Joseph s. Jordan, special Tonopah
correspondent of the San Francisco
Journal of Commerce, writing to that
paper under date Of Oct. IL says that
the Montana-Tonopah dividend of
500. 900 was passed by the Board of
Directors at their meeting on Oct. 16.
He says that the Directors went to
Tonopah prepared to declare the divi-
dend, bat upon their arrival they were
met by a telegram from the Smelter
Trust informing them that for the
present not more than 80 tons of ore
day could be shipped from the Mon
tana-Tonopah mine. With all the
smelters supplied with more ore than
they can handle, the Directors figured
that the output of the mine must be
reduced and that later the Smelter
Trust might refuse to take any ore at
all, and after an all-day session the
proposition of paying a dividend was
turned down. Mr.. Jordan says the
condition that has arisen is the most
peculiar. perhaps, in the history Of
mining, and he continues:
Ore Shipped to Denver.
The silicious ores of Tonopah and
Goldfield have proved tough nuts for
the smelters to crack, and this is why
there was no large increase in the ship
ments from this camp after the compile
tion of the broad guage into Tonopah.
The ore from the Reilly lease on the
Florence mine at Goldfield had to be
sent to the Globe smelter at Denver,
Col, the smelters at Salt Lake being
loaded. The Selby smelter has also it's
quota of ore, and the smelter at Everett
in Washington has enough silicious ore
on hand to keep it going for year.
Goldfield Shut Out Entirely.
While the ore output from Tonopah
has been greatly reduced. it is asserted
ON the best of authority that Goldfield
has been shut off entirely, with the ex-
ception of ore that goes 800 ton or
over. This condition of things is going
to make things dull in Tonopah
and Goldfield for some time to come
until the situation is relieved. To do
the latter, work is being rushed on the
big copper smelter in course of construc-
ton at Garfield, Utah, at least 500 men
being employed on the work.
In addition to this there is to be built
another smelter in the neigbborhood
of San Francisco bay. But it takes
months to build smelters, and unless
more direct assistance is 10 be had, the
period of dullness is going to be long
one. In this distressful situation ray
of hope springs from the west of the
camp, from the district known as Lone
Mountain.
Lead Properties in Great Demand.
In treating a ton of the silicious ore
of Tonopah and Goldfield, from four to
five tons of fuxing ores are required.
The smelters are short of lead ores for

Government Ownership.

/ do not believe in Government own
ership of anything which can with pro-
priety be left in private hands, and, in
particular, l should most strenuonsly
object to Government ownership of the
railroads. But l believe with equal
frmness that it is out of the question
for the Government not to exercise
supervisory and gulatory right over
the railroads; for it is vital to the we'll
being of the public that they should be
managed in spirit of fairness and JUS
tice toward all the public.

Old Laws Must BE Adjusted.

The old laws aud old customs, which
were adequate and proper to meet the
Id conditions, need radical adjustment
IN order to meet these new conditions.
The cardinal features in these changed
conditions are, first, the fact that the
new highway, the railroad. is, from the
commercial standpoint, of infinitely
greater importance to our industrial
life than was the old highway, the
wagon road; and, second, that this new
highway, the railway, is iu the hands
of private owners; whereas the old
highway. the wagon road, was in the
hands of the State. The management
Of the new highway, the railway, or
rather cf the intricate webs of railroad
lines which cover the country, is task
infinitely more difficult. more delicate,
md more important than the primitive,
easy task Of acquiring or keeping in
order the old highway; so that there is
properly no analogy whatever between
the two cases.

The Cause of the Abuse.

Actual experience has shown that it
is not possible to leave the railroads
uncontrolled. Such system. or rather
such a lack of system, is fertile in
abuses of every kind, aud puts a pre-
MUM upon unscrupulous and ruthless
GINNING in railroad management; for
there are some big shippers and some
railroad managers who are always will
ing to take unfair advantage of their
weaker competitors, and they thereby
force other big shippers and big rail-
road men, who would like to do decent
ly, into similar acts of wrong aud IN
justice. under penalty of being left be-
hind in the race for success. Govern
meut supervision is needed quite as
much in the interest of the big shipper
and of the railroad man who want to do
right as in the interest OF the small
shipper and consumer.

Final DeCIdmatCry Contest Held in
HiQh School Saturday Nioht.

The final declamatory contest
which decided who is to go to Mis-
soula as the representative of The local
high school in the state contest was
held in the assembly room Of the
high school building Saturday
evening and was well attended.
There were six contestants and
every one of them acquitted his or her
part in excellent style. Each showed
sepcial training and the judges had
a difficult time in determining upon
the winner. Charles Grupe who re-
cited ''The Soul of the Violin" was
declared first and will represent his
school in the contest which will be
held in Missoula about the middle of
the present month. That he has an
excellent chance to carry away the
honors, all who heard him Saturday
evening sincerely believe. He has a
piece which gives him fine oppor-
tunity to display his exceptional
abilities as a declaimer. He has a
good stage presence, his gestures are
unaffected and his voice is deep and
rich. Following is the program of
the contest Saturday evening:

Nearly One Million Pounds Have
Been Purchased Since the Last
Issue of the Democrat.
BIG BOWER BROTHERS CLIP SOLD
EsChIeman Representing Justice,
Bdtcman & Co., Captures Choice
Clip for High Figure.

Several months ago the prediction
was made to the Democrat that a
quarter of a dollar pound would be
paid for Fergus county wool. during
the year. That statement sounded
rather extreme at the time but it is
the general belief that the last week
has seen the prediction fulfilled.
Henry Eschleman, buyer for Justice
Bateman & Co., went out to Stanford
last week and purchased the immense
clip Of Bower Bros, estimated at 3OO.-
900 pounds and although the price has
not yet been made public, it is gener-
ally believed that it is between twen-
ty-four and twenty-five cents if it does
not actually reach the latter splendid
price.
Nh. Eschleman when seen by the
Democrat last evening said that he
could not give the price but that it
exceeds twenty cents" 1t is known
that "a cents has been offered for this
clip and refused and it is reasonable
to suppose that Mr. Eschleman's price
was over that. 1t is one Of the ban
ner clips of this state and there is al
ways scramble for it among buyers.
Since the last issue of the Demo-
crat, over 100000 pounds of wool
has changed hands in this county.
Thus far % cents is the lowest price
paid and the average price is consider
ably over % cents. Both Patterson
and Eschleman, the only buyers here
at the present time, have received tel
egrams within the last two days ad-
vising them to let up on buying for
the time. 1t is likely that the ac-
tivity will be resumed shortly how
ever, as there are great many de-
sireable clips yet undisposed OF in
this county. Taking as fact that
there will be five and a half million
pounds of wool raised in this county
this year, just about one-half of the
entire clip has been sold already.
Following are the sales for the last
week. Patterson represents Jermiah
Williams & Co, and Eschleman, Jus-
