passage of a large body of progress
sive legislation. To his urging we
owe the federal reserve banks, rural
credit banks, abolition Of child labor,
8-hour day for railway trainmen, in
come tax, inheritance tax, govern
ment shipping commission, seamen's
protection, trade commission, tariff
commission, anti-injunction.
Some of this legislation is faulty
much of it is timidly conceived; all
of it, however, is headed in the right
direction. In the past two years es-
peciaIly Mr.. Wilson seems to have es-
capped the shackles of his Jefferson
ian traditions, and to be moving def
initely and decidedly in the right di-
rection pointed by the Progressive
platform of 1912.
And if he is going in the right di-
rection and going farther and faster
than his opponent, that is the logical
reason for his support by the inde-
pendent voter"

Progressive national chairman, now
in China, is editor, editorially adYis-
es men and women of progressive
tendencies to vote for Woodrow Will
son for president.
In it's editorial the Eagle says:
THE logic of events, the issues as
they are now joined, the facts as they
exist, lead to the selection of Wood
row Wilson as the presidential choice
by those citizens who would more
certainly further the progressive
principles so vital to the republic and
to civilization itself.
1.-THE question is simply as to
which candidate, stands out as best
fitted to bring nearer a realization
those practical measures of Christian
brotherhood among the men and
women of this nation and between
this nation and the nations of the
EARTH"
After pointing to what it considers
the shortcomings Of the Wilson ad-
ministratiOn, and still more of the
Democratic party, the Eagle scores
IlUSuCD
Orous progressive policy.
It admits that on woman suffrage
and in declaring for the budget sys-
TEN Hughes has taken the right
stand, but concludes:
But these items to Mr. Hughes
credit are outweighed in the progress
sive scales by Mr.. Wilson's record. If
the president has not insisted as
strongly as he should have done on
the maintenance of American rights,
he has upheld certain rights upon the
sea that a majority Of Republicans
in the house voted to surrender.
eff he has not yet interviewed in
Mexico, as we believe he inevitably
will have to intervene, in behalf of
the Mexican people, he has at least
spared us the national humiliation of
an intervention solely on behalf of
American capital.

THE MORAL FORCE OF GREAT
CONVICTIONS
BY President Wilson


I would not feel any exhilaration
in belonging to America if 1 did not
feel that she was something more
than a rich and powerful nation. I
should not feel proud to be in some
respects and for a little while her
spokesman if l did not believe there
was something else than physical
force behind her I believe that the
glory Of America is that she is a great
spiritual conception and that in the
spirit of her institutions dwells not
only her distinction, but her power,
and that the only thing that the
world cannot permanently resist is
the moral force of great and tTium-
plant convictions. - To D. A. r.,
Washington, Oct II, 1915.

CANCER INCREASING.
Helpful Hints for Avoiding an Old Age
Disease.
Idaho Health Bulletin)

idaho Health Bullettn)
Cancer is on the increase. 1t is
largely a disease of people who have
reached As or more. 1t is not inherited
but comes from too much pressure OF
irritation on some particular spot, sIch
as results from a cigar or pipe IN the
lip, a broken, jagged tooth on the tom
que, a corset stay on the breast, spec
tacles on the nose constipation of the
lower bowel, hot foods and strong con-
dments in the stomach, etc.
To avoid cancer simply avoid those
things that cause or tend to cause it.
Cancer never gets we'll of Itself II
allowed to run ii always kills its vic
tim sooner or later. There is put one
real cure for cancer That is 10 take
it out.
So-called cancer cures are swindles,
They waste the patients valuable time
and time in this case Is more than
money 1t is life itself If surgeon
is consulted at the very first suspicion
of cancer the chances are all in favor
of a complete recovery, but If the mat
ter us delayed chances of recovery
rapidly decrease. In other words, in
the early treatment lies the hope of
cure.

Mining in Prohibition States
Mining and Scientific Press

We are glad to be able to give our
readers a timely article on Oatman,
the resuscitated goldfeld in Arizona.
1t is being featured in the daily press
as a new discovery, but in reality II
marks the revival of activity in the
desert country around the old Gold
Road and Tom Reed mines, brought
into fresh prominence by the develop
ment of a new rich mine, the United
Eastern. The resuscitation or revival
has been effected without the aid of
alcoholic stimulants, for Oatman Ia a
dry camp. In his happy presentment
of the picturesque features of this new
rush, Mr. Frank H. Probert lays en-
phasis on the fact that prohibition
renders Oatman wholly unlike the
mining excitements of former days.
Undoubtedly the result is the loss of
a certain kind of pseudo romantic
glow such as glorifies the Outcasts of
Poker Flat and the Idyll of Red Gulch,
but that is something more essential
to frontier poetry than to human pro-
gress, 1t seems strange to the veter-
ans of the west to think of an Ari-
conan hcCm devoid of the necessares
of eXhilaration, and it seems equally
strange that in the new year our
friends in Colorado should be facing a
similar break with all the traditions of
the past, for their courts also have de-
cided that prohibition must be absol-
ute. Our correspondent at Denver
views the prospect with ill-concealed
dismay, while recognizing frankly that
the open saloon is an institution not
essential to civilization. The west is
outgrowing the recklessness of youth
and no longer confuses good fellow
snil with superabundance of cock
tails. So we shall neither sheer at
nor commiserate with, Oatman. The
money that would have gone to the
and distilleries will be kept
for the more productive purpose of ex-
ploring the desert rocks in search of
the precious metal. And the painful
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-01-13

