SILVER IN COIN.
Would Reduce Amount to Make 1t
Improbable to Melt.

Members of the Silver League of
America started a movement this
week to wake up the government to
the fact that the rising price of sill
Yer would soon make it necessary for.
this country to follow the other ma
tons of the world into revising the
silver currency by establishing a
new standard Of coins in each nation,
with or without international agree
ment, whereby it would be impracti-
cal and therefore impossible to melt
down silver coins says the Financial
Review Of New York. That is to say.
with new coins containing so little
silver that the market value of the
silver would be less than the money
value of the coin, then America and
the nations of Europe would have a
stabilized silver or hard money with
which to carry on business, and gem
eral business would vastly improve.
Such a movemen is in no sense to
be confused with any movement for
free silver or with price restrictions
on silver OF ~embargoes.

RU BIES.
Most of Worlds Supply Comes From
Burma.


The greater part of the worlds
rubies are derived from the mines OF
the Mogok valley, in Burma, where
much modern machinery and the very
latest tools are employed to facilitate
the examination of a large amount OF
byon, or ruby bearing clay. Near ny
in the valleys of the Buumans, the
search for rubies is conducted very
much as it was centuries and centur-
les ago. The digging and washing
there is a matter of hand labor; but
they are still getting the rubies. the
finest rubies in all the world.
In the Mogok valley, however,
where large workings II always in
hand, a scientific system has been in
troduced with corresponding results.
The byon is extracted by the open
quarry method of removing all the
surface down to the ruby bearing
cleay. This is then dug up, carried on
trolleys to the steam cleansing mill,
washed, passed through sleeves, and
then closely scrutinized for rubies and
spinels.
I'm addition to the pure ruby, spinel
or balas rubies, are found in large
quantities in Mogok. Whenever the
ruby Is found there also Is 'spinel.
Both are crystals of aluminium, but of
varying shape. While the true ruby
may BE said to be pure corundum on
ly, the spinel shows a minute quanti-
ty of magnesium, the presence of
which lessons its hahrdness by one
fifth.
There is in use at these mines an
instrument called the dichroiscope,
whereby rubies are separated from the
spinels with the utmost accuracy and
certainty. The gem is placed in the
instrument in such a way that a ray
of light passes through it and is pol
arized. The true ruby shows a pure
red ray, whereas the spinel discloses
a slight tinge of blue with the red.
Among the comparatively few mag
niicent spinels in existence may be
mentioned the great A%gincourt ruby
in the British crown.

through tunnel levels, and the high
est percentage Of zinc was found in
the upper workings. in fact, in the
lower levels the proportion of zinc de-
creased to such an extent that the
zinc recovery was not sufficient to
justify leasing a separate mill for the
treatment of the ore. From this ex-
perience it Is believed probable that
with a little more depth ON the Ore
or-no-go Vein zinc will practically
disappear. AT this time the Ore-or-
no-go vein has not been explored be-
lew the creek level, but all indica-
tions point to it proving to be a valu-
able addition to the of the
Hecla mine. 1t is understood that the
matter of it's further development Is
under consideration, the question to
be determined being whether to oper-
ate through an independent shaft Or
to use the present shaft and reach the
Ore-or-no-go by prosecuting from
the various levels.
Milling 600 Tons Daily.
The Hecla mill at Gem lis handling
an average of about 900 tons of ore
per day and running six days a week.
Milling operations were curtailed to
this extent oon after the armistice
was signed, owing to the slump in the
lead market due to the large stocks
of lead on hand following the sudden
termination of the war. Conditions
have not since justified a return to
production, and Hecla has
maintained this rate Of pro-
duction with the exception Of the
period when the mill was shut down
by the strike.

WAR NEWS IN GUAM.
First Veteran Of Great War Arrives
on Far Away Island.

First Veteran OF Great War Arrives
on Far Away Island.
Guam has a real live war hero al
last! According to the advices re-
ceived at marine corps headquarters
Washington, Sergeant George w,
Murphree, U. s. marines, has arrived
at the American possession away out
in the middle of the Pacific ocean,
and the inhabitants have had their
first opportunity to hear Of the world
war from M who actually fought at
the front in France.
Although a marine corps garrison
is maintained on the island, they
had been marooned amid the pleasant
tropical surroundings during the war
and none had served in France. A
copy of the Guam News Letter, re-
ceived at headquarters shows that all
We're eager to hear about the big
show from one who played a part in
1t.
Murphree was in the thick Of all
the battles in which the marines took
part. He was given a royal welcome
where he stepped off the transport.
But those who crowded around to
hear him tell his story were at first
disappointed, for he was struck dumb
by the ovation he received.
Hostilities were a thing OF the dis
past, and in the United States
arrival of veterans had long since
ceased to aus a ripple of excite
ment. Hence Murphree expected to
slip into his e station unnoticed,
out everyone, from governor to buck
private, insisted that he tell them all
,bout his adventures.
Taps had to he ~foregone at the
marine barracks that night, as it was
ong, long after 10 o'clock before
hey would allow Murphree to turn
n. Murphree, who Is an old time
marine, requested duty in Guam af-
err returning from France. He had
erved on the beautiful island before
nd liked the life.

MEMORIAL BUILDING
IN HONOR OF SOLDIERS
BOARD OF TRADE ASKS COUNCIL
TO PREPARE PRELIMINARY
PLANS.

The erection of a memorial building
In this city in honor of those who lost
their lives in the great war was the
chief subject of discussion at the
weekly luncheon Of the board of trade
last Monday. The matter was brought
to the attention Of the meeting
through the presentation of a report
by James +. Mccarthy, chairman Of
the committee appointed several
weeks ago to investigate and report
on the feasibility of the project. The
original plan proposed, and the one
which was referred to the committee,
was for the erection of a memorial
building which would be a home for
the American Legion and containing
an assembly hall, club rooms, gymna-
sum, swimming pool and other feat
ures usually provided in such a build
ing; also quarters for the Red Cross,
women's rest room and possibly other
features of a public nature. The COM
mittee found that the original cost
and upkeep and maintenance Of such
a building would be prohibitive; that
1t would not serve the general public
to the extent a memorial of that char
acter should, and that to a certain
extent 1t would duplicate facilities al
ready provided by the Wallace high
school. For these reasons the COM
mittee recommended that this plan be
abandoned.
