granted hat the farthest backward
glimpse into the prehistoric past had
been revealed when the bewildeTing
realistic evidences Of the Homeric
past had been brought to light in the
German Schleimann's discoveries at
Troy, when all the grandeurs Homer
recounted of Agamemnon were laid
bare in the tombs of the city of the
King OF Kings" Be so far as real
testimony goes the finds" of the
Cretan explorers far surpass in his
torical value everything hitherto re-
.vealed by the spade. TO the classical
enthusiast, the c~ompendious legends
of Greek mythology have been accept
ed as evidences of the sustained i'm
down to the golden age of Greek
supremacy, but IL DIR. Evans testi-
monies be true, the widest of the
poetic imaginations were but slightly
colored narratives of fact.
There are few episodes of the myth
ologies more stirring than the adven-
lures ascribed to the semi-supernatural
~personage3 of the tale of Minos and
and fanciful adventures of Theseus,
Ariadne, the Minotaur and the "1aby-
rinth." Yet at the city Of Knossos,
the tabled capital OF Crete, DR.. Evans
has dug out evidences that these were
all actual characters; that incidents
precisely. like those embalmed in the
myths are fOreshadowed in the inscrip-
tions now brought to light, but as yet
undecipherable, because the scholars
have not yet obtained the key to the
arrangement of the letters inscribed on
multitudes of tablets and masses of
pottery. The work of DR.. Evans began
to take high Importance when he dis
closed near the present city of Gambia
the great palace of Minos,' the fabl-
ed son of Zeus and Europa. For
ages it had been a tradition anon the
early Greeks that the Cretans were a
race of liars" because they insisted
that Minos was the son Of Zeus and
that the divine burial place was on the
island.
A learned Scotsman, Professor Muir
ray, absolves the CretanS from being
the Gascons of the classic lands by the
suppositlon that Minos was not the
name of a single individual, but Of a
succession of illustrious sovereigns or
warriors, like the Pharaohs. or Caesars.
For Minos appears in the myths and
fables generation after generation, and
until the recent excavations was count
ed g, purely imaginary creation of the
poets. Until the immense mass of
clay tablets unearthed in the great
palace of Minos, as DR.. Evans declares
the colossal structure to be, are de-
ciphered the extent of the revelations
can only be conjectured. Over a thou
sand clay tablets, covered with the
writings of the scribes of the thousands
of years ago are now in the hands of
linguistic experts seeking the key to
the letters. This once gained the world
can read, as in the Journal of today
the events that interested MinOs and
his people when that race of islanders
played about the same part in the
world that Holland played in the six
teenth and part of the seventeenth
centuries.

Attack Begun Yesterday

Vera Cruz, Dec. 12.-The attack
on Tampico began shortly after noon
yesterday, the rebels advancing on
the city from various points.
General Villareal declared his in
tention of assaulting the city with
the least possible delay. He said he
had given his followers strict orders
to refrain as far as possible from
destruction OF property and TO pro
tect the Iiyes of foreigners, but he
feared they would be gravely inn
periled in the attack on the city and
the consequent fighting in the streets.
for this reason he earnestly request
ed the American authorities to take
immediate steps to remove all for
eign residents from the place.

TO ORGANIZE LOCAL
MINING CHAPTERS
EVERY COMMUNITY IN coEUR
D'ALENEs EXPECTED TO
COOPERATE.

Steps are being taken by the Idaho
Mining association to organize Local
chapters In! every part of the Occur
dAlenes. Herman j. Rossi of this city
who was largely instrumental In
bringing about the state organization,
is active in the local work, and much
general interest is manifested.
The association is capable of accom-
plishing untold good and certainly In
shoshone county, where nearly nine
fenths Of the mineral wealth of the
state is produced. there should be no
lack of interest and effort.
Mining Leading Industry Of State.
Mining Is the greatest single indus
try IN the state. 1t leads the lumber
industry. The value of its product is
considerably more than that of wheat,
oats, barley and all the cereals and
no other single industry even ap-
proaches it.
We have in Idaho as much unde-
veloped and'unprospected mineral ter
ritory as any other western state, pos
sibly more. Mining was our beginning.
1t brought into existence and was the
sole support for years of every other
industry. And today it contributes
vastly to the support of all other in
dustries Of the state.

The main surface showing is a most

bed Of the small creek which drains
the guloh, and the running water con-
stantly. exposes two fine showings of
galena ore and quartz, each several
feet in width and possibly 80 or 40
feet apart. 1t Is evident that it is one
big ledge and what underground work
has been done tends to confirm this.
While two tunnels have been run, very
little depth has been gained and the
ledge has been little developed or
there, but Where it has been
cut and slightly worked it has given
the same evidence of value and big
ness that Is seen on the surface
1t lies fairly favorable for develop
ment and all about 1t is the finest min
Ing timber that grows IF it were in

warrants And there is truth in

POSTAL SAVINGS
IN BIG FIGURES

The postal savings banks in the
Occur d'Aene district are in u pros
porous condition, according to figures
compiled by r. n. Mcleod, assistant
postmaster In the Wallace office. AT
The close of business on July 81, the
Wallace banks had postal savings
funds on deposit amounting to $94,-
o4S.20. OF this sum $4,000 was cred
tied TO the Wallace postofIice and the
balance was distributed among the.
postofiices at Mullan, Burke, Murray.

Offices depositing their surplus through
tho Wallace postofIiee TO the total
amount on deposit in the Wallace
banks should be added probably $780,

Kellogg, Wardner and Harrison. To
in postal savings banks issued to pa
irons of the Wallace office and prob
ably an equal amount in bonds issued
TO patrons Of other offices in the dis
trict. A conservative estimate would
therefore place the amount of postal
savings deposits now in the several Of

gether with the amount invested in

CHANGE. IN MINING LAW.
The Chiefly Important Points That
Have Been Dealt With.
(Mining Sciencel


In view of the recommendations
that the committee of Mining and
Metallurgical Society have already
published, much that appears in the
communications of various members
need not be taken seriously. The
committee Is properly conservative, II
does not recommend government leas-
ing, nor the segregation of mineral and
surface rights. It recognizes the
weakness Of the present law which
most students of it have acknowledg-
ed. These undoubted weaknesses are
Cd the requirement Of discovery be-
fore the possessory right can be in
itlated, (2) the uncertainties arising in
the case of placer locations, 90 the
insutiiciency of location notices. when
should rightly be filed with some gov
ernment land Office. ca the absence of
the right of appeal to the courts in
controversies between the locator and
the government, (5) the lack of ade-
quate provisions concerning petrol
cum, phosphate and other mineral To-
cations of the rare types, and (6) the
difficulties arising under the apex
right. While the committee is oppos-
ed to piecemeal revision of the law
and suggests the appointment of
commission to propose
the desired changes, 1t Is probable
that the change could be made by in
dividual amendments. As we have
pointed out, the danger Turk
ing in the commission plan Is that ~
may open the way to legislation of a
Stacking nature.
