EUROPEAN INDUSTRY ACTIVE.

The political campaign is a thing of
the past, but the problems of the
United States are things of the pres
ent and future. In one of his speeches
at Shadow Lawn, President Wilson
ridiculed the claim that European ma
lions are engaged in manufacturing a
great body of products which will be
dumped on this country after the war.
Within "a hours after that statement
was made, the submarine freighter
Deutschland appeared in New Lon
don, Conn.,. with $1O,0OOO0O worth of
goods direct from Germany. When
Germany can send us goods under
such circumstances as these, what
will she not do when the war is over
and her ships are free to traverse the
ocean without let or hindrance either
from foreign countries or from pro-
tective tariff laws of the United
States.

WHEN ABUSE OF A CANDIDATE
IS NOT ABUSE.

The political supporters of Presi-
dent Wilson have characterized the
campaign just closed as one In which
the president was subjected to unjust
criticism and deplorable abuse. That
men are at times prone to go to ex-
tremes In the heat of a campaign In
attacking the opposition is sometimes
true, but in this case, even since the
smoke of battle has cleared away, it
Is impossible to see wherein the presi-
dent was treated unfairly by his OPP
ponents. The criticism throughout
the campaign was limited to the off,
cial acts of the administration and
these must necessarily form the issues
which must be decided by the voters.
Commenting upon the alleged abuse
of the president, Goodwin's Weekly
says
This awakens the question of what
abuse of a candidate for a public Of
flee consists of. The truth is not
abuse.
When man who has held a pub
lie office offers himself for reelection,
his official acts are legitimate sub
jects of fair criticism, and when his
acts can not on any reasonable n.y.
pothesis be construed as coming from
aught but a selfish and unworthy mo-
tive, 1t is fair and not abuse, to so
charge.
For instance, when we remember
the presidents response when assured
that murder and rapine were being in
flicted upon Americans in Mexico, and
then the sudden rushing Of the fleet
to Vera Cruz and his explanation of
why he did 1t, it could not help but be
a shock to any man who can reason
from cause to effect.
Again, when we, read the real opin-
ion of the president Of laboring men as
expressed in studied address only a
few years ago, and then contempIat-
ed his lying down, prostituting the
sovereignty of the country over which
he is chief magistrate and assessing
the people of the United States $780,
100000 per annum at the beck of two
or three labor unions; to tell the facts
and to draw the inevitable conclusion
that the object behind his act was an
utterly selfish one is not abuse.
mo matter what services he may
perform in future, what fame he may
achieve, that act will be like the
damned spot on the hand of Lady
Macbeth and will cling to him for
ever"

LOCATION or MINING EXPERT.
MENTAL STATION.

After Van H. Manning, director of
the bureau of mines, had visited the
northwest to investigate the various
proposed locations for the expert
mental mining station, it was an
nounc that Secretary Lane would de-
fer giving out his decision until after
the election. Four northwest states
were represented in the applicants for
the station, Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and oregon. 1t was charged
that political considerations influence
ed the secretary of the interior in
postponing action until after the cleo
ton, but whether that Is true or not,
the time has now arrived when a de-
finite announcement may be expected
| If politics is playing a part in the
matter, 1t may be assumed that Ore
gon is now eliminated, as the electoral
vote of that state goes to the repub-
lican candidate, while the other three
states are on an equal footing so far
as their political attitude toward the
administration is concerned. Butte,
Moscow, Spokane and Seattle are the
three applicants which are believed to
be under consideration. A strong
showing has been made in support OF
Moscow, where the excellent facilities
of the state university have been
placed at the disposal of the expert
mental station as we'll as numerous
other inducements which should car
ny much weight with the secretary in
making his decision. The secretary
will no doubt be governed by the re-
commentator of Director Manning,
and while he has of course given no
intlmation of what his recommends
ton would be- it is known that he was
most favorably impressed by the adj
vantages offered by Moscow. Geo
graphically it is the ideal location for
the station, having in view the large
territory to be served, and is in a
great mining state which in itself pro-
yides large field for the experimental
work of the station.

REGISTRATION LAW PERMITS OF
ILLEGAL VOTING.

