umne. The annual meeting of the company will be held on June 20 and while it is known that at least one of the directors is opposed to ordering a dividend at this time, it is generally understood the majority will vote in favor of the same. ''I'm not opposed to a dividend because the company's conditions does not fully warrant il" said one of the directors, "but because believe that every cent of indebted ness should be cleared up first. How eyer, the condition of the treasury fully justifies it and will be satisfied if it is passed for payment"
 The ore from the Original and Stew art mines, the Clark properties pur- chased by the Anaconda company, IS now being treated at the Washoe shelter in Anaconda, and the Clark shelter is only now being operated for the purpose of clearing up all ore on hand. The Clark Reduction works employed 450 men all told and all but about D will be thrown out of work; the few to be retained being employed to operate the concentrator for the treatment of zinc ores from the Elm Orlu and such other mines as may wish to have zinc ores treated, the concen- trator having been leased to Senator Clark by the Anaconda Co. That company announces the shelter will not be dismantled and furnaces will be left as they stand at present in case that at any time it may be necessary to treat more ore than can be handled at the Anaconda and Great Falls smell ters. Both concerns are now operat- ing to their full capacity.
 Men are now engaged in constuct- ing a railroad track to the Stewart mine, and just as soon as it is con- pleted the shaft will be used for the hoisting of ore. For some time, un- der the Clark management, the shaft of this mine was not operated. The Stewart mine is connected with the Parrot and other properties of the Anaconda company and it is proposed to work the Little Nina through the Stewart. It is expected that the work of track building and making railway connections with the Stewart will be completed in about one month. The closing of the Butte Reduction works will not affect the TuOlumne and other properties having ore treated, as it is stated that the Pittsmont shelter is prepared to take care of all the ore of the Tuolumne mine on terms equally

values are shown to contain r per cent zinc, to 10 per cent lead, about 10 ounces of silver and from g to 3S in gold, while it is claimed that below the 700-foot level the values are great CT, and it is estimated that there are
 more than 100000 tons of ore in sight. This is stated to be far in ex- cess of the ores to be found in any single mine of the merger properties. It may be stated that the Alice com pany is incorporated under the laws of
 Utah and it is claimed that the sale brought about at the special meeting recently was not legal for the reason that the laws of Utah require unani- nous approval for the sale of the stock of any corporation. The protestants represent 5,200 shares of stock. The Anaconda or Amalgamated Copper companies do not own any stock in the Alice companies, but seek to secure control through the stock owned by the Butte Coalition company.
 At the present time the Washoe shelter is turning out copper at the rate of 1S,OOO,OOO pounds a month and the Great Falls shelter about 5000, ,OO0 pounds. In the Anaconda properties shaft sinking is going on. It is pro- posed 10 make connections between the Original mine of the Clark prop critics and the Gagon, and when this is accomplished the Original shaft will be abandoned in favor of the new vertical shaft of the Gagon mine. In the Hige Ore a crOsscut has been made from the 2,SOO-foot level to a point under the shaft of the Anaconda mine. The latter mine has been drained through a diamond drill open ing made between the Hige Ore cross cut and the Anaconda shaft.
 The Butte and Superior company made its second payment on the Butte property the other day, al- though the second payment was not in with the original agree ment. The company found itself short in ready cash so it asked for and received permission to divide up the second payment, paying one half now and the remainer in three months time. The company is making daily shipments of high-grade ore and is getting very satisfactory re- suits from the Basin concentration now that it controls the operation of the mill.
 Another Butte company is expected to become a dividend payer, the Tuol-

Sterling Mine is Shipping Ore.

