VoL. IV. SaTuRDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1914. 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-

Let us},

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!

he consolidated into trunk sys-
tems, acquired rickety old street-
car lines that could not begin to

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,
