 The agitation for steamship lines to Alaska. while dictated by a natural desire in Portland and iSan effect closer transportation relations with the Territory must appeal to- persons acquainted with conditions economically absurd. At time when Alaska was growing in population, with minug properties being opened up and prospecting going forward big scale, efforts to cisco failed. These cities simply not in position to compete successfully for the Alaska trade They could get better and frequent service through Seattle and Seattle lines than they could through lines running direct to Northern ports.
 Conditions in Alaska have changed if anything, for the There certainly is no more business now than formerly. If Portland and San Francisco steamship companies could not succeed previously, they certainly cannot be operated at profit now.
 If the Southern cities desire to render establish ment of direct steamship service possible, let them work for the upbuding of the Territory by striking from its limbs the shackes of red tape that hold it helpless That what Seattle has done consistently and still is doing. kF
 If Aaskas business be doubled or trebed- land there why it should not be increased five tenold-there will sufficient trade justify new steamship experiments. They might not succeed, even then; but at least they would have chance to succeed.
 There is enough of potential wealth in the North land to give every port the Pacific Coast cession of business-enough to support hundreds of thousands of hustng Alaska residents in comfort and in luxury. The primary need is the opening up the Territory that this wealth may attract settlers encourage capital and develop industries

Radical Reverses.
(Boston News Bureau)


 The settlement the British coal strike. after a deadlock of s9 costly days illustrates in part the British capacity for finally attaining workable com promise to compose apparently unadjustabe differ ences Also it illustrates world wide tendency to- ward the failure of extreme radcalism to achieve it's ends
 The compromise aspect with it's reintroduction of the $5o,OOO,Oo0 government subsidy to soften the wage transition and its introduction of profit sharing scheme between wages and dividends, comes economic relief to country that has suffered estimated total loss of well $2000, 0OO,O0O in the damage to the industry itself and to the trade of the nation. Resumption of mining is. directly and indirectly, vital factor in maintenance of Dritans commerce which itself is more than ever an Indispensable resource in these afterwar times.
 In the long run however, the social political phase also presents deep if indirect significance Apparently the controlling elements in the miners federation the standard bearers of radical action in England Twice they sought strenuousy to en- broil the rest of the millions of organized British labor in their fight and twice they unsuccessful when things came to crisis.
 Had their campaign succeeded the economic havoc would have been hard to measure. Now they are forced by their ultimate exhaustion, and by a palpable lack of sympathy and support, to abandon the fantastic aim of "nationalization' which they swore they would surrender This dream of a triumph of "class struggle along the Marxian line in which the taxpayer should carry the pette worker his back-fades away.
 The collapse this social economic hersey is em- phasized by other symptoms the world around Thus in England it comes upon the heels of the textile wage settlement, is accurately accepted there one many signs of clearing industrial situation in that industrial nation.
 Likewise it at the time that in Am erica both the Federation of Labor and the Socialist Party frown those who would hitch these ganization chariots to the Communist yoke Like wise in Russia even Trotzky himself is currently quoted admitting that the worlds bourgeoise have failed take fright at communism and that for at least a time capitalism will seem to gain rather than to lose
 East and West the world is getting impatient of radical ranters.

CHANGE FISCAL YEAR

The U. 8. Senate has passed the bill changing the fiscal year within which assessment work may be done from January to July. If the act meets with the favor of the house assess ment work on mining claims can be done between the dates of July and the following June 30. This change has long been asked for by the pros pectors and mine owners, as it will make the end of the year in fair weather. In many of the mountain states snows cover the country to such an extent from October to January that 1t is practically impossible to get in there to complete the annual as- sessment work ,and as miners usually put off this work to the end of the year it entails hardship on the mine owner.

EX-SERV|CE MEN
 FILE YOUR CLAIMS
 FOR CONVERSATION

Two and one half years ago, the armistice, ending the great world war, was signed.
 Since that date over 600,000 ex-ser- vice persons, have filed their claims for compensation for disabilities in- cured or aggravated by service. In a report just received from the Direc- tor of the Bureau of War Risk insur- ance at Washington, D. c. figures show, what a tremendous task has been before the Bureau to cope with the ever increasing work, as yet the peak has not been reached.
 To June 30th, 1920 close on 5OO,00O claims were filed. During the month of June alone, 19,0OO claims were acted upon, 15,OO0 being allowed and 4,000 disallowed. The monthly pay ments for compensation during the fiscal year amounted to 9 million dol lars month. Over 5000 claims were awarded total permanent disability. the average monthly payment being $1O2.O0 per month.
 Yet there are many, who incurred disabilities, or whose disabilities were aggravated, who have not filed their claim for compensation, and to which they are justly entitled. Many are under the impression, that because they have not kept up their War Term Insurance, which they carried during the service, they would not be entitled to compensation. That is not so, for insurance is something what you pay for, and compensation is something the Government gives to the disabled men.
 The Director of the Bureau desires that all ex-service persons, who have incurred disability or whose disaibil- ity was aggravated, file their claims at the earliest. Then there are oth- CTS, who have filed their claims, but who are not receiving their compen- sation for some reason or other.
 To quickly adjust all pending claims, write to the Local Represen- tative of the Bureau of War Risk In- surance at 403 Heard Building, Phoenix, Arizona, and forms and other information will be gladly furnished.

LOOKS BETTER FOR
 THE McFADDEN BILL

We'll informed people say that the McFadden bill now has an excellent chance to be enacted. There are powerful interests arrayed against it, including the jewellers of the country upon whom the chief burden of the bill would rest. It is also believed that the bankers are inimical, though why they should be is not explained, as 1t would seem to be to their inter- ests preserve the integrity of the paper money issues by stores of gold. One feature in favor of the passage of the bill is the fact that ownership in gold properties is not confined by any means to gold states, but the holders of the securities are nation wide. It would seem that senators and representatives from non-produc- ing states should be actuated in favor of the bill.-Manhattan Magnet.

OLD TIMER TELLS OF EARLY
 HISTORY OF THE CEDAR COUNTRY

This week J. J. Jerome, one of the best known of the old time mining engineers of this county, furnishes us with story of the early days of the Cedar country, especially relating to the discovery of the Arnold lode, the main vein of the Cedar country. This lode, says MT. Jerome, was discovered in 1878 by w. F. Arnold and J. B. Magendie, one claim being named the Arnold and the Magendie claim the General Lee. Other miners and pros pectors immediately thereafter went in and located the vein for a length of nearly three miles. A district was formed and recorder selected.
 The most prominent claim on the lode was the Silver Queen, which for many years was intensively operated, large tonnage going out to the smell ters of England and later to the mills. An arastra was operated for a time and five stamp iron frame mill was put in. This mill was operated suc- CcSSlully 1OI c year UT IWo uHIll Iiie ores became too base for ready anal gamation. The bullion from the mill and arastra usually ran over 900 fine
 the ores running about one ounce gold to every 100 ounces silver. The ores shipped to smelter had to be packed to the old Planet road, thence by mule team to the Colorado river at Aubrey
 whence it was taken by river boat to Port Isabel, Sonora, for shipment by coast-wise steamers to San Francisco and by way of Cape Horn to Swansea
 Wales. While this was a most ex- pensive trip for the ores and took many months for returns the ores o1 the Cedar country returned large sums to the miners. The average cost o1 transportation was $100 per ton. IT 1876 the Arnold was sold for the sum of $11,O00. The new owners con- tinued work on the mines and pro- duced a considerable amount of high grade ore. From 1878, the date of discovery, to 1893, when silver took such a decided slump, the Arnold mine produced $117,000, the ores coming from shallow workings, the greatest

depth of the shaft being 100 feet. Later the Silver Queen mine passed to new owners and a shaft sunk to a depth of 40 feet, a whim having been placed on the property to expedite the work. A small mill with roaster was built for the handling of the ores from this property and under the di- rection of J. s. Curtiss and o. F. Kuencer produced considerable bull lion.
 In 1893 the owners of the Arnold mine purchased the General Lee property from J. B. Magendie, paying therefor $5O,000. The same parties also purchased the Hubbard and other locations.
 Roads were built into that section, more than $1OO,0O0 having been spent in that manner, although little was spent on the mines. After the taking over of the mines by the Baker broth CTS in 1894 good sized milling plant was erected on the mines, and other machinery was installed. While none of the machinery was used to advan- tage these plants are still on the property and available for use. At the present time I. M. George and as- sociates have the entire group of min es under option and have formed a two million dollar corporations to de- velop them. As the properties are among the best in the state, have been ] only scratched over, so far as ore ex- 1 traction is concerned, they are worth while properties. In fact so impor- tant are these properties that many engineers have reported favorably on them to their companies. Local peo- pie, who know the mines, and the man. agement, are investing in the new company and it is probable that inn portant development will soon be un- der way. The company is getting the road into the mines in shape for haul age of necessary supplies to the camp and the supervisors and county engi- neer are to do some needed work to put the roads in splendid shape. With in the next couple of months the prop. erty is expected to be going strong.

This week the U. s. Senate passed a bill giving Arizona another federal judge. For several years a bill has been before the congress having for its object the establishment of anoth- CT U. s. court circuit in Arizona, where the business has grown to such an extent that it takes the time of from two to three judges to transact it. Under the terms of the new bill another judge will be given to the state and Arizona divided into two judicial districts.
