Grand Headquarters of the French Army in France, July 14.-A double victory was scored by the French to- night among the clump of hills known as the Moronvilliers Massif, to the west of Rheims. as a result of well conceived plans and brilliantly exe- cuted tactics. The German prisoners taken numbered several hundred. the exact total not being computed when the correspondent left the battle field, but the greatest significance is att tached to the ground captured which. although small in extent, possesses immense importance as the Germans, by having it snatched from them, lost the only remaining observatories in this region and will thus be greatly hindered i1 future operations.
 The hill group consists of five heights. Carnillet, Mont Blond Mont Haut, the Casuue and the Teton. Be- fore tonight's fight the French held all the erests but the saddles between Mont Blond and Mont Haut and ths Casque and the Teton were occupied by the Germans. who were able to watch the French movement from these points of vantage

GEN. GORGAS SAYS "NOT POLITICS"

Major General Gorgas, surgeon general of the army, looks with disfavor on the contention of northern members of Congress, that politics Is responsible for the location of all National Guard training camps in the south.
 "The few weeks of summer weather which soldiers in the south may encounter" said Gen eral Gorgas. will be more than offset by the lons autumn and mild winter during which the troops will undergo the larger part of their training. Health and fresh air are sym onymous and a climate which per mits men to sleep in the open in winter will guarantee good health
 The military advantage to ac- crue from training in the south will be due to the fact that in the south men will have great CT percentage of working hours. due to mild weather. than they would have had elsewhere"

SELECTIvE DRAFT MAY
 BEGIN BY END OF WEEK

Washington. July 15.-When the drawing of lots under the selective conscrlption law will be carried out remained uncertain tonight. but war department officials were hopeful that completion of local exemption ma chinery throughout the country, on which the great lottery now is wait ing. could be accomplished by the end of the week.
 Most of the states have reported their organization complete and in the others only scattered sections re- main to be heard from and officials predict that the drawing will be car lied out within a few days.
 Reports persisted today that the numbers would be placed in nom transparent can mirs aNil drawn from "a glass receptacle by Secretary Baker or some other department official. There was no confirmation, however. and it was indicated that there might he no announcement until the eve of the actual drawing.
 The feeling here is that the federal government now has done everything possible and that the burden of re- sponsibility for hastening selection of the war army rests entirely upon state and local authorities.

When Living Cost Was High.

1. B. Hopkins, a veteran mining
man of Alaska, who was in Virginia
City in the early days, is visiting in
Butte. Speaking of the high cost of
living in the old days of the placer
camp, he said:
"Talk about the high cost of liv-
ing" said Mr.. Hopkins, "why, I re-
member the time when clerks in Vir-
ginia City were paid SIS day, or
one ounce of gold dust I also re-
member very we'll the time when we
paid $3.50 for small can of baking
powder, which can now be procured
for 20 cents know a pioneer who
started his fortune by going back to
Denver and buying large quantity
of baking powder, and on bringing
it to the territory sold it for $3.50
a can. But those were the days be-
fore railroads, and the long overland
hauls and the risks to be taken in
reaching your destination were
mighty great"

a $20,000,000 company, owning two
large refineries and wells in many

financial centers are becoming inter

money for any field that is promising
The federal government has had a

A bill introduced by Senator Walsh

If this bill becomes law, which
seems probable, a great area of oil
land will be opened up and the de-

added impetus, although it is fever
ishly active even now.
The development is creeping north

RISE IN SILVER
WILL HELP STATE

The rise in price Of silver to above
30 during the past few days means
a great deal to Montana, which pro-
duces more silver than any other
state in the union. Montana's pro-
duction in silver has been largely as
a by-product Of copper. but there
are many mines, in which silver ores
predominant, in which operations
will be resumed shortly.
In civil war days and up to the
demonstration of silver in 1873, sill
yer bullion was selling at 81 1929 an
ounce. The next high record was
made in 1890 with a high fractional
ly above $1.21. This was due to ex-
tension of silver legislation by the
Sherman law which provided for pur-
chase OF 100000 ounces monthly
at the Market price, privided that
price did not exceed $1,000. To paw
for the silver so purchased an issue
OF treasury notes redeemable in coin
was authorized.
American purchases, however,
were unable to hold up the price of
silver, which steadily declined. The
climax was the closing of the Indian
nints to free coinage and repeal of
the silver purchase act both in 1898.
The price dropped in a few days from
81 to 62 cents.

SENATOR CLARK
SETTLES STRIKE
COMES TO STATE TO ADJUST
DIFFERENCES WITH BUTTE
STREET CAR EMPLOYEES.
Man of Vast Wealth Knows Many of
His Employees by Their First
Names; Drove Ok Team Into State
FIFTY Years Ago; Value of the
United Verde Property.

Former Senator William A. Clark
who came into Montana half a CEN
tury ago driving an OK team, and who
is now one of the richest men in
America. is spending the summer in
the state. He will be rs years of age
on his next birthday, but his de-
meanor and action is that Of an active
man of As years.
Fifty years ago he arrived in BAN
mack. He was driving a jaded team
of oxen that had brought him all the
way from Central City. Colorado. He
wore a soldiers blue overcoat, the tail
OF which had been burned away in
camp fire. He turned his tired OK
en- out to Craze and prepared to To-
cate Then he learned of a placer
strike on Horse Prairie He yoked up
his oxen and drove all night to the
new find, ARRIVING in time to stake a
placer claim from which he took ST.
600 in gold that summer.
That $4,000 was the start of a for
tune which is colossal. His inter-
ests are varied. He is said to have
made a fortune in excess of a million
dollars in seven distinct lines of en-
deaver, but the great bulk of his
wealth was made in mining. a most
satisfactory way of creating wealth,
because it takes money from no one
and furnishes employment for many.
Settled Street Car s. rike.
Senator Clark personally settled
the difference between the Butte
Street Railway company, which he
controls, and his employees recently
When he heard of the strike he went
to Butte and got the strikers togeth-
err He is personally acquainted with
nearly all of them, and calls them by
their first names. He had been in
the city but day and had but two
conferences with his employees, when
the differences were adjusted and
the men went back to work.
81 knew my boys would be reason
able if I had an opportunity Of meet
ing with them,' he said when the
strike had been settled and the street
car service resumed.
The strike settled, he went up to
Glacier park with his family for an
outing.
Individuals who are familiar with
Senator Clark's affairs say his biggest
interest is the United Verde mining
property at Jerome, Arizona. Some
idea of its value may be had from the
following: About four years ago the
representatives Of French syndicate
approached Senator Clark with the
idea of purchasing the property. Sem
ator Clark suggested that they send
their engineers into the mine and
measure up the ore in sight and in
the reserves. He did not say that he
would sell but wanted them to get
some idea of the property's value.
Worth Half a Billion.
A corps of French engineers under
took the work. They measured the
ore in sight carefully. Their estimate
was that there was five hundred mil
lion dollars worth of copper ore
blocked out, to say nothing of the ore
in workings that had not been
opened.
The engineer in charge Informed
Mr.. Clark that it was useless fol
them to proceed further with the ne
gotiations.
