GOVERNMENT RESEARCH FUND
MAY BE OF GREAT BENEFIT
Initial Appropriation Of $4,000 May
Serve to Show Advantage to
Be Gained in Future.

Congress before adjournment agreed
upon an appropriation of $4,000 to be
spent under the direction of the Blu
reau of Mines for metallurgical investi-
cations. The secretary of the interior
had recommended that the amount be
500, 900, which was sufficiently small
in itself, and the cut to $4,000 may
perhaps be regarded as immaterial.
The adoption of the principal, COM
ments Mining Science, rather than the
initial amount is the significant fact,
since 1t is we'll known that it Is very
difficult to persuade the watch dogs
of the treasury to permit new lines OF
expenditure. New lines Of expenditure
must be followed in the future.
In the hands of Director Joseph A.
Holmes, who entertains a lively sym
pathy for the interests Of the small
metal miner, the means that have been
provided will be very wisely applied
to the initiation of study of the ore
treatment problem. The preliminary
appropriation, while not large enough
for extensive engineering work. will
prove useful in the making Of lab
oratory beginning. 1t will aid materi-
ally in predicting possible advantage
to be gained from government partici-
patton in the problems of ore dressing
and in defining the limits to which the
government may rightly go. We dc
not think there Is any doubt the claim
of the small operator upon the prac-
teal interest of the government in his
welfare: how far that claim extends
is the question at Issue between those
who have favored and those who have
opposed the step.
No mention Of the governments ac-
ton should be made without reference
to the fact that the recent appropria-
ton was to great extent due to the
Influence of the American Mining con-
gress through its secretary, James F.
Callbreath, who spent the winter and
spring in Washington. 1t was this
organization which secured the estab-
lshment of the Bureau Of Mines, and
1t has since been the aim of the direct
ors to start the bureau on path of
special usefulness to the metal miners
sEl9 were the founders of the mining
c9ns.-es. Hitherto the attention of the
ft-,,+cu hrs been chiefly directed to
Tie ceai mining industry, and this has
oeugad s,mo disappointment among
The metal mine operators.

MINERS IMPRISONED
IN Tunnel At HUNTER
six MEN CAUGHT IN TRAP FROM
WHICH ALL ESCAPED UNIN.
JuRED THROUGH MANHoLE
Rock Loosensd From Roof Of Slope
Crashes Through Eight Floors
Blocking the Mouth Of Drift in
Which tho Men Were Working.

Endangering the lives Of six men
working in drift on the 75-foot level
and causing a damage that will re-
quire several days work to repair, a
large mass of rock containing some
good sized boulders, broke loose from
the roof of a stope In the Hunter mine
Tuesday afternoon, and tore It's way
through the workings on eight floors
stopping at the 75-foot level. Here
the mouth Of drift was stopped up,
and behind the obstruction SIX men
were working. These were s. Curtis
shift boss Timber Foreman PRESLEY
Ed Johnson, James Powers, VIII Magee
and Ed Swanson. That all or any OF
them escaped death is almost marvel
Gus. and they are thankful that man
hole further back in the drift gave
them way to the lower workings
through which they eventually maze
their way to the shaft.
Word reached Wallace of the acci-
dent within few minutes after II &C.
Cured, but with 1t came the assurance
that the miners were safe. They were
taken out through the shaft, none the
worse for their experience, within an
hour that seemed longer than a day tc
their fellows above, while the latter
were in doubt as to their fate.
The work of retimbering and repair
ing the loss occasioned by the falling
rock has already been commenced, ane
and will be completed within a few
dayS.

match with the Osburn giants, Stokes
and Williams, and drew down purse
Of $1,000 in cash. The championship Is
conceded to be settled in favor of the
Stewart men, and as result OF the
contest several thousand dollars Is said
to have changed hands. While the bet
ting was at even money, the Stewart
team were the favorites. The match
was one of teh most exciting ever held
in the Occur d'Alenes, and was W.T.
messed by an immense crowd. IT was
held in the baseball park at kellogg

being set up in front Of the grand
stand.
The Stewart team drilled first. Their
work was even better than that which
won them the prize of 5000 at the
Labor day celebration in Wallace or
September 2. 1t was out OF this
match that the dissatisfaction arose
leading to the deciding contest We'd

fairly won.
Sherwood and Sligo started off witt
, gait of 80 strokes to the half-minut'
shift, and maintained it to the end o
he time allotted. Stokes and Will
ans did pretty work, but did not ex

At times they fell slightly below thi

The judges were William Beaudr.

the match passed to its conclusion
without a hltch or dispute. Inc loser
accepted the announcement of tn
measurements with good grace. Stoke
stating, however, that his inability t.
turn the drill with his crippled ham
as rapidly as necessary at times con
tributed to the result. There was al
enthusiastic crowd Of rooters on ham
to cheer the Stewart team, while tn

OUTLOOK FOR SILVER
IS MOST ATTRACTIVE
CURRENT CONSUMPTION is FAR
IN EXCESS OF WORLDS
CURRENT PRODUCTION
Promised Trade Revival in 1918 Will
Create Still Greater pemand-china
Will Doubtless Become Heavier
Purchaser Of White Metal.

