Down In Arkansas,

Editor the Missourian: have found
the short personal notes that appear
in the Missourian from time to time
from the alumni very interesting and
entertaining. /, for one, would be
glad to read more of them. Some
alumni I notice have been proclaim
ing their lonesomeness. So to those
particularly I am writing this echo
from Arkansas.
I can appreciate to the fullest ex-
tent all that has been written on the
subject of lonesomeness. for what can
be more lonesome than life in a levee
camp in Arkansas? However, we re-
Gently have been having occasional
diversions, but even then we could not
refrain from feeling a certain home
sickness stealing around our hearts.
The particular respite to which re-
fer was not occasioned by the allur-
ing temptations for strolling offered
by the pretty spring days. For alas! !
although We have the time and the
place the girl we have not.
1t was not the sunshine that tempted
us this time but rather the darkness
with its bowling. angry elements.
Neither was our temptation altogether
from love for such wildness of na-
ture. but rather from our fear Of its
effects upon our domicile.
Indeed, the temptation to trust my
self to the elements outside our tent
would have been too strong for me to
resist had It not been for the presence
OF those more experienced in camp
life. And for once. at least, with the
thunder pealing on every side, the

a spirit of militarism. But, according

the purpose is not to create a wal

tive and romantic force that military
discipline inspires.
The boy scout movement was found.
ed by General Baden-Powell Of the
British army. He says that the good
people who attack the boy scout idea
because of its alleged war spirit fall
utterly to comprehend the real pur-
pose and results of the work He cites
as defense the law of the boy scouts
and the oath which every boy must
take. The scout law commands the
boys to be trustworthy. loyal, help
full, friendly. courteous, kind, obedient,
cheerful, thrifty, brave. clean and rev.
erent. The oath is: Il will fulfill my
duty to God and my country, obey the
scout law, help others always, keep
physically strong. mentally awake and
morally straight"
Any movement that seeks to culti-
vate the twelve qualities mentioned in
the scout law should be commended
by all thinking people. And it does
not seem that the oath required can
inspire anything but the best type Of
citizenship. Indeed, may not the boy
scout movement well typify that newer
ideal for the use of military force and
discipline-not the idea of martial
strife, but of service in time of peace
to those in distress from want and
natural catastrophe? Just recently a
great service was seen for the army
in time of peace And the boy scout
movement seems to suggest the ex-
elusive purpose of military discipline
in the future.

VICTORIA MINE IS
SUBJECT Of DEAL
Reports Say That Property
Soon Will Have DIFF

The Eureka Reporter has the following
interesting account OF d deal which Is re-
ported to be pending whereby the Eagl,
Sc Blue Bell company may acquire tn,
Victoria Consolidated territory adjoining
1t In the Tint!c camp;
II is generally understood here in
Tintic that a deal is now pending for
the sale of the Victoria mine. or at
least the controlling interest IN this
property. TO one Of the companies
that is operating in that neighbor-
hood. The Victoria would be q valu-
Blue Bell, the Chief Consolidated or
Grand Central, and local mining men
seem to think that ii there is any
thing to the report that sale is
about to be consumna ted one Of these
companies will be found close at ma nd
when the stock is transferred.
The recent strike in the Eagle &;
Blue Bell has practically given this
company new mine, putting 1t IN
the dividend paying class. and moth
ing would be more natural than for
the management TO commence reach
ing out for some OF the adjoining
ground. The Chief Consolidated peo-
pie have always been In the market
for adjoining property and during the
past few years they have taken over
number OF very valuable claims. At
the present llfne tnere is no OppOf-
tunity OF learning anything of def
mite nature. but persistent rumors in
dicate that some Of the largest share
holders OF the Victoria have given
an option on their holdings.
Even at 81 share II would not
take a very large sum of money TO
purchase the control Of the Victoria,
as this company was organized be-
fore million share corporations came
into favor.
The Victoria property is fast being
put into condition for the rapid ex-
traction OF ore and those who have
been underground during the past few
months say that the mine was never
in better shape, and that II Is des-
tined to become one OF the heaviest

COPPER OUTPUT AT
THE BUTTE DISTRICT

Word from Butte is 10 the effect that
unless the Anaconda company should de-
eide to curtail It's output this month on
account of the low price Of red metal, the
production for July would run very close
TO 10000 600 pounds. At present the big
company is operating all its mines and
smelters on regular lines and curtailment
is not anticipated. The Washoe smelter
Is receiving better than $4,000 tons per
day, and very close TO 1000 is being
shipped to the Great Falls smelter,
Anaconda will be shipping It's ore to
the Washoe smelter by electricity by not
later than October 1. The work of cleo
trification is we'll advanced. At the pres
ent time the steam locomotives are a
thing of the past in the yards OF the
Butte. Anaconda & Pacific railroad. as
just as soon as an ore train reaches the
yard the electric locomotive takes hold Of
1t and conveys it on what is known as the
high line to the snelter. Not only has 1t
been demonstrated that the electric loco
motive can haul nearly twice as many
cars as the steam locomotive, but the
electric machine makes much better time
and the cost is at least 35 per cent less
The transportation charges on ore to the
Anaconda company will be considerably
less next year as result Of substituting
electricity for steam. and this will, Of
course. mean a further reduction In the
cost Of production.