The Miner has heretofore pointed
out the weakness of the registration
law of Idaho, and In the light Of the
recent election 1t again calls atten-
ton to its failure. The system by
which the poll list is carried forward
from year to year and which relieves
voters from registering for subsequent
elections affords an easy means for
fraudulent voting by permitting those
who are not entitled to vote to imper-
senate men who have left the county,
but whose. names are still carried on
the poll books. There is no doubt
that many fraudulent votes were cast
in this county in the recent election
through this means and 1t Is practi-
cally impossible to prevent its recur-
renee with every election.
Hundreds of votes were sworn In
by the election judges and there Is
reason to believe that most of them
were not entitled to vote. This is a
feature of the election law that should
also be repealed. AS long as this is
permitted and the present system of
registration is maintained, there will
be many fraudulent votes cast and in
many cases enough to control the
election.
Like most election reform measures
the present election law of this state
is failure and permits abuses which
could not have been perpetrated I'M
der the old election law. That law
provided that every citizen must reg
lister for each election, that the regis
tration books be kept open until 8 in
the evening of the Saturday preceding
election, and that If citizen had not
registered he could not vote. That
law should be reenacted.

EARNING s5o,oOo,ooo THIS YEAR.

UP to the end of this year the An
aconda Copper Mining company will
have paid out in dividends $16,31S, $50
compared with $4662, 500 disbursed in
1915, and $5,S3S, 1875 in 1914. The div
idend paid out this year is on a basis
OF $500 per share on the outstanding
2SS1,250 shares.
Production of "copper" which is sold
up to the end Of 1916, is running at
the rate of about 340,OO0,O00 pounds
annually. The company is earning at
the rate of between $45,OO0,00 and
$50, 100000 a year, or well over $4,000
PER share.
Anaconda, according to the best in
formation obtainable, stands an ex-
cellent chance to earn over $500 per
share in 1917, with metal selling at or
above 25 cents per pound. This would
mean earnings Of something like $780,
100000, or about $50 per share in two
years.
On this basis Anaconda may pay as
much as $2OOO0,OOO in dividends in
1917.

INTIMIDATION" IN THE SOUTH.

One of the amusing official procla-
nations issued on the eve of the re-
cent election was warning from the
department of justice at Washington,
that there would be vigorous prose-
cution of any persons who used intim-
idation or threats in order to prevent
voters from exercising the elective
franchise. That proclamation was
directed to northern states. The at
torney general halls from Texas. If
he wants opportunity for the exercise
OF his powers as a public prosecutor,
he can find plenty of it in all the
states south of Mason and Dixon's
line, where practically half of the vot-
ing population is prevented by intim-
idation from casting the vote or hav-
ing the vote counted.

pears trifling.
Under certain conditions the law
requiring mineral discovery as re-
quisite to valid mining claim is now
ignored by common consent, and it is
probable that 1t would be wise to ELI
inmate that requirement; but the pro-
posal to make a cash payment to the
government in lieu of assessment
work should receive no consideration
whatever. The fact is that the more
one studies over the proposition to re-
wise the mining laws and discovers
the many difficulties in the way of the
adoption of the new order, the more
he is convinced that the present law,
now so thoroughly understood should
be permitted to stand, with such min
or changes as can be made without
upsetting the entire system that has
stood the test of years and under
which the mining industry has grown
and prospered.

CONTRIBUTING CAUSES TO THE
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.


AS in all close elections, there are
several causes either one of which
can be credited with accomplishing
the result, Generally speaking the
country is in a highly prosperous con-
dition and the agricultural sections
particularly are experiencing a mar
ket for their products that has seldom
If ever been equalled. The fact that
this condition is due solely to the Eu-
ropean war and exists in spite of the
policies of the administration was ig-
nored in the agricultural states gen.
orally. The universal depression dur
ing the first year and more of the Will
son administration, when democratic
policies were fairly tested, was forgot
ten or ignored and the farmers by
their votes credited the party in power
with bringing about the prosperity
they enjoy. Prosperity is the best
vote getter and the party in power
at the time will get the benefit without
regard to the merits of the situation
But perhaps the biggest factor, and
also the biggest fake, in bringing
about the reelection of President Will
son was the claim that he kept us out
of war. 1t was claim as false as the
one crediting the democrats with the
prosperity of the country, and it was
worse because it places the people of
the country in an attitude of being
willing to sacrifice honor and dignity
as means of maintaining peace. We
are not willing to admit that this cor
rectly represents the sentiment of the
majority, but 1t is surprising and hu-
initiating to know that such a large
element abandoned the glorious ira
ditions of their country and gave their
approval to the too proud to fight"
policy of the president
Then there was the progressive vote,
a large percentage of which went to
the democratic candidate and which
easily would have elected Hughes.
The discussion of this feature of the
election promises to reopen the breach
between the republicans and progress
sives, each being disposed to blame the
other. Whatever may be the real facts
in the controversy between the prog
ressives and the republicans in Cali
fornia and Washington, the fact stands
out clearly that the progressive can
lidates for senator in those states
received the support Of the republic |
cans while the progressives failed to
support Hughes, Hughes was entitled
% the electoral vote of those two
states which would have secured his
election, and the progressives have ad-
'anced no reason that could justify
hem in refusing to give him their
support.

