DUSTIN FARNUM IN THE SPY
Thrilling Scenes Mark "Exposure"

THE Spy" that ever popular figure Of
romance. had his innings on the screen
at the Globe Theatre last night. when
william Fox presented Dustin Farnum
in the latest exposure by George Bron-
son Howard OF ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain. The picture pur-
ports to show the colossal SPY system
which Germany is believed to maintain
in this country so that all our munitions
factories. our troop movements and even
the number Of packages of chewing gum
sent to the boys in France are known to
the Kaiser.
Dustin Farnum portrayed with all his
customary statuesqueness and vigor the
part OF a young idler who finally does
something with his life-nothng less

sent to Germany as spy and obtains

a bit too realistic, in fact.

KAM0B@ERER, MONTANA PLACER M0DMER, WHOSE
WORK HAS ENRICHED HARVARD BY MILLIONS

about four miles of patented claims
along Alder gulch.
The new company installed Led
gerwood orange peel bucket machine
on the Conrey farm, which, on ac-
count of the tightness of the gravel
in which an attempt was made to
operate, proved a failure.
The company then installed its
first steam dredge. This was built
by the Toledo Iron Works, at a cost
of $4,000. This machine proved toe
light at first, was strengthened, and
operated with a fair degree of sue
cess.
After two years of further expert
menting the second steam dredge
was installed. 1t was designed by
Mr. Mckay, and proved fairly sue
cesssful.
The cost of handling gravel by this
method was about 13 cents per cubic
yard. This cost was considered eX-
cessive, and the management of the
company was continually casting
about for some method by which the
gravel could be moved SO as to make
the profit that those back of the un-
dertaking considered possible.
kammerer Put in Charge.
In the meantime, Moore had re-
signed, and had been succeeded by
Julius Baier, who, with Charles
kammerer, was designing the first
electrically operated dredge, when
death overlook him. Kammerer was
made manager, and the unfinished
work turned over to him. How we'll
he succeeded is matter of history.
The first year of his operation he cut
the cost of handling the gravel to six
and three-quarter cents per yard.
The second year, he made improve
ments on the dredge which further
cut the cost to six cents, where it
has since remained. A clear saving
of seven cents per yard over steam
operations that were fairly success
full was long stride towards big dl-
vidends, and succeeding years that
followed Kammerer became master
in mechanical placer mining.
About this time Mckay died, leav-
ing his holdings in the company by
will, to Harvard university. Profess
sor Shaler's death occurred about the
same time as that of his associate.
He too bequeathed his stock in the
Conrey company to the university
with which he had SO long been asso-
ciated.
In the years that followed Kam-
merer built several electrically oper
ated dredges. Two were seven and
one-half foot dredges, the width be-

ing rated by the size of the bucket.
Both proved successful and are still
in operation, but in 1910 he achieved
his master stroke when he designed
a monster dredge operating II foot
bucket, the largest machine of it's
kind in the world, and which han
dies more yardage than the three
other dredges combined. This ma
chine has still further reduced oper-
ating costs, and has added to the
earnings of the company
So it was through this man and
his mastery of the huge machines by
which the low grade gravel could be
handled at a profit, that Harvard
has profited. Harvard's interest in
the Conrey company is something
more than so per cent of the stock
of the company. Harvard's share, in
dividends, up to date, have been
considerably in excess of $1,000, 900.
1t is estimated that there is four
years more work for the big dredges
and that the ground unWorked will
produce about $3,OOO,000 more. This
will give the college an additional
$500, 900, or more than 100000
in all. This figure represents about
half of the profit of the dredging op-
erations of Alder gulch.

he fired his pistol into the vent. A
sudden roar and the storm of bull
lets was hurled into the unsuspect-
ing throng. With wall of terror
and agony the Indians dispersed in
fright. Twenty-one corpses strewed
the ground, while a dozen more In
dians staggered away terribly wound
ed. In an instant the gates were
opened and few of the garrison
rushed forth to kill all whom they
could catch. Three of the conspira-
tors has been selected to kill the

pecting treachery when they heard

FORMER ASSOCIATE OF MARCUS
DAILY IN DEVELOPMENT OF
ANACONDA COMPANY.
Marries at Age of Eighty, Leaves
Widow More Than Three Millions;
Son, Daughter and Grandchildren
Will Receive Bulk of Estate;
Mined in South America.

