Weekly Letter of
 School of Mines.

Very recently it was discovered that mine which was being worked for lead contained platinum and palladium in very considerable quantities giving total value of "A, ,000$ per ton. For six years hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost. This is but one of the wastes in the mining industry, that goes to make up national loss of l. 900, 000$ per day in mineral wastes.
 Again, they found more palladium than was believed to exist and, although palladium is quoted at 70S per ounce, a production of ten ounces day would swamp the market. It was then neces- sary in order to sell the product, to create new demands, to experiment and find out for what it could be used. Experimentation proved that if alloyed with 80 per cent gold it would prove an efficient substitute for platinum at less than one third the cost. In many ways it has proven superior to platinum. This is one of many cases.
 The work of prevention of waste and thus increasing the public wealth is properly the work of the national and state governments. How many people have platinums, palladiums and other valuable minerals that they did not know existed, and how many people would know what to do with cases as the above.
 ', The State of Arizona needs particular attention to this matter. The small operators need much assistance and the large operators will require assistance. It is proposed to erect at the University of Arizona at Tucson as complete min ing and metallurgical laboratories as can be obtained for research work and teaching the utilization of our national wastes. Such laboratories would be state laboratories in every way, labor atories to be used for the people of the State and by the people of the state.
 Many times examining engineers are forced to turn down properties be- cause they involve something new in metallurgical practices and have no adequate facilities for testing. These do not exist in commercial testing laboratories when the problem involved is something new, and there are nc places where the engineer can work out his own problems. The plan as proposed calls for the use of such labor atories by anyone capable of using them, at no cost other than for power and material used. The plans also call for state sampling plant. This would be of immeasurable aid to the smaller producers.
 Every one in Arizona, farmer, miner and merchant alike, should get behind such movement, as it means many dollars brought into the state in in vested capital and thousands more ir payrolls.
 The present business depression anG lack of money in Arizona is because oi the fact that the mine payrolls are not being circulated, but Arizona contains millions of dollars in minerals for which the present European war has increased the demand, but which we are not pre-, pared to use.

Dor in congress would take the mat
ter to the floor of the senate and
house and wage a vigorous and open
warfare on the antitrust bills.
When the delegation made known
its intentions the president called
Attorney General McReynolds into
the conference.
1t was ascertained subsequently
that the president informed the rep
resentatives he would agree to moth
ing more than is already provided
in the bills. He fatty rejected the
demands of the labor representatives
and informed them that provision

form pledges.
Administration officials expressed
themselves as surprised when they
learned of the conference and the de-
mands of the labor representatives.
Several of them asserted that at the
time the labor provisions in the
pending legislation were suggested
and placed in the bills Representative
Lewis declared himself satisfied with
them.
The president is ready to take the
fight TO the floor of the house and
senate and to the country. He is of
the opinion that organized labor
wants the administration to sane
ton legislation which would not
stand the test of constitutionality in
the federal courts.

factory sale. If it was a fact that the
genuine Kimball, the worlds leading
prices? If the pianos were guaran-
teed? II they were new? etc.
To all such skeptical or interested
wish TO state emphaically that the
facts are Just as advertised. / have
sold thousands of pianos for the
worlds greatest manufacturers, but
have never in my experience conduct
ed a sale where conditions compelled
the giving OF such exceptional values
as those being offered at Bowlby's
Music Store at this time. Over one
half OF this immense stock is surplus
stock direct from factory, consisting
OF styles which are or will be dropped
from catalogue. Then there is large
number OF good used pianos of well
known makes which have been traded
in on Kimball player pianos. many of
them practically new. These will be
disposed Of at a fraction of their real
value.
Every piano is in first class condi-
tion and backed by the oldest and larg-
est factory in the world. The factory

Washington. D. c., May 7.-Presi-
dent Wilson's refusal to agree TO an
amendment to the antitrust bills ex-
empting labor from the application of
the Injunction laws bids fair to bring
about open warfare between the ad-
minfstration. led by the president, and
the American Federation of Labor, led
by Samuel Gompers and organized
labor's representatives in congress.
The threat OF open warfare was
made last week during a conference
between the president and a delega-
ton of organized labor's spokesman in
congress. These leaders were Repre-
sentatives Lewis of Maryland. Heating
of Colorado, Casey of Pennsylvania
and Sherwood of Ohio.
Repre- sentative Lewis and his dele
cation went to the White house and
demanded of the president that the
pending antitrust bills be amended
to exempt organized labor from the
application of injunctions, as now
provided by the Sherman law. They
told the president that the provision
in the pending measures, which
recognizes the existence of labor or
CARNATIONS and farmers alliances,
does not go far enough.
They demanded. also, that labor be
taken out entirely from the classes
Of interstate business which comes
under the application of the Sherman
law.
Also. they suggested to the presi-
dent that II this demand was not
granted the friends of organized Ia

Some Skaters

Honey-bunch and p. ID.
And also jolly Pete.
Put on their togs and stole away,
To take a little skeet.
In other words. they went to
skate
From early morn till night;
To leave the ice, they sure did
hate.
Now were they doing right?
The way they'd slip and slide
around
Was something sad to tell;
They'd hit the ice and then the
ground,
And fall headlong. pell-mell.
But worst of all, they'd skate at
night,
And when some one would fall.
The crowd would turn the flash
light on,
and then would loudly call,
To Honey-bunch or p. ID.
To Pete or even Dave,
To Joe and also Clarence,
Oh My The yell they gave.
So. go it now, while you are
young,
When you get old you can't;
But when we turn the spotlight
on,
Don't rip and rave and rant.
