MILL TAILINGS USED
FOR ROAD WATERFALL

In Missouri a considerable amount
of road material is obtained from
the tailings of the concentrating
mills at the zinc mines. This ma
terial, which is put on the market
as "chats," consists of small angu-
lar fragments of ebert and lime
stone. The zinc companies are glad
which is loaded on the cars by the
railroads of the district at a cost of
about 6 or 8 cents a ton. 1t makes
more than ordinarily good roads,
and is widely distributed all through
the middle west. 1t sells in most
places ranging from so cents to 81
a ton, but in the neighborhood of
the mines it can be had for about
Is cents a ton. 1t is used for rail-
road ballast as we'll as road making.
The annual output, according to the
United States geological survey,
amounts to about 100000 tons.
In Tennessee and Alabama a guam
tity of ebert is used for road metal,
and in many states crushed Stag
from blast furnaces also furnishes
a valuable road material. In Ala
bama, one of the large i~ron-produc-
ing states over 100000 short tons
of furnace Stag, the average value
of which was about 20 cents a ton,
was crushed and put on the roads
last year Crushed Stag is also used
as railroad ballast and for concrete
and roofing material.

NEVADA ANACONDA
LtSSEES WILL SHIP
PROPERTY Is IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION, ACCORDING TO
HI. s.. BURCH

With the lessees breaking ore and
storing it for shipment, the physical
condition of the Nevada Anaconda
Copper company's property, located
twelve miles north of Carlin, New,
on an air line, is excellent, according
to Harlow s. Burch of Murray, n
of the principal owners of the prop
erty. Mr.. Burch is considering ten
tative plans of returning to the
property in the near future.
The property is reached by a wa
gon road which at present covers ~
miles in length from Carlin. This
road is to be considerably reduced
in distance, according to the county
authorities. There are nine claims
located on Swalles mountain.
The ore has been encountered in
a contact on the vein and lies be-
tween the lime and the quartzite,
the vein filling being composed of
lime and porphyry, with a granite
footwall and a quartzite hanging
wall. The values are in silver, lead
and copper.
The main vein is known as the
Monitor, which has ben opened up
on four of the claims, known as the
Monitor No. 5, Monitor No. /, Moni-
tor No. 8 and Monitor No. 4. On
the latter the Herrard tunnel has
been driven $50 feet, with a cross
cut 90 feet in length, the tunnel
tapping the vein at a depth of 125
feet. The vein has a northerly and
southerly direction, with a dip of
about As degrees to the west.
The Elsman tunnel has been driv-
en- in 40 feet on the Monitor No. 8
and cuts the vein at the deepest
point at 70 feet. The Jack Yore tun-
mel was started As feet lower down
the hill and driven in 800 feet. Two
upraises connecting it with the Els
man tunnel were driven on the ore
and a stope was opened up, As by
100 feet, from which was shipped a
lead-silver carbonate ore.
The lessees are operating on the
property at present and saving the
lead-silver or. for shipment. They
are sorting it up to a grade of about
$35 to the ton. They have taken
sufficient surplus to the camp for
the winter months and will sink a
ffty-foot winze on the ore at about
fifty feet from the portal of the
Yore tunnel.-Salt Lake Tribune.

ARIZONA'S ANTI-ALIEN
LABOR LAW TO BE TESTED

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 16. - A test
of Arizona's anti-alien labor law
adopted at the November election
was begun yesterday when a suit was
filed in the United States court by
Mike Riach, an Austrian cook, en-
joining William Truax, a restaurant
keeper, from discharging him. He
says it conflicts with the fourteenth
amendment to the United States
statutes.
The law provides that at least so
per cent of the employees of a con-
Germ employing more than five per-
sons must be American citizens.
Riach states in his suit that he is
skilled in his work and untitled to
take up another occupation.

