AFFAIRS
FOR SOLDIERS DEAD
PLENARY IND GENcE At
TACKLED TO ALL REQUIEM
MASSES FOR DEAD SOLDIERS.

The Pope has ordered that all
Masses, wherever celebrated during
the war, if offered for the souls of
the combatants, shall carry the same
benefits as requiem Masses celebrated
on privileged affairs.
A requiem Mass celebrated on
privileged altar not only gives the full
benefit of the Mass to the soul of the
departed, but the Church adds a spe-
cial plenary Indulgence. Therefore a
requiem Mass in New York, for in
stance, celebrated for the repose of
the soul of French or German SOL
der who died on the battlefield, would
carry with it all the benefits of priv
LEGGED altar service.

Fort Totten: Father Jerome is
again a familiar figure among the In
dams of the reservation. His recent
| illness seems not to have lessened
his energy nor narrowed the scope of
his duties. He still continues his long
drives in the severest weather as in
| former days. On one of the stormiest
days of the winter he drove to one OF
| his missions. The occasion was a
meeting of the Indian Temperance
Union, branch of which he has es
| tablished in each of his missions
Father Jerome has passed over thirty
years among the Indians and in that
time they have grown much attached
to him and he to them. They mani
| tested their kindly feeling toward hin
during his recent severe illness
When the news went the rounds thai
ne must go to the hospital fearing les
their friend and Father might expert
ence want they made up purse fol
him. Each contribution was widow
mite, for money is rare article amons
the Indians and is always gathered
at sacrifice. Even the children o
the Indian School made their contri
button of forty dollars.

SAYS ZINC FIELD
 POOR MANS CHANCE
RICH WORKINGS OPEN TO oPE- RATOR ON A SMALL
 SCALE.
STATE BIOLOGIST REPORTS
Ore Beds Declared to Be Radically Different From Those of South
 west Missouri District.
Mountain Home.


 Tt is a poor mans field, where mines can be developed at minimum expense" said John r. Fuller, state geologist of Arkansas, after having spent six weeks Investigating the geo logical conditions and the operating trict.
 "The ore beds," said MT Fuller, "are radically different from those of the Southwest Missouri district In that district there is a blanket formation of sheet ground, much of which re- turns but small metal content, but which covers large areas. The Arkan- sas district will probably not develop this sheet ground formation in the deeper levels. The upper ore beds of the Arkansas field without exception lie in breaks and troughs, and the probabilities are that the deeper ore bodies will also lie in this form as the surface ruptures extend apparently deep into the earth.
 Successful mining in this field will be conducted with small plants rather than large ones. Success can best be obtained with numerous small units rather than by fewer larger ones, on account of the irregularity of the ore deposits. At places these deposits are exceedingly rich, at others lean. While the average recovery is good, a mill ing cost should not be entailed on the real lean dirt Sorting of all ore should be resorted to. and that which will not return a good recovery should not be milled, as it costs as much to mill rock as ore.
 ITO practical men this district Of. fers wonderful opportunity on ac. count of the small expense involved in opening up the ore deposits. In a great many instances the ore is found Ill free chunks that require no milling, but is marketable in the same shape as 1t comes from the ground These properties can be put on paying ba sis with a few pick and shovel men increasing the force and output as the ground is opened up. There are many small mill propositions also that can be opened up with a small amount Of capital"

The special auditing committee Thursday afternoon submitted the re- port of their investigation of the De- partment of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture. The report is thorough review of the transactions of the of flce, but does not contain any very sensational findings. The only source of receipts In this office Is the sale of fertilizer and feed tags. The total re- ceipts from fertilizer tags from Novem- Der, 1912. to February 15, 1915. were $b3,S45.06 and from feed tags. S42.- f66.3S. On account of the injunction against the sale of feed tags there were no receipts on that account after October, 1914 The total receipts from November 1, 1913 to February 15, 1915, were S96.61344. A few slight frregu- larttfes In the handling of the fertf- Haer tags are shown by the report, but these in the main are explained by the commissioner, John H. Page. The committee says it has no informa- tion whatever that the department has not accounted for every cent due the state. The committee recommended hat the tags be purchased by the audi tor and issued by him to the comis- sioner.
