Small and unresponsive audiences

expense of the party founded by Theo-
dore Roosevelt in this state.

AID TO THE ILLITERATE.

Washington, March 5.-Dr. P. P.
Claxton, United States Commissioner
of Education, says that there are s.
100000 illiterate men and women in
this country and many millions bare
ly able to read and write. He de-
clares this condition is national
disgrace, which can be wiped out by
the time the next Federal census is
taken, if cooperation with the States
school officers and educational associ-
ations is secured. He asks Congress
to appropriate $4,000 to start this
work, which would mean saving of
$4,000, 100000 a year, now lost to the
nation because of illiteracy. DR.. Clax-
ton says that the work of his bureau
has increased nearly fourfold within
the past four years and the demands
upon it for help from five to ten fold,
while the increase in appropriations
has been less than Is, per cent.

WHAT THE MINERS cAINEp

cause of the continued statements by
a paper in this city that the miners
gained nothing as result of the
West Virginia strike settlement, a
joint statement has been issued by
district officials and members of the
International Executive Board The
unionists show that for eight years
prior to the strike no union organizer
dared to go into the Cabin Creek sec
ton. The miners could not say their
lives were their own, and Baldwin
guards we're in complete control. The
strike resulted in abolishing the
guards, wages raised II per cent,

| checkweighmen furnished when the
men so desire, employees not compell-

companies to furnish meeting places
for the miners and adjustment of dis
putes by representatives of union and
operators. In the New River field,
after a campaign that forced union
lists to take their lives in their hands,
the principle of organization. was ac-
cepted by the operators and the fol-
lowing conditions were established:
Wages Increased, semi-monthly pay
days agreed to, checkweighman to be
selected by the miners when they SO
desire, reinstatement of all employees
discharged for agitating, board Gre
ated to settle disputes, and the right
of workers to join the union estab-
lished. In this field ninety-four new

The commissioner of mining of Col orado in one of his reports says that Statistics prove mining is a safer business that 90 per cent of all other enterprises"
 Sklillngs' market letter in c5nment- ing thereon has the following to say: 'TLe editor Las long observed that the mining industry serenely attends to it's own business and is quite indif- ferent to the unfavorable criticisms which are constantly leveled at it by some other lines of business. The mining industry has yet to be accused of trying to build up by pulling some other line of business down. It does not have to. The commissioner oi mining of Colorado was deaiing with matters of information when he ar. rived at his result quoted above.
 The mining industry is the oldest industry in the World and aside from agriculture has no rival for import ance One great trouble with many mining stock investors is that they do not take the time and trouble to inform themselves thoroughly before investing.

the process because of the unsuitabili. ty of the conditions as to the amount and nature of oil and acid, the range of temperature, and the quality Of the
 water employed. Systematic investi
 gations have been conducted by mum. erous workers in this country and in Australia with the object of unveiling the results of the immense series of combinations of these four factors So far, success has attended the efforts Of three metallurgists at Broken Hill, namely, MT. Leslie Bradford, of the Proprietary company; MT. F. J. Lyster of the Zinc Corporation, and MT. J. Nj. Owen, of the Junction North. We do not include Mir F. J. Horwood's pro cess, as it secures separation by sul- phatlzing the galena in a roasting fur mace, this introduction of fire metal lurgy diiferentiating the process from those based on Notation alone. The Bradford process is at work success. fully at the Proprietary mine. The Austrian patents for the other two have been acquired by the Minerals Separation and De Bavays Syndicate, and the processes are being worked by the Sulphide Corporation, with ex- cellent results. No official particulars are as yet available for publication relative 10 the Owen process, but in formation as to the Bradford and Lys- ter processes is public property. The former raises the blende, leaving the
 galena to sink. while in the latter the action is the reverse, the galena
 being raised and the blend sinking
 These contrary results are obtained partly by variations in the amounts of acid used and in the temperatures
 and partly by the nature of the salts
 suspended in the water. Lyster uses ? to , pounds of eucalyptus oil per ton
 of slime as a frothing agent, the or ainary temperature of the air. and no acid. The water contains salts such as sulphates of iron and lime, or nj trates sulphates, or chlorides, espec. tally of the alkalins of alkali-earths, and it is kept neutral or slightly al. kaline. Care must be taken not to have too much alkalinity. Bradford uses hot solution of common salt, at iemperature from 30 to 70 degrees G., slightly calculated by 0.1 to O.2 de- gree of sulphuric acid. He adds a small amount of oleic acid and em- ploys agitation and aeration for mak' ing the froth With careful control
