Prospecting FOR Iron Ore.

During the. last fewsyears the Unit.
ed States Geological Survey has. re.
ceiYed so many inquiries. with regard
to methods of prospecting for iron e ],
ore, that suggestions regarding
prospecting for certain types of ore;
such as hematite and liaonite,, have
been published in an advance chapter
on iron ore from Mineral Resources
of the United States for 1911,' by
Ernest F. Burchard, copy of which
may be obtained free on application
ito the Director of the United States
Geological Survey at Washington.
Prospecting by pits, drills, and
magnetic surveys is discussed, but
owing to the variety of ores and TO
the differences in local conditions
d climate, topography, geologic as.
sociations, and structure, the sus.
gestions given are very genera NJ L
Is hoped, however, that a few CT the
fundamental principles at least may
be made clear.

Rice Crop Conditions.

The bureau of statistics of the
United States Department Of AgricuI-
ture issued its September estimate of
rice crop conditions on the 9Th ein-
staIt. A summary of the report is
as follows: Condition 1873 per cent
of q normal on Sept. /, compared
with 1858 per cent on Aug 1, 87.2
per cent on Sept. last year, and
37.9 per cent the ten year average
on Sept. /. The indicated yield per
|acre, estimated from condition re
.gorts, is 32.7 bushels, compared with
332.T bushels harvested last year, and
3s22.4 bushels the average yield har-
vested from 1906 TO 1910 inclusive.
The planted area is estimated at 710,-
100 acres, an increase of 2 per cent
over last year, and the estimated Il
tal porduction is placed at 23,000,-
! 100 bushels, about the same as the
government estimate of last year,
Thich was about 100000 bftsl,a
short Of the government estimate
Iaf the 1910. yield.
| Foreign rice markets continue high
On account of poor yields last year
| IN India, China, Java, Japan and the
Philippines. AdVices from the Far
/ East are to the effect that there is
Ins present prospect of lower prices.
lIAnother. famine is. feared in China.
In Japan the highest price for rice
fon. record was recently noted. The
general level of prices in the Far
East is around double the ten-yeaT
average. This indicates that we need
/ not fear imports of foreign rice if
our own prices reach a reasonably
high figure. The fact that all cereal
crops in this country this year are
unusually good will have to be taken
into consideration in setting prices

Beef No Cheaper for Years.

Beef steers in Chicago brought DUR
ing the early days of. August S10.25
per hundred pounds, the highest price
paid since the civil war.
NJ. r. HORNE, statistician for the
ULion Stock Yards and Transit Com
Eany of Chicago, attributes the high
price to the general drorth Of 1909
1910 In the southwestern range dis
#trict and the drouth Of 1910 In west
ern Canada
According to MFR. HORNE relief
must come from the farmers OF the
corn belt, who, with the use OF corn
and alfalfa, may be able to produce
ia greater number Of beef cattle and
at lower cost than heretofore.
For the southern states, this Is the
acceptable moment to get rid OF tho
cattle tick, that southern cattle may
not be barred from the world mar

forts to raise an additional number
Of beef steers, as prices are not like

Putting Postn1asters Under Civil
Service.

resident a AZ ftt ,ass announced plan to
remove Iae fosss % class postnaasters
from politics and place them IN the
classified civil service lis a commend
able step forward for good govern
ment. The only probable objection
that will be raised against the change
will come from the politicians, who
will see in the presidents act another
slice Of patronage slipping away from
their greedy grasp.
No reasonable excuse has existed
for not carrying out this policy be-
fore. 1t has been generally admit
ted and understood by a number Of
Mr.. Taft's predecessors that the re-
tention of this class of postmasters
as presidential appointments worked
as a handicap toward the betterment
of our postal system, but the pres
sure of the party leaders against 1t
has always prevailed.
Now that the president has soWn
the seed for an extension of the civil
service in this department, congress
should follow it up during the coming
session and remove the entire per-
sonnel Of the postal service from no
5litical influences. 1t should be car
ried up right through the third, sec
ond and first class postmasters. Men
trained in and for the service should
be appointed to these positions, in
stead Of the beneficiaries of politi-
clans and party bosses, who are in
practically every instance entirely In
experienced In their duties, and OF.
ten lacking in other essential quail
fications. New Orleans Item.

GUTHRIE, okla, Aug. Some
thing Of deadlock exists at the pres

partment at Washington and the

nouncement from Washington
In allotting the Osages in 1906. it
was provided that they should con-
tinue their tribal government, but
that the officers elected by the In
dians must be approved by the de
partment It was provided, too, that
when such approval was not given.
that vacancies would exist and that
the Usage tribal council would then
adopt regulations to fill them.
The interior department has refus
ed to approve the Bacon Rind cleo
tion, but on the other hand the
Usage council is standing pat with
Bacon Rind and refuses to make reg
ulations to fiji the position Of chief

has been sent to Washington
There Is another congressional act,
relative to the Osages however, I'M

can act and it is understood that
this will be taken advantage of and
the department itself will fix the reg
ulations to fiji the vacancies. There
is also a provision that permits the
government to put the tribal govern
ment out Of business, and this course
may be adopted.
