diers gained the bluffs east of the
camp, but were met with wither-
ing fire from the coulees opposite,
making it impossible to plant the
small Hotchkiss cannon there. The
battle kept up until 8 o'clock, when
it became evident that the attack
on the camp must be prolonged in
to siege. Troops A and D of the
Seventh cavalry and company G
of the Fifth infantry, tried to cut
the Indians off from water, but the
attempt was foiled with heavy
loss, the writer, who commanded
the three companies, being put out
of the fight with a shot through
the lungs.
THE morning of October l
dawned on sad plight. Some of
the soldiers had died during the
night and many of the wounded
were suffering terribly. Fifty or
more wounded lay huddled toge-
ther in little hollow place. A
storm set in and four or five inches
of snow fell, adding to the torture
of the stricken. In the evening the
delayed baggage trains arrived and
tents were raised for the wounded.
In the morning the 12-pounder
was put into action. AS the sun
sank white flag was raised and
Joseph appeared. His clothes were
pierced with dozen bullets but
he was uninjured. He proposed
that he be permitted to march to-
ward Canada, his warriors armed
and mounted, but the proposal was
rejected. The siege continued until
the third of October, when Joseph
and Miles again met in council and
Joseph's proposal of a truce for
his warriors with all the honors of
war, they to retain their arms and
property, was again rejected. On
the morning of the fourth the gun
was moved and the second she'll
fired from it killed and wounded
a dozen Nez Perces. For the third
time Joseph raised the white flag
and this time it meant surrender

Chief Joseph Greatest Of Indian Generals Fought
Plains Against

Root mountains. Their men were
brave, their women virtuous and
their country had no superior in all
the valleys of the west.
OF this people, Joseph was a
worthy chieftain; strong, alert, in
telligent; albeit disdainful and
naughty at times. He was the idol
of his people. When he led them
out of the valley that had been
their home for generations, it was
not to give battle to the whites
but to find a new home for his
tribe, for they believed that they
had been treacherously dealt with
by the agents of the federal gov
eminent and wrongfully deprived
of the valley to which they were SC
strongly attached by history and
tradition.
The battles that occurred in this
march, which has become histori-
cally famous, were not of Joseph's
seeking; he had not crossed the
mountains to fight the whites, but
when it became necessary, he and
his warriors fought as Indians had
never fought before and never have
since.
Battle Of Big Hole
Was Victory for Indians
General John Gibbon took the
field to turn Joseph and his people
back, and the first battle was
fought on the Big Hole river in
western Montana. Most of Glib.

TO BUILD 100000
kMlLL At NEIHART'
AMERICAN ZINC COMPANY WILL
HAVE ORR REDUCING PLANT
IN OPERATION m SPRING


Plans have been drawn and con-
tracts let for the construction by the
American Zinc company Of the new
mill at it, recently acquired silver
lead-copper property In the Neihart
district Of Montana. This new prop
erty, which r. owned by subsidiary
called the Silver Dyke Mining COM
pany. has exceeded by far earlier ex-
pectattons. says the Boston News
Bureau.
Acquired in the spring Of 1921 on
an option basis with . relatively
small cash payment, development
work to date has amounted to $500
feet OF openings, about 5000 feet Of
drilling and thousand feet or more
Of trenching. Az q result Of first
development operations over 100000
tons Of ore were put In sight: now
indications are that this total will
be exceeded by a large amount. and
no definite limitations Of the ore
have as yet been reached.
The new mill will have q capacity
of $50 tons Of ore q day. It will cost
about 100000 and should be in op-
Grafton early in 1928. Assay values
have shown the Silver Dyke ore to be
rich In spots in solver and copper,
some assays running as high as So
ounces of the white metal per ton.
The general grade will be about $40
per ton gross, which on current oper-
ating costs in the district and allow
ing for reasonable tailings loss
should return substantial profits to
American Zinc.
Including cost Of its new mill, the
American Zinc company's Silver Dyke
Investment will stand at about $780,
600. The American Zinc company is
lending it's subsidiary money with
which to equip and get into produc-
ton.
At a small new property in the
Mtss0uri-O Oklahoma district acquired
BY the American Zinc company about
year ago results are most satisfac-
tory. Production is now averaging
$50 to 16O tons of so per cent zinc
concentrates weekly and earnings are
running at the rate of $4,000 to
$4,000 net a year.
Business in the zinc oxide depart
ment of the American Zinc company
is steadily expanding. Its product
has been favorably received in the
trade and arrangements are being
made to increase the capacity at its
older Hillsboro plant based on its
success at Columbus. This will give
the company furnace capacity of
from $1,000 to 10000 tons Of lead
free zinc oxide annually.
The only department of the zinc
company that is not showing expan-
sion is the smelling end. Operations
there are still at about 80 per cent
capacity. due to the shortage of la
Dor. This. too, is the crux of the
present zinc situation. Labor is dis
tinctly scarce and zinc men fear that
the trade position of the metal may
become tight" should the present
labor shortage continue.
This is true in the zinc industry
the world over. There is barely three
weeks supply of the metal known
to exist In the world today and in
this country surplus stocks are suf-
ficient for only two weeks consump-
ton. England has between 900. 900
and 100000 tons of so per cent zinc
concentrates on hand, but she is
holding this product, feeding only
enough to the smelters to keep them
going.

