LEAD and ZINC IN
KENTUCKY IN 1912
Notable Increase Shown in Output
Of Both Metals.

According to ]. P. Dunlop, of
the United States Geological Sur
vey, ISL tons of galena concen-
trates having an average lead
content of 70.2 per cent We're
shipped TO smelters from the
fiuorspar raines in Kentucky in
1912. No shipments were re-
ported in 1911. The quantity of
zinc concentrates shipped in
creased from 4e7 tons in 1911 to
1,243 tons in 1912, and the total
value OF zinc concentrates in.
creased, from $1,000 to Sal, 391.
The recoverable metallic content
of the lead concentrates was
valued at $3.50. In some years
smelters have recovered as high
as 3 ounces of silver TO the ton
of galena concentrates, but no
recovery Of silver was reported
from the concentrates smelted in
1912. The zinc concentrates sold
comprised 1913 tons of sphalerite
of good grade and $50 tons of
zinc carbonate averaging 30. 6
per cent metal content. The es
timated recoverable spelter con.
tent was 49l tons, valued at
$67, 1913, q large increase over the
1911 output, which was 15S tons,
worth $l&,0l2, The principal
lead producers We're the Ken

Fluorspar & Lead Co., and the
LaRue Co.
The Eclipse Mining Co.. oper.
ated the Commodore nine in the
Marion district, and succeeded
in successfully milling ore deriv-
ed from the 1S5-foot level The
mill is of small capacity and the
ore difficult to treat. The aver.
age recovery Of concentrates
from ore was approximately II
per cent and the average zinc
content of the concentrates was
increased from 54.4 per cent ir
early operations to over SO pei
cent. All the sphalerite concen'
trates shipped from Kentucky ir
1912 were derived from the Com

Mrs. Fannie Walker
Winning Her Way.

The following is clipped from
recent Oklahoma paper:
six. year-olds were bending
over their books in Lincoln school.
Outside, the bees were droning
over springs first flower. The
leaves were shooting out on trees.
A frog, awakened from its long
sleep, was blinking in a shady
spot. White clouds were hang
ing. The air was hot. 1t was
tho first real warm day of spring.
Mrs. Fannie Walker, awake to
the whisperings that were dis
turbing the hoy hearts in her
room, looked up from her book
and smiled. Then she said a
most wonderful thing. 1t was
this: why don't you boys go
bare fOoted?'
And right then and there,
those boys shed. Yes, stree.
Off came shoes and stockings
and on came smiles that were
limited only to the distance be-
tween ear and ear.
Talk about a teacher being
popular!"

Alfonso, who Is passionately fond

that his mother-in-law was staying

which is apparently produced from
the actors mouth as the words are

1t is wonderful illusion Let one
suppose that it har been possible to
reproduce the court scenes during the
reign Of Napoleon Who would not
go far to see and hear a talking pic

Of one Of the mightiest figures that
ever stormed across the world could

Mr.. Edison's latest and probably

as everyone should see this most Won

At the opera house there will be
displayed Edison's latest and which
is hailed as his greatest effort, the
talking motion pictures. These pic
lures are given with a touch of real
ism by the Edison synchronism as to
make the spectator feel that he is
witnessing a number of plays given
by simon pure actors in flesh and
blood. This exhibition has been es-
tablished as a mild form of amuse-
ment, not a few persons who attend
are amateur photographers who are
eager to see what is probably the
greatest advance in their science, the
reproduction of motion and talking by
the same machine. There is little
question that talking motion pictures
will play an important part in the
future of the drama.
1t is another marvel emanating
from the brain of that wizard Of
sound and sight, Thomas A Edison.

