surely as the pioneer %porphyry op-
orator came. His process at the
same time may extend to the original
mill treatment, guaranteeing a less
loss of metal than is now the rule.
Western m~etallurgists realizing
these conditions are not sitting idle
awaiting for some metallurgieal
Moses to lead them to higher ground.
1t is understood that exhaustive ex-
periments are now being made
throughout the west with this end in
view. 1t is expected, for instance,
that oxidized copper ores of extreme
ly low metallic contents. and not
amenable to the concentration
process now being used so universal
ly, can be brought into the COM
mereial column by a new system of
teaching, and success in this direc-
ton will unquestionably assist in
bringing many of the old tailings
dumps into use. for a greater por-
ton of the copper now lost is a mem

the course of time much of the sui
phides by contact with air will be re-
duced to the same chemical classifi-
cation, hence within the influence of
teaching reagents.
There still is a wide experimental
field to be covered in these western
mining fields, and future tasks
should be easier owing to the extern
sive ground covered by the pioneers
already. One hears frequently OF
new smelling devices to further
cheaper the cost of ore reduction,
and old time Comstockers will shud-
der when they recall to what extent
they had to timber drifts and cross
cuts long ago. applying past on
ditions to present needs.
Up to a very few years ago there
was no such a thing as a porphyry

me at all times the fact that we are
entering, as far as the state of Ne

field, and hat the placing of the
functions of this Office before the

require patience and perseverance.
All who have given the industry any
thought must realize that Nevada

sources under proper exploitation
can be depended upon for profitable
returns, and now that 1t has reached
a permanent business basis ! believe
that more attention should be paid

the protection of the men employed.
We realize hat on account of the
veins and ore deposits lying at diff
ferent angles and being of all shapes
and sizes, from the small seam to i'm
mense bodies hundreds of feet in
width and of all lengths, and that
the material comprising them and
their country formation vary in tex

things connected with mining which
are the same the world over and to
which the same rules are applicable.
These conditions have been fairly
covered by the set of rules and regu-
lations we have formulated, had

the companies operating in the state,

those rules will greatly lessen the
number of casualties and add a little
peace and comfort 10 the miner

ORE CONCENTRATION.
Exhaustive Experiments Being Made

The adherents of the conservation
of resources movement have called
attention in a manner which has
made the country do some deep

much a question, they agreed, of ex-
listing conditions being good enough,
taking as they do what has hereto
fore been a useless material like the
low grade porphyry ores of the west

same, but 1t is a question of whether
or not something better is possible,
something which will come nearer
the point where eonservationists will
have less with which to find fault.

NATIONAL TUBERCULOSIS
DAY ON APRIL 3Oth
Churches Will Fight Consumption Hope
to Enlist $4,000, 900 Communicates

April Both has been set aside this
year as Tuberculosis Day. and will
be observed in 200, ZOO churches in'the
country in a manner similar to that
of ''TuberculoSiS Sunday" in 1910,
when over 10000 sermons were
preached on the prevention of con-
sumption. The National Associa-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis hopes to enlist all of
the 33, 100000 church members in the
country in this movement.
In one respect tuberculosis Day
will differ from tuberculosis Sunday
of 1910. Instead of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
plan is, to ask this year that meet
ingS, at which the subject of tuber-
culosiS and its prevention can be dis
cuSSed, be held on Sunday, April 30th,
or on any other day near that date,
either in the week preceding or the
week following. What is desired is
that the subject of tuberculosis be
discussed in all of the 200, 900
churches of the United States at as
This does not demand that a stated
service be given over to this work,
although that might be desirable,
but that any minister, or other au-
thority whom he may invite, may
present the problem to his congrega
tion before or after his regular ser
vice, or on any day within the week
preceding or following April 30th.
The National Association is plan
ming to gather statistics from thou
sands of ministers, showing how
serious profile m tuberculosis is to
every church. These figures will in
dicate among other things the num-
Der of deaths last year from tubercu-
losis in church congregations, and
the extent to which clergymen are
called upon to minister to sufferers
from this disease. 1t is planned also
to issue millions of circulars and
pamphlets on the prevention of tu-
berculosiS, both from the national
office and from the headquarters of
the $50 anti-tuberculosis associations
who will cooperate in this movement.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April Is,
1911.
Small receipts of cattle all around
yesterday enabled statesmen to repair
in part the damage done to the mar
ket last week, the general market cal
led strong to 10 higher. Enthusiasm
was lacking however, and trade was
not entirely satisfactory. The good
supply of II, 600 head came in today
and heavy steers are 10 lower in some
cases, other cattle steady to weak,
stockers and feeders steady Calves
are quarter higher than at the
close of last week. Some middle
weight steers sold today at $3.50,
which is 10 cents higher than any
thing brought last week The troub-
le with the beef market is small
demand from consuming centers for
pressing on the market. While pack
ers proclaim to the travelling public
that there is surplus of cattle, they
admit, for trade purposes, that a
shortage is imminent. In a dispute
with hide dealers in Chicago this
week the packers made the latter
claim, in justification of prices they
demand for hides, against which the
hide men inVeigh. The trade gener-
ally looks for good supplies of cattle
for two months yet, but after that
short supplies are expected. Hardly
any cattle are being brought into
this country from Mexico. under a
ruling of the Interior Department
made March 10th, which opened the
gates to quarantine cattle in Mexico.
At three of the four stations on the
Rio Grande below the line nothing
has come over, only few at Browns
vile, the fourth station. Bulk of
the steers this week sell at $3.50 to
$500, cows at S4.25 to S5.35, heiferS
s. to So, bulls S4.25 to 1925, top veals
81, stock steers S5 to S6 feeders S5.40
to $500
Slim hog supplies at all points, in
comparison with recent runs, have
put some life in the hog market this
week, prices little higher yesterday
and today, though the close was
barely steady today. Bulk of sales
today was at So. 20 to SO. 30, top So. IS.
Lard exports in March were fifty per
cent greater than same month last
year, but exports of other pork pro-
ducts show no increase. Domestic
consumption is much heavier than
year ago, and dealers say sufficient to
take the stuff around present prices
indefinitely, unless receipts expand
materially. Stocks of provisions in
April, but this is regarded as unim-
portant by provision specialists.
Sheep and lambs are reSupinating
gradually, market strong yesterday,
10 to 10 higher today, run 5000 today.
Bulk of the wooled lambs today sold
at 1888 to $500, though there was
some cheap lambs at $3.50, and clip
ped lambs would not do much better
than 1925. Spring lambs are about
two dollars lower than before Easter
prices, best ones possibly up to $3.50.
Wooled yearlings are worth up to
$3.50, wethers S4.S5, ewes S4.35, best
clipped stock so to 90 cents under
these prices. Goats bring $500 to
$3.50. Receipts of fed stuff is dwind-
ling, but will last another week or
two yet, in fairly good quantities.

