Mining on Manufacturing Basis
An Industry Which Benefits Every Industry the
Would Be- Runous to Cripple It by Unjust Legislation.
From the Eutte Miner.

Comparatively few persons outside
Of the mining centers of the state
realize that producing copper an6
other metals in these days is very
much like any other manufacturing
proposition, in that only small prof
1t is made from treating the raw ma
treial.
OF course in early times when the
principal mining In Montana was OF
the placer description 1t was different
for then large quantities of gold were
frequently washed out of the ground
in short time with very little labor.
Quartz Mining Expensive.
In quartz mining 1t is found, parti-
cularly where copper and zinc ores
are involved, the cost of mine and
smelter equipment is immense and
after the wage payroll is met there
is very small margin Of profit left
for the owners of the mine
The great bulk Of the copper ores
Of Butte are low grade, and 1t is only
by handling an enormous daily ton
mage that they can be treated even
at modest profit
In Montana the mining industry has
proved particularly good one for the
state. on account of the fact that it
pays exceptionally high wages, as
compared with mining elsewhere, and
1t helps to sustain number of other
important industries.
Mining Aids Other Industries.
For instance, the mines materially
assist in keeping up the lumber bust
ness of this commonwealth, for whole
forests find their way underground in
the shape of mining timbers, and 1t
is notorious that lumberjacks and
sawmill workers draw higher wages
in Montana than in any surrounding
states.
There cannot be mining without
smelling and 1t Is found the entire
prosperity of Anaconda is dependent
upon it's reducing plant, and the
largest payrolls that Helena and Great
Falls possesses are those Of their
smelling plants
Then again all these thousands Of
men employed in the mines smelters
and lumber camps have to eat, so they
in turn make good market for the
Montana tillers of the soil. which they
would not have If 1t were not for the
mining industry.
Some persons would try to make the |
farmers of this state believe that the
miner is their enemy instead of Their
good friend.
How Mining Benefits the State.
The more money the men connected
with the mining industry receive for
their labor the better II is for the
commonwealth. for the more money /
here Is in general circulation and l.,
he channels Of business throughout
he state
On an average the ore mined in
Suite produces 300,000,000. pounds of /,
copper per year, which at Is cents 4
POUND would make $45 100000. AMI

DAVID BARTER GETS
$4,000 FOR INJURIES
IDAHO SUPREME COURT AWARDS
THIS sum FOR LOSS OF
FOUR TOES.

David Barter will get $4,000 for tn
loss Of four toes. while working in TIN
Stewart mine, according to recen
decision OF the supreme court OF Ida
no. says the Boise Statesman.
1t Is recited In the decision, write,
by Justice Sullivan and concurred II
lby Chief Justice Ailshie and Justic,
Stewart, that Barter at the time o.
the accident was at work as a loader
on a train carrying waste out Of thu
mine. The train was operated by cleo.
tricity. The regular motorman or
the train, was man named Breed.
Ing. Barter, was 30 years old and had
had experience about the mines. On
the night Of the accident, he was at
tempting to operate the motor while
pulling the train out Of the mine.
William Beaudry. the superintend-
ent. and The shift boss had requested
Breeding to teach Barter how to run
the motor, and had instructed Barter
to run the train occasionally when the
work was not heavy.
How tho Accident Occurred.
May %, 1912, Barter and Breeding
were working the night shift. The
train had passed In and out Of the
mine several times and Barter had run
the motor twice. After going in with
a train Of empty cars and loading
them he started out operating the mo-
tor. The track was clear when he
went In. On the way out, while pull
ing the train Of cars without warning
or notice Of any kind, his motor car
ran into timber truck which ha,'
been placed upon the main track by
an employe of contractor In thu
mine. The motor car on which Bar
ter was riding collided with the tim
Der truck in such a way as to crust,
his toes causing the loss OF the Sec
ond, third and fourth toes and cans
ing the joints Of the big toe to be-
come permanently stiff.
Original Damages Cut Down.
Barter sued for damages and as
result Of the trial he secured a ver-
dict and Judgment in the sum of
$500 and costs. Appeal was taken
from this Judgment to the supreme
court and numerous errors were as
signed. These were overruled but the
amount of the judgment was held to
be excessive and was reduced to $4,000
In case this Judgment is not accepted
BY Barter a new trial will be granted
BY the supreme court
Wallace Attorney Notified.
Therrett Towles, Of counsel for
Barter, received the following notifica-
ion from I. w. Hart, clerk Of the su
,reme court:
IF the plaintiff files his consent to |
/ reduction Of the Judgment to a sum |
If $4,000 within 80 days after the re-
nitittur is sent down, the district !
court is directed to reduce said judg- !
nent to the sum Of $4,000 and in case
he plaintiff fails and refuses to file |
lis consent to such reduction the tria'
curt is directed to set aside judgmen'
nd grant a new trial. each party tc
'ay his own costs on this appeal"

