WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Octo-

| lation so close to the front that air
! plane battles sometimes take place
overhead, seventeen American college
| girls are carrying the kindly spirit Of
! the new world to the martyred peasan-
! try. These girls are members OF the
social service unit sent by Smith Col
! lege of Northampton. Mass, to do re-
| lief work in the region beyond Noyon,
| which the retreating Germans laid
waste last spring.
| OF all the unexpected turns which the
| war has taken know OF none stranger
| than that which has brought these nne,
| serious young American women to such
| an undertaking in such place. In the
| teeth of great material difficulties they
are re-est abliShing comfort and JOY
where for more than three years de-
| spair and misery have reigned. Al
| though they are but handful the ef-
4 feet which their effort may have upon
/ the future is incalculable. for not only

MINING LEADS THE WAY.

1t will be seen from the above per-
centages that the mines of the state
produced almost one-third Of the
states income. The livestock indus
try, which is considered one Of the i'm
portant assets of Idaho, was second in
point of production. but the states in
come from this source was just a lit
tie more than half the revenue conf e
from the mines. laundering, which
was not a profitable business during
the year 1916, gave the state consider
able revenue its percentage Of produc-
ton being 9.73, as compared to the total
income for the year
Mining, livestock and numbering
combined produced $40 per cent of
the wealth Of the state for 1915, leaving
agriculture, horticulture and miscel-
laneous sources of revenue to produce
the balance, or 44.60 per cent.

The state la d board adopted a reso-
luton introduced by State Auditor
Clarence Van Deusen at its meeting
late Friday afternoon, demanding that
the Twin Falls Land & Water COM
pany appear before the board before
the end of the present month and show
cause why $4,000 acres of land seq

The grand total is $361,549371.
During the same period Of years the
grand total of appropriations made by
legislatures of Idaho is $15,016, 70735
and of this amount Ss4 900 has been
given by the state to foster the mining
industry. The percentage Of appro-
priations received by the mining in

the statistics presented by the mining
association is Sc of per cent.
| In connection with the presentation
Of the statistics since 1899, the Idaho
Mining association calls attention to
the metal production for 1916, which
was fully 80 per cent Of the total pro-
duction Of the state for the year. In
the production OF metal there was ex-
pended in Idaho for labor, supplies.

for other expenses the sum Of s3s,000,-

was paid to labor, while many millions

other industries of the state. Yet the
total appropriations for 1916-1917 for
the benefit of the mining industry of
Idaho amount to only s29.145.64, or less
than l per cent Of the total appropria-
tons made for the biennium.
STATE BUREAU OF MINES.
The last legislature passed a bin for
the creation of a state bureau of
mines and geology to work in Cooper
alton with the United States Bureau of
Mines and with the United States geo
logical survey. The bill carried an an
preparation of $500 and a like amount
was to have been appropriated by the
FEDERAL government to maintain the
bureau, whose principal work would
have been to experiment on low grade
and complex ores to devise means for
saving values which are now being lost
and to determine processes Of treat
ment that will make it profitable to
work the large low grade mineral de-
posits of the state The bill was We
toed and the Idaho Mining associa.-
ton makes the announcement that
there will be no funds for CARRYING on
the much-needed experimental work.

Many years before TIM possibility OF
irrigating the waste desert lands of
the state was dreamed Of. wealth was
being extracted from the earth. The
money that laid the foundation for
building the cities of Idaho and for de-
veloping the states resources came
from the mines. Not only did the
growth and development Of Idaho get
its impetus and support from the min
ing industry Of the state, but cities
have been built beyond the borders of
Idaho by the millions that her hills
have given forth.
Mining was the beginning of Idaho
and mining has continued to be the
states chief support
During the year 1915 the mining in
dustry of Idaho produced 1886 per
cent of the total wealth produced by
the state. A comparative statement of
the production by the different indus
tries shows the following percentages:
