERFERE.

While it is stated in New York
that traffic officers of he Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads have issued bulletins that they
were accepting all freight to the
without any restrictions.
yet in the west the strike situation
does not seem to be clearing very
rapidly. In Seattle and Spokane
some freight is being handled. Yes
terday a bunch of Portland switch
men were expected for work in the
Spokane yards and four engines are
working there In Seattle the freight
embargo was expected to be lifted
yesterday. The Associated Press re-
ported yesterday that four switchmen
were put to work here but this is in
error and Jud French is working
alone The crew which went out at
Leavenworth has not been replaced
and nothing is being done there.
There is no freight being received
in the local office and while French
is working yet the strike situation is
felt very keenly here. The report
comes from the Sound that it is the
intention of the state railroad COM
, mission in conjunction with the COM
missioners of the other states to
force the two big railroads to oper-
ate and to adjudicate the labor trou-
bles later on.

strike breakers coming west: to lift

to arrive in Everett Wednesday, and
their coming leads to a belief that
more trouble will be precipitated for
the railroads, inasmuch as the brake
men are apt to walk out. The
switchmen say that they will take
no steps to interfere with strike
breakers in case they arrive, saying
that if necessary they will secure the

A further statement issued by the

favorable for their side.

But imperative and irresistible as is the
demand for primary and secondary edu-

Brooklyn is even greater. Such institu-
tons as The Polytechnic. the Adelphi. the
Hospital and the Brooklyn Institute of
Arts and Sciences. together with other
institutions, are of great beneft TO this
community.
Without them we should be common
place-indeed, a community to which the
whole world could point its finger with
scOrn. These institutions, already doing
a great work IN BROOKLYN, need to be
four times as influential. We need to
strengthen these institutions. The small
state Of Vermont with one-ffth the popu-

colleges and many academies and high

with the opportunities for education as
