GOVERNMENT MINES co.
New Company Will Build Mill
Handle Big TaiIings Dump.

Articles of incorporation of the Gov
eminent Mines company have been
filed and the company has taken over
a lease held by the Spokane Mining
e. Milling company on certain old tail
ings dumps of the Ontario mine. These
tailings are being worked by hand jigs,
one carload of ore having been shipped
and another is ready. These shipments
have demonstrated that there is good
profit to be made in the enterprise, but
hand jigging isq too slow. The new
company win therefore build mill,
construction OF which will begin with
in thirty days. 1t is estimated that
there is over 100000 tons of tailings In
the dump to be worked. The officers
of the company are Gust WitkousN, of
Wallace, president; S. A. Rimelstaugh,
Of Burke, vice president; Charles Girls
well, of Burke, secretary treasurer;
and R. T. Criswell of Stewart, man
ager. These with Joe f. Francis, of

HOLLAND WON FROM THE SEA
First Sight Of Great bikes Amazing,
Even to One Who Has Read All
About the System.

Everyone who visits Holland, of
course. goes there knowing full well
that this is land won from the sea-
that the Dutch have built them a coun-
try by raising bikes and pumping the
water out of the inclosed lowlands !;
but the first actual sight of the dixie
system and of what il actually means
To win country from the sea comes
with as fresh an effect of surprise and
amazement as though one had never
heard the tale before.
Holland today is II quiet little
checkerboard of Hat country, fertile,
quiet and prosperous. dotted with
thriving cities. gridironed with roads
and canals. Old Holland, If we can
believe what the historians tell us,
was one of the worst wildernesses In
the world-a country of huge and an
cry lakes. Of endless dismal swamps,
of league on league of dense, impene-
trable forest. Here and there bit Of
that old forest has been preserved. as
nj The Hague and the public look on
It as an historical relic. Even i'm the
time of King Philip il the country was
such that that pious monarch called II
the nearest thing 10 hell that was to
he found on earth. Today il is pre-
eminent for fertility, prosperity and
peace. The change was wrought by
one thing-dikes.
In the old school readers there was
standard tale Of noble little Dutch
boy who saved his province from dis
nster. He observed tiny leak in one
Of the dikes ana. thrusting his finger
into II. he sat down and kept ii plug
ged until help arrived, in spite Of con-
siderable discomfort from cramp I'm
the arm. This is pretty tale. but one
which first-hand observation Of the
dikes leads the visitor TO regard with
some skeptcism. IT reminds one of
small boy who would prop up the
Washington monument II II began 10
fall. The enormous mass OF the dikes
is something hard TO realize. There
is one nine miles long that reaches
down with solid granite 200 feet below
the surface Of the sea. In another
province the bikes run for 300 miles.
There is a single dixie which was In
stalled at such expense that ii is said
the great mass of stone could be du-
plicated in solid copper for the money
II took to erect II. Holland is like
fortress eternally beleaguered by the
sea and the price of her safety Is
eternal vigilance.
