 Colonel Rollet, commanding off cer at Sidi-bel-Abbes made no pre- tense at hiding his opposition to Doty's release.
 Had We been the fire and blood eaters that some of the people in your country picture us as being, you should have been executed in Syria within "A hours after your de- sertion in the face Of the enemy" he told Doty. Then he queried, T should like to know what would happen to an American soldier whc would desert on the Rio Grande if you were at war with Mexico and the Mexican troops across the river?'
 Created in 1881.
 The French Foreign Legion was created in 1881 for the purpose, the decree said, of utilizing the services of foreigners desirous of placing themselves in the service of France.
 It was during the World War however, that the Legion covered itself with glory and suffered the most tremendous losses of any of the units engaged on the allied or any other front. Paul Ayres Rockwell and his brother kiffin, both of North Carolina, were the first Americans 10 enlist in the Foreign Legion when war was declared in 1914.
 The Legion numbering three regi- ments, was in every offensive of any importance throughout the war. In the Champagne drive Of 1915, the first regiment was practically wiped out and the Legion was condensed into two regiments. But thousands of foreigners offered their services to France and four new regiments were formed-one of them compos- cd entirely of Italian volunteers.
 Noted American Heroes.
 Tn one squad of the second regi- mem alone these Americans were serving at the beginning of 1915; kiflin and Paul Rockwell: Alan See ger, the American writer; Ferdinand Capdeviclle, New York; Dennis DoWd, Brooklyn: William Thaw, Pittsburgh; Stewart Carstairs, Phila- deIphia and Frederick Finn, Battle Creek, Mich. They were the tallest men in the battalion. Kiffin Rock woll, Capdevielle, Dowd and Seeger all lost their lives.
 Victor Chapman, the aviator; Henry Weston FarnsWorth, Dedham, Mass; Jim Mcconnell; Russell Kelly New York; Raoul Lufbery, Walling- ford, Conn, the "ace of aces;' Paul Madison, Conn; Rene Pheli2ot, Chicago, and many other Americans who enlisted in the For eign Legion saw it through to the bitter end and gave their lives for the cause they had chosen to defend.

ROWLAND GROUP
 PATENT OBTAINED

Patent proceedings involving the Hovland Group of five claims on Fish Creek were completed this week with the filing of the patent in the local Recorders office by the Mountainview Gold Mining Co.,, the present owner.
 The Hovland patent is the third obtained for mining ground in this district so far, although proceedings involv- ing the Virginia group, Last Shot group, and other proper ties are pending and patents are expected to issue at any time. The only patents previ- ously obtained locally cover two claims of the American Mining and Milling Co.,, hold ings on Fish Creek. In accord ance with the act of March 12, 1914, the Hovland group patent reserves to the United States right of way for the construction of railroads, tele- graph and telephone lines across the property.
 In the parlance of the street, the Mountainview is now sit ting pretty" with it's holdings patented and entirely free of incumbrances, splendid water power and tramway facilities installed its finances in good shape to carry on and it's ore reserves developed to the de- gree that there appears no doubt of it's future as a profit able mine.

OPENING MORE ORE
 AT RIVERSIDE

With the completion of the 95-foot upraise between the third and fourth levels last week, activities at the River side mine are now directed to extending both levels with a view to further exploring the downward extensions of the large ore body located several months ago in the No. 4 tun, nel. Both tunnels are in ore and will be extended easterly as far as may be necessary to determine the width of the zone. There is six foot face of good grade milling ore with a vein of high grade along the foot wall in the up- per tunnel and 8 vein of good milling grade ore about IS inches wide was located in the No. 8 level some time ago. This was widening rapidly when work was discontinued on that level several weeks ago pending the completion of the No. ' uDraise.
 Officials are sanguine that the vein will ultimately prove to be part of the vein found in the upper level.

TRAIL SHELTER
 RETURN ON LEAD TO GIVE LARGER

Increased returns on lead ores which will be of consider able benefit to shippers is promised by the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Co.,, own CT of the Trail smelter, accord ing to announcements last week by the Vancouver press as follows:
 "Lead producers of British Columbia will be largely bene- fitted by a revised lead treat ment schedule being issued by the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company. Lead con- tent upon which the shipper will be paid is advanced from 90 per cent to 9212 per cent.
 Depending on grade this will make a difference in returns to the shipper on the ordinary lead concentrates of from $1 to $2 per ton. AS lead ore is the principal custom ore ship ped to the Trail smelter and is the base ore of the whole Root enay mining country, the new schedule means enhanced re- turns on almost every car of ore rolling to Trail.
 Mining men of the province welcome the new schedule as the equivalent of an advance in the price of the metal"
 As lead is a predominant ele- r ent in the ores of this dis tl.ict the indicated advance of 212 per cent will in most cases add considerably to the re- turns received from local shipments to Trail.

WHAT'S DOING
 ON SEBAKWE?

Local speculation is rife over widely varying reports of the results of recent development operations on the Sebakwe properties. Some reports indi- cate that the ore body recently encountered in No. 1 tunnel is of unusual extent and carries high values, while others aver that only nominal values have been found, although the ore body is declared to be of large extent. The latter reports, however, are in accord with statements by the manage ment.
 A cablegram report on devel- opment progress given out by Sebakwe London office. De- cember 14, outlined the situat- ion at that time as follows:
 "Vein 40 it. wide, have cross cut 10 it. porphyry foot wall and drifted 25 it. on vein in a southerly direction. Average assay of ore in cross cut $3, drift $2.
 Last 10 fit. cross cut north wall average assay of ore $11, south wall $5. Continuing cross cut and drifting in each direction on vein. Rock is ex- ceedingly hard; commencing another drill"

PRESIDENT NAMES
 SUCCESSORS FOR
 SHOUT AND RTTCHIE

Successors for the present in cumbents of two Alaska fed eral offices have been nam ed by President Coolidge, in the persons of E, Coke Hill, of San Francisco, who is slated to succeed Elmer E. Ritchie as judge for the Third Division, and Justin w. Hardy, of Franklin, Ohio, who is schedul- ed to take over the duties of U. s. District Attorney for the First Division, vice Arthur c. Shoup, present holder of the office. Press reports announce that the nominations were sent to the Senate by Presi- dent Coolidge January 21.
 Although at present residing in San Francisco, E. Coke Hill is in no sense an outsider" having lived in Alaska from 1900 to 1925. During the earlier years of his residence in the Territory Mr. Hill was assistant district attorney at Nome and later was connected with the district attorneys of- flee at Fairbanks. After sey- eral years in the latter position he was appointed United States Commissioner at Ruby. Excellent legal attainmcnts and a thorough knowledge of Alaska conditions combine to make MT. Hill exceedingly well fitted to fill the position for which he has been named.
 MT. Hardy, who will probab- ly succeed MT. Shoup, in this division, is reported to have visited Alaska as a sightseer a year or two ago but has never resided in the Territory. He is said to be a practicing attorney in his home city.
 Both appointments confirm earlier Washington announce ments to the effect that Presi- Coolidge to avoid further fact ional rows such as recently dis graced the Territory, would probably select persons resid- ing outside of Alaska to fill federal offices.