Authenticated reports from the old Sterling mine on Big Bug. are of the most encouraging character. Since consumption took place few months ago, under the direction of M. s. Taft, total of five car loads of ore has been taken from the old workings and ship ped to the Humboldt shelter. Each of these cars contained 50,000 pounds, which will give some idea of what the old stopes contained that were not worked in the earlier day, and to which is added the high values con tained.. A great percentage of this output ran as high as 50 per cent in copper, with silver values also in the ores. In addition to this rating, some of the assorted output ran as high as 80 per cent in the red metal. As de- velopment goes on in virgin ground, the general belief of the miner is cen tered to the creation of one of the best mining propositions in this coun- llg anu IuC SldIllluS lCdbuiC OA bhC operation of the ground is that it is going into a meteorological change from a silver to a copper proposition.
 It was revived by Mir. Taft on the presumption that it was distinctively gold and silver mine, but as the noun tain was opened, the change has been readily apparent, until now the asso- citation of the copper condition is pro- nounced, along with that of the silver yield holding it's own also.
 The Sterling was shut down over ten years ago, and when the Hum- boldt shelter resumed it was again decided to operate it for the riches ex- posed in the old workings, solely. But recent development has greatly inten- sified the possibilities of the ground, and the purpose is now to exploit in the near future on an extensive line, and which is warranted by the new discoveries made in the past few weeks.-Prescott Journal-Mine

Great Electric Plant new Economy for
 the AnacOnda Mines.


 A Butte, Mont, dispatch says: Early next month it is expected that the power from the Great Falls Water, Power and Townsite company will be in use at the Anaconda mines and the Washoe shelter at Anaconda. The workmen have just completed the erection of the poles and stringing the wire, and a sub-station is nearing com pletion on Anaconda hill. Electricity will then operate the leading mines of the district and this wlll, of course, affect big saving as compared with the cost of steam.
 Just when the merged mines of the district will come under the direct control of the Anaconda company still remains a secret so far as the people about here are concerned. It is quite probable that the application by min ority holders for an appraisement of the Parrot company stock and the pro- test against the sale of the Alice com pany will delay matters for a time, as the minority holders in both com panies will have to be dealt with or the question of sale fought out in the courts of Montana and Utah. Should the rights of the minority holders get into the courts it will take long time to dispose of the actions and it may be several months before the merger is actually consummated.
 If the minority holders of the stock of the Alice company, or at least some of them, are well informed there is good ground for the statement of some of the Guggenheim men while in this city some two or three months ago, that Butte, in the next five years, ought to outstrip Joplin, Mo, as zinc center if advantage is taken of the op- portunities offered. These men made a pretty thorough examination of sev- eral properties and made the state ment attributed to them on the eve of their departure. The opinion of these men is recalled on the appearance of the protest of minority stockholders to the sale to the Anaconda company of the Alice properties for 30,OOO shares of the merger stock. They assert that the price is not anything like what the mine is worth, especially in view of the fact that zinc is higher than it has been for years. As an evidence that the price offered by the Anaconda for the Alice is not sufficient it is stat ed that above the 7OO-foot level test

as satisfactory as given by the Clark interests. This shelter is now hand ling all the ore of the East Butte con- pany and in addition the ore of the Butte-Ballaklava, and is prepared to care for the ore of other companies.

II a saloonkeeper violates law it is
because he finds it profitable to yio-
late law. but 1t is an easy matter to
prepare a saloon license under which
|it could not be profitable to violate
law.
We think that saloon license should
renew itself after being issued as long
as the holder obeys law. provided the
people do not forbid the business by
a local option or prohibition vote, be-
cause this would make a saloonkeeper
feel that his business was a perman-
ent one, and he would feel disposed
to conduct a permanent business on a
very much higher plane than he would

lily engaged in and which he is liable to
be put out Of at the end of any fiscal
year
We also think that licenses should
be limited so as to make them valn-
able, and We are decidedly Of the opin-
ion that penalties for the violation OF
law by the saIoonkeeper should be
mandatory.
We do not think that any discretion
ought to be left with a Judge or a H.
censing board, but in saloon license
it should be distinctly provided that
conviction by a jury of the violation
Of law on the part Of the holder would
suspend the license for thirty, sixty
or ninety days. and a second convic-
ton would cancel it forever.
a license OF this kind would be very
and if the penalties could
not be minimized the holder would
have but one thought, and that would
be to obey the laws strictly.
This would really bring about
complete regulation OF the liquor
traffic. and in such regulation lies. in
our opinion. the only p1vctical solu-
ton Of the liquor problem.

