ROCKEFELLER AUTOBIOGRAPHY
THE RICHEST MAN HAS WRITTEN
HIS LIFE FOR PUBLICATION.
1t Deals With Golf. Tree Planting and
Philanthropy ps Well as with standard
Oil, the Ethics OF Rebates and the Elim-
ination of Competition In Business.


John D. Rockefeller is writing a sketch Of
his life which. as he will state in his intro
duction to the published work, is designed
-to shed light on matters that have been
somewhat discussed" The Worlds Work is
to publish the sketch as serial.
Some Random "Reminiscences of Men
and Events is the title Of Mr.. Rockefeller's
autobiography. 1t will begin in the October
number Of the magazine. One of the
editors said last night that his staff had been
working with Mr.. Rockefeller over the
articles for the last three months and that
the author had spent much pains in revising
and rewriting. The series is about all
written now.
Il have come to see." Mr. Rockefeller
says in introduction. that II my family
and friends want a record Of things which
may shed light on matters that have been
somewhat discussed it ia right that | should
yield to their advice and in this informal
way go over again some of the events which
have made life interesting to me-"
OF his boyhood and early life he will have
little to say, nor does his series adhere
strictly to a consecutive narration of events.
He will discuss golf and travel as well as
what he thinks OF the Standard Oil Company
as model Of executive perfection. Much OF
what he writes has to do with an apprecia-
ton of the men who joined with him in build
ing up the company, and he will not overlook
an appraisement OF many others in public
life who have In ono way or another come
into business or personal relations with him.
In the opening chapters Of his contri-
button Mr. Rockefeller will review his early
struggles to get a start in life. tell OF the
first hazards that surrounded ventures
into the oil trade and recount the history
OF the first amalgamations OF the oil refners
into what has become the Standard COM
pany. In writing of the later phsases OF
the Standards business and the long strug-
gle between the company and the courts,
the retired head Of the trust will discuss
frankly. 30 it is said by his publishers, the
whole question OF rebating. the ethics OF
forcing smaller competitors out OF busi.
ness and the principles Of railroad control
and economy OF energy and materials,
cluded in Mr.. Rockefellers series OF arti-
cles He will have something TO say on the
philosophy and conduct OF business in
general and will give high praise to the in
tegrity and earnestness OF the American
business man. On the subject Of philan-
thropy he will expound his ideas about
giving effectively and set forth his stand
ards OF efficient charity.
The author OF the "reminiscences will not
omit some Of his personal foibles. He will
tell why he takes pleasure in road building.
surveying. tree planting and golf: The
latter sport he believes to he great train
ing in the moral law. 1t Ia said by the pub
fishers that Mr.. Rockefeller exhibits through
out a quality with which he has never been
credited by his several biographers-real
humor.

ized in the Bullfrog district, where four mills have already been erected and others must naturally follow. In some camps the mere mention of mill ing 4O$ ore would be treated with scorn, no doubt; nevertheless, this IS what the combination mill, at Gold field is doing at the present time, ac- cording to reports. The new Consoli- dated mill will probably handle large quantities of rock which would be shipped direct to smelters by other To- calities. The future of Nevada mining will be so much matter of milling that these present developments are well worth watching.
 An interesting phase of the subject is the possible effect of this branch of metallurgy upon the smelling inter- ests. Gold production is far from be- ing under the control of the shelter trust, the institution which is often berated as, a tyrannical monster, be cause of its alleged maltreatment ol ore producers. Cripple Creek has m large measure freed itself from smel ters, though it is indirectly made sub servient to the smelter trust through the control by the latter of the 50 called milling trust, the United States Refining and Reduction company That this loss of power, due to inde- pendent methods of reducing gold ores to bullion, is appreciated by the shelter combine is evidenced by its action of this week in lowering treat ment charges on Cripple Creek ores. What measure of similar sentiment is indicated by the combines recent ad- vances in the treatment charges on Nevada ores would be difficult to de- termine. It is certain that this or ganization is not sacrificing any op- portunity to make the most of a situ- ation so perilous to itself. It may pro- fess not to care much about Nevada ores, as it did in recent statement, but let us not be deceived by such pro- fessions.-Denver Mining Record.

It occurred on the east side of the Plo. mosa range of mountains, twenty miles west of Salome, on property being de. veloped hy the McEntee Bros. They have a group of claims which they have hitherto believed were valuable copper holdings. They are down about fifty feet in shaft they are sinking, in pursuance of their annual assessment work.

Milling in Nevada.

The early erection of great mill ing plant by the Goldfield Consolidat- ed interests at Godfeld will be one of the important events of 1908 in that camp. The significance of the i'm proyement lies in this, that there is to be comparatively little wastefulness in the production of gold bullion from the bonanza district. It has been quite the usual history of rich depos- i's of gold ore that they are mined without proper regard to possible economies, due to the impatience of mine owners. This has been especially true in wild sections, where the diff ficulty of transportation is felt and it is hard to procure the other facilities for economic production and reduction. Good grades of ore have been discarded and often left to be handled by sub- sequent generation.
 The policy of the Goldfield Consol- dated, as well as of the Tonopah Min ing company and several mines in the Bullfrog district, is certainly one of supreme wisdom. The maximum de- gree of productivity on the ground now will insure the greatest profit upon the outstanding stock. There need be no delay in making the lower grade of ore contribute to the total result. This truth is apparently real