ISSUE NE Al REPORT
UPON TUNNEL WORK
Long Bingham Bore Brought
to Point Where Results
Are Expected.

! The Utah Metal Mining company. op-
Grating in Bingha has issued state
,nent to the shareholders setting forth the
| fact that the ii. .494-foot tunnel from the
| Bingham to the Tooele side OF the
Oquirrh range of mountains has been
completed, the tunnel being electrically
lighted and electrically equipped through
out During this distance, several min
eral veins have been cut. OF which ten
give promise of leading TO ore deposits
and which will be developed by drifting
and raising.
Set forth in the statement is the in
formation that the company has closed
contract with the Utah Copper COM
pany, whereby the latter acquires water
for its steam boilers. the amount to be
taken being 800, 900 gallons a day. The
company has q daily flow OF $50. 600 gal
Ions OF water, which will be sold and the
proceeds from which should meet inter
est on the bonds and provide funds
needed for development purposes. The
company also expects the proceeds from
to afford a generous income.
The statement contains considerab BILE OF
interest TO those concerned, and the
prospects held out for the future are most
encouraging. There are maps and illus
ira ations in connection with the report
that plainly show the route of the COM
panys tunnel and the properties which
IN all reason should be benefited by the
completion OF this work. The tunnel was
driven through hard rock most Of the
way, but the cost is stated TO have been
low In comparison with other work OF
like character throughout the coun-
try.

RICH COPPER ORE

Ground Below the Seventh
Level Known to Hold Fu-
ture Tonnage.

H. c., Joy Of the Nevada Douglas Cop
per company IS back at his local desk
from q months visit TO the property.
The Nevada Douglas company, ne stat
on Saturday, is bending more energy at
the present time upon developing new
sections OF the property and In rounding
out improvements whereby future pro-
duction may be more economically con-
Quoted than upon ore shipments, al
though the output at the present time
ranges from $50 to 200 tons OF orc daily.

Development work OF interest Is being
done at present on the eighth level. Some
months ago the management was driy-
Ing winze below the seventh level at
a point about 500 feet south of the ma In
incline shaft. After depth Of seventy
five feet was gained water drove the
miners out, but 1t happened that the
Who'll, Whole Ludwig property was drained by
was able to drive drift toward the In
cline at depth Of fifty feet in the
winze.
Good grade ore was found all the way
in the winze. while the drift has opened
some magnificent copper ore, the rock
being bornite, chalcopyrite and native
copper. The mana cement is now drift
eighth station, and this drift is now
seyenty-five feet from the shaft Event
ually this drift will connect with the
,winze, by which time everything should
DC In condition for low cost mining.
Some interesting results are being
found on the 600-foot level In the foot
wall country, Heretofore all the high
grade copper ore produced BY the COM
come from the hanging wall country
On the foot some very fine grade copper
ore is being opened, and this inspires the
expectation that when the foot country
has been given the same attention as
the hanging the management will find
splendid results. and this is something
entirely new.
At the Douglas Hill section Of the
energy upon development work, produc-
ton being limited to such ore as Is nee
essarily extracted in development effort
The most encoura ging results right now
are coming from the Casting Copper sec
ton OF the mine There are two levels
being driven, one the tunnel, where the
company has 100 feet OF backs. and the
10o-foot level below the tunnel. The
management on the tunnel level has a
full face Of close to 7 per cent ore oc-
curing upon great lime contact. The
company engineers have traced this con-
tact for long distance on the surface.
and they feel that conditions are such
that the Casting Copper will in time be
better than the Douglas Hill, while some
go so far as to predict that IT Will equal
the record Of the Ludwig.
Shareholders will be interested In the
news that the Smith Valley Mercantile
company and the transportation COM
pany which will handle the freight into
Aurora with the w. z. Reading COM
pany. have been consolidated, and a new
company will be organized in which the
Nevada Douglas company will have a
substantial interest. The capitalization
OF the new company will be between
