GET A FRESH GRIP ON LIFE
Scarcity of men for railroad construction is seen in
the call from Katalla for rail layers, the continued demand
for men on the government railroad and demand for mine
workers.
Never in the history of the north has there been such
* . *i
an opportunity for laborers as now exists. There is the op
portunity for those who have suffered temporary set-backs
and disappointments to “come back." Forget the fights you
have lost, take a new grip and win again.

THE VOLUNTEER STATE
The New York Sun says editorially: “We salute Ore
gon. When war was declared she had 2424 men in the
national guard and 1074 have enlisted in the regular army,
bringing her grand total of 6657, or !H) per cent of the
quota of 7387 set down as her just contribution. ‘Web
foot’ is no name for Oregon. With onlc 717 men to be con
scripted, call her ‘the Volunteer State.' "

A MAN’S A MAN TODAY
Time was when it was quite the tiling to call a farmer
a hayseed.
He was also called a “rube," a “hick," or a “greenie.”
But the time has gone. There never was any sense in
the use of such words. No man is at home in another’s sur
roundings.
But today the farmer ranks with the soldier as the na
tion’s first line defender. The corn row ranks with the
fire trench.
The farmer is not only a useful person today, but he
is also a hero.
So away with the ratronizing attitude, the high and
lofty manner, the sarcisam and derision.
A man’s a man these days.—Ex.
They do what no
other cigarette
ever did before;
they satisfy—and
yet they’re MILD.

MINING NOTES
William A. Havner, a miner from
the Broad Pass country, has conferred
with officials of the A. E. C. in regard
to shipping antimony ore from his
claims during the coming winter. Hav
ner has been mining antimony, which
he discovered in 11)14, but the lack ol
trails and water transortation has pre
vented shiping any of it to tl\e smelter.
He hopes to make arrangemnts with
the Commission to handle his product
betwen his claims and Indian river this
winter, provided work is carried on in
that vicinity by commission forces. At
present Havner has over 25 tons of
ore ready to be shipped and if trans
portation arrangements can be made,
he hopes to get out 100 tons or more
during the fall and winter. The ore
from his mine, according to govern
ment assay, runs 68 per cent, and
would bring between $275 and $.'100 a
ton f. o. b. tide water. When discov
ered ,the antimony lay in a thin blan
ket, but since the vein has been fol
lowed, it has been found to have a dip
and tunneling has been necessary to
bring the ore out. The vein has be
come broader as the tunnel was ex
tended and now about three tons are
yielded to each foot mined, according
to Mr. Havner. The ore lies in a pyra
mid formation with the apex near the
surface. The tunnel has been pushed
about twenty-five feet already and far
ther it goes, the wider the vein be
comes. Havner’s claims lie between
the Big Honolulu and the east fork
of the Chulitna and are thirty-five
miles from Indian river, the head of
navigation on the Susitna. The rail
road surveys come within one and a
quarter and three miles, respectively,
from his antimony mine, and he is
certain to have excellent transporta
tion facilities when the railroad is fin
ished to the Pass.
