FOREST RESERVE
 LAW DEFECTIVE

Washington, May 2.-President Taft learned today that through an oversight several millions of dollars, appropriated in the Appalachian forest reserve law, would not be available unless Congress took further action.
 The Appalachian measure became law late in the last session of Congress. It carried an appropriation of s11 100000, of which $1000,O0O was available in 1910 and $2000,000 before June 30, 1911. Nineteen hundred and ten was only memory when the bill became law, so the first million was lost, according to a decision of the Comptroller of the Treasury.
 The commission authorized to spend the money does not believe necessary surveys can be completed in time to purchase any of the lands before June 3. A reappro- priation by Congress probably will be necessary.

The Partisan Method Of Cleaning
Black Silk.

This method is not generally
known, although the process is
simple and the result superior to
that achieved in any other manner.
The silk must be thoroughly
brushed and wiped clean with a
cloth, then laid on a table or board
and well sponged with hot coffee
entirely freed from sediment by
being strained through the muslin.
The work is done on the side in
tended to show, then the silk is al
lowed to become partially dry aud
ironed on the wrong side.
The coffee removes every particle
of grease and restores the brilliancy
of the silk without inpartine to il
the shiny appearance Of crackly
and papery stiffness obtained By
using beer or any other liquids of &
similar kind.
The silk really appears thiekened
by the process, am the good effect
is permanent. Elk.

such matters. The President has
been approached on this project
and doubtless we will hear more of
it in the near future. One should

TOOELE TO HAVE
TWOLEAD STACKS
ANNOUNCEMENT Is MADE FROM
OFFICES OF INTERNATIONAL
TO COMPLETION.

The announcement just made from
the International Smelling Offices,
that the two lead stacks are to be
added to the Tooele equipment
shows good faith OF the part of this
company to carry out the policy
outlined by President John d.
Ryan upon the occasion of his
visit. Over a year ago Mr.. Ryan
said that the International plant
would be provided with equipment
to handle all custom pres that came
to this market. The copper furnaces
were completed first, as a contract
had been made with the Utah Con-
solidated for the treatment of ores
of Bingham. Five furnaces with
an aggregate minimum capacity
of 1900 tons daily were completed,
and the management announces
that an average of 500 tons daily
is now being smelted.
The two lead stacks are to be
completed at the earliest date
possible, the company hoping to
have them blown in within the four
to five months. The capacity of
the two furnaces will be 500 tons
daily and whenever the custom ore
business increases, additions to the
lead and copper furnaces will be
made as conditions require. In
other words, the International
Smelling concern is out for all the
ore treatment business obtainable,

BUREA OF MINES
Metal Mining Interests of West Hope
For Work to Begin Here.

In a speech before congress urg-
ing that a large enough appropria-
ton be given the bureau of mining so
that it can carry on the work for
which 1t was intended, Congressman
Joseph Howell, of Utah, said in part:
The creation of the bureau of
mines was based on two great pur-
poses-reducing the tremendously
heavy mortality rate among the
miners of this country and ~lessening
the waste of resources in connection
with the mining, preparation, and
use of u mineral wealth.
Probably no bureau of the gov
eminent, created in recent years,
has come in response to so popular
and widespread a demand as that
which brought forth the bureau of
mines. Correspondingly large re-
suits are expected from its work by
the people of the country, and they
expect congress to make adequate
provisions for the consummation of
its plans.
"At present the efforts of the bu-
reau are confined almost exclusively
to the question of the saving of life
among the coal mines of the country,
in which branch of the mining in
dustry more than 700, 900 men are
engaged. But throughout the west
ern states in which the great metal
mining interests are concentrated,
the bureau of mines is soon expected
TO begin the organization of its work