NOT MUCH MINING
NOW ON NORTH SIDE
PRINCIPAL OWNER OF THE
TERRIBLE EDITH PAYS Wis.
IT TO WALLACE.

Wash Snyder, one of the best known
miners on the North Side and q,
various times owner of the best gold
quartz and lead-silver properties over
there, is spending few days in Wal
lace.
Mr.. Snyder owns controlling In
terest In the Terrible Edith, a lead
silver-zlnc property on the hill above
Murray and close in to town. Under
his direction II has been worked
steadily tor the past three years, EN-.
Dloying Is or 16 men. 1t has ship
ped sorted zinc and lead ore at inter.
walls during these years. At present
but two men are working, and Mr.
Snyder says 1t is not the intention tr
operate during the winter The haul
to the RAILROAD Is steep and difficult
The work where carried on is by
hand. and In addition to these disad.
antages there Is the expense of sort
Ing, and the fact that nothing can be
realized on any of the product except
that Of a shipping grade. All of these
disadvantages can be overcome by
opening the property through a level
conveniently above the railroad. This
will eventually be done, though 1t re-
quires considerable advance capital
Such a tunnel is entirely practical and
the showing and record of the prop
erty In the upper workings amply
iustifies 1t. The Terrible Edith has
been the steadiest producer in the
north side district.
1T Is very dull on the North Side"
said Mr. Snyder, but l hope to see
revival in mining. There is much
lead-silver ore over there. and 1t
ought to be handled profitably under
the best available conditions, and
these will be brought about in time,
but just now, for various reasons,
things are almost at standstill."
Mr.. Snyder was at one time an
owner of the Katie Burnett, a well !
known gold quartz property near
Littlefeld. This he sold to the Golden
Chest company.
He Is one of the very old timers
In the Murray district and has been !,
identified with the development and i
operation Of the best gold an lead

HUMHuc MUST RUN ITS COURSE,
tSt. Louis Globe Democracy.

The increased cost of living is
world wide. 1t was used by the DEM
ocratic party to recover power in the
United States, with the claim that a
protective tariff had put up the prices
of food and other articles Of common
utility. For four months the party
now in full authority has been at work
on tariff revision. but no longer pre-
tends that it can furnish an immedi-
ate remedy for dear living. It wants
time and takes 1t freely in its tariff
revision. Prices show no tendency to
decline because the free traders are
now on top in this country. They have
ruled in England for a long time, and
prices there have advanced as much
as elsewhere. The large dose of dem
ocratic humbug must run its course

child should brush its teeth and rinse

water in the mouth and forcing it
through the teeth. If one will take
time to explain, take time to reason,

out the advantages Of oral cleanli-

This was not said in a rejecting nor
unkind spirit. There is reason.
School children should be taught
again the necessity of visiting the
toilet at regular periods. The bowels
should be regularly and naturally
evacuated. This should be done at
home before the hustle and hustle OF
school work begins. Many ailments
Of later life, especially among girls,
date from negligence of this import
ant matter. It takes more than COM
mands and a mere telling; sit down
and reason with a child. Do not de-
pend upon frightening child-no

never to a child.
Keep the mouth clean; it is germs,