ly sober prospector is doing 1t vigor-
ously and effectively, according to all
accounts. The geological structure
offers no short cuts to wealth, as is
clear from the preliminary diagnosis
of Mr.. Probert. Much more inyestiga-
ton is necessary, as he indicates while
offering some pertinent suggestions.
Hitherto some of the best ore bodies
have been found at distance below
the surface thus creating the pleas
ant delusion that enrichment is a
consequence of depth. One swallow
does not make a summer-nor even
a drink-at Oatman; likewise the fact
that two shafts did not strike good
ore until 800 feet was reached does not
constitute evidence on which to build
the idea of an ore bearing horizon at
a fixed distance from grassroots. OF
course, we appreciate the fact that in
determining the probable value of a
prospect, the postponement of the
critical point until the workings have
reached a given depth Is not without
practical value in ensuring a reason
able amount of vertical exploration. In
a district where the ore bodies have a
decided pitch and are softer than the
encasing rock, such a supposition
tends to promote systematic search.
The story of Goldfield proves that a
bonanza may fail to poke its head
above the cactus. But we do depre-
cate the assumption, already current
in brokerage literature, that poor
showing at surface is not discouraging,
nay, almost furnishes proof of the
richness of the vein at 800 feet, for that
is what happened in the United East
ern, so it is said. However, the humor
of the position is evident. We be-
lieve that the enforced sobriety of the
mining population of Oatman will not
be without effect in modifying the
Imagination of the promoter and in
giving legitimate mining fair chance.
Interesting developments may be ex-
pected in this part of Arizona during
1916

Goldfish Farm.

Ten acres of goldfish bring Eugene
Cate of Langdon, Kan, more ready
cash annually than is earned by the
average 160-acre farm. But raising
and marketing 10 acres of goldfish is
no lazy mans job. In fact. Mr.. Cate
puts in as many days work in year
as does the average farmer. His in
dustry has grown to such proportions
that he has turned his grain farm
over to his son, and now devotes his
time exclusively to the production of
goldfish.

the 160,000O00 pounds from the Butte
& superior and the A5,000000 from
Senator Clark's property, will give a
total production of the Butte camp of
about 275,OO0,OO0 pounds of zinc per
annum. Hitherto, Missouri has been
easily the predominant state in the
production of zinc, with a record pro-
duction to date of 3O0,0OO,00O pounds
in 1912. 1t will be seen, therefore, that
these new developments at Butte will
put Montana, which three years age

Anaconda in Chile.

An item regarding which the public
knows still less, indeed about which
only indefinite rumors have come
through, has been of the development
of large "prophyry" copper mine in
Chile, resembling in a general way that
of the Chile Copper company of Chu-
quicamata.
Current press reports are that there
have been developed at this property
fully 50,000,O0O tons of IN per cent
ore, with probabilities of perhaps sew
eral times this amount.
There are ip addition two other prop
critics under development about which
nothing has been said in the press, but
which have very large possibilities.

CHARM OF THE DESERT.
Strange Fascination That Holds One
on the Arid Plains.

A playa is a shallow, flat-floored de-
preston characteristic of valleys hav-
ing no regular drainage to the sea, in
which storm waters collect and evap-
orate--a wet and dry lake. 1t may be
a shallow lake or a salt -incrusted mud
flat
In his description of the prehistoric
Lake Lahontan, in the Great Basin,
the late I. c. Russell of the United
States geological survey, writes
THE scenery on the larger playas is
peculiar and is usually desolate in the
extreme but is not without it's charm
In crossing these wastes the traveller
may ride for miles over a perfectly
level floor, with an unbroken sky line
before him and not an object in sight
to cast shadow on the ocean-like ex-
panse. Mirages, which may be seen
every day on these heated deserts, give
strange fanciful forms to the noun
tains and sometimes transfigure them
beyond recognition A pack train
crossing the desert a few miles dis
tant may appear like some strange
caravan of grotesque beasts fording g
shallow lake, the shores of which ad-
vance as one rides away. The mon
otony of midday on the desert is thus
broken by elusive forms that are evel
changing and suggest thousand fan
cies which divert the attention from
the fatigues of the journey. The COO
evenings and mornings in these arie
regions, when the purple shadows o.
distant mountains are thrown across
the plain, have charm that is un'
known beneath more humid skies, and
the profound stiffness Of the night II
these solitudes is always impressive
