No ono Objects to Rndget

Either there is org indifference
among the taxpayers over the propos-
ed expenses of the county for next
year or else they have faith in the
county court. Though the fact that
the budget was to be discussed and
passed upon today had been given
wide publicity not a single taxpayer
appeared before the court to object
or approve. County Commissioner
Cockburn was unable to be here to-
day but Judge Marsh went out upon
the streets and tried to induce tax
payers to attend the meeting. at
$3.50 none had responded, the gener-
al answer being that they were sat
isfied with the budget As a result.
the budget as published will probably
be adopted as the official basis for
the 1916 tax levy.

START BUTTE TUNNEL

II will be surprise to many Butte

A large electric compressor will be
installed at once to prosecute thf
work and the company intends to

rapidly as possible.

many of the northwesterly and south

The company has been engaged for
the past three years in perfecting its
holdings and the tunnel has beer
started upon its patented ground. The
tunnel will be SxS feet in the clear and
will be double tracked.
Not Far From Gardens.
Tramway gulch is situated about
one-half mile south of Columbia
Gardens, and has received its name
from the tramway that was built on
the side of the mountain for the pur-
pose of conveying cordwood from its
heights to where the wood teams could
load and portion of the old tramway
can now be seen from any part of
Butte. Thousands of cords of wood
have been hauled from this gulch to
furnish fuel for the mills and shelters
of this district before the introduce
ton of coal
The main range fault, upon which
the Butte & Duluth and the Bull
whaeker properties are located, crosses
this gulch about 1900 feet west of the
portal of the tunnel Of the Butte &

Missing
(Scientific American)

after night has fallen, and by care-
full listening detect the location of the
submarines, creep upon them quietly
and then make a final dash to get
them with the gun or the ram before
they can submerge
The contemplation of lingering
death in a sunken submarine may
well strike terror to the stoutest heart
and the British admiralty have made
deadly use of the psychology of the
situation by retaining from making
any mention of the time or place of
the destruction of the U-boats. When
The disturbance of the floats at the
top of torpedo net showed that
submarine was entangled, the U-boat
was hauled to the surface shot full of
holes and allowed to sink without a
word being published of the occur
renee.
The psychological effect upon the
personnel of the submarine service of
this absolute silence as to the fate of
the submarines after they have left
Wflhelmhaven or the mouth of the
Elbe must be simply appalling.
So long as the fate of the U-boats
which were destroyed or captured in
the earlier weeks OF the war were
made known, the horror of uncertain
ty was missing; but during the past
few months over half hundred boats
have failed to return. They saluted
as they steamed out from their naval
base. and that was the last that was
seen or heard of any of them.
Won Hindenburg has said that the
present contest is one Of nerves. If
so. 1t may well be a question whether
this portentous silence which has fol-
Owed the passage of the U-boats up
on the high seas has not been a pow
'rful factor in breaking down the
German submarine warfare.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1915-11-18

In the recent complete breakdown
of the German submarine attack on
merchant shipping, we witness an
other Of those silent victories over the
German navy, of which the present
war has been so fruitful The first
and greatest of these of course, was
the complete immobillzaton Of the
German high sea fleet, whose 20 or
more dreadnoughts and battle cruis
crs have been shut up helplessly in
German North sea ports and in the
Baltic from the very 1ay that war
was declared
To what are we to attribute the
sudden collapse of the German sub
marine raiding expeditions? The an
swer Is to be found In the two fields
Of mechanics and psychology. We
stated many months ago, when the
submarines were at the height of their
activities, that the experience Of past
naval wars justified the expectation
that some effective means would be
discovered for defeating the U-boat
attack; and the event has proved that
we were right. 1t is safe to say that
no branch of the great naval and mill
tary operations Of this war has been
the subject OF more thorough investi-
cation by the scientists and the in
ventor than that of submarine war
fare on its defensive side. Very fruit
full has been the study of this prob.
lem and most efficient have been the
means adopted.
Not until the history of the war
comes to be written, probably viii Il
be known which Of the defensive |
have proved to be the most |
successful. Probably more subma-
rines have been accounted for by nets
han by any other means; although
arge number have been sunk by de-
'troyers and swift motorboats rush
ng In upon and rammlng them or
destroying them with their rapid fire
runs. We are informed that not

harge their batteries. The exhaust

Sorting Experiments.
Thought is being devoted to the
hand picking of copper ore in the rock
house. superintendent are asking If
the removal of say 10 per cent waste
rock at the mine prevents that guam
tity of material in the milling pro-
cesses from maliciously attaching t.
itself the or 8 pounds of copper

so factor OF saving.
Goose and the Golden Egg.
Hibbing, in Minnesota, one of the
pioneer mining towns OF the Mesabi
range, has a queer condition of af-
fairs. Local politicians with a con-
troll of votes have been taxing the
mining companies and spending the
money in an extravagant manner. Fin
ally the mining companies, of which
the U. s. Steel corporation is one, re-
fused to pay the taxes, and a dead
lock ensued, The tax gatherers
threatened to close the mines by pro-
cess of law, but recognized that If
this were done, they would be cutting
their nose to spite their face The
city of Hibbing is said to have been
spending more money than Duluth
which is many times it's size and to
have more street lights than the city
of Cincinnati. even the alleys being
lighted to the brilliancy of the Great
White Way of New York.
Queer Uses Of Bath Tubs.
The United States Steel corporation
is trying the experiment OF putting
bath tubs in miners cottages on the
Mesabi range, The company hopes
that the miners and their families wiz
use the tubs for baths. In some dis
tricts the tubs make handy coal bins
or afford storage capacity for almost
any household article, such as picked
pork
Gold Rush to Ontario.
Not much excitement is manifested
in the new Kowkash gold rush to the
north of Lake Superior in Ontario
although several years ago, several
Michigan men achieved fortunes q
Cobalt and Porcupine. It is believed
that the Kowkash episode is only :
small matter, like so many of there
cent Ontario rushes. The insignifi-
cant gold showings of the Canadian
border region across the Minnesota
line have tended to discourage interest
in the new Kowkash discoveries. II
Is scarcely believed that there will be
another "poor mans camp" like Co
oalt where numerous rich deposits
,ccur in concentrated form close to
he surface. 1t is interesting to note
hat Kowkash is approximately north
If Calumet. and not far from the north
shore of Lake Superior.
