THE NEW YEAR HAS

American mines and works than was

ports shows that Al American mining
properties vie ded profits suffieiea,
large to enrich shareholders to thu
extent Of S11 ,204, COS. In addition
to this amount are the declarations
of four secureties holding corpora.
lions which distributed among the
shareholders $1.524,5SS, making the
January dividend disbursements total
$12,729,198.
In comparison with January, 1870,
the dividend payments made last
month show an increase of $2,676,.
1913 and an increase of eight compan.
les participating. AS compared with

An lnexcusabls Graft.

A bill has been introduced in cong
ress, says the Tonopah Bonanza, to
abolish the free envelope graft of the
government At present any man who
buys stamped envelopes from the
government may have his name print,
ed in the corner without cost. The
government does not do this work
itself, but let's the contract for 1t t.
a Dayton man, who is cleaning UP
a quarter of million dollars year
The daily output of printed envelopes
now Is about five millions. There
isn't anything to it for Uncle Sam,
while those engaged in the printing
business over the country are cut
off from considerable share of bus
mess that belongs to them. 1t /,
Is about as inexcusable graft as is
in existence today.

ELY Smell ELS kEADY
TO Use full OIL

The big shelters at Ely are ready
to use oil for fuel, which it is claim
ed, will save the company a vast sum
of money annually. The following is
taken from the Ely Record
THE big oil storage reservoir To-
Gated northeast of the rooster stack
at the plant of the Steptoe compaH
at McGill, has been completed and
is now ready to receive the first ship
ment of oil which is now on the way
from San Francisco. The reservoir
was excayated, lined with concrete
and housed over in an amazing y
short length of time considering its
size, 125 feet in diameter and with a
capacity of about $4,000 barrels. The
cover the concrete with road oil, "
heavy crude oil product, containing
large percentage of asphaltum. The
reservoir was then filled with water
to develop any leaks that might pos
sibly be found in the cement and is
now ready for the crude oil from
the Coalinga, Calf, fields that is to
be used in firing the reverberatories.
Some preliminary work is being
done in the machine shop at McGill
in preparation for the installation of
the three new basic converters which
are soon to be put in at the Steptoe
plant The converters themselves
are to be shipped direct from the
factory at Baltimore.
All five of the reverberatory fur
naces are now in service but it is
expected that Furnace Four will
shortly have to shut down and al
that time the necessary changes will
be made to equip the furnace fol
using oil as fuel.
Three units are in commission a
the Steptoe concentrator and the
average amount of ore handled i:
about 2700 tons to the shift or 8t0t
tons during each twenty-four hours
The three units could no doubt b.
pushed to a capacity of 5000 tons
day which would be just twice a
much as was expected of the mil
when it was built"

 The Clansman" is briefly the story of how the descendants of the Scottish clans. living in the South Carolina hill country, rose up in the year of 1867 and threw of the car pet basger yoke. Their agency in effecting this result was the ceie- brated Ku Klux Klan. The hero Of the play. Ben Cameron. Is a leader oi the. Klan. His sweetheart, Elsie Stonem>n. is the daughter of an Abolitionist, the organizer of the hat cd Union league Here is inc inter play of love and hate, of passion and circumstance. in which the dramatist delights.
 Elsie's father puts forth every ersort 70 enforce negro domination, and Ben as stoutly resists. The latter Is ar rested and clapped in jail hT ihe scalawag white governor Of the. state, who is egged, on by the mulatto lieu tenant governor. Silas Lynch. A fed eral court marital sentences Ben 70 death. Elsie begs the lieutenant gov ernor % save him The latter says he will if Elsie will marry him tthe mulatto Elsie faints at the shock ing proposal Stoneman enters, and
 nladdened on learning what his
 -sted protege. Lynch, has dol~,, He ~h has encouraged Lynch about social equality. and indeed has told him to go ahead and marry white woman but when he learns Lynch wants his own daughter, that is another story, and his rage and disgust are beyond bounds
 Yet Stoneman and his daughter are helpless in the hands ot the mulatto. Ii is the Ku Klux Klan who, headed by the rescueG> Ben, surround the house, make l.yncn a prisoneTr and free the old nan and his daughter. Stoneman at last sees his glganilc mistake in trying to rule the country by carpetbaggers and negroes and la installing false ideas Of social and pc litical equality. He announces that he will make yet another trip to Washington 10 induce the authorities there to withdraw the federal troops and allow the southern people to manage their affairs in their own way Ben and Elsie are united. 4 faiTer day begins for that portion Of the stricken south, thanks to the high purpose, steadfast courage and he ro.c achievements Of the Ku hluE Klan. an invisible empire which within a few months overspread :: territory larger than modern Europe, snatched power cut Of death and de feat, and tore the fruits of victory from twenty million conquerors.

Formation of Potash.

The potash beds of Germany we're
formed in ancient geologic times long
before history began. These minerals
were deposited as a consequence of
the evaporation of sea water confined
in lakes which, like the Dead Sea and
our own Salt Lake, were without
outlet. They were connected, how
ever, with the ocean by dry channels
through which the sea water was oc-
casionally forced by great storms and
tides, and fresh supplies we're thus
forced into the lakes and, as the
climate was tropical during the for
native period, the surface evapora-
ton was rapid. AS evaporation carries
off only pure water, so in course of
time, those salts least soluble in
water began to separate from the
soluble ones and deposit themselves
in more or less uniform strata until
immense layers of rock salt and other
minerals were formed. -"Serious AS
