CHEApEN1NG REDUCTION
OF BASE ORES,
Idaho Chemist Produces Nitric Acid
from the Atmosphere.

AsOssA tAC AtfhVcphCA
A new scientific discovery that is of
especial value to all mining districts
having base ores Of good values, but
which under present conditions cannot
be worked at q profit, comes from Idaho.
through the Wood River News Miner.
A cheap process has evolved from
a nitric acid theory conceived by a
young chemist of the Northwest twelve
years ago.
By his process, Mr.. Rankin produces
nitric acid from the atmosphere at a
cost not to exceed mills per pound, or
"a a ton. In the cheapening of this
product lies the foundation Of his sue
cess, as nitric acid sells at New York at
from 8 to 10 cents pound.
Taking 10 cents O pound az basis, a
ton of nitric acid costs 5000, without
freight. making it too expensive for
practical use. A ton Of acid will reduce
from five to ten tons of ore, according
to the baseness of the rock, making the
cost of treatment at the mine by the
Rankin method from 40 to 80 cents
a ton.
In recent test run 500 pounds of acid
were made in forty-fve minutes, and
all the values were extracted from one
and half tons of ore in forty minutes.
The ore is first crushed to about go
mesh and then put in a revolving cir
cular tank containing the acid of the
desired strength and then put in motion.
This reduces all the metals. excepting
gold. to a solution, after which each
metal is precipitated separately, the
gold being caught with zinc shavings.
The Rankin process claims to reduce
the costs to nominal figure, and there
is no expense after the treatment at the
mines excepting transportation charges
on the bullion, be it gold. silver. lead,
copper, or zinc.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
A New Way of Using Chamberlainf
Cough Remedy

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing from Dur.
ban, Natal, South Africa, says: "As proof
that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a cure
suitable for old and young, pen you the fol-
lowing: A neighbor of mine had a child lust
over two months old. 1t had a very bad
cough and the parents did not know what to
give it. | suggested that if they would get
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat the baby was
sucking it would no doubt cure the child.
This they did and brought about quick
relief and cured the baby" This remedy is
for sale by III. NJ. Schneiders & Co.

ANOTHER STORY OF THE WEST.
Once an Affiuent C0mst0cker-Now
In Ton0pah Kitchen.
Goodwin's Weekly of Salt Lake.

Goodwin's Weekly of Salt Lake.
Men returning from Tonopah bring
the story that poor old Hank" Smith
is cooking for one of the outfits in that
prosperous camp. Another story of the
West. that runs in serial form starting
with the golden days of Virginia City,
into the whirl of life in San Francisco,
thence to Alaska and back to poverty.
From fortune and fine position back
to the wild for new start.
But while "Hank'' is working day
and night in the little camp, Mrs. Hank
(who has been here more or less) il
busy in the social game in San Fran.
cisco. and year ago her entertainments
for her son. Lieut.. Emory Smith. be-
fore his departure for an Eastern sta
ton, was the talk of the town. The
Hank Smiths in San Francisco live
beautifully, wear fine clothes and look
like ready money, while poor old Hank is
buried in the Nevada hills trying to
exc out living. The mysterious part
of the story is the money at the San
Francisco end of the line.
The "Hank" Smiths were married in
Virginia City in old bonanza days. At
the time of the marriage Hank had
about $500, 200. 90, and Mrs. Hank" q
school teacher, the daughter of nurse,
had an abundance of good looks, so all's
swell that ends swell, it was a good
match. Afterwards they moved to San
Francisco. Mrs. s. had social ambi-
tions. and Hank was busy in one min.
ing deal and another all over the West.
Finally, it was said, he had nothing
left; next he was heard of in Alaska.
Then with the exception Of news con-
corning the dashing Lieutenant Smith,
and the descriptions of his mothers
entertainments, which appeared period
ically in the San Francisco papers,
nothing was heard Of them, until the
news came that poor old "Hank" was
working for so much day in mining
camp kitchen.

