now from what 1t was at the start, al
though 1t is, Of course, on a vastly
greater scale. In 1853, when the Clear
ing House association began operations
In New York, 1t had but one room, the
basement Of IA Wall street. Today It
owns in Cedar street white marble
building which cost over $1,0O0,OO0.
The total clearings on that first day
were 500, GAS, BOOST. In 1911 an aver
age of 1905, O16, S97 90 in checks were
collected daily through the New York
clearing house. The machinery for
handling this enormous exchange is so
simple that it takes only about half
hour in the morning and half hour in
the afternoon. Not only has the time
been reduced to this minimum. but the
amount Of money actually handled in
effecting the exchange has been equally
reduced. A daily exchange of $685.
100000 can be made with little less
than $15,OOO,OOO or 4 7-10 per cent Of
the money that otherwise would have
to be handled"

CLEARING HOUSE METHODS.
Simplicity In Handling Hundreds Of
Millions Of Dollars Daily.


Millions Of Dollars Daily.
Ida NJ. Tarbell, writing about the
New York clearing house in the Amer
lean Magazine. says in part:
"The clearing house was originally
devised to meet the difficulties which
the banks Of a city or large town find
in transacting business with one an
other. An enormous number Of checks,
drafts and other items naturally pass
between them. These must be present
ed and cashed. The work involved in
settling up daily accounts with fifty or
sixty different home banks is prodi-
gious. Seventy years ago the practice
IN New York was to keep porters rum
ming to and fro with checks and gold.
Rarely were the accounts settled often
er than once week, practice which
enabled the speculative banks to take
dangerous advantage. The banks were
always at war over their accounts. 1t
was to bring order and safety into this
unsatisfactory condition that in 1853
some flfty-twO New York banks under
aOOk to devise plan for simplifying
sheir exchanges so as to make daily
settlements possible, a result which OBJ
viOusly would make for the stability Of
them all.

desirable end is not greatly different

One feature Of the program Mr.. Ed

The gentlemen present showed their
appreciation Of this wonderful achieve
ment by frequent and lavish applause
To their establishment, MephstOphe-
les appeared upon the curtain and
bowed as II in response to their encore
This bit Of acting was so simply and
naturally done that none Of the men
present realized its Importance. As a
matter Of fact. 1t was absolutely neces-
sary in order to synchrOnize the future
action and sound of the performance.
One Of Mr.. EdisOn's assistants ex-
planned to his eager listeners the fact
that 1t was impossible to get enough
music on one record to accompany the
Aim to the end. The problem they
had been working on for weeks was
to find a way Of changing the record
while the pictures were before the
audience. This change would require
fraction Of a minute.
At last one morning about 8 o'clock,
after puzzling over the matter all

in effect in two additional states. The
sixteen states are: California, ColOra-
do, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl.
vania, South Dakota, Utah, Washing
ton.
The two states in which laws exist
covering certain communities are Mis-.
souri, and Wisconsin, the Missouri law
covering st. Louis and Kansas City
and the Wisconsin law covering Mil
waukee.
In addition, mothers pension laws
exist in Australia Victoria) and in
New Zealand.
As a rule, the laws limit pensions
to mothers of children under certain
age, varying from fourteen to eighteen
years. In some cases the money may
be paid to a person, other than the
mother, designated by the court. In
all cases there must be an investiga-
ton by the juvenile court or by an
agent of a charitable society or by
some state board or state attorney or
by commissioners directly appointed

u ferocious looking Chinese bug Of
four inches in length. which EntOmol-
ogist Hornig Is cultivating in the
southern section Of that city.
Recently he started 200 nests Of the
nantes. and each nest has produced
800 of these black beetles. which the
mandarins use like fighting cocks, and
those which have been placed in trees
in mosquito infected sections have
devastated that region of all thesmos-
quitoes, which have become their prey
Hornig has asked the citizens not to
kill the nantes when they see them or
think they will do harm. for they are
only carnivorous and feed upon mos
quitoes. When this new implement
of destruction is recognized as the off,
cial exterminator of the plasmodium
malariae. the city's bugologist be-
lleves that he will soon have the city
clear of the pests.
The nantes propagate rapidly.

