WEATHER OBSERVATIONS
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
Weather Bureau.)

The western low which is central
over Kansas has been attnded by light
rains on the north Pacific coast and
in the northern Rocky mountain states
and by showers and thunderstorms in
the Missouri and upper Mississippi
valleys. A rainfall of 1.S0 inches oc-
Cured at Omaha. The crest of the
northeastern area of high pressure
and fair, cool weather has moved to
New York and Pennsylvania and rela-
lively high pressures also prevail on
the Pacific slope and in western Can
ada, with lower temperatures in the
upper Missouri valley. Owing to the
eastward movement of these condi
tions, unsettled weather is indicated
for this vicinity toninght and Friday,
probably with showers, and with cool

TIE latest discovery of latent talent
at the Fine Arts studio is the case OF
Jewel Carman. With Fay Tincher she
plays leading role in the support OF
DeWolf Hopper in his new Triangle
comedy, Sunshine Dad" to be seen at
the Majestic tonight. Miss Carman
has had practically no stage expert
ence; but Producer Edward Dillon,
who staged Sunshine Dad" saw In
her great screen possibilities. A few
days of earnest rehearsals and Miss
Carman qualified for her part. Her
blonde hair and blue eyes, and person
ality, register excellently on the
screen. 1t is likely that Miss Carman
will be retained as regular member
of the Fine Arts company.

COLONEL RooSEvELTs LETTER
INsuREs HUGHES ELECTION.

The letter of Colonel Roosevelt to
the progressive national committee In
which he finally and formally declined
the progressive nomination for presl-
dent is the closing scene in the reunion
of the republican party and is a fore
cast of the triumphant election of
Charles Evans Hughes. The letter is
of course just what was expected after
the colonel's tentative refusal TO ac-
cept the nomination. Much of the
colonePs letter is devoted to paying
high tribute to purposes that actuated
the progressives in the formation of a
new party and to the good results
that have thereby been achieved.
Whether or not his high ecomium is
fully merited is phase of the letter
which need not now be discussed, for
he frankly states that 1T has become
entirely evident that the people under
existing conditions are not prepared
to accept new party" Since the per-
sonality of Colonel Roosevelt was all
that made the progressive party pos
sible, his declaration In effect marks
the end of that organization. It mat
ters not that a few extremists refuse
to accept the conclusion of Colonel
Roosevelt and insist upon placing a
candidate for president in the field or
oppose the endorsement of Hughes:
their action will be without the mag |
netic influence of Roosevelt and will
attract an insignificant following. AS
national organization the progressive
party has gone the way of other third
parties which thrived for brief periods

The Hugo Gold & Copper Mining

property near Saltese. 1t is located q
short distance from town on the south
side Of the river and the property is
crossed by the Milwaukee railroad.
The vein is large one and crops out
strong on the surface and carries more
or less ore. A tunnel has cut the
vein, from which drifts have been run
about so feet, disclosing an excellent
grade Of copper ore. Another cross
cut is being run and has now been
extended about 500 feet. This will
give an additional depth of probably
400 feet and 1t is believed that when
the vein Is reached body of COM

GERMAN VOTE HAD NOTHING TO
DO WITH HUGHES NOMINATION.

The attempt of the democratic press
to make 1t appear that the nomination
of Justice Hughes was the result of
a demand from the German voters of
the. country Is not meeting with the
success anticipated by those who are
responsible for 1t. In fact 1t has met
with no success whatever, for the
reason that II Is too absurd to receive
serious consideration from thoughtful
voters. If there was ever a candidate
who responded to practically unani-
nous call of his party that candidate
is Charles Evans Hughes. If there
was ever a candidate who is absolute
ly free from the influence Of any fac
ton, native or foreign born, that can
didate Is Mr.. Hughes. 1t was freedom
from such influences, and his proved
ability to keep himself free, that ac-
counts for his strength in the party
ard with the American people at large.
1t is no doubt true that German voters
as a rule will support Mr.. Hughes, and
1t is equally true that they would
support any other candidate nomin-
ated by the national convention.
German citizens are normally repub-
leans and they will support the nom
inee of their party just the same as
other republicans. Possibly they will
show little more zeal In their sup
port of Mr. Hughes than they have
displayed In support of other can
dldates, but in this they will nor differ
from republicans In general wh1 ar
opposed to the adm nistration of presi-
Cat Wilson. although there may be
different grounds Tor the opposition.
In giving their su port to Mr.. Hughes
the German voters are simply acting

