ALASKA MINER
MAKES COPPER
FIND IN IDAHO
WALLACE Idaho, June 23.—Three
sheep men with the nerve characteris
tic of plainsmen have “put one over”
on the big mining men of Idaho by
opening one of the biggest copper finds
in Idaho. Some of the leading mining
engineers and operators in the west
have, from time to time, started to
look into the copper possibilities of
the Heath district, forty mile's north
of Weiser and a few miles from the
western boundary line of Idaho in
Washington county. The find was
made by R. M. Straight, an Alaskan
miner who knew that the Heath dis
trict was highly mineralized. Instead
of interesting mining capital, he found
three ranchmen, Robert Stansfleld,
George Dinsley and J. B. Adrain, who
were willing to take a tenderfoot’s
chance and furnished the money.
The group of claims was named the
I. X. L. and now a crosscut 600 feet
long shows some of the best porphyry
copper deposits in the west. Atten
tion of big companies is now centered
in Heath and the Bunker Hill and Sul
livan is already testing out partially
developed silver-lead properties along
Grade creek. State Mines Inspector
Robert N. Bell is enthusiastic over the
new district.
LETTER FROM FRANCE
; 7 MONTHS REACHING
MAYOR OF PITTSBURGH
PITTSBURGH, June 21 (by Asso
ciated Press).—That a letter, address
ed to the mayor of Pittsburgh, was re
turned to the sender marked ' “un
known” by local postal authorities,
was brought to light recently when
Mayor E. V. Babcock received a com
muication from the, mayor of Nancy,
France, after it had been delayed eight
months.
The letter, under date of October 8,
1918, was received in Pittsburgh a few
weeks later, but the postal clerk who
handled the communication, stamped
on the envelope, the intelligence that
“Monsieur Le Maire, de la Villa de
Pittsburgh, Etats Unis de’ Amerique”
could not be located in the directory.
The letter was advertised, and finally
returned to the Nancy executive, who
appealed to the American embassy in
Paris. He explained that he was ex
ceedingly anxious that the people of
Pittsburgh read the words of appre
ciation of the folk of Nancy for two
flags presented to them in connection
with the Bastile Day celebration here
July 14 last.
Paris embassy officials enclosed the
letter in another envelope, re-address
ed it, and Mayor Babcock received
the communication only a few days
ago.

THREE INCH SHELL
USED DURING WAR TO
TRANSMIT MESSAGES
NEW YORK, June 21 (by Associated
Press).—A hollow three-inch shell,
fused to emit on striking a gas of
smoke-like density by day, and lumin
ous at night, and used to transmit mes
sages from division headquarters, to
advanced or exposed positions, is an
other war-time secret which has now
been made public.
This form of communication was
first used by the Germans, and after
ward adopted by the allies. A sample
of the shell—one that was captured
from the enemy during the St. Mihiel
drive—was brought home by Vice
Admiral Gleaves on his return from
France.
According to Admiral Gleaves, the
shell has a range of about 2,000 yards,
and is self propelling. Its velocity
was such as to require 14 seconds to
travel that distance, “slow enough,”
the admiral said, to enable an active
man to dodge it, should he see or hear
it coming. When it struck, it could be
readily located by Its smoke cloud by
day, or its light by night, picked up,
a cap unscrewed and the message in
side delivered to ^he officer for whom
it was intended.
