BRITISH WAR DEPT
HEARST'S EXAMIl
Hearst's Chicago Examiner was
named as faker Of news in an Off
cial statement of the British war de-
partment press bureau yesterday
The Journal and American of New
York city were also hit by the bureau
which ousted Hearst correspondents
because news dispatches were re-
written and gaTbled after they left
London.
According to the British bureau,
the Examiner has been handing Chi
cagoans bum news printed under the
headlines of the International News
Service, but never sent out from Eng
land.
A specific instance on. which the
British military authorities Ousted
Hearst reporters from their offices
occurred on Sept. 2. The bureau
statement yesterday outlines it like
this:
"On Sept. 2 the Chicago Examiner
published message purpOrting to
come by the International News
Service, headed: London in Flames;
Greatest Air Raid; Zeppelin Shot
Down
This message stated the airship
fell within the city limits in an attack
on London and resulted in the most
damage to the city of any raid since
the war began. Large fires are re-
ported to have started in many places
from explosive bombs. Official re-
ports are anxiously awaited by the
people, from whom all thoughts of
sleep have departed

national News Service in London was
asked to produce copies of his cables.

ed and it was found that none of the

YER NEWS FAKER
In the case of the New York Amer
lean, on June 8, a story was print
ed under the head Germans Win
Greatest Sea Battle" The yarn
started out with a statement in which
the British admiralty was supposed
to have admitted defeat in the Jut-
land fight.
Hearst service managers in Lon
don were questioned by the bureau.
1t was found that the service man
ager in New York had rewritten the
London dispatches and that the New
York American had doped them up
further, according to the British.
Another story in the American on
April % said that all Ireland was
ablaze with rebellion and that it was
admitted in both houses of parlia-
ment. Once more the London boss
for Hearst was called. Hearst man
ayers then wrote to the bureau, say
ing:
New York had a full report of ru-
mors from Irish sources on the day
before the revolt and all the newspa-
per Offices were told to watch for an
important cable from Valencia am
pitying your dispatches. Our re-
write man inadvertently used some
Of these reports. 1t will not happen
again"
The New York Journal printed a
story that Lord WinbOurne was cap
tured by Irish rebels on April 26.
British bureau denied that any such
news came out Of their offices.
Hearst's reply to the British cen
sors is that his service is the only
one that has been printing the real
news of the war without giving it a
pro-English slant. He says the Brit
ishers are sore because Of this.

Senator ID. w. Davis of American
Falls, beaten by 572 votes for gov

a Spokane visitor yesterday upon his
return FROM the Lewiston stock show,
disclaimed emphatically any intention
of contesting the election. Says Satur-
days Review.
There was no fraud" he said.
Votes perhaps were counted in diff
ferent manner than the voter intended,
but there are three entirely different
interpretations given to the provisions
of the Idaho election laws, SO / can't
say 1t was misinterpretation.
Blames National Committee.
Il am convinced, however, that Idaho
could have been carried by the repub-
licans with proper campaigning meth
DDS. The national committee did not
realize the needs of the west. Idaho,
like Washington, was given no pro
gressive national speakers. The vote
of progressives for Wilson and the
votes of women, influenced by the
peace argument, were responsible for
Idaho being found in the democratic
column. If the Hughes western tour
had been handled better he would have
won the election

Black Pine Let's Contract.

NIX C1ty, ldan0, Dec. Manager
s. j. Rieben of the Black Pine Mining
company has let contract to I'll. T.
Thompson, John Louden and Jack
OLeary for drifting 100 feet. this
drift will be an extension of the lower
tunnel, which is in 1850 feet on the
vein. The last go feet was run
through an ore shoot from two to four
feet wide, which shows some of the
richest ore found in the Elk City dis
trict.
A chunk of the ore weighing about
100 pounds has been sent to the head
quarters of the company at Philadel-
phia. This specimen is impregnated
throughout with gold in fakes as
large as a finger nail Twelve inches
at the face of the drift is of this high
grade ore.
An upraise is being made to the
shaft which was sunk to depth Of
20 feet from the surface on what is
thought to be the same ore body. The
ore body recently encountered is $50
feet below the bottom of the shaft.
The mill, which has ben running
on ore from the shaft, has been shut
down until spring on account of a
shortage of water caused by the cold
weather, the mercury last week rang
ing from 9 to % degrees below zero.
The ore bins are full of high grade,
which was taken from the new ore
shoot
Mill at Full Time.
The mill at the Mineral Zone mine
is running on full time. A new CON
contractor has been placed and other
improvements made to increase the
capacity.
| Fifteen hundred feet of pipe line was
recently laid and a pumping plant in
| stalled on American river to furnish
water for the mine and mill and elm
mate all danger of a water shortage
during the extremely cold weather.
With the exception of a short time
the mill was shut down for the install
lation of new machinery, this prop
erty has produced continuously for
more than two years. Eleven men are
employed at the mine and mill.
Bond Quartz Claims.
The Mother Lode Gold Belt and
Hobo's Dream quartz claims have been
bonded to Seattle people for $4,000
These claims join the Black Pine
| group, ON which a rich ore body was
recently opened. The bond requires
that work shall be started within -four
months and be continued for year
or until the purchase price is complet
ed.

ed by Herman Book. Instead the
Eimers Hardware Co. have taken a
lease on on the structure, and Mr.. Elm
ers informed the reporter that upon the
completion of the building, they would
move their hardware stock and garage
