Coal for fuel can be secured from the

probably too low in volatile matter
for use in rotary kilns. The best

the Fairmont, w Va. mines. This
coal can be shipped to Martinsburg
for $3.50 ton.
In addition to the cement manufac-
ture, comparatively small additional
expense would add the equipmnt for
crushing rock for ba last and for
crushing the high-grade rock for use
as fiux in the steel works at Baltimore
and Pittsburg. The screenings would
be available for concrete work rhe
high-grade rock as well as the beds

has BANQUET
% Honor to u. S. Fish Com
missioner Bowers.
HANDSOME WATCH PRESENTED
Excellent Menu Served and Speeches
of Complimentary Character
Are Made.

As return for the faYoFs shown
them In past years, the members of
the Phalarope Planked Shad club gave
a banquet to Hon. George NJ. Bowers,
United States Fish Commissioner, at
the Hotel Berkeley on Friday evening.
1t was held in the dining hall of the
hotel and all things we're appointed,
appropriately. for the occasion
The first part OF the evening was
given over to the testing of the ex-
cellent fare prepared by T. w. Martin
1t was the common opinion that he
did himself proud" One member
said that it was the most delicious fare
he ever tasted The menu was as
follows:
Manhattan Cocktails
Little Neck CLANS
Radishes Olives
Soft Shell Crabs on Toast
Saratoga Chips
Fried Spring Chicken
Lettuce Tomato Salad
Neapolitan Ice Cream Assorted Cakes
Roquefort Cheese Crackers
Coffee Champagne
Cigars
AT the conclusion of the feast the
members assumed easy positions,
cigars were lighted, and for an hour
speechmaking complimentary to the
guest of the evening was INDUCED in.
Senator Faulkner presided with his
usual ability and dignity The speak
ers, generally, recalled that Mr.. Bow
ers went into the office of fish com
missioner when young and against the
wishes of some who favored an older
man and scientist. It was said last
night that he had brought the com
mission up to high state Of eff.
fciency.
A number of letters were received
from members who were out of town
and who we're unable to get home in
IluuS lOr Tue SpEcdd.
AT the conclusion of the banquet
Mr. Bowers was presented with a
handsome jeweled gold watch as ID
token of the esteem in which he Is
he'd by the members of the club. He
was taken by surprise but was able TO
make a fitting response
Those who sat around the banquet

SMELTER CLOSES DOWN
FOR USUAL REPAIRS

The plant of the United States
Smelling and Reduction company in
South Canon closed down yesterday
for the purpose of cleaning up the
fiues. bag rooms and making some
needed repairs to the buildings and
machinery.
1t has been the custom of the com
pany to suspend operations for a
short time at intervals of two or
three years and the present close
down is in conformity with that
policy 1t was not the intention of
the management, however, to in
augurate the cleaning up process until
after the first of January, but the
recent falling off in the demand for
white lead. which is the principal
product of the plant. affords the COM
pauy an opportunity to do so now at
u minimum of loss and they are tax
ing advantage of it.
The plant will be reopened as soon
as the paint market reajdusts itself.
1t is believed that something like
six weeks will be required to give
the machinery the overhauliDg 1T
needs, and. by that time. it is expect
ed the market for paint will have
become normal

selves in this connection. With the
rapid growth OF the mail order bust
are being established. These large
firms are daily reaching out for new
sections Of trade. What will be the
result along this line? With the
growth of the catalogue house comes
the death of the rural mercantile
trade. Let them once destroy the
country merchant and the markets
of the world will be in the hands of a
few wealthy capitalists. Their branch
houses will appear in all the country
towns and the farmer will no longer
be independent. His friend, the coun.
try dealer, who through competition
was forced to pay the value Of the
butter, eggs, etc, will be thing of
the past, and in his place will appear
the fat, gloating face of the capitalist,
in whose benumbed conscience there
contains instead of a heart a great
lump Of cold stony gold, whose one
ambition is to build up greater for
tune than the world has ever seen,
and who cares naught for the tears or
trials, woes or weeping of his victims
SO long as he can squeeze little more
Of the coveted glittering treasure from
him.
Again, the dollar spent with the
local dealer stays in the community
where it blesses the spender over and
over again. The merchant pays 1t to
the butcher for meat, the butcher gets
his bread of the baker and therefore
drops the dollar into the bakers till,
the baker pays 1t to the miller for
-four and the latter buys his grain
from the farmer, SO the dollar once
more jingles merrily in the farmers
trousers pocket. But spend it with
the mail order house and 1t is gone
never to return. 1t goes to build up
the great commercial interests of New
York or Chicago. Does 1t pay the
farmer to send his money to help
beautify and build up these great
cities? Has he not more interest in
beautifying and building up his own
section of the country? II not. he
should. If place is good enough for
a man to live in and to make his
money in, it Is good enough for him to
spend his money in. Who helps build
the churches, school houses streets,
bridges, etc.? Does the mail order
house help? Will they give dollar
to educate the farmers children, or
donate anything to support the farm
er's widow or orphans? Do they help
to pay the taxes. or add anything to

Wyomine's Mineral outlook.

So much has been reported OF late
in regard to discoveries of gold and
other minerals at several points in the
northwestern part of Wyoming, that
one is induced to believe that the sec
ton in question may have a great fu-
ture.
1t has been a matter of common re-
mark that few valuable gold and silver
discoveries have been made in Wyom-
ing, Notwithstanding so much OF both
those metals has been found in Mon
tana on the north and Colorado on the
south Whether this will always be
true is for the future to decide; but
there is good reason to believe that
the failure to make good strikes has
been in large measure due to lack OF
thorough prospecting.
Wyoming is a large state. and much
of 1t has been isolated. 1t is only re-
Gently that railroads entering the
northwestern quarter have made the
mountains of that part accessible.
OF course, IL any one had discovered
a rich deposit of gold the remoteness
OF the country would not have kept
men from rushing in by the thousands.
They crossed the plains in 40 because
of the discovery of gold in California,
and few years ago they thronged to
the Klondike. But the fact that no
one ever stumbled upon rich gold
deposit in Wyoming is by no means
saying that no one will do SO in the
future.
The mountains OF Northwestern Wy
oming will be better prospected this
year than ever before. and discoveries
may be made that will start the STAN
pede for which that part of the coun-
try has waited for so many years.

Breckenridge Placers.

Another big dredge, perhaps two
will be launched by the Colorado Gold
Dredging Company. AS these boats
will be larger than the others, they
are expected to draw out more metal.
1t Is believed that the recovery from
this property will be more than dou-
bled.
Preparations are now being made
for operations on the Shutdown placer
in Illinois gulch. William Squires and
associates, the owners, have concluded
prospection. 1t was learned that gold
was found in paying quantities.
ID. A. Mcdonald, dredgemaster, has
arrived from California to overhaul the
Reliance dredge in French creek. The
most important alteration being con.
sidered is the substitution of electric
ity for steam in the entire operation.
This change will be made possible by
improvements at the generating plant
on which b. Stanley Revett recently
acquired an option.
Plans have been drawn by Col Lem.
uel Kingsbury for improvements at
the Buffalo placer, near Dillon. His
plant at Breckenridge, recently in.
stalled, is in good condition for i'm.
mediate performance. Profits were
earned during the initial run, which
began last season. Owners and oper.
ators of all placers containing pay dirt
are planning for development on com.
prehensive lines.
