MAY SETTLE CLAIMS OF
AMERICANS AGAINST PANAMA

I Panama, Nov. ia bin in the
national assembly OF Panama TO pay
I$12,350, gold, to the estate OF Ralph
" Davis, OF Los Angeles, killed in &
riot on July 4, 1912, when Panama
| police hred with rifles on unarmed
! Americans. and 10 settle other claims
| OF Americans wounded at the time
will apparently settle, after -four
years what has been touchy matter
between Americans and Pauamans.
! Indignation ran high among the AM
orleans on the canal zone at the time
| OF the tragedy, and this was not pal
lated by the failure OF the Panama
authorities TO press investigation and
take action against guilty parties.
I The bnlief has been widespread that
the assault on the Americans found
/ IsubSurlac. favor among the Pan
/ ianans, aud the delays in getting ac-
| tion by pressure from the United
States caused many expressions OF
disgust and lack of faith in the gov
ernments inclination TO protect Am
ericans
1t was IN the investigation of this
case that Judge Dcmosthenes Arose
memo 0f the criminal court delivered
an opinion which was an harangue
against Americans and their soldiers
and found that one Of the pananman
police was at fault This one had
! been dead month al the time the
/ opinion was delivered. This action on
/ the part OF Judge Arosemeno was one
OF the circumstances prompting the
American minister TO protest recent
Ily against his appointment as attor-
ney general
by persistence the American min
ister caused the Panaman govern
ment to admit the fault of it's police
ard 20 promise indemnity II de
m6nded however. that the amount
OF indemnity should not be fixed by
/ the American government but should
be arbitrated. II proposed that on,
OF the diplomats accredited TO Pan
anna should act as arbitrator. The
/ United States agreed to the arbi-
tration but not 10 local arbitrator
| In consequence agreement was reach
ed to submit the case 10 the minis
ter of the Netherlands in Washington
who is also accredited to Panama His
award was for the payment, in all,
/ $l2,56g, and the bill have been in
troduccd 20 comply with his decision.
II passed the first reading unanim-
ously.
In addition TO Davis, who was a
civilian, and had recently come into
the city from n prospecting trip in
Panama. Private Harry Morlise,
1 known also as Maurice and Morrissey
of the Tenth infantry was killed, d.
/ ing on July Of wounds received on

We're wounded In the investigation,
( the point has been raised that Nor

/ This matter has not been settled, but

NOT DOING ANY MORE
THAN THE HOMESTAkk. h.

Probably no mining company liz
the country has paid more attention
TO the welfare work than has the
Calumet & Hecla Mining company.
and its subsidiaries, In the upper
Michigan peninsula. It's work has
not alone been confined TO safety and
rescue work, but general welfare
work, and its activities have been
along the line OF general care OF ii
men and their families and the com
munity in general.
The Calumet & Hecla aid fund was
organized in 1877 TO provide help
Tor the company employees in case OF
sickness, accidents or death. The
rules provided that every man desir-
ing TO accept benefit from the fund
should be charged SO cents pei
month through the mining office ana
every boy whose wages were under
$50 per month should be charged
a5 cents. To the amount thus col
lected the company added a similar
amount. A contributor disabled by
reason OF an accident was 10 receive
from the fund $25 per month OF
fractional part thereof.
From July /, 1877. TO January l..
1919, the men contributed total OF
s504,sSl, and the amount added by
the company was s625,4S3. The
total disbursements to members was
s1,5s6,707. The excess OF disburse-
ments over contributions was due to
the fact that some OF the surplus in
the early days was invested in Calu-
met & Hecla stock, and the dividends
accrued 10 the credit of the fund.
Beginning in 1897 there was a
period OF 40 months in which no col
lections were made from the men,
but during this time the company
paid into the treasury the same as
would have been paid by both men
and company II the former had con-
tributed. When collections from the
nen started again. the amount was
raised l-2 per cent in order to take
care of the lack of contributions. No
contributions were made by the men
after January I. 1913. as the surplus
was of sufficient size to take care of
itself. On January i. 1914. the bal
ance was s76,934.
In the fall of 1912 the new Michi-
gan compensation law came into ef-,
feet. and the rules OF the aid fund
were changed to provide for pay
rnent therefrom only in case OF sick
ness. the compensation fund taking
care OF accidents. All kinds of sick
ness were included. whether or not
connected with the occupation OF the
employe. There was. furthermore. a

IMPORTANT TRANSFER OF
PLACER MINING GROUNl

There has been recorded In the OF
ice OF the register of deeds a deed
transferring the placer claims OF the
Cascade Water Power aud Electric
transmission company 10 the Home
state Mining company. The placer
ground In question IL located OF
ON both sides OF that stream from
rimrock TO rimrock, and extends
from the falls OF the Spearhsh down
the stream for a distance OF siN miles
or 10 point just above the hydro
electric plant of the Homestake COM
pany, With the purchase OF this
tract OF land the Homestake has -e-
cured possession and ownership OF
the land on both sides or the Spear
Ash river from a long distance above
the pumping station, all Of the Little
Spearfish and all below the junction
OF that stream with the bis Spear
fish to the valley.
II Is a most valuable acquisition
by the company, for II virtually gives
il control OF all the waters that flow
through the Spearfish river before It
debouches into the valley II is said
that the object OF the company in
making this purchase has been foI
the purpose OF developing additional
horse power from the waters of the
stream, and that work on building
another big hydro-electric plant VIII
be started upon at once. 1t is esti-
mated that such plant, located at
some point on the lower end OF the
claims purchased viii develop an ad-
ditional 1000 horsepower at mean
low flow in the creek and from that
30 5000 horsepower when the creek
is high and flowing more than the
average OF water. Rumor has II that
the survey for the bitches and site
lor the generating plant have already
been made and that very little ra-
mains to be done in the nature OF
preliminaries before work of con-
struction can be entered upon II is
also asserted that this work will be
entered upon at once and that by the
opening OF spring much OF the rock
work will have been completed. The
Inauguration OF this new work will
mean the employment Of large
number OF skilled workmen and la
borers at the highest OF wages.
BY the building OF such a plant, at
the lowest states OF the river, the
company's plants along that stream
VIII be able 70 generate at least H.,
900 horsepower and every unit Of
that great amount OF energy will be
utilized in the works of the great
corporation.
The sale was made by Mrs L. c
I.ardner and X. n. ogden, owners Of
the ground and the only stockholders
of the company, both of Deadwood,
and while the price paid Is known TO
have boen a good one. II has not been
given out for publication.

