THE AMERICAN ISIS UE

THE AMER
Question-How much does it cost the brewer manu-
facture glass of beer?
Answer-Haf pint glass, not counting the foam,
costs little cent. The brewer pays
oneffth of one cent in taxes to the govern
ment and then he 64-1ooths of per cent
of the farm grain products and gives employ
ment to less than half of I per cent of our
able-bodied men, These figures can be had by
writing to the United States Department of
Agriculture 1t would from this that
there is some little profit in brewing beer.
Question-What is considered the average income of
saloon each year?
Answer-About ST. 5000
Question-Who pays this?
Answer-Directly it is paid by those who con-
the article which the saloon has to sell,
but indirectly it is paid by their families or
the merchants with whom they do business
Question-Is it possible enforce no-license law?
Answer-Just as possible as to enforce any law
The thing needed is honest, aw-respecting
officers in the city, county and state who are
neither afraid nor open to bribes
Question-Does the license money defend the saloons
existence?
Answer-No; the license money is blood money
unjustly taken from the saloon customers and
their unhappy families.
Question-Do the saloons ever break the law?
Answer-We have never heard that a saloon
would keep any law unless honest police
stood it with his club The saloon
has respect for the laws of either God
man. if the laws hurt its business. "The
loon is the criminals runway"
Question-Does no-cense rob of personal liberty?
Answer-No! Unless by personal liberty
mean an absolute freedom to do as
chooses without regard to consequences
upon else That kind of personal
liberty is anarchy. The sale of liquor is not
vested right. According to the United
States supreme court it is permission
rather tolerance granted by majority of
the people. If the people desire to withhold
this permission it is their right.

YELLOW TIGER GETS
ITS ELECTRIC POWER

The electric power was turned on at
way TO unwater the shaft and conduct
active mining operations. John w
Bates. under whose management the
former activities of this company We're
conducted is in charge of the new work,
which is to be carried on along liberal
lines In the cndeavor to make a pro-
ducing mine.
On the G00-foot vein Of the Yellow
Tiger a large vein was cut and assays
secured varying from a low grade prod
uct to one OF shipping grade Another
level was opened at depth of TOO feet
and from this depth a raise was started
but a heavy flow Of water caused sus-
pension OF operations. and 1t is the pres
ent plan TO unwater the deepest levels
and thoroughly prospect the territory
about these workings
1t is said the shaft passed through
the Milltown andesite and into the latte
and that the raise from the 700 level
was started with a view to exploring the
contact between these two forma tons.
where 1t is believed by the management
that important deposits Of ore exist. The
company has been reorganized, upon a
1900, 000-share basis, and Is said to be
amply financed for the campaign Of de-
velopment that has been outlined. The
opening Of commercial ore al this point

the 1170-foot level is demonstrating that
the vein is strong and carrying good

ore shoot has yet been encountered.
The east drift on this level Is still be-
ing extended on a full face Of good mill

of eight feet Of high grade ore. A new
raise. No. 4, has now been started about
fifty feet west OF No 3 raise and this
shows a width OF over six feet OF good
milling ore. The west drift on this level
was extended the usual distance, the vein
continuing TO carry good milling val
ues.
The east drift on this level was also

BROTHERS IN
GREAT LUCK AGAIN
Their Serita Property at Ma
sonic Is Reported to
Be Rich.

Notwithstanding the efforts which have
been made by the Stall brothers to keep
quiet the work which has been done in
the serila and other properties which
they have under bond, the story Of the
rich strike has leaked out, says the
Carson News. The Serita property is
the richest yet found In the Masonic dis
trict and will prove TO be wonder when
fully developed.
The mine was purchased for $4,000
and this sum has been paid. A shaft
was driven on the property to a. depth
Of 112 feet when a crosscut WAS run TO
the ledge and q small amount OF DRIFT
ing done. 1t is claimed that the drift
ing on the ledge netted about hfty-fiVe
tons Of ore and the value of this ore
Is sufficient 10 pay the purchase price
OF tho property and all the development
work which has been done. The ore Is
sacked and carefully watched. The shaft
Is double locked and no one allowed
around the property. Tho company Is
developing the other properties which ii
has under bond and is trying to secure
more ground.
The Stall brothers had bond on the
Pittsburg- Liberty for time, but let the
up financially in the purchase of other
properties.
The Perrin property, adjoining the Sc
rita, has been gazed upon with longing
eyes by the Stalls and 1t is cla aimed that
In hopes OF being able to purchase this
ground they have kept their finds quiet.
However, II is now understood that Perni
has turned his property over to another
company and 1t is more than possible that
the Stalls will now open up the land they
have and start recovering some OF the
great wealth,

be the footwall streak of the vein on the
level above. To determine this point, the
drift was surveyed and was found to
have gone past the point where the vein
drift was then started back from the
face fifty feet on some quartz spotted