come an end to war prices and the
spelter market will return to figures
approaching normal. 1t is then that
the question of freights and treat
ment of zinc ores will be one of vital
concern to the many of the zinc pro
ducers and prospective producers in
this district. At this time practically
all the zine ores of this district are
smelted at plants in Kansas, oklahoma
and in states further east where ma
tural gas or cheap fuel Is available.
The freight rate on the long haul at
prevailing prices is already serious
handicap, and with a return to normal
prices the cost of transportation may
become practically prohlbitive except
In the case of mines operated under
the most favorable conditions. 1t is
understood that this situation Is what
prompted the movement to erect an
electrolytic plant in the northwest at
point that will insure a very low
freight rate from the mines of the
district. The plant of the Anaconda
company at Great Falls will be in
operation by the first of September
but 1t is understood that the company
will require the entire capacity to
handle the ores from it's own mines.
The first essential for the successful
operation of an electrolytic plant is
an abundance of cheap electric power
and for this reason the northwest is
a most inviting field for the establish
ment of such plants. The mountain
streams afford an unlimited amount
of water power, and the unqualified
success that has been made In the
electrolytic reduction of zinc by the
Anaconda company Is certain to be
followed by other plants in the north
west This means that the zinc min
ers OF the northwest will eventually be
independent of the distant shelters.

Mining company. The scheme is to
set aside a sum equal to per cent
of the dividends paid annually and
distribute 1t among the men that have
been in the employ Of the company
for one year or more. The object, as
stated by the directors, is ito estab-
fish a cooperative system by which
the employees of the company may
participate in profits" AS our readers
are aware, the u. S. Steel corporation
set aside a large block of stock for
purchase, at a relatively low price,
by its employees, and thereby intro
duced profit sharing system, out OF
which the men must have done well.
| 1t Is not unusual for companies to add
bonus to the Christmas payroll, and
most of the big copper companies
have established a sliding scale of
wages based on the price of copper,
but the Nevada Wonder plan is an ex.
ample of direct profit sharing by a
mining company. The second incident
to which W, refer is the opening Of
town club a; Pl"m,u nth. The building
is the gift of the Plymouth Consolidat-
ed Gold Mines and Is meant for the
use not only of those working in that
company's mine, but of the town
folks generally The management is
in the hands of a committee of seven
members Of the club, four of whom re-
present the employees of the company
and three represent the other resi-
dents of the town. The dues are 81
per month. The purpose, besides pro-
viding comfortable quarters and order
ly amusement, is to bring the whole
community together on a friendly
foundation. A relations committee
is chosen by the members to discuss
and adjust grievances or misunder-
standings; in short, instead of the
company's interest being treated as
alien, it is made a part of the local
welfare. Trivial differences between
employer and employee will be adjudl-
Gated before they become serious
also any attempt by avowedly anar-
chistic organizations, like the Western
Federation of Miners, to make trouble
will be rendered fruitless by the
growth of community spirit, likely to
help the mine management so long
as it shows itself reasonable and fair
to all concerned. After all, the p sople
of the town in which, or near which,
a mine is situated have a direct In
terest in its welfare, in the continuity
of its operations, and the mainten-
ance of its success. We welcome any
thing that will destroy the idea that
the employees are helots and the en-
ployers satraps of industry. Coopera-
ton is essential to industrial success
and fair dealing is the direct way to
ensure such cooperation.

EXCELSIOR TO BEGIN WORK.
Property Located Above Burke In
Favorable Mineral Section.

The group of claims owned by the
Excelsior Mining company, situated
about three miles above Burke. will
soon be the scene of active develop
ment IL the plans of the management
and a number Of stockholders prevail.
The property is practically surrounded
by such well known properties as the
Old Veteran, Occur d'Alene Champion
and Great Western, and the good re-
suits being accomplished in that Sec
tion together with the strong vein that
passes through the Excelsior ground
naturally renders Excelsior stock
holders eager to get action on their
property The development of the pro-
perty now consists Of a crosscut 800
feet in length and a recent survey in
dicates that the vein should be reach
ed within 300 feet and which will give
a depth Of from 500 to 1000 feet. The
Excelsior has 100 feet of the vein
and possibly more. It Is the same
vein as the Great Western and the
crosscut Will encounter 1t about 1000
feet east of the Great Western ground.
The property is under the management
of Charles Criswell, miner Of many
years experience who has long been
shift boss at the Hecla 1t is ex-
pected that arrangements will soon be
made to get supplies up to the pro-
perry and to award a contract to ex-
tend the crosscut to the vein. The
stock of the Excelsior is largely held
