Leadville Bismuth Ore.

The bismuth ore of the camp is
unique in one repsect, says the Lead
vile Herald-Dcmocrat. it has associ-
ated with II five other metals in appre-
ciable quantities. These are gold. sill
yer, lead, copper and tin. The bismuth
in other portions of the world seldom
has any other metal in association with
1t. The tin occurs in appreciable guam
titles In almost every ton of Penn ore,
but of course no account is made of
II in The assays. Manager Sullivan has
II pig of bismuth M the assay Office
which Is ninety per cent. pure, the rest
being gold, silver and tin.
Mr.. Sullivan has found by trial runs
that the bismuth ore concentrates very
nicely. The bismuth ore Is of about the
same specific gravity Ms lead, and hence
n very rich concentrate can be saved,
the tailings being sufficiently valuable
in gold and silver TO be shipped to the
smelter. The Importance of concen-
trating bismuh ore Is obvious II II be
necessary 10 ship 1t to Europe or to the
seaboard for treatment. If the crude
ore can be reduced to concentrate

An Important Ruling.

A recent ruling Of the secretary OF
the interior in regard to application for
mining patents Is of considerable i'm
portnnce to miners. II has heretofore
been held that where n corner of an
adjoining agricultural claim cuts into
n mining claim, patent for the latter
could not he secured in Its entirety
where n portion had previously been
patented ms agricultural This has been
reversed by the secretary. who holds
that the agricultural claimant makes
affidavit that the ground Is non-mln-
eral. Under these circumstances the
United States could successfully main-
tain II suit TO vacatc an agricultural
patent on mineral ground. 10 the OK
tent of the ground IN conflict with n
mineral claim. The matter viii be of
considerable interest in this section
where mineral locations and npricul'
tural locations Frequently overlap The
point might be made that IL mineral

OHcial Defends the Action of the
Railways.
New York, Feb. 2.-From this day
henceforth railroad ticket agents in all
parts of the United States must depend
on their salaries for support, for the
railroads have cut off all commissions
which heretofore they have enjoyed. 1t
is said there will be an immediate read
justment of the salaries of the agents
to meet this new condition, but in most
instances it is claimed by the traffic
managers that the salaries are suffi-
cient. One of the members of the trunk
line association was asked If any agents
had suffered in consequence of the
sweeping order of January list.
Not one," he said, 'and there won't
be one resignation. The agents get
good salaries, and these commissions
merely We're extra compensation. In
fact. many of them constituted an I'M
derhanded system of rate discrlmina-
ton. The poorest companies, in order
to get business. allowed agents the
heaviest commissions, and many agents
would divide the commissions with the
passengers and send them over an in
ferior and circuitous route to their own
discomfort and detriment"
The agents have no one but them
selves to blame for this" said local
manager. They abused their opportun-
tiles. Commissions ranged from five to
fifteen per cent. Such commissions
were a drain on the treasures of the
companies. They amounted to millions
of dollars in u year. Western roads
alone will save $5O0,O00 a year"

Report of the Commission Favors Such q
Course.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The report of
the Philippines Commission, as sub
mitted to the President, has been made
public.
The commission believes it would be
safe and eXpedient and desirable to
grant to the inhabitants of the archi-
pelago home rule in local affairs. The
towns should enjoy the rights and
privileges of town in the territories of
the United States. The provinces
should be turned into counties, with
the same functions as counties in the
United States. This system might be
applied to LuZon and the Niscayan is
land at once. II is intended that the
F'ilipinos shall govern towns and coun-
ties by self-elected officers, subject to
general laws.
The suffrage should be restricted by
educational or property qualifications,
or both.
A small body of American officials Of
great ability and integrity should be
appointed to advise the town and coun-
ty officials in the discharge of their du-
ties. One commissioner for each 80
natives might suffice.
The commission advocates second
class territorial government for the
archipelago. in which only portion of
the legislative should be chosen by the
| filipinos.
Filipinos should be given preference
III office when they will do as well and
the merit system should be adopted
The finances should be managed for
the benefit of the islands, The scheme
of government should be put into effect
as soon as possible.

Prior to 1872 the worlds produc-
tion of beet sugar had never reached
100000 tons; in the present year Il
is, according to latest estimates, 5,5lc,-
900 tons, while the cane sugar crop,
which in 1872 was 1889 900 tons, is in
the present year 2,904,000 tons. Thus
cane-sugar production has scarcely
doubled during the period under con-
sideration, while that from beets has
more than quintupled. Meantime the
price has fallen more than one-half,
the average cost in foreign countries Of
all sugar imported into the United
States in the fiscal year 1872 being 2.37
cents per pound, and in 1899 2.39 cents
per pound. No instance Of the worlds
production of foodstuffs has been more
rapid or striking than that with refer
ence to beet sugar. In 1915 the total
beet-sugar crop of the world was but
1872 900 tons: in 1SS4-5 it was 2,545,00C
tons; in 1S94-5, 4,792,793 tons, and in
1S99-1900, 5.510.000 tons. In 1885,
beet sugar formed 13 per cent of the
worlds total sugar crop, and in 1899
1900 1t formed 66 per cent. Thus the
r-producing area of the world has
in less than n half-century been shifted
from the tropics northward. and the
