BOYS FIRST TO WEAR ARM0R
Veteran Soldiers Of Rome Seorned the
Idea Of Such Protection From
Danger a. II Gave.

While these metal clothes, uncom-
Portable, hot and heavy though they
were, have been a necessary style Of
wearing apparel ever since the for
gotten ages when men began to quar-
rel and to strive, writes e. s. Brooks.
in "Stories of the Middle Ages" 1t was
not until a comparatively recent date
that warriors rode to battle wholly
incased In armor. The Assyrians and
Egyptians, the Greeks and Romans
of the earlier days. were satisfied
with such partial protection as
would shield part OF their
bodies. The stout old Roman
legionaries, bronzed and Scared with
exposure and fighting, laughed rather
contemptuously at the fresh levies
which, when sent to the field, wished
to shield their bodies as much as pos
sible. Indeed, the first use Of the word
armor, as we understand 1t, Is found
in the works of a military writer OF
the latter part of the fourth century A.

illusions to Canadian aggressiveness
and practically admits that it would
be hopeless to try and develop a SINH
lar degree Of initiative among German
troops, who must never think. but
obey. His published orders, several Of
which have been found on prisoners
at various times, are strong testimony
to the spirit which animates and
guides the Canadian army-the spirit
Of democracy impelling each man to
bear his burdens cheerfully and will
ingly. to be loyal to his officers and
to the traditions Of British chlvalry
and justice.
The days of slave-driven armies are
over and the old savage spirit of mill
tarism that forfeited mems lives in
millions to the god of war is about to
be crushed once and for ala happy
result made possible to great extent
by volunteer forces led and not driven
to fight, waging war not for wars sake
or lust of conquest but for the FREQ
dom Of the world.

In Holland the lot of some dogs Is
not at all happy one. Many Of them
have to work very hard, indeed, for
the little food that is necessary to
keep them alive. In many instances
the food. they eat is not the same as
the American dog h1s. Some Dutch
dogs will eat carrots and turnips-in

Seriously speaking, Luxembourg
would be a treasured prize for Ger

most after the war lis iron, and Luxem-

producer in the world. Before the
war over 100 iron mines were in

600 persons with ar output of some
11,O00!000 tons of ore.S It is certain
that the Germans have vastly increas-

and not used to rush methods.
Iron is found all over Eoutherp
Luxembourg and the deposits have not
begun to be exploited on a large scale,

EMERALD ISLE WILL SOON
 BE RUNNING FULL BLAST'

The mining editor of the Miner last Thursday visited the plant and mines of the Emerald Isle Copper Company, few miles south of the town of Chlo- ride. He was shown through the plant by the courtesy of Supt. l. C.. Stricker, who was the constructor of the new unit to the teaching plant.
 The entire plant is simplicity itself, every effort being made to cut down unnecessary costs by the setting up of automatic devices for the handling of ores to the tanks and the unloading of the tanks after they have been re- lieved of their load of copper. Trav- cling crane handles the copper sheets from and the lead sheets to the vats. The ore is broken down in glory hole, whence it is carried by car to the breakers and crushers, thence through trammel screens to bins and to the tanks. The crushers have a capacity of 24O tons daily, which will make possible the addition of another unit to the teaching capacity of the plant with minimum of expense.
 The camp is ideally situated on the rolling hills to the west of Nikkler Head peak, buildings having been con- structed on the flat lands on the al- luvian covered deposit of copper. Here e>houses for the employees and an exceptionally good boarding house Other buildings for mine use are sit uated close to the works. A gig dy- namo room is close to the teaching plant and furnishes juice for the ca rhodes, compressor and other machin- cry. This building is ideal in con-
 struction, the floors being concrete and the dynamos and generators be- ing protected by railings. The leach ing plant is we'll housed in and the floors are of concrete and can be read fly flushed, the acid water or refuse from the tanks being carried into the sewers.
 An incline is now being earned down into the deposit and as soon as this has reached depth of about 100 feet a glory hole will be opened end big ore pocket put in. The ore will then be broken down into the pocket at very low cost. At the same time it is expected that the cop per content. will be found to be great CT than at the present depth, although the whole mass is now carrying values close to four per cent, which is far in excess of the original copper content as shown in the outcrop. The ground to the west of the main glory hole and on the decline of the deposit, is far richer than at any other point, which would give the impression that lower depth will bring better grade of ore. Shallow holes over a wide area indicate that. the deposit is extensive and that enough copper ore is in sight to keep plant of greater capacity running for years to come.

PLATINUM, IRIDIUM
 ARE BADLY NEEDED

The government is in dire need of three metals that are associated with gold, but which are essential to war work. These metals are platinum, ir- iridium, and palladium. The most im- portant of the group is platinum, al- though it is the lowest in price of these esential metals. Platinum is found in the placer mines of the coun- try, although unusually it is found in some veins associated with gold and copper. While it's price was low it was used in the mounting of diamonds and for filligree work. Its present use is for spark plugs in motors and metallurgical uses. Fully 30,000 ounces of platinum will be required this year for catalyzing (decompos- ing) purposes in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Other needs are im- DOT and more than 100000 ounces will portant and more than 100000 ounces will be necessary for all purposes be necessary for all purposes.
 Iridium is found in gold placer mines in conjunction with Platinum, which its resembles. It is much hard CT metal and is used for pen points and for the hardening of vents in large guns. Alloyed with platinum it forms hard, white metal.
 Palladium is a metal resembling both the others, but is soft and duc- tile. It is used for many purposes, having the property of occluding more than one thousand times its weight in gases, and is also used for plating and for dental work. It is most pe- culiar of the platinum group and its use is limited only by it's constantly increasing price. The three metals are to be taken over by the govern ment and $200,O00 has been set aside for the purchase of all offered at high prices.

MINING NEWS Eere and Elsewhere ANsoN T sN
TUNNEL TO BE DRIVEN ON
 MISSOURI-MOhAVE MINES

The Missouri -Mohave mines, at Ger bat, are being operated by Gen. Mgr. G. w. Mark, with a good force of men. A contract has just been let to drive tunnel to the vein some distance north of the main shaft and this work is now under way. In the shaft a. drift is being carried north on the vein from the 100 which is in a. splendid body of ore. This drift has been car ried out 20 feet, the ore streak in- creasing from few inches to four feet, all good looking milling stuff.
 The Missouri-Mohave vein was at one time the property of the mining editor, who took several tons of rich gold ore from it. Later it passed in to the hands of other people and con- siderable ore was milled from it. The property is in one of the best miner- alized sections of the Cerbat range, being in the heart of the gold belk, With greater development this prop erty should make a good producing mine.> N Rich bodies of ore are sure to be found in the property, there be- ing shoots of high grade going down in several places to the present depth. The property was recently equipped and further development can now be carried on expeditiously.
