When he came to the ant-hill. he
found companions and honey alike
gone. He went on to the cocoanuts.
There he came upon Winthrope
stretched fiat beside the skin of hon

way beyond, nervously bending a
palm-leaf into shape for hat.
Il say, Blake" drawled Winthrope,
you've been a deuced long time in
coming. 1t was no end of a task to

Blake brushed past without reply

Thought you might like posies," he
said, in hesitating voice.
Instead of taking the flower, she
lrew back with a gesture of repul-

"Oh. take 1t away" she exclaimed.
Blake flung the rejected gift on the
ground. and crushed 1t beneath his

Jurors each step in the test and the final
result
Federal regulations provide that butter
containing Is per cent or more Of water
is TO be taxed as "adulterated" The ques-
ton OF the water content OF the confiscated
butter made by the West Point Creamery
company is subOrdinated In the action be-
fore the court to the differences over the
definition OF a manufacturer OF adulterated
butter The West Point company contends
that admitting butter containing more than
the legal content OF water may have been
turned out OF the plant by accident. Il was
not and is not in the business Of making
adulterated butter by purpose and design.
Therefore, the plaintiffs say. they should
not be taxed Tor a business in which they
are not engaged
In the pursuance OF the program out
lined in support OF the contention Thomas
Case. the butter maker, is tesufying for
the purpose OF showing the care which the
company has been taking 10 measure the
water content OF its products. The com
pany Is seeking TO thereby make good the
declaration that the manufacture OF butter
designated as adulterated because OF the
excess moisture was purely accidental and
incidental to the conduct OF It's Industry.

property a distance Of about 5000 feet to
the ore bodies. This big tunnel through
which the bulk OF the ores Will be hauled
by electric trains, Is within 400 feet of
completion. and il will facilitate the un-
derground development greatly when
completed. The Colorado shaft, which is
located southwest 2i00 feet from the Joe
Bush shaft and 400 feet from the Scor-
pion shaft. is now over $50 feet In depth.
and in the immediate vicinity Of this
shaft several drill holes have shown be-

poses, in time when conditions justify It
will the smelling companies OF the coun-

This waste is about the first thing that
imprcsses the visitor to the average Smol-

noon 10 The Tribune.
He pointed out that the visitor 10 the
smelters is told that there are such ele-
ments as sulphur, arsenic and particles
OF metal pouring out into the open air
Via the huge stacks, and the question
naturally comes as 10 the possibility OF
saving these elements. This question
after all boils down to a matter Of en-
Nironment.
In Tennessee, where there are large
deposits OF phosphates. and where the de-
mand for fertilizers Is great, the smell
ters there can manufacture sulphuric
acid. a market for which Is at hand with
the phosphate interests, Where the mar

With companies operating with the

elements which heretofore have been sent
out into the air as waste, yet this sys-
tenn has been used only In Utah In lead

therefore. on general conditions adjacent

ALL THE WORLD
IS CURTAILINC
Movement Among the Copper
Producers Is Worldwide
in Scope.
PRICE OF METAL
LEFT TO ITSELF
John D. Ryan Considered the
Commanding Figure in
Copper Circles.

For the first time in quite a while the
copper producers are in a position tc
name their own price for the metal, with
the consumer playing second fiddle. But
that the adjustment OF the price OF cop
per was not part and parcel of the
agreement recently entered into by the
producers to curtall their output only
incident to the improved situation
is vouched for j. w. Prentlss OF Horn
blower g. Weeks, New York. Mr. Prem
tiss Is quoted as follows. by Gay g. Stur-
gis:
Il am told on very excellent authority
that this curtailment of copper is 4
world curtailment and will be rellgously
carried out No effort will be made TO
put the price OF the metal up, because 1t
is particularly desired that no drawback
should be allowed To interfere with the
enormous European demand for copper.
The price of the metal Will unquestion-
ably work higher. but the best people
here do not expect to see It above 131
cents for a long time TO come.
1T is just beginning TO dawn on the
street that a systematic curtaIlmcnt In
the production OF copper is not a par
Ucularly bullish argument on the smelt
Ing stocks"
1t is understood the United Metals
Selling company has sold about 100. 600, 900
pounds OF copper at 125 and 12s during
large surplus In the hands Of that
agency Is no longer pertinent.
The bulk was for domestic consumption
although about 50 per cent went to deal
ers and not first hands. All the agen-
ctes are now quoting 12s for deliveries
through September and in view of q cur
tailment now in force Is greater op-
timism generally among the copper in.
terest. John u. Ryan Of Amalgamated
returned from Europe, Thursday. He Is
generally regarded as the commander
in-chicf Of the copper forces. and his
return should result In optimism for the
copper situation.
