Washington.-The Post says:
A compromise has been reached be-

The compromise contemplates leg

shall be to make a full and complete
investigation on every phase of the
subsidy question and submit it's re-
port to the Fifty-ninth congress at an

Hendryx Process.

The Atlas company, operating in the
Buffalo Hump country, has had some
ore tested by the Hendryx process at
Spokane. George Crane, manager of
the Atlas, says: 1.-THE ore, which as
says Sails, ran high in silver and
was not best suited to the Hendryx
system. We recovered $41.82 with
amalgamation and concentration and
the Hendryx treatment of the tail
ings.
THAT gave a silver extraction of n
per cent and a gold extraction of 96.3
per cent, or a total of sc per cent. Elk
periments made by G. M. Fassett with
the same ore, using amalgamation,
concentration and cyaniding by the
usual methods, gave a higher extrac-
ton in silver and a less IN gold. or a
total of 80 per cent Because of the
higher gold recovery in the Hendryx
treatment we expect to install Hen
dryx mill in connection with an ANAL
gamating and cyaniding plant. We
shall not put in the mill, however, un-
til We open larger reserves.
THE tunnel at the mine has pene
trated our second shoot 80 feet. 1t is
seven feet wide and carries values
around $40. We have our new hoist
on the ground and only await the
boiler and the pump to start our two
compartment shafts from the tunnel
level"

the smallest, consisting only of photo

session of the Fifty-eighth congress
expired by constitutional limitation
Monday, when the regular session be-

This eliminates the possibility of a

the senate has not confirmed him, to

AGRICULTURAL REPORT.
Secretary Wilson Submits His Annual
to the President.

~ TIC TlSSiOCHls
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture has submitted his annual report
to the president. In part he says:
Out of their continued abundance
during the past year the farmers Of
the nation have contributed food and
raw materials for manufactures to hun
dreds of millions of people in foreign
countries, besides sustaining 100000
at home.
Represented in value, the exports Of
grain and grain products had about
two thirds of the Importance Of cotton
in the last fiscal year, the value of the
export being more than 1921 ,OOO, 900.
From 10000, 900 acres of wheat there
was a surplus for foreign mouths
amounting to 114,O0O,OO0 bushels and
100000 barrels of flour, amounts
that together represent 100000, 900
bushels of wheat.
Third in Importance are the exports
of meats and meat products, with a
grand total of Sis, 100000, to which
may be added $35,OOO,0OO for live ami
mails. Quantities that are beyond the
grasp of the mind represent the ex-
ports of meats and their products. The
pounds of beef we're 3S5,000,OO0; Of
pork, 551 100000; of lard, 491, 900, 900,
and of cleo oil, 10000, 000
The foregoing figures, it should be
borne in mind, do not stand for the to-
tai production of the farms, but for
the surplus production after the wants
of the people at home have been salts
fed.
