wooded hills by the side of one of the numerous mountain
meadows, just large enough to afford abundant pasturage
for the camp stock.
Many localities have two or more creeks which have
been known by the same name. such as Deer. Moose,
Bear and Rapid creek. This duplication of names is be-
ing corrected, leaving the best known creek to retain its
local name, and restoring to the other, so far as practic-
able, its original distinctive and euphonious Indian name.
Maps have been prepared of some localities, showing
creeks, roads, trails, and the location of ranger stations.
The practice of calling at the latter is becoming the more
general as the attitude of the forest service and its local
representatives toward the travelling public is the better
understood. The ranger, familiar with the remote points
of his district and its animal life, including the use of
his telephone, which has on the occasion of accident been
the means of summonng medical assistance when delay
would have resulted in prolonged suffering and possible
death.
While well-marked trails and telephone service are
of great convenience to the camper, the sheet iron stove
has probably contributed more to his comfort than any
other one thing. A camp outfit, be it for one or a dozen,
is not complete if it does not include a camp stove. The
convenience and comfort of preparing the meals, the saw
ing of both labor and wood in keeping the pot boiling,
and reducing to the minimum the danger of forest fires,
makes it almost indispensable.

An Atrocious Crime

Anaconda Standard: In all Butte's history it is diff
cult to recall a crime more revolving, an outrage more
dastardly, an assassination more %cowardly than the killing
of Tom Munroe, a special deputy sheriff, on a crowded
street corner in Butte's business center a few evenings
ago. SO far as has appeared the crime was unprovoked
The victim was given no warning, no opportunity to de
lend himself. Indeed there could be no provocation SO
great as to justify such a cold-blooded, cOwardly assassina-
ton.
The assassin, one of the officers of the new union of
miners and a leader in the local ranks of the Industrial
Workers of the World, is in custody. His foul act was
committed within a short distance of a policeman and
within sight of a score or more of people.
The welfare of the whole community demands that
crime so base, assassination so coWardly and unprovoked
shall be punished fittingly and promptly. Men guilty of
such acts should be made to feel to the severest extent the
wight of the law. Those who sympathize with such out
RACES, those who encourage such cowardly crimes, must
be made to understand that this is an American commune
tv, that it believes in law and order, not in anarchy. that
the law is not to be defeated or justice cheated, and this
crime cannot go unpublished.

Request for Federal Aid

The committee on agriculture of the Nevada state
senate now has in hand senate joint and concurrent reso-
luton No. 4, introduced by Senator heddie. The effect
OF the resolution is to memorable congress to enact legis-
lation for a government appropriation for the erection
and maintenance of federal irrigation and reclamation
projects and works. 1t is pointed out that congress an
r,1allv appropriates large sums for the erection of federal
buildings; for the improvement of rivers, harbors and in
land waterways, etc. For this work the go Jernment re-
ceives no return. 1t is further pointed out that the gov
ernment's exactions from settlers in the arid states of the
west proves too great a tax upon the resources at hand,
thereby contributing to the practical failure OF these pro-
jects. In conclusion the resolution says:
w urge our representatives in congress to take inn
mediate steps looking toward appropriate federal leglsla-
ton for the prompt and speedy relief of the western settler
from the unwarranted discriminatory tax and imposition,
requiring him to reimburse the government for its OUTLAWS
in the construction of reclamation and irrigation reser-
voirs, dams and works; that they use their utmost endeav-
ors in that behalf so as to encourage settlement in the
state of Nevada and other western states, upon projects
completed and those intended and to build up and popu-
late these states for the general public welfare; and that
such legislation shall contemplate in the main the usual
governmental fee and charge for locating upon the public
domain, but a liberal policy of gratuitous governmental
expenditure in preparing and fitting the lands so entered
for successful working and occupancy by the western
pioneer"
All of which seems to be fair enough!

Marking Forest Trails

Word has gone forth from forest headquarters to
have the roads, trails and streams on the national forests
we'll marked before the camping season opens. In conse-
quence signs conveying accurate, reliable information are
being prepared, at odd times during the winter when the
storms and deep snow make it impracticabe to engage in
outside work, to be placed at points where needed through
out the forests. AT every crossroad or point where there
is a probability of leaving the main roads or trails a
sign will indicate the direction and distance to local geo
graphic points. If the trail is well defined there will be
no further directions until another point of divergence is
reached; if, however, the trail is so dim that it is hard to
distinguish it from the many game and stock trails, it will
be "blazed;' that is, trees along it will be marked with a
cat-face slash under a line at a height of about five feet.
These b1azes should not be confused with a blaze without
a line, or bar, above it, since the latter are often made by
hunters or others for the purpose of locating game or
other things they have cached.
No longer will travellers have to rely on the directions,
sometimes misunderstood, that they get from the occa-
sional meeting with other pleasure seekers, but with the
trails plainly marked persons visiting a forest for the first
time will not be delayed or lose patience in taking a wrong
trail at a junction point; nor will they travel for miles in
doubt as to whether they have passed the point where
thew were directed to turn off from the main road to find a
delightful little spot for camping, tucked away among the

