In Appropriate Apparel.

The brethren of all the lodges who can
join in the marching line will appear at
tired in dark clothing and wearing the
portant in Masonry and the white gloves,
which befit such ceremony and add to the
appearance Of the line, although not pos
sesSing the significance of the apron. The
Grand Lodge will be opened by Grand
Master WoOdman and his associate officers
in the Master Mason degree, and the rules
govern ( the procession to and from the
site of tie temple corner New ork avenue,
II and 18th streets northwest, will be read
by the proper officers.
The Grand Lodge will then proceed to
open under the first or entered apprentice
degree for the purpose of permitting all
members of the fraternity who have not
yet been raised to what is known in Ma
SOnry as the sublime degree to partlcl-
pate in the ensuing proceedings. This is
according to Masonic practice and designed
to recognize the important part ever played
by apprentices and craftsmen In temple
building from the time of Kings Solomon
and Hiram TO the present day. In the case
of the Washington temple this provision
for permitting them TO take part, although
OF itself a very ancient landmark, has
added significance in the TACT that a
number of the present WOrShipful masters
of lodges, and senior and junior wardens
as well. have entered the order and passed
the subordinate chairs and now sit in the
Grand Lodge who have been entered ap-
prentices and felloWcrafts since the Ma
sonic Temple project was hrst preached.
The project was suggested in Columbia
Commandery, X. T.. over ten years ago
by John Henry Small jr:, subsequently
grand master of Masons QSI3), who has
from the beginning been considered father
of the enterprise and is now president of
the Masonic Temple Association.

THE PRICE OF COPPER.

The lower price for copper in Lon
don yesterday in view of all the cir
cumstances, might have been expect
ed to have had much greater effect
upon the New York market than it
did have. Holders of copper company
shares, therefore, have cause for con-
graduation in noting that the break
in New York was only an eighth of a
cent all along the line. This would
indicate that the control of copper in
this country is sufficiently centralized
to enable the holders to fight a heavy
reduction.
We see no cause for altering our
prediction written Immediately after
the financial disturbance made it's ap-
pearance in Wall street, spreading
thence throughout the country, that
copper would attain Is cents within
three months from that time. The
demand, as we have frequently point
ed out, is an existing fact that must
be supplied and at present prices
there is little copper being sold The
only danger is that when it shall
reach Is cents there will be such an
unloading that the price will again
drop.
A contingency like that, though,
would seem to be amply guarded
against by Capitalization of control
of the metal stocks. Such control is
indicated by the firm maintenance of
price against adverse conditions. as
was seen on the New York metal ex-
change yesterday-Reno State Jour
nal.

A DESERVED SHOT.

We are mighty tired of the bust
ness angels of the east turning them.
selves loose and venting their spleen
upon the mining industry. Recent
occurrences in Wall street do not
show this criticism to be warranted
Especially does it Ill become the pub
fishers of Everybody's, magazine
which was unheard of until it was
taken up and boosted into publicity
by the greatest mining advertiser and
promoter this country has known, to
classify mining as necessarily fraud
ulent. There are some fraudulent
operators who have associated them
selves with mining promotions but
because few black sheep have en-.
tered the fold is no reason why the
whole mining business should be
ranked as bad. The guilt of num-
Der of people who have made mining
the medium for swindling has been
amply proven and the Mining In
weston has aided to bring them to
Justice. But if because the guilt OF
a comparatively few has thus been
proven is the reason why Everybody s
refuses to take mining advertise
ments, then that publication must, to
be consistent, certainly refuse bank
ing advertisements because some
cashiers and bank presidents have
stolen the bank funds; they must
then turn out all insurance advertise
ments because graft in insurance cir
cles has been amply proven and so the
publishers must go down the line and
ndUnrf icnn1nnt np
fered because in every walk of life
there is crime in some shape or other.
We take it that crime is crime and
that it is not any more creditable to
steal the funds of bank than to lie
about mine.
Let us further advise with Mr.
Ridgway and tell him that the real
mining industry as we apply it in the
west is not the plaything of the mo-
ment or something which is built up
for the purpose of inducing small
wage earners to part with their saw
ings. The rapid increase in the
wealth of the west is largely due to
the great riches earned from min
ing. 1t is an industry of vast pro-
portions conducted by the brightest
anu III ny Jul Ntdltll-
lest and most prominent business and
professional men. Very many of our
bankers owe their positions to the
wealth gained in following the min
ing industry. In the west mining is
no get-rich-quick scheme but a legiti-
mate business which thousands fol-
low and to criticise 1t as Ridgway
does, is to heap insult upon these
thousands. If the Ridgway company
seeks to exclude mining advertise
ments from Its columns let it seek
and express the real cause for so do
ing. To classify the hole mining in
dustry as get-rich-quick scheme as
Everybodys is now doing, is a gross
and infamous libel. To exclude the
advertising because of the ignorance
of the publishers concerning the in
dustry would be to state the real
cause and would be the straightfor-
ward and honorable course to follow.

AMERICANS GET BIG ORDER
British Admiralty Awards Contract
for Motors on This Side.

American interests have secured
what is said to be the largest con-
tract for motors ever let in Great
Britain, either by government oil
private interests. The contract, which
was secured in competition with all
the large British manufacturers and
awarded by the admiralty, calls fol
the installation of 800 Westinghouse
motors in the new navy yards al
Davenport in the south of England
The motors, which will run from to
500 horsepower each, are for driving
the machine tools and other equip
ment. The value of the order is
about 100000.
This is the second contract that
the Westinghouse interests have Sc
cured for motors in tie Davenport
works, theformer one being for the
equipment of cranes used in the
plant. AS the British makers have
hitherto prided themselves on then
motors, the placing of the contract
with American interests has caused
no end of comment in the trade
journals and public press of that
country. The placing of the order
with the Westinghouse interests is
taFen in the trade here as a double
Endorsement of the American type OF
motor, because, as is well known, the
British admiralty subjects the motors
to severe test, being an overload of
so per cent from the indicated ca
pacity of the machine. 1t is expected
that the motors will be made in the
Pittsburg works of the company, and
then shipped to be finished and as
sembled in the Trafford Park plant
in Manchester, Eng.
When it is considered that the
British manufacturers raised storm
of protest over the installation of the
small crane motor order, the result
of the placing of a contract for 800
motors, one of the largest orders ever
placed for this kind of equipment by
their own government. and the dis
turbance created may well be APP
preclated on this side.

THE GOLDFIELD FIGHT.

The situation at Goldfield war
rants, as wen as may be judged from
a distance, expectation of a long
drawn out fight, accompanied by more
or less violence at some stage of the
game. The attitude of the mine own
ers is determined. Opposing them
are men known to have inclination
and will to carry out desperate plans,
men who have done more to retard
the progress of development in min
ing districts and to make capital
timid of investment in mining enter
prises than any other combination of
causes. Not only this but they have
brought odium upon organized labor,
have made for unsettled conditions,
trouble, murder and assassination.
AS has been their policy in the
past, the agitators caught planning
the destruction Of life and property
of others, are now crying at the be-
ginning of trouble that the other fell
low is preparing to slaughter them.
The News does not err in stating that
the great majority of miners in the
country, union and non-union, would
rejoice in their hearts if they could
feel that such would be the outcome
OF the present contest. They would
feel easier with knowledge that the
riff-raff responsible for the present
strike at Goldfield, high graders.

further bullying, further robbery and
further insolence from the walking

not only Goldfield but of all of
the country will be with them in their
attitude and will be glad If they wine
