OF the best soldiers in the field are
younger men, who have outgrown their
BOY scout years. and are putting into
practice the lessons of obedience,
loyalty, heroism, that they learned in
past times under their scout leaders
at home.
M. Jusserand, the French ambassador,
has been kind enough to take a great
deal of trouble to ascertain whether
any Boy Scouts of France are at the
scenes of conflict. or whether they are
allowed within the area of hostilities.
And for the information of the SUNS
written from Washington:
i have vainly tried to secure among
my compatriots here the information
you want about Boy Scouts in or close
to the scene of conflict in France. All
the testimony I could get from officers
lately returned from France led me
to believe that wherever they have
been employed they made themselves
most useful. but none could tell me
that they were really allowed near the
firing line

with knowledge derived from obser-

Nine feet of ore is exposed in the
prospect raise recently started above
the north drift from the branch west

the property of the Atlanta Mines
company. Three feet of the ore on
the hanging wall side gave assay
returns last night of $50 per ton.

rying milling grade values.
A sharp turn in the shale footwall
caused the drift itself to slightly
penetrate the latte hanging wall,
leaving only about two feet of the
vein in the face. The vein Is, how
ever, wider and the drift will be
turned to follow it. Car samples of
the ore. as broken down yesterday
from the raise and drift face gave
average values of $23 per ton. The
output of the two workings is being
saved and shipments from the prop
erty will probably begin about the
first of tn new year.
