METAL OUTPUT OF VIRGINIA
Slight Increase in Silver and Copper
Production

The value Of the mine production Of
gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc IN
Virginia in 1912, according TO H. D. Me-
Caskey, of the United States geological
survey, was s74,s55, against S16a,394 in
1911. There were sold or treated $50
short tons of ore against l77.1s2 tons
in 1911, yielding with gold placers and
mine waters producing cement copper
1918 in gold, 9s2 fine ounces Of silver,
1883 pounds of copper, 400, 026
pounds of lead, and 4e7 235 pounds Of
zinc figured as spelterl, against So ,o64
in gold, p ounces of silver, 10000
pounds Of copper. s3o542 pounds Of
lead and 2,064,s1s pounds OF zinc in
lal1. The values, besides that of gold
in 1912 were as follows: Silver, 1904;
copper, Sfs.6ls; lead, s21, JOG, and zinc,
$4,000. All the gold yield was recover
ed from siliceous ores in 1912 and all
the silver from the refining Of copper.
The gold output was derived from small
quartz mine operations in Fauquier and
Goochland counties, the copper from py-
rite mines in Louisa and Prince William
counties, and the lead and zinc from
Wythe county, in southwestern Vir-
ginia.

80 ARE REPORTED TO

From the Steamer Nevada, Which Was
Struck BY Mine in Smyrna
Harbor Saturday.

Smyrna, May 28.-The steamer Ne.
vada, with 200 passengers on board
struck three mines in succession Satur-
day in the Gulf of Smyrna and sank.
Only 80 Of the passengers and crew are
reported saved.
The mines were strewn in the coast
waters of Asia Minor by the Turks.
to prevent an attack by the Greek fleet
on the coast towns during the Balkan
war
The Nevada was owned by the Hadji
Dauot Co. and ran in the eastern Medi-
terranean.
The Nevada was leaving the Gulf of
Smyrna when a Russian steamer was
coming in, and in order to avoid coll
lision. the frst-named vessel left the
channel and entered a mine field.
The Nevada struck three mines and
each exploded. The last was followed
by an explosion on the ship, which i'm.
mediately sank.
OF the 200 passengers so were res
cued by boats which put off from the
French cruiser Bruix, which was an
chored in the harbor.

90 tons, valued at $3.50 Most OF this
concentrate came from the Peoria dis.
trict, where little mining was done in
1912.
The shipments Of sphalerite coneen-
trates in 1912 amounted to 1929 tons,
valued at S494,3Ia. OF this output, 250
tons came from the Aibuckle mountain
region, Murray county, in southern
Oklahoma, 1881 tons from Quspaw
district, and l0,25s tons from the Miami
district. Many mines in the Quapaw

Extensive drilling operations were con-
Quoted, and several new concentrating
plants were built. At many OF the older
mines shafts were sunk to lower run
Of ore, and in consequence smaller
quantity of concentrates than usual was
produced, but the developments were
satisfactory and will probably result In
a large production. The new properties
in the northern portion OF the camp
made large yield after the plants
were started. In 1912 the Mani district
shipped 1867 tons of sphalerite concen
trates more than in 1911. and the value
of the recoverable metallic content in
creased S22o,95S.

