NO PAPER FAMINE IN FINLAND

With America suffering from an acute white paper famine, American printers and publishers will be inter- ested in the present condition of the Finnish paper industry.
 According to reports from Ameri- can Red Cross workers in that field 46,000 metric tons of paper were ex- ported from Finland in 1919, this des- pite the fact that export trade was impossible for eight months of that year, owing to shipping restrictions effective in Europe. The total ex- port of paper mill products in 1919 was 200,451 metric tons, which includ- ed wood pulp, cellulose and cardboard in addition to white paper.
 Virtually off of this export of paper was supplied to fifty of the largest periodicals in England, new market exploited by the Films after tn break ing up of the Russian market, where the output had previously been sold.
 In view of the generally demoraliz- ed industrial situation in the Baltic States, the progress of the Finnish paper industry, today in a process of redevelopment, is astonishing to the American relief workers stationed in that part of Europe.

Romance Of the C0mstOck;
 DiscOUerer's GruUeis Found

Comstock lode, Story county, Nevada. Died at Bozeman, September 7, 1870, aged 50 years"
 The old photograph, although over nineteen years old, is remarkably clear, and as far as known is the only one in existence, showing the burial place of the man whose name is world wide known through the greatest of all mining camps, but who himself died in a strange land, practically penniless and friendless.
 MT. Francis stated that the man who buried Henry Comstock, was known as Joe Lindley, grand army veteran, and the latter told of the day that Comstock arrived at Bozeman, Montana, from Virginia City, with two burros and prospector's outfit. He complained of not having been treated well at his former stopping place, and was in Respondent mood, apparently having been drinking heavily. Soon after his arrival, it is related by the old timers, he went to vacant lot and ended his life by shooting.
 The information imparted by Mr. Francis as to the last days of Henry Comstock and his burial place is par ticularly interesting at this time, with vast mining revival now being pro- jected and rapidly developed at the south end of the Comstock lode, and part of which is upon the identical ground located by Henry Comstock and associates in the spring of 1859. Much information regarding Henry Comstock and his career was gathered some years ago by the state librarian of Montana, according to MT. Fran cis, and is now filed away at the iib- rary at Helena. If it is possible cop ies will be made of the photograph of Comstock's grave, to be presented to the Nevada Histprical society.

COPPER HILL MINERS
 VOTE TO END STRIKE

Difficulties existing between the management and the miners of the Arizona Commercial Mining company were ended at mass meeting of the employees held in Globe yesterday aft elnoon when the men voted to return to work. The trouble, which was not a strike, but a protest on the part of the men against the discharge of a shift boss, had it's inception Saturday when a majority of the men rendered their resignations.
 The settlement of the dispute was assisted materially by the efforts of Joseph Lord, federal mediator, ar rived in the district Wednesday even ing. MT. Lord attended the meeting held yesterday and discussed their grievances with the men.
 Under the terms of an agreement affected by committee of five, rep resenting the mines and the manage ment, the vacationing employees have until the first of the following month to apply for their positions. The ma jority of the men, it was stated this morning, however, have already re- turned to work.-Evening Bulletin.

measurements are made by means Of

the pump IL screwed TO q 8-foot plank
and attached TO the hose by union
coupling. In making measurements
the plank IL placed across the top Of

the tank until It is near the supposed
sludge level. The hose u then low

top is then noted, and as the distance
from top of chimney to bottom Of

estimate the depth Of the sludge.

CELEBRATE lNGERSOLL
WATCH ANNIVERSARY

Simpson and Wright, this week.
are carrying a notable window dis
play in celebration of the twenty
fifth anniversary of the founding
of the Ingersoll watch factory.
The display is built up around
the book by Harvey c. Brearley,
and published by Doubleday Page &
Company of New York, entitled
Thine Telling Through the Ages"
This book traces the art of time tell
ing through the ages from the stone
age when the cave man dated up"
his lady friend by means of shadow
cast by pinnacle of rock. By
means of text and beautiful illus
trations, it traces the progress of
time telling down through the ages
showing the water clock. the hour
glass, the sun dial and the dis
covery of the pendulum by Gallileo,
which made clocks possible. 1t; gives
pictures of rare watches of the mid
die ages taken from the originals
in the Metropolitan Galleries of New
York.
Coming down to- modern times,
it tells of Eli Terry, the first Am
erican clock maker. who peddled his
wares among the Yankees of Conn
ecticut. Also of the founder of the
Waltham factory who was asked
when he had reached the quantity
production of seven watches per day,
where he was going to sell them all.
The book finally comes down to the
Ingersoll factory with its production
of twenty thousand watches per day.
The volume is to be presented by
Simpson and Wright to the Juneau
Public Library.
A great display of watches made
by the Ingersoll people is one
of the window features.
