SA.0OO.OOO Mark Passed.

This has been good year for the
Joplin mining district so far as the
following dispatch in the Kansas City
Star tends to show:
1.-The total value of the zinc and
lead ore sold this year is 81, i,l72,57j,
passing the million dollar mark
three weeks ahead of last year, and
with an increase in the zinc sales of
only 2,226 tons and n decrease of 622
tons of lead. Zinc values have been
advanced over last years prices
Lead is not as high, but is advancing
With one more week to round out the
first half Of the year and strong de-
mand for both ores heoutlook is that
the district value will exceed mil
lion and perhaps reach 10 million dol
lars this year.
"The strike at the Edgar Zinc COM
pany's Cherryvale works closed down
temporarily a majority of the furn-
aces but it is now reported that a
majority are again in operation. The
strike did not cause the Edgar COM
pany to let up in the least in its pur-
chase of zinc ore, and it was one of
the heaviest buyers the past week.
"While the New Jersey Zinc COM
pany is buying up a number of the
lesser gas smelters, the Lanyon
brothers, sons of Josiah Danyon, head
of the ore purchasing department of
the Lanyon Zinc company, are busily
engaged in the erection of a new
smelter at Neodesha, Kan, for which
they already have buyer in the ore
field securing an advance stock of
ore. Thus the capacity for the con-
sumption of Joplin zinc ore is ex-
panding"

MORAN SNEW Gas COMPANY
Illinois Capitalists Buy Out the Fran
chise and Holdings and Will De-
velop the Field.

Clark Thomas was over from Mo-
ran Monday evening and he says
big things are In store for Moran.
The territory surrounding the town is
to be thoroughly developed both for
gas and oil, and the men who are GO
ing to do IL stand ready TO make good
use of the gas when they get 1t. And
Clark says they are not going to pipe
1t to Kansas City, either-not by
good deal.
A company was organized last year
which secured a franchise from the
city to furnish light and fuel. They
got leases on several thousand acres
of land around the city and drilled
several wells. They found q strong
enough tlow in one to supply the town
and 1t was piped, and they have since
enjoyed the benefits of cheap and con-
venient light and fuel. A good oil
we'll was also found.
Several Illinois capitalists have
been investing in the Chanute oil field
and while there learned of the situa-
tion at Moran. They investigated the
field and decided it was good propo-
sition. They interested other friends
and company was formed. They
are all men from Bloomington, Illi-
nois, and are said to have million
Of money back OF them. They opened
negotiations with the company al
ready in the field there and Monday
deal was closed by the terms of
which they get all of the rights, fran
chise and leases of the old company.
They have also secured lease on a
quarter on which the Lanyon Zinc
Company had previously held a lease
and which is considered good prop
erty.
The new company claims 1t Is In the
field for business. They want both
gas and oil and are in shape to make
good use of either one or both, They
will continue to supply the town, ant
one of the company says he is inter
ested in a plow manufacturing com
pany which he will bring there at once
if they find gas to warrant. There
are several other things which they
stand ready to put in operation a:
soon as they get the gas.
A charter will be secured at ono,
and operations will begin. II The
company lives up TO what it promises
it will prove just whatthe eastern par
of Alien county has underneath tn,
surface. And here's hoping they will
find plenty OF good, big, gushers.

New Tax System Needed.

There is a wide variation in the rate
of assessment in the various counties
of the state. The county paying the
smallest rate is Cove, away out near
" to the Colorado line. 1t pays only
S2.lO on each 800 valuation. Kiowa
county, on the other hand, pays S9.42
on each 500 valuation, or nearly 10
per cent on the assessed value of the
county. The average in the state is
$4. 06.
This simply emphasizes the need OF
new system of assessment and taxa
ton. One county assesses property
at it's full valuation and another at
one-fourth or one-ffth ofwhat it should
be. The result is great number OF
inequalities and much dissatisfac'
tion.
The following table shows the rate
of assessment on each 800 valuation

warm air of the tropics north over the
western part OF the ocean and then
east and south until it reaches the
west coast of Europe, which it Hoods
with warmth. Occasionally in the
winter the center of this eddy moves
westward until it's outskirts touch
America and pour the mildness of the
tropics over the United States, giving
it "green" Christmas.
While the Atlantic anti-cyclone is
ameliorating the climate of all West
ern Europe, the eastern coast OF Amer
lea is usually subject to land winds.
Eddies about storm centers are cross
ing the Rockies to the Atlantic in an
endless procession. Unfortunately
Labrador and Newfoundland happen
to be in the path of winds that are
drawn from the Arctic regions and
bring with them its severe cold. SO
these are frozen lands, while fifty lit
tie ports on the coast of Norway, fur
ther north, are open all winter. The
difference is due. to the atmospheric
drift and, the Gulf stream has as lit
tie to do with it as it has with the
price of eggs in the Kansas City
market.

THE GULF STREAEMYTH.
From the Kansas City star.

From the Kansas City star.
Are children still taught as they
used to be, that the British isles and
Northwestern Europe owe their mild
climate to the Gulf stream? If the
schools have given up the old idea,
parents have not. And if the small
boy OF the questioning age goes TO his
father TO learn why Liverpool isn't as
cold as Labrador, the chances are
that the parent viii reply as he was
taught in school, that the warm
waters from.the Gulf are carried into
Liverpool harbor.
This theory was proved myth at
che time of the Challenger expedition
more than twenty years ago But
books are still to be found asserting
that the Gulf stream saves North
western Europe from the fate of Lab
rador. This statement occurs even
in a recent and respectable encyclo-
peda. AS the investigators on the
Challenger found that the stream dis
appears a little to the southeast of
Newfoundland it is apparent that the
old theory as to its influence on the
coast of Europe is untenable.
But it is hard to correct wide
spread error, and the magazine and
newspaper articles on the Gulf stream
are only beginning to have an effect,
The latest OF these is by Mr. Harvey
NJ Watts in the current Scribner's.
1t contains what may be accepted as
the most recent summary of scientific
thought on the subject. In brief the
conclusion lis that the mildness of
European climate is due to currents OF
air, not of water.
Anyone who has paid attention to
the maps and forecasts of the Weather
bureau knows that there is general
atmospheric drift ia the temperate
zones from west to east. "This
means" says Mr.. Watts, "that all
coasts and all countries that lie east
of oceans have transferred to them
oceanic ameliorations, while the east
ern parts of continents naturally re.
ceive the atmospheric drift as affected
by the JandImasses over which it has
travelled"
This effect is augmented by the
peculiar shape which the drift takes in
midocean, The constant tumult in the
atmosphere caused by the heat at the
equator and the cold at the poles, re-
suits in vast .eddies. of air. Ohe o.
these, called the Atlantic anti-cyclone
remains in midocean, with its center
Z usually nearer to Europe than tC
America. In July this center is nor
mally northeast lof the Azores. Th'
atmosphere swirls about the ceDte

a clock. 1t is this enormous eddy o
air that drives the Caribbean water