GOOD PROGRESS
At ROCHESTER
TRACK OF NEW RAILROAD LAID
TO THE CENTER OF
THE CAMP

Small shipments of ore are being
made from leases on the Rochester
Mines company at Rochester. The
winze below the 400 level is still
in ore. A tunnel is being sent into
the mountain to ecure a depth of
about 1000 feet on the back vein.
Several weeks ago the parent COM
pany took over the new mill inter-
ests. Good progress is being made
on the plant construction. 1t is the
expectation to be able to give the
plant a partial warming up, proba-
bly, in January.
Construction on the railroad is
track is now laid into the district as
far as the new mill. A switchboard
has been laid to the upper side of
the mill from the main track which
passes the lower side of the mill,
and seven car loads of machinery
and equipment for the plant will be
delivered Immediately. This has
been held up at the lower terminus
at Oreana for several days awaiting
completion of the work of laying
track to the mill. The mill building
is practically completed and ready
for placing the maon1nery On its
foundations. Track laying on the
railroad will be continued az rapidly
as possible to the terminus in Upper
Rochester, and this should be COM
pleted within a short time. The
Shea locomotive which was ordered
several weeks ago has ust been re-
ceived and placed in service on the
road, adding a great deal to the
transportation power of the line.
The various properties of the dis
trict are making an improved show
ing and the output of the camp is
steadily increasing. de Buck and
| Charlie and the Packard properties
in the lower camp are steadily open
ing larger m better bodies of ore.
and each of them are now erecting
ore bins at the side of the railroad
for the shipment of ore.
The Codd lease and the Big Four,
in the upper section of M camp, are
maintaining a larger output of ship
ping ore, and the production will be
greatly increased when the big mill
is ready for operation and can begin
handling the large tonnage of mill
ing ore hat has been developed in
these properties.-HumbOldt Star.

Now is a particularly good time
for us Americans to consider earn
estly the necessity that is laid upon
us to conserve our of all
kinds.
One of the Belgian delegates who
called on President Wilson recently
was greatly astonished at what he
he saw in this country of the reck-
less use of our opportunities. He
said.
"On our ride to Chicago we saw
hundreds of miles of fertile lands
lying fallow. We saw orchards and
fields with ~ungathered products
rotting on the ground. We saw
miles of young trees being destroyed
by fires started by engine sparks
and left to burn unnoticed. Every
where the farms and residences
were divided by wooden fences that
contained enough lumber to build
the homes of an empire.
"The waste of America is not con-
fined to materials. Never can a Eu-
IODCdH DtlItNt lie IudSllltuuc VI
wasted labor in America unless he
visits the cities. Hundreds of thou
sands OF men, whose energy might
be applied to production, remain in
enforced idleness.
I'm the country, wasted lands; in
the cities wasted men. On the
trees and plants ungathered food;
in the centers of population hungry
people. Those are the economic ele-
ments of American life. Why do not
the statesmen here address them
selves to bringing about an adjust
ment that will cure these evils?
eff any country in Europe had
such bounteous natural wealth, such
limitless land area fit for cultivation
and such unused labor energy, it
would be quickly transformed into
prosperity beyond dreams. Every
city lot in Belgium is cultivated and
most of our garden truck is raised
on less ground than Americans
waste in unused back yards"
Undoubtedly there are answers to
some of these criticisms Jln this
foreign observer, but we must -ad
guilty to being wasteful.
1t is probable that the great Eu-
ropean war will result in more thrift
in the United States nationally and
individually. There are several rea-
sons for this belief. Every citizen
in America will feel the strain OF
this crisis, and most of us will be
disposed to retrench and to intrench
ourselves by putting more money
into the bank as a reserve fund and
for investment purposes. y
For many years after this wal
all the savings of the people of Eu-
rope probably will go into securities
need to do some tremendous Dor.
rowing to pay the costs of the vast
struggle. So that little capital from
time to help American development,
as it has in the past. We must fl
nance ourselves.
Undoubtedly also there will be a
great after-theh wal immigrtion tC
America from the European coun-
tries. This influx will contain many
who, both from training and neces-
sity, are thrifty and in the main
they will be a desirable element in
our population. Quite possibly we
can learn some valuable lessons
from them.
