OLDER MEN TO GET CHANCE
EnIistments in Army and Navy Have
Shortened Supply Of Younger
Workers in Country.

The man of forty-fve, it seems, is
through the war, going to have an
other chance. Enlistments in the
army and navy have shortened the
supply of young men available for
industrial work and when the draft
becomes operative the shortage will
be further accentuated, says the In
dianapolis News. So industry is be-
ginning to look to the cold men" Of
forty-fve, or SO, whom efficiency"
has recently barred from employ
ment. The Pennsylvania railroad,
which for years has favored the
young man, announced q few days
ago that the bar against men more
than forty-fve was down and that
they would until the end of the war
be welcomed as applicants for en-
ployment. Other corporations have
taken similar steps and the prospect
is that many more will be obliged
to do so. Men of forty-fve, if in
good physical condition, feel and
usually have reasonable basis for
their attitude, that they are just a
little bit filter than they ever we're
in their lives before. To be barred
from any employment merely on ac-
count of having arrived at the prime
of life has unquestionably struck
them as an unjustly discriminatory
proceeding. The attitude of some
employers was all the more difficult
to understand because tests made
showed that men of middle life were
equally if not more capable than
youngsters in any ordinary task set
before them.-Indianapolis News.

WHAT is WARTIME ECONOMY
AaIsInformation Agitation Would Stop
All Activities Other Than War,
Declares Writer.

Misinformation agitatOrs believe
economy to be cessation of all pos
sible activities calling for the ex-
penditure of public money other
than that directly concerned with
the prosecution of the war. In tfns
throttling of activity the good roads
movement is imperiled-a movement
which has gained tremendous mo-
mentum of late years through the
demands, not only of the pleasure
car but also of the motor truck, in
it's endeavors to serve the nation
through increasing the efficiency OF
short-haul transportation systems,
says a writer in Leslie's.
The Society of Automobile Engi-
neers, in cooperation with the quar-
termaster's department, has COM
pleted set of specifications for mill
tary motor trucks to form the basis
of the competitive bid for the $4,000
machines required for the army.
These specifications are based on the
experience gained from the whole
sale use of trucks on the Mexican
border. They call for a larger,
stronger and more expensive truck
than would be necessary were this
type to be used over uniformly good
or average roads. Were our i'm
proved highway system complete, less
stringent specifications for truck
construction would be required and
millions would be saved on the cost
of our truck feet. This saving would
more than pay the interest on the
bonds required to provide for the
construction of the thousands of
miles Of improved highways this
great country so urgently needs.

Preventing Disease.

The only way to prevent such dis
eases from spreading is for every child
who has a cold, a cough or sore
throat or feels out of sorts to be very
careful not to put in its mouth or to
cough over or to handle anything
which other children are to use. A
child who is not absolutely well should
be particularly careful to keep away
from babies, because babies are so
much more likely to suffer seriously if
they catch disease.

THE RE|NDEER.QUEEN
PLANS OF DEVELOPMENT
CIRCULAR LETTER REVIEWS
WORK ACCOMPLISHED
COMPANY OFFICERS.

"A circular letter to the stockhold-
ers of the Reindeer Queen Mining
company reviews the affairs of the
company since the last report issued
in November a year ago. From that
date until March 23 the drift was ex-
tended 400 feet. Then the snowslide
came which caused the death Of e. B.
Crawford, president and manager of
the company, destroyed the compress
or building and damaged the COM
pressor, ten sets of timbers in the
tunnel We're displaced and 800 feet of
the pipe line was torn out. In June,
the work of repairing the damage was
taken up and the work was complet-
ed on the 18th of last month. A few
days thereafter the directors visited
the property, and the result of their
inspection is told in the following ex-
tract from the letter just issued:
1.-THE directors found that great
deal of work had been done and that
Mr.. Crawford had made very good
progress for the amount of money
expended. The main tunnel is in 5000
feet and the drift is $500 feet from
the main tunnel. Mr.. Crawford had
driven about 500 feet beyond the# ver-
teal point under the showings in the
old Copper Queen workings. The face
of the tunnel was in we'll defined
vein and the vein matter was min
eralized with low grade copper ore.
The vein was so well defined that the
directors were of the opinion that
work should be continued in the vein
until our end lines were reached, with
the possibility of picking up body
of ore in it. When this work is COM
pleted we will crosscut from our long
drift and see If We can not pick up
the other veins that have outcrop-
pings on the surface"
At meeting of the directors on the
18th an assessment of mills was
levied, payable on October II.
The officers and directors of the
company are John c. Glahe, Of Burke,
president; A. p McRae, Of Mullan,
vice president; s. d. Lemieux, of
Black Bear, treasurer; ]. r. Bean, Of

GOLD IN MONTANA.
Will Dedicate Monument at Spot
Where First Found.


