AMERICAN CAPTAIN
ACCUSES GERMANS

Seized and Looted by
WarShip in Pacific.

Santiago. Chill, Nov. 2l.-The Ameri-
can steamship Sacramento, which until
a few months ago was the German
steamship Alexandra, has put into
Valparaiso, and the story related by
her captain has resulted in the CHILEAN
authorities starting an investigation TO
determine who is responsible for the
apparent violation of neutrality in
which she was involved.
The Sacramento, Captain Jacobson in
command, left San Francisco under her
new register and flying the Stars and
Stripes on October 10. Captain Jacob
son declares that his steamship was
seized on the high seas by a German
warship and taken to Juan Fernandez
Island. belonging TO Chilli. There he was
compelled 10 turn over his provisions
and 5000 tons Of coal to the Germans.
The Sacramento then came on TO Val
paraiso, where her captain recited his
story to the CHILEAN authorities. The
Sacramento cleared from San Francisco
for Valparaiso.
Valparaiso, Chill, Nov. 21.-The
American steamer Sacramento arrived
al this port to-day in ballast, bringing
from Juan Fernandez Island the crew
Of the French bark Valentine, of 1856
tons, which was sunk by the German
cruiser Dresden.
The French bark Valentine was last

HAWAIIAN JAPS ANGRY
Governor Refused to Let Avi-
ator Make Flight.

Honolulu, Nov. 21.-The refusal yes
terday Of Governor Pinkham to permit
japanese aviator 70 make an adver-
tised flight over Honolulu has exasper-
ated the japanese colony, which to-day
expressed its irritation through the
native press.
S. Sheba, editor of the Hawaii
Shinpo," published an editorial de-
nouncing what he said was the i'm
plication of the refusal namely, that
the japanese were suspected of espion-
age and that their friendship was not
wanted in Hawaii. The episode, he
said, marked the beginning of a period
Of. strained relations.

Dunkirk. Nov. 2l.-The people Of
Dunkirk heard the other morning that
the German General STAFF has either
humiliation or siege in store Tor

Calais. However, the hours length.

the people were treasured by the sight
Of the British feet, which, in plain
view from the heights around the town.
was sweeping the German positions IN
the dunes behind Nieuport.
On the street whore by freak OF
destiny the statue of the great French
sailor Jean Bart, merciiess enemy TO
England, holds in his bronze arms the
standard of Albion, may now be seen
collection of costumes and uniforms
of many colors. A medley of languages
may be heard there Belgian refugees
going south gaze curiously at enor-
nous trucks transformed into portable
fortresses, and salute with a meian-
choly air the almost steady hle OF am
balances from the front.
In such crowds the Flemish lam
guage predominates, but in the file of
soldiers with which the exodus Of
refugees is confused at times, one
hears English, French, Flemish, Arab,
the Moroccan patois OF the Counters,
and Hindustanee, which is the
strangest, but not the rarest, dialect
at present in this region.
The station, under military guard,
is full of soldiers of all arms and Of
all the races that are fighting for the
Allies. The others watch curiously
while the English rush to the locomo-
tive of an incoming train and beg hot
water from the engineer TO prepare
their 3 o'clock tea.
Belgian Guns Worn Out.
The interest which the inhabitant
OF Dunkirk takes in all this is more
serious than curious. II is reinsurance
that he derives from the spectacle,
rather than amusement. He listens
complacently to the cannonade, which,
after steadily approaching for several
days, finally becomes more and more
feeble As the danger of an attack
by the Germans seems 10 become more
remote, curiosity again gets the upper
hand, and greater and greater crowds
rush 10 the streets and around the
station to see the agglomeration Of
races.
All the tragedy of Belgium-the
maximum of moral suffering, the limit
of physical endurance seems TO be
visible in the grave expressions of the
soldiers who have been making a stand
for the last little free corner of their

Good Roads

To illustrate, take a ton weight and
put power enough on it to raise and
lower it five or six feet a hundred
times in "a hours. Don't you think if
would cost nice little sum? Multi
ply that by 1865 days in the year and
that by an indefinite number of years
and see where it will bring us.
There are very few places between
Mullan and the Old Mission on the
public highway that could not be made
to water grade. See how much it
would save in wear and tear of all
kinds of conveyances as we'll as Valu-
able time in going up and down heavy
grades In and around Spokane cOun-
ty they figure on spending $1.0O0.0 08
on public roads in the next two years.
and in no place will any grade excee !
5 per cent. and no roadbed will be
less than "a feet wide. Don't you
think it would pay us to take a little
lesson in width and grades of the
public highway in the Occur d'Alenes?
A CLOSE OBSERVER.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1914-02-19

A few days ago | was passing along
a public highway where some men
were engaged in widening the road
which was badly needed at that par
ticular point They were drilling into
the side of the road which is she ar
wall of solid rocks about 20 feet high.
At this particular point the road raises
from the natural or water grade about
five or six feet. To have lowered this
to water grade would have widened
the road some two or three feet and
perhaps would not have cost as much,
and to say the least, no more. Then
If the road needed more width it could
have been done just as cheaply as be-
fore.
Most of us are so accustomed to
these little elevations in the public
highway that we don't give them the
attention they should have. Every
foot of a raise in public road that
can be avoided is waste Of time in
travel and waste of money in power
to go over It.

PROFIT IN COAL WASTE.
Used for Fuel in Great Electric Power
Plant,

What is believed to be the largest
central power plant in any coal field
in the United States is now being con-
structed by the Lehigh Navigation
Electric company at Hauto Pa.
As is well known, the fine sizes Of
anthracite, such as buckwheat No. 3
and smaller, although containing a
high heat content, possesses but little
present value at the mines The fun
damental idea in building this power
plant at Hauto, says Coal Age, is 20
convert this low priced and. from the
monetary standpoint, comparatively
worthless fuel into commercial valu-
able electric current.
A considerable proportion OF the
fuel mined in the country today Is
used in the general ton of electricity
Particularly during the past few years
the idea has been gaining force that
It is cheaper to manufacture power at
the mine and transmit 1t TO the
point Of application than 1t is to snip
the coal over an equal distance ana
there convert it into electric energy
in a small and isolated plant.
One of the unique features OF tne
plant is the fact that the ashes from
the furnaces ca be discharged direct
into air dump ash cars OF standard

An ENGLISH COMPANY CLAIMS TO HAVE SOLVED
PROBLEM OF TREATING COMPLEX ZINC ORES
IF CLAIMS ARE MADE
LARGE DEPOSITS
DISTRICT

There Is perhaps no subject in the
greater interest here in the Coeir
d'Alene district than the recovery of
values in complex zinc ores. That It
is subject that equally concerns
many other mining sections, both in
the United States and in foreign coun-
tries, is evidenced by the experiment.;
that are being made in various parts
Of the world. Much progress has been
made in solving the problem, some
metalurgists now claiming that they
reached degree of success that makes
1t possible to treat these complex ores
profitably. The Metals Extraction
Corporation, Limited, is the latest to
make this claim. If this claim proves
true, it will make possible the profit
able mining of vast deposits of com
pick zinc ore in various parts Of the
d'Alene district
The Douglas an Example.
The Douglas mine, on Pine creek.
owned largely by Wallace people, is
the best example Of this class of ore,
and the property is developed extern
sively so that all that is necessary is
to find the process, for the ore is there
ready for extraction with little pre-
iminary expense. The vein has been
opened and ore exposed on several
tunnel levels and the lower tunnel
shows continuous ore shoot over 700
feet In length. A shaft from this level
is also in ore for a distance of $50 feet.
1t is conservatjvely estimated that
there are 100000 tons of ore in sight in
the Douglas mine which will average
between 20 and 80 per cent zinc, II
per cent lead and ounces in silver,
and yet not pound can be moved be-
cause no successful process has been
found to treat the ore.
Many Tests Have Been Made.
For number of years the owners
of the Douglas have been sending SAM
pies of ore to various places through
out the country for experimental tests,
but without finding any process that
has proved successful. The nearest
approach was the French process, but
complete tests of this process were pre-
vented on account of the Trail smelter
taking over the patent rights to the
process. At last accounts the smelter
company was putting in plant TO
utilize the process, upon the COM
pletion of which it was the intention
of the Douglas company to try out the
ore on larger scale. What progress
the smelter is making with the plant
Is not known.
