MINING NOTES

Hon. Lorne A Campbell, British Co
lumbia's new minister of mines, was
elected to the British Columbia par
lament in Rossland Saturday.
President John D. Ryan of the Ana
conda Copper Mining Co., in a circu-
lar letter to the shareholders, states
that the net earnings of the company
during 1915 will be more than &c.,
100000.
Additions and improvements to the
SLOGAN Star mill at Nelson, B. c., are
to be made with view to increasing
the percentage of saving from the ore,
now ranging from IS to rs per cent to
95 per cent.
A shortage of zinc similar to that
which exists in copper is impending
in the view of many we'll informed
metal factors, says the Wall Street
Journal. Zinc concentrates selling at
$125 ton, advancing ore prices and
the active and expanding demand for
prompt spelter resulting in sales at
21.4 cents in London and 20 cents in
the domestic market, are cited as war
ranting this belief.
Mont, which Butte people have
financed at the instigation of Richard
Daxon, is an old property in the east
ern section of the Occur d'Alenes and
is considerably developed. The mine
is developed by shaft and winze to a
depth of 600 feet, and the vein has
been more or less extensively explored
on six levels. Upward of $685. 900 has
been expended in it's development and
equipment. 1t has a good hosting
plant and pumps. The property covers
200 acres of patented claims, and a
fine water right and mill site. 1t is
the intention to build a concentration
at an early date.
Harry L. Day, president and gen.
eral manager of the Federal Mining
and Smelling company, operating the
Morning mine at Mullan, Last Chance
at Wardner, Frisco and Green-hill-
Cleveland mines at Mace, and the
Iron Mountain, rendered his resigna-
ton Wednesday to take efefct immedi-
ately. F. H. Brownell, former presi-
dent and chairman of the board of di-
rectors, has been elected president of
the company, and H. A. Guess, for
several years in charge of experiment
tai work for the company, has been
elected managing director.
Trail SmeIter Output.
During the calendar year 1915 the
smelter and refinery of the Canadian
Consolidated Co. at Trail, B. c., pro-
duced, in addition to some zinc, the

British Merchantmen Hostile.

The instructions direct the German
ambassador particularly to tell Secre-
tary Lansing that British merchant
men, armed ostensibly only for de-
Tense, have not assumed the character
of peaceful traders, but that, on the
contrary, they carry guns for the es-
pecial purpose of attacking German
submarines. To support this claim the
Berlin foreign office has sent the am
bassador for presentation to the state
department, a list of at least 20 in
cidents where it is claimed British
merchant ships have attacked subma-
rines.

Activities Lessening.

London, Feb. 29.-With the lessen
ing of the activity of the contending
forces to the north of Verdun, the
French in the Woevre region, east Of
Verdun, are using their artillery to
break up German preparations for
further advances toward the fortress.
At various points the fire of the
French guns has prevented the Ger
mansf rom launching offensives.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1916-03-03
Orders Already Issued.

Confidential advices received from
Berlin state that German and Austrian
submarine commanders lready have
been given their new orders, and that
from midnight Tuesday they will be
authorized to sink without warning all
armed merchant ships of the enemies
of Germany. 1t was said also that
many of the submarine commanders
probably had left their bases on voy-
ages, and that even should the United
States request the postponing of the
opening of the campaign it would be
impossible to get word to many of the
submarines. 1t was tated, however,
that so far neither the United States
nor any other nation had asked for a
postponement.
While Count Won Bernstorff and
other officials of the German embas-
sy declined to discuss the instructions
from Berlin in any way, it is believed
the ambassador will present the moral
ly to Secretary Lansing.

Grave Concern.

ashington.-Results of the new
Austro-German submarine campaign
against armed ships of the entente
allies beginning at midnight are await
ed by the United States with grave
concern.
Although under their instructions
Teutonic naval commanders are au-
thorized to sink without warning all
armed merchantmen they encounter.
it is understood they have been told
to make sure if possible that no Am
erican citizens are aboard any ship
attacked. Furthermore, in the latest
communication regarding submarine
warfare, Germany has assured the
United States that the new orders
were so formulated as to prevent the
destruction of enemy liners ION ac-
count of their armament unless such
armament is proved"

Germany Stands Pat.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Germany, in
a formal note presented by Count Won
Bernstorff to Secretary Lansing today,
reiterates assurances regarding the
future conduct of submarine warfare
given in the Lusitania case, declares
those assurances have not been modi-
fled by the memorandum setting forth
its intention to treat armed merchant
men of the entente allies as auxiliary
cruisers after midnight tomorrow, and
attempts to justify the issuance of the
memorandum by presenting evidence
and assertions designed to prove that
the British government has instructed
merchantmen to use their armament
for purposes of attack, in violation of
assurances given the United States.
Later it was said at the state de-
partment that while the United States
stood unalterably for the right of mer-
chant ships to carry guns for defense,
it was not now and never had been
contending that Americans could trav-
ell with immunity on ships having or
ders to act Extensively.

TESTS BOOMERANG
TO IMPROVE AERQS

'Superdreadhpu$ht aeroplanes that
will be faster, larger and safer than
any ever built may result from expert
ments in boomerang hurting, conduct
ed by Claude Hoag Robertson, grad
uate student of physics at University
of Chicago.
Robertson's boomerang is so shap-
ed it passes through the air with the
least possible friction and without
losing it's equilibrium. He intends to
apply the principles Of his boomerang
to the new aeroplane. On the basis
of his experiments, he maintains, the
speed and stability of aeroplanes can
be vastly increased.

COUNTY BOARD WASTES
$4,000 ON BRIDGES
Continued from Page One)

Along this entire stretch it is impos-
sible for two cars to pass. The road
by way Of the curve is about as bad
as it would be straight across even
without grading Or culverts. For a
nominal expense, declares President
Roberts of the Burleigh County Auto
mobile club, a perfect road could be
put directly across. An alternative
would be the condemning of right Of
way on the high land on the further
side. ..n
The cost of condemning would be
trivial. The county board was offered
year ago the 100 acres through
which the detour at Apple creek pass
es for $4,000 A plan was suggested
at the time to have a poor farm there.
But road experts point out that it
would not be necessary to buy a farm,
all that would have to be done in eth
er case would be to condemn the right
of way.

of the place, and that while originally
started as a society, the place devel-
oped into a blindpig, in which affairs
were wholly controlled by the CHIEF
of police and John Ehret.
1t is further alleged that members
of the society received no benefit ex-
cept the privilege of buying liquor,
and that all profits from the sale of
memberships and from the sale of
drinks were SO diverted that the chief
guardian of the welfare of the city
and the president of the organization
received the benefit.

Reno, New, Aug. 23.-Charles Evan

here late today, that the prestige OF
the United States has been cut prac-
itically in half as a result Of its deal

again took the administration to task
for retiring trained men from diplo-
matte service to make room for men

said he deplored the fact that the
present administration has ''to such
"a large degree disregarded and VIC

in this country" said the nominee, in
discussing the Mexican situation.

our ideals and have prosperity.
J ''Eut that does not mean that our
rights are to be ignored, that we are
to be lacking in the protection of
those rights that are known to per-