Where First Found.
Saturday, October 6, is the date set
for the dedication of the Gold Dis
covery monument at Gold creek. This
was the announcement made yester-
day by Colonel Frand D. Brown, pres
ident of the Montana Pioneers asso-
citation, says the Missoulian.
The monument commentaries the
discovery of gold in western Montana.
1t Is a conventional structure set mid
way between the Northern Pacific and
milwaukee railroad tracks at Gold
creek A pick and shovel crossed up
on gold pan is designed upon the
monument, which is the gift of Mrs.
John c. Labor a daughter of Captain
James H. Mills, a Montana pioneer
editor. 1t is known as the Mills mon
ument.
The dedication, according to Colonel
Brown, will be a formal affair, attend
ed by the governor and other state
officials. Granville Stuart, Montana
pioneer and historian and one of the
men who made the discovery in the
spring Of 1858, is also expected to be
present.

Report That Important Strike Was

Persistent reports have been in cir

Washington, but the Miner up to the
hour of going to press has been I'M
able to confirm it. According to the
report, several stringers were first en-
countered in the crosscut and then a
shoot of practically clean galena ore
This shoot is said to be about eight
inches wide in the roof of the tunnel
ard fully sixteen inches in the bottom.
The ore is said to be of shipping
grade. The striking Of this ore, If i.
has been struck, was wholly unex
rected and is necessarily different
vein form the one that Is being
sought. The crosscut Is beingsrun by
contract and the vein Is not expected
to be reached for probably 800 feet.

FOURTH OF JULY STRIKE.
Regarded As Of Real Merit, but Is on
Private Ground.

Although definite information is diff
ficult to obtain regarding the discov-
cry of lead deposit near the wagon
road in Fourth Of July canyon, such
information as has been obtained in
dicates that it may prove of great i'm
portance. The discovery of galena
was made upon the outcrop of what
appears to be well defined vein, and
the ground has since been located in
every direction. While the excite
ment was at it's height and men were
flocking in hoping to get located on
desirable ground, news came from the
land office at Occur d'Alene that the
discovery was made on land owned by
the Rose Lake Lumber company, and
that the patent issued by the govern
ment is absolute and without any
mineral reservation. This has had
the effect of stopping prospecting and
the location Of other claims. The gov
eminent has been known to revoke
patents to agricultural and timber
land which proved to contain valuable
mineral deposits, and if the discovery
in Fourth of July canyon proves as
important as now appears the patent
to the ground may be contested.

WAR DEMAND FOR BIBLES.
New Testanents Bound in Khaki for
Men in the Army.

The New York Sun, which has been
investigating the Bible trade, finds
that the demand for complete Bibles
is not so far beyond. the usual, but
orders for the New Testament, pocket
size, are overwhelming. The Tesla
ment type is clear the text the Am
erican revised, and the binding clotn
khaki color. The price is kept down
to 20 cents a copy or even less, with
rather better edition at 80 cents.
Churches do not seem to be looking
for Bible bargains, but tell the deal
ers they want substantial books that
will bear handling. So there is much
in demand a leather binding khaki
color, selling at 70 cents. A CAM
paign is on to get $3.50 from each 1Oo,-
900 group of people to help pay the
cost of this New Testament distribu-
ton. Pocket Testament leagues and
other societies are putting in inserts
for name, name Of regiment and In
some cases pledge to read chapter
daily, but for the most part the books
are given without inserts and without
conditions.
Reasons for this condition OF the
Bible trade, conditions the like OF
which New York never saw before
are that churches in all parts OF the
country are determining to present te
enlisted and conscripted men New
Testaments Of an approved size ant
cover. Churches rush to booksellers
and they to the publishers Former.
ly America got good many Bibles
from England, but now 1t not only
makes the Bibles used in America
but sends Bibles to England and al
over the world.

WEST NINE MILE.
Will Sink Shaft 200 Feet-Some Ore
in Old Tunnel.

in Old Tunnel.
Charles Heilbronner, who has an
option on the control of the West
Nine Mile Mining company, states
that work was started on the proper
ty last week. A shaft is being sunk
from the surface not far from the por-
tai of the tunnel and it is expected
that this will cut the ledge in less
than 40 feet. The shaft, however, will
continue vertical to a depth of 200
feet, when the ledge will be crosscut.
For the present within will be used
for hosting. The property is owned
by the heirs of the late Mrs. e. Hell
Ter. A tunnel several hundred feet In
length was run on the property many
years ago which is said to have dis
closed some ore but the best showing
was made in a winze, which was sunk
on what is believed to be an extensive
ore shoot. Mr.. .Heilbronner decided
that 1t would be more economical and
productive Of equally good results to
sink from the surface rather than
continue the winze started under
ground. The property Is about three
land half miles from Wallace, on the
west fork Of Nine Mile.
