Suicide Facts.

According to compilation recently
published, there were 7,643 suicides in
Prussia in 1908. The most remarkable
point about the statistics is that there
were more suicides in summer than in
winter. 1t appears, according to the
figures, that people have the least in
clination to quit this life on Saturday
and Sunday.

A Tariff Boomerang.

Without impugning in the
least the soundness of the argu'
ments by which the protective
tariff principle has become SC
firmly fixed as the industrial pol
icy of the country, it may be adj
mitted that the alleged intention
of Republican leaders to reduce
the fiscal deficits by raising du'
ties on the necessaries of life
will prove exceedingly unpopular.
A much more diplomat if not al
together wiser means OF accomp'
fishing the same purpose lies IN
the alternative proposition to lop
off s-few millions of unnecessary
government expenses, or IN al
most any rational plan other than
by making additions to the cost
of living, which has steadily
risen for the past few years ow-
ing to the unbodnded prosperity
of the country.
In one aspect the argument in
favor of, taxing the necessarles
of life is entirely sound, though
it is never highly popular per Sc.
But it is sound only to the point
of providing a tariff necessary to
protect the manufacturers and
the workmen engaged in produc-
ing the necessaries of life in this
country. Beyond that point,
save as a matter of dire revenue
necessity, it is utterly indefensi-
BILE. The entire internal revenue
system is based largely on the
vices, or at least the weaknesses,
of men, while the tariff system is
based on the two-fold necessity
of raising revenue and protecting
domestic industries and American
workingmeu.
The arbitrary and unnecessary
increase of taxes on some neces-
sities-coffee, for instance, which
is proposed-w would be hard to de-
fend at this juncture; at least it
would be policy whose results
might be hard to outyote at the
next election. = = - -

the piracy of the present system
of sacrificing their ores for the
profit of the smelling companies.
On the Abrams land, to the
west of the old Sunnyside prop
erty, the Eastman Investment
Company is meeting with marked
success, by the testing out of the
new system which it has install
led for the mining and milling of
the ores peculiar to this part of
the camp. The black rock, which
carries a good portion of zinc
ore, is very nearly the same
weight as the ore itself and tire.
quires fine grinding and close at
tention to recover the ore, as it is
a very easy matter for this finely
pulverized ore to float away with
the waste water from the jigs
and tables. This property turned
in Sc, 900 pounds of zinc ore last
week and has two cars left in the
bins.
After a large amount of work
the Mason mine has struck its
gait in producing, and is good
for two cars of zinc per week un-
der ordinary conditions. Last
week it turned in 64,190 pounds
of zinc ore, and still has some
left in the bins. This property
is located in a very interesting
part of the camp, as it is com.
pletely surrounded by other mines
and mills. The present manage.
ment is making a pace for this
property that will keep the other
big producers busy to keep ahead
of it in the producing column
each week.

n Serious Condition.

That the lead and zinc district
is in a serious condition there is
no doubt, and just what is to be
done to improve the matter is a
question. If something is not
done for the improvement of the
price of zinc ore there is going
to be a period of stagnation, no
telling of how long standing.
The United States Court of
Appeals has decided that Next
zinc ores can come into this coun.
try free of duty. This decision
has been the cause of great acc
tivity among the smelling in.
terests of the country, and many
fires will be started in them very
soon. The ore to be used by the
|smelters is going to come from
Mexico, and it can be delivered
to the smelters in this country
at cost not exceeding $40 per
ton. The mines of the lead and
zinc districts of Southwest Mis-
souri,, Southeast Kansas and
Northeast Oklahoma cannot com.
pete with these prices.
ALREADY five of the biggest
smelters in this country have
withdrawn from the market for
fhesores from this district. One
of the smeltermen says ore should
be sold in this district for S17 per
ton. It can not be done, and the
fellow knows it.
J SThe remedy is up to Congress,
and it is feared that Congress is
not going to give any measure of
relief that will be adequate. OF
course. the decision of the Court
of Appeals may prove a blessing
in disguise. It may stimulate
action enough to prod up the
members of the ways and means

