]. ]. Hill Talks On Reciprocity

JAS. j. Hill. the railroad magnaIe,
has studied the subject Of Canadian
reciprocity thoroughly and gives his
opinion as lolows:-
The proposed reciprocity agree
menl between Canada and the
craftsmanship Intelligent citizens
and public men approve it. 1t is
mainly opposed by The deragogue.
There is no valid objection to a
much lreer interchange of commod-
titles between he two countries than
that provided for by the new treaty.
1t does NOT affect the protective prin-
ciple at all. because protective duties
are OF 40 more value between the
United States and Canada than they
wouIn be between Minnesota and
Wisconsin When we do not pro-
dure a Surplus but have to buy
abroad ii will be to the advantage of
the home consumer to buy as reason
ably as possible. Canada is our
nearest nci1hbor and our most adj
van1ageous market for either buying
or selling.
The spirit that opposes reciproc-
ity because there is in it some adj
vantage for Canada, would DESTROY
all commerce. Both countries gain.
But as there are $4,000, 900 people
in the United States our measure Of
gain is much greater.
Our trade with Canada is now
nearly $35O,OOO, 900 year and
growing rapidly. She is our third
best customer and will probably soon
take the second place. Union of all
parts OF the British empire in COM
mercis' federation is only a question
ut time. When that shall have been

$l3l IS An Acre From Supa,
Beet Culture

just as soon as the big ditch is
completed aud farmers have water
with which to irrigate their crops,
sugar beet culture win become one
OF the principal Industries. That it
will becomea profitable business is
shown by the following from the
Billings Gazette.
According to communication
from W. s. Garnsey, Jr., manager of
the Billings Sugar company, enclos-
ing an affidavit by Perry Young to
his best yield last season, Mr.. Young
is according to the records, entitled
to the award offered last spring.
Mr.. Young harvested l45.OS46 tons
OF sugar beets from 60 acres of land
during the 1910 season, and the gross
value of this yield was 5000. IS, AN
average Of Sl3l ,S5 per acre.
The yield is unusually good, but is
evidence of the rapid growth in the
value OF lands in the Midland en-
pre-. When an acre of land in this
section can be made to produce a
yield worth sl3l,S3 an acre, it may
be seen what the posi- of the
valley are.
The best yield showed a high per-
centage of saccharine this year all
over the company's territory. and
the yields We're good.

NEVAOA'S QUICKSILVER ORES

or the nineteen mines produc-
ing quicksilver in the United
States in 1910 fifteen are located
in California. two in Nevada, and
two in Texas. according to H. d.
McCaskey of the United &c clog
ical Survey. The production in
1910 as obtained from confidential
returns to the Geological Survey
by every producer in the country,
was 2O.60l TASKS of rs pounds
each. At the average. domestic
price at San Francisco, $46.5, a
flask, the value was $95S,153. .
AS compared with the pro.
duction of 1909, which was 2l,7O5
TASKS valued at $9J7. ,S59, this
shows decrease in quantity of
Ala TASKS, but an increase of
value of 1924.
Although the production of Cali
tornia Increased in 1910 the output
from Oregon decreased to nothing
as that of Arizona did IN 1909, the
small Nevada production fell off
considerably and the output from
Texas decreased. In no state
except ossibly in Nevada can an
increased output be expected for
1911 the present outlook being for
a total production for the United
States not exceeding 10000 TASKS.
In Nevada about thirty. five tons
of ore were treated in 1910 yield
ing TT per cent, or $50 pounds of
quicksilver to the ton. In the
entire United States 1885 short
tons of crude ores were treated
in 1910, yielding an average O.6
per cent of quicksilver or 1T
pounds to the ton with n gross
value of $7.26.
The Neyaia production has SO
far heel entirely from rctcrts
these being less expensive than
shift furnaces better suited for
high grade ore and frequently
used at new mines where there is
usually some rich ore.
These retorts, however, are a
menace to the health of the work
men. AS is well known. cinnabar,
the sulphide of mercury, is the
chief ore of the metal, and re-
covery is accomplished by volatiZa-
ton of the quicksilver from the
ore by heat and condensation OF
the mercury vapors in cOndcnsers.
Fluxcs are not required as in the
mcallurgical treatment by smclt-
ing of most other metals and
frequently the orc itself carries
the equivalent of fuel in the form
of pyrite which gives or consider
able heat in Oxidization
Prices Of quicksilver in 1910
averaged $46.0l a flask of seventy.
five pounds in San Francisco for
domestic use and $44.51 for cx-
port; the average price in New
York was $47.0G. In London the
highest price was 9 pounds Is
shilings per bottle of 3.5 kilo-
grams, and the lowest pounds.
Prices have greatly improved in
the last few years.