Coming Nuptials
Cause a Furry
(By Ed L. keen.)
tLondon Correspondent of the United
Press

tlOnOOn Correspondent OF the United
Press.)
LONDON, Sept. 16.-Not having a
chance at royal wedding for a good
many years (the last one OF import
ance was that Of the present king
and queen) English court and society
circles have seized upon the fourth
coming nuptials of Prince arthur Of
Connaught and the Duchess of Fife
with an avidity that is anything but
pleasing to the young couple.
Personally the prince and the
duchess, who are to be married Oct.
Is, would much prefer to sneak of.
quietly to the South Kensington reg
istry office and have the knot tied
without any fuss or frills, for both of
them are of exceptionally retiring
dispositions-the duchess has been
known ever since her social debut as
cher royal shyness." But, of course
that being impossible, they naturally
thought they ought to have something
to say about the arrangements. These
have been taken entirely out of their
hands.
King George, having summoned his
council and formally given his consent
to the marriage Of his Every dear
cousin and niece" would doubtless
have been quite content to let the

on the job. Officially, the details are
in the hannds Of the lord chamberlain
(Lord Sandhurst), but everything has
to receive the 0. K of the mistress
Of Buckingham palace.
1t is the inalienable privilege of the
ordinary bride to choose her own at
tendants, but this was one of the
first matters to which Queen Mary
turned her after ion. OF course, the
selection Of bridesmaids was supposed
to have been made by Lord Sandhurst.
Princess Mary, the kings daughter,
heads the list. Then comes Princess
Maud, the brides sister, Princess
Pat" the bridegroom's sister, and
Princess Mary of Teck. There are
still four to be named, and there is
fine old court intrigue going on among
the ducal families to secure the ap-
proval of the queen for the daughters
The question of the best man was
vel oullS was
given no opportunity to suggest any
of his personal friends. The lord
chamberlain merely told him that the
Prince of Wales had been selected,
and he didn't have to say by whom
Wales isn't bit more tickled over
the prospect than Connaught himself.
The duchess did express one wish, and
that was that she be permitted 20
name her own trainbearers, but the
lord chamberlain courteously told her
that she would be relieved of that re-
sponsibility. Queen Maud of Norway,
King Georges sister, had already be-
spoken one place for her son, the
Crown Prince Olaf, and there was
host of little Tecks and Battenbergs
from whom Queen Mary would make
selections.
The bride also has had practically
nothing to do with the selection of
her trosseau. Paris gowns were bar
red from the start, for the court de-
mands that princesses must support
home industries. To avoid domestic
jealousies, England is to provide the
silks and velvets, shoes and gloves,
Scotland the tweed and woolens, Ire
land the linens and lace. and Wales
the cOrSetS
Even the guest list is being pre-
pared by the lord chamberlain, under
Queen Mary's direction, although as
a special favor it is expected that the
bride and bridegroom will be allowed
personally to invite a few of their
intimate friends-that is if they are
of sufficiently high rank and if there
is room for them after the royalties
have been crowded into the church
Even the date of the wedding was
fixed to suit the conveniences of the
king and queen, who will be in Scot-
land until nearly the middle of
October.

ALFONSO HURRIES HOME

1t isn't much fun being a king If
your name happens to be Alfonso
and that of your mother-in-law Prin-
cess Henry Of Battenberg. That there
is little love lost between Alfonso and
Queen Ena's mother is well known,
but society is still puzzled to learn
what new imbroglio was responsible
for the Spanish monarch's hasty de-
parture from Cowes just before the
recent regatta opened.

Food Prices Raise
Shown by Report

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The
startling increase in the cost of food
products to the consumer within the
last twenty-three years were graph
cally shown in a tabulated report to-
night by the bureau Of labor statistics
This table chronicles an increase
during that period Of from 2S.6 per
sent on flour to 1885 per cent on
bacon
The only commodity on the Ameri-
can table which vas shown to have
declined in price was sugar, upon
which the Wilson administration has
centered its fight for free trade. This
article decreased per cent.
A comparison of the retail prices
on June Is, 1918, in forty widely dis
tributed cities of the United States
with the average price in the same
cities for ten year period-1S90 %
iS99-shows the following advances
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-16

The average increase in prices Of
food on June Is, 1913, was 59.2 per
sent above the average price of food
during the ten-year period-1S9O to
lS99-3.3 per cent above the price on
June Is, 1912, and 14.4 per cent above
the prices Of June Is, 1911.
