nearly IA per cent. Nearly all the
gold came from the Republic dis
trict, where the shipments Of ore were
comparatively few. From this dis
trict approximately 10000 tons of
siliceous ore was shipped during the
year, as compared with 1851 tons in
1919. The Last Chance mine, a large
producer in the past, was idle n

shipped from the San Poll mine.
The mine output of silver decreased
from 259,3S4 ounces in 1919 to about
$4,000 ounces in 1920. The value of
the output decreased from s290.51O

The ore was treated by concentration

The mine output of lead increased

Several hundred tons of zinc ore

ore has been made since 1917, when
the Last Chance mine was operated.
The only dividend paid by a metal
mine in Washington during the eleven

President-Elect Harding has given
up his senate seat. Mr.. Harding
finds that he has a real job on hand

somewhere near satisfying the multi

country-from the democrats. Now

who wanted to save the country now

The Legion has been instrumental in obtaining work for veterans, in discouraging the migration of unemployed men to ward the great industrial centers and has encouraged a movement from cit ies to the farms.

 But our family have been doing this work for years and years and years," said Uncle Charlie.
 ''The art of carrying messages has been handed down from grandfathers and grandmothers to fathers and mothers and so on.
 "One of our relations carried forty thousand messages in one trip. And each message was about twenty words in length.
 Some of these messages were sent by means of tiny photographs, so tiny that they had to be read with the aid of a miscrOscOpe or glass to make them look full-sized and so they could be seen easily.
 And our relative carried these little photographed messages. It was very wonderful.
