My countrymen, can you not see that the
proposed EIo1e Smith amendment, as copied
in the letter of the Postmaster General IS
entirely different from achat he 7eoec Says 1t
qC0S?
He wanted to take away from the Govern
ment all power to change rates, weights, or
zones, until Congress shouzd meet again, and
overcome another host Of paid lobbyists, paid
zoryers, and faithless Senators.
Compare the Hoke Smith amendment, as
Burleson copied it, with what Smith now pre-
tends it was, and you will realize the full
effrontery of Hole Smith
In the last sentence Of his letter, Mr.. Bur-
Lesson tells Bankhead that the amendment
(Which was Hoke Smith's) "sh0uzd not be en-
acted into I0ao."
Yet, the perfdious Hoke Smith tells ''my
fellow citizens of Georgia" that "the Post
master-General agreed with me on this sub
ject"
Did you ever know U. S. Senator to be
so completely caught in a shameless false
hood?
No wonder he is afraid to meet the people,
and divide time with one who knows his
doubledealing.

Big Coeur d'AIene Increase.

The notable increase In production may
be attributed chiefly TO the record output
and increase OF over 1900 900 ounces from
the silver-lead ores OF the Occur d Lene
region OF Idaho and increases from the
silyer-lead and other mines Of Colorado
generally. the silverg gold ores. principal
ly Of Tonopah. in Nevada; the zinc ores
o. Butte, Mont; the siliceous ores of
Oregon, and the copper. lead and gold ores
Of Arizona and California The chief de-
crease In silver production IN 1918 was
that Of over 1900 fine ounces In Utah
mainly In the yield from the Park City
and other lead ores.
The average official New York CONNER
cial price for silver in 1912 was Clio cents
a fine ounce.
The imports OF silver in 1913 were VAL
ued at s36. .062 G74 rs estimated from the
records OF the bureau OF domestic and
foreign commerce. The exports during
the same year were valued at s63,6o0s2S,

Imports In 1912 the excess OF exports
over imports VAS valued at S26. $50. $50.
The imports Of silver IN 1913 were. as
usual, chiefly In ore and bullion, and the
exports were almost wholly in refined bull
lion and coin.

The board of directors OF the Tintic

CLOSE W|LBERT MILL:
To SINK NEW SHAFT
Low Price of Lead Aids in
Reaching That Deter
mination.

Because OF the low price Of lead ore, It
mas oeen decided TO close the WllbeTt
mill in the Little Lost river country,
forty miles out from Arco, Idaho. De-
Nelopment work Will be pushed in the
mine. however by sinking a shaft from
the tunnel level 10 a depth Of 100 feet
If the ore is found continuous at this
depth, the shaft Will be continued or
down as long as 1t is found TO be open
ing up new mineral-bearing territory.
Harry Knight. who has gone TO the
property, said before his departure that
while they could have continued opera
lions d some profit, it became necessary
for the company to do this new develop
ment work. and it was thought to be
favorable time TO sink the shaft and sus-
pend all other operations while this de-
velopment was being carried on. With all
other work out OF the way. good progress
will be made and some splendid results
are anticipated
Tho mine has not been developed at
depth. and, with the shallow operations
heretofore. IL has been impossible to keep
much ore blocked out ahead. and the pres
ent move is intended TO remedy this con-
dition.
