Flowers of the Arctic.
(Pittsburg Gazette Times)

In the brief nightless summer the
Arctic is a paradise of flowers. 1t
would seem to be a compensation OF
Dame Nature for the long winter dur
ing which the sun never shows his
jolly face once
great many of these plants have
of late years become familiar to gar
den lovers because they are much used
in rock gardens, and every flower lover
knows their delicacy of structure, then
brightness of color and their hardi-
hood.
But nothing can beat their original
environment, These patches of yell
low and blue and rose and purple,
cheek by jowl with great beds and
banks of snow or some stranded and
long unmelted berg, look' lovely. 1t is
the setting they were made for
Strangely enough, when brought
south and coaXed to grow in our gar
dens, these Arctic and Alpine plants
lose both a part of their great vitality
and their lovely tint, They pine for
the Arctic like the Eskimo does
Nansen tells of delicate bluebells
nodding in the breeze, saxifrages with
large blossoms, pale and yellow noun
tain peoples, white cloudberry flow
ers and blue forgetmenots in countless
millions in the neighborhood of the
north pole So IL is not all deSOlatiOn
and death. A flower seed is one of
the most difficult things in nature to
kill. Give it half a chance and it will
show up smiling, and do it's bit in
making the world a brighter place to
live in.

BONNER COUNTY MINE.
Standpoint Review

All indications are to the effect that
the Pend d'Orielle mining region has
at last got real mine, one that has
been proven and funds for the devel-
opment of which are at hand
Nothing that has happened in years
has brought about a more optimistic
feeling for the future of Standpoint
than the news of the strike at the
Armstead mine. Mr.. Armstead spent
a fortune to prove that he was right
in his theory that ore bodies in the
Pend d'Orielle district go down and
are found in place. We have heard
it said for long time that the Pend
.dOriele district has rich surface in
dications but that its ore bodies are
"pockety" and faulty" and don't go
to depth. This is the first time that
the contrary has been proven beyond
all peradventure of doubt.
Our thanks to Mr.. Armstead for
his faith and our congratulations that
he has proved his faith was not mis-
placed. 1t means more than the
Armstead mine alone. 1t means that
more men with big resources will help
to develop the many properties which
have good showings and which have
been waiting depth to prove this Just
as good a mining country as the Occur
d Alenes.

4. The terms of the pending bill
that give the board economic and price

| by the war minerals committee and
the bureau of mines as constituted at
present, We should fear the possibility
of such powers, necessarily written
broadly in the bill, falling into other
hands. We think that the result of a

Of it.
5. We are aware that the purpose
Of the trainers of the bill is to stimu-
late the production of certain things,
and therefore they contemplate mini
mum prices rather than maximum,
but the power to fix one kind implies
the other and should not be conferred,
for the reason previously given. If
there be need for some commodity,
natural high prices will stimulate the
production of it, just as we are now
witnessing the development of gra-
phite industry in Alabama. If the ma
tural development be not sufficiently
rapid, owing to the reluctance of pri-
vate capital to embark in enterprises
Of uncertain life, let the minerals and
metals board be authorized to form
a mining corporation with national
capital Such corporation could en-
ter into contracts for mineral supplies
upon terms that would insure private
adventures and accomplish the same
purpose as minimum prices without
introducing the evils of general price
fixing.
In BRIEF therefore, we favor the
general idea of the bill of the war min
erals committee, but we think that it
should be very severely amended, so
as to preclude all danger of further
tampering with our great, self reliant
and efficient mining industry. And
there should not be left in tn bill
anything that might be used as pre-
text for taking over" any nike or
any part of the mining industry.

Liberty Loan and Bank Deposits.

The annual report of the secretary
of the treasury contains this state
ment:
1.-THE first Liberty loan was sold and
paid for between January Is and Aug
ust 81, 1917, and it is interesting to
note that the reports of the national
banks show that between the calls for
reports from these banks of May
1917, and September H. 1917, embrace
ing the period in which the first Lib
the national banks of the country, in
stead of being drained of their re-
sources through these vast collections
by the government actually showed
an increase Of $154,OOO,OOO in the sum
total of their deposits for that per-
iod. The payments for the second
Liberty loan were made with the same
ease that marked the settlements OF
the first"
To the effective machinery afforded
by the federal reserve banks is attrib-
uted the execution of these tremend-
Gus and unprecedented financial oper-
atoms without a tremor of financial
disturbance.
The total deposits on November 20
1917, of 1850 national banks amounted
to $14,79S, 100000, an increase over No

England has many boy veterans in
valded home or on leave from the
front, just as Sherman's army in the
Civil war here was full of hardy
youths with reenlistment stripes de-
noting their length of service. In one
English camp is a detachment of boy
soldiers the eldest of whom is not YET
10. They were removed from the
front because their correct ages were
Iascertained. Some had been two years
fighting the Germans. Many of the
lads developed stomach troubles or
their return to England. 1t was found
that the humdrum of drill after the
excitement of fighting topped with un.
limited quantities of plum pudding af

Engineering and Mining JournaD

Engineering ana Mining Journal)
A bill fathered by the war minerals
committee has been drafted but not
yet introduced in congress, the pull
pose of which is to provide for an ad-
ministration of the metal mines of the
country similar to the administration
of the fuel and food supplies. Regard
ed more narrowly, the purpose is to
provide for the supply of few essen
tial minerals whereof we are short
e.g. pyrites, manganese ore graphite,
etc. In support of the bill it is argued
that unless there be a proper control
of these things there are likely to be
developments of crises similar to that
resulting from the present shortage of
COAL On the other hand, the bill is
meeting with a public reception that
ranges from opposition, through sus-
picion and GOODNESS, to lukewarmness.
Outside of Washington we do not hear
of anybody who is enthusiastic about
it. The mining public is highly sus-
picious respecting the broad powers
for interference in the mining indus
try that are written into the bill We
have been slow in expressing our
opinion of it, retaining from doing
so until after mature reflection. Our
opinion is as follows:
1. There is a danger of crises in
certain mineral supplies, but to avert
them there is need rather for a SUI
preme board of directors, coordinating
all industrial policies, rather than any
sore confusing legislation, which we
think this would be.
2. The great metal industries-iron,
copper, lead, zinc, etc.-are we'll able
legislation that would afford ground
for further tampering with them
should be resisted most strenuously.
3. There is need for an advisory
and administrative minerals and met
ais board, executing details of policy
under a supreme board of directors. AS
examples of the functions of such
b ard, we may mention these: We are
confronted by a shortage of sulphur
especially in the form of pyrites, but
we possess considerable supply Of
birthstone that ought to be used most
advantageously, which the proposed
board should direct Similarly as to
the use Of zinc blende. Such a board
would also look into the augmenting
done by facilitating the completion of
Of our scant tin supply which might be
