MINING NOTES

| The operation of the mill of the
Snowstorm Consolidated Co. at Troy
Mont, will begin in January next, &C
cording to Leo Greenough, general
manager.
| Control of the stock in the Richmond
Mining, Milling & Reducing Co. is to
be sold. The deal is said to be on a
basis of 100000, and is one of the
largest mining transactions in the
Northwest this year. Forty thousand
dollars already is said to have been
paid to Charles Heidenreich, w. S.
Norman and other Spokane owners as
first payment on a portion Of their
stock.
Several hundred tons of concen-
trates are almost ready for shipment
from the North Star mill of the Fed
eral Mining & Smelling Co. on the
east fork of the Wood river, accord
ing to a report from HALEY, Idaho.
The concentrates would be moved
but for a desire to improve their
quality by further treatment. This
is retarded by delay in the delivery Of
coal, acid, special machinery and
other essentials.
Upward of $4,000 will be expended
in the extension of development, in
increasing the capacity of the mill
and in diamond drilling on the prop
erty of the Lead and Zinc Co., mile
north Of Metaline Falls, Wash. TWEEN
ty-fve men are engaged. This num-
Der will be increased to 40 or so and
the mill will be in operation by jan
uary 1. The capacity of the mill,
now 1875 to $50 tons day, will be
raised to $50 tons in work that is in
progress. The f1otation system will
be added, and other improvements
made.
j. H. Ehlers, who is pushing the de-
velopment work on the Jim Hill and
other claims of the Sylvanite district,
near Libby, Mont, announces that a
preliminary expenditure of $4,000
will be made. A tunnel will be driv-
en- to open the vein on the Jim Hill
claim at vertical depth of 800 feet,
where it is anticipated the ore body
will be encountered. The Jim Hill is
on the same vein as the keystone and
Cold Flint properties, which were big
producers for several years, until

London, Dec. 16.-The foreign office

Would Ask Terms.
The opinions in the British press
as reflected in the latest editorials
are almost unanimous that the least
the government can do is to make a
statement of the allies aims and OBJ
jects and ask for the presentation
of the German terms.
The weekly reviews, including the
financial organs, take the same line,
as do also the provincial papers. The
only notable exception has been the
Northcliffe group, which Immediately
urged that Great Britain should ig-

The Troops Moving Northward.

Every indication points to peaceful
adjustment of the Mexican issue. The
American forces now in Mexico are
gradually consolidating their positions
in generally northward movement
which brings them steadily closer to the
boundary. While it is stated that this
movement is simply precautionary to
prevent attacks upon detachments sep
arated from the bases. yet it is strongly
suggestive of fixed policy to withdraw
the troops gradually to the boundary
and perhaps across the line into Amer
lean territory. This in undoubtedly
calculated to make for peace between
the two countries. And, moreover, it is
wise movement, for the American
troops in Mexico are at present dis
charging no particularly useful duty.
They have dispersed the organized
bandits, and it is evident that they
cannot accomplish anything further.
Their withdrawal would not signify q
yielding to compulsion, but should be
rated as an act of good faith on the
part of the United States toward a
neighbor with whom this country is now
and hopes to remain at peace

Hetty Green.

For more than generation the name
of Mrs. Hetty Green has been a house
hold word in America. This unusual
woman, almost fiercely intent upon
business of kind rarely undertaken
by her sex, was personally little known

independence Day.

A year ago the people of this country
celebrated Independence day in spirit
of thankfulness that they had been
spared from the cataclysm of war that
had swept over Europe. Today they are
observing the nationaf anniversary with
some apprehension lest war may yet be
their portion. A crisis has developed in
the long standing trouble between this
country and Mexico, and though it is at
present less acute than for some days
IN the immediate past, it is, neverthe-
less, grave, as American troops, hastily
summoned from the ranks of the people
and equipped. are sent to the interna-
tional boundary to be prepared for
events.
1t is common on this day to refer to
the spirit of 70" Has that spirit per-
sisted, and does it still animate the peo-
pie of this land7 In truth, the real spirit
of rs was very different from that in
which the average American faced the
. responsibilities and the duties of the
present. The eolonists who attacked the
power of England and made themselves
- f-"c people devoted themselves to their
cause with an unselfshness that is sell
dom found today. The recruiting for
the newly enlarged regular army and
for the lately summoned militia does not
show that this spirit is generally preva-
lent.
\ great crisis produces patriots. and
doubtless the crisis that will bring for
ward the best of citizenship has not yet
developed. The Mexican situation has
existed in one form and another for five
years and more, and the people have
grown accustomed to it, so that when it
has become acute there is disposition
to believe that it will not reach the point
of rupture. The actual test would
come If the peace were suddenly broken
and the President called for volunteers
to go south to do an unpleasant but nee
essary piece of work. There is an abid-
ing faith that in that emergency the
spirit that underlies the commemoration
of the national natal day would be once
more manifest
But the best of citizenship does not
necessarily show only when the call to
arms is sounded. Every day there are
summons to duty, in the smaller respon-
sibilities of life. The real America,
which was born 140 years ago and has
survived storms and perils and is strong
er today than ever, is the product of this
day byd day patriotism that knows no roll
of honor and seeks no reward.

