No Crime to Melt Coin.

There Is no law in the United States
against melting gold coin so as to en-
tirely destroy it's identity as money.
The crimes against coinage consist in
sweating or in any way removing
part Of the metal in the coin without
rendering 1t unfit for circulation. 1t is
OF course, crime to attempt to recon
the metal when once melted, or even to
have in ones possession dies or ma
chinery which might be used for coun-
terfeiting purposes. While coins may
be used by jewelers. in the British en-
pre-, 1t Is against the law to melt any
coin. Sweating" coins has been done
recently in Australia with disastrous
results to those engaged in this Illicit
work.

CRATER LAKE.

Within the crater of Mount Mazama,
Oregon. is sub-crate which forms
an island in the midst of Crater Lake.
The lake is surrounded by the high
volcanic rim Of the mountain the water
filling in the opening which once
spouted fiery lava and desolated the
surrounding territory. Wizard Island,
the sub-crater, has long puzzled scien-
lists. 1t is heavily wooded and the
crater within, which rises 500 feet
above the level Of the lake is filed
with snow the year around. How
deep it is has never been ascertained.
The lake around the inside crater Is
about 1000 feet deep, with wonderful
ly clear water. The mountain Is In
the center of the national park which
was recently set aside.

FREE TRADE IS HARD

Wallace, Idaho, May 25.

Wallace, Idaho, May 70.
To the Editor of The Miner:
The tariff has been since the begin
the most vital question before the
people We preach to the American
people to buy at home. Be patriotic
and buy from your neighbor and keep
your money at home, but how many
do this? We get catalogues from mail
order houses with cheaper goods and
with the aid of parcel post we are able
to save few cents on a given article,
but what will that profit us in the
end? If we have no community we
are so isolated that there Is no lite.
One writer says if we can't get things
at home as cheap as at other places,
go to the other place to buy. He
doesn't take into consideration the
fact that he Is making more money in
that particular locality than he couiu
get where he sends for his merchan-
disc.
ON the same basis this fellow will
tell you if our factories can't produce
foreigner sell his goods to us. Do you
realize how many men and women of
our home country are thrown out of
work by taking the tariff off Of one
commodity because foreign factory
can produce cheap on account Of the
cheaper labor condition?
What are we going to do with these
is the question? Taking
several kinds Of factories who have to
cut down their force or suspend oper-
alton altogether, the aggregate of un-
will soon run up into the
hundreds of thousands If not millions.
It's true this very thing will bring the
high cost of living to a lower plane,
but it doesn't make much difference
to the unemployed as anything is
high or out of reach when you haven't
the price.
a few years ago any well informed
person would have laughed you to
scorn had you mentioned foreign corn
coming to our seacoast towns. This
has not only been done in the past
few months but it has invaded one of
the greatest corn districts of the world
around Kansas City and cheaper than
our farmers can market it.
In the past few weeks our govern
ment has done what no home buying
md patriotic citizen would do--gone
nto foreign markets to buy its beef for
he navy.

employment and foreign countries cai

HOW THE GOVERNMENT
COULD AID PROSPECTOR
IDAHO MAN GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
AN IMPORTANT
SUBJECT.

o. e. Kirkpatrick of Leesburg, Ida
no, in lette; 20 the Mining and
Scientific Pre- of San Francisco
makes some practical suggestions
bearing upon government aid to pros
pecting which have merit and are here
reproduced:
II have read with a great deal of in
terest the discussion in the Mining
and Scientific Press relative to the dis
couragements Of prospecting and how
to encourage it. The article by F. Som
mer Schmidt, which appeared in you:
paper Of April 4, contained an excel
ent suggestion on the system Of gov
eminent aid to prospectors and pros
pecting companies. Especially ap
pealing Is the action of the British
Columbia government in building
wagon roads to properties even befor,
the tonnage had been developed. Ir
contrast to this l may cite the expert
ence of the Leesburg Syndicate which
in 1890 was endeavoring to open a
hydraulic placer property here. Thi,
syndicate built at it's own expense II
miles Of wagon road over the Leesbure
summit at a cost of $4,000. This roat
has ever since been used by the pub
lie. The prospectors and miners in
this county alone during the past 50
years have MADE 200 miles of wagon
road at their own expense.
District GeoIonist.
zone Of your correspondents brings
out the fact that with all due appre-
citation Of the geological survey during
the past it has not taken up work in
a mining district until the minera
reputation has been established by a
considerable amount Of development. !
believe that system of having per.
manent United States district geolo-
gist who would make frequent visits
to localities where prospecting is be-
ing DONE who would give advice where
requested, and collect data of new de-
velopments, who would also make
tests Of ore for prospectors or have
them made would be Of the greatest
assistance to prospecting.
Mining and Agriculture.
During the last annual session of the
American mining congress compari-
son was made of the federal aid given
to agriculture and the amount given
to mining. The amount given annual
ly for the benefit of agriculture was
stated to be $17,000,0O0, the amount to
mining approximately $1,OOO,O0O The
department Of agriculture has for many
years past at great expense and eff
fort published for free distribution
more than 500 bulletins, the result of
experiments relating to
agriculture which have proved of great |
assistance to the farmers. May we !
not hope that the federal government, |
through the bureau of mines will in |
The future make like experiments in
mining, milling, smelling and all mas
.ers pertaining to prospecting and min

Put Democratic on Defensive.

