By E. H. HASBROUCK

A silver bell is ringing in the wild
erness. 1t is hidden away in the fast
ness OF the mountains in the Sea
roam district of Custer County, Ida
no. The bell is clamoring for notice
and sending its message in ever in
creasing wave lengths across the
mountain peaks and through the val
leys to the outside world where its
peals OF promise will soon be picked
up by the attenae suspended over
the golden boards of eastern capital
wing 1den in waiting To- Il sire
and profitable investment.
What is this bell and why is it
ringing and why must it make itself
heard7 1t is a gold silver and lead
prospect discovered in the early days
by old Unkle Ike DAILY in as roman
tic way as the Bunker Hill and Sui
Ivan in the Occur d Alene, where
the k-I~ea' &c burro, fghtiny flies.
paved up the earth uncovering the
bonan::.. Chkle Ike was a grca, hu,t
er as wei. as prospector and one NOR
ming went out to get some fresh meat
for the camp. He saw beautiful
buck across the canyon took careful
aim and fired but the buck ran away
he was so exasperated that he went
to see where the bullet hit and found
the leaddsplattered over a boulder
that proved to be high grade silver
lead ore.
The claim is called the Silver Bell
it is ringing with promise and viii
make itself heard for the reason that
the faith and perseverance of few
stockholders comprising the Burns
Mining & Milling Co. of Meridian,
Idaho have for the last 25 year been
assessing themselves and through
all the discouraging times pinched
and emptied their pockets to carry
on the development of the property
They have hammered and drilled
year after year when times were
hard and the outlook none to good
for this isolated district until at this
time the reward for all their logged
perseverance and hope seems about
to be realized. A few tons of the
high grade ore was shipped from the
Silver Bell in the early days Of the
camp whcn there were no ioaa. nd

For the benefit of the unmarried
girls we wish to call their attention
to the fact that 1896 is a leap year
and that the peculiar feature of this
leap year is that there will not be
another until 1904Eeight long years.
This is a condition that has not oc-
Cured since 1896 and will not occure
again until 2096. 1t happens once in
200 years.

HOPES FOR VERDICT
AGAINST MITCHELL
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker Says Re-
suit of Trial Would Then
Help Aviation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December IA circuit
Of the world or a journey of any
length requires travel on both land
and water. while aircraft can sue
coed alone, Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker,
famous American flying ace, declared
at meeting yesterday of the Ex-
ecutives' Club here.
In rs years aviation will be the
greatest industry In the world" he
said. THE airplane is the only means
or transportation that can succeed
without auxiliary agencies.
we must have a Government SUBJ
sidy. but l don't think the ordinary
subsidy plan, which would provide so
much to various independent manufac-
tuners in accordance with the amount
or their own investment, Is good.
That would drag aviation eventually
into politics I believe that the Gov
eminent should appropriate large
sums for the development of landings
and routes. just as 1t now appropri-
ates money for the maintenance of
our lake and ocean harbors."
The court.martial now trying Col.
William Mitchell came In for criticism
by the former ace. who stated that
the Mitchell trial had advanced the
cause of aviation 10 years in America
Il hope the verdict of the board will
be against Col Mitchell. and / rather
think he hopes so himself" Can't.
Rickenbacker said. II think at least

wave OF popular indignation and do

noon In conceding the superiority OF
an air force as a means of defense

kind Of attack. --t-.
Through It's chief, Maj Gen. Frank
w. Coo, the coast defense Branch ad-
mitted that 10000 anti-aircraft guns
could not protect the city of Wash
tngton from enemy aircraft, and TINS
statement materially strengthened the
defense claims. Gen. Coe. in fact,
volunteered the statement under
cross examination.
The Coast Artillery chief had been
called as prosecution witness in re
buttal to charges of the accused that
the anti-aircraft tests at Fort Tilden,
n. Y, and Camp Dix, y, j., accom-
plished nothing, and were "a waste OF
public funds" Gen. Coe denied this,
declaring that the tests We're for the
was obtained. He admitted, however,
that, although an attempt was made
10 simulate war conditions, in reality
this was not accomplished.
The now famous statement of Brig.
Gen. II. A. Drum. assistant chief of
staff, before the Lampert aircraft
committee last Winter, that with II
3-inch anti-aircraft guns he could
prevent any bomber" from doing
serious damage that came within
their range, was branded by Gen. Coe
as Indefinite and meaning moth

mind. however, that such a battery
could hold one bomber in check.
