can be neither increased or reproduc- ed. How extensive this waste is may be gathered from a few figures. The production of coal amounts to 500,OOO,- 900 tons per year; the waste of coal through loose mining methods, mine fires, etc., is 25O,OOO,OOO tons yearly. The annual production of mineral is 2,OOO, 900, ,OOOS, while the waste of mineral in connection with this pro- duction is 300, ,OOO, ,OOOs year, or prac- tically 1000, ,OOOS of every working day.
 An Arizona copper reduction plant loses II tons of copper in the tailings every day it operates, while losses of a Utah plant from this source are 1SO, COOS a year. The Joplin district of Missouri loses in milling 30 to 40 per cent of the zinc which its mines yield. That alone is a loss of 1,250, ,0O0S. Greater advances in the treating of gold and silver ores make the losses less in these metals, yet the progress in the extraction of gold and silver has not reached a point where it is possible to utilize the vast low grade wealth that lies still untouched in California, which has already produced nearly 50 per cent of the total gold production of the United States. It is the purpose of the Bureau of Mines to restore the mining industry everywhere by finding commercially profitable methods of working the low-grade ores.
 One of the greatest mining engin- eers has summoned up the mining sit uation in the United States as it is to- day, in this terse manner:
 'The fame of the West has been based upon her high-grade mines, but her great wealth lies in her low-grade mines, in the operation of which a difference of 50 cents a ton in mining or treatment charges, or what is equivalent, the saving of 50 cents a ton, means the difference between suc- cess and failure.
 Bonanza mining" this authority asserts, lis thing of the past. Our future production of gold must come from the low-grade mines and { we are to keep pace with other lines of production, that progress must be based upon the facts which underlie the methods of mining and reduction. g
 Unfortunately, when congress ere ated the Bureau of Mines, it failed to appropriate more money than was nec- essary to continue the work of the technological division of the United State Geological Survey, and this work had principally to do with mine safety and fuel investigations. For mine ac- cident investigations 3l0,000S was ap- propriated; for coal fuel investigations 1O0,00OS was appropriated and former treatment investigations 10.0O0S. It is clear that 1O,OOJs will not go very far in the matter of solving the great problems of metallurgy and rehabilita- tion of low-grade mining. The solution of these problems can be accomplished by means of the best laboratory.-Den- yer Mining Record.

ADRIAN To FIGHT
FOR GRANT SEAT
PETITION ASKS FOR REMOVAL
OF COURTHOUSE FROM EPHRA-
JUST BEEN COMPLETED.

Adrian, Jan. 20.-A petition Is be-
ing circulated throughout Grant
county asking the removal of the
county seat from Ephrata to Adrian.
People residing on the Washington
Central branch and the ranchers in
the southeast part Of the county
where the new Connell Northern rail-
road will touch will put up a hard
fight for Adrian. These people on
the Washington Central have to be
out all night TO reach the present
county seat, and if it was at Adrian
they could reach it in a few hours
and return home before they can
reach Ephrata, because of poor train
connections
Adrian has the irrigation system
installed and the Northern Pacific
will. build a new depot in the spring
The Wenatchee Valley Land com.
pany has bought the townsite and
will erect buildings soon.
When the county seat was estab
lished at Ephrata last fall people
say they were assured it was tenn
porary, and the commissioners would
not allow a brick courthouse. A
frame building was erected.

P|NCHOT PETS
HEAR FROM
TAFT
LOPS OFF SALARIES OF ORNA-
MENTAL ''RANGERS" WHO ARE
STUDYING PINCHOTIsM AT THE
STATE UNIVERSITY.

Seattle. Jan. 20.-Seventy-five Uni
ted States forest rangers at the Uni
versity of Washington are wishing
today they had never "hirei out" to
Uncle Sam. Forest rangers have thus
been wishing for some days, but it
did not become known until today.
when it was learned that the forestry
department had notified rangers at
the university that they would not re-
ceive any pay during the college
term.
The rangers left for the university
to study forestry before the dismissal
of Clifford Pinchot by President Taft
1t was then understood that they
would draw full salary while at
school. Since Chief Forester Pin
chot's removal the "no-salary" Motif.
cation has been received direct from
Washington.
The administration action in cut
ting of the salaries is taken to indi-
cate that causes other than that of
the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy led
to Pinchot's removal, chief of which
may have been Pinchot's enormous
payroll. The administration, it Is
said, was given information that Pin
chot was using his Office as a means
to aid his extraordinary presidential
aspirations, and that his payroll was
one of his chief assets.

MOUNTAINS HIGH.

