SOLDIERS LAND BILL
EAVORABLY REPORTED
MEASURE OF GREAT MERIT FOR
THE BENEFIT OF WAR VET
ERANS.

OF special interest to ex-solders of
the great war Is house bill No. 4S7,
commonly known as the Mondell bill,
which provides for the reclamation of
agricultural land to permit the soldiers
10 acquire homesteads This bill has
lust been favorably reported to the
house, and while there has been active
opposition to the measure, there seems
to be no doubt that it will pass both
houses and receive the approval of
the president. Through the courtesy
of CONGRESSMAN Addison T. Smith, of
the second district, the Miner has re :
ceived copy of the bill which may be
examined by any one who is interested.
Mr.. Smith, as member Of the public
lands committee, has been an ardent
supporter Of the bill and will continue
to urge it's passage in the house. In a
letter accompanying the copy he says:
Great Benefit to Soldiers.
after more than two months con-
sideration by the committee ON public
lands of the house. of legislation to af-
ford an opportunity for the returning
soldiers to enter agricultural pursuits,
house bill 3S7 has been favorably re-
ported to the house of representatives
and is now on the calender awaiting
consideration. l am sending you I'M
der another cover a copy of the bill
and the report Of the committee, which
also embodies the views of four men,
bers in opposition to the measure.
1.-THE opposition to the proposed leg
islation is based largely on the ground
that it will attract farm labor from the
eastern states and will also increase
the food supply to such an extent as
to result in a reduction of the profits
of the farmers. Both of these reasons
are so selfish in their character that
l do not thing they will appeal to the
majority of the members of congress
"Other legislation is now pending
which will be beneficial to the soldiers
who may not care to go upon the
farms, but feel that the bill on which
the committee has agreed will be g
step in the right direction and will en-
able tens of thousands of young mer
to get farm home under conditions
which will enable them to make them
selves practically Independent in 6
few years."

The production of silver in 1913 was

crease in the output, for the mines

ing only about 60 per rent of their
normal shipments. number of the
big lead-silver mines were idle for sew
eral months.
Copper.
The output of copper in 1918 was
G,55S.SSS pounds, valued at $1,613.S70.
The Empire Copper company, at Mac
kay, the main producer, reduced ship
ments from about 1000 tons to 1000
tens in 1919 The National mine, near
Mullan, was shipping about 400 tons
OF copper concentrates a month, but
the Richmond, at Adam, was idle.
Lead.
In 1917 Idaho produced 1898. ,521
p unds of lead. In 1918 the total
output was 294,695, 993 pounds, which
may be cut in half for 1919 unless con-
ditions improve materially during the
later part of the year. The Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mine has maintain
ed good production, as have the Hecla
aud Gold Hunter; the Morning mine
has been operat ting on a reduced scale
and several of the lead mines are cur
failing production awaiting a better
market. Since the first of the year the
large failing pile at Sweeney is be-
ing treated in the old Federal mill now
owned by the Bunker Hill company.
Zinc.
The decrease in the production of
zinc has been greater. In 1917 the
mines of Idaho produced 1854, 1876
pounds of recoverable zinc and in 1918
only 45,161,712 pounds, With the In
terstate callahan idle part of the year
and the Success and Highland Surprise
closed there is every indication of a
much smaller output in 1919 Zinc
concentrates are being shipped from
the Morning mine of the Federal com
lpany, but the North Star property, II
Blaine County, is idle.

MINING IN IDAHO FOR
FIRST HALF OF YEAR
REPORT OF GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
SHOWS DECREASE AND
TELLS WHY.

During the first half of 1919 mining
in Idaho as in other western mining
states, was less active than it had been
for many years, according to- c. N.
Gerry, of the United States Geological
Survey. Department of the Interior.
This general decline was caused by the
drop in the prices Of metal and the
high cost of labor and material. Sew
eral of the larger producing mines,
such as the Hercules and the Tamarack
& Custer, were closed when the price
of lead dropped from IL cents pound
in 1918 to about cents pound III
April, 1919. When the price Of zinc
decreased from 81 cents to 6.49 cents
it was not profitable to market zinc
concentrates, and the Interstate GAIA
han. the largest zinc producer, was
closed in March.
Smelling.
AS the smelling plants had difficulty
in marketing their product they were
not operated at full capacity. AT the
Bunker Hill smelter only one lead fur
mace was in blast in March, and much
mig lead was in stock awaiting ship
r. emit The Northport lead plant, which
receives concentrates from the Hercu :
les and the Tamarack & Custer, was
closed in April, but the East Helent
nlant increased its shipments of bull
lion.
Gross Tonnage.
In 1918 the mines of Idaho shipped
500, 437 tons Of crude ore and concen-
trates, of which 417,155 tons came from
the Couer d'Alene district. In the fms'
six months of 1919 the mines OF this
region were shipping at the rate Of
only about 100000 tons year, or abou
60 per cent Of their normal rate II

YOUNG MEN REQUIRE
TECHNICAL TRAINING
LARGE CURTAllMENT OF PRO-
PRODUCTION NOTED FIRST
HALF OF YEAR.

