There were 34 men on this trip which lasted about IA months They are all dead except MT. Harrison John Glass being the last one to pass away.

every competitor that may come
along. The gravest railroad problem
is to be terminal facilities, and if a
road is to be deprived of the fruit OF
its enterprise in spending millions for
such facilities, what will be the
final outcome? Who will pull chest

reading in this country
An economist of note:
The extravaganza of our federal,
our state and our municipal govern
ments is appalling. The increase
in taxation during the last ten years
passes realization unless you analyze
the figures. So much capital is being
that an overstraining of credit is
threatened.
Palpably the present is no time to
mock investors who are manifesting
timidity. My own view is that many
influential bankers are more actuely
alarmed than the situation warrants.
Some of them forget that If they cry
Mad Dog" they may easily start a
stampede. Whether Vice President
Marshall's language is calculated to
allay fear is open to question. You
cannot, by any amount of threaten
ing. cause a man to stop feeling
afraid. Elaboration is sometimes more
effective than excoriation. Mr.. Will
son set the example by bringing in
the gallows in a now famous speech.
Mr.. Marshall has used words almost
as strong. But is such an attitude
likely to put heart into timid inyes-
tors?
Suppose instead of further threat
ening, the heads of our government
proceed to let the business world
know just what to expect-not
beautiful ~generalities, but specifically
perhaps those $4,000, 600 and a
few hundred millions more will be

NINE MONTHS DIVIDENDS.

In no other 9-months' period in
the history of American mining and
metallurgy have mines and works
shown as large dividend disburse-
ments as those in the period just
ended. And this too, despite the
general belief that the present year
has not been a profitable one as relat-
ing to mining. When LAG companies,
looking to the operations of mines
for their profits, can pay in 9 months,
S7S,772,652, it would seem that
there has been little reason for the
pessimism prevailing. Compared
with the same period in 1912 there
is shown an increase in the amount
of dividends paid of S12 1872, 100,
and with 1911 an increase of ST.
993,232. In the 1913 period 149
companies participated, while in 1912
there was 13S and in 1911, 1928. In

CAUSES Of OHIO
COPPERS SLUMP
GRADE ORE AND FAULTY
MILLING PROCESS GIVEN As
REASONS FOR PRESENT POOR
SHOWING.

While there seems to be consider
able dissatisfaction in the east over
the unsatisfactory turn of affairs de-
yeloped by the Ohio Copper company.
the real seat of Ohio's troubles seems
to have been overlooked. A good
deal has been written about the Mas
cote tunnel and the alleged excessive
rate of ID cents per ton for the three
mile haul of Ohio ore through the
tunnel to the company's mill at Lark.
Utah. However, the real fall down"
of Ohio Copper company from the
high expectations held out a few
short years ago Is due to the de-
preciation of the grade of ore han
died. as we'll as also poor extraction
in the concentrating mill.
In the prospeetuses issued by the
Ohio Copper company in 190s-9 the
estimated costs of production were
as follows: Mining, 20 cents per
ton; hauling through the Mascotte
tunnel, Is cents per ton, and milling
50 cents per ton. making a total cost
of mining and milling amounting to
s1.35 per ton.
As a matter of fact the mining
costs reckoned in the prospectus at 20
cents have now been reduced TO only
% cents per ton. thanks to the efforts
of General Manager AL Frank, and
the milling costs have also been
benefited TO the extent of a slight re-
duction from the so cents per ton es-
Innate of 190s-9. The great and
real drawback of the company is the
deterioration OF the grade of ore and
of extraction there from. In the
p~rospeetuses referred 10 the grade OF
ore was recokned as containing l.
sos per cent copper. and an extrae-
zion OF 7 per cent was expected.
The grade OF ore now being han
died by Ohio Copper company runs
from OBS to about Ito per cent cop
per, and the extraction is very often
at the sldieulously low figure OF A.
per cent. and at no time this year
has il exceeded so per cent. As a
matter of fact. the extraction has
been nearer A. cents. than so per
cent. The poor extraction Is a direct
result of the low grade ore the mine
is now yielding. There Is an Excess

SEX DETERMINATION.
Opened Up Many New Problems i'm
Evolution and Economies.

There are alarming possibilities in
the announcement by Sir Oliver
Lodge that science is on the eve of
discovering the secret of sex determi-
notion. Gharlatans on all ages have
protested a knowledge of what are
the factors responsible for the partic-
nlar sex of an infant, but their advice
has led TO many thousands of disap-
pointments. Sometimes the disap-
pointment has been shared by the
eharlatan, as when an angry monarch
In revenge for being deceived as to
the promised heir, chopped eff the
head of the court physician.
DR.. Leopold Sehenk of Vienna
claimed to have solved the problem
about ten years ago. but his theory
that a sugar diet means a girl and a
diet without sugar insures a boy has
not been pronounced correct, despite
Its apparent success in the ease of the
Roxburghe infant.
Sir Oliver Lodge. however. seems
TO be on the trail when stating that a
microscopic analysis of the joints in
plants which gave birth to both male
and female flowers may elicit the
secret.
Leaving the botanists and physio-
logists to their work. let us consider
for a moment the consequences of
success il il should be achieved. says
the San Francisco Chronicle. The
proportion of males to females could
be fixed precisely as desired. If left
TO individual within on the part of

be fairly even; but there is a new
factor in the recent decision of sew
eral states to enact eugenic laws.
II the state has a right to step in
and say who may and who may not
marry, 1t will not stop there when
possessed of the knowledge necessary

political reasons TO order an increase
Of boys or a decrease of girls. In
states where the woman vote Is pre-

Hitherto nature, warfare and the
industries have regulated the proper

Should the Lodge suggestion lead
10 a successful result, all this will be
changed. and one fears to think OF
all the possibilities when the state
shall have included the right to de-
termine sex in its ~so-called right to
determine marriage.
However, it may all prove a lost
or idle fear. like those as to the loss
of the earth's oxygen and the cooling

cuts would be made in tariffs, that

revolutionary banking legislation
would be forced through congress,
and that both foreign and home de-
mands for capital in a money market
already taut as a drum-would you.
under such circumstances, feel you
deserved abuse if you confessed you
preferred to hold on to your cash
until conditions became a little less
unsettled?
This eountry's prosperity is on too
solid a basis to be easily scared was
