SUPREME COURT PASSES
ON TW0-JUDGE STATUTE

The twO-judge statute, passed by
the last legislature, and recently sub
mitted to the supreme court for in
depreciation, so that an intelligent
! order could be sen out relative to
the approaching election by the sec
rotary of state, was determined to-
day by the upper court, says the APP
peal.
The order of the court was that the
writ should issue as prayed for, re-
straining the secretary of state from
issuing official certificates of nomina-
ton for the office of district judge to
more than one person for each poll
teal party in any of the judicial dis
tricts of the state of Nevada, except
the second judicial district.
The opinion. as written by Justice
the statute, insofar as the legislative
intent was concerned, upon sections
3 and 4 of the act and sets forth that
inasmuch as section 3 provides for
a salary for one judge in the several
districts named, and as section 4
specifically provides for two judges
in the second judicial district and
makes especial provision that those
judges shall have concurrent and CO.
extensive jurisdiction the legislative
intent is made clear thereby that
there should be but n judge for
each of the several judicial districts,
excepting the second, and for the sec
ond there should be two judges. The
decision was signed by Justice Nor
cross, Chief Justice Talbot writing a
concurring opinion.

MONTANA BREAKS
ITS COAL RECORD

The production of coal in Montana
in 1913 was 3,240,973 short tons
valued at s5,65S,53s, being the rec
ord figures for the industry in The
state. The influences which affected
the coal-mining industry in Montana
in 1913 were three in number, &C
cording to E. W. Parker of the Uni
ted States geological survey-first an
influx of settlers into the state which
resulted in an increased demand for
domestic coal; second a decreased
consumption by the railroads because
of the increasing use of oil; and third
extensive hydroelectric developments
to supply light and power to many
cities and to mining and manufacture
ing establishments. The use of
hydrOelectric power has even extend
ed to some of the coal-mining plants
themselves. The second and third in
1uences named have naturally result
ed in a decreased demand for steam
coal, but the larger demand for do
nestle coal more than outweighed the
two adverse influences combined, and
the production in 1913 showed an in
crease over 1912 of 192,47S short
tons, or 6.3 per cent, in quantity and
of $95,344, or II per cent, in value.
The output in 1913 was the maximum
attained, as had been the case in each
of the four preceding years.
There were no serious Interrupt
lions to mining operations in 1913
on account of labor troubles.
The number of men employed in
the coal mines of the state in 1913
was $500, and they worked and aver
age of 22S days, against 3,44O men
for an averge of 220 days in 1912.
The mine workers of Montana have a
good efficiency record, and in 1912
the state showed the best average
production per man per day among
all the coal-producing states. In 1913
the average production per man for
the year exceeded that of 1912 (S93
tons against $50 tons), but the aver
age daily output by each employe de-
creased from 4.03 to 1872 tons. The
fatality record maintained by the
bureau of mines shows an unfor-
tunate increase from the low point OF
7 in 1912 to 20 in 1913.

MANGANESE ORES
PRODUCED IN 1913

The production of manganese ores
in the United States during 1913,
wholly in Virginia, according to stat
! istics collected by d. F. Hewett OF the
United States geological survey, was
1854 tons. Though this was the
largest output since 1908, the domes-
tic production has for 20 years been
negligible compared with h I'M
ports. which amounted to 345,OSO
tons in 1913. India, Russia m Bra
zil, in the order named, supply prac-
tically the entire amount Of these
ores needed by the industries of the
United States. These three coun-
tries produce, in fact, about ~ per
cent of the worlds supply.
Though there are many deposits or
ores in the United States,
most OF them are too small to FUR
nish large amounts of ore regularly.
Certain classes of h~igh-grade ore
used in the glass and chemical trades
are not known to occur in CONNER
cial quantities in the United States.
Ferromanganese is manufactured
in the United States, but almost
wholly from foreign ores; sp1egel-
eisen is manufactured from New Jer-
sew mixed manganese and zinc ores.
The production of these alloys In
1913 was 226.475 tons, which COM
pares with 128.147 tons imported.
It is a curious fact that the United
States. with enormous deposits OF
iron ore, depends on deposits In for
eign countries for most OF it's supply
of the metals used as alloys in the
manufacture of steel. such as man
ganese. nickel. chromium and ana
dunn.

Petition for Land

The Indians of the Washoe tribe
recently petitioned congress for an
allotment of land in the Carson val
ley, and say that they desire to make
their own living. twenty-five years
ago the tribe was allotted land
about twenty-five miles from Carson,
but it proved to be a desolate region
and not at all suited to agriculture.
A bill has been introduced in con-
gress appropraiting $4,000 for a
hospital. The Indians ask that the
amount be doubled, and instead OF
building a hopsital that the money
be used to purchase them homes in
the Carson valley.

RARYTES PRODUCTION, 1913

The production of crude barytes
in the United States in 1913, accord
ing to figures compiled by j. M. Hill,
of the United States geological sur
vey, was 45,29S short tons, valued at
s15O.275. Compared with the pro-
duction of the preceding year, which
was 37.47S short tons, valued at
s153,313, this was an increase of T.
$40 tons in quantity and of $2,962
in value. The average price per ton
reported to the survey in 1913 was
s3.45, compared with $4.O9 in 1912.
The total quantity of refined barytes
reported as sold by mills in 1913
was 37,O33 short tons, valued at
s525,3OO, a decrease of 1,192 tons
in quantity, but an increase OF $29,-
4O5 in value, as compared with
1913.
The greater part of the barytes
produced in the United States is USED
J as pigment in the manufacture OF
mixed paints. 1t is also used In the
manufacture of lithopone, a white
pigment. Wall paper manufacturers
are said to use some barytes Tor
giving weight to their products.
Other uses for the mineral are in the
manufacture of rubber. asbestos CO.
ment and poker chips and in tam

Very frequently one reads in the
newspaper about persons who have
lost a large amount of money, per-
haps the savings of a life time. be-
cause they did not have confidence
enough in banks to leave their mon
ey on deposit there.
They preferred to act as their
own bankers and lived to regret their
folly.
Here is a summary of a number
of recent news items of that nature:

Mrs. Kate Williams sold her home

money, $4,000, in a leather satcbel

Altoona, Pa.-When Thomas Fitz-

turned to his home from a night job
he found his wife and children all
partly under the influence of chloro-
form, while the house had been
thoroughly searched. Ten hundred
dollars had been taken from it's hid
ing place. Having no confidence in
banks, Fitzsimmons kept his savings
in the house.
Terre Haute, Ind.-Robert Slus-
ser, a glass blower, put SOS in gold
and silver in the bottom of a coal
hod and filled the latter with coal to
hide the money over night. The
next morning he made a fire and

sister, Mrs. John English, in a SUI

police that she has been robbed OF
$4,000 in currency.

ed to follow her from Duluth, and
buy property here. shipped the mon

to put the money into a bank at once,

visit Seattle they hid the $4,000 be-
tween the sheets of a bed. On re-

foolish persons who do not make full
use of the security afforded by the
banks. T. d. MACGREGOR.
