Mr.. DAY AND THE FEDERAL.
Belief Quite General That He viii
Soon Retire

The announcement contained in the
Spokesman Review of last Tuesday
that Harry l.. Day. president and man
ager Of the Federal Mining a Smelt-
ing company. would retire on June /,
and that he would be succeeded in the
management by william J. Hall, the
present assistant manager, attracted
much attention and comment in this
city and throughout the district. The
statement was promptly denied by
Mr.. Days paper, the Times,
Wednesday morning. The paper did
not quote Mr.. Day on the subject,
merely saying that 1T may be stated
with authority that there is no truth
in the alleged news story"
For weeks past rumors have been
heard in this city that Mr.. Day would
retire from the Federal company at the
expiration Of his contract which mas
generally been understood to be June
l. and for this reason the story pub
lished in the Spokane paper created no
surprise among those who had heard
these rumors. In fact, Mr. Days re-
tilement at the end of his contract
with the company has been anticipat-
ed, and the so-called denial in his pa
per has not changed the situation in
that repsect.

amounted to 1882 tons and that from
foreign ores to 9424 tons, total Of
1866 tons, a gain Of 2.3 per cent over
the output Of 1912. Among the states,
Missouri had as usual the largest out
put, the ores from its mines yielding
l29,0lS tons, though this showed de-
crease of over 10000 tons from the
preceding year. Colorado was next
with 5S,113 tons, also a decrease Mon

If over $50 per cent. Big gains were
likewise made by New Jersey and Ok
