BRITISH BATTLE TANKS
TOO MUCH FOR TEUTONS
DEATH DEALING MONSTERS PASS
OVER ALL oBSTACLEs--ARE
IMMUNE FROM ATTACK.

War correspondents describe the
new British battle motor variously as
tank, a monster turtle, an arma6illo,
dinosauer, an ichtyosaur, a NAM
moth caterpillar and huge toad with
pain in its stomach Attempts to
visualize it are accordingly difficult.
But there are two facts that speak
eloquently in every account of the
thing: 1t is most ungainly and ridi-
culous in appearance and the most
horritlc and efficient in action. The
British troops seem unable to keep
from laughing at the numbering brute
even in the din of battle and the pain
of wounds. The Germans are not
laughing. To them it is hideous and
formidable. With the most modern
weapons and defensive works in the
world, they seem nearly as helpless
in the face Of this travelling fortress
as cave man caught in the open by
one of the great, armored lizards of
the earth's prime.
After this, the English cannot be
accused of lack of imagination and
originality in warfare. Nothing in the
course of this war. so profile in new
devices for offense, has been more
genuine novelty; certainly nothing has
been quite so unexpected and startling.
And II its first promise is realized, 1t
may prove more effective even than
the famous 42-centimeter guns, the
super-submarines, poison gas, liquid
fire or any other German innovation.
Bullets Are Harmless.
Its peculiar value lies in the fact
that ii seems to meet and counterfeit
the chief obstacle to an advance in +
present day trench Nightingale ma
chine gun. Bullets rattle harmlessly
against the steel giants sides, while
from the machine guns within come
streams of lead that sweep the
trenches, killing the men remaining in
them. The numbering car itself seems
to crawl over or smash through all
ordinary obstacles, and must be ex.
.remely useful for clearing away !
earbed wire entanglements.
The censored accounts give no ade-
luate idea of the cars shape or dim
'nsions But Ii is undoubtedly the
anne invention of which description 7"

Isetative of an American munitions =

possibilities in these states. and
special examinations of phosphate, oil
and coal deposits of certain regions.
In Idaho there will be an examin-
alton made of the phosphate in the
Blackfoot range, the ore deposits of
the Occur dAlene region, Pine creek,

MINERAL PRODUCTION 1915.
Preliminary Estimate Made BY the
Geological Survey.

Geological Survey.
The value of the mineral production
of the United States in 1915, accord
ing to preliminary figures compiled by
the U. S. geological survey, was APP
proximately $2,S73. 100000 gain of
$25S, 100000, or more than IL per cent
over 1914. The value for 1915 has
been exceeded but osice-in 191S-wher
total of $2,439, 100000 was recorded
The metallic products reached the
greatest value ever recorded, having
advanced from $691 100000 in 1914 to
$685., 100000 in 1916 "a gain of nearly
4S per cent The metals contributing
most largely to this increase, their
combined gains being 81 per cent of
the total, are as follows: Pig iron.
increase $1O2, 100000, or "a per cent;
copper $S9,9S0o00 or So per cent: and
zinc, $7S,5S9, 600 or 224 per cent.
The value of the non metallic pro-
ducts In 1915 has been exceeded in 1913
and 1914 only, showing in 1915 a de-
crease of less than per cent from
the preceding year. The figures for
1914 and 1915 are $1,423, 900, 900 and
respectively. The fina!
figures for the value of the non metal
lie products in 1915 may be somewhat
Increased over the preliminary figures
given.
The mining activities and output re-
ported for the six months just ended
show that 1916 promises to be a re-
cord breaking year in the value Of
products.

Mineral Wealth The Foundation of
Nations Power.
George Otis Smith United States Geological Suye

sion of the material resources essen
tial to modern life is itself a promise
Of nations integrity, and the nation
that makes the whole world its debt
or through shipments of the mineral
fuels and the metals and the mineral
fertilizers occupies a strategic position
in the construction Of international
policy How best to realize upon
this national asset is a problem in
democratic government.
Basis of National Growth.
Again, he says: 1T is as basis of
nations industrial growth, however,
that mineral resources loom largest
Both self-centered independence and
world wide participation in commerce
must come through the fullest use Of
| these basic materials. Consumption
of the essential minerals does not
place nation In the spendthrift class
but 1t is in fact a measure Of its in
dustrlal efficiency"
After briefly reviewing the develop
ment of the mining industry, and quot
ing excerpts from the expressed views
of men prominent In its progress, DIR.
Smith observes: Because of the es-
sential relation between the mineral
resources Of a country and its pros
perity, both national and International,
there rests upon the public a con-
tinuing obligation to the mining In
dustry The governmental duty
to the mining industry first of all is
to promote use without waste.
Equally important, II indeed not alto
gether imperative at this time, is the
need that the public support only such
proposed legislation as may promise to
encourage engineering efficiency in
the mining industry
Civilization and Mining.
Concluding, DR.. Smith. says: THE
day of large opportunity for both ex
ploration and investigation of the
mineral resources Of this country is
not past. In this time of adjustment
to special demands it is easy to be
optimistic regarding future advances
along the engineering lines leading to
the full utilization of our mineral
wealth.
THE recognition of the extent to
which modern civilization rests upon
mining and the realization of the con
sequent need of promoting efficiency
in mineral production will insure the
placing of the proper estimate of va
lue on the public interest in mineral
resource. As the nations future well
fare depends on the continued produce
tiVity of our mines, ii follows that
even If the nations mineral wealth
does not greatly exceed that of any
ether country the public interest re-
qulres that no part of 1t be squander-
ed"