CLIMAX MINING CO.
MAKES GOOD PROGRESS
THREE VEINS ON PROPERTY
ORE IN THIRD VEIN WELL
EQUIPPED PLANT.

Since January IT, this year, the Gil
max Mining company has run 1900 feet
of tunnel, cut three veins each one
OF which justifies extensive exploration
The third vein is the one for which
the present development work was I'M
dertaken and drifting upon it is now
showing most satisfactory results. A
little lead-silver ore was encountered
soon after this vein was cut and a re-
cent report by the companys engineer
states that all the characteristics of
the ledge are favorable to finding an
ore body. The iron outcrop of the
ledge is said to be one of the most re-
markable in the district, and the drift
must be extended about $50 feet fur
Their to get under the most favorable
surface showing.
The Climax company owns four
claims on Revenue gulch, three Of
which are located on the vein and
covering it for a distance of 1000 feet.
The property is among the best equip
ped in the district for development,
having a compressor driven by electric
power, water Leyner drills and every
thing necessary for a complete plant.
Good buildings are provided for the
accommodation of the employees, the en-
tire premises having the appearance
of enterprising and capable manage
ment, but with no evidence of waste
or extravaganza.
North Dakota Men Interested.
The Climax Mining company was or
ganized by H. " Edwards, of this city,
and through his efforts the company
was financed by capitalists of Grand
Forks, North Dakota. A. S. Turner
sheriff of Grand Forks county and
who has just been re-elected, and who
represents the Grand Forks interests
in the Climax, is now in the city. He
has made thorough inspection of the
property and its affairs and expressed
himself as well pleased with the work
accomplished. The investment Of
Grand Forks people represents be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. While far
removed from actual mining opera
tons, mining investments are not new
to Grand Forks people and they fully
realize that as rule it requires much
money to develop a mine. They are
apparently Of that type which has
played the most conspicuous part
in the development Of the mining
industry of the west and who
simply demand that they be
given fair run for their money,
and this they are evidently getting in
the Climax Incidentally it may be
stated that number of stockholders
in the Interstate Callahan, the bonanza
zinc mine, reside in Grand Forks, one
Of whom, Mr. Titus, is a director of
the company.

WHAT HUGHES WAS UP AGAINST
(Goodwin's Weekly

If Mr. Hughes is defeated he need
not repine. He can take this truth to
be his comfort. He stormed the en-
envy entrenched in states where men
are expected to be governed, political
ly, by reason and won So per cent of
the electoral votes.
He started out knowing that in II
states were The Christ to run on a
republican ticket and Judas Iscariot
was his opponent the vote would,
practically, be unanimous for Judas;
that to win he must first overcome
the 1879 electoral votes those states
cast, and get majority from the rest,
and IL he is beaten, 1t is by a margin
so narrow that the opposition as It
wipes Its brow is forced to confess
that it is altogether too close to be
comfortable. He made brave, hon
est fight. He carried all the great
states except Ohio, and there only
family quarrel prevented his election.

PROSPERITY AND DEMOCRACY
(Goodwin's Weekly


The controlling factor in the late
campaign was the marvellous prosper
ity which has come through the war
in Europe. The Chesapeake bay fish
ermen are credited for changing their
votes in one campaign because the
fish were not biting well that year.
The discerninent has caused many
democrats in the past four months to
call the present prosperity democrat
ic prosperity"
1t may not be out Of place just at
this time to ask how much of that
prosperity has come from the free
trade states? How much has the free
trade south contributed except in the
one product of cotton?
Again, why was the tariff protected
north able to do what it has done and
Is doing, Is 1t not solely because 1t
has those two factors of the tariff

plate that TRUTH 1t might be good fol

CONTRACT ON RAINBOW
OUTLOOK FOR ORE BODY
COMPANY LETS CONTRACT FOR
$50 FEET-WELL PREPARED
FOR WINTERS WORK.

