COMPETING FOR SMELLING ORE
Charges Now in Force and Those
of Former Years Show Con-
siderable Difference

It will be Of interest to mine owners
to know tSat there is some sharp COM
petition in sne smelling industry, which
promises to make for q considerable re-
duction in the commercialization Of ores,
says the Salt Lake Telegram. Producers
of all classes would do well to investi-
gate the situation before tying them.
selves mp with long time smelling CON-
tracts, as some have already been made
aware Of the fact that there is q material
difference in the charges now enforced
and those that were in existence in previ'
ous years. The email producer as well
as the large producer finds that there is
less penalizing and more allowance
made for all the precious metal values
in the rock that 10 shipped TO this mar
ket.
The change In conditions is due in q
large measure to the incorporation of
the International Smelling and Refining
Company and the commissioning 81 it's
initial plant at Tooele. 1t started with
the treatment of copper ore exclusively,
but 1t was soon decided to start lead fur
naces, and this end Of the business has
been more profitable than the copper
plant. With the entry OF the Inter
national Company into the local smelt-
ing field. lively time was soon inausur-
ated in the ore purchasing business. and
the competition has been so keen that
shippers were actually solicited for their
business, rather than being forced to
come into the market with their ores
and take what was offered.
The last move to be made by smelt-
ing concerns for new business is by the
United States Company. It has already
purchased some very valuable coal fields
in this State and will be In q position
within another year to supply its smelt-
ing plant at Midvale with cheaper fuel
than any Of it's competitors. This will
Rive it an opportunity to make further
reduction on It's smelling charges, and
no doubt will result in its receiving
much new business.

Record Run At Ely

That there is some big mining at Ely
there is no mistake. Recently all
previous records of shipments to the
smelters for one day were broken. In
"a hours 10, 1856 tons Of ore were landed
from the mining properties to the fur
naces. The mill and concentrates
handled the entire amount during that
time No special arrangements had
been made to handle this vast quantity
of ore and there was not hitch in the
programme.

tnat IN france these cooperative So
cieties which have been developed
with govrnment aid spend a part of
their surplus funds in the purchase
of high-grade agricultural machin-
cry. This machinery can be obtained
by the farmer upon the payment of
practically nominal fee and is
sometimes loaned gratuitously.
Though such plan is not a part
of the present attempt, the reduction
OF rates of interest on money and
the improved terms which it is ex-
pected will be obtained for the farm
er will make 1t much easier thing
for him to purchase improved ma
chinery and better his methods of
cultivation.
The American organization would
probably act in far more restricted
field than most of the European com
panies, which have many other func-
tons than the sole one of floating
bonds on farm mortgages. However,
1t would provide the essential link
between the farmer and the general
investor. President Taft is optimis-
tic that in this plan he can give the
investor a safe place for his money
and at the same time apply that
money in the development of what
he considers one of the most import
ant industries to which the United
States owes protection today.

IN BOSTON MARKETS
Steadier Feeling in Butter Market, Price
Unchanged.

Boston, June ga somewhat stead
Ter feeling is noted in the local butter
market in response to the higher range
of prices in the New York market. The
demand locally is not much livelier than
it has been, and dealers find it mpossi-
BILE to raise prices any, but there is less
pressure to sell in view of the possibility
OF an increase in the cost, indicated by
the rise in New York.
Local receipts of butter are now run
ming well ahead of those at this time
last year, but the holdings in local cold
storage plants are much smaller than
they were year ago. The receipts from
May |, the opening of the butter year,
up to, and including, Monday, were 1884,
565 packages, which converted l6296,279
pounds in the same period last year.
The stocks in cold storage are $685.
packages, which allowing go pounds to
the package would make 5033. 100
year ago. the stocks We're l54565
packages. which converted to pounds,
on the same basis, would mean 9,273,900
pounds.
An easier turn in the primary cheese
markets has had the effect of checking
the upward trend Of local prices The
market is short of fancy, new.laid eggs
and they are bringing firm prices.

YOUNG MAN LEADS IN AMERICA

Abroad the Leading Golfers Are Men In
Their Forties, While on This Side Of
the Atlantic the Best Players Are
Young Men.
The advance of John J. McDermott,
open champion of the United States,
on the British title at Muirfield, Scot
land, will afford one Of the most strik.
ing contrasts between golf in this
country and Great Britain In that
youth leads in the United States, while
age is at the forefront abroad.
1t has been suggested that II we
were to select the twenty leading anna
tours on this side of the big pond
not more than five of them would be
men who have passed the thirty-ive-
year-old mark. Chick Evans. the Chi
cago marvel, the first American anna
teur to win a big event open to pro-
fessionals, left the Northwestern uni
versity when he was junior to enter
business. He is generally regarded as
Americas most representative golfer.
Albert Seckel, who won the western
amateur championship last year, is
student at Princeton. Henry Hepburn,
the Pennsylvania state champion, is
an undergraduate at the University
of Pennsylvania.
Jerome d. Travers, the metropolitan
and New Jersey state title holder, is
still In the twenties. All the leading
players in Chicago, city famed for
its big players, are men who are either
in college or have but recently gradu.
ated. Prominent among them, In ad.
dition to Evans and Secke, are Mason
Phelps, former western champion;
Warren K. Wood, national runner up in
1910; d. E. Sawyer and Paul and
Robert Il. Hunter. The same is true
of the New York players. OF the
older players there are only Walter ].
Travis, Findlay Douglas and John NJ.
Ward.
Our present national open champion,
John McDermott, the Philadelphia boy
who is the professional at the Country
club at Atlantic City, is only twenty
two years old.
Abroad the leading golfers, both am
ateur and professional, are men in the
forties. Harold Hilton, the interna- !
tional champion, is past forty, as is
John Ball. These two men have held
the British amateur championship be-
tween them for years. The leading
professionals, Harry Vardon, James
Braid, Taylor, Duncan and other big
'pros," are approaching tie half Gen.