NEWSPAPERS IN TROUBLE
WITH POSTAL AUTHORITIES

From the Publishers Auxiliary.
Special agents of the postoffice de-
partment are travelling about the
country dropping into Newspaper Of
fees when least expected to exam
inc subscription lists to ascertain if
the regulations requiring payment
in advance are observed. Several
newspapers have been in trouble,
and here is case told by the Des-
Moines Capital:
Editor Fay of Iowa has been call
ed to Washington City because his
subscription list is not we'll paid up,
as the law requires He will have
to explain to the government officials
why he has not compelled his SUBJ
scribers to pay up according to the
postal rules. 1t seems a little tough
that country editors have to be haul
ed up before the government under
the charge of violating the federal
laws just because they do not eter-
nally keep dunning their subscrib-
ers for the small sums they owe on
subscription, but it is like the end
of the world--no one knows when it
cometh, and an editor knoweth not
what day an inspector may pop in
and ask to see his list. And if too
many subscribers are behind on the
paper it means trouble with the gov
eminent. 1t puts the editor in such
shape that he is compelled to force
his subscription collections, unless
he has an unusually prompt paying
list of subscribers"
The Bee, a newspaper published
at Jefferson, has been jerked up.
This is what the editor said about
it;
The Bee this morning received
its first official summons from the
postoff1ce department to conform
with the ruling which requires the
pay in advance. We can no longer
send the paper to delinquents, no
matter how willing we may be to
accommodate them. We sometimes
question the right of Uncle Sam to
interfere in the conduct of a legiti-
mate business and say we shall not
extend credit if we want to, but
whether right or wrong we must con-
form to the regulation. 1t certainly
will distress us greatly to cut off
good and long time patrons who we
know intend to pay, but are care
less about the matter, and If such
really want the Bee we know that
they will come to our assistance and
relieve us of this embarrassment.
1t Is very dangerous business
Tor newspaper man to send papers
to subscribers who are in arrears.
ITO be deprived of the second
class privilege which iS thn Dapa1+x,
for noncompliance with he ruling,
puts a newspaper out of business,
for the expense of putting a one
cent stamp on every paper mailed
amounts to more than the profits on
the entire subscription business, to
say nothing of the increased amount
of labor which is required in aff1xing
the stamps"

PREPARE FOR AN EMERGENCY.
The boil weevil will reach Geor-
gia about 1912. Anthracnose and
the wilt disease are destroying thou
sands of dollars worth of cotton for
Georgia farmers each year. The
cattle tick holds in check the de-
velopment of our live stock indus
tries. The methods of fertilization
and cultivation now pursued tend to
lessen the crop-yielding power of
our soils. Our failure to select seed
corn and cotton results in reducing
instead of increasing the yields OBJ
tanned. A serious situation con-
fronts the people. There are mil
lions of dollars at stake. The pros
perity of the boys and girls hangs
in the balance. The future of the
lives of thousands of boys and girls
is involved in the issue. The place
of Georgia among the states of the
Union is being weighed.
Realizing the momentous charac-
ter of the issues involved and the
prize at stake the State College of
Agriculture has organized a cotton
school and stockmen's short course
to teach farmers how to overcome
these difficulties 1t will take but
ten days to secure eighty hours of
definite instruction and demonstra-
ton concerning these vital matters.
1t will cost from SO to SIS.
Mr.. Farmer, are you going to at.
tend this short course and broaden
your point of view, become a sue
cessful farmer, advance the welfare
of your family, increase your earn
ing capacity, build up your lands
and make your state permanently
prosperous? "Do not put off until
tomorrow what you can do today
is one of the best axioms our civili-
cation has developed Prepare your
SELF to successfully meet the issues
which changed conditions have i'm
posed on Georgia agriculture. You
cannot escape them, but you can
circumvent them by skill and def
mite knolwedge, which science and
agricultural training and education
alone provide.

a paper in this county for twenty-five
years, and during all of this time
neither the board of commissioners

THE WAR OGRE.

