the company is to drive a crosscut to
the main ledge, a distance of 1900
feet, and in doing this two other

GIANT.

Paul Livar came down from the
Giant the first of the week. The pro-
perty is about half a mile north of
the Sunset, the Rob Roy group lying
between. On the west is the property
OF the Friend company and also the
Jim Bowers group, owned by l. N.
Davis. Mr.. Livar reports very sat

OF the Giant. The ledge has been
reached by crosscut 9OOssfeet, from
which a drift has been run 400 feet,
showing the ledge strongly mineraliz-
ed and having considerable galena
distributed through it. The face of
the drift has now attained a depth Of
ABOUT $50 feet. In the upper tunnel,
which has been run only about $50
feet, Mr.. Livar reports chloride of sill
yer and a good showing of galena in
the face. The Giant consists of eight
claims and is largely owned in Port

CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RE.
SOURCES IN WEST.

few years ago when Pinchotism
was In perfect flower and he had sue
ceeded in fastening the pernicious
conservation policy upon the states of
the west through the fundamentally
of the Roosevelt administration, there
were few voices among public men
raised in protest against it. In the
northwest there was only one that is
now recalled, and that was the voice
of the late Senator w. B. Hepburn.
With the unerring vision of the true
statesman that he was, he pointed out
the wrong that was being perpetrated
upon the west through the adoption of
the Pinchot policy and the certain
consequences that would follow in the
form of blocking the settlement of the
western states through the withdraw
al of public lands under one pretext or
another and the tying up of water
power and great areas of timber that
would withhold them from the use and
benefit of the people for whom they
were intended. With a courage that
knew no fear, with a conviction that
knew no compromise, and with a logic
that permitted no answer, he assailed
the system as wrong in principle and
ruinous to the aspirations of the peo-
pie of the west.
The voice of Senator Hepburn has
long been silent He passed away
fighting practically alone against the
Ubiquitous system which has proved to
be just as his prophetic vision de-
scribed it, and which has now aroused
the west in earnest protest against
it. Had the west been united in oppo-
sition to Pinchotism and in support
of Senator Heyburn's position then as
1t is today, there would have been no
question as to the rights of the states
to the benefit of the natural resources
within their borders, and the fight
would have been won before the sys-
TEN became entrenched through politi-
cal pressure at Washington and an
army of salaried satraps in the field.

MANY IDAHO MINERS WILL MEET
IN BOISE.

The annual meeting Of the Idaho
Mining association will be held In
Boise on January 16 and II. The
membership of the association extends
to almost every county in. the state
for there are few counties in which
there are not mineral deposits of prov
ed or prospective value. The past
year or two has witnessed a tremend-
GUS revival in mining operations
throughout the state, and the success
which has been achieved should act as
stimulus to greater interest in the
work of the Idaho Mining association.
The organization affords an effective
means by which the needs of the in
dustry Is made known in the matter of
legislation, both national and state. It
enables men in all parts of the state
to get together for conference and ex-
change of views on matters of import
ance to the mining industry, to hear
discussion by specialists in the vari-
GUS branches of mining and metallur-
gy and to cultivate the social spirit
which is always Of value among men
having common purpose.

Shoshone county is the great min
ing center of Idaho, and 1t is crafty
ing to know that two of the largest
companies here are arranging to in
troduce special features at the COM
ing meeting of the association which
will not only be entertaining, but
highly instructive to members of the
association and the public. These

gether with the high class type oil
men who will be in attendance, should
impress members of the legislature

CONTRIBUTION TO NATIONAL
DEFENSE.

