SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE

Topeka, Kansas, April 20, 1914.
The prospects for a big wheat crcp
were never SO bright as they are this
year. This is discouraging news to
The Republicans. The Republicans
AaWe started the old cry of calamity
and bard times in order to prejudice
the people against the Democratic paI
ty, and are really hoping that crops
will not be good. By this hand times
talk do they hope especially to in
cite. the prejudice of the farmers and
their wives. The Republicans who
ere trying to get the offices believe
that the only way for them to return
20 power is to have poor crops and a
generally hard year. They point to
The shortnesE of ready cash caused
by The dnouth last year, and attribute
& to the Democratic party, but if the
drought was attributed to the Demo
cratic party, then the present crop
prospects should be credited to the
Democratic party. For the next
month the cry of the Republican press

This may sound well, and may

Ekeptical, but the last bank commits

argument. The only income the fam

The same may be said Of the tele-
phone situation over which Commits
sioner Kinkel has jurisdiction. A
large number Of telephone compan-
les, that seem to be purely mutual In
their operation, are not under the
jurisdiction of the Commission.
Other utilities or what might be
termed utilities, such as the Kansas
City Stockyard Company. or am
other company or corporation, that
deals with the public in a like man.
ner.
The commission has just delivered
an opinion, in which they take the
position that they have no jurisdic'
iton over the Stockyards Company.
This decision was arrived at after
numerous hearings and conferences
and submission Of briefs on the part
of those interested in the controversy
in the last six months. No doubt,
the Stockyards Company, and like
wise the shippers Of stock would be
gratified If the Commission would
have jurisdiction, becaue thsen there
would be am opportunity for adjust
ment Of the matters complained Of.
In this connection it Is gratifying
to knew, that the time and effcrt
spent by the Commission in the
stockyards case, is fully appreciated
by the sotck shippers, as is evident
by the statement, in the daily press
Of this week, issued by Joe Nicer,
Secretary Of the State Livestock
; Association, which statement bears
on the Stockyad controversy.
In fact2 is gatifying OF know
. that the work Of the Public Utilities
Commission generally speaking, Is
meeting with the unanimous appro
: baton Of the people Of Kansas which
shows that the judgment Of Cover
nor Hodges, in the selection Of this
I. Commission, from the beginning Of
his administration down to the pres
ent date, was excellent. And this is
one Of the many items that go to
/. make up a ninety eight per cent bust
ness administration.
There are two things that the peo-
pie of Kansas want, and that go to
make up a business administration
One Of them is the administration Of
affairs with the lowest possible ex-
pense; and the other Is, to secure the
greatest possible result for the money
THAT Is expended. And the Public
Utilities Commission IS, without Ques
ton, ably assisting the Governor in
making good both ways.

Red Rover Mine

In our issue of two weeks ago mention was made that the Red Rover mine had been acquired by business men of Phoenix, Chicago and Hannibal, Missouri, and that the property would be equipped with ad- ditional machinery more suited for further exploration. The new ma chinery has now been installed and dewatering of the workings below the 230-foot level has been com menced. As soon as this is accom- plished actual mining will be com menced. This we consider eXpe- ditious work but taking into con- sideration the fact that rich ore re- serves await exploitation in the lower levels induces those interested to sup ply every want necessary. The Red Rover has been producer of high grade copper silver ore for years, and has never been properly equip ped for systematic mining although the proceeds from shipments have at all times more than paid for de- velopment We feel reasonably sure that the Red Rover will develop into

To All Interested In Mininu

Mining men have for years de- manded revision of the mining laws There are indications that their de- mand will soon be gratified. In fact, revision is coming at a rapid pace and will be an accomplished fact be- fore we realize it. There are now pending in congress bills for mining legislation as follows:
 s. 4373 A bill to provide for the appointment of a commission to CO., dify the mining laws and suggest amendments thereto.
 s. 4405. A bill to provide for and encourage the prospecting, mining, and treatment of radium- bearing ores in lands belonging to the United States
 H. R. 13137. A bill to provide for the leasing of Coal lands in the ter ritory of Alaska, and other purposes
 A bill to authorize exploration for and disposition of oil, gas, potassium and phosphats in the public lands.
 Other bills for leasing coal lands in the United States and for various other purposes of greater or less inn portance
 Some of these bills contemplate the introduction of new practices and principles into our mining laws. Thus the leasing idea, to which many of cur miners are unalterably opposed, is contained in the Radium bill, the | Alaskan Coal bill and the Oil and | Phosphate bill, as well as in num- erou other coal land bils. The Ra- | dium bil goes still further and gives to the government the right to take possession and operate patented properties, provided the owner does not work them with reasonable dili- l gences'
 The Radium bill and the Alaskan Coal Leasing bill are thought to be urgent and are likely to be passed soon, in some form or other The others are receiving the attention o the congressional committees or mines and on public lands, and vii

the increased refinery production. and says that during that year the ac- emulation of crude copper must have been eaten into very largely. In making reference to this the pa per adds that it had in a previous number pointed out that there would be no cause for surprise if some comparatively small refiners' produc- tions were forthcoming in the month ly reports. In this connection the article adds that the January pro- duction of refined copper coincided with that forecast.
 In regard to future production we quote as follows: There is no strong prospect of important augmentation of supply during the next six months, or even during this year. If, there fore, we may expect a halting, or even receding, supply of crude cop Ter, and if the American refiners have reduced their accumulation to about what they must normally carry the logical deduction is a stationary, or even diminishing supply of refin- ed copper for a while at least"
 In continuing, the article says that absolute conclusions should rot be drawn from American refiners' sta tistics alone; that the refineries in this country have increased their ca pacity largely and are constantly grasping foreign supplies. In 1913 they took materially larger supplies from abroad, taking standard copper out of the English market and dim finishing Europe's supplies by that amount. May not the remarkably large exports from American refin- paper remarks, "be explained in part as the return of Europes own cop per, brouht hither as crude and sent back as refined? ?"
 50 much for production. With regard to consumption, European business appears to have maintained itself at high rate in spite of the stringency in finance. which lately has been greatly relieved. In the United States, the manufacture of copper fell to a low point, but We cannot rationally conceive it to have fallen so low as did the domestic de- i lieveries by the refiners. Rather dc we imagine that the manufacturers previous purchases. enabled them to i fill the diminished orders of theil customers, and that those customers were allowing their own stocks ot goods to run down. The actual use of copper may not have declined and probably did not, so much as the reports of either manufacturers ol refiners indicated.
 With regard to the prospects fol copper, we have repeatedly seen the market move just opposite to what the statistics have indicated il ought to do. About he end of 1911 the price rose when the statistics were bad. In 1913 it fell when the statis- tics were good. The explanation o1 these paradoxes is that when statis- tics and sentiment are opposed, tht wisest traders disregard the statistics
 and act according to the trend oi sentiment. In 1913 statistics were good, but sentiment was bad. IT