am still interested in Mr.. Lara
bees table of taxes and per cent of
increase and from the comments and
concentrations by citizens and tax
payers and from the many letters /
have received concerning the articles,
/ have good reason to believe many
others are interested.
In this / propose saying something.
not much, about State taxes and a
little about some other taxes which
might interest some of the taxpayers
at least And will say that while the
State taxes are levied in different
way from that of other municipali-
ties, we have a perfect right to hold
the same officials responsible in such
cases: in fact, in all cases concerning
the raising of taxes. Under our law
there can be no state taxes raised for
any purposes whatsoever other than
for the purposes for which appropria-
tionS have been made by the legiSla-
ture- After the appropriations are
made (paSSed) by the legislature, the
State Tax Board State Tax Commis-
sion) then determines how much shall
be paid by each of the los counties,
and this is determined by the proper
ty valuations of the several counties
as returned by the County Clerk
| County ASSESSOR. And it is noticed
in the table for the last five years as
given by Mr.. Larabee that the
per cent of increase of the County
general fund is just 1 percent greater
| than that of the state, being 81 7-10 re-
| spectiyely, but the state has some
thing to show for the increased eXpen-
ditures in the way of valuable build
ings and other lasting improvements
and better and greater educa tional
| facilities for the young men and wo-
men of the state but what has Trego
county to show for its increased eX-
penditureS and its Indebtedness?
| The same officials who have been in
Strumental in increasing our county
! taxes are the officials who are to
blame for our having to pay more
State taxes than are just, more than
are equitable, more than our proper
| tionate share. And what is true so
far as the relation of the county to
the state is concerned is true of the
| township in its relation to the county
and to the state and the same is true
in regard to smaller divisions such as
small cities and school districts.
Many individual instances of the un-
] fairness and injustice can be given;
they are we'll known to the citizens
and taxpayers generally. 1T is plain
and we'll known that the citizens and
] taxpayers are not getting square
deal from these officials. We hold
the Board of County Commissioners
and the County Assessor responsible
for their own acts and the acts of the
appointme of the deputy assessors

about the expenditures of the gener-
al fund of Wa-Keeney township from
October 81, 1910, to the time the new
Board took charge in January 1911,
and also show how the County Clerks
office has been used as a collecting
agency by running. on the tax roll,
sidewalk claims not warranted by
law; time and space forbid. But will
just ask you to notice that the county
general fund is over $1,000 behind: and
that County Clerk Larabee has on
file with the Board of County Com
miSsioners an illegal claim for 81 for
drawing jury, and that commission
er Walker is willing to violate the
law again by allowing this illegal
claim.
In conclusion will say that / do
not claim to be a sage or saint
Divine, and further that the people
of Trego county generally are honest
and law-abiding citizens. And in
answer to the Court House Acrostic
will say that about the only law that
/ can call to mind of having violated
is the new Game law. From the