TAXING MINERAL LAND.
Interesting Decision Under the Re-
venue Laws of Montana.

interesting Decision Under the Re-
venue Laws of Montana.
The Anaconda Copper Mining com
pany conveyed certain lands to pur-
chasers, reserving underlying minerals
the right to remove them and right
of-way across the surface for the pur-
pose. Subsequently the tax assessor
listed the entire property to the pur-
chasers at its fun cash value and at
the same time assessed the mineral
reservations to the company at SIS the
acre. The tax authorities refused
to cancel the latter assessment, and
the company, having paid the tax
against 1t under protest. sued the
ooCnty to secure a refund
In affirming judgment in favor of
the county, the Montana supreme
court holds that, under the constltu-
ton and laws of the state, the mineral
interest in the land was taxable apart
from the interests sold to the pur-
chasers of the real estate proper and
that although there was an invalid
double assessment of the property f.,
that the minerals were assessed both
to the company and to the purchasers
1f the land. the company showed no
light to complain. The court init
mates that If there was any just cause
or complaint 1t was in favor of tho
'wner of the land (15S Pac Rep, 6S2)

Haulaae BY Compressed Air.

Haulage in mines by compressed air
locomotives with storage tanks is Q
cents per ton cheaper than by horses,
mainly due to less labor according TO
Raoul Green in a paper for the Can
adam mining institute. The cost OF
supplies and depreciation are about
the same in each case Compressed
air permits of from two to three times
more ore being handled than by
horses.

DIVISION IN
RANKS

The thirteen Democrats in the
House of Representatives who refused
to vote for the restoration of the du-
ties on sugar have revealed the point
of attack which Democratic rebels Will
make upon the Wilson program of leg
i~slation this winter. They will attempt
TO hamstring the administration by re-
fusine to provide the revenue which
will be required to meet the Demo
cratic deficit in the Treasury and 10
zap for the military preparedness
which the White House will urge.
In this, it is believed, they will find
a good many eoadjutors in Democratic
ranks. Indeed, it is nov whispered, the
advice which Bryan gave his men when
the MeLemore resolution was under
consideration was to save all their
strength for the supreme test Of the
taxation schemes which the admins
tration will be compelled to present.
The number Of those who will be amen
able to this advice is variously reckon
ed as from forty to seventy-but at
ans rate it is sufficient to cause a
good dea of worriment to the party
chieftains.
The sugar bill was by far the least
Objectionable of all the measures
which will come up under the head of
revenue legislation. 1t contained pro-
visions to which the Democrats have
voted adherence in every tariff revision
until the last one, yet a sufficient num-
Der of Democrats refused to support it
to have destroyed the party control of
the House if the vote had proceeded
along party lines. AS it was, however,
the Republicans could and did vote
with eagerness for this piece of Re
publican policy endorsed by a Demo
cratic committee and the bill easily
passed.
The forthcoming revenue bills will
not be of this nature, however, and the
Republicans will be justified in with
holding their endorsement unless their
views are considered in framing the
legislation. 1t has already been lem
onstrated that the Democrats cannot
accomplish anything of their own
strength and the control of the capital
legislation of the session has passed
ante the hands of the Republicans.

MADE IN AMERICA

For many years the women of this
country have been wearing oil their
hats flowers ''made in Germany"
Even a go per cent duty did not build
up the industry in this country. But
the war cut off importations, Ameri-
can manufacturers became busy, with
the result that flowers "made in Amer.
iea'' are now being used. Speaking Of
this subject recently in an interview,
Mr.. II. A. Knott, a millinery manufac-
turer, of Grand Rapids, Mich, said:
"The result will be that after this
wal is over, we will continue to buy
all our goods in this country, and all
will be satisfactory if the go per cent
duty is maintained. With the proper
theory of protection maintained, many
a line of goods that has heretofore been
in the hands Of foreigners can be made
in this country. Many an infant in
dustry born of necessity because of the
wal must be given strong protection
following the close of the war, or the
resumption of business abroad, where
wages are SO much lower than in this
country, will kill off the new indus
tries in the United States"
