'ngs. This work was successful and
was accomplished with minimum cost
The old shaft was then continued a
distance of 400 feet and the ore bod
les opened on the 200O-foot level. The
developments were somewhat OF sur
prise as the work shows the extensive
and profitable znic lead ore veins in
addition to the lead-silver vein. The
old mill of the company was not equip
ped for the handling of the zinc pro-
duct and as the lead-silver vein also
contained considerable percentage OF
zinc. the milling operations proved OF
an improbable nature and the mill
was therefore closed down last fall
The property is splendidly equipped
with electric power. and with proper
milling facilities will prove to be a
large and profitable property.

GET A NINE FIRST.
But Some Managers Insist Upon
Building the Mill First.

mining and Engineering WORLDLY
A serious mistake that has been
made altogether too often is to erect
a milling plant on prospect. This
is done sometimes by promoters to
give the property they are boosting at
least the appearance of a mine, and
sometimes by overconfident owners
who believe implicitly that they are
sure to develop their prospect into
profitable mine without any compli-
cation or delay. Even assuming that
no dishonesty was intended by any
body, this policy is radically wrong. A
mill should not be built until the pro-
perty has been developed into mine,
and 1t is known that the ore reserves
are large enough and rich enough to
warrant the expenditure. Even then
thorough tests should be made to de-
termine just what method Of treat
ment is best suited to the ore that the
mine will yield.
II the mill is built first. the risk is
run that sufficient ore may never be
developed to keep mill in profitable
operation. An equally great. or per
haps greater, danger is that 1t Will be
discovered too late that the method OF
treatment provided can not be used
and the mill must -,ther be entirely
rebuilt or reequipped to meet condi-
tons that are bound to exist. All this
is expensive and may prove heavier
drain on the financial resources of the
company than it can stand. In any
case, the owners-the shareholders
are very likely to become discouraged
and quit mining in disgust, leaving
the mill to go to rack and ruin and
remain to decorate the landscape as
one of the many monuments to folly
Such ill-advised, or, perhaps unad-
vised procedure Is not good for the
mining industry. 1t has done much tt
brighten investors away. They die
not know the true cause Of the failure
and probably attributed it to inheren
treachery of mining. The moral Of this
is that mining operations should bt
undertaken only under the direction
Of competent mining men.

LARGE DEATH RATE
IN COAL MINES 1918
STATISTICS PRE-
PARED BY DIRECTOR OF
BUREAU OF MINES.

Twelve coal mioers We're killed
every working day of the year during
1913
In an army of 72S,355 men, there
were 27S5 deaths, according to re-
port issued today by the United
States bureau of mines. This is an
increase of 425 deaths over the previ-
Gus year 1912 and gives a fatality rate
Of 3.82 in every 1000 men employed as
compared with 1927 in 1912 Six thou
sand more men We're employed in 1913
and the increase in production was
between 3O,OOO,OO0 and 100000 tons.
Increase in Fatalities.
DR.. Joseph A, Holmes, director of
the bureau, in commenting upon the
record for the year said IAN exam
nation of the statistics develops the
disappointing fact that in our coal
mining operations during 1913, there
were killed 425 more men than dur
ing 1912. This Is an increase of Is
per cent in fatal accidents, with an
increase of only about 8 per cent in
coal production.
eve can find little comfort in the
suggestion that this increase may in
part be accounted for by the occur
renee during 1913 of four large mine
explosions. Furthermore, while the
total deaths from mine explosions was
213 greater in 1918 than in 1912, the
number of explosions in which more
than men were killed was only 7 as
compared with 10 explosions in 1912.
In fact the. statistics show an in
crease in fatalities during 1913 from
all underground causes except mine
fires and surface accidents.
parcentsre of Deaths Reduced.
"Some progress has been made
however, in the safety movement as
shown by the statistics for the last
years. In the four years ending De-
cember 81. 1909 the average death
rate was 397 for each 1000 men en-
ployed. In the last four years the rate
was S.GS. Comparing deaths with
production Of coal. the number of IA
talities for each one million tons min
ed during the four years ending De-
cember 81. 1909, was 500, as compar-
ed with 5.11 for the four years end
ing December 81, 1913. These latter
figures indicate a general gain of II
DER cent for safety during the last
four years over the four years pre-
ceding. But this progress has been
small as compared to that which the
country will demand during the mex
few years,

Inquiries and investigations by the
national government, upon which g.

situation may be remedied at an early
date"
The states in which the greatest
number of deaths occurred are as fol-

ginia, sS7; New Mexico, 272; ONO

miniature hotbeds to be bought complete
as to frame and glass, that measure
20 by 70 inches. and the price is Sl3j
A bed of this size is about large enough
for half n dozen plants, but the number
of flowers on Il single plant Is out of all
proportion to its size.
The question of soil is not a difficult
one. Just ordinary earth, spaded and en-
riched with a good fertilizer such as
plant food or bone mealwill answer very
well.
The violet plants, at just the right stage
for transplantng to the cold frame, are
sold by florists at the price of Sl.75 for
a dozen plants.
In January, or early February, they
will be in bloom If they are planted now,

has to remain neutral.
proprietors of hotels and cafes here
found it absolutely necessary to neutral
i2e their menus, and one attached here
with, with its neutral interpretations,
shows that the bonifaces do not intend
to take chances. The patron who desires
TO know what he's getting in advance will
breathe sigh Of relief for the change.
He will know. for instance, when he
orders "crousta6es de pommes de terre."
that it's simply creamed potatoes, and
that barsCh la Russo is plain. ordinary
soup with n dish around 1t. Then, too,
he finds it such n relief to know that
"canards rotis" is simply roast duck,
while hors d'oeuvres are olives.

simply for convenience; it was a matter
of diplomacy. The hotel men discovered
