MIDAS MINE
 CLOSES DOWN Will Confine Work to Develop ment Awaiting Govern
 ment's Action

The miners employed at the Mi daS copper mine on Solomon gulch will be discharged for the present owing to the order pre- venting the company from making shipments over inc military re- serve.
 MT. Grigsby of the company has taken the matter up with the de- partmcnt at Washington, but it is feared that considerable time will be lost before the necessary amount of red tape can be hand led and permission secured. No one who is familiar with the sit uatiOn doubts that the matter will be arranged satisfactorily in time but 1t may be too late in the spring to permit of much ore be- ing brought down ov9f the snow while the trail is gooh.
 The shutdown-~iG throw ff- teen men out of employment, as well as making EJ<Wood's teams idle. The fOrco/Of miners en- pl0yrd are sufficient to break all the ore which the teams could haul and there is now as much ore on the dump as can be handled conveniently. Mir. Devinncy is much disappointed, as he has 20 tons of selected ore which he was anxious 10 have treated as soon as possible.
 The miners will be discharged with the exception of two OF three, who will be employed in devel- Opmcnt work. The tunnel is now in distance of I20 feet with com- mrrcial ore the entire distance. It. is figured the last so feet of ore penetrated will average between I5 and 20 per cent copper in ad- dition to it's gold values. The ore has continued to gain in value with the depth of the tunnel and samples taken from the breast re- gently show bOrnitc or peacock copper coming in.

BALMY BRITISH COLUMBIA
Aaided by Japan Current, Gulf Stream
and Chinook Winds

mo better point than Prince Rupert
can be given as an illustration of that
Canadian climate which has long been
disbelieyed by millions of people
south of the border" says a writer
in Business. Prince Rupert is stu
ated $50 miles north of Vancouver
and only 40 miles south of the Alas
kan boundary, yet its annual mean
temperature is eDout the same as that
Of Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland or
Buffalo.
During the eight months from No
vember to May of last year Prince Ru-
pert had but 81 rainy days as against
l09 at Vancouver. The coolest tenn
perature was 10 below zero. while on
February it was so above.
Not only British Columbia but the
whole of those vast fertile regions Of
New Canada lying in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan, even to Prince Albert and
FAR into the Peace river country are
given a steady and almost never-vary-
ing climate on account of the Japan
current, the gulf stream of the Paci-
tic and what are known as the Chin
Jok winds.
Starting from the east coast OF
Luzon this current passes the east
coast Of Formosa, whence it changes
It's course to the northeast and makes
lor the southwestern point 0f Japan.
It passes TO the eastward of Yokoha-
ma, and strikes northeastward TO the
Pacific coast. With it come the Chin
Jok or Chinese winds which spread
over the great wheatgrowing regions

DEATH ENDS ROMANCE
Wedding Ring and Girls Picture
Found on Body of Slain Yeggman


Montreal, March 4.-The only new
features discovered in connection with
the safe-blowing at Montreal West,
Saturday morning. when one man was
killed by the chief of the town vigil
ance committee, and four had narrow
escapes, was that a tender romance
was stopped by the yeggman's untime-
ly end.
In his clothes was found new
wedding ring wrapped in tissue pa
per, upon which was engraved. will
to Kittie, March 5, 1912"
This ring was undoubtedly meant
for the girl whose picture was pasted
in the back of pocket mirror found
on the dead man, and the wedding ex-
penses were probably to be paid for
out of the proceeds of the robbery
which ended-for him-so disastrous
ly.
The only other clue by which the
robber can be identified Is the tattoo
on the chest:
"In memory of mother and father
The detectives employed by the
Royal Bank, whose branch was attack
ed. to assist the local police in track
ing those who escaped think that the
party came up from the states. though
search in the rogues gallery has
failed to produce a picture of mar
like the burglar killed.
The locality in which the safe-blow
ing took place has been thoroughly
searched but no sign Of the foul
yeggs has been found.

1T is easy for the experienced
woodsman who knows his business to
sleep out of doors during even the
coolest weather." says I. II. CARL, a
Somerset county timber cruiser. Mr.
CARL had been exploring some timber
lands in back of the Lily Bay regions
and he spent last Saturday night
the mercury dropped to over 20 de-
grees below zero-in the open without
suffering the least discontinue. 1t all
comes from being properly prepared
and from knowing how.
II have frequently slept out all
night when the mercury was much
lower than last Saturday night" OBJ
served CARL, although | admit that
prefer the warmth and shelter of
a camp if one is available. | started
to make ready for the night perhaps
an hour and a half before darkness
and my first task was the cutting of
a sufficient amount of firewood to last
until morning. | cut down several
good-sized white birches and the logs
gave out intense heat. | piled them
together in such a manner they were
partially burned, and filed the inter
vening space with smaller wood.
"As finished the work of collecting
firewood earlier than ! had expected,
decided to put up a little birch shell
ter. cut two five foot branches,
which were crotched at the top, and
drove them as firmly as | could into
the snow Then laid another staple
across the top and still otners from
the crosspiece to the ground, so that
| had a space Of about six feet from
the two uprights to where the impro-
vised rafters rested on the snow. This
made an excellent little framework
on which | piled spruce boughs, max
ing the back and sides as nearly wind
proof as possible Then piled
spruce boughs over the snow for q
mattress and unfolded my sleeping
bag and spread 1t on them.
Take it from me there Is nothing
like a sleeping bag for comfort In
sleeping out in cold weather. Mine
was made especially for me and the
fur Is on the outside. Most of those
which are to be bought at sporting
goods establishments have the fur OF
the inside. 1t feels warm against the
body, but the bare tanned leather Is
exposed to the cold and to the wine
and they are not actually near as
warm as when the hair side is pu
on the exterior. That is the way ma
ture has clothed fur.bearing animals.

BIG VOTE IN ADAMS
independent Republican Won by
Small Margin.

independent Republican Won by
Small Margin.
The annual town-meeting was held
at Adams yesterday and DR.. A. X.
Boom, who has figured so prominent
ly in Adams politics in the past FIVE
years, defeated George f. Bolger by
the narrow margin Of 16 votes. Evil
dence OF the great contest is shown
by the fact that 1747 votes were cast
out of total Of about 1860 voters on
the list. DR.. Boom FIVE years ago
was elected selectman, served a term
OF three years, ran again and was
defeated. Bolger was the retiring
selectman and was one Of the police
officers whom DR.. Boom dropped when
he first assumed office. Bolger had
the nomination of both the republican
and democratic parties yesterday,
while Boom ran as an Independent re-
publican. The campaign had been the
most uneventful in many years.
Another contest that was very
close was for town clerk. w. s. Nor.
ton, republican, whose term was ex.
piring, defeated James L. Cadagon,
democrat, by 80 votes. License pre-
vailed by majority of 1923. Charles
Daniels, running on nomination pap
ers for constable, received the second
highest vote and was elected. He
contested with three other candidates
who had the nomination of both the
democratic and republican parties
Three constables were elected.
