RENEWING" MINING

For years the great East Hell ena shelter was operated un- der the current milling pract- ice of penalizing zinc ores as a metallic menace rather than an asset. The metallurgical world considered that zinc was a pest and teh zinc ores were drowned upon.
 Now, the improved process es, and the market demand for zinc, make the old slag dumps valuable. It is estimat- ed that the East Helena smelt- CT has 2,00O,0OO to 3,0OO,000 tons.of zinc slag on it's dump, that can be reworked with a profit.
 The old Congress mine in Arizona is said to have $8,- 00O,000 worth of low-grade ore on it's dumps, which once cost fortunes to throw away as waste, but that now can be concentrated at a profit.
 Mining is an enduring indust- rial enterprise. It is the farm er's good friend because of the markets it makes for his pro- duce.
 From Idaho to New Mexico, mining has been the basis of prosperity for every mountain state. It has been the great employing and taxpaying in- dustry and it deserves intelli- gent consideration at the hands of the public. Wallace Press Times Mining Review.

insidious assault from within. So great has been our security, so conscious our realization of power that the only apparent menace on the horizon of to- day is that we may rest too cas- fly, remain too much self-as sured in the face of those in- fluences which would honey comb our institutions. Even as we celebrate our liberty, our individual responsibility and our opportunity, we must re- member that vigilance is the price of their security.

LOCALITY AND FAME

The conviction of Edward Box that a man cannot be bur- jed in any locality, large or small, if he have the elements of greatness and achievement
 n him, should be of encour- agement to those who feel that their talents are wasted be- cause of an unappreciat- ative or depressing environ ment. Cream will rise to the surface anywhere" asserts Box, and an observation of the early life of successful men 5oes to confirm his statement. Abraham Lincoln in his boy hood split rails for a scanty
 lying, and Daniel Webster was brought up in a New Hampshire log cabin where hard work was the rule and money was seldom seen.
 Riches have proved a more formidable handicap to suc- cess than poverty. Opposition has been and still is the ma- terial upon which character feeds for it's development and growth. No Gopher Prairie is 9trong enough to down a man if he has the will power to forge ahead.
 The country boy has, if any, thing, the advantage of the city boy, because he has quiet and distance to give him a sane point of view. But the man who will succeed, will succeed anywhere. He has the choice of being engulfed by his circumstances or of tri- umphing over them.

fBy Dispatch a. I Wirel

CHICAGO, July 12.-Three times to-
day Robert B. Scott insisted upon
placing his life in Jeopardy and with
in an hour after acceptance of his
decision to throw himself upon the
mercy of the court he heard testimony
that his brother Russell T. Scott, ac-
tually committed the murder to which
he pleaded guilty. Arraigned for the
Staying of Joseph Maurer, 17year-old
drug clerk, killed April 2, 1924, when
the SCOTS robbed a downtown phar-
macy and for which Russell has been
sentenced to death, Robert nodded his
head when his attorney William Scott
Stewart said: 1--WE plead guilty, your
honor"
DESTROYS of leaving no loophole for
further court delay, the prosecutors
insisted that Judge William N. Gem
mill explain to Scott the possible
consequences of his plea, that the
minimum sentence was IA years i'm
prisonment, and the maximum, death.
"My attorney has explained that"
put in Scott
Judge Gemmill nevertheless ex-
pounded the law, and asked:
do you persist i'm your plea?'
II do, your honor replied Scott.

upon the court" said Judge Gemmill

Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, VINO
was on the scene, ordered the search
ing parties from the devastated area
when the veering wind turned the
flames toward the magazines as yet
unexploded and threatened blasts as
violent as those of Saturday. He also
directed that patrol lines be frightened
around the 7O-mile zone evacuated
yesterday when army, navy and ma
rine picket lines were established.
This brought new despair and bewll
derment to hundreds of refugees, who,
because of the quiet day, had hopes
of returning to their shattered homes
Parts of II bodies were found Ia
today's first exploration of the shell
torn naval reservation, bringing the
total number of known dead to 19.
The bodies and remains brought out
today were sent to the naval hospital
in Brooklyn, where an effort will be
made to identify them tomorrow.
Naval officers said that the bodies
were so badly mutilated that identifl
cation would be impossible until du-
plicate records containing finger
prints and dental charts arrived at the
hospital from Washington. These
charts are expected to reach Brook
lyn early tomorrow.
Identification of one body as that
of Private Morris Hardaker of the
marines and another as that of Harry
Christian Brown pharmacists mate
of No. Z, Market street Poughkeepsle'

dead to four. Mrs. Frances Feeney OF

MARINES DIED
FACING DANGER,
NOT FLEEING
lRy Dispatch 4. ?. wlrel

DOVER, N. j., July 1:.--Out of a
blast of tons. of z. N. r. that wrecked
buildings miles away, the record of the
marines emerged today without
blemish. Secretary Of the Navy Wilbur
coming out of the shell-ploughed
grounds of the naval arsenal at Lake
Denmark, N. j., with explosions of
shells in blasted magazines punctuat-
ing his sentences, today told the story
of how the marines died running into
danger instead of away fromit.
"The position of the body of every
man found, proved that he died re-
spending to the fire call that was
sounded when the lightning struck the
T. N. n. magazine Saturday" Secretary
Wilbur said. The position in which
their bodies were found indicated they
were going to the explosion to put out
the first and not seeking safety"
Two hundred marines from Quantico,
va, were doing guard duty at the
arsenal when the explosion occurred
The situation is still dangerous, Secre-
tary Wilbur said after his inspection.
"We are taking every precaution and
doing our best to keep people out OF
the danger zone. The present danger
lies in the fact that there are still IL
or IA magazines in which are stored
many 14-inch shells. These magazines
have not been damaged, but the wind
may veer to the opposition direction
and set fire to them"
Commenting on a report that Off
GERS of the arsenal had complained to
him of the conGltion of the ammunition
depot, Secretary Wilbur said:
THAT is untrue. / received no COM
plants of the arsenal being in dan
gerous condition. / know that every
precaution was taken to avoid such
disasters. The navy had the advice of
the best experts as to the conditions
here, as regards lightning and other
dangers"
During his inspection, Secretary Will
bur went into the danger zone sew
eral times, once penetrating the de-
vastated area to the point of entering
the arsenal.

lBu Disnatch A. p. Wirel

NEW YORK, July 12.-The crisis in
the subway strike was postponed for
"a hours today.
The marlborough Rapid Transit
company announced that strikers would
have until noon tomorrow to return to
work or be permanently removed from
the payroll. The zero hour" had been
set for noon today, but company Off
cials announced they had received re-
ports that men who wanted to return
to work were being intimidated by
strike pickets. They said that police
would be appealed to to prevent inti-
midation.
The principal development today in
the strike, which has now been in
progress for week, were counter
claims of impending victory by strike
leaders and company officials and re-
ports of the first serious sabotage
since the strike began.
Company officials said that 1873
strikers had returned to work and that
more were coming all the time. Strike
leaders placed defections from the
strikers ranks at handful, and an
nounced that recruits had been gained
from the signal tower men.
Police were told that two motormen
had been fired on while driving trains
early this morning and Investigations
We're begun. Strike headquarters de-
MED any knowledge of the attacks and
pointed to often repeated injunctions
from strike leaders that the strike
would be conducted in an orderly and
neaceful manner.

when 10-car express train of the
