Opportunities in Tin

Probably one of the best Illustrations of Americas o-
portunity to develop new industries is afforded by tin, says
Guy Elliot Mitchell, writing in the American Review of
Reviews on americas Mining Reserves. The known
American deposits are very small and production from
them will probably not be much affected by the present
higher prices. The benefit which the United States may
obtain from the present situation is stated by George Otis
Smith, director of the United States geological survey, in
States, as lying in the establishment of a tin smelter indus
try in this country in which Bolivian tin ores may be
smelted. Between 10000 and 10000 tons of tin concen-
trates have been shipped each year from Bolivia to Eu-
rope for smelling; but the smelling of these ores presents
no difficulties that American metalurgists cannot over
come. A few years ago a smelter was established at Bay
onne N. ], in which to smet Malayan tin ores, but a pro-
hibtive export duty was Immediately placed on Malayan
tin ores not going to some part OF the British Empire.
Such a thing could not happen in Bolivia, and indeed
only a few days ago Secretary Rosendo Pinilla of the Be-
livian legation at Washington stated the desirability of
establishing American snelterS. 'Of all the countries of
the western hemisphere he said, Bolivia is practically
the only producer of tin. The 'barilla, the tin concen-
trates, carrying from 50 to Is per cent. OF tin, has been
shipped heretofore to Europe, finding its way through the
These smelters refine the tin and it is sent to the United
States, which consumes more tin than any other country.
OF $4,000 tons of tin produced last year in Bolivia the
the shipment direct to the United States was the insig-
niicant amount of 8 tons. 1t seems now absolutely nee
essarv for the United States to get the raw product direct
from Bolivia and smelt it here. This, it occurs to me, Is
an extremely interesting proposition for the capitalists OF
this country.

Foot and Mouth Disease

The anxiety that has been expressed in several quar-
tiers in regard to the effect upon human health Of the
present outbreak OF the foot-and-mouth disease is regard
ed by government authorities as somewhat exaggerated.
The most common fear is that the milk supply might be-
come contaminated, but III view of the precautions that
the local authorities in the infected areas are very gen
orally taking, there is comparatively little danger of
this. Milk from infected farms is not permitted to be
shipped at all. The only danger is, therefore, that before
the disease has manifested itself some infected milk might
reach the market. For this reason, experts in the United
States department of agriculture commend pasteuriza'
ton. AS a matter of fact, however, pasteurization is rec
commended by the department anyway for all milk that
is not very high grade and from tuberculin tested COWS.
1t has been demonstrated by experiments which have
been made in Denmark and Germany that pasteurization
will serve as a safeguard against contagion from the foot
and mouth disease just as readily as it does against ty-
phoid fever, but in any event it must be thoroughly done
the milk must be heated to AS degrees Fahrenheit and
held at this temperature for thirty minutes.
In this country the foo~t-and-mouth disease has been
so rare that there are few recorded cases OF its transmits
sion to human beings. In 1902 / few cases were reported
in New Zealand, and in 1908 in a few instances %eruptions
were found in the mouths OF children which were believed
to have been caused by contaminated milk. In both OF
these outbreaks, the sale of milk was stopped as soon as
the disease was found among the cattle. AS long, there
fore, as the disease can be confined by rigid quarantine to
certain specified areas, the danger from this source is
very small. Should the pestileEce spread all over this
country and become as general as It has been at various
times in large areas in Europe, the problem would be
come more serious. Under any circumstances, however,
pasteurization would be an efficient remedy. Where pas
teurization is not possible, and where there is any reason
to suspect that the disease may exist, the precaution of
boiling milk is advisable.
Men who come in contact with diseased animals may
also become infected. In adult human beings the con-
tagion causes such symptoms as sore mouths, painful
swallowing, fever and occasional %eruptions on the hands,
finger tips, etc. While causing considerable discomfort,
however, the disease is rarely serious. Where 1t is very
prevalent among animals, some authorities believe that it
IS fairly general among human beings, but that the dis
turbances it causes are usually so slight that they are
not brought to the attention of the family physician. There
is however. a very good reason for everyone giving the

HEAVY SHIPMENT FOR

The heaviest single shipment Of
machinery ever hauled across the
desert will leave tomorrow or next
day for Manhattan on one OF the
huge Wittenberg wagons behind a
string of sixteen horses says the
Bonanza. The shipment is for the
new Mushett and W~ittenberg mill
which is being erected at the north

The tube is 25k feet long or four
feet longer than the largest tube
seen in the southern Nevada coun-
try. The weight of the tube il 2S,-

voyage on the Aigle through
the canal followed by 6S YES
sells of various nationalities.