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-In order
to approach tentatively a solution
of the problem presented by the
idleness of a large portion of the
population of Belgium, the war re-
lief commission of the Rockefeller
foundation has inaugurated in Hol-
land an experiment in the direction
OF providing ample and useful la

clothing" according to a report CIV
en- out at the foundation headquar-
tiers last night.
The report, forwarded by the
commission from Rotterdam, says
the plan is being tried out in Holland
because the largest refuge camps are
there. The commission has supplied
sewing machines and a stock of
cloth, yarn and materials to make
wearing apparel.

Colds Arise From Germs

People who have colds, according to the United States
public health service, are suffering from attacks of germs
which they carry in their own mouths and threats. These
have been permitted to reside there in a state of armed
neutrality between the germs and the body defenses, until
fatigue, emotion, intemperance, overexertion or sudden
chill temporarily reduces the integrity of the body's de
fensive agents. This produces the aggregation of symp-
toms known as a cold.
Colds are really very serious matters, and should new
er be treated lightly. If the bodvs resistance to one kind of
disease germ is lowered. it is quite easy for other germs to
gain a foothold and spring into activity at such a time.
The infection which has produced a cold may extend to
other parts of the body, and middle-ear diseases and deaf
ness may ensue, or a remote joint may be infected, thus
causing a lowered efficiency throughout life. Many of the

Mining Dividends in 1914

With the fewest number of companies contributing
since the year 1908, American mines and works to the
number of I2S paid dividends in 1914 to the aggregate of
SS3,IS2,525, says Mining and Engineering World.
This amount is exceeded only by the dividend pay
oft-repeated assertion that even in the leanest years, min
ing, as carried on, is a profitable undertaking, second to
none OF the American industries. rs a further evidence
OF the prOfitableness of mining we are able to show that
these 1913 companies have, since their incorporation, di-
vided among their fortunate shareholders, the enormous
sum of So4, I07,2IO. With an outstanding capital of $685.
Oo70& this Is equivalent to a return OF approximately I0
per cent. Then go a step farther and imagine II YOU can
the immense sums that are paid out by these companies
for labor, machinery, taxes and miscellaneous supplies
you then have a grand total that would truly surprise YOU.
While the above gives a very good idea of mining as
a profitable Investment. there are still to be added the dIv1-
dends of the notwithstanding corporations, a very large
part of whose profits are derived from the direct operation
of their own mines. Six of these companies paid S2I,S74,-
342 in divideds in 1914 and since incorporation have en-
rched shareholders to the extent of SISo, 52O.32o
Then, too, might be added TO the above profits from
hundreds OF properties operated by private or close corpor
ations, which make handsome profits but which are given
no publicity. The profits of smaller mine owners and
prospectors. too, could be added. Al these, were their
profits made public, would add thehir millions to the al
ready large total.
In classifying the gold-silver lead zinc producers I'm
der one head we find that ninety four companies of this
class distributed among shareholders in 1914 dividends
totaling S3o,473,475 Add to this the disbursements made
prior to 1914 and there is shown a total OF S3II,33S,57S
on a combined issued capital of S2O4,36OII7. This is a re
turn OF approximately 100 per cent. S1Ntv-SlN of the
above properties are located in the United States and dur
ing the year 1914 %gladdened the hearts of shareholders to
the extent of $40, II4O47.

cases which are diagnosed as rheumatism are merely the
chronic poisoning which results from the continued
growth OF the same germs which produce colds. Since
colds are induced by a lowering of the bodily efficiency, it
IS seen that they may be avoided by the maintenance of
the bodily processes in a good condition. This means
the oDervance OF the rules of hygiene, adequate food,
avoidance of excuses, the securing of sufficient s1een ,nd
the like. Above all, the teeth should be kept in good con-
dition and the mouth kept clean.

Economy is the keynote of the present day mining
operations. To affect a saving of two pounds of copper to
the ton of rock is an achievement of a high order, and Oper-
ators are constantly on the lookout for processes and men
capable of making a saving OF values. Within the mine it
self the elimination of excessive methods of breaking and
handling ore and a hundred other necessary details are a
constant source of attention and study. With the eXhaus-
ton of high grade deposits and the opening up of leaner
ores, mine management and the problems Of ore treatment
have become more and more specialized and scientific.
Some of the best brains of the country are engaged in work
ing out new methods of treatment for low grade ores,
adapting old methods to new conditions, and simplifying
and undermining conditions under ground. At no time in
the history of mining have brains and ability been capa-
bic of being capitalized for so much or mediocrity been so
little in demand as now.-Contact Miner:
