The exclamation Of thlS lies prlmarilS in the management, for 1t has been dis' covered that at the Globe end many agreements were entered into, more par ticularly those involving treatment of custom ores, that resulted in a loss in stead of a profit.
 Last year the annual report showed that the treatment of the entire custom ore business of the year resulted m a reduction of total copper costs of but A cent per pound.
 old Dominion s high copper costs have always been matter of comment m mining and financial circles. The ex plantation has been that the large amount of new construction and develop ment work has been in large measure charged against copper costs, and it was expected that eventually, as this work decreased copper costs would seek lev el around 10 cents.
 Leading interests of Phelps, Dodge < Co. who have recently spent considerable time at the Old Dominion plant say 1 however, that there is not the slightest reason why costs should be above {! cents. and efforts will be devoted tC | bringing about this result. .. ! On previous production of about 3, | 300, ,OOO pounds of copper per month | jOO,OOO pounds per month came from tho
 treatment of the Old Dominion slag pile | but it has just been determined that af
 ter the purchase of the necessary sul iphide ores to flux this old slag the actua result on 13-cent copper was a loss rathe'
 than a profit.
 ! In addition to the above 500,00( pounds, above 70O,0s0 pounds represent
 ed custom ores, and it has been de
 termined that a large portion of thi'
 output represented no profit, while sat
 sfactOry profit has not been received i from the treatment of concentrates, tn,
 latter running too low in copper con tents.
 On the other hand, on 13-cent copper
 there has been a profit ranging from
 to Az cents per pound in the treatmen
 of the Old Dominion highgrade smelling
 ores, but this profit has been reduced b, ! the losses sustained in the treatment O. other ores.
 1 Therefore it is believed that the OlC Dominion hereafter will be able to shov as large profits on production of abOu | 2,OOO,OOO pounds per month as it did pre- vi0usly on an output ranging from 3,
 OOO,OO0 to 3,5OO,O0O pounds per month.

UNCLE SAM SEEKS STAMP vENDER.

Will the time ever come when Uncle Sam can
dispense with letter carriers? The increasing use
of the automobile. the pneumatic tube and me-
chancal devices in the postal service would indi-
cate that eventually some method of delivering
mail will be found which will in large measure,
do away with the present system of distribution.
The postotice department has an annual appro-
praton which is used to experiment with mechan-
ical devices. and every year the officials called
upon to investigate the practicabity and utility
of inventions There have been hundreds of differ
ent styles of mail boxes submitted and there is
no end of devices designed for picking up mail
bags by fastmoving express trains. There is no
doubt experts say, that the stamp-fxing
chine will come into general use. and they are
equally certain that the government will adopt
slot machines for the automatic sale of postage
stamps. Germany and numerous other foreign
countries have. The department has made an Off.
cia trial of such machines.
A little more than year ago the postmaster
general appointed special committee of officials
to make thorough investigation of the stamp.

extended public demonstration of these machines
and other cities also will have chance to try
them for a long period under the direct superv
sion of the postolIice authorities.
When the postmaster general decided to make
experiments with stamp-seihg machines he in
yited all persons with inventive tendencies to sub
nit models. He did not confine the invitation to
America. The result was that some IS machines
were offered for experiment. and the postotice
committee had long and tedious task in selecting
those that appeared to be practical

PAINT EVERY YEAR.
RIO One Wants to Do 1t, But Some
Paint Will Wear No Longer.

When you have a job of painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration-the proper
time to paint-the condition of the sur
face-the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered in
the specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company
1902 Trinity Building, New York,
and asking for Houseowner's Paint
ing Outfit No. 40. The outfit also in
cludes book of color schemes for
both interior and exterior painting,
and simple instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials.
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every houseowner.
Meantime while buying paint see that
every white lead keg bears the famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is an absolute guarantee of purity and
quality. If your paint dealer cannot
supply you National Lead Company
will see that some one else will.

THE TWO SIDES OF HISTORY.
Some Pertinent Observations Made by
Writer Evidently Not Fond of
Subject

History is running account OF how
King Somebody -or-other either did or
did not get to a certain place, which
nobody ever heard Of before King
Somebody-else got there, from which
we are usually supposed to conclude
that it would have made quite a differ
ence whether he did not not.
Like nearly everything else, history
has two sides. The history of the
Garden of Eden depends upon wheth-
er 1t is related by man or a wom-
an. The history of the American rev.
olution reads quite different in Eng
fish books from the way it reads in
our own books. The history of the
civil war depends upon which side OF
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write It.
History is a bore not only because
you are unacquainted with the people
who figure in it, but because it repeats
itself-Life.

of Mexico there are lots and lots of
men who exc out their liyings doing
Just this thing. For the man who
doesn't have to fish for the devil-fish,
\ fun, but to the man or crews of
men who do it for their daily bread:
well, they content themselves with a
single catch day.
Aristotle of old is recorded in his
tory as the first writer On the sub
ject of devil-fishing, but as he was
exceedingly fond of Mr.. Aristotle's
health he left lots unsaid because he
didn't investigate.
Every Gulf of Mexico sailor who
fishes for this creature carries
Ratchet close by, for that is the only
means of getting away from the tish's
tentacles-si simply cutting them off as
they are about to grasp the intended
victim.
In the gulf the devil-fsh is har-
pooned and seldom after one of these
great prongs has been imbedded in
the body of the victim are the fisher
men able to land their quarry within
two hours. Usually it takes from
three to four hours of good. hard mus
cle-grinding work and then lots of
times the crew of the hunting craft
must cut the cable and lose the har-
poon simply because the brute fights
too hard to allow the occupation to
be carried on safely. 1t is little
wonder that one fish a day of this
variety is considered sufficient.
Many wild. weird tales are told of
the devil-tish. One class of stories
deals with the creatures addiction to
towing ocean-going steamers out of
their courses. So strong is the deep
sea monster that captains of vessels
have been known to wonder what
was carrying them to windward and
