No. 6 An indication. of the line on which Great Britain expects-peace to be arranged at the close of the war is given in an interview obtained by Italian representatives with Hon. Winston Churchill, whois officially reported as saying: ‘We are very confident in Britain about winning the war. We have made up our minds to win if it costs the last sovereign and the jast man in the British Empire. Time is on our side, I never expected to see the campaipn go so well in the first two or three months, I have aiways been looking to the seventh, eighth or ninth months of the war to produce the great decision. “Of course, it is much too soon to speculate. We are not building on accounts of battlefields. - We are measuring the vital forces of the nations engaged in the war. We are satistied that Germany has done her worst and is fully expended. Russia has only just begun, In less than six months’ time we ghall have one million soldiers in line, all volunteers—not taken on compulsion. The men will be equipped with everything that science can invent or money can buy, drawn by our naval power from the whole world. ‘We want this war to settle the map of -Europe on national lines and according to the true wishes of the people who dwell in the disputed areas. After. all the blood that is being shed, we want a natural and harmonious settlement which liberates races, restores the integrity of nations, subjugates no one, and permits genuine and lasting relief from the waste and tension of arma- ments, under which we have suffered go Jong. ‘There will never be real peace and comfort till then. As long as Austria has power and spends thousands of Italian lives in quarrels of her ambition; as long as she holda in her hand and bondage their provinees and numerous populations which are Italian by heart and soul and nature, there will always be armament and ecounter-armament, fear, tension and intrigue, and. always danger of this horrible spending money made - these in- cutustrophe returning, a fairy and natura! adjustment of European boundaries, Let us make an end of it now; letus have Let us war againat the principle of one'set of Europeans holding down by force and conquest, against their wills, another seetion. Let us}, reach a final and simple-solution, and let us fortify and confirm the settlement by alaw of nations which even’ the most audacious will have been taught to respect.”’ SUCCESSFUL IN MINING PROMOTION Recently there died in St, Louis aman of whom few ever heard. He was of the Weyerhauser type. He was worth $40,000,000, according to the inventory de- posited with the assessor. . This fund had been accumulated in the last 20 years through assid- uous cultivation of opportunities and grasping details that others could not seize. This was James Campbell, who might rightfully be termed the father of mining investments in St. Louis, He was not a miner, but a man gifted with far. sight that pointed the way. to success, but he had the faculty of picking up good things that others stepped ‘over. He was instrumental in financing the famous Granite Mountain mine in Montana, - which brought to St. Louis over| « $35,000,000 in the days before ‘the white metal had become de- monetized and was quoted at coinage value, ~The old steady going investors of the metropolis of : Missouri were averse to speculation of the mining class, but they were will- ing to take. a flyer ‘and the first investment. happened to be Granite Mountain, which cauged the men behind the -bankroll to sweat blood for many. years, At last, ‘the- burden -became too irk- some and they’ held ; a. meeting and: declared | they. could: ‘not go arly further. with support, A * dispatch was sent to Phillipsburg, Moit.,. instructing the. superin- tundent. of the property. to. cloge wown,. bey. all bills: ‘and ‘cémé home, Concurrent with the hour of this meeting other things were doing in Montana. The ming had opened a huge vein of high grade silver and the news, was flashed to St Louis, Both mes- suges crossed, The former was recalled and the mine was devel- oped to an extent that dazzled the staid uld plodders of St. Lou- is and gave an impetus to that town. One bank which held a block of the stock in escrow at 124 cents a share had foreclosed on the security and filed the certificates away in its vanits with other worthless resources it.’ This stock advanced to one dollar a share, and then mounted the ladder steadily until it touch: ed $18 with regular monthly dividends of from 60 cents to $1 a share, St. Louis began to expand. The bank sold its worthless’ collateral for $15 a sharé and ordered the’ erection of a massive skyseraper, The stockholders drew ‘down, fat divi- dends and the news of the won- derful profits inaugurated a boom in the mining stocks that for al. |time made St. Louis the mining financial center of the West. |/ Thither’ every. promoter wended. his way and the strong boxes of the old town were opened and a deluge of wealth lavished. ‘on offerings from Arizona, New Mexico,’ Montana, Utah, Idaho and Colorado, ‘The father of this movement was. Jumes Campbell, ‘and. to. this oné man’s business acumen. St. Louis i is indebted, for Borie ‘of its best’ paying investments, ~ "From! mining he drifted ‘into’ ‘aileoni ! and proceeded to forget all about |= THE OMINECA MINER, SATURDAY, ocroniR 3, 1914 speculation and investeres ts, bought run-down railroads which | Hi he consolidated into trunk sys- tems, acquired rickety old street- car lines that could not begin to pay interest on the cost, and by vestments dividend payers. . Forty millions in the course of 20 years is a huge sum to gather and care for, and it is a singular fact that the death of a man with such an accumulation would not merit more than a passing notice in the daily papers. Mil- lionaires have grown so numer: ous that they are no longer de- Serving of more than cursory at- tention. A Model Mine Plans for the model mine at the Panama Pacifie exposition are coming forward nicely. The co-operation of a number of the leading mining companies and machine?y manufacturers is go- ing to make possible a really ed- ucational exhibit. The effort will be toe reproduce as closely as space will permit actual stopes from representative mines. The list now assured includes the Bunker Hill & Sullivan, Goldfield Consolidated, Homestake, Copper Queen, a Jones & Laughlin iron mine stope, and rooms showing coal mining in both anthracite and bitumiuous fields constructed by several of the leading com- panies. Others are tentatively promised, Bureau of Mines offi- cials ‘who are in charge of the enterprise are meeting with every encouragement, and -we believe the mine will be one of the most instructive exhibits at the Exposition. If it serves the purpose of giving the general public & real insight into mining, “perceptive center” around? whieh ‘to build an accurate con- eept of underground conditions, it will be well worth the time and labor expended, Timber Sale X 231 SEALED TENDERS will be received by the Minister of Landg not later than Neon on the 25th day of September, 1914, for the purchase of Licence X 281, to cut 3,969,000 feet of timber, adjoin- ing Lot ‘OR90, and located south of Andi- maul, Cassiar District, : hree yeara will be allowed for the removal of the timber.
