A FRUITFUL REFORM.

Dispatches from Washington Indicate that
one administrative reform wisely insisted on by
the last Congress is already bearing fruit BY
Il provision inserted in the General Deficiency
Appropriation act Congress sought TO end for
good and all practice, common in the eXecu-
tiTe departments. OF overrunning the allowances
made for their support in the annual supply
balls This tendency 10 contract contingently
for work and 10 anticipate appropriations had
So increased in recent years as practically TO
destroy the control which Congress is supposed
10 exercise over the public expenditures. In
tie Urgent and General Deficiency bills Of 1905
the TWO houses were called on 10 vote a lump
sum Of S31 100000 10 make good Overdrafts on

an indirect and unauthorized drain on the Treas
ury Of from S25.000.0O0 80 S30000O0O plays
havoc with al economies and upsets all calcu-
lations. Instead Of Congress regulating public
expenditures, the departments have been virtu-
ally keeping their own accounts and calling on
Congress, when necessary, to indorse their over
calculations

IriatioDs Committee in the last House. now
Junior Senator from Indiana, had the courage
and common sense TO bring in a measure end

that the assets at the close Of the year
amounted To $122, 574.75, while the liabil-

The fiscal year ending June 80, 1904,
closed on a deficit OF $16,S05.31, the OPP
Grating expenses exceeding the receipts
by that amount. The present report
shows net earnings of S1OO, S9S.SS. In
presenting the report, President John
Dern sums uD the result Of the year 5
operations in this neatly-worded and
lucid paragraph:
1.-THE vital points Of any mining prop
Osition are. first. the value OF the ore,
second, the extraction or those values,
and, third. the expenses. on each OF
these features we show Improvement
over last years figures. The value OF
the ore has gone up 6 cents, the amount
lost IN the tailings has gone down 3
cents: and the expenses have gone
down 20 cents. Thus the years results
show a total Improvement of IS cents
per ton over the preceding twelve
months"
The report of General Manager
George H. Dern contains much that will
be OF interest to the stockholders con-
corning mine conditions, mill operations
II
ming up he makes the following state
ment concerning ore reserves that is
fully justified by his description of the
mine workings and accounts OF the
opening of new ore bodies in virgin
territory:
1T wish il were possible to make a
close estimate of the tonnage of ore in
sight in the mines, but It must be ap-
parent TO any one reading what I have
said about the workings in caved
ground, that this is out Of the question.
The best I could hope to do would be
to make a guess. / said last year that
I thought the ore then developed ought
to admit of profitable operations for at
least two or three years. and that there
was no reason TO doubt that during
such a period many new developments
would be made. The years results have
shown that that estimate was certain
" conservative. 1 feel just as conf
dent today that We have at least twice
as much ore in sight as We had a year
ago."
The announcement is also made by
President Dern that beginning with
December the date Of paying the divi-
dends viii probably be changed from
the 9Th of the month 70 some day be-
tween the Goth and S0th. The change
is being made because the making Of
payment so early in the month as at
present crowds too much work on the
clerks in the offices of the company at
a time when all monthly accounts, pay
rolls, etc, are being made up.

Y-JUDGE'S
ZINC PRODUCT
Company Begins Shipment OF 1900
Tons to Mill in Salt Lake.
CON. MERCUR'S ANNUAL
ONTARIO AND DAILY COMPANIES
ASSESS 25e A SHARE.

The Daly-Judge Mining company has
just contracted 10 supply the Western
Ore Separating oOmpany-the new zinc
plant in the northwestern part Of Salt
Lake-with 1000 tons OF zinc middlings
from its mill dump at Park City. De
livery was begun a couple of days
since and the zinc mill began it's run
upon the material on Friday.
Manager John J. DAILY stated yester-
day that advantage would be taken Of
the present good. condition Of the
roads at the mine end and that the
tonnage contracted for would be de-
bvered just as rapidly as the zinc mill
management was able to find room for
II. The plant has bin capacity for 800
tons. or such a matter. ana when they
are filled the Daly-Judge win keep
shipping as fast as the mill can handle
the material. or at the probable rate
OF seventy-five tons per day.
The problem of finding a satisfac-
tory way or disposing OF our zinc prod
uct," said Mr.. DAILY, lis one that is OF
particular moment to the Daly-Judge
company. This shipment Of 1000 tons
is being made for the purpose, pri-
marily, OF giving the Western Ore Sep
arating company the opportunity to
uctIfOuSlldLC DOM us OWL anu Oui
satisfaction that it's plant viii do the
work on our zinc middling product. I
do not expect that the company. with
its new plant, will be able to accom-
plish the very best results from the
start: but If the run demonstrates that
the mill Is adapted to the work In hand
and that the product can be handled to
the mutual advantage of the Western
and Daly-Judge companies, il Is very
probable that shipments viii continue
regularly"
Asked if that did not mean that the
Daly-Judge mill would then be placed
in commission, Mr.. Daily replied that
il might. He was anxious to know that
when the mill was started its two prod
ucts could be disposed OF together. If
the solution was found in the operation
OF the Western cOmpany's works here,
the starting OF the company's mill at
the Park would be seriously consid-
cred.
In this connection it may be stated
that repeated tests Of .Daly-Judge zinc
middlings have been made by the
process employed at the Western COM
pany's works here and that they have
been uniformly good. That being true,
there is every reason to believe that
it will not be a great while till Man
ager DAILY gives the signal TO begin the
reduction Of ores at the Park city
end. where thousands OF tons are al
ready piled In the mill bins and on the
mill dump awaiting treatment, while
the mine is ready 10 supply more in
unlimited quantity and for an indeti-
mite time. While Mr.. Daily was not
disposed 10 make a specific statement
Oh the subject and while he did not
state positively that production would
begin right away, the circumstances
related make it plain that his company
is edging up to the point that has been
So patiently looked forward to by the
shareholders Of the company and the
camp in which the mines are located.
