A II THE annual meeting of the
~ stockholders of the Hecla Mi
ming company in Spokane last
Tuesday James i. McCarthv.
president and general manager. told
of the recent strike on the Wide West
claim in the crosscut 500 feet below
the upper tunnel describing the vein
as y feet wide with a foot of good
ore. The crosscut is being continued
about $50 feet. as the mineralized
character of the ground adjacent to
the upper tunnel indicates the possi-
bility of additional important ore dis
closures. Upon completion of the
crosscut which will require about ten
days, attention will be turned to drift
ing upon the vein and upon the re-
suit of this work will depend the con-
structon of a mill for the treatment
of the Wide West ore. The present
Hecla mill at Gem is now utilized to
the limit and it is impractical to in
crease its capacity owing to the sup
ply of water available, which is no
more than sufficient to handle the
tailings under present conditions If
the exploration of the Wide West vein
justifies the construction of a mill,
Mr.. Mccarthy states that it will be
built near the portal of the tunnel
practically on the site of the old Tiger
mill The Wide West claim is one Of
the old Tiger Poorman group acquir-
ed by the Hecla in the settlement of
litigation with the Federal. Further
development of this ground which
promises important results is being
carried out by prosecuting from the
Hecla 1000 level which will explore
the ground east of the old Tiger
POorman workings.

STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting of unc 10 A. M- Tuesday, July "a

has brought up the point, writing that
he had sold to the government. Mr..
Hayford interpreted this to mean the
United States government rather
than the State government. This is
undoubtedly a case in which the man
who has. paid the tax cannot collect
it. Mr.. Hayford said that there Is no
doubt but that when these cases come
up, the retailers will be taken care
of by being reimbursed by the State.
In case where the distributors sell to
the government, they set forth this
fact in their returns and the tax Is
not collected.
Tax is collectable on gasoline sold
to the State. No exemption is made
even in the cases of the gasoline sold
to be used for running the State
highway trucks. This fact Mr.. Hay
ford pointed out in Letter to officials
at the Bangor State hospital who
asked for information on this Ques-
ton.
A sagoline seller at Cape Porpoise
in a letter to Mr.. Hayford repre-
scented that he considered it unjust
for users of gasoline motor boats to
be obliged to pay this tax. In regard
to this, Mr.. Hayford said yesterday
that most of the fishermen have au-
tomobiles which they use when they
are not using their boats. The OBJ
ject of the tax is to aid in the build
ing of good roads and in maintaining
them. The fishermen use the roads
in delivering their catch and, furth-
ermore, good roads mean more bust
ness for them for they bring the
pleasure seekers to the seashore 10
buy the fish products.

Cold Shoulder Served
Stranded Sailors Abroad

Havre, France. July 1-(By A. P)
-CnWary American seamen in large
numbers, who carelessly or ignor-
antly sign faulty articles of employ
ment on foreign vessels. are finding
themselves stranded here without
any hope of getting back nome. In
many cases jobless and penniless sail
ors have been arrested as vagabonds
and thrown into French jails and, ac-
cording to their stories, the same dan
ger threatens them in number of
other foreign ports.
There has lately been disposition,
the sailors say, among foreign steam
ship lines operating between Europe
and American ports to bring Amer
lean seamen to Europe and drop
them, either through false represen-
tation or misunderstanding on the
part of the men when signing the
articles. In some instances the men
are careless and sign in a casual
way, hardly knowing or caring what
they do. Some sign for port think
ing it means a round trip, and then
find themselves stranded on foreign
soil.
Finding they have no means to re-
turn to America. many of them ap-
peal to the American corsulates.
But nothing can be done for them eX-
cept in cases Of men holding seamen's
cards in the American Merchant Ma
rine.
The Y. NJ. G. A. at Havrs has
helped out number of men, but the
appeals have become so numerous
recently that the association has
reached the limit of it's funds for such
purposes

Resident Fishermen

The Department of Inland Fisher

attention to the residents Of the State
to the provisions of the new law re-
quiring resident citizens, 16 years Of
age and over, to be equipped with a

waters of the State.
Inasmuch as reports have come to
the department, from certain sec
tons, of claims Of resident fishermen
that they Did not know the law was
in effect yet" or "Knew nothing about
the law" has caused the department
to issue instructions to their ward
ems to give as niue hpublicity as pos
sible to the new resident fishing and

Would-be fishermen should re-
member that they must procure their
fishing licenses of their town clerk.
They cannot obtain one by sending

town, city or plantation except the
one in which they reside. Every
town, city and plantation clerk in
the State, has been equipped with a
generous supply Of the new cobmina-
ton licenses. and, SO far as the De-
partment Of Inland Fisheries and
Game Is concerned, 1t would appear
that no stone has been left unturned
in the way of calling to the atten-
ton Of the public the requirements Of
the new law.
The wardens have received. instruc-
tons to request every one who is
found fishing, or who has fishing
tackle in possession, in the fields and
forests, or on the waters of the State,
to exhibit their authority to fish,
which must be resident fishing
license, an alien resident fishing Ii
cense, or a nonresident fishing IL
cense. An alien resident-"Unnat-
uralized, foreign born resident"-is
not entitled to the 25 cent license. I'M
til such time as he has lived in Maine
two years continuously, prior to the
time he desires to fish, and is a real
estate tax payer in Maine for the
year he wishes to fish.

Ireland Grapples With
Unemployment Problems

Dublin, July II CA. P. by MaiD-
There are more than $4,000 persons
without work in the Irish Free State
for whom the government is strug-
Cling to find employment. The I'M
employment difficulty, and the liberia
ton of 10000 political prisoners still
interned. constitute Ireland's most
formidable problem.
1t is estimated that the Free State
army now consists of $4,000 men, and
before the end of the year the minis
ter of defense hopes to bring this fig
ure down to $4,000. The government
is puzzled to know what to do with
the 10000 soldiers when they are de-
modified. The problem is common
to all Europe where, through a dis
turbance of markets, tnerc are more
men than can be absorbed in indus
try. Fortunately, the Irish Free
State is in better position to absorb
these men than most other countries
would be. 1t starts off with the inn
portant fact that it is a creditor ma
ton. exporting in each year a great
deal more than it imports.
