OFF FOR WAR
Thomas Culley Leaves Putnam to Fight
 in English Army
Is Veteran of B0er War and Used to
 Army Lie

"Why don't you come home and give your services to your eountry?' was the question which Mrs, Thomas Culley in England propounded to her husbsnd in Putnam in letter which he received Monday. It was not long before Culley answered the summons, packed his bag and left on the after noon express for New York where he will take the first available ship for passage to England and the firing line.
 MT. Culley iS well known in Putnam having been employed at the City Hotel a number of years. He left for his home in England about year ago saying that he was going to make 1t his home but the wanderlust seized him and he left again. Just previous to coming to Putnam he had been a steward in the United Fruit Compa- ny's ship TiViVes out of Bosiou This ship was the first to change her regis tration after the new law went into ef- feet and exchange the Union Jack for the Stars and Stripes. Culley was thrown out of a job and came to Put nam week ago. He received letters from acquaintanees and friends at home and the fighting fever was ris. ing when the summons from his wife quickly decided him to return and don the uniform which he has worn before.
 Culley was a member of a Brisish regiment during the Boer war and be- ing under fire is no new experience for including the big transatlantic liners and trip across the ocean is no more to him than means of getting from one place to another. He has sailed the seas in all parts of the globe and had varied experiences and adventures although he is modest of speaking about them. When he left Monday it was not with the illusion that he was starting on pleasure jaunt but he ex- poets to see real service and he know $ what that means.
 Culley has two brothers in the ser vice, one member of the crew of H. NJ. $. Grafton, now of the fleet that is keeping the German navy bottled up the Kiel canal, and another, A mem- Der of marine corps lies wounded in a French field hospital, a victim of German gunnery in the Belgium cam paign.

Hospital Wants Preserves.

The ladies of the Woman Hoard of the Day Kimoall hospital have sent out an appeal to the always generous supporters of that institution for canned fruits ,and preserves. These articles are necessaries in the sick room and more are needed. Perhaps the high cost of sugar has caused some what of falling off in the quantity so far received and if 50, more eontriou- tors will be needed if smaller quanti- ties are received from each. No insti- tuition in eastern Windham county Is doing better.or more humane work than the hospital and il is confidently believed that this appeal will be gem eronsly responded To. Jars may te had of Miss Marion N arfen or Mrs. II. J. Ihayef.

by one, pulled up their stakes and left
the country. Little of any consequence
occurred until about % years ago
when II new excitement broke out and
the whole country was again located.
But these locations all became per-
manent and are still working with
more or less success.
This section is divided into two dis
triets--the silver and lead districts To
the north of the st. Regis river, and
the copper district In the south Of the
St Regis. The first discoveries were
made about 30 years ago on Packer
creek, when the Tarbox mine was To-
Gated. A shaft has been sunk to Il
depth Of 500 feet or more but the for
est fires in 1911 destroyed all the
buildings, hoist and a portion of the
shaft and little il anything has been
done on the property since, although
at the time of the fire the mine was In
full operation and there was a first
class showing. This forest fire was
Il. serious blow To The whole country
as all cabins, shafts and tunnel ap-
proaches were destroyed and ii is only
this year that a determined effort Is
being made in the line of Development

mill. The Black Traveller and Sal
tese Consolidated mines are located
DIN this creek. ....
South of the river ana three miles
east is Iiaugan, a Milwaukee railway
point. East half a mile is the mouth
Of Big creek. ON Big creek is the
principal supply of timber for the
Mann Lumber company. 4 million
feet of logs are being brought out
now from an area recently purchased
from the forest service. 10 handle

is operating a logging railroad five
miles long. At the head of the creek
is tho famous Buffalo mine. n copper
property, now within two and q half
miles of the railroad.
On the same side Of thu. river half
a mile west of town is Deer creek,
the trail from the west end into the
Clearwater country--a trail followed
by hundreds of hunters and campers
each season. The Gold Chance mine
gold proposition, is located here
and has been producing for some
time. The Deer creek Mining and
Milling company has expended $3.50