Stage driving ON the Big Bend
plateau is not an enjoyable job in
the winter season. The stage which
left Bridgeport Tuesday morning has
rot arrived in Waterville yet, though
there are prospects of 1t getting in
this evening. The stage which start

wind of Monday piled the snow in
huge drifts across the road in many
places and it was almost impossible
to break through There is a stretch
of about 80 miles between Waterville
and Bridgeport in which there are no
telephone lines and Messrs. Hunt &
Crow, operating the line, had no word
of this stage after it left Bridgeport
Tuesday morning until about
O'Clock today when the word came
that the driver had-hrolen tf1rou Oh

Not in Favor of Municipal Ownership

while l used to be favorably dis
posed toward municipal ownership
of public utilities, / am coming to
believe after cold calculation of the
subject from our experience with the
city water plant that it is not the best
thing" said City Councilman Geo. F.
Begg, after reviewing the statement
of expenditures by the city for the
new water system.
"It is" he added, "piling up debts
for the future generations. while we
are paying interest on the amount in
vested which is not decreasing the in
debtedness. 1t is thought that. while
crowded and closely settled European
cities may consider such public own
ership and operation successful. their
conditions are vastly different from
our own, where the urban population
is scattered over large areas"
Private corporations, he thinks,
could perform the service more cheap
~ as they would not so willingly ex-
tend the system of public utilities
into thinly populated additions
where the service would not pay

LOCAL APPLES HIT
BROADWAY
w. ID. FINLEY WITH HIS CAR
LOAD OF WENATCHEE APPLES
CAUSES QUITE A SENSATION IN
EASTERN METROPOLIS.

W. D. Finley and H. w. Halling
with the carload of Wenatchee ap-
pies are causing Quite<a sensation In
Broadway, New York City. The New
following to say of Finley and the ap-
pies:
William D. Finley, Bill to a
large part of New England, left Bos-
ton three years ago for the west with
correct down east accent ana an
abiding faith in Boston as the home
OF all that is good and worth having.
Last week, he arrived on Broadway
minus the real Boston accent, minus
the belief that Boston is really the
hub of the universe and plus COM
mission to preach the gospel of the
land of marvellous possibilities and
lest we forget-a Stetson hat.
Incidentally he brought some ap-
ples-tons of them for that matter
such apples as Broadway never
saw before, for he has become the
apple king of the Spokane country of
Washington state.
Broadway, at least that portion
of it contiguous to Longacre square,
marvels at his apples, but when he
begins to talk! Can he talk? No
circus barker ever formulated finer
description of the marvels contained
within the canvas walls than he does
in describing the possibilities in Spo-
kane apples.
Greatest country in the world,
got the east skinned to DEATH he de-
clares. See that apple? Plain Spo-
kane Apple of Commerce. There's
ten of them weighing four and a
quarter pounds. Worth SIT barrel
on the trees. Marvellous? Yes, won
derful.'
When Broadway has its fill Of ap-
pies Mr.. Finley proposes moving on
to Philadelphia to show the Quakers
the real thing in his line. He may go
to Boston, but he has his doubts.
"'Boston's all right for beans,
said the apple king, but it's me for
the Spokane apple country"

ABERDEEN LET OUT
Of LEAGUE
BALL MAGNATES FAILED To
FIND SIXTH CITY SO Topped
DEEM +

Seattle, Jan. 20.-The baseball
map Of the Northwestern league was
sadly mussed when the magnates
closed up six-hour session in the
Hotel Seattle last night Many un-
looked for changes had been made
and surprises sprung on every hand.
The directors met ostensibly to choose
a sixth city to fill out their circuit.
They finished by cutting out one al
ready under franchise and reducing
the league to four clubs.
Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, vancou-
yer. This is the Northwestern league
circuit for the season of 1910.
This means that Aberdeen, a city
that has stuck gamely by the league
for the past three seasons and had
raised the money to maintain a club
this year, is to be dropped.
Can Drop at Will.
Under the league constitution 1t
has the power to drop any club, for
business reasons, on vote of the re-
naming clubs. Clarence H. Row
land, the Aberdeen manager, who was
representing the Black Cats, made a
splendid fight against being dropped.
but the other votes we're solid against
him.
The reason for the reduction of the
league to four clubs was that no other
good city could be found to take the
franchise last year held by Portland,
which was revoked by the Northwest
ern magnates several weeks ago.
Bellingham, Snohomish and the Mon
tana cities, Helena and Butte, were
the only applicants for the franhise
None Of them, however, could offer
sufficient inducements.
Small League Better.
The directors feel that the four
club organization will be far more
satisfactory from business stand
point than the six-club. Seattle, Spo-
kane, Tacoma and Vancouver should
make very strong combination. and
every club in the league ought to have
? good season.
,, Just what disposition will be made
of the players under contract to Aber-
deem has not been decided. BY the
laws of baseball these players revert
to the league, but the directors do not
| want to take them. They prefer to
give the Aberdeen management a
chance to sell them and realize what
ever 1t can for the sale.
