ABANDONED SILVER MINES
 ARE NOW BEING RELOCATED
HELENA, MONT, Feb, A.

HELENA, MONT, Feb, A.
 The haste with which silver miners abandoned their claims after the d2- monitization of silver in 1873 was amazingly illustrated by the reloca- ton, by Helena men, recently, of 2 mme that promises to be rich and that though worked during period of Scy- oral years, never was patented.
 More than that, it seems not to have been visited since abandoned. The rclccators found old shovels, with the wood almost eaten away, just where they had been dropped
 There is no means now for deter mining to whom the mine which i, situated some miles from the city, iH a well-known district, once belonged. Ore abandoned in the shaft is declared to have assayed so rich that a comp any to work the claim was formed at once.
 The demonstration of silvet pro- bably reduced in a day rich mine to a failure. With silver at the present price, the ore discovered will pay very well, it is said, and may means for. tune.

Congress Is to Give Us Pretty New Coins

The United States has never been
strong for new coins. In 1892 congress
authorized the following coins for cir
culation: the eagle ($10), half eagle
($5), quarter eagle ($2.50), the dollar,
the "disme" Gold spelling for dime),
half disme Is cents), the cent and the
half cent.
Double eagles came into being In
1S49, the year of the gold rush to CAL
ifornia. In 1851 a new coin, the Scent
piece, three-quarter silver AMI me-
Quarter copper, was introduced, and
two years later the ~three-dollar gold
piece came into being. In 1857 the
half cent was dropped, but another
piece, the two-cent coin, was minted
In 1864.
The nickel came into being In 1855
Congress in 1876 overllauled the entire
coinage system and decided upon the
following coins: all the gold coins
as they now stand, dollar, half dol.
lar, quarter and dime in silver and the
minor coins, including the five, three
and one-cent pieces. Since that time
the. three-cent piece has been dis.
carded.

Congress Passes a Most Surprising Bill

That the Secretary of the Treasury
is authorized to permit said post and
the Sedgwick Post Women's Relief
Corps, No. 50, to continue to occupy
the second floor of said building until
such time as said post dissolves; such
occupancy to be without charge for
rent, water, heat, or light, which are
to be included in such free use.
And that a suitable bronze tablet
commemorative of this gift shall be
furnished and placed on the exterior
of said building at the expense Of the
United States.
In the house an eloquent little tribute
to the old soldiers by Mann of Illinois
was received with applause, and the
members decided to show that the vote
was unanimous.
In the senate 1t was pronounced q
wonderful bill-for the same reason
that had impressed the house. 1t was
passed by unanimous consent.
1t appears that the post is well-to-
do; that the property is valuable and
that the present rental from the
ground floor is considerable.
Once Sedgwick Post, No. 10, G. A
R., had about 500 members. Now its
membership has dwindled to rs. Soor
the post will have no more need fol
its hall. The last roll will be called
| with none to answer "Here."

u. S. Army Field Kitchens That Paid Duty

Z XCERPTS from the house debate
Il on the bill Oh. R. CITY on the
unanimous consent calendar of the
house to authorize the refund of duties
collected ON field kitchens imported
during during the year 1916:
Mr.. Britten: The kitchens cost
some $1,000 apiece. They were fur
nished to the National Guard and TAX
en- to the Mexican border at a time
when the war department had not
sufficient equipment to take care of
the troops. A duty was charged when
a rolling kitchen "a brought over
the line from Canada. This bill seeks
to refund the duty. 1t is a small item.
Mr.. Cannon: What is the difference
between donations Of dollars, dona-
lions of clothing, and the hundreds of
millions-I vas going to say billions
Of dollars that were donated by the
patriotic people? Now, here comes a
bill to establish a precedent to pay
back something to somebody who pa
triotically donated field kitchens, on
which you say they paid a duty when
the kitchens we're imported. If you
should carry out that same principle,
you would have 1t on all imported ar
ticles. l do not know how much is
involved In this
Britten: Probably a few hum
dred dollars.
Mr.. Cannon: A few hundred dol
lars! Many millions of dollars will be
involved in it if you enter upon this
policy.

DeSerter Lives
Long in Cave

wife and baby good-by he took to the
rugged hills.
There Amerine found a cave in
which he slept most of the time, ven
turing forth only at night and at times
during the day when there was little
chance of being seen. His only fare
was such scanty food as his wife could
get to him, herbs. and wild berries
gathered from the woods and fields,
and such wild game as he could catch.
The cave in which he lived Is said
to be large enough for only one per-
son, and could have been defended
against many. So closely did he watch
all approaches to his hiding place that
until a few days ago he had been
seen by no one except his wife and a
brother-in-law.
Military authorities had abandoned
the search for Amerine. Three weeks
ago an attorney friend of the family
became interested and implored the
wife to have her husband return and
give himself up. She st~eadfastly held
that her husband would be shot II
captured and refused to have him re-
turn.
Clarence Stone of Adelphi managed
to get word to the youth last week
that his was not a case of desertion,
and there was no danger of a firing
squad. Amerine cautiously left his
hiding place, and visited Stones home,
where they went over the situation.
He agreed to give himself up.
Amerine again went to Stones home.
His wife brought his uniform, which
she had preserved for him and had
neatly pressed for the occasion. With
Stone and an attorney, Amerine went
to Camp Sherman and surrendered to
the adjutant. He made no comment
except to express himself as being
well pleased that "it is all over"

Mr.. Britten: To say that a refund
of duties paid on rolling field kitchens,
which contributed to the army, would
be establishing a dangerous precedent,
Is beyond my comprehension. The
failure Of the house to pass this bill
will mean direct taxation on public
spirit, direct taxation on patriotism,
direct taxation on humanity. 1t is a
suggestion that the national treasury
itself should benefit in real hard mon-
ey, because the war department was
not in a position to provide the SIM
pie necessities Of an unimportant cam
paign.
Mr.. Cannon: There was a duty on
wool. God knows how the women
knit. God knows how they bought
and paid for the wool to knit. This
establishes a precedent that we ought
not to establish, and therefore I OBJ
ject to the consideration of the bill.
The Speaker: Objection is made,
The clerk will report the next bill.