 The probable realization of these costs on such low grade ore is of the greatest importance to the comrany On the assumption that 75-eent cost will be reached and possibly ex ceeded it is more than probable in few of the tendency Of Alaska's ore bodies to improve in grade over the former value that the original esti mates of the management as to an nual profits will be exceeded.

pended becadse of water. This will naturally make for some delay ia putting the property on a regular pro ducing basis, as has been rlanned, although the situation is not at all serious, says the Boston Commercial
 Similar conditions were met with in the Gray shaft of the United Globe mine when that property was first opened, and all the water that is now ir the Arizona could easiiy be taken care of if 1t were thought advisable to put in larger pumping apparatus
 The present pump Is capable of only 150 gallons per minute, and the management does not wish to go to the expense of increasing the pump tug capacity on the 18th level, prefer ring to wait till the 14th level is | opened. expecting that the 12th level will very shortly be sufficiently drained to permit resumption of op- 1 erati0ns there.
 Tn the meantime shipments are go- ing forward in a small way from the | 10th and 7th levels. from ore which 1 is taken out in development work. A 1 raise is now being made from 10th to 1 the Sth, after which stoping can be 1 commenced from the Sth level to the 7ul.
 The fourth crosscut on the 12th level had only penetrated the vein a short distance when work was discon. tinued, but the ore was of the sane character as that exposed in tbe third
 crosscut, and gave evidence of in, oreasinE richness as the vein vas eA countered.
 The vein where encountered on tEe 1O00-foot level was 27 feet wide, aud two feet shoH ed excellent ore, the rest of the vein carrying 5tringers oi good ore. The vein is being driftei on this level.

CHINO RECORD EARNINGS
Pofits at the Rate of Si.6o Per Share in Excess of Dividend
 Requirements

The Chino Copper Co. during the quarter ended Sept 30. made the greatest earnings and production thus far. recorded by the company. The total profit for the period amounted to S994SS9, as compared with S717.- 757 for the second quarter. Tie gross production of copper in concentrates was 15,1S7.OO3 pounds which com- pares with 11,999.S32 pounds for the preceding period.
 The total amount of ore milled was 507,660 tons as against 4S2,S50 tons for the second quarter The grade os ore treated was high ana amounted to 22Sst as agains: 1.SS foF the previous quarter, and 1.51,t for the
 first quarter The extraction was eGSSet. The cost of producing cop. per per pound after crediting miscel laneous earnings was S.0Sc. per pouuj
 which compares xith .71c for the preceding three months.
 The report adds that all operating factors have been satisfactory with the exception of the low grade of con 212q for the year ended Dec. S1. 1912 This is due to the abnormaliy centrates produced, this figure having been 14469t against a figure of high percentage Of iron either in the i form Of sulphides or oxides in the ore ks a result of this lower grade of concentrates and eorrespondingly greater tonnage of concentrates pro duced. tine smelting costs per yoUHd
 have been unusually high and the to-
 tai cost per pound eorrespoadingly
 so. The report adds that as a larger
 working area becomes. available. thus permitting a more uniform mixture ' of all classes of ore, the gra.ie of l concentrates will improve.
 The earnings for the quarter were computed on the basis of 15 cents
 for copper. During the period diyi. dend disbursements amounted to i S643.S75 based on the quarterly
 statement, Chino earned at the rate
 of approximately S1,400O00 in excess
 of it's dividend requirements for the
 year, or approximately $1.s6 per share

ALASKA GOLD COSTS
erating Costs Matter of Importance

Some doubt has been expressed concerning the ability of the Alaska Gold Mines to obtain a cost of D cents per ton for all expenses, which the management estimated would be possible when the property was oper- ating on a e,0eG-ton daily basis.
 Some light is thrown on this i'm portant subject in interviews recent iy given out by Sydney Jennings and Fred Bradley, two engineers of inter- national reputation. Mir. Bradley, whose long experience with the gold properties on the Juneau belt makes him particularly well qualified to ez- press an opinion concerning working conditions, states that the total cost for mining and milling at the Alaska. Juneau property is estin ated at s1 cents per ton on the basis of 12,009 tons per day. The conditions here are much the same as those which exist at the Alaska Gold mines.
 Following on this comes the state inent of Sydney Jennings of the United States Smelling & Refining O.. also thoroughly familiar with the operating conditions of this Alaska Gold belt Mir. Jennings states that he will be surprised if the cost realized at the Alaska Gold property does not reach the figure of 75 cents per ton estimated hy the management. In fact he states he believes the cos, will be lower rather than in excess Of this figure. It will be seen that the predictions of D. c. Jackling General Manager of the Alaska Gold property as to costs are practically borne out