It is estimated that the Indian gov
eminent has purchased bar silver for
coinage to the value of about 100000
900. In thus re-entering the metal
market the government. according 70
Financial America, has reversed the
policy it has pursued for the last five
years, and while the buying is said to
have ceased temporarily it is more
than probable that from time to time
the future India will be favorable
factor in the silver market. There has
been no coinage from new material at
the Indian minis since 1907, and even
the new rupees coined out Of old coins
have been much less in value than In
former years.
The returns to the United States
mint give the amount of Indfa's total
coinage in 1910 at 5.293,241 fine ounces
Coming value $7,s17,423), and In -9Os
at $9,25S,O02 coming value, compared
with $5S,773,220 in 1908, and $4,000
1897 in 1907. The Indian government
ceased it's silver purchase because 1t
was feared that there was redund-
ancy of rupees in circulation; 1t has
bought this year because, II this re-
dundancy existed, the excess had been
absorbed by the expansion in Indian
trade and commerce, and all the indi-
cations now are for another season OF
activity and growth.
| Considering the significance Of the
figures given above it is evident that
the purchase of only $10,000,000 worth
of silver will not make up the deficit
in rupee coinage of the last few years
The stock of silver in the Indian Cur
rency department is much below last
years holdings and some London au-
thorities estimate that to bring the
supply up to normal basis, purchases
to the amount of $2O,000,000 will be
necessary Of course the government
will make its purchases as discreetly
as possible but even with the utmost
success at secrecy the influence cannot
fail to be strengthened to the price
Of the white metal. Moreover, if there
should develop general trade reviva
all over the world Gas many features
suggest is possible for 1879 there will
naturally be an increased demand fol-
silver circulation. The worlds entire
coinage of silver has been running be.
hind former records.

MARRIAGE OF THE UNFIT.

Scientists are more or less inclined to
take hopeful view of future sociolog-
ical conditions since the clergy is be-
ginning to recognize the responsibility
of the church for much of the social
decentralization growing out of the easy
marriage laws and the easier divorce
statutes. The science of eugenics is
appearing to help out the preachers
and students of sociology, and is pre-
posing regulations that promise much
for the social uplift.
The preliminary steps are being TAX
en- in this progressive movement in
several populous communities, where
clergymen are organizing to refuse TO
perform the marriage ceremony upon
the presentation Of the certificate of
reputable physician pronouncing both
parties healthy in body and mind, and
fit to undertake the obligations of the
married life. The movement is well
under way to get this requirement en-
bodied in the laws of the country, so
that at least the marriage state will be
protected against the unfit, the infect
ed and the diseased
tits argued that such system would
provoke immortality. If it did it would
confine it to the unfit and undesirabes
and such classification would put the
students of social degeneregacy ut once
in a position to treat well -defined
class, and that would not be nearly so
bad as present conditions. -Chattanoo-

WIFE Their TO ENTER
SENATORIAL RACE.
IS IN WAITING ATTITUDE
After the Democratic National
Convention at Baltimore He
Will Make up His Mind

Nashville, June 19.-Judge John
Allison of the chancery court, who has
been mentioned as probable candi-
date for U. s. senator, said today he
was not ready and did not wish to
make any statement at this time as to
what he might or might not determine
to do in the senatorial matter. "There
are good reasons" he declared, "why
| will not know for some weeks yet
whether | will be candidate in sena-
torial primary next November, chief
among such reasons being that | am
unwilling to impose my candidacy up
on my friends and democrats generally
without first giving such friends and
democrats a reasonable opportunity to
look over the situation, think and con-
suit over conditions in the party, search
out sentiment in the party and then
give me the benefit OF their judgement
and advice, for at.least the burden of
maa's candidacy falls upon his
friends and supporters-the most the
candidate can do is to help friends and
supporters elect him if he be elected.
"Another reason sufficient to cause
me to delay making delinate state
ment," he continued, sis that the
national democratic convention has
not put forth a platform, nor nomi-
mated a candidate; while of course,
will, as | have always done, abide by
the platform and support the nomi-
nee, it is not yet known what may be
put in, nor what may be left out Of
the national platform, nor whether il
will relate to present issues and con-
ditions, and 10 things that are pappen-
ing and things that ought to happen,
or will merely point with pride, etc,
reatfirm, etc, without clear, positive
affirmation, favoring specific mea 'ures
and reforms, and without positive clear
declarations against many other things
which to name would require more
time to state than I can spare.
~ still believe in the doctrines and
principals of the declaration of indie
pendence. many of which are still new
in the sense shat they have never been
uaed or put into practical effect, which
if carried into effect by appropriate
legislation, would remedy many of the
evils and wrongs with which the ma
ton is now afflicted.
at might be that after the platform
is adopted at Baltimore l would pre-
fer to continue holding court rather
than undertake publicly to eXpound
and justify platform which opposes
or does not positively favor in govern
ment such progress as is required to
meet changed and constantly chang
ing conditions in the life and affairs of
mankind"
