MINING NOTES

The British Columbia Copper COM
pany will soon be ready to start up
the Lone Star mine, on this side of
the boundary, three miles from Dan
vile, Wash, after the installation of
new six-mile cable tramway to the
Greenwood, B. c., smelter.
Joseph F. Morton and associates,
who recently took over the Orc Elmo
group of claims near Murray, Idaho,
from Fritz Marchante and associates,
have organized the Bear Creek Min
ing company and leased the Bear Top
mill. The mill, which has a daily
capacity of 200 tons, will be over
hauled.
Rossland, B. c., is participating in
the mining prosperity, although this
camp has always been a steady and
consistent producer of gold and cop
per ores. The principal producers are
the Center Star, LIE Roi and War
Eagle, operated by the Consolidated
Mining & Smelling company, and the
Josie and California, operated by the
lie Roi No. 2, Ltd.
Situated in the beautiful Kaap val
ley, in the jamestown district of
Barberton, Transvaal, there is
mine known by the name of Verdite.
The name was given to it on account
of the peculiar green stone found in
the mine, which is unknown in any
other pair of the globe. Articles of
jewelry and ornaments are made of
verdite, and it has been called the
lucky green stone of South Africa.
Aprils high record of copper metal
sales, with total booking of all agen-
cies was close to 4OO,OOO,OOO pounds,
will be broken this month, according
to advices from Boston and New York.
Estimates of producers as to the ag-
gregate run between 100000 and
sO,OO0,O0O pounds at strong prices de-
pending entirely upon the delivery
: dates in volume. October sold at 27
cents, the highest price received for
several months. November contracts
have been made at 26h cents. In
quiries have come from American
manufacturers for delivery through
next February. There is an insistent
demand for October copper, and it is
now quite scarce, with producers die
: tating terms and price. There is ev-
: cry indication that prices will go much
o higher. One of the leading producers
S says: ut looks as though August
z. sales would approximate 5OO,OOO,OOC
r pounds. Our inquiries are not alone
n from old. but new customers as we'll.

Paris, Aug 27.-A Havas dispatch

addressed to the Italian government
to the Swiss government. 1t requests
the Swiss government to inform the
German government that Italy consid-
ers herself at war with Germany from

Action Was Inevitable.
Italy and Germany have been drift
ing steadily toward war. The decla-
ration became inevitable when Italy
recently sent troops to Saloniki to
cooperate in the campaign of the en-
tente allies on the Macedonia front,
as Germany is directing the opposing
forces and has troops on this battle
line.
Won Buelow Procured Truce.
Italy's position in regard to Ger
many has been an anomalous one,
since it withdrew from the triple al
lance May 23 of last year and de.
clared war on Austria. Although by
this act she arrayed herself against
her former allies, Germany and Aus
tria she remained officially at peace
with Germany until this time. Be
fore Italy took this step Germany ex
erted every effort to induce her tt

GENERAL LECHITSkY

General Lechitsky, who has been
In command Of the left wing of the
Russian armies, is a man of sixty, and
for the greater portion of his service
has done duty with the Siberian corps
of the Russian army. Siberia ordinarily
serves as the great training school for
Russian higher officers. There some
of the ablest of the modern generals
of Russia have studied the handling of
troops on large scale. Siberia in
that regard offers much the same ad-
vantages that India is considered to
offer for British commanders. During
the war with Japan General Lechitsky
led the Siberian Rifles division. He
was promoted thence to the command
of the First Guards division at Petro-
grad. In 1908 he took command of
the Eighteenth army corps. At the
outset of the present war he was In
military charge of the Amur army re-

LANSING AS AN ARTIST

When Robert Lansing, secretary of
state, has a particularly busy day his
Office at quitting time is cross be-
tween lawyers den and the art room
Of a metropolitan daily.
This is due to the cabinet pre-
mier's lifelong habit Of sketching heads
Of beautiful women when working on
abstract problems.
Secretary Lansing has the unusual
knack Of tackling some intricate prob
lem Of International law with his right
hand while drawing the most exquisite
heads with his left.
There is feeling around the state
department that he could as well write
German note with his right and draw
beautiful blonde with his left, but
this has never been established, be-
cause the secretary locks himself in
when he tackles diplomatic note.
It's just little diversion, the Sec
retary says Of his art labors. He finds
