site FOR MONUMENT
DEPENDS ON CONGRESS

Permission having been refused by
the War Department. for the erection
in Arlington National Cemetery, of the
Memorial to the "Nun Of the Battle
field" Mrs. Ellen Ryan jolly, National
President of the Ladies Auxiliary to
the Ancient Order a. Hibernians, is
now drafting''a bill I'd be presented to
congress when it co1venes in Decem-
Der, so that a law maY be enacted that
will give permission sfor the erection
Of this long delayed monument to the
sacred memory of the nuns of the
battlefield of the Civil War.
AS the browning accomplishment of
her years of service as head of this
great organization, Of women, Mrs.
jolly plans to see this memorial erect
ed in Arlington, andSit was for this
reason that she consented to serve an
other term as president, to which Of
flee she was unanimously reelected at
the National Convention in Norfolk in
July, 1914. s.
At this convention a resolution pro-
viding for an assessment within the
auxiliary for the purpose of providing
for the monument was introduced and
adopted with enthusiasm The amount
to be raised for this purpose was fixed
at $4,000, to be contributed entirely
by the auxiliary, and within the two
years.
Data collected by Mrs Jolly shows
that these sisters, In field and hos
pital, as well as on the floating hos
pitfalls during the Civil War, gave serv-
ices that have received praise from
all, irrespective of religious creed, and
it is the purpose of the ladies' aux
iliary to the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans to perpetuate their memory in
some outward and lasting form of
memorial.
When Mrs. jolly visited the war de-
partment in reference to obtaining the
site in Arlington, she was cordially
received by Secretary Garrison While
in hearty accord with. the vote of the
convention, and approaching fully the
excellent service of the sisters on the
battlefields, he was forced to explain
that, under the rules and regulations
of the national cemeteries of the coun
try, permission for the granting of the
site for the monument cannot be given
except by vote of congress.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels is also
quoted as in hearty approval of the
proposition, and when he was guest
OF honor at the exercises of Saint
Mary's Academy, at South Bend, In
diana, Memorial Day last this being
an academy from which so sisters
went to the front, SO of whom are
buried in the cemetery of the insti
tuition, the secretary delivered an ad
dress In which he paid the sisters a
lofty tribute for their patriotic and
humane work, and also assisted in
placing the wreaths on the graves
buried in that place.
This project has received the ap
prevail of His Eminence, Cardinal Glib.
bons, and it is hoped that congress will
enact q law early in the session that
Will permit the erection of the memo
rial in Arlington National Cemetery
fhus-a belated recognition of true
merit will be given to this noble band
OF women, whose work in peace and
In war was the work of God, and amid

KENNECOTT CO.
 IS ORGANIZED
Will Take Over Holdings of the Gug. genheim Exploration Company
 in Interior and on Coast.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-1t is an- nounced that the Guggenheim Ex- ploration company, owning copper mines in interior Alaska and on La touche island, Prince William Sound, with a capitalization of twenty-two million dollars, will be dissolved and their holdings taken over by the new Kennecott Corporation.
 The holdings of the corporation in Alaska are believed by mining ex- perts to be the richest copper mines in the world and have returned enor- nous dividends. The management has announced that everything is ar ranged so that shipments of the rich ores to the smelters will be continued during the winter as during the summer months. Owing to the high price of copper, due to the European war, it is estimated that the company during the six months beginning June 1, last, will earn a profit of more than $8,0O0,000.
 It is also announced that the new corporation will increase it's holdings in interior Alaska through the pur- chase of properties near their famous kennecott mine, which is producing the richest copper ores in the world.

ALASKAN COAL WANTED
 FOR NATIONS NAVY.

Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane is cooperating with Secre- tary of the Navy Josephus Daniels to bring about the use of Alaskan coal in United States battleships next summer. This inference is drawn by Alaskans from the fact that Secre- tary Lane has announced that he will ask for $9,OO0,000 for construction work on the government railroad next season. This sum is sufficient to put in all the necessary bridges between Anchorage and the Mata- nuska coal fields and to complete the laying of track to that point.
 In the event of the fields being opened next year, the navy depart ment doubtless will send fleet ot colliers into the North and may dis patch a number of warships to Alas ka for coal. Engineers in the serv- ice of the navy department have been in Alaska all summer selecting pier and bunker sites. George Wat kin Evans, mining engineer for the government, also spent the summer in the north and after dividing the coal fields into workable units is now completing his maps.-Seattle Times

at the request of President Wilson, reprieved Hillstrom until his case could be further investigated. The case had previously been investigated by the Swedish minister who report ed to the board of pardons that his investigation had developed nothing that would justify the board in com- muting the sentence.
 Hillstrom was a member of the In- dustrial Workers of the World, the members of which have been active in demanding his pardon or retrial. Resolutions to that effect have been passed all over the United States and several foreign countries. Many of them showed ignorance of the crime charged against Hillstrom and indi- cated belief that he was accused of some political offense. The governors office has received thousands of com- munications on the subject. AS the day set for his execution approached the number of his communications sometimes reached four hundred a day. Many of these contained threats of death to the governor and mem- bers of his family, who were placed under guard.

Ledge of Tungsten Discovered.

Albert Johnson, of Fairbanks, has discovered a ledge of tungsten ore on Gilmore creek, which he has traced for about one hundred and fifty feet. The ledge is three feet wide and as- says of the rock shows that it will go in the neighborhood of $500 per ton. It contains one ton of sheelite for every eight tons of rock and shee- lite is stated to be fully 80 per cent tungsten. Sheelite sells for about 40 cents per pound. Immediately after the discovery Johnson sold an in- terest in the claim for $500 to en- able him to open the property and take out ore for shipment to the States next spring.