what virtually was a victory for
them. They compelled the white
men who had driven them from
their camp to take refuge behind
breastworks and then they follow
ed the whites, hemmed them in and
harassed them for ~ hours, only
desisting when scouts brought the
news of the approach of strong re-
Inducements for the soldiers.
The fight was one of the hottest
in the history of plains warfare,
and Joseph compelled the admira-
ton of Gibbon and his soldiers by
his fine generalship. With the ap-
proach of reinforcements for the
whites, Joseph took up his march
down the valley, numbered with his
wounded and with the women and
children, heading for the British
line.
The story of Joseph's march
across Montana is more remark
able than that of the battles he
fought. Viewed from a military
standpoint, this retreat was re-
markable as its course all the way
lay through an enemy's country,
and it was accomplished with less
annoyance to the people of the
state, than would have resulted
from a similar march by a hostile
white foe. AS long as he could,
Joseph paid for the horses and pro-
visions he secured. When he could
no longer do this, he took them, as
any commander would do. But no
brutality marked the course of the
Nez Perces in their retreat.
Joseph had almost reached the
! Canadian line when General Miles
overlook him near the Bear Paw
mountains, where the second fight
took place and where the Nez
Perces chief finally surrendered.
When he yielded to Miles he did SO
because of the suffering among the
women and children of the tribe,
who, deprived of the proper food
and exposed to the chill of winter,
were sick and dying. His surren-
der was complete. When he yield
ed it was with the promise that he
would fight no more, and this
promise he faithfully observed. In
his latter days, Joseph was not a
disturber; he remembered his
promise and he kept it. He kept it,
indeed, better than many paroled
white would have done; it was
lived up to in spirit as we'll as in
letter. Not only did he refrain
from making any trouble himself,
but his councils were always for
peace. He realized the hopeless
ness of a struggle with the whites
and he adopted the course that
seemed to him wisest.

PUNCHES DIsTURBER.
School Teacher Is Discharged b,
 Judge on Assault Charge. ~

New York, Sept. 6.-The sound ot walking on the roof over his head at night caused Fred Unkison, a school teacher of $50 Seventy-ninth street, Brooklyn, to investigate and the result was that he was arraigned in the Fifth Avenue court yesterday, before Magistrate Geisman on a charge of assault
 Harold Wolferman living next door, was the complainant, and after he had told his story, the magistrate freed Unkison, remarking: T wouldn't want my sleep disturbed either"
 Wolferman stated that he was exercising on the roof of his home and accidentally went over on Unki- sons roof The teacher, he said, jumped from behind a chimney and struck him in the face. Unkison s defense was that Wolferman insisted on walking over the roofs and that he couldn't sleep.
 I don't think he was exercising" commented the teacher.
 And I don't blame you" rejoined the magistrate.

PIGGY MIR. PORCUPINE.

Finding himself near Fresh Pond on a certain sutry summers day, Jimmy Rabbit went down to the waters edge to get a drink. An old log lay with one end touching the shore and the other reaching out to a cluster of lily pads. Jimmy Rab- bit hoped out on the log, sniffed the fragrance of the pond lilies, and then bent his head down to enjoy a drink
 My, That's good" Jimmy mur- mured happily as he drew himself hack from the water and sat on the end of the log. A queer snarl made him look around quickly. He saw an odd figure that gave him a great start. Creeping along the log towards him was MT Porcupine.
 e. good evening" Jimmy stam- mered. Why don't you take your drink right where you are? This log is slippery. It would be pity if you fell off and got a ducking."
 Mr Porcupine didn't stop.
 T don't want a drink" he growled. T want my supper"

 A frock in the same style without the ruffles will do very well for play days and will probably be made of wool crepe which is light as well as warm. Shocking and cross-stitching continue to be the most popular of trimmings for children's dress and may be--usua!ly are-of the most brilliant colors.
