81 favor the granting of govern
ment aid and government funds to-
ward building this highway" was
the statement of j. B. Fauntleroy,
Uncle Sans engineer, whose duty it
is to pass upon proposed highway
construction where federal aid is
asked.
"It is truly a wonderful country.
Terrebonne is a land of wonderful
advantages-wonderful agricultural
wealth and splendid resources of
great variety. In addition it is a
most beautiful country. l don't be-
lieve that even you realize how beau
tiful it is and how much that beauty
is worth to you. / want to see this
highway completed"
With these cheering messages from
the men to whom projects Of this
kind are of every day occurrence, the
people of this whole section have put
their shoulder to the wheel to carry
out their plans. These plans, too,
are Of much wider scope than before
the engineers came to Terrebonne,
for, upon the suggestion Of Mr.. Faun-
tleroy, not only the link from Houma
to Raceland is now projected, but
that from Houma to Morgan City is
now in hand and going forward at all
speed.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE.
SOFT, CLEAR
Make this beauty lotion for few
cents and see for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore, irritating,
and should be mixed with orchard
white this way. Strain through
fine cloth the juice of two fresh lem
ons into bottle containing about
three ounces of orchard white, then
shake well and you have a whole
quarter pint of skin and complexion
lotion at about the cost one usually
pays for small jar Of ordinary cold
cream. Be sure to strain the lemon
juice so no pulp gets into the bottle,
then this lotion will remain pure and
fresh for months. When applied daily
to the face, neck, arms and hands it
should help to bleach, clear, smooth
en- and beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three oun-
ces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

Will Visit Morgan City

! Word has been received that high
Officials Of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration will soon visit the plant of
yhe Union Bridge and Construction
Company. They have been on of.
Ificial business in Houston, Texas, and
have notified Superintendent H. K.
Seller they will make a brief stay in
Morgan City on their way home.
Their visit here will be undoubted-
1y due to the fine reports conceuning
the efficient work accomplished by
the Union Bridge and Construction
Company, received by the Shipping
Board. It will result in the informa-
tion regarding Morgan City's fine
record as shipbuilding point and
her still finer possibilities yet unreal
lied, being further spread to the
financial and political centers of the
nation.
The members of the expected party
are: James o. Hayworth, superintend-
jent of wooden and concrete ship
building division; Theodore Ferris,
designer of the famous type of mer-
chant marine vessel bearing his name; /;
Chief Inspector Lang of the Bureau
of Shipbuilding; Alexander Maitland.

ton of road materials and supplies.
Furthermore the Office of Public
Roads and Rural Engineering will act
as the medium for furnishing infor-
nation and assistance on highway
problems, especially to state highway
authorities, in meeting the various
difficulties which they encounter.
Work Planned Before War.
When the United States entered
the war the work of planning State
highway systems, so that, as far as
necessary and feasible, they would
connect with the systems of other
States, was well under way. This re-
suited from efforts to administer the
federal aid road act, so that the roads
of vital Importance for economic,
military, and other purposes should
first be dealt with. The Federal aid
road act-involving an aggregate
five-year expenditure directly and
from State and local funds of $780,
100000 in addition to at least $780,
100000 spent independently each
year by the States-provides that the
States must maintain the roads, and
that before any money can be ex-
pended the roads must be selected
and approved and plans, specifica-
'tions, and contracts submitted. It
also provides that the federal govern
ment must inspect the construction Of
the roads.
War Road Policy Adopted.
Soon after the United States en-
tered the war the Department of Ag-
riculture requested the State high
way commissions to join it in direct
ing expenditures only on roads Of
prime Importance for economic and
military purposes. In this undertake
ing, the secretary says, the depart
ment has received the cooperation Of
State authorities.
The department has been actively
cooperating with the Capital Issues
Committee in its task of keeping out
of the market road bonds the issu-
ance of which was not urgent from
the point of view of aiding the Nation
in winning the war.
The secretary also calls attention
to the fact that road engineers have
been provided by the department for
each of the army environments and
for work on roads elsewhere in which
military authorities were interested.

BOSTON. March 9. - Running al SOes of milling capacity Inspiration Consolidated Copper company is ex- pected to turn out during the month of February over 6.O0O.OO0 pounds Of copper. against 5,00O.0O0 pounds in January. A year ago production in the first two months approXimated 21,- S50.O0O pounds
 For the past three weeks the com pany has been operating Is of its 20 mill sections with from 14,000 to 15,- 900 tons of ore handled daily. The labor market has never fully recover ed to normal conditions.
 Inspirations excess profits tax will probably be heavy. Eliminating ex- traordinary taxes, however, Inspira- tion can turn out copper at not far from 10 cents a pound under prevail ing conditions.
 When directors meet in about a month for dividend action it will probably be found that earnings for the first quarter of this year will not have fully covered requirements but with indications pointing 10 normal operations by April and strong cash position, it appears likely that the board will continue the S2 rate.

KINGMAN. March 9.-The Cactus Queen Copper company, operating tn, old Tappan mines. on Bill Williams Fork, in the Rawhide country, has cut the ore body on the 200 level, which shows 15O feet in width of pay ore. The ore carries high values in copper and some gold. Assays taken from the ore bory gave as high as 43 per cent of the red metal while an aver age sample gave better than 6 per cent.
 The mines have been under the man. agement of II. II. Barbee, who has ob- tained big results from the amount Of money expended. While no machinery has so far been installed on the prep critics. geared windlasses have been used in sinking the shaft. Shallow shafs. crosscuts and drifts have been opened everywhere throughout the great estate of the company, and ev- anywhere bodies of copper ore have been found. The country is capped with iron carbonates and manganese. and below this cap copper has been found.