George Austin, manager of the Rain
bow Mining g. Milling company re-
turned Monday from the company's
property on Little North Fork, where
he completed arrangements for steady
development during the winter. He
states that supplies of all kinds are
now on the ground sufficient to last
during the winter, and he is looking
forward to important disclosures be-
fore spring. Recent improvements
completed at the Rainbow are a black
smith shop, flume 375 feet long to
supply water for air blast. Air pipe
and rails sufficient for several hundred
| feet are on the ground. Mr.. Austin
stated that it was the intention to in
stall machine drills, but as there was
not sufficient water power for the com
pressor and as steam or gasoline was
regarded too expensive for one drill at
this time, it was decided to continue
hand work for few hundred feets
Much confidence is expressed that a
commercial ore body will be found
during the winter, which would pro-
badly be followed by driving a lower
tunnel and the installation of mach
inery. Speaking of the condition of
the property and plans of the COM
pany, Mr.. Austin said:
Contract $50 Feet.
-Four men are at work on a 250-foot
contract at $3.50 per foot, with the
understanding it will be completed be-
fore May /, 1917. This will bring the
main tunnel vertically beneath where
the vein shows strong on the surface,
and as some very fine ore has been
found in the main tunnel, CONNER
cial ore body may be expected any
time from now on. Picked samples
give assay return of 11.25 or. silver,
262 per cent lead and 3O.S per cent
zinc.
over 100000 of the 100000 shares
which were set aside to be placed on
the assessment plan have been taken,
the remainder will no doubt be alb
sorbed Within a very short time. A
large percentage of this stock has been
taken by the old stockholders

Whether a man is a republican or a
democrat whether he believes in a
high protective tariff or in free trade,
he can help the America First
movement by insisting upon having
goods that bear the brand Made in
America" OF course, the man who
advocates a protective tariff doubly
helps the Made in America" policy
because he not only proposes TO buy
American goods for himself but pro.
poses to compel his neighbor to do
likewise.

GOLD CRAG COMPANY
PLANS DEVELOPMENT
FAVoRABLY LOCATED PROPERTY
HAS STRONG LEDGE AND
GOOD SHOWING.

The Occur d'Alene Gold Crag Min
ing company is already making plans
for the extensive development of its
property at the head of Cedar creek,
Montana, as the high divideitshuldrrfd
Montana, as early as practicable in
the spring. The property is located on
the slope of the high divide between
Montana and Idaho, about five miles
from the Intermountain mine and
about equal distance from the Clear
water Gold & Copper Mining COM
panys property on the Idaho side.
The Gold Crag consists of ten claims
located on a ledge that is easily traced
across the high divide, and which pre-
sents an opportunity for deep develop
ment by tunnel at the minimum ex-
pense. The Gold Crag company was
originally organized by the late Colo
mel Steward Fuller, of this city, and
the development of the property was
undertaken under his personal direc-
ton. Upon his death and that of his
wife the control passed to his three
sons, and the management is now in
the hands of Reuben Fuller Work
has been going on all summer up to
the fifth of this month, when it sus-
pended for the winter. In addition to
considerable surface work, a crosscut
at a depth of go feet shows the vein to
be 20 fete wide showing good values
In copper, gold, a little silver and lead.
A lower tunnel cuts the vein at a
depth of about 1000 feet at a point
500 feet west Of the big outcrop. A
drift has been run about 100 feet, with
good showing of copper-gold ore,
which is described as very similar to
that Of the Richmond mine near Sal
tese.
Resume in the Spring.
Mr.. Fuller states that he expects to
be in position to resume development
of the Gold Crag early in the spring.
The property is located within a wefl
established mineral section which Is
attracting much attention. On the
opposite side of the divide the Clear
water Gold & Copper company has a
large amount of ore blocked out and
the management is now working out a
plan of transportation which is ex-
pected to place the property on a pro-
ductive basis next summer, while on
this side the Intermountain has en-
tered the list of permanent dividend
payers.
