BRING FINE SAMPLES
FROM MUIO GROUP
Pat McBride was down a few
days ago with some fine samples
of ore from the Munro group, in
which he is interested, and upon
which a tunnel is now being driv
en. The ore is solid steel galena
and comes from a small lead from
six to eight inches in width that
shows in the face of the tunnel.
Another lead on tne same proper
ty, Pat says, carries about a foot
of grey copper ore. The Munro
group is situated on the west side
of the Salmon glacier and owned
by Pat McBride, J. E. Munro and
Alex McDonald. A trial ship
ment will be made this fall down
the glacier and over the new Tex
as creek trail.
SOMEWHAT OF A MIX-UP
“The Star Spangled Banner” is
recognized throughout the possess
ions of the United States as the
national anthem; for, although no
| legislation has established it as
such, a ruling of both Army and
Navy provides that when the flag
is lowered at sunset this anthem
shall be played, and further, that
all men in the service must stand
at attention when it is heard. This
explanation will clear up a little
misunderstanding, given publicity
in the Portland Canal News as
follows:
| “Through a mistake a rather
unpleasant little incident occurred
at the dance in Hydcr, Saturday
evening last, the pianist played the
American national anthem, “Am
erica,” the tune being the same as
that of ‘God Save the King,” a
number of those present thought it
was the latter and took offense.
1 he first few lines of “America”
are: “My country ’tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I
sing.” This song is sung to the
; same tun* as “God Save the King.”
