taken as a model for law in each
state establishing such system. TO
this should be added prohibition Of
strikes until public inquiry into the
dispute has been held, as in Canada.
In Colorado. as In other states. the
authorities are largely responsible for
the strike through their non enforce
ment of the S-hour, check weighman
and company store laws. Preservation
of peace would also be promoted by
establishment of an adequate state
|constabulary, which would render UNI
necessary the employment of private
guards. Presence Of guards hired by
employers is a constant source of ir-
ritation to miners and creates bad
blood. which causes strikes on slight
grounds. The great majority of the
strikes are without real excuse and
are relic of barbarism which should
be done away with by the rule of rea-
son.

FISH HATCHERY
TO Be ON LAKE
TeMPERATURe IN STREAMS VAR.
les TOO MUCH AND Is GEN.
ERALLY TOO COLD.

David Burrill of American Falls
chief deputy game warden of the state
arrived in the city yesterday and left
this afternoon. Mr.. Burrill is a broth
er of former Lieutenant Governor
Burrill and Is prominent in the politi-
served several terms In the Legislature
from oneida county, and has an ex-
tensive acquaintance In north Idaho
when asked regarding the fish
hatchery which will soon be establish
ed in this section of the state, Mr.
Burril stated that the matter had
been reduced to three practical prop
lositions, namely: Place the hatchery
on a float on Occur d'Alene lake. place
the hatchery near the shore and pump
water from the lake. or locate 1t at
Post Falls. The last named has the
advantage of grade for changing wa
ter in the hatchery, which Is an adj
vantage when 1t Is considered that 1t
| Is necessary to handle 100000 gall

not considered likely that the people
of this section and parts of Kootenai
county would contribute toward the
construction of a plant at Post Falls,
and for that reason Post Falls may
be regarded as eliminated. In fact, it
now seems practically settled that the
plant will be located on the lake, and
the main question to be settled Is
whether 1t will be built on a float ur
on land.
Mr.. Burrill states that 1t was impos
sible to utilize Placer creek or other
mountain streams In this vicinity on
account of lack of uniformity In the
temperature of the water With wa
ter at 80 degrees II would require six
months to hatch the eggs and another
six months for the fish to reach size
large enough to plant in streams. 1t
is plain that this consumes too much
time, and Mr.. Burrill says for prac-
teal purposes the water must not be
below 40 degrees and AZ is better

Estate WITHOUT A NINE"
Nebraska Comes Closest to Earning
the Title.

Nebraska has been termed "the
state without a NINE" and possibly
within the strict Interpretation If
what constitutes a mine this statement
may be true. The state however, con-
tributes to the total mineral produce
ton of the United States in the uti-
lization of it's clay deposits, the dig
ging Of sand and gravel the quarrying
of stone. the marketing of mineral
waters, the manufacture of sand-lime
brick, and the output of volcanic ash
or pumice. In the production of pum-
ice Nebraska ranks first among the
states with almost complete monopoly
of the production, according to L. w.
Parker, of the United States Geologi-
cal Survey, less than ! per cent OF the
total output of pumice coming from
other states More than half of the
total production of the state is OBJ
tanned from the clay pits, which IN
1912 furnished products valued at
1905, 1913 out of total of $1,490, $50.

NATIONAL MOTORS

TWO ARRIVED THIS WEEK AND
WILL SOON BE IN OPERA
HOMELAND BRAKES.

Two powerful motors for the cleo
trio railway connecting the National
mine and mill were received last week
and the line will soon be ready for
them to be placed in operation. A
new feature Will be introduced here
which has not been necessary In other
mines of the district using electric
haulage. The motors are equipped
with air brake appliances which will
enable the motorman to keep the
train under perfect control when COM
ing down the grade. If for any rea-
son the air should not be in working
order the cars are provided with hand
brakes for use in such emergency. In
the other mines Of the district the
tracks are practically level and this
provision Is unnecessary.

THE COST OF LIVING.

Free Trade.

1t now costs eight per cent more

ordinary things to eat required by
the average American family. In the

These are the figures compiled by
the bureau of labor statistics Of the
Department of Labor. The results
were obtained by inquiries made in
forty of the most important cities
throughout the country.

