The issues of the present campaign wholly economic.
There be times when moral question ought be decided

1t is hard for a today's man, as he
leans back in his sack suit and tries to
think. imagine a time when the
easy :; comfortable bobtail coat was
yet unknown and all coats sported
tails.
The sack suit originated in France
in the thirties, about the same time
that our trousers took their present
shape. 1t is possible that the two in
novations were correlated, as the
changes in coat and trousers have al
ways gone hand in hand. France was
the mother of the sack when it was
developed from the French blouse, a
garment of coarse linen worn by la
borers and peasants. The new coat
was at first worn only by laborers
but before long it became very fash
ionable in France. 1t did not cross
the English channel until 1916 and
was not worn in this country much
until after the civil war. In fact, Il
was. the war uniform Of the soldiers
that gave its introduction to the Amer
ican public. The soldiers found ou
the merits of the short coats. so civil
ian short coats became popular. The.

DEVELOPMENT
HAS STARTED
Work on Different Properties
Now Underway.
Major Opens Pay Ore on Extreme
West End.

With the coming of spring,
the usual assessment and devel-
opment work has commenced.
While on most claims the ground
is full of water, and the work
has to be confined to tunnels or
open cuts where drainage can be
had, there is more development
under way than is usual at this
time of the year.
On the Major group, Mike
Bagley, one of the owners. has
opened new ground, and has A
fit. of good quartz that pans, and
gives promise of making good.
This find is on the extreme west
end of the claims, where no work
has ever been done. The Major
group has been opened on the
east end, or American river
slope by three shafts that have
been sunk about 90 ft. each. In
all these shafts good ore has
been found. 1t is possible that
arrangements can be made tC
mill some of the ore this summer
On the Last Chance mine the
work has been confined to get
ting out ore, and doing some de
veloping. 1t is expected tha
water can be put through the
ditch in a short time, when the
mill will be started.
Aside from these propertie'
several are doing assessmen
work and on some properties ;
great deal of development i
under way.
The Mineral Zone will receiv,
attention as soon as the weathe
conditions will permit.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Accepted value for the weight
of a dense crowd of people has
been for nearly a century about
100 lb. per square foot, allowing
for the kinetic effects of crowds
on bridges, buildings, and other
structures.
Gold production of the world
in 1912, as estimated by the Min
ing Magazine, was valued at
$472, 800, 900, 10 per cent of which
is an estimated, as the exact out
put from certain countries is
never obtainable.
Silver has been found in Mis-
souri, in quartz veins in the pre-
Cambrian crystalline rocks. The
lead found in the sedimentary
rocks contains a small amount
only of silver, and reported dis
coveries of silver deposits, using
the term in it's usual sense, war
rant little attention.
Mineral lands withdrawn by
the United States Geological
Survey, under authority, during
the fiscal year 1912, amounted to
400, 900 acres for oil, and 1, ,2OO,-
900 acres for phosphate reserves;
$50, 600 acres for water-power,
and 60,0 acres for irrigation
reservoir sites; and $4,000 acres
for public water reserves, essen
tial to the control of public graz
ing lands.