BONANZA KING TELLS
 FL PAS0ANS OF RICH
 SILVER IN CHIHUAHUA
(SpeciaI to the Reviewl

FL PASO, Tex, March 9.-John w. Baker of Hereford, Ariz., was in the city on his way home from Sydney. O., yesterday. Mir Baker was former ly a resident of this city, during which time he discovered the famous Blan- cha de Plata silver mine in the Sabinal mountains in the state of Chihuahua, about 70 miles southwest of Fl Paso. Associated with Baker was Nose Ste vens, Isaac N. Stevens and James In gles. The Blancha de Plata vein proved to be one of iie r-cnest silver deposits discovered in northern Mex ico during the last century
 At that time, which was around 1885,. these men ventured over the in. ternational line from Clifton, Ariz., prospected through the mountains southward until they made the dis covery.
 The country was infested. by ma rauding bands of Apache Indians, and they were about the only white men who escaped being massacred.
 They packed their grubstake and mining tools and powder on burros, travelling afoot
 One night Baker. who had been gone all day prospecting the hills, returned to camp and brought some samples he had broken of a large white ledge, showing very rich cnunKs of silver. native and horn silver. In a few days the lucky prospectors had taken from the surface several tons of the rich stuff
 Two of the partners packed four burro loads of it all the way to Dem- ing, N. M. This they spent at Dem ing Tn celebrating the discovery.
 Returning with wagons, they made another shipment, followed by several others, and within six months they had sold over S1O0,O00 worth of ore. This sudden wealth was soon spent in regular frontier fashion. both in Dem ing and Fl Paso .iterward they turned the property over to a com pany composed of Chicago and Ne braska capitalists. wh.1a IS said to have taken out another $1OO,O00 in high grade silver ore
 Following the discovery of the Blan- cha de Plata, the Sabinal camp be- came the scene of great mining ac- tivity and yielded about S1,000,000
 MT. Baker is now engaged in nm ing in the Huachuca mountains south west of Tombstone, Ariz; Isaac x. Stevens is now operating a copper mine in the Clifton Morenci district; Nose Stevens died at Santo Tomas, state of Chichuahua, about 20 years ago. and Jim Ingles is farming and hog raising at Candelaria. about 170 miles down the Rio Grande below Fl PasC

SHANNON MAY HALT
 FURTHER OPERATION
 ON METCALF MINES
Special to Review.)


 BOSTON. March 9.-Shannon Met. calf property. which for many years has shown a steadily declining tend ency in ore value, has reached the point where it is believed operations will have to be suspended.
 N. L. Amster, president of the com pany, who has recently returned from @ trip to the mines, says:
 ''The semi-oxidized o.es a; ;ae Met calf property which shannon even in times of low costs of operation found it difficult to treat at a profit have of late been steadily declining to poorer grade and the time is nearing when operations will have to be abandoned.
 This. however. does not mean that we will abandOne all our properties al Clifton. We shall still continue to treat the concentrating ores that we have always treated and shall continue to leach the tailings under a process that after four years of expeTimenta- ticn. we have found to be feasible. We hope to treat 15 tons of ore per day. from which We shall extract 14 to Is pounds of electrolytic copper per ton at a cost of 12 cents per pound.
 lnt AGM HANRCAAA lNnNANC0 bN Shannon has a sufficient amount of ore in sight to assure of a least the purchase price, which with the amount of development work already done there approximates S200,O0O. It is too early to forecast what we can expect in the way of profits, but the import ant thing is that we can see a return of our money with prospect that op- erations in future will prove profitable.
 "The Leonard mines which also be- long to Shannon are continuing to show a reasonable tonnage of low srade sulphide ores with an Occas- ional body of 3ft or 4ce copper ore which in the average brings up the copper production from the lower grade sulphides.
 "While the Leonard mine is looking better than ever before. we believe some new plan may have to be evolved for the treatment of this ore to better advantage than 10 ship it to Clifton.
 ''The strike at shannon last summer cost upwards of Sl50,000. Faced with this expense and loss of earnings shannon directors have thought it ac visable to temporarily suspend divi- dends.
 While we are exerting every effort to reduce costs 10 a minimum to keep Shahnon in the active producing stage. the great increase in costs of labor, supplies and coke prohibit any large profits from operations with copper selling at 231s cents per pound,
 Shannon is in comfortable financial condition; owes no money and has working capital sufficient for it's needs"

Length of Our Fighting Line.

From the Lowell Courier Citizen)
The American troops on the firing
line one is told. now come third in tn e
matter of mileage held. That is not
surprising, The French have, as al
ways by far the greatest mileage. The
British come next with about one
third Of the total length. The Anne
cans, coming third, are holding COM
paratively little of the line. Belgians
and Portuguese probably figure as
holding still smaller sectors. The
really significant thing is never the
mere mileage but the amount of en-
envy strength contained" by any
given portion. It has often been urged
as if it were to the reproach of the
British that they held SO brief seq
ment of the war area by contract with
the F'rench--but it has to be remem-
bered that the short fraction of the
line manned by the English forces has
lately been the worst storm centre Of
the whole western front, with some
times as much as two thirds of the
whole German strength piled up
against it in a furious end eavor to
"strafe" this particular portion of the
allied resistance.
