SUMMARY.

The past week has been a very favor,
able one. The week previous ended
with heavy rains in nearly all parts OF
the state east of the Missouri river,
being followed by warm weather, with
penty of sunshine, all vegetation made
rapid progress:
The largest part OF the wheat crop
is now in, and considerable oats have
been sown in the eastern and southern
portions of the state. Some flax has
been put in, and in some few sections,
corn planted.
In some places in the Red River Val
LEY, seeding has been delayed by the
land being too wet to get on to work
Early sown grain is up, and generally
has a good stand and color. Grass has
started everywhere, and in some
places affords pasturage for stock.

MINERs To HAvE a sEcRErARY
Senate Judiciary Committee Recon-
mends Measure to Create One.

The members Of the State Society of
Labor and Industry are greatly pleased
because the bill to establish the Office
of secretary of mining industries has
been recommended for passage by the
judiciary committee of the house and
will come up tomorrow for passage.
Only one member of the judiciary COM
nittee voted against a favorable recon-
mendatiOn of the bill The bill passed
the senate last week and there is now
no doubt that it will become a law.
The secretary is to be elected by dele
gates from the different miners unions
in the state for a term of two years and
will receive a salary of $500 per an
mum. He will appoint, with the sane
ton of the executive council, four deputy
mine inspectors, one each in Crawford,
Cherokee, Usage and LeavenWorth coun-
ties. They viii receive 50 per day for
each day actually employed and also
get expenses.
The secretary is to make annual re-
ports which will be published as are the
reports of other state officers.
w. J. Blaine, chairman of the legis-
lative committee of the State Society
Of Labor and Industry. has worked faith
fully for the bill and so has Senator
Porter. The miners Of the state have
been trying for some time to get such
a law as it gives them several decided
advantages and to a certain extent
gives the union the backing of the state.

Pig iron buying by foundries and mills

the heavy purchases of Bessener iron

that Bessemer billets for prompt ship

SHELTERS COMBINE.
Organizations Which Control 80 Fer
Cent Of Silver Output Unite


Denver, Jan. 31.-The organization Of
the American Smelling company in
which the American Smelling and Re-
hn1ng company has been merged with
the Guggenhein interests and which viii
control between 20 and 50 per cent OF
the silver output Of the world, has been
announced by Simon and Daniel Gug-
genheimer. who arrived in the city yes
terday-
given out the following statement
Our business has not been absorbed
There has been a merging Of the Two In
tereStS and an exchange OF securities.
In the handling OF metals. the miner
will be enabled to get. the full prices that
are paid, and what benefits the miner
is Of advantage TO the smelter- We have
kept up the price of lead, and we pro
pose to do the same with silver.
To-day silver is scientifically and
secretly bought by four brokers in Lon
don who stand in with each other and
the buyer. The seller sells his product
from day to day and is at the mercy
of the brokers This can and will be
changed as soon as the thing can be
rounded up.
1--WE believe that instead of the smell
ter company being a menace to the
country it win be an advantage In
the first place the receipts of the rail
roads will be increased by an increase
of freight in and out To the miner
it viii mean an enormous advantage; 1t
will increase the product of his ores,
because under such a large operation as
this will be the smelters can assist the
miner to mine his low grade material,
which he now often times allows to re-
main in the mine.
I'VE believe the smelter is. In a sense.
to the miner what tine banker is. The
bank supplies him when in need Of
funds. and the smelter supplies him
with low treatment charges.
We have been getting the fnfOr1na-
ton from large institutions like the
Krupp works in Germany concerning
their methods Of caring for their en-
ployes. We intend to apply the best OF
these methods to the men in our EN-
plOy- It is our intention to improve the
condition of the men, and we hope to
establish libraries and proper homes for
them We do not claim to be philan-
thrOpists but believe that an improved
condition of the men in our employ can
not but work an advantage to US. There
il no doubt that the thrifty laborers will
in time become investors in the secu-
rites Of the company. and that is what
we want"

Wednesday there were two sergeant
