St Louis. Mo. June 15-The achieve
meEts of the Wilson administration in
enacting beneficial legislation and in
keeping The country at peace with
out sacrifice of the national honor were
pronounced epoch making in American
! history by Senator Ollie NJ. James, OF
Kentucky, in his address today as per
manent chairman of the Democratic
| National Convention
! During three years of its national
control said Senator james. .'democ-
Tracy has enacted into law more pro.
/ greSsiye remedial legislation than the
nation has ever had written upon its
statute books since its birth. In form
er national contests in the last two
decades our party came as d prophet,
Today we come with deeds, not words:
| with performance. not promise. The
Democratic party has kept its word
With the American people We have
itnade good
The chairman reviewed at length the
Legislative record Of The administration
and eulogized the President for his
direction of foreign affairs. The demo
Gratis. he said, had enacted tariff law
under which monopolies were clrbed
and unexampled prosperity obtained;
banking law taking the money con

and making panics no longer possible,
and many reforms measures of lesser
! importance
No Bully Nor Coward
He declared President Wilson's
Mexican policy and his course in pro
ltecting American rights against the
! iencroachments of European belliger-
ents had shown all the world that the
| President neither bullies the weak
nor fears the strong"
In a concluding appeal for the tri-
umph Of patriotism above politics, Sen
ator James said the denomination of
such a president in partisan convention
ought not to be necessary, and that to
Idiscredit him might palsy the hand
THAT could write the peace treaty OF
the world
At the outset the Senator referred
lbriefly to President Wilson's campaign
against lobbying IN Congress and point
ed out that under this administration

the first time since the Civil War when

The largest lens is 300 by 100 feet The It, upon which the final payment of S50,0O0 purchase was made on May l, has shipped 15,OOO tons during the past year Thirty men are employed. The work of the past year consists of 1000 feet of drifts and raises and 1900 feet of diamond drill holes Dia mond drilling is still going on at the It and the Mamie to determine the extent of the ore bodies. The It is shipping at the rate of 1000 tons monthly.
 The Mt Andrew mine, at the head of Kasaan bay, 27 miles from Ketchikan, is shipping 1,5O0 tons per month. The group consists of 21 claims, owned by the Mt. An drew Mining Co.,, of New York, The claims were bonded on June 1, 1915, by w. J. Rogers, who is now directing the mining opera tions. The adits aggregate 1000 feet Total shipments from the property amount to 90,000 tons. Total principal development work in an adit that increases the depth on the ore body from 150 feet to 46O feet This tunnel lacked 80 feet of being the necessary 1,560 feet in length to reach ore on June 16 The deposit contains mag |, netite and chalcopyrite, with some gold and silver. New buildings will be started soon. Twenty-nine men are employed The property is sit uated at an elevation of 1900 feet above sea level The ore is con veyed to the dock in Riblett aerial tram 4,2OO feet long. En- gineers of the Alaska -Gastineau Co., are conducting an examination of the property. The Mt. Andrew mine is on the border of the same erup- tive as the Mamie Axel Carlson is superintendent

 Mathewson should make good manager He has long been Nc Graw's chief a'd. He has absorbed the best things in the McGraw cur riculum and he has ideas of hls own.
 Big Six could quit baseball now and live in comfort the rest of his days He has saved over Sl00,0o0 He will probably never have all! less. because he is a mighty judi ctous handler of money.
 Ball players who know him well like Mathewson, but he does not make intmates readily. He was once inclined to be rather cold and distant. which was due to bash fitness as much as anything else but of late years that side of his nature has changed and he is easi- CT and more cordial in his manner.
 He has a college education, and he has improved on that education by constant reading. It is a plea sure to talk to him; it is a plea sure to associate with him. By and large this Christy Mathewson is grand character and deserving of good fortune wherever and how ever he goes It will be many a year before baseball sees his like again.

