the order of the board gives the fifty
eight creameries the monopoly OF the
trade to the exclusion Of the Conti-
mental. This statement is as false as
was the statement of rates that pro-
vided for Topeka and the Topeka
purity with relation to its interstate
competitors, as is evidence by the
fact that the price that is paid by
the Continental creamery company
is a flat rate in cents per pound OF
butter fat contained in the cream
and that price is the same whether
paid to a producer of cream within
90 miles of Topeka, where the ex-
press rate is Is cents, or 300 miles
of Topeka where the express rate
is as cents, and this price is based
upon quotation made by a commit
tee Of five men located at Elgin, Ill.
with reference to the application
of these rates to the producer OF
cream, II the price of butter fat
should be reduced one cent on ac-
count Of the increase in rates for any
distance under 800 miles and over
100 miles, such decrease would rep
resent an added profit to the cream
cry company making the same over
that now enjoyed, or more than nine
tenths of cent, as the increase in
rates for these longer distances Is
only approximately one per cent over
the interstate schedule. In my opin-
ion the producers Of cream are not
affected by the schedule of cream
rates ordered by the board. "-Tope-

newspaper argument Mr.. Doran uses
a hypothetical rate into Topeka, ar
rived at by charging the sums of the
locals on a Two line service, plus a
transfer charge, which action on his
part is absolutely unwarranted under
any possible construction of the order
of the board of the locals for two
line haul is provided, adding to this a
transfer charge and in addition 1t has
been stated repeatedly to Mr.. Doran
both by myself, and the members OF
the board, that wherever the Inter
state Commerce Commission permits
the establishment of single line mile
age for a two line service on inter-
state shipments, the board Will forth
with grant similar relief to the Con-
tinental Creamery company or any
other Kansas concern that might be
affected,
."The article referred to asks the
producers of cream and creamery
products to look up the map with
reference to the cream rate ad
r1ent. While they hre looking ct the
map II they will draw red pencil
line around the counties on Doni-
phan, Brow1, Atchison Nemaha, Mar
shall and Washington they will have
the territory in which the Continen-
tai company strictly refrains from So
liciting business; the cream from
this territory going to the Beatrice
Creamery company, the parent OF the
alleged creamery combine. Draw
another red line around the counties
of Johnston, Miami Allen, Woodson,
Crawford, Neosha, Wilson, Chero-
kee, Labette and Montgomery and
you will find the territory from
which the cream goes to the Kansas
City branch OF the alleged combine,
while the product from approximate
ly the western one-third Of the state
goes to Denver, another one Of the
allied creameries. Looking at the
map again there is creamery at
Harper, Kansas, from the immediate
territory Of which the Continental
Creamery company in the year OF
1908, took S,446 cans Of ten gallons
each; the cream from which territory
must Of necessity have been shipped
through the door-yard Of from three
to four other Kansas creameries.
Approximately ten years ago Kan
sas had three hundred creameries as
against the present fifty-nine. The
conditions as cited above as existing
at Harper, must OF necessity tell a
story well worthy OF the serious con-
sideration of every producer and con-
sumner Of creamery products. To
give the readers a concrete example,
would 1t be to the best interests Of
the state to have one big department
store to serve the citizens their dry
goods and groceries?'

were highly pleased with what they
saw and will arrange shortly to start
operations on the property.
Men have been at work the past
month and half cleaning out the
levels and timbering the shaft down
to the 300. When this is finished
work Of retimbering the shaft below
the 300 will be started. The shaft is
500 feet deep but no work has ever
been done below the 450-foot level on

Arao viii Resume the First.

The Argo Leasing company, which
has had lease on the Argo mine
for some time, will again resume
work the first Of the month. Work on
the Argo was first started a year ago
and was continued until April, when
operations were suspended on ac-
count of water. The mine was idle
two months and work was again
started and continued for three
months. Nothing has been done with
the mine of late. The water is now
down to the back of the 200 level
and is fast disappearing.
The shaft is down 2S7 feet and
when the property was last worked
drifting was prosecuted in the 200
and 265. The first-class ore shipped,
Of gray copper variety, averaged
$4,000 to the ton and the second
class went from $500 to $4,000. The
Argo is in a splendid location, being
right across from the Pittsburg. With
no water to interfere, operations can
be conducted steadily and at a pro-
fit. Harry Willis will have charge of
operations and as he is an old ex-
perienced miner can be looked to for
good reports.

PitchbIende, How to Recognize It.

| Pitchblende occurs in fissure veins
in igneous rocks like granite. It is
valued for it's uranium and radiun
f! contents. 1t Is not found in sedimen
tary rocks like sand alone, although
alteration products of it may be
found therein. Such alteration pro
ducts are colored yellow or greenish
and, when in sufficient concentration
and quality, are valuable for their
uranium contents. The radium value
in these is small, as a rule.
Pitchblende is found in vein mat
ter in stringers varying from knife
blade thickness to several inches.
1t is "bunchy" The associated min
erals in addition to vein matter are
sulphides such as zinc blende, galena,
and iron pyrite. The latter usually
predominates. 1t is detected in these
streaks by the following properties:
Color.-Pitch black, brownish some
times with grayish or greenish cast
The streak on rough porcelain, i. e.,
the edge of broken plate, brown
ish black, olive green or grayish.
Luster.-Dull,m metallic, greasy, pitch
like.
Fracture.-Conchoid that is with
smooth curved surfaces, to uneven.
Brittle.
Hardness.-Less than quartz. 1t is
not scratched by knifeblade unless
weathered.
Specific Gravity.-Heavier than
iron or steel. Also heavier than ga
lena.
The following common metals are
likely to be mistaken for pitchblende
by prospectors:
Obsidian or Volcanic Glass, which
differs from pitchblende in it's light
ness, CLASSY luster, and light streak.
Magnetic, which differs from pitch
blende mainly in that it is attracted
by the magnet.
Hematite, which differs from pitch.
blende mainly in possessing a red
streak.
