 VERY OPTIMISTIC
HOME FROM THE
 LAST CHANGE r..11-5E

J. T. Bemis, Tom Stevens and others, who are interested and have been working at the Last Chance mine doing development work, re- turned to town last Saturday and purpose waiting two or three weeks before returning to their work.
 The boys report excellent showing of the mine. They have struck a five foot ledge with perfect walls and have traced it for miles. What the ore assays is not given out. but the proof of it's value is shown by the fact that every foot of that ground has been located. The req son for coming out is that the snow is still too deep to work with ad- vantage. The night before they left their camp, two feet of snow fell during the night. Along the beach, the snow is reported to be from two feet to twenty feet farth- CT inland. They report hard winter.

BYRD KILLING COST
 US MANY MILLIONS
IN. Y. Globe.l

The killing of certain birds costs the United States in food destruct- ion approximately $420,100,000 a year, according to the committee on wild life protection of the National Conservation Congress, which has announced it's intention of seeking national legislation to protect the feathered friends of man.
 Farmers and fruit growers es- pecially will be urged to consider the damage to agriculture in insect pests that could be avoided by the protection of bird life. Likewise those in the cities will be confront ed with the alleged contribution to the Thigh cost of living" by the destruction of crops.
 Three measures providing for the protection of many birds are pend :. ing before congress, and these the committee intends to press at the coming session. Among the birds that should be protected for the good they do in keeping down the insect plaques, according to the committee, are all song birds, wood- peckers, blackbirds, quails, doves, and night hawks.