vessels could pass each other
only at widely separated cross
ingS and in Great Bitter lake.
Passage for vessels drawing
more than twenty-three feet of
water was impossible, and for
vessels drawing twenty feet, it
was tedious owing to the dan
ger of grounding. But the
canal at once became a great
boon to commerce. For the
first time the great storehOuse

drawn on by Europe for bread

heat and the Weayil wheat

LEASES PRODUCE
At GOLD CIRCLE
BLE-REX SHIPS $4,000 IN
BULLION

w. l.. Bracket, owner of the
Golconda-Gold Circle auto stage
line was in town yesterday says the
Winnemucca Star.
Conditions are improving right
along in the Gold Circle district"
said Mr.. Bracket. Mine sets of
leasers are now working on differ
ent properties and most of them
are taking out ore that gives them
a good profit after being milled. The
leases which are not yet productive
have been proved up to a point
where it is assured that before long
they too will be sending ore of good
milling grade to the reduction
plants.
"The latest important strike in
the district was made recently on
the H%ardscrabble property, which
adjoins the Esmeralda on the north.
On the lease belonging to Reuben
Brown and the Rice estate the rich
shoot was struck on the 120-foot
level. About $1,000 worth of high
grade ore has been taken out within
the last ten days. Aside from the
high grade streak the vein is about
three feet wide, all milling ore that
will run $40 per ton. The Coots
mill is now running on ore from this
lease.
1.-The Rex mill is running stead
lily and is handling both company
and leasers' ore. A cleanup was
made the other day and $4,000
worth of bullion was shipped out
yesterday. The Rex people are get
ting in a supply of fuel and supplies
and expect to keep the mill running
steadily all winter.
"Camplin and Kasovich have a
good showing on their lease on the
south end of the Rex property. On
the 200-foot level they have picked
up the ledge beyond the fault and
they have two feet of ore that will
run $22 per ton. They will soon
have enough ore out for a mill run.
STOREY and Hagar have just
opened up $40 ore on the Delta
which adjoins the Gold Circle Queen
property. On this later property
Reeves and Reinmuller are leasing
and are taking out good milling ore
with a sprinkling of high grade to
sweeten it.
John Coots, who owns the
Coots Fraction, between the Hard
scrabble and the Esmeralda through
which the Esmeralda vein runs, has
a force of men working steadily and
now has about 800 tons of ore that
will run $35 per tom. This ore will
be put through his mill after the
run on the Hardscrabble ore is
finished.
Donovan and Riley, who are
leasing on the Judge claim. which
adjoins the Elko Prince on the south
are taking out good ore right along
and it is being worked in the Rex
mill.

man, one of the principal owners
of the Elko Prince has made a

diseased animals as wide a berth as possible, namely, that
otherwise they may easily carry the disease to perfectly
healthy herds.
The disease, in short, is dangerous because of the loss
that it occasions to property, and not because o. its effects
upon the health of mankind. At present all infected herds
are being slaughtered as soon as they are discovered, the
|carcasses buried, and the premises thoroughly disinfected.
Until all danger of infection has been removed in this way,
the local authorities quarantine the milk.

NOW

Today the canal has under
gone great improvements. 1t
has an average depth of nine
meters and a width of IS me-
ters at the bottom between
Port Said and the Great Bitter
lake and from the lake to Suez
an average of TIN meters. To
make these improvements 100
100000 francs were expended.
Had they not been made within
the last ten years, the Panama
canal would now take from the
Snez canal a great bulk of it's
trade. The Suez can now pass
great steamers drawing depth
OF 2S to 20 feet of water and
with their searchlights they
may easily navigate the canal
at night and pass each other at
many points. The passage is
now effected in 16 hours. The
improvements entailed an ex-
pense that caused The French
Canal company, a large num-
Der of whose shares wee held
by the khedive of Egypt, to
lose control of the canal to the
British government. But
France having withdrawn in
1904 agreed fuller to the stipu-
lation that the canal should be
a Neutral highway during war
as we'll as during peace. Had
this agreement been in effect
in 1898, Spain could have used
the canal to send her heavy
fleet to Manila to attack Dew
ey. Russia in her war with ia
pan used the canal to send her
Baltic fleet to the China sea.
The canal toll is now $1.2O per
ton the same as that of the
Panama. In 1912, 5,373 YES
sells navigated the canal. the
total receipts being 13s0OO00o
francs and the expense 47,600.-
900.

conditions they certainly are woefuliy