SOME CHANGES IN
THE COPPER WORLD

In 1904 Calumet & Hecla was the pre-
mier copper producer of North America
with an output of S0.341 ,109 pounds In
1905. for the first time, IL lost its lead
ership, being exceeded by Anaconda by
less than 350,000 pounds.
Calumet & Hcclas output in 1906 was
the largest In It's history at 100. OPS. 2I0
pounds, but continued LIS hold on second
place IN that year as III 1907 1908 and
1909, In 1910 the big Jake producer was
passed by Anaconda, Phelps Dodge and
Utah Copper in the order named. with
Nevada Consolidated running a close
fourth. In, 1911 it dropped TO Nth place,
being exceeded that year by Nevada Com
solidated.
Since 1905. when Calumet &. Hecla
was the country's second largest pro-
ducer, It's yearly production has declined
2I2i4.000 pounds, In the meantime out
put by Anaconda as @ result of consoli-
dahon, has increased 200 900, 900 pounds
Phelps-Dodge output has increased from
SO, 900 pounds to las, ,s78,3 ,3S9 pounds.
and Utah Copper's output from 5,&73 d69
pounds 10 81. 3G6, 337 pounds.
While the production of properties out
side OF the Lake Superior district have
increased steadily. Calumet e. Hecla's s
output has decreased as a result OF the
steadily recedng value OF its famous
lode and the failure OF the attempted
consolidat!on.-Ely Record.

GOOD PROGRESS At
THE BUCKHORV MILL
Plant Should Be Operating
on Big Tonnage Gold Ore
in October.

Construction work OH the big mill Of the
Buckhorn Mines company is making good
progress, according to r. j. Siebert, con-
sulting engineer for the BuclShorn COM
pany and other Wingfeld interests, and
1t is expected that the plant will be in
operation ia the month OF October The
mill will have a capacity Of not less than
$50 tons daily and the orc, which Is nearly
all gold bearing, can be mined and
says the Goldfield Tribune.
The main tunnel, connecting the mine
workings with the MILL has been COM
pleted and is 1850 feet long. Some time
ago il was reported by the officials OF
the company that development, Which had
been conducted for two years past, had
resulted in blocking out upwards OF 3oo.-
600 tons of ore above the 300-foot level,
and this product Is estimated TO aver
age 50 per ton. a. grade that wil yield q
good profit in milling.
Southern Pacific and Western Pacific
railroads, the Buckhorn Mines company
will install oil-burning engines TO operate
its power plant, and the power will be
distance of about twenty eight miles.
The Buckhorn company is In effect a
close corporation. as there is but little
OF the stock that is not held by Mr.
Wingfield and his associates. The project
is one 10 which Mr., Wingfield has devoted
much attention and money for several
years past. and IL is believed that it Will
become one OF the important gold pro-
duccrs OF the state.

TREATISE ON HOW
TO PURIFY WATER
United States Geological Sur
vey Has Prepared Report OF
Much Importance.
METHODS ARE SIMPLE
Processes Interesting to Water
Users From the Drinker
to Manufacturer.
METHODS ARE SIMPLE

simple, direct description OF meth
ods of purifying water for drinking pur-
poses IS given in report by George A
Johnson. just published by the United
States geological survey. The report
describes the various types OF water sup
ply systems used by cities in the United
States, sets forth the principal advan-
tages and disadvantages OF each, and
gives brief history OF the development
of waterworl1s systems and the effect of
their installation on the health Of COM
nunities.
The necessity for purifying water Tor
use in cities is clearly shown, not the
least important value OF water puriftca-
ton being the insurance 1t provides
against disease. Mr., Johnson shows by
very reasonable estimates that the use
Of pure water annually saves from the
ravages Of water-borne typhoid fever
alone more than four times the cost Of
purifying the water The substitution of
pure for impure water supplies in the
United States would save annually some
5000 lives and fully 5000. 0.o00o 900.
History of Processes.
The paper includes historical sketch
OF models or systems OF water purifica-
ton, from the storage works and clarifi-
cation by alum used by the ancient Chi
nese TO the present day methods OF fill
tratlon, coagulation. and sterilization.
Preparatory treatment, in which the
water is passed through sedimentation
tanks, coagulation basins, or rougeang
filters, 10 remove a portion of its color
OF turbidity, Is discussed In detail
IN slow sand fttra ton water is passed
slowly through great beds Of fine sand,
on which il leaves It's impurities. Illus
trations OF several successful slow sand
filtration plants are given and special
features OF construction, sand-handling.
sand washing. and operation are ex.
riained and discussed. The costs OF
construction and of maintenance and
operation are shown in detail for num-
Der Of plants OF this type. The report
also describes and illustrates In a similar
manner rapid sand filters, which differ
from slow sand filters chiefly in being
constructed in smaller units and Of
coarser sand. in always having coagula-
ton as a preliminary treatment, In being
operated ABOUT 40 times as fast, and III
being cleaned by sending a reverse cur
rent OF water through the filters.