The Allies Still Driving"

Continued gains for the allies are re-
ported on the western front, where the
"big drive" against the Germans is now
in progress. The third days fighting
did not yield as much ground as either
of the other two, but the advance was
significant of the power that has been
put into the thrust at the heart of the
western German position. The French
have carried their forces to within three
miles of Peronne, thus threatening the
early capture of that vitality important
strategic position, with its concentration
of highways and railways. Obviously
the seizure of Peronne is the primary
task of the French in this advance,
while the British are pounding at the
lines to the north.
1t is misleading to estimate the pro-
spective rate of military gain by that
which has been accomplished. For ex
ample, at the rate of the first German
thrust at Verdun the kaiser's forces
would by this time have been west of
Paris. In the same way the early Rus
sian advances into East Prussia and Cali
cia would have swept them to junction
with the French and English if main
tanned. And the German rush through
Belgium and France would have ended
the war in few weeks if it had been
continued. Just so the Russian drives
into Asia Minor and at present into
Galicia for the second time, if kept up
to the first pace, would soon make an
end Of things in those quarters.
These offensive movements carry far
in their initial stages and then go more
slowly. This is first because the attack
ing force spends its energy in the first
impulse and second because the force
attacked consolidates and rallies in an
inner line. A dispatch received today
states that the French have been cor
ganizing" the newly acquired positions
Immediately west of Peronne. This sug-
gests that they expect heavy counter
attack and are endeavoring to put them
selves in position for resistance. They
have carried through the area of con
fronting trenches and are now in the
zone Of the former German reserves,
having in some places penetrated even
the second line. Meanwhile the Eng
lish are advancing more slowly in the
north. encountering fierce resistance.
If Peronne is captured in all likeli-
hood it will be necessary for the Ger
man force to seek new alignment even
tually if not Immediately, for from
Peronne radiate no less than eleven
highways and several rail lines. For the
receipt and discharge of supplies it is
ideal and its transfer from German to
allied hands would make a material diff
ference in the plan of German opera
lions.

The American Federation of Labor

Today the new national home of the
American Federation of Labor is dedi-
Gated in this city with appropriate
ceremonies, in which the President of
the United States participates. This or
ganization has had remarkable and
well deserved success and has developed
into one of the important factors in
American industrial life. Its usefulness
has extended with its growth, and now
it is about to have permanent home
of its own, as BELTS its wide activity
and its importance. If the wisdom which
has generally characterized the conduct
of this organization is continuously
shown in the future, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will stand as an in
fluence for American betterment which
will benefit an immense multitude of
the people.

A Quiet Day.

This is a peaceful, quiet, truly enjoy
able day, altogether different from the
kind of day July 4 used to be a few
years ago. Every parent in Washington
has a reason this morning to feel fairly
well assured of the safety of his chill
dren, whereas in the past it was pos
sible that nightfall would find many
homes in this city desolated Instead of
the ineessant banging of meaningless
fireerackers and pistols the atmosphere
is undisturbed. There is no distraction
from the thoughts that should be stimu-
lated by the anniversary. Tonight there
will be public exhibition of fireworks
that will give pleasure without causing
any pain or involving any risk. It will
be a fitting climax to an occasion of ma
tionai significance

at the top figure. Others decided
against going fishing, and so put up a
ticket, Of their own. Of course, they
could see that the ticket would be re-
publican asset, and so it proved. In a
small way it assisted in the election of
Mckinley. The future, all the gold
democrats. whether in the Mckinley and
Hobart camp or in the Palmer and
Buckner camp, left in the lap of the
gods.
Later, some of the democrats who
had voted for Mckinley became repub-
licans, and have been voting republican
tickets ever since. The Palmer and
Buckner men found their way back
home. The one fling of independence
was enough. By 1900 they were demo-
Gratis again all right, supporting Mr..
Bryan that year on a reaffirmation of
the very platform they had rebeHed at
four years before. Some politicians,
copying an illustrious example, move in
q mysterious way their wonders to per-
form.
A strict analogy does not run between
the gold democrats of that day and the
uncompromising bull moosers of this
day. 1t may be interesting to note,
however, that among the democrats who
stoutly opposed Organism in its earliest
manifestations was Woodrow Wilson.
But in time he changed his mind, ac-
cepted in public speech in this town
the leadership of Mr.. Bryan, and six
months later the nomination for Presi-
dent at Mr.. Bryan's hands.

always upon managing her own cases,
with the result that an attorney seldom
lasted in her service longer than year.
Hers was not life to be commended.
She did little that was good beyond her
own financial success. She participated
in few public movements, was not in
terested in the welfare Of the people
as whole, and if she gave to charity
it was with extreme secrecy. She lived
a lonely life, probably enjoying herself
according to her lights, but an object of
genuine commiseration on the part of
others. who did not envy her the wealth
from which she derived so little true
pleasure and which was of so little value
to the world save as mere fund. Hetty
Green will be remembered as a woman
who might have been one Of the worlds
great benefactors, but who missed her
chance.