 Development work is being car ried on steadily on the Valparaiso group of gold claims, near Dolomi. The group is operated by the Prince ton Mining and Milling Co.,, with B. A. Eardley as manager Ed c. Morse has charge of the 1O-stamp mill, together with a Chilean mill
 The Lakinaw-Tagish Co.,, of which J. l.. Harper is manager, has taken options on the Westlake King prop erty, known as the Portland group, on the north arm of Moira sound, as we'll as on the Cymru mine, in the same locality. On June bond was taken on the Portland group upon which $6,00O worth of work has been done. No shipments of ore have been made as yet As says show zinc, lead, copper, and silver, in a Assure vein four feet wide. The maximum depth attain ed is 130 feet As zinc is the prin- cipal ingredient of the ore, ship ments will be made to Oakland, Calf, where special treatment will be given. At the northern end of the property is a gold-lead de-, posit, from which shipments are planned to the Trail, B. C.. shelter. Ore mined from the Portland group is conveyed 1000 feet on an aerial tram to Mineral lake, taken across the lake l 1-2 miles with scows to connect with the Cymru tramway. Five hundred tons of ore has been mined and is ready for shipment by July IS. A compressor plant and air drills will be available soon, and the tram extended around Min eral lake to avoid the water haul. Ten men are employed
 On the Cymru property shaft has been sunk 100 feet A three drill compressor is in operation, as well as a gasoline hoist. A one mile narrow gauge track with gaso- line locomotive connects the mine with tide water Three hundred tons of ore will be shipped to the smelter at Tacoma early in July.
 In the Portland Canal district everything is quiet. The season has been backward and all eXplora | tory work has been retarded The Alaska -Gastineau company has an option on the Missouri group of claims, on which some work will yet be done II. R.

WHAT HURJA SAYS OF
 KETCHIKAN DISTRICT.

The following article by Emil Ed ward Hurja, dealing in mining in the Ketchikan district of Alaska is from the Mining X Scientific Press of July 27 It will be of es- pecial interest to the people of Fairbanks and vicinity for the req son that MT. Hurja is now in this district seeking material for an. other such story,
 Ketchikan's copper mining indus try has taken new lease on life, by help of the higher price for the metal Six properties, all of them on Prince of Wales island, are ship ping regularly. The total tonnage per month from these six properties amounts to 12,000 tons, with odd shipments from prospects, and mines undergoing development. Three hun dred men are employed
 The district is still in the devel- upment stage Examinations are being made in many localities, the most interesting being that of the Al aska-Gastneau party in charge of F. B. Hyder, of Juneau, Enoch Per kins and o. P Rogers assisting. This party has been examining prop critics in and about Ketchikan since May l, and during the six weeks following visited nearly all of the prospects in the district. Some op- tions have been taken and further inspection of some of the claims is being made Other exploratory work is that of the I.akinaw Tag ish company, in charge of J. L. liar per.
 The principal mining is being done by the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelling & Power Co.,, on the Mamie and It claims. Both of these claims, together with a third, the Dean. on which work has been suspended were taken up by the Granby company in 1913 on work ing options. Both claims have since been paid for by ore taken out dur ing the course of development. The work of the company is in charge of Nelson w. Sweetser. W. J Coulter Is foreman at the Mamie mine, and Bert Ross of the It. The Granby holdings are on kasaan pc ninsula, near Hadley, 30 miles north. west of Ketchikan. The Mamie mine, which is shipping at the rate of 5000 tons per month to the An yox smelter. has 2,500 feet of work ings Eighty-five men are employed A Riblett aerial tram 7,200 feet long carries the ore from the mine to the bunkers at Hadley, where ocean going scows are loaded and con voyed by tugs to the shelter.

PLAYERS MUST GUARD
 AGAINST BEANBAll

Just short time ago Johnny Dodge, of Mobile. was killed by a pitched ball, Charley Mcdonald, of Birmingham, was hit by a bad pitch in a game at Memphis and had to be sent to a hospital The pitcher, however, is not blamed in this incl dent any more than was Tom Rogers in the death of Dodge. It develops that Dodge had habit of running up on the ball and often had beer warned that he some day would be hurt. And it happened just as he had been told. All the legisla- tion in the world against the SO called bean ball will not save bat ters who do not properly guard against being hit
