articles dealing with the subject. The first con-

A. sister work Of the Shiloh memorial was the
erection by the U. D. c. of the beautiful Con.
federate monument In Arlington cemetery n few
years ago. The cost of both memorials was the
same, $4,000. The unveiling OF the Arlington
monument took thousands OF interested specta-

occasion, attracted the attention Of the whole
country for its notably generous spirit and SYM

Mrs. Burgess that her display was
far more pleasing and the values
better by comparison. Many

Mine Inspector Pleased
With French Flag

Thomas Dunstone, the state
mine inspector, visited the French
Flag mine Wednesday, and after
putting in considerable time in
looking over the plant and the
underground workings expressed
himself as satisfied that the law
had been complied with in every
respect. He also was somewhat
astonished at the showing in the
property and the permanent ap-
pearance of the vein. Mr.. Dun
stones opinion should be recog-
nized as he has inspected many a
mine besides having operated
quite a few.
Ore from the tunnel level is rap
idly accommodating on the loading
plats and considerable tonnage
is now awaiting shipment, that 1t
is estimated will run between $40
and $40 to the ton. Operations
have also begun in the 235-foot
level in which there are large
bodies of ore already blocked out

The production from this level
should be large.
