METAL SHINGLES.


Mining and Scientific Pres)
Zinc or copper shingles. for roofing
houses or other buildings, have many
structible and require no protective
coating. Repairs are unnecessary and
maintenance costs are nil They are
now designed to meet the taste of
either the utilitarian or the aesthetic.
and are Oxidized at the plant to suit
the fancy of the most exacting. Being
of metal. the hazard of fire is avoided:
moreover. they are easy to lay. No
soldering is necessary. one nail per
single being all that is necessary. The
cost of the base metals is never likely
to be so low as it is at the present
time. Copper shingles are made of
what is known as 9-Ounce sheeting
and roofing of this material weighs
but 81 pounds per 100 square feet; the
cost is about twice that of wood. Zinc
is even cheaper shingles OF this metal

AN OUTLAW BUSINESS.
(Santpoint Review.)


Just as the old time salOonkeepel
made an end to the saloon, so now is
the bootlegger and whiskey runner
making an end to his business. There
is something about the liquor business
that invites cheating-cheating of the
individual, cheating of the laws both
OF the country and of trade
Not content with the fortunes that
are to be made by bringing real liquor
into the country and selling it at so
exorbitant price that fines can be
paid and automobiles destroyed and
still leave a big margin of profit for
those who do the whiskey running. the
liquor vendor is selling so much poison
that the individual who is willing to
take chance on the law" does not
dare take chance" on the fluid
that is sold him as bonded goods

Secretary MELONS plain talks to
congress about the soldier bonus bill

necessary funds cannot be derived

law now stands. the government is
bound to apply any principal payments

tirement of outstanding Liberty bonds

in respect TO this use of the proceeds

new legislation should seek to divert
such proceeds to the soldier bonus.

Another model was in readiness to
present which would have been highly
enlightening to the court with respect
to mining methods. Several witnesses
for plaintiffs had testified that it was
impossible to eliminate waste rock
from the star ore under ground owing
to the friable nature of the vein ma
terial and the large amount of waste
between the streaks of ore. and that
for this reason alone it couldn't be
profitably mined. In order to en-
tighten the court on that point and
show that it was perfectly practical
to sort out a large percentage of the
waste in the Star just as is done in
other mines of the district, John +.
Allen, foreman of the Hecla mine had
prepared a model showing in every de-
tail several floors above a level to illus
trate the method of breaking the ore.

ing it for filling the worked out ground
below, and depositing the ore in
chutes to be drawn off in cars The
system illustrated was that in practice

prepared to show that it was in every
respect adaptable to the condition in
the Star.
These are u few OF the features that
would have been presented by Hecla
and Bunker Hill. and it is a matter of
great regret that the opposition aban-

PROTECT THE GAME.
lKooskia MountaineerO

(Kooskia Mountaineer)
1t is much to be regretted that the
Idaho state Wool Growers at their
convention in Boise few days ago
found it expedient to pass a resolution
designed to bring about the abolition
of the State Fish and Game bureau.
The game resources of Idaho are very
great and among the chief assets of
the state. This asset should be safe
guarded and to his end deserves rec
ognition to the extent of protection by
state authority. Conditions affecting
game in different localities are so di-
verse that TO entrust the duty Of caring
for and perpetuating the game supply

seems to be the purpose Of the sheep
growers. would result in no protec-
ton.

BONUS DILEMMA
CWollman Review.)


, According to recent advices from
Washington, administration and legis-
lative leaders are at last thoroughly
committed to the passage of the SOL
diers bonus bill. Although the details
of this measure have not vet been
threshed out it seems to be a foregone
conclusion that the total apprOpria-
tions for this purpose will approximate
$4,000, 900. 900. This is another evidence
of the manner in which politicians re-
spond to pressure brought by powerful
and organized groups. The sober SEN
timent of the country is against this
bonus legislation Public opinion is
strongly in favor of having every
thing possible done for the relief of
the disabled soldiers.
There is strong conviction, how
ever, that the levying of the vast sum
required will work an injury to the
economic structure of the country that
would not have cOmpensating benefits
in the distribution to all those who
served in the European war. It is
doubtful if the recipients of the bonus
will find the sums they receive a suffi-
cient offset against the business and
Industrial depression which is likely
to result from the laying of such
vast burden on the country OF course
here are numerous suggestions for
'aising the money but in the end it

NEW THEORY REGARDING oEPo-
slTloN OF ORES.

One Of the notable features Of the
recent meeting Of the Society OF Eco
monte Biologists at Amherst was the
general agreement to the effect that
much if not all of the rich silver sui
phide (sulpharsenide or sulphantimon-
ide) ores are Of primary origin-that
is, deposited by ascending waters,
which are generally believed to be of
magmatic or igneous origin. For a
long time it has been the fashion to
believe that these rich silver ores were
necessarily Of secondary origin, due to
concentration from leaner form,
through the agency of descending sur
face waters-were. in short due to
secondary. enrichment" quite as so
many copper ores. especially rich sui
phides like chalcocite, are actually so
formed. says the Engineering and Min
ing Journal
The pendulum Of enthusiasm over
secondary enrichment is swinging back
to the logical and normal Most mark

least marked perhaps in ores like those

likely that it is misleading even to use
the term in connection with ores OF

Therefore the same rich copper sui

hat the same is true of the rich silver

he case of silver, the rich ores of pri-

Iuantitatively more important, which,

SECRETARY MELLON SOUND ON

II is altogether disappointing that
the great organization that represents
the soldiers of the world war should
stand sponsor for the proposed bonus
bill that is soon to make its appear
ance in congress; not only sponsoring
the measure but actually placing the
organization in a position comparable
with that of the Big -Four railroad

Lincoln s Gettysburg Address

"OURSCORE and seven years ago

continent a new nation, con-
ceived in liberty and dedicated

created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war. testing whether that nation, or

on a great battlefield of that war. We
have come to dedicate a portion OF
that field as a final resting place for
those who here gave their lives that
the nation might live. 1t is altogether
fitting and proper that we should do
this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot
dedicate, we cannot cOnsecrate, we
cannot hallow this ground. The brave
men. living and dead. who struggled
here have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note. nor long remem-
Der, what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. 1t is for us,

to the unfinished work which they
who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. 1t is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task re-
naming before MS; that from these
honored dead we take increased devO-
ton to the cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion; that
we here highly resolve that these dead

birth of freedom. and that government

driven for a distance of 1900 feet will

the result would not have been con-
nned to stopping this important en-
terprise. II would also have included
the abandonment Tor an indefinite
period at least the erection OF a zinc
reduction plant by the Bunker Hin K
sullivan company at Kellogg, an en-
terprise that will directly accomplish
more toward the development of the
mineral resources OF the district than
any one thing that has heretofore been
undertaken The initial plant is de
signed for the treatment of ore from
the Star mine, and if the decision of
the court had been adverse to the
Bunker Hill and Hecla, the district
would have lost the benefit that will
follow the development of the Star and
the even greater benefit that will come
from the establishment of the zinc
