TRIBUTE TO COUNTRY PRESS

The Philadelphia Ledger takes issue
with one of the big city dailies in its
view that the new secretary of the
treasury does not size up to the job.
The only argument advanced, says the
Ledger, is that Mr. Glass, being a coun-
try editor, has no training in large fl
nance, to which the Ledger replies
"The big city editor who does not know
that the country editor has more trou-
BILE with financing his job than any
other part of it, needs personal contact
to enlighten him. Any man who can
successfully run country newspaper
is fit for most any big job. Secretary
of the Navy Daniels was not the first
man to prove this, and it is safe to say
that Secretary Glass will not be the
last. Numerous country editors help
much in running the country without
holding any other job.

COPPER MINING IN MINERAL
POINT

To the present generation copper min
ing in this community is a mere tradi
ton. But copper was mined here. on
the hill which overlOOks the town from
the east, as early as 1885. The ore
then was hauled by OK team to Galena
and taken by boat to New Orleans, and
thence by sailing vessel to Swansea,
Wales, for reduction. The late Richard
Oates, a pioneer of Mineral Point, saw,
before he came to this country, Mineral
Point copper ore unioaded at the docks
in Swansea. Afterwards copper fur
mace was established up the hollow or
coulee beyond the old site of the Miner
al Point town hall and the ore was re-
duced close to the mine.
Now the copper mine is opening up
again, under the direction of Frank A.
Kennedy of Duluth, an able mining en-
gineer of successful experience in north
ern Wisconsin and Minnesota. A num-
Der of miners are at work on an old
shaft, and drilling is being done. 1t is
hoped that the parties who are promot-
ing this project will meet with success.
The way they are going at their work
promises a more effective effort than
ever before in the development of the
Mineral Point copper range.

From Thomas L. O'ReiIIy.

The following letter was received by
Rev. L. P. O'Reilly from his nephew
Thomas l.. O'Reilly, who is in Luxem-
burg:
II am in the best of health now and
have been ever since came across. at
the present we are resting among the
Luxemburgers and feel quite at home
among them, as they are quite hospita-
BILE. | guess you wondered why [ did
not write. Well since November II we
have been mostly on the move, and
stationery usually scarce and before
Nov. Il we mad rather hustling time.
The o6th division sailed from New
York and landed at South Hampton,
England, and were in rest camp about
week, from where we were transferred
to southern France and landed at Bor~
deaux, where we rested long enough to
get our equipment. A number of us
were shipped north and landed at Yer
dun when we were transferred to the
33d division that had seen much service
and was greatly depleted.
Our first service was among the re-
serves but later took our place in the
front lines, where we spent 35 days,
some Of the time in the thick of the
fight; and when the armistice was
signed were sgnding the Boche the best
we had and plenty of it. We were not
sorry when the end came. am how
ever glad it is over and glad that | was
in the fight and came through without
a scratch.
Our march from Verdun into Luxem
burg took 10 days. | think we marched
from 10 to Is miles each day. [ am
past guessing as they estimate distance
here by different measures.
We are not far from the border and
can see Fritz any time we want to. He
is pretty sore at us but blames the
kaiser for all his trouble. The winter
here is usually unsettled, raining almost
every day or damp and cloudy.
Tomorrow is Christmas day and we
certainly have to hang up our stockings.
There is a K. G.. contingent near our
section and they have lots of chocolate,
cigarettes and cigars and great num-
ber of chickens, some Of which ought to
find their way into our stockings.
By the time this reaches you, [ will
probably know whether | will be on my
way back or settled here for guard duty.
hope you are wei and not worrying
about me-"