Golf: Handicap Allowances
By "Straighf DriUe

kkTT is rather curious that those who
habitualIy receive some consid-
cradle start IN many Of the
matches they play have never surged
in revolt against the inadeQuacy Of
the odds allowed them, says the Lon
dan Times. Perhaps it is a gentle
vanity, or rather a noble ambition, to
do better that restraints them; for 1t
IS scarcely to be disputed that those
who are rated OF scratch or lower win
a very large proportion Of the matches
in which they are set to give any ap-
probable number Of strokes
Handicaps as settled by a club
committee are primarily ordained for
medal play, and the general rule is,
as is well known, that three-quarters
of the difference In handiCapS should
be the odds IN match play. The rea-
son given is that the long handicap
player requires a greater start in
score play because his total is far
more likely to be sWelled by some
one expensive error, an error that in
a match would but cost him one hole.
Theoretically this is indisputabIe. but
practically the three quarters hardly
seems a large enough fraction. Per
hans if the whole difference in strokes
were given the receiver Of start might
have a little the best of it, but even
that is doubtful; it would at any rate
work out more fairly than the present
system
OF course, for the purposes of match
play tournaments and also to facili-
tate some working arrangement among
golfers who do not know each Others
game, fixed handicaps and rigid
rule as to the proportion of strokes
are a necessity but it is not in the
least necessary that people who know
each others game thoroughly should
abide by them.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-12-26

When two golfers play much to-
gether they had far better arrange
the ODDS between them according to
their own own experience; and it will
nearly always be found that the re-
ceiver of odds demands and ultimately
gets more strokes than he would
under the present handicapping sys-
tenn When it comes to score play the
weaker players do, or at any rate, ap-
pear to do better to be sure: num-
bers are on their side, and one of them
is by the laws of chance likely to
beat the scratch player Beyond this,
however, the winner has only had
his scratch opponent in his minds eye
as one Of the field; he has not been
compelled to look at his long drives
been crushed by a sense of his own
inferiOrity.
A seeming paradox is that it is easier
to give strokes with the wind behind
rather than against it. The force of
the wind must of course be taken in
the long handicap players game is
apt to go all to pieces, so that no
amount Of strokes would avail him,
but IN the case Of a moderate wind we
believe the scratch players best chance
comes when he has it behind him
The moderate wind against him win
make the holes which he can normally
do in four very hard to accomplish
under five; yet it viii not be Suffi-
GENTLY violent to turn his adversary's
normal fives into skies, and It will be
far easier for the latter to reach the
scratch player to reach them in two
Down wind the scratch mans ad-
vantage in length becomes accentuated.
and in consequence he should have far
the easier approach shots to play
needless to say, an enormous advantage.

Trading of Mike Mowrey Is Result

~ 7. LOUIS, No, Dec. 26.-Some ball
~, players have temperament, in
- tensely developed like an opera
singers, that often leads them into a
heap of trouble Mike Mowrey has
a finely developed strain of it.
It was Mixes temperament that got
the better Of him last Decoration day
in Pittsburg, when manager Higgins
refused him ball game passes, the
equivalent of $50, and guided him
into a petty quarrel with his boss, a
spat that eVentuated last week in
MOwrey's dismissal with the brand OF
a troublemaker.
The inside story of Mowrey's first
and almost his last runin with Hug
gins was told to the writer Wednes-
Cardinal club in Piratetown DecOra-
ton day. The facts are these:
MoWrey's brother and cousin came
on to Pittsburg from Baltimore to
visit him. They arrived after the
morning game had started and gave
Mike the once over from a box back
of the players bench. Mowrey gave
them the fraternal grip and promised
to save them the expense of paying
their way into the park in the after
noon.
No PASSES For Mike.
Mike presumed that he could coax
two tickets from Higgins, a custom
that isn't uncommon in the big
leagues. But after the morning game

passed into the dressing room.

The players then hustled to the
Schenley hotel, where they had soup
and ice cream before the afternoon de-
feat AIOwrey met three of his coad-
tutors knotted around a cigr stand
after lunch and cOnfided in them that
he intended to make one more request
on Higgins and that if he was turned
down he would view the afternoon
game from the grandstand.
Higgins again declined, referring
MOwrey to Seekamp, a man MOWrey
refused to brace" MOWrey then nom
chalantly explained that he would not
play in the afternoon game.
His friends then rallied around and,
after much persuasion, got him into
uniform, after he had previously pur-
chased two tickets for his brother and
cOusiOn. They explained that by spend
ing $3.50 he probably would avoid
fine of S25 or more. MOWrey lis
tened to reason, but from that day

Higgins, a breach that widened as the