TRIcrs-sMELTER GETS IT.

In an Advance Chapter from Min
eral Resources of the United States,
Calendar Year 1872 issued by the
geological survey. Shoshone county IS
credited with $1S,313.604 mineral pro-
duction in that year. This probably
is the most accurate statement of pro-
duction available from any quarter.
The government has sources of infor-
nation covering a wider range than
possessed by those acting locally in
these matters.
South Fork Produced $4,000 Gold in
1912.
For instance, In 1912 there was pro-
duced by the mines of Mullan, Canyon
logg as much as $4,000 In gold AL
though 1t is generally known our sill
yer-lead ores carries a small amount
of gold, 1t Is likely to be surprising
that a years product reaches the fig
ure above mentioned.
Smelter Gets Nearly All Of II
Mine owners Of the Occur d'Alenes,
except in few instances, get no re-
turns for this gold. According to a
reliable authority on this subject, the
usual contract under which the miner
sells ore to the smelter the latter Is
not required to account for gold where
the value is under 81 per ton. How
ever, all contracts are not along these
lines, the smelter paying for all that is
In the ore. Then again the gold value
some times exceeds ST, though this
does not often occur.
The same mine manager said the
tendency is for the small gold value
to even decrease with depth. Gener-
ally speaking. the Occur d'Alene ore
producer got a very small part of the
$4,000 in 1912
The value of the metals produced in
each district during that year is Of
interest, noting particularly the gold
product
Hunter District (MuIlan).
The output of the district from four
deep mines was 5S5,611 tons of ore,
which contained $23,215 in gold; L.

A conference of % Colorado editors

promptly acceded. For what reason
the strike is continued is difficult to

for the right to trade at any store
they please are upheld as In accord
ance with the law, and the conference
says these rights should be guaran-
teed, as also should the general en-
forcement of the mining laws.
The demand o fthe miners aboli-
ton of the guard system Is not up
held for the reason that guards are
maintained "as matter Of police pro-
lection against ordinary disturbances
and against possible damage to prop
erty In times Of petty brawls.." 1t Is
held that so long as they are main
tanned for this purpose. there Is no
good or legal reason for their re-
moval"
The editors say that all competent
striking miners not guilty of viola
tions Of law should be taken back.
They commend Governor Ammons for
sending troops to the mines, but say
the troops should be adequate IN num-
Der and that the National Guard
should be recruited to meet conditions
as they arise" They say also that
until the National Guard may be safe
ly withdrawn martial law should pre-
vail. They request the governor 20
prevent importation of arms "by any
individual or organization, because no
one has a right to bear arms except
those legally authorized"
When so fair settlement is so
promptly accepted by one party to the
dispute. why could 1t not have been
reached by both before the strike be-
gan and thereby have prevented weeks
of bloodshed, strife, destruction and
ideness? Because the state provides

HON.R. 5. WARNOCK AN-
 NOUNCES FOR CONGRESS

Hon. R. s. Warnock' formal announcement for Congress from the Seventh Congressional Dis trict appears elsewhere in to- days News.
 Mir. Warnock has all the quail ficatiOns necessary to represent the people in this position. Starting at the bottom round of the ladder he has, step by step, in spite of diversity, steadily forged to the front in political and commercial life, by reason of his force of character, natural ability and persistent study, ap' plying himself closely for many years, especially on state aud national affairs until now he stands second to none in state craft.
 In 1904 Colum bia county se lected him to act as court house com missioner, and after the court house was, general praise fell to him for it's magnificence, the wonder being how it could be possible for such a magniti- cent building to be erected with so little money, less than S5O,OO0.
 He was elected to represent his county in the legislature of 1909 and 1911 by the largest ma jority ever given to any candi- date for this position. His stand in the legislative halls was always on the right side for the great masses of the common people. He is the author of our present State Depository Law, and under its present operation the state is now receiving from three to seven per cent. on all funds not being used.
 When the camp paign IS thoroughly opened Mir. War nook will visit all parts of this district and we ask the voters of Nevada county to give him their earnest consideration before pledging their support.