The popular idea that the great steel
companies are actuated by no other
motive in dealing with the government
than to eXtort the highest price for ar
NOR plate and munitions of war is not
borne out by recent statement by
Charles M. Schwab, head of the great
Bethlehem plant. Mr.. Schwab makes
the surprising statement that the
Bethlehem plant is the largest ord
nance factory in the world, having a
capacity so per cent greater than the
famous Krupp plant in Germany. This
he said is but one of many plants that
could be made available for the exclu-
sive use of the government If needed
The patriotic attitude of Mr.. Schwab
is perhaps typical of the steel indus
try. In the course of his remarks he
reminded his hearers that the Bethle-
mem company had been supplying the
government with guns, shells, etc, in
the last two years, at the same prices
that prevailed before the war; in spite
OF the increased cost of materials, and
that it desires to continue holding it.

OUTLOOK FOR SILVER.

Seattle Post -Intelligencer)
AS war has materially raised the
price of copper, added millions to the
nations wealth and created a new
crop OF" millionaires, so war also is
lending new value to silver, which suf-
fered such relapse in market worth as
to induce demonstration some years
ago. In 1913 the market value of the
silver in an American dollar was be-
tween 40 and so cents. The silver in
the same dollar now is worth approx
mately IS cents. For 40 years dollar
has been worth very much less as bull
lion than as a medium of exchange.
War has stimulated silver by induc-
ing a demand for metal money rather
than paper money, in the war coun-
tries as in the neutral nations that do
business with them. China has also
contributed to the rise in value by
standardizing a financial system that
called for the coinage of 100000, 900
ounces.
The par value of silver dollar does
not arise from its intrinsic value, but
because it is accepted in exchange for
gold. However, as measured by the
value of commodities, both our gold
and silver money have deprecated,
with the worlds coinage, to about so
per cent of the exchange value of six.
teen years ago.
Rising bullion prices have invited
new interest in silver mines. About So
per cent of the worlds supply origin
sates in the United States, South and
Central America and Canada. Aban-
doned mines are being reopened and
the output of others increased The
marketing of silver ore for the current
year will be much larger than any in
recent years.

DRASTIC PROHIBITION AMEND
MENT IN NEBRASKA.

The Idaho prohibition law with lis
search and seizure" provision has
been regarded as the limit of extreme
liquor legislation, but now comes the
prohibitionists of Nebraska with the
draft of a law which they will endeav-
or to have passed by the legislature
which makes the Idaho statute look
mild by comparison. Here are a few
features which the Nebraska dries
hope to have added to the present dry
law:
ANY peace officer in the state may
arrest anyone whose breath has the
odor of liquor.
Advertisement of intoxicants. in
any manner, is prohibited.
sale of flavoring extracts and
whisky tablets is prohibited.
1T is made a criminal offense to
tell a man where he may get drink"

Ore in the Drift Shows Steady In
crease and Improvement.
Since picking up the vein after it
had been cut out by fault, the show
ing of ore has steadily improved and
it is confidently expected that it will
soon grown into a shoot of CONNER
cial ore. This expectation is based
upon the showing in the upper tunnel
and several surface openings. While
the face of the drift is still probably
1900 feet east of the ore shoot as dis
closed in the erosscut from the Ore
ano, several openings between the two
points on the surface have disclosed
ore, indicating a long shoot that may
make it's appearance in the drift any
day. This is the old Union mine that
was worked and abandoned many
years ago. Last year the property
was taken under bond and lease by
AXel swan, who had as associates
Charles McKinnis, Harry Allen and
others. A crosscut was run from the
upper tunnel of the Oreano into the
Union ground, cutting fine ore shoot
which was explored by drifts for sew
eral hundred feet. The present drift
is designed to get this ore at further
depth of 500 feet. When this is ac-
complished another 500 feet depth can
be gained through the old Hidden
Treasure tunnel, at the rear of the Tt
ger mill, right to use it being includ-
ed in the bond and lease.

If Governor Alexander saved a mil

state during his first term in spite of
the distractions interposed by repub-
lican officers and republican legis-
lature, surely the people have right
to expect that saving to be doubled or
trebled during his second term when
all the departments of government are
under democratic control and pre-
sumably in perfect harmony with the
governors policy of retrenchment and
reform.