women, nowadays, who have TO make
their own homes and do their own
fighting. And il is asked why, when
these lonely and independent women
are as vitality affected by government
as are the men who compete with
them in all fields OF endeavor, they
should not have the same say as the
men in determining what that gov
eInment shall be.

They spent much of the time that

the work that is being done close at

High grade is being found at sew
eral places on Silver Hill, Chloride.
Ariz. Forty sacks of high grade, al
ready sacked, were uncovered in the
old tunnel by the workmen recently
The ore is of a shipping grade and
the mystery remains TO be solved as
to why the ore was never shipped.
One theory has It that high graders
sacked the ore and either died or be

the ore away. Anyway 1t becomes the

CUSTER

Where the good old laughing water
Into French creek gently flow.
Here is where the early settlers
Built our city long ago.
Here is where they first got busy.
With the shovel, pick and pan.
On the banks OF good old French
creek,
Where the placer craze began
1t was in the early 70s,
BY old timers, I've been told.
That they rushed in her like demons
Seeking for the yellow gold
Custer soon became a city
History states-four thousand
strong
Grasping for a golden future,
Interspersed with wine and song
Custer then was up and doing.
Times We're good and prices high,
Men were working, making. spend
ing,
Custer then was not so dry.
But its gay life soon was ended
For the miners here were told
That some struck it rich at Deadwood,
Very rich in placer gold
So our thriving little city
Was deserted in day,
For their golden hope lies yonder
And they quickly moved away.
Some had stayed to guard the city.
About sixteen, so I've been told,
Who had learned soon from LIES
lesson
All that glitters is not gold.
But old Custer still is living.
Growing prosperous day by day;
High up in the mountains. healthy.
It's a winner in the fray.
Not so gay is life In Custer
AS II was in seventy-six,
For the drinks have been contested,
They have taken out the kicks.
II is in the summer season,
Many tourists come each year
For 10 rest their weary makeups,
They enjoy an outing here.
Good old Sylvan Lake near Custer.
Here the weary from life's care
Gather to this mountain denple
JUS: to breathe its pure, sweet air
Here's to Custer, dear old Custer,
With its aromatic air,
With its Lake and mountain stream
lets
And its mines so rich and rare.
With its mountains that are guard
ing
Us poor mortals. faithfully
Standing by their post of duty.
Ever till Eternity.

THE MYSTIC BIRD"
FULFILLS PROMISE

At least two numbers stand out
above all others in this weeks offer
ing at Murray theatre. They are THE
Mystic Bird" and Friend & Downing"
There are other good ones, Of course
in fact above the average to be
found in vaudeville, notably "The Two
Old Cronies," The Jordan Girls and
Willard Simms, but for real headlin-
ers the first group has the call
"The Mystic Bird" is a number in
which a beautiful little canary picks
up a number Of selections played by
boy, Master Paul, on his violin, and
gives them note for note with sweet
ness and accuracy that is little short
OF marvellous. The canary also re-
peats the songs and calls of various
birds as the boy runs them over on
The violin. AS an evidence of good
faith the bird in it's cage is carried
about the theatre SO that the audience
may be fully satisfied 1t is real bird
and does it's stunts without assistance.
In fact while the bird was being car
ried about the house he delighted all
with his singing.

There is one interesting question
which has escaped all the statisticians
They have been wandering up and
down the earth since 1t was young
computing the number of strokes the
average man takes with a razor in an
average lifetime how many words the
average woman speaks in a week; the
length OF miles of the worlds annual
poCtical output etc. etc. but no one
has ever used pencil and paper in
computing how many little flaxen-
haired girls ascend to the spotlight
annually on Little Eva's" cloud.
IL would, be safe to wager that at
least ninety per cent. of the motion
picture stars began their ascent to
fame in that lugubrious way and that
at least seventy per cent. Of these hav-
ing outgrown little Eva's wings and
cloud made their next move as Ed
iha's Burglar"
Write to your favorite movie actress
and ask her If this was not the route
she travelled Perhaps she skipped
"Editha's Burglar" but she is most I'M
usual If she did not begin her heart
racking career as Little Eva
II WAS both Eva and 'Editha,'"
laughed Miss Grace Darmond, the
pretty little star who is being featured
in The Shielding Shadow" Pathe's
wonder-seral at the Arcade Sunday,
and | remember | was so little when
I played Little Eva that cried when
did the translation scene for the first
time because instead of getting off the
cloud into heaven, as | had expected,
was lifted off into the dusty, old loft
Of a theatre"