The Good Luck was In the
turn-in column of the Baxter
Quapaw camp with 81, 800 pounds
of zinc ore to its credit, which ID
about the regular make Of con-
centrates at this mine each week.
This property has demonstrated
the worth of this section of the
camp, and has shown the result
of keeping at it, until they thor
oughly developed the under
ground, and as soon as the mill
was completed the supply of ore
was sufficient to keep the mill
going steadily with excellent re-
suits. Many of the other prop
critics in this camp should follow
in the same line and no doubt
would attain the same results.
J. C. Bryner reports that he
will mill several hundred tons of
ore from his lease on Sunburst
No. 3 this werk. The develop
ment has been proving very sat
isfactory. A steam outfit has
been enstalled at this diggings
and will be ready to start hoist
ing ore this week. Mr.. Bryner
has adapted the system at this
lease, of sorting the ore, and
thereby milling only the pay
dirt, which he feels is the proper
method to be employed in, work
ing this mine to the best adj
vantage.
LATE Griffith put the Omaha
property into the producing list
last week again, with a turnin
of AZ, 40 lbs. of calamine, which
topped the market for that grade
of zinc in the southwestern dis
trict.
Caulkins & Co. who have a
lease on the Joanna mine, are
hosting some fine sheet lead at
this property, together with high
grade calamine. This company
is making fine progress, and as
it is composed of all practical
miners, who are working the
diggings themselves, it bids fair
to become one of the big pro-
ducers of that section of the camp.
1t is only another case in which
it is exemplified that it takes men
who are interested in the prop
erty, and are practical miners
themselves to make good in many
cases where their predecessors
have failed utterly. Abundance
of ore is obtainable, and it must
be mined and prepared for mar
ket at the least possible expense.
Progress on the development
work at the Eastern lease is be-
ing pushed with fine results.
This property is we'll located and
from the amount of prospecting
already done, it shows that it has
a great future before it
: Three shafts are being worked
on the Big Jack lease, in the
town of Lincolnville, on which a
new mill is being installed. This
company is rushing the work on
the ground development with all
possible haste, so as to have suf-
ficient underground openings to
keep the mill going as soon as
completed.
The Old Abe turned in q Car
of zinc ore Saturday last.
Sweeney & Sons are turning

NEWS FROM
The MINES.

The Baxter-Quapaw and Mia
mi camps turned in the past week
7Os, 500 pounds of zinc ores, val
ued at S11, 045 and 81, $50 pounds
of lead ores, valued at $3.50,
making a total of ores for the
week from the Quapaw district
S13,271. This showing puts this
new district up along side of dis
tricts which have been producing
for years, such as Galena, Pros
perity, Duenweg, Badger, Pea
cock, and it stands away ahead
of many younger camps in the
Southwestern district. The only
camps which show much larger
production than the Quapaw dis
trict are Joplin and Webb City
Carterville, and this certainly
speaks very well for the Quapaw
district, as it is practically the
youngest district in the entire
Southwestern field.
With new energy being at
tracted to this phenomenal dis
trict, the future of it is assured,
and within the near future it will
take its place at the head of the
production list each week.
Thorough prospecting has
been going on continuously
throughout the entire Quapaw
reservation, for we'll nigh five
years. and while the drill strikes
were numerous and the develop
ments most encouraging, the out
put has been limited until recent
ly; the thoroughness of the pre-
liminary work is now just begin.

veloped virgin mineral ground,

BILE quantity of high grade lead

velopment and ready for the pro-
cess of extraction.
No other district has made the
rapid progress which the Qua
paw district has made and no
other has more prosperous out
look for the future than we have
right here at our own door.
Baxter Springs may well feel
proud to see the records of the
amounts of lead and zinc ores
which is being reported from the
Baxter Quapaw field each Sunday
morning, for the turn-ins for the
week ending the Saturday night
preceding.
Introducing new and novel
methods, for the facilitating and
expediting of the economic min
ing and reduction of ores, is ever
the thought of the progressive
mining engineer and operator,
and a long step has been made
IN this direction by the introduc-
ton of the especially construct
ed air shovels, made by the Chew
Shovel Company, of Lorraine,
Ohio makers of all kinds of
steam shovels, which this enter
prisiug firm has succeeded in in
stalling at the mines of the
American Zinc, Lead and Smelt-
ing Company, at Carterville, Mo.
This shovel is made much after
the style of the ordinary steam
shovel, but has been adapted to
the use for which it is intended,
that of shove'ing ore at the face
of the drifts in the mines into.
