HEADS OF SEATTLE AND MOS.
COW STATIONS HERE-Look
FOR WAR METALS.

Thomas Marley superintendent of
the United States mining experiment
station at Seattle, and c. A. Wright,
manager in charge of the station at
Their special business at this time is
to arrange for shipment of lead-zinc
ore to the Moscow station for expert
mental work in selective or preferen-
tial flotation. The mining companies
of the Occur d'Alene district have dis
played much interest in the work or
the Moscow station, which is main
tanned in cooperation with the state
university on a $3.50 basis by the bu-
reau of mines and the state of Idaho.
Up to this time, however, the states
end of the bargain has been mainly
carried by the mining companies of
the Occur d'Alenes, the appropriation
for that purpose having been vetoed
by Governor Alexander The splendid
work being accomplished by the sta
ton is rapidly overcoming whatever
opposition there has been to giving it
legislature meets it is believed there
will be no difficulty in securing a lib
eral appropriation, one that will per-
nit steady expansion of the activ-
tiles of the station. The bureau of
mines will provide a sum equal to the
state appropriation, whatever it ma.
be.
The attention of the station is now
being given to the recovery Of lead
and zinc by selective flotation, and
Mr.. Wright states that very satisfact-
DRY progress is being made. The ex-
periments are being conducted on ore
from the mines of this district.
Seek War Metals.
The work of the Seattle station is
now largely being shaped to the needs
of the government in war, Superin-
tendent Marley says. The demand for
metals which have heretofore been
obtained from foreign sources and the
supply of which has been cut off, has
stimulated the search for these min
erals in our own country under the di-
rect encouragement of the govern
ment. Mr.. Marley states that much of
his time has in recent months been
given to investigating finds of this
character which have been reported to
the bureau of mines. Most of them
prove to be without merit, but all are
Investigated, for if one out of hun
d1eds should prove a valuable deposit
the government would be amply re-
paid for the effort AS examples of
this war work and the wide field he
covers, Mr. Marley stated that within
the last few weeks he had been call
ed to the Black Hills to investigate a
tin discovery, then to California to get
samples of quicksilver ore, and then
came discovetry Of potash that re-
quired attention. The Importance of
this field work is such that it is be-
lieved that provision will be made for
special men to take it over. Mr.. Var
ley will go to Washington in May
where a conference of all superintend-
ents of experimental stations will be
held. He and Mr. Wright will be in
the district until tomorrow afternoon.

York office the Federal Mining &
Smelling company lost $193,525 during
the quarter ending January 81. These
figures include deduction Of $71,6S9
on account of depreciation. The loss

lions at the Morning, made necessary
by making extensive repairs in the
shaft. The mine was closed down dur

COPPER KING.
Great Body Of Ore Has Been DeveI-
oped-PIanning for Mill.

Harry w. ingalls,, manager of the
Copper King, was down from Mullan
Tuesday. Regarding the Copper King
ore shoot. which has attracted much
attention during the past few months,
he stated that development continues
to increase its size which
has already assumed enormous
proportions. In round figures he says
the ore body has now ben proved for
a distance of 100 feet and for a width
of so feet. There is now estimated to
be 1000 tons of good milling ore on the
dump, all taken out in the course of
development. Consideration is being
given to the construction of a mill
this summer.

SUN SHIN {.
Stockholders Authorize Increase in the
Capital Stock.


At special meeting of the stock
holders of the Sunshine Mining COM
pany in this city last Friday evening,
a resolution was adopted authorizing
an increase of capital stock Of the COM
pany from 100000 shares to 100000
This action was taken in anticipation
of taking over adjoining property and
to provide funds for carrying out an
extensive plan Of development. The
property to be taken over is the 1dora
Tuscumbia, Toughnut and possibly
other claims, but of which there is nc
authorized information. Some time
ago the Idora stockholders agreed to
the terms Of consolidation, and it is
understood that an agreement has
been reached between the Sunshine
and the Tuscumbia. The Sunshine
company now holds the Toughnut
under bond.
A deep tunnel has already been
started by the Sunshine company just
above Beaver creek, near the 1dora
mill. The high water destroyed the
wagon road along the creek and forced
a suspension of work in the tunnel. 1t
is announced that work will be resum-
ed soon after the first Of the month.
d. L. McGrath, manager of the Sun
shine, returned from Wisconsin Fri
day afternoon in time for the meeting.
Among outside stockholders present
were d. c. Smith, president of the
company, and Dr. E. G. Ellis, treas
urer, both Of Missoula,

prime western brands. To arrive at
the New York price add II cents per

RICE SHORTAGE FELT
 IN HAWAII TERRITORY

HONOLULU, T. H.-Hawaii is experiencing rice famine and the price is aviating.
 To relieve the shortage the terri torial food commission acting in CO., operation with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce has arranged to char ter special steamer to bring sev- eral thousand tons of rice from Japan. As Hawaii imports four fifths of her rice supply, the short age is due in a large measure to scarcity of cargo space from the Orient.
 The island crop amounting to 12O,- 900 tons will not be available until this month. :... ..-.. .=--. '.~.:.*