Republican campaign managers fig
ure that they have the democrats on
the defensive. The Mexican question
will figure prominently; canal tolls
will be another big issue, and the tar
if will be third point Of contention.
On each Of these issues the democrats
are under fire and In each instance
democrats in congress. in addition to
having to answer for their record, must
also answer for having acted at the
dictation of the president. And herein
comes another big issue, that Of execu-
tive domination Of congress.
Some republicans think that this
last issue will cause democrats more
embarrassment in the campaign than
any Of the other issues, and particu-
larly will 1t embarrass congressman
land senators who surrendered their
own views and abandoned the inter-
bidding Of the president. That Presi-
dent Wilson has been able to Gomin-
ate congress as no other president has
done. Is acknowledged; his influence In
forcing through legislation which he
himself approved has been greater,
even, than the Influence exerted by
President Roosevelt at the height Of
his power But it is pointed out
there is this difference between Will
son and Roosevelt; the latter did not
undertake to shape public opinion; he
waited for 1t to crystalline and then
led the movement to secure what the
public wanted. President Wilson, on
the other hand, has plunged ahead. re-
CARELESS of and in the face of public
sentiment, and has forced a democratic
congress to adopt legislation which
public sentiment has not sustained,
but which he himself has believed
wise and proper. He has attempted
craftsmanship, If such it
may be called, but he has done so in
defiance Of clearly defined public opin-

LIVING ON LESS.

Says an old and dusty proverb:
Let the devil have his due"
And think the democratic
Donkey ought to have 1t too.
II you hearken to his braying
You must truthfully confess
That he's quite correct in saying
That the people less are paying
Amt they e. ng so much less
When he told us that his tariff
Would cut. our bills in half
Twas really very wrong of us
TO josh at him and laugh;
Mark the latest Of advices
And our error then confess;
Though the tariffs cut no slices
In the peoples living prices,
They are living now on less.

A Big Undertaking.

In presenting the interesting figures
Motor says THE amount of time and
trouble necessary to obtain the mater
ial that has gone into this compilation
are, we think. sufficiently obvious to
furnish ready explanation as to why
the. matter has never before been UNI
dertaken. To get the figures used
herein, 1t was necessary, of course, to
write to every country in the world,
and our thanks are cordially extended
to the United States consular agents
and others in the far corners of the
earth. whose prompt and efficient CO.
operation made, possible the taking of
the census
I'm many cases where no enumera-
ton OF motor cars in the country had
ever been attempted, it was necessary
for the local agent to get in touch
with the authorities of various politi-
cal subdivisions and collate the infor-
nation so obtained to give us the to-
tai figures.
American Cars Lead.
THE figures comprised in this cen
sus are in many ways suggestive and
significant Who could fail to see the
obvious comparison between the Eng
fish and American motor car industries
in the 100000 cars of the one and
100000 of the other, even after due al
lowance is made for the difference in
the populations of the two countries
who can doubt that one of the most
progressive motoring countries in the
world Is our neighbor on the north,
when he contrasts the $4,000 cars of
Canada with Germany's $1,000 and re-
members that the former is almost
roadless while the latter has one of the
finest highway systems in the world.
rs 1t not surprising to find that the
cult Of the motor car has penetrated
even to that hermit among nations,
Afghanistan. AS a mntter of fact, al
most all the 60 motor ears in the coun-
try beyond the Khyber Pass are owned
by the ameer, who is a devoted motor
list and amateur mechanic of skill.

Disregards Public Opinion.

| With regard to Mexico. with regard
to the Panama canal tolls. and with
regard to certain phases of the tariff,
President Wilson outlined and forced
congress to accept his policies which
are acknowledged even by. democrats
to be in conflict with public opinion
The refusal to recognize Huerta and
the long string of diplomatic blunders
that followed has done more to de-
stroy public confidence in the Wilson
administration than can be corrected
by anything likely to happen between
now and November. The forcing of
the un-American canal tolls repeal
bill through congress in the face of
overwhelming American sentiment
against repeal has injured not only
the president, but those democrats
who have reversed themselves at the
demand of the president; and the
course pursued by the president in
driving democratic senators into line
on the tariff has wrought injury to the
party which will, it is argued, be felt
at the November elections.
Broken Pledges to Figure.
The broken platform pledges also
will figure in the next campaign, for

WHO BRANDED IT?

Down at the New England plant to day is a big halibut that weighs over two hundred pounds dressed, with marks on its back that look like the fig ures and letters "1007 A x" The fish was caught off Cape George by the schooner Sen ator and brought in to ketch- ikan on same, and the fact of the markings on it's back re- ported to the Customs House. AS far as We have been able to discover there has been no attempt on the part of either the American or Canadian gov ernments to mark any halibut. This kind of fish grow very slowly, which makes it hard to believe that the fish could have been caught as recently as 1907. and then turned loose after being marked. as the general impression among the fishermen is that the halibut grows but a few pounds a year, which would make this partic- ular speciman weigh at least t50 pounds in 1907, which was but seven years ago.
