esque Labor Demonstration
City Ever Saw.

PARIS. May 3O.-The strike sta TT
ed last week by working girls for a
Saturday half holiday with pay and
higher wages spread today to the
bank clerks. A considerable number
of men and women employed by the
Societe Generate de Credit in Avenue
! kleber, quit work at noon. An hour
later they gathered around the estab-
lishment and called upon the Others
employed in the bank to join the
strike. The doors were closed against
them. The Societe Generate employs
5000 women and 1900 men.
The strike of the dressmakers was
only half settled with the return to
work of the seamlstres4ss on obtain
ing concessions. Millinery and fur
makers are still out, and were Joined
today by embroiderers. The workers
in these three trades are now organ
lied and have been admitted to the
Federation of Labor. Consequently
the strike is being carried on method
ically and energetically.
After discussing their claims at the
Labor Exchange this morning a large
number of women and girls gathered
at the Bourse during the noon hour
In perfect order and with songs and
laughter they organized the most
picturesque labor manifestation over
witnessed in Paris. Divided into
groups. some marched to establish
ments in which work was still going
on to induce the girls to Join the
strike, while Others went to the Min
istry of Labor for a conference with
Leon Bourgeois, head of that depart
ment.

Because the pay IA You go" argu-
ment advanced by senator Pierce in
support of his bill to add one mill to
the state highway tax and spend the
funds in each county from which it
is derived is not a sound business
proposition. The farmers, business
men and stockmen of Eastern Oregon
who have followed this slogan and
not used their credit have with very
few exceptions marked time or drift
ed backward. Besides under his
plan the $35O.OOO raised in Multno-

in that county instead of being dis

SURVEY MAPS
 FOR PUBLIC
 READY SOON

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1916, all field and office work in connection with the coal areas in MatanuSka, Bering river and Nenana coal fields was completed in time for opening the coal lands under the leasing act. Flats of township sur veys, approved by the surveyor gen eral and sent up for acceptance, amount to over 350,OO0 acres, which is about one-half of the total, are of surveyed land in the territory. The secretary of the interior, in his last annual report, recommends that an appropriation of S5O,OOO be made for the prosecution of surveys in Alaska this year, and the continuance of the policy of group surveys under the present system of investigation, selec- tion and execution.
 Formal announcement of the open ing of the coal fields of MatanusSa and Bering river to leasing privileges was made May s, 1916, resulting m six applications in the Matanuska and two in the Boring river fields, pro posing a maximum investment of nearly $$,OOO,OOO,
 Under section 10 of the coal leasing act, which authorizes free permits to mine coal on small tracts for domestic use, l5 permits have been issued The estimated annual output under these permits is 142,7 tons.
 The new United States map shows the extension of public surveys dur ing the fiscal year to an area Of S'- S55.724 acres. The issuance of a gen eral map of Alaska during 1917 IS an nOunced by the commissioner of the general land office, which will show all recent work in the public and coal land surveys, also the line of the government railroad and the several towns located thereon.

Mining Notes

Clarence DOrminger is reported to have struck pay on Livingood creek, in the Tolovana country, 500 feet farther down the stream than any previous discovery.
 Fairbanks reports small stampede on to Silver creek, a tributary of Goldstream. The creek has been located for it's entire length by the stampeders, but nothing definite could be ascertained as to the cause of the stampede. Nothing in the way of pay has ever been located on the creek so far as known.
 Stassford, McCandish & Co.,, of the town of Brooks, have purchased q large plant and will thoroughly pros pect Lucky Gulch, tributary of Liv- ingood.
 The Harper syndicate which recent ly took over the Westlake interests in the copper property at Moira Sound, have commenced operations on the property and have installed an ore crusher and concentrating machinery. They are employing about l5 men.
 J. l.. Steele, mining engineer for the Alaska Standard Copper com pany, which is engaged in developing the Standard copper property on Landlock bay, reports excellent pro- gress with the work, and expects .o have the property on shipping basis within a short time.
 Tales of fabulous deposits of native copper have been brought to San Francisco by Captain c. T. Peterson, of the Stefansson expedition. The explorers found the Eskimos sewing clothes with needles made of copper, on Banks Island, which is about $50 miles due north of Great Bear lake. This story recalls the finding of native copper in the Coppermine river country by Samuel Hearne rn 177O, by others since and finally the expedition of MT. George M. Douglas, who in 1911 and 1912 penetrated in- to this remote region and made a careful investigation as related in his delightful book, Glands Forlorn." He and his friend, pr. August Sandberg, Swedish geologist, found copper in the amygdaloidal portion of basaltic flows and in beds of conglomerate, re- sembling those of the Lake Superior country. No rich ore was discovered, but samples brought home suggested possibilities of large-scale exploita- tion in days to come. Similar copper finds have been made on Bathurst. in- let, on the west side of Hudson's. bay, 500 miles to the east. Evidence ac- cumulates to indicate wide distri- button of copper in the Arctic regions of this continent, and we do not doubt that some day a thorough exploration will be made in search of ore bodies rich enough to warrant mining on a large scale. Among those that are making millions out of the current in- flaticn of copper shares there should be two or three willing to find the money required to equip an expedi- ton to explore the territory between Hudson's bay, the Coppermine river and Banks Island.
