MONEY IN MANGANESE.
How Good Fortune Came to Two Phil
ipsburg Miners.


From wages to riches inside of
day is the experience of William P.
Hynes of Philipsburg, who has been
spending the past two days visiting In
the city says the Anaconda Standard.
A few years ago while prospecting in
the mountains in Granite county, Mr..
Hynes discovered vein of ore that
was a bit different from anything else
he had seen. However, he felt confd-
ent that il was valuable and took John
Mellen into his confidence. The two
men said little about their find, but
attended to the development work.
Then the war broke out and metal be-
gan to advance in leaps. With the big
war orders coming in 1t was not long
before the steel manufacturers began
to bewail the scarcity of manganese,
and offered to buy that commodity at
almost any price.
In the meantime Messrs. Hynes and
Mellen had sent samples from their
mine to the assayer, who In turn in
formed them the ore from their claims
was good grade of manganese. Need
less to say, whatever other business
they may have had was forgotten and
they commenced to work their prop
erty along broader lines. During the
past summer they have been employ
ing a crew of 30 men at the mine,
which they have named the Elinor and
are getting out plenty of good ore.
Their property is situated about
mile east of Philipsburg and they ex-
pect to keep it working throughout
the winter.

1t is time that the public awoke to
the venom these foreign papers are

1t is impossible to believe that the
papers in question represent the rank

sent only the most alien element Of
our German speaking population. But
they are none the less offensive and
menacing for that.
Laws and postal regulations now in

000, O00, 900 in war savings certificates
The plan provides for the purchase
and accumulation of war savings
stamps with which certificates may
be purchased If that method is desir-
ed.
The law limits the amount of war
savings certificates any one person
may hold to $1,000. This means that
the average amount held by those who
buy the certificates will be very much
smaller than $1,000. 1t 1t was as high
as s500-and it will not be nearly so
high--in order to float the entire issue
there must be no less than 1000, 900
purchasers of the certificates. Prob
ably there will be from six to eight
million purchasers.
At Least $100000,o00 to the Good.
Although provision is made for the
return of lost certificates If they fall
into the hands of honest persons when
they go astray, experience has shown
that fire and other causes probably
will destroy millions of dollars worth
of the certificates after they are pur-
chased. Such certificates will not
have to be redeemed by the United
tually will be net gain to the fed
eral funds.
There is no way of knowing,
though, the exact amount of every is
sue of bank notes, United States notes,
gold and silver certificates, bonds and
certificates of Indebtedness which have
been destroyed and which can not be
presented for redemption in coin. I'm
til some step Is taken to fix "a time
limit for redemption the United States
will not know exactly how much 1t
ious issues of paper currency, bonds
and so on.
Taking into account all of the many
issues which have been made since
paper money was first authorized, 1t
is a safe and conservative estimate to
say that at least $1O0,O00,OOO would
thus be shown to the credit of the gov
eminent. 1t is unlikely, though, that
any step will be taken for some years
at least, to determine officially just
how large the amount actually has
grown to be.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1917-12-27

something more than $10.7O0,000 70 lis
credit for which no claim could be
made. IL is probable that consider
ably more than l per cent OF the certi-
ficates have been lost and destroyed.
Silver certificates in circulation on
June 80. 1915, amounted to s4sl.970
1896; they had practically taken the
place of the silver dollars which they
represent. OF the silver dollars only
$64,647.156 were in circulation then.
OF the enormous issue of silver GER
tificates 1t is fair to estimate that con-
siderably more than l per cent have
been lost and destroyed. That means
that the United States will not have
to redeem at least $1,000, 900 worth of
these certificates, at the very lowest
estimate. But until an effort is made
to ascertain the actual amount of the
certificates in existence the money
can not be credited to the United
States and must be left on the books
to balance the certificates, although
they do not exist
Bonds Go Astray.
1t Is impossible to make an accurate
estimate of the number of non-regis-
tered bonds of the United States which
have been destroyed i'm various ways
in all of the many issues which have
been floated from time to time. The
funds provided for the redemption of
these bonds are always in excess of the
bonds presented for redemption. The
difference between the amount neces-
sary for the redemption of all bond
issues on paper and the actual amount
required swells the amount of money
which can not be utilized for other
purposes but which nevertheless in
creases the balance in the treasury on
the right side.
The enormous issues of Liberty
bonds during the present year will
probably result in setting very large
to the credit of the United
States through the loss and destruc-
ton of bonds which are not registered.
Postal savings bonds are being is
sued each year. These issues represent
the converted postal savings of depos-
itors and have amounted to something
less than million an issue. The
same percentage of losses will occur
in these bonds, officials of the treasury
believe.
The government is now issuing ST.

