WASHINGTON. July 9O.-The rains in
the corn belt today were considerably less
than during the past forty-eight hours,
but they fell where they were most
needed; that is, in Southwestern Ohio
and Southern Illinois. There were also
good rains in Tennessee and Arkansas
and good showers in Missouri, iowa,
Eastern Nebraska and Eastern Kansas.
Singulariy enough, though rain fell all
around Indiana, there was no precipitation
Of Importance within it's boundaries. The
central portion of the corn belt Of Texas
is still without much needed rain.
Prospects generally are for fair wealth
er in the corn belt now, with warmer
weather west of the Mississippi rlv-
er. and next Thursday there VIII be
warmer weather east of the river. Tenn
peratures in the corn belt show little
change. The maXmurns have averaged
rather less than 30 west Of the Mississippi
and slightly over that figure to the east.
In the Atlantic states it has been warm
and temperatures will probably continue
about the same. In Washington the ther-
mometer registered a maximum of 90
degrees.

SrneIter Tricks.

For some strange reason, observes
a western exchange, there are snany
mining men who do not understand
the basis on which smeltens pay for
so.4- "A good many miners with
promising properties expect that
they will get the assay values on a
shipment, less the freight and treat
ment charges. I'm this ,fand hope a
good many people think that they
have ore that will net them a good
retunl, when in fact it will not pay
for being hana1ea. This condition
is particularly true of coqSeer ores.
1t is MS qIeasarG task to snde-
caave the .Ioiner who believes tkat ke

of rock tests the value of the gold
at S2o.67 an ounce, the copper at
about 169 cents pound, and the
silver at so cents an ounce.
He furnishes a certificate some
thing like this:
Gold, at $2o.67 per ounce $4.13
Silver, 4 ozs. at zoe an or. .2.4O
Copper, 4 per cent or so lbs
at l6Ic per pound 1920
Total. $40 IS
The mine owner will figure that
1t will cost him, say, 81 ton to
haul his ore to the railroad, ST. SO
for railroad freight, and SO for
smelter charges. That would make
total of $l1.5O. As his ASSAY
value is 1913 a ton, he believes
that he should make a profit of
1928 a ton. Possibly he has 400
tons of his frst-class ore on the
dump, and he counts on getting a
profit of over $500 from the
smelter.
But the smelter would not nay
anything like 1878 for the ore.
The smelters have an arbitrary sys-
tenn of their own for settling. The
customary practice Is to deduct 5
per cent from the gold and from the
silver values for refining charges.
They are, perhaps, justified in this,
for the refinery sometimes pays the
smelter for only 95 per cent of the
gold at $40 an ounce and for the
silver at the current market price.
1t is ia paying for copper that
the smelter makes the biggest ne
duction. An old Cornish custom
is to pay for no copper except the
amount In excess of l.13 per cent.
If the ore does not assay more than
1.3 per cent the miner gets nothing
at all for the copper. This CUSTOM
was started when smelling was 8
primitive business, and good deal
of copper was lost in mattelng.
Nowadays metalurgy has been am
proved so that only about per cent
of l per cent of copper is lost.
Nevertheless the smelters usually
charge their old toll Of l.3 per cent,
In addition to thus they only pay
10 cents pound instead Of at $l63
CENTS, the market price. The de-
duction is alleged to cover the re-
filing charge.
The ASSAY value of ore carrying
d per cent copper lis $500. The
smelter, however, ,deducts 1.s per
cent, leaving 81 per cent, of 81
/ pounds. for which 1t pays 10 cents
a pound, or SIS 40.
THE smselter payment, therefore e.
is about like this:
Gold, at $40 per or, less $
percent. ......... sos
Silver, az at b89c per OF,
less 5 per cent. ...... 2. %
Copper, per cent, less l.s
! per cent, Sd pounds, at
1oc per pound. -. $50

A CUT IN GRAIN RATES.

Globe Democrat last Saturday contained
the following In regard to recent reduc.

Fort Worth Texas when destined to all
other points In Texas. These proportional
rates To Fort Worth. used In connection
with the local rates from Fort Worth,
make large reductions in the joint rates

understood that the Rock Island put in
these rates to meet toe manipulation at

important feature Of the new tariff Is that