Additional receipts for the balance
ofthis fiscal year will probably bring
this up to about $4,000. The receipts
for the next fiscal year will prob-
ably amount to somewhere in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and possibly
as high MS $4,000. For the next
three or four Years after that the am
nual receipts should run about $4,000.
It has been caculateti from the pres
ent stand Of understandable timber aud
the rate of growth that the Lolo fer
est can produce approximately thirty
million feet annually fer an indefinite
period. At an average rate OF 81 per
thousand feet this would amount to
$4,000 annual lily, There is q possihil-
ity, however, that the more accessible
timber will he cut eut in five or six
years aud unless tmIer prices have,
in the meantime, increased sufficient
~ to justify logging more inaccessi-
bic areas, there may be a period Of
few years when the annual receipts
will suffer some reduction.
st. Regis District.
1t is IA miles from Superior to st.
Regis and the valley along the route
offers little change from that section
already described. There is better
timber in the mountains and this
finds it's outlet nj St Regis, the lum-
bering center of the county and an
important railroad point The Mil
Waukee crosses the river here on the
largest steel trestle in the county, un-
der the west end of which is a via
duct fer the Northern Pacific tracks
This junction Of roads--the Milwau-
kee and the Paradise and Wallace
branches of the Northern Pacific
moved all that WAS left of the old
town, except the postoffice conducted
in general store building, up to this
point, one row of stores being on the
second bench high above the river and
the other line OF buildings, including
the hotel and a number of residences,
being on the same level with she
Northern Pacific station. Twenty five
trains day pass through St. Regis
on both roads. On the Northern Pa
cific all business originating on the
Wallace branch is brought here and
left for the local trains on the main
line east and west This is the trans
fer point OF all through freight of the
same road for all towns in the county
and all the way to Wallace.
The Daily Missoulian., 1914-07-05

Right at its door this junction town
has 5000 acres Of fine farm land all
cleared. In every direction are many
acres Of uncleared stump land which
is just being opened to settlement.
There is an opportunity here for II
thriving agricultural community.
But st. Regis is essentially mill
ing town. A mile from the junction
is the big mill of the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company which compares
very favorably with this eompany's S
mills at Bonner and Hamilton. When
it is running full capacity st. Regis
has splendid pay roll and a popula-
ton of from 800 to 500 Two smaller
mills, one owned by led Riberdy and
the other by n. A. Lung, are close
at hand. All three cut about $4,000
feet of lumber per day. They arc
backed by timber supply to keep
them operating ut capacity for from
80 to so years.
De Boreia.
From here the route west leads up
the st. Regis river. It's valley is too
narrow for farms of amy extent al
though it opens out at DE Borga, an
other contender Tor county-seat hon.
ors. The forest fires of 1910 wiped
the old town completely off the map.
But from the ashes came a new DE
Borgia, larger and better than the old.
Its business houses number nine,
these including the Cooper x Therri-
ault mill which employs about SO
men. De Borgia is the center of am
other rich district of numbering and
mining. Besides it's own mill, that OF
the Mann Lumber company at Hen
derson three mites east, is Il: big pro-
ducer, the second largest plant in the
county. Two miles west is the new
shingie mill which is utilizing the
cedar forests OF the west end and is
turning out 10000 shingles per day.
This is the only shinge mill in west
ern Montana.
DE Rorgia has a lot of we'll devel-
oped tributary country. ON the north
side of the river the Twelve Mile val
ley is Il fertile patch Is miles long.
Twin creek, directly north or the town
is the home of half a dozen prosper
Gus ranehers and holds some prons-
ing mining claims. Logging opera
tions on Twin creek now involve Il
two mile haul by team.
AT the mouth of Savenac creek is
the forest nursery which is growing
young trees to replant the dennded
slopes of this field district. Above
this are several large ranches. This
is the pass through the mountains to
Thompson Falls and will he the route
of the electric power line from that
place to be delivered TO the Milwau-
kee at Hangar. There is rcl
stand Of timber on this creek and the
A. G. M. company will probably con-
struct railroad to bring this to the