HUN PRESS IN AMERICA

There is general impression that
our German language press however,
been in the past, has reformed since
we entered the war An article by
Samuel Hopkins Adams in the Deem
Der Everybody's Magazine shows that
this is not the case. He presents an
amazing array of discriminating quota
lions from German-American news
papers, all printed during the past
summer and fall
God With FatherIand.
We find the F'reie Presse of Glen
coe, Minn apostrophizing Germany as
follows: God stand by you, beloved
German fatherand! Do not allow
yourself to be devoured by your foes"
The United States of course, being one
of those foes. The same paper adds
I'VE want a strong Germany in stead
fast union with Austro Hungary" The
"we," needless to say, does not refer
to the American people.
The Sonntagsblaet Of Philadelphia,
prints this insolent headline across
seven columns: "Germany's Answer to
America-Two Million More Men Call
ed" and remarks that. as regards the
belief we share with our allies that
Germany can be defeated. There is
nothing left but to drive this illusion
out with the hardest blows ever"
The Lincoln Freie Presse celebrates
the Fourth Of July by giving away
souvenir spoons Of Kaiser Wilhelm
and Won Hindenburg.
The illinois Staats-Zeitung innocent
ly declares: For one who really
knows Germany and the kaiser, it is
inexplicable why this genuine friend

marks, that Sinking our vessels in the

Ten Days Strenuous Training for Of
hcers Of the New MILITIA.
Northheld. June. 13.-Governor Graham
has authorised General Tillotson. the
adjutant-general Of Vermont. to conduct
ten days training camp for officers
of the newly-created volunteer militia
regiment. which Is headed by Colonel
Johnson. Norwich University has offered
its facilities for this training camp,
and these officers will be directed by
Colonel Johnson to assemble for instruc.
tion early In July at Northfield They
will be put through a strenuous training
course for a period of ten days under
competent instructors Part of this
course will be horsemanship for the
mounted officers. The rine range at
Norwich University has recently been re-
constructed Of concrete and Is now one
of the best ranges in New England. The
newly-appointed officers will have a
course in rife practice In addition to
their other duties. 1t is believed that
Vermont is the first State in the Union
to establish training course OF this
kind for it's home guard units and this
will no doubt result in more uniform and
effcient instruction of these home troops.
1t is particularly appropriate that this
camp should be located at Norwich Uni
versity, the oldest Military College in the
United States.

80 STATES REPORT

Washington. June 13.-Thirty-nine States
and the District of Columbia had reported
their war registration returns tonight
when the provost marshal-generars Office
closed showing an enrolment of 7,776, ,4S4,
or more than 80 per cent. of the census
estimate of s,413s52 eligibles.
OF the total registered 5sos. .oss are
white. sSs.24O colored. S9l,07s aliens .nd
A,O2S alien enemies. The total indicated
exemptions are 4,301, 1863.
IL the remaining nine States should
maintain the average of more than 92 per
cent, the total registration would exceed
9,5OO,0OO.
1t was officially explained tonight that
the original census estimate of eliRibles
was 10.fs,0O0. and that the figure
10, $4,000 on which all comparisons have
been based was the result Of furnishing
liberal allotments Of registration cards
to cities, particularly those In which
industrial plants are located.
On the basis of the original estimate,
more than s5 per cent. of the men be-
tween the prescribed ages have been reg
istered. More than half a million men in
the military and naval service and re-
quired to register would account for the
other five per cent