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Realizing the importance of uninterrupted activities in all lines of industry, President Wilson has sent tele- gram to the American Federation of Labor and the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy, now in convention at St. Paul, urging the renewed efforts of labor in support of the war.

REDUCES
 CRIME IN SALT LAKE

SALT LAKE CITY-Prohibitio is given the credit for a noticebale decrease in crime and misdemeanors, according to the Chief of Police J. Farley White, of this city, who has just made comparison of police records for the first four months of 1918, with those of the first four months of 1917.
 The comparison shows a decrease of fifty per cent in the number of arrests in the four month period. Emergency hospital cases, however, have shown an increase, but none of the cases treated can be directly traced to liquor, the report indicates.

BRITISH FORCE GERMANS BACK NEAR ALBERT
EDES OPTIMISTIC OVER OUTLOOK FOR SUMMER WORK
HUNS USING TANKS:
 FRENCH FALL BACK

PARIS.-The German drive to- ward Paris from the Montdidier- Noyon line continued uninterrupted throughout the night and is being prosecuted vigorously today, the battle being described as one of the bloodiest of the war. The Germans are moving forward with relentless steadiness, despite the fearful losses which they are sustaining. The kaiser, seemingly is determined to throw his last reserves into the ac- tion in a supreme effort to reach Paris before the American army be- comes sufficiently large to prevent further progress on the Western front.
 The Germans continue to press forward in the center of their line of advance, where they are throw ing their greatest weight against the French defenses. At this point, they have advanced distance of six miles since Saturday.

SUCCESSFUL COUNTER

PARIS.-On the left of the line of attack, south of Montdidier, the French have offered effective re- sistance to the German advance. The French also executed a brilliant counter at the center of the line, after having been pressed backward to the Aronde river, and hurled the enemy back sufficiently to premit of the re-establishment of the lines at St. Maur, south of Belloy. They have been unable to hold the ground however, and today are retiring slowly again, pressed hard by an army much stronger in number.
 The Germans also have gained ground on the right, where they are employing large forces in their at- tacks. In that region, the French have withdrawn their lines to the west and south of Ribecourt.

B|G SALT LAKE STORE BOOSTING
 WAR GARDENING

SALT LAKE CITY.-Located at one of the principal corners in the business district in Salt Lake City, is a big department store, employing nearly five hundred men, women, boys and girls, and it is on this site, pioneers here say, that irrigation was first introduced in the United States, In commemoration of this event in agriculture, the manage ment of this huge emporium has signed virtually every one of it's employees as a participant in the National Community War Garden campaign.
 Every employee of this store, ac- cording to the management, has agreed to plant war garden on his or her back yard, or vacant lots ad- jacent to their homes, and this com munity campaign to stimulate the production of food has been the in centive of starting a similar move ment among the employees of other establishments here, although they have not the original irrigation site" as stimulus for their Com munity War Gardens.

Head of Alaskan Engineering Com- mission Says Five Million Will
 Be Enough. .j

SEATTLE. -- Interviewed today,
 regarding the action of the house
 committee on the Alaska railroad
 appropriation, Chairman w. C. Edes,
 of the Alaskan Engineering commis-
 sion, expressed the belief that, not withstanding the fact that congress
 had been asked to grant seven mil
 lions of dollars this year, the com
 mission would be able to do a great
 deal of work with five and one. quarter millions, the amount recom-
 mended by the committee, yester- day. He said also that, on account of possible labor shortage, it might be impossible for the commission to do more than five million dollars worth of work.
 Manager J. L. McPherson, of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, who has kept in close touch with the Alaska appro- priations, says that he did not ex- pect the committee to recommend more than five and one-quarter millions.
 Before apporving the Alaska rail road item yesterday, the house ap- propriation committee heard Her bert A. Meyer, representative of the Department of the Interior, who in- formed the lawmakers that he visit ed Alaska a few months ago and found that the work of building the Government railroad had progressed well and that construction costs were as low as possible, considering the distance of the work from the source of supplies. He said that the Alaskan Engineering commission believed that the road should be con- tinued toward Broad Pass, and southward from Nenana to the Ne mana coal fields. -.:- "