The estate of James B. Haggin,
who, with Marcus DAILY and w. R.
Hearst started the Anaconda COM
pany toward a successful career, has
been appraised at $20,614,761, and
after paying the debts, administra-
ton expenses and inheritance tax,
there still remains SIS, 8,00O,OOO.
Haggin, at his death, two years
ago, was 81 years old. At the age of
80 he married, and his widow, Mrs.
Margaret V. Haggin, gets $3,575,297
under the will. Louis T. Haggin, his
son, gets 5,297; and his daugh-
ter, Edith H. Lounsbury, gets 49,
350,297 One granddaughter is left
more than $3,00O,000, and another
grandson and granddaughter re-
ceived more than $1,000,0OO each.
Other relatives receive gifts of $780,
600 each.
Haggin and Hearst, after making
making millions in association with
DAILY, sold their holdings in the Ana
conda and began the development of
the great copper mines at Cerro de
Pasco in Peru. These properties are
situated at "the top of the world
some $4,000 feet above sea level.
They spent $23,oo0,0oo in the enter
prise and less than Two years ago
sold out to the Morgan interests.
1t is an odd repetition of history,
after 20 years, that the Morgans are
now attempting, it would seem, to
organize the copper industry of
America through their recent acqui-
sition of control of Cerro de Pasco,
Kennecott, Utah, Braden and Nevada
Consolidated, probably to be follow
ed by other companies, following
much the same lines as the old
Amalgamated, but on larger scale.
By coincidence, the Haggin-Hearst
forces furnished the nucleus for both
these great copper combines.

In the meantime the old Phil Con-

gulch had been acquired by Mckay
and his associates. This ground was
prospected and dredging values in
gold developed, although the old
time placer miners had considered 1T
as valueless for mining. Mckay and
Shaler organized the Conrey Placer

MONTANA TO SEE
DRUG SHORTAGE
WILL BE DRAINED BY RE-
QUIREMENTS OF ARMY.
Opium Prices Higher Than During
Civil War, Bringing $50 per pound
as Against $3.50 During Normal
Times; Demands for Quinine Will
BE Enormous.

Montana druggists see ahead a
serious shortage of various drugs and
chemicals as result of the needs of
the war department during war time.
The government has entered the mar
ket for a full line Of chemicals, from
acetanilid at the top of the list to
xyol at the bottom.
In some case government demands
will denude the American market,
notably in the case of opiates. 1t is
doubtful if the requirement of 49,
600 tubes and $500 bottles of NOR
phine sulphate (the usual form of
administering morphine) can be fill
led, and the same applies to require
ments of heroin.
There is but $4,000 pounds of OPT
UNI in bond in Boston, against re-
serve of 100000 pounds in normal
times, and no more is to be had.
Opium prices are higher than dur
ing the Civil War, and the govern
ment will have to pay record prices
for all of it's opiates, in the opinion
of the manufacturers. Opium has
sold at $50 per pound, against nor
NAL $3.50.
The demands for quinine, of
course, will be enormous. An ini-
tial order for 10000 ounces of this
drug will about care for the needs
of our peace-strength army. An Or
der of $4,000 or 100000 ounces is
not improbable, as England, France
and Russia took our entire supply In
1915. 1t is declared prices will go
from the present 75-cent level to
$3.50 an ounce if Congress does not
take hand.
Collodion to the amount of 200
bottles indicates an expectation of
hospital requirements. Twenty
thousand pounds of potassium per-
manganate presents difficulties, with
the price at $3.50, up $50 per cent
and little to be had. Almost all of
the items listed will be available
only from domestic sources.