The nightmare man of war has
made another tossing up, and his
phantasy has penetrated the white
house and made Mr.. Taft party to
the spectre.
Mr.. James McLachlan, who repre-
sents a California district in con-
gress, sees in shadowy alignment a
great Japanese army landing on the
Pacific side of our country and, hav-
ing gotten possession of the Rocky
Mountain passes, bidding defiance to
this nation. This expedition is so
stealthily carried out that the first
intimation we have of it is when
100000 of the Asiatic warriors land
on our coast and proceed to occupy
strategic points, the meanwhile
sweeping away the handful of SOL
diery foolish enough to dispute their
march.
And Secretary of War Dickinson
has all of sudden discovered that
we are utterly unprepared for armed
conflict-that we are at the mercy
Of any power-down to the fourth
class if you will To add to the ride
ulousless of the situation General
Fred Grant comes to his rescue by
stating that the United States should
have at least 1 100000 soldiers ready
for war at any time. This number is
400. 900 greater than the belligerent
states of Germany and France have
to maintain to keep the peace Of Eu-
rope.
President Taft is not frightened by
the Asiatic ogre He knows that
Japan's finances are at low ebb, and
that country is in no condition to
begin conflict with US And when
you think that it costs $1,000 for
every shot from a high-power gun on
a warship of today the tremendous
cost of hostilities begins to assume
stable proportions.
Japan is financially enfeebled. Her
helplessness is understood among
the nations, and therefore none fear
her.

FARMERS, DINNER GLIB

The farmers of a county in Kan
sas have set up an organization
which seems good all the way
through, says the Savannah News
The club is to meet once a month
at the home of member, who will
provide dinner for the whole COM
pany There will be rotation in en-
tertainment, so that the cost of the
clubs feeds" will not be very large
When the members have dined it is
proposed that they shall sit back in
easy chairs, smoke pipes and discuss
agricultural problems. Each con
fab" will be an experience meeting
The members, being well fed and
content with all the world, will feel
free to express themselves in placid
ty and good temper. There will be
pirited debates, of course. There
are always debates where farmers
are gathered together and talking
shop" But it is safe to say that
each of them will prove instructive.
Farmers clubs are to be encour-
aged. Whatever tends to lessen the
isolation of the farm is desirable.
Whatever serves to a dissemination
of knowledge gained from experience
should be fostered. The club we are
writing about, continues our con-
temporary, will make for a closer
feeling of fellowship. 1t will create
new friendships and cement old
ones. And the free-for-aIl discus
sions will be educational. We wish
that there were a number of such
clubs in Georgia. Our farmers are
not lacking in the fraternal spirit,
but they have never had the prop
ostion put up to them. We are now
getting good roads in all parts of
the state. and shall have a great
many more of them before long.
Numbers of Georgia farmers own
ana drive automobiles. There are
few who have not good horses and
vehicles. With the modern means
OF transportation there is no reason
why the farmers should not cultivate
a closer social intercourse, but many
reasons why they should do that very
thing.

PRICES HIGH EVERYWHERE.

Now that the elections are over
partisan prejudice can be dismissed
and the war cries of the campaign
lulled to silence.
The fact is that the cost of liv-
ing has in recent years advanced
in all countries, and it is fair to ad-
NIT it in it's full meaning. The
railroad workers in France based
their great strike on the heavier ex-
pense for food The British labor
organizations make strong pleas on
the same score. Just now in the
German reichstag stirring debate
has arisen on the high prices Of
meats and an appeal has been adj
dressed to the kaiser for remedy
1t is plain that the American peo-
pie are paying higher prices for
what they consume under a world
wide stress, and not for faults Of
their government or for causes
merely domestic Tariff schedules
in the United States did not fix
market rates in Great Britain and in
the continent of Europe. Our own
crops and the habits OF our own
citizens must bring a reduction if
it is to come. Legislation will not
bring the change.
Prices are mostly affected by the
amount of money in circulation,
and some economists hold the influx
of gold responsible for the advance
in living expenses.
In this country, according to fig
ures that are said to be authentic,
since 1900 the gold in coin and GER
tificates in circulation increased just
about 60 per cent, while bank notes
ran up by 211 per cent. The total
circulation for each person, which
was $26.94 July LIST, 1900, became
$35.01 November LIST, 1910. The
addition to the volume of bank
notes was called for by the needs of
business, but they helped to initiate
prices. AS a whole the volume of
this imitation is considerable, and it
affects market values. Prices re-
spond to the volume of money in
circulation more than to legislation.