FAKE MINING PROMOTERS.
Methods of Philadelphia Sharpers in
Their Management of the McKin-
ley and the Gir0ux Mining Com
nauiaa of Wh;fa Dina rouufu Ew-

Iuelr management OI the MchfH-
ley and the GirOux Mining Com
panies of White Pine County Ex-
posed.
What should be hailed as the most
welcome news that has come into Ely
for some time, says the White Pine
News. was dispatch from Joseph L.
Giroux. general manager of the Giroux
Consolidated Mines Company, operating
the Pilot Knob mines here, stating that
the company had made settlement
with Hurd. Hearther & Company, the
Philadelphia sharpers, and that they
were no longer connected with the af-
fairs of the company.
This action was brought about by
Hurd 81 Company attempting to work
the same graft employed as fiscal agents
of the Mckinley Company, in which
latter company they were given so
many thousand shares of stock to sell
on commission, they agreeing to foot
the running expenses of the property
here. Things ran along smoothly for
some time and, with the aid of an
houored name, Mckinley stock sold
readily all over the land for from 81. so
to IS per share, and Hurd, Hearther &
Company scooped in the dough, amount
ing to several hundred thousand dollars,
and have appropriated it for their own
use. But some 100000 has been ex-
pended on the mines here, which has
been used very economically in their
development, and no one can say but
that good work has been done on the
mines for the money expended. 1t is
worse than pulling teeth for Manager
McGill to get money enough out of
them to meet the monthly payroll of
from $500 to $4,000. when they are
known to have some $500, 900 belonging
to the Mckinley Company. Having
realized this princely sum from the sale
of stock, they are not looking for a
mine themselves and are trying in every
way possible to prevent the few honest
and conscientious men found in the
company from finding one. Our advice
to prospective investors in Mckinley
stock is: Touch not share so long as
Hurd, Hearther g. Company have any
thing to do with it.
Having been successful with such
rotten methods in the past, they worked
their way in the organization of the
Giroux Consolidated Company by maxi
ing all sorts of empty promises. Scarcely
had they become connected with the
company when they began the same
boom methods, established paper here

the property, aud to otherwise work
hand in hand with them in the per.
petuation of the stock graft. Gironx
stock did not sell as rapidly as the Nc.
Kinley. Money was coming in slowly,
but the expense of operating the mines
continued and had to be met. Seeing
that they would be unable to keep
ehO H1AhOo iuhhinS anu PoSAoe Low
thousand each month, they simply
overlooked the past two pay days at the
mine, and we presume kept that amount
of money for personal requirements.
When Manager Giroux learned of
this, and of the reputation Of the men
with whom he was connected, he set
out for Philadelphia with blood in his
eye to Immediately and for all time to
come, sever relations with them.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

The Chicago Record Herald an
nounces that bill providing for the
creation Of national arbitration tribu-
nal for the settlement OF labor dis
putes. will I'm the near future be intro
duced In congress by Senator Cullom
This tribunal Is to consist of the secre-
tary OF the department OF commerce
and labor ex-ofiicio, and Ave other
members to be appointed by the presl-
dent II will have power to summon
representatives. Of both sides Of the
controversy, and all papers and nfor-
nation that may be necessary to an
adjudication Of the differences between
employers and employees, the purpose
OF the measure being to avert a strike
and the losses to mechanics and en-
ployers incident to strike while the
matter In dispute is being heard.
The great difficulty with any such
measure is to induce, or compel the
parties to the dispute to avail them
selves of this means of settlement, and
to abide by the DEGREES given, The bill
referred TO proposes to force the parties
to arbltrate, by the pressure of public
opinion. A refusal TO submit to arbl-
| tration Is to be followed by complete
| disclosure of all details relating to the
| dispute. IT Is supposed, however, that
the proposed national commission,
| since II Is composed of men of the
highest ability and integrity, can exer-
else moral force through the powers
| conferred by the law that would Insure
acceptance OF its DEGREES as being just
and equitable.
There Is some objection TO "compul-
sorry" arbitration, and It Is thought that
II would be unconst tutionDL But com
pulsory' arbitration does not curtall
the rights of laborers to cease working
when they prefer to take rest, OF
when they think the wages paid are
lower than they deserve. Nor does Il
interfere with the right Of employers tC
change hands or TO go out of business
II simply means that when a difference

be unlawful to strike, or to lock out, il
order to force an agreement and tn

constituted board for settlement Som
such arrangement Is called for by tn
fact that industries not directly con
cerned are generally made to suffer tn
consequences Of any big strike. Thi