M. l.. Requa in Sinclair's Magazine.
TO those young men who contemplate
a career in the petroleum. industry
or, for that matter, in the mining OF
any sort or in the diversity of indus
tries that have to do with engineering
in all it's multiplicity of forms
thorough technical education is today
of greater value than at any time in
the past. Tomorrow it will be still
more valuable, and it's value will in
crease as the years pass.
The reason is simple, if we but stop
to consider and analyze the events of
the last century A hundred years age
our mineral wealth was practically un :
touched the great West was an UNI
known wilderness the revolutionizing
inventions based upon steam and cleo
tricity were undreamed of. We were
in large part a pastoral and mercan-
tile people, unframed in the sciences
which now form so vital a factor IN
our daily life. The great fabricating
plants of all kinds that now dot the
landscape from Maine to California
were then unthought of; the family
spinning wheel supplied the wants now
cared for by the factory crammed with
intricate machinery. The home made
tallow dip afforded the light now sup
piled b electricity, gas and petroleum;
and the horse transported from place
t. place the freight we now move by
railroad and motor. The infinite and
complex activities founded upon power
have necessitated special knowledge,
and that knowledge is now in large
part being supplied by our colleges
and univerities through engineering
courses.
Must Know Record.
Science, after all, is but the record
of experiments, successful and unsuc-
cessful, which have been coordinated
catalogued, and filed away for future
reference 1t is the index, the record
of the activities of the practical mar
whose pioneer efforts in the field, the
factory, and the laboratory are made
available as a guide to posterity. Ant
because of the completely of modern
engineering in all.its branches, its con
stantly widening scope and groWins
literature 1t Is becoming more ant
more important that the young maj
upon the threshold of his career shall
be familiar with the past failures ant
successes: to the end that he shall no

Advantage Of College.

All industrial activities should be
constantly progressing. Inertia is ia
tai And he who would lead or be
near the head of the procession must
of necessity have technical education
as the foundation of his activities. He
may not acquire it in college; it may
come through the slow process Of years
Of practical experience, but it is none
the less necessary; and if four years
will serve to acquire the fundamental
knowledge that it would otherwise have
taken fifteen or twenty years to gather,
is it not the part of wisdom to adopt
the former course?
There are many young men who have
already started out in their work with
out having had the opportunity to Sc
cure the necessary technical fundation
| believe that those who can woult
do well to spend year or more at some
technical school, and with that ground
work build the balance of the structure

isfactory. And, given two boys equal
Is endowed, the one possessing the
technical education should not only far
more quickly complete his practical ap.
premiership. but he would after years
be more completely the master OF his
chosen subject.
What to Do and Why.
And, again, the reason Is not far to
seek: he has mastered not only the
theory but the practice of his business:
he knows not only what to do, but
ard what is perhaps equally important
why he does it. | know, of course,
that there are great men to have ris-
en- to premier rank in their professions
without college degree, but | think 1t
may safely be said of them that they
would have sooner arrived. and would
have saved themselves endless and
laborous effort. If they had in the first
place completed a technical course of
training. The information slowly gath
cred in fragments here and there over
the long years of practical apprentice
ship could be far better mastered in
four years of tensive training in college
where it is acquired in an orderly, CO.
ordinated, and complete way.
We must not fall into the error of
believing that college degree is n
certificate of ability. Far from it
The world is we'll supplied with men
possessing sheepskins whose services
would be dear at amy price Without
the requisite foundation of character,
all the diplomas on earth will fail to
make their possessor a man Of value.
Common sense, that greatest of all
fundamentals, is often notable by it's
absence among highly educated theor-
| list.
| We are basing our discussion broad
! ly some geology as well as civil and
not a technical education is desirable
for a young man about~to embark in
the oil bushes. In production, certain
ly, some peology as well as civil and
mechanical engineering is of value. In
transportation, mechanical engineer
ing is almost necessity: and in the
refinery a course in chemistry is a
prerequisite for any man who hopes
tC master the refining of petroleum in
all of it's branches and stand among
the leaders of modern refining prac-
tees. | believe, too, that a salesman
who knows something of the chemis-
try Of oils, and who has served appren
tjceship in a refinery, will, other things
being equal, lead the way rather than
follow the lead Of others.
