The San francisco Bulletin has in
article under the above caption which
we consider worthy of reproduction.
1t Is true that hardly enough promi-
hence is given in the treatment of the
subject to the lead product Of Eureka,
but aside from this, the article will
doubtless be perused with interest by
many of our home readers. Following
are the remarks Of our contemporary:
There is not a single lead mine west
of the Rocky Mountains-that is, a
mine worked exclusively for lead ores.
Yet the base metal ores on this side Of
the country furnishes about halfOf all
the lead used in the United States. Ac-
cordingt to n statement in the Iron Age,
Slab tons of lead were produced
in the United States during the
year 1878. OF this noun 3d.
200 tons were produced from
base metal ores from e of the Mis-
souri,. The lead was taken out at the
reduction works In Chicago, Omaha,
Salt Lake, San Franci,c co. and at the
smaller smelling works connected with
silver mining companies. The aggre
gate supply III 1910 Itit SuOit Vi th0
preceding year about 1000 ons The
consumption of lead is rapidly increas-
ing. Vastly more Is used for plumb
ing purposes than eve before.
There was a time afterthe close of the
Franco-German war v hen the lead
market became very dull. Considerable
lead which had been bought for war
purposes was put m the market. This
was also true alter the close of our
civil war. But more recently the
leading nations of Europe have been
putting their armies on a war footing.
These movements will prevent the
placing of "war lead" on the market.
Russia, last year imported 5000 ton,
of lead from Western Europe. Spain
in time OF peace, produces about 65. 900
tons Of lead annually, orr little o
than the United States. But during
the last three or four years the pro
duction has fallen off on accnnn of
the civil war which has been raging in
that country. The lead mines of the
Western States produced in 1875 only
about $1,000 tons, less by 5000 tons
than were extracted from the base
metals in the States and Territories
west of the Missouri. A lew years ago
the miners did not know what TO do
with a base metal mine. Now they
know That the presence of lead insures
the easy and profitable working Of all
such ores.

Almost opportune discovery! The
United States Government should pnr-
chase the property by all means. The
Government supply musthave become
exhausted by the recent drafts upon it
by Babcock q others, and nothing
less than a mine will suffice for Bel

which would give them majority without
New York.
On the other hand giving the Democrats
the entire South and Indiana, there are not
states enough remaining to save them with
out New York. In BRIEF the Republicans
can win without New York the Democrats
cannot.
If the Democrats succeed at all it must be
by fraud and violence practiced in Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina.
These states cast q electoral votes, and with
out them Tilden and Hendricks stand no
chance whatever. In every one of them
there is an actual majority of Republican vo-
tiers. In the last three the majority is very
large. Itfollows therefore as a matter OF
fact that Tilden cannot be elected. The only
possible contingency in which he can acquire
possession of the Office of President is by the
submission of the people to the outrage of
DISTINGUISHING majority of the voters of four
states. 1t is to be hoped that this question
never will arise to disturb the tranquility of
the Republic.

THE contest in the October elections was
quite as much for the possession of the next
national House as for electoral votes, and on
the Congressional vote the Republicans won
a signal triumph, gaining enough districts in
the two states of Ohio and Indiana to give
them one-fourth of the number of members
requisite TO be secured in order to overturn
the present majority. If other states do as
well the number of Democrats in the next
House will be small.
