Newspapers are not good history;
1t Is evident, but they can be made
useful in writing good history. News
papers are too close to events as they
happen for them to get the proper per-
spective which history should have,
but they supply contemporary senti-
ment, color and motive. which are es-
sential to the making of interesting
history.

BUTTE IS GOOD FOR
A THOUSAND YEARS
OPTIMISM OF BUTTE NEWSPA-
PER APPARENTLY BACK

Four things have come to light with
In the year that go toward assuring
the future Of Butte for countless gen.
erations to come, says the Butte Min
er. One is the proving of secondary
enrichment in some OF the camps
deepest mines, such as North Butte. A
second Is the development OF the zinc
producing industry. Another Is the
promising result Of development work
on the northwest and southeast ends
of the district. And last, but not least,
Is the established success Of the leach.
ing process at Butte g. Duluth and
Bullwhacker plants, something that
promises to revolutionize the treat
ment of low grade copper ores here
and to add a new industry to the
worlds greatest mining camp.
Greater Depth-New Processes.
It Is now certain that some Of the
richest ore In the depths in this camp
lie below the lean zone that once dis
couraged Butte engineers. The zinc
industry may yet equal the copper in
dustry here. Recent development at
the Butte & Great Falls on the north
west and at the Butte & Zenith on the
southeast. show that commercial ore
probably lies In large bodies in the
outlying sections Of the Butte dis
trict, which were heretofore consider
ed sterile And as for the teaching
processes. which have been brought
to commercial basis, the possibilities
of these new industries are boundless

Welfare Of Indian and Eskimo Locke ed
After.
! Alaska's hope, now that there Is q
western man In the chair of secretary
Of the interior, is that somebody high
in authority will take these and other
deplorable conditions to heart and
help overcome them. The government
has done so in the case of the Alaska
Indian and Eskimo. A revenue cutter
works its way through the ice of
Boring strait and the Arctic ocean
every year. just as soon as the ice be-
gins to break up, in order to visit the
little trading post at Point Barrow
(the northernmost town in America)
and supply the Indians with the ne
cessities Of life. Another example of
paternal consideration for the Indian
Is seen at the fur seal islands known
as the Pribilofs All killing Of seals
has now been stopped until the herd
is replenished, but the agent of the
government has definite orders that
seals may be slaughtered to supply
the natives with food. There Is an.
other island where the Indians were
being imposed upon by extortionato
traders who had monopoly; the sup
erintendent of education himself told
me that he had made an arrangement
whereby the government school teach
er was to open store and the rev.
enue cutter would transport the mer-
free Of charge And the r.s-
kimo shares with the Indian this
thoughtful consideration, as has been
shown by the introduction Of reindeer
herds, which have transformed some
If the Eskimos into real cattle kings.

.ELECTR|ACAT|0N OF A
MOUNTAIN RAILROAD
MILWAUKEE, WILL USE OVER.
HEAD TROLLEY SYSTEM TO
CONVEY POWER.

| Before January /, probably, the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railwa,
company will have reached a decision
as to the type of equipment to b.
employed for the extensive main-lint
lelectrification of It's railroad over thu
mountains in Montana. 1t is prac.
tically certain that the overhead trolly
system will be used to convey the
electrical energy to the motors on thu
electric locomotives.
From HarIowtown, Mont, to Avery
Idaho.
The Electrical World makes the
above statement In connection with q
financial and physical analysis Of the
proposed change. At first 1t is pro-
posed to electrify a division OF the
railroad 113 miles long, extending over
the Rocky mountains between Three
Forks and Deer Lodge, Mont. Ulti-
mately the electrifcation will be ex-
tended to that portion of the main
line between Harlowtown, Mont, and
Avery. Idaho, ain-line distance of
440 miles, and, including sidings, a
total of $50 miles of track. This work
will mean an outlay on the part of the
railroad company of perhaps $6,00O,-
900 or $S,000,0Oo, and the electrical
construction work will proceed at such
a rate that the annual expenditure
will be about $1,500O00 or $4,000, 900.
Vast Improvement Over Steam.
Experience with heavy railroad OPP
Grafton In the east shows that electric
locomotives can be run 1000 miles
without inspection there. AS there
will be no delays in the st. Paul cleo.
trification for coaling, taking on water
cleaning fires or waiting for steam
1t seems fair conclusion that the
tonnage will be handled with fewer
locomotives, higher average speed and
with regularity which will result
in better operating conditions. Pas
sengers will be able to enjoy the
mountain scenery without the annoy
ances incident to steam locomotion.
One Great Advantage.
Another point of interest is that
while the steam locomotive is at its
worst in freezing weather the electric
locomotive is at it's best at that time
since practically the only difficulty
with the electric locomotive is to keep
the motors from heating when doing
maximum work.

GOLD IN WYOMING COAL.

An interesting feature about the
coal mined at Cambria. Wyoming Is
that 1t Is claimed to be gold bearing.
Some Of the coal has contained as
much as 81 per ton In gold, and the
coal was sold for only $3.50 per ton.
When coke made at the Cambria was
selling for $3.50 per ton samples were
taken from 81 cars during period of
three weeks and assayed. The samples
showed an average Of s2.46 per ton

nation offered for the presence Of gold
In this coal Is that the sands which
submerged the old peat bog and now
form the roof Of the coal bed were de-
rived In part from gold bearing allu-
vium. While the sand was being de-
posted the gold worked down into
the underlying bog and IS now found
In the coal.

ago. has arrived at Panama on board
the steamer Melmore without the

and crew. two London ladies and
three gentlemen financially interested
In venture which was fondly hoped
to return 100 per cent. profit.
Two other unsuccessful attempts to
locate the buried gold and Jewels Of
the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz-
william and Mr.. Harold Gray did not
diminish the faith of the members Of
the Melmore expedition, who declared
they had specific information of the
exact position OF the accumulated
boards.
One treasure was actually brought
from Lima in 1920. consisting of gold
bullion and articles to the value of
about $25, 900. 900, and the other treas.
ure. which is placed at an even high.

fitted out the expedition was esti.
