Ore Body is Developed and
Foot Wall of Vein Has
Been Opened

Avery comprehensive report on the
condition and future prospects Of the
Fortuna Mine & Mill Of the Montana
Bingham Consolidated Mining Co. by
James E. Higgins. manager Of the
Fortuna mine. has been received here.
The report II dated August I, and Mr..
Higgins explains what the manage
ment Is striving for and the possible
results of future Developments.
During the past three weeks, the
report says. efforts at the mine have
been directly mainly towards devel.
oping the ore body at point between
chutes seven and eight. The foot walk
OF the vein has been opened there,
and the ore found to be rich and over
20 feet wide.
The mill heads for the past three
weeks have averaged better than two
and one-half per cent copper, and in
dicates what can be expected from the
entire vein between chutes 4 and 10.
Mr.. Higgins says. Il have never felt
more encouraged in regard to the final
development. Of the Fortuna into a
large copper mine than I do now"
- The tunnel which is to cut the For.
tuna and Mayflower veins should be
pushed with all possible speed, Mr..
Higgins believes, as it will cut these
ore bodies about 400 feet deeper on
the dip and viii open up a drifting
field Of over 1000 feet long of known
productive ground. @g+
In the quartzite the copper occurs
in small streaks Of copper glance,
and there small veinlets in the crush
ed quartzite are very numerous. and
in many cases assay as high as so per

. The Fortuna mill is operating at
present with Harding Ball mill, four

X. fiotation machine. Concentrates
average 10 tons day and the assays
run from nine to Is per cent each day.
according to whether taken from the
tables or the OIL flotation concentrates
At present every effort Is bent on
the installation of three sets of rolls,
q new ore bin. and q 50-ton power jig
and four more tables, all of which

All the water used at the Fortuna
is obtained from thesMontana Bing-

RAILROAD WAR ECONOMY

Judging by the long time taken to get some war
measures through Congress- the general public may
think that slow progress is being made by Uncle
Sam in Agirding up his loinsp for the struggle. Yet
ssthiags are doing all the while, under the various
divisions of national defense organization. Not
much has been done in Hawaii beyond the start of
cooperation in the matter of food control and per
laps outside Of military affairs there will be little
else here to tax civilian effort.
One instance of the larger activities in the main
lane is that of economizing in railroad Transports

their war board to make available maximum of
transportation energy for the movement of freight

Service to Country"

"Being only human" one of them told senate
committee, the coal operators had taken advantage
OF the war demands to raise prices. "Man's in
humanity TO man makes countless thousands
mourn the poet of humanity walled, but the Unit
ed States has entered the present war to help in
eliminating that dscredtaBle trait of the race.
All the efforts being put forth by the government
and those responding to its CALL for service in the
fields Of battle and those of industry, are bent to
making countless thousands rejoice" through
mans sacrifice for man., as, it is hoped, some poet
in the near future may be justified in paraphrasing
the language of Burns.
To make the conduct of this war as clean and
patriotic, as heroic and selfsacrifcing at home as
1t il in the trenches of France and Flanders was
the motive of an appeal issued a few days ago by
Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture.
Celebrating this sentiment Mr.. Vrooman said:
- Never .before have the businessmen of a nation
shown as much patriotism they have in the United
States d1rng the past three months Unfortunately
however there have been exceptions to this rule.

Character Building For Children

More and more the Importance Of character
building in school children is being recognized TO
start the child at the plastic age with firmly i'm.
planted ideas OF right and wrong is necessity that
cannot be too firmly impressed on all who are in.
terested in child welfare 1t cannot be denied that
this is subject on which very many parents them
selves have hazy ideas and even the Sunday school,
with its two hours or so a week does not make
very emphatic impress.
The Journal of the National Education Associa-
ton announces that two prizes have been offered ny
an anonymous Detroit man who has come to the
conclusion that character education OF child ana
youth Is the fundamental need OF the nation. A
prize OF 5000 is offered for the best written chill
drens code Of morals One year has been allowed
for the composition and the code writers have been
encouraged to seek the assistance OF as many edu-
Gators and parents as they could interest OF sew
enty selected code writer's 80 have presented their
compositions within the specified time and they
have been submitted to the judges. These judges
are Professor Ladd Of Yale, Justice Pitney Of the
ID. s. supreme court, and Mrs. Phillip North More,
president Of the National Council OF Women, st.
Louis. The winner has not vet been announced.
The same donor also has offered prize of $4,000
for the best method Of character education in the
schools. Both Of these competitions have been in
4 sense restricted, since it is recognized that an
bpen competition would simply swamp the judges
with LOT of worthless suggestions that would
hamper their work For this last contest each state
