PREMIER OPERATIONS LITTLE HINDERED
 BY BIG FIRE

minuation in the normal activi- ties of the camp as a result of the big fire which destroyed a majority of the most import ant buildings last week. Aside from the loss of a few hours time when the mine crew was called out to combat the conflagration, mine production has continued as usual and is even said to have shown a con. siderable increase.
 Additional details of the big fire disclose that the blaze apparently originated in the garbage incinerator, situated in the basement of the mess house, which is believed to have exploded, probably from gases collecting within the de- vice. Eyewitnesses of the con- flagration are unanimous Tn praising the splendid efforts of the mine crew in combat ing the raging flames. Handi- capped by the scanty water supply, the crew worked with heroic spirit, employing every means available to check the rushing fire demon. Reports from all sources agree that the destruction of the mill, compressor plant, machine shop and tram head was avert ed by the battle put up by the men against overwhelming odds to keep the flames from attacking the small bunkhouse. Had this building caught fire, the destruction of the remain ing mine buildings could hard ly have been averted, accord ing to all accounts.
 Dynamite is said to have been placed in the threatened structure in the hope of pre- venting the flames reaching the mill and adjacent buildings. The explosive was not needed, however, thanks to the cour- ageous efforts of members of the crew. With the large bunk house, less than a score of pac- es away, a raging inferno of smoke and flame, the men, using wet mattresses as shelter, edged their way between the buildings, burrowed into the snow and directed the avail able streams of water onto the threatened structure until the walls of the big bunkhouse fell in and the danger was ov- CT. Some of the men are said to have remained under their improvised shelters until the mattresses burst into flame.
 During the height of the con- Migration the heat became so intense that the general man. ager's residence, the apart ment house and other build- ings situated a considerable distance away, were scorched and barely escaped being in- volved in the general destruct- ion.
 In addition to the heavy loss sustained by the company, the losses of the workers will run into thousands of dollars. A considerable number of the oc- cupants of the big bunkhouse are said to have last sums of money ranging from a few dol lars to five or six hundred, in addition to other valuable eff fleets, and many are reported to have lost substantial sums in mining stocks, which in a majority of instances were still registered in the names of pre- vious owners and cannot be re-

Earle Foxe Began His
Acting at Ohio College

Back Of his several seasons IN
stock at the old Garrick, Earle
Foxe, who has appeared in innu-
merable pictures of late and al
ways prominently cast, there were
many years of amateur theatricals
experienced by this player. This
was at the Ohio State University,
where Fpxe was leading man Of
the dramatic club for his entire
four years.
Appearing at the Fox Theater
this week in -Four Sons Foxe
plays a Prussian colonel, and it
was his performance in this re-
markable picture that graduated
Foxe from the light comedy roles
of the famous Van Bibber series
of two-reeI comedies, to the ''heav-
les, in which he has been seen OF
late. The most recent were in
Hangman's House. and then
again last week in THE River Pi-
rate. Both were in support of
Victor McLagIen.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS

Homestake mine are still liv- ing. Rich old mines of Idaho,
 California, Colorado, Nevada and Arizona continue to make history as dividend payers and the heirs of the original in- vestors in many of these com panies are now enjoying the dividends. It took time and money to attain success for these enterprises but once the goal is reached there is a long period of prosperity ahead. The goal is worth fighting for.

GOLDEN EGGS.

According to the legend it is the goose that lays the golden egg. But according to state- ments from leading egg mark cts of the country it is the hen.
 Egg production by the most common of barnyard fowls this year will exceed in value all the gold taken out of the earth during the same period. Moreover, the eggs which the hen supplied, save the number which are still reposing in cold storage for future use, have been consumed at countless breakfast tables, while the gold, not being perishable, still remains in vaults or in the form of currency.
 The hen is not held in high regard, owing to her habit of crossing the road at a time which is often inconvenient for the motorist and also be- cause her elation over discov- ering that she has replenished he earth interferes with the ;lumbers of the country, but she is nevertheless one of our most imporatnt wealth pro- 1ucing factors.
 Not only is the value of the egg production greater than hat of the gold output, but it $ above rubies. Lacking gold, she United States should be able to set up other standards of values and still exist as a nation. Lacking eggs, we should be in sorry straits.
 It is time that the hen was esteemed at her true worth.

The recent finding of a seine boat upside down at Kama gaunt Cove indicates another tragedy of the sea. A board bore the word "Kintlock Pack ing Company, of Mill Bay, Mass River," which identifies the boat as of Canadian regis ter. The fate of the crew on board can only be guessed at. It is believed that the boat must have drifted from below Cape Fox in Canadian waters.

PATIENCE WORTH WHILE.
(From "Underground")

(From "Underground")
 That old saying that Rome was not built in a day has a parallel in the history of uividend-paying mining com panies. The development of a prospect into mine takes time, and the man who is without patience should shoot craps with his money. Mining com panies sell development shares so that funds will be provided to carry out the development of the veins. Some companies, if they wished, could sell con- trol to larger mining organi- Zations but if they did so would lose the full measure of profits that will come if they hold control, do their own if nancing, and stick to the fin ish.
 The average mine is longer lived than the individual who invests his money in it. It is certain that few of the original stockholders of the famous

COLUMBUS

Four hundred and thirty-six years ago came the turning point in civilization and gov ernment!
 And so, because of that date, October 12, the world is eel ebrating the discovery of Christopher Columbus.
 The fearless Italian navigator set out in search of a shortcut route to India, by way of the westward ocean. What he really discovered was much more than a new continent, for as he landed on the Island of Guanahani, West Indies, he opened the door of the land that made government by the people possible.
 True, the early explorers of America were lured by gold, but it was refugees from Euro pean political oppression that built the foundations of the mighty civilization that has risen on the American conti- nent.
 Innumerable millions enjoy in their liberties and their hap piness, the fruits of Christo- pher Columbus faith. Conti- nents are his real monuments.
