LEAD AND ZINC.

James f. Callbreati4, secretary of
The American Mining congress, sees
a bright future for the lead and zinc
aiming industry and declares that
owners of lead and zine mines are to
be congratulated on the result Of the
recent tariff agitation affecting these
metals. In Goldfieid interview,
Mir. Cal breath speaks of the new tar
iff bill in this way:
The bill makes no change what
ever. in the lead tariff from what it
was in the Dingley bill. but main
tains the 2 liz cent rate. 1t will,
however, maintain the stability of the
lead and zinc markets and afford a
chance for the price of lead to go
above 5 cents again, whereas If the
tariff had been removed or materially
cut down, the heavy shipments that
would be sent in from Mexico would
areatly reduce the price OF the Ameri
strong effort being made to cut down
the tariff, we showed how, under the
protective tariff, millions of dollars
had been invested in development OF
mines and the building Of smelling
and reduction plants, and that re-
duct:on in the tariff would practically
annu! all this work and expenditure
and close down many of the institu
tons that had bee built up under the
the protective tariff. To Senator Hey
burn is probably du ethecredit Of win
ming the the final round of the bat
tie i'll favor Of maintaining the Ding
ley rates."

THE GoLDFIELD PLAN.

The silver question promises to
add luster to the deliberations Of the
Goldfield Mining congress. Optimists
predict that some plan will be sug-
gested and adopted providing for the
more general use Of silver. This has
resolved itself into a purely CONNER
cial question, and from the tenor OF
correspondence, appears that the sub.
ject will be handled by some Of the
most eminent financiers OF the east
ern states. 1t is the eastern manufa !
turer that suffers from the restric-
tion of trade with the Orient owing
to the disparity between the money
standards Of the east and west. Mex
leo is another nation that is TAX
ing an active interest In the discus
sion. as it's rich silver mines have
deprecated so rapidly that the coun.
try is brought to an acute realiz-
alton of what 1t has to face in the
monetary world. There Is no doubt
that Canada will be. represented BY
a large delegation from Cobalt, that
famous silver camp, which produces
the white metal at cost of 5 to Z
cents an ounce Should solution
of the question be forthcoming it will
be recognized by the world as the
"Goldfield plan," from the fact that
it was conceived and brought into
existence at this meeting. President
Roberts of the Commercial National
bank of Chicago. formerly director
of the mint, scouts the idea that any
artificial value Is to be impaired to
silver through the mere act of pur,
chasing. Like other commodities. the
meal will be bought in the cheapest
market and sold In the highest, and
no buyer of silver is going to pay
even fraction of cent more than
the quotations simply for the pur-
pose of stimulating demand. The
nearest approach to correction of the
evil Of cheap silver is the prospect
of the Chinese loan calling for mil
lions wherewith to build trunk line
OF railroad that means probably the
entering wedge in the construction
of national system involving hun
dreds of millions of dollars. This will
create genuine demand for circu
1ating money and furnish a legit
innate field for export.
With this idea in mind 1t is evil
dent that President Taft was awake
TO the Importance of securing share
OF the recent Chinese loan for the
bankers of this country. England
will take care OF the Canadian min
ers, but so long as there is no def
mite centralized policy there can not

leading gold camp of the nation, dc

The decrease Of over 100000
pounds of copper according to the
July statement of the Copper Pro-
ducers' association, practically wipes
out the accumulation of the previous
six months, and giver firmer tone
to the metal market. The actual de-
liyelv for the months of july was ex-
ceedlngly large, being 10000, 900
pounds in excess of the two pre-
vi0us months. OF the $50, 500 ,057
pounds Of copper delivered during
the month the amount. for export and
that taken for domestic consumption
We're practically the same, being a
little over. $4,000, 900 pounds each.
1t now begins to look as though the
price of the metal is good for an
advance to around fifteen cents per
pound by the first of the year.

Very rarely does titled soil have an
excess of humus or decayed vegetable
matter which gives looseness and some
fertility to the soil and makes 1t work
nicely. 1t is for this reason that the
small grain stubble should, as a rule,
be plowed under and not burned. as
some are in the habit of doing. This
may save some work. but 1t Is really a
handicap to the soil.
