Copper Belle Juoqrent

The stockholders of the Copper Belle Mining Company of Gleason have been awarded judgment in the supreme court of the United States in an action for s265,000 on pre- missory note, brought by Payne, Webber & Co. The decision is in support of one given in Tucson five years ago by Judge Campbell, who permitted number of stockholders to intervene, to show that the note was fraudulent to a degree and that consideration had not been received for much of the money alleged due.

The references com prise under Part " The Worlds Copper Supply and Production for the Nineteenth Century; Stocks and Prices; Smelter Production of Refin- ed Copper; W Norld's Largest Mines and Their Production; Exports and Imports and many other subjects toe numerous to mention.

Mica and It's Uses

We have occasionally referred to this subject and are agaIn asked questions regarding t. Taere has been a greatly increased use of this mineral and for many purposes anl occasionally there is . general m,oa craze. Whcre can it be marketed, low big has the rlates to be and could it be mined at a profit 'steen miles from a railroad, are the gener- al questions asked. Most of the mi ca produced at present is from the older areas of production, viz, Unit ed States, Canada and India.
 Commercial mica occurs in three varieties, muscovite, generally called white mica, is the commonest and varies in variety, it is an essential constituent of granite gneiss mica

Re Mapping of Globe Section Soon

Word has been received by persons interested in the geological studies of the Old Dominion, the Inspiration and the Miami mines, that Dr. Frederick L. Ransome will arrive in this district in another month for the purpose of bringing his geological surveys for the government up to date. Dr. Ran somes maps of the district have been regarded as standard for a number of years, but the rapid development of the Miami and Inspiration proper ties had caused an urgent demand for a remapping of this section.

As we had several articles on the subject of radium the following will probably prove interesting to our readers.
 Failure of Radium as a Cure
 Dr. Frederick C. Busch, who as as- sistant superintendent of the Grat- wick Cancer Laboratory. at Buffalo, has been one of the foremost in the search for cancer cure, is dying cf that disease. A growth was dis covered several weeks ago. He has declined steadily despite an effort to stay the disease by teh radium treat ment of which he has been an ad- vocate.
 The illness of Dr. Busch was ob- served when he went to the Kelly Hospital in Baltimore to continue his | experiments with radium At that time Dr. Howard A. Kelly, perhaps the most ardent American supporter of radium as a cure for cancer. op- erated on pr. Busch. Radium was left in the cavity for twenty four hours after the removal of the ma ! lignant growth

there is one which seems to be gen. erally looked upon as representing the sensible way for congress to pro- ceed to ascertain the condition of the mining industry and the wishes of mining men as to desired amend ments to our laws. That is, the ap pointment of a commission to study the subject in all it's bearings, and to prepare the draft of revised mining code.
 It has been suggested that such a commission should consist of three members all of them mining lawyers, and that it's scope should be limited to metal mines. Our belief is that it should have five members, CD an ex perienced mining attorney. CD a min l ing geologist, (3) a mining engineer l (4) representative of the U. s. Geological Survey and Bureau of Mines, and (5) a man who is himself the owner of large mining interests. | The commission should also be au- thorized to cover the entire field of mineral land laws, and all classes of | sion will only lead to still greater confusion, while rational and co-or- dinated laws should be so simple as to make law suits less frequent, and mining titles more secure.
 Now that there is evident disposi- | tion on the part of congress to grant us some attention, there should be no ] hpSitaOcV oD the mart Of n1iniDo mon in making their wants known. If you believe that the proposed commis- sion should be authorized and that it should have a liberal representation of mining men, and that general min ing law revision can fell afford to wait until such a commission has had time to report the draft of a suitable bill, please do not hesitate a moment in saying so to your con- gressment. Now is our opportunity. We shall not be heard with patience later. It will be our own fault if
 the revision under way does not re- suit in laws best suited to our own
 industry. Write to your own sena- = tors or representatives. The Hon.

Hallmarks of Platinum

Owing to the increasing cost of platinum, new alloys of gold called white gold" and palladium gold have lately come into use as a sub- stitute for platinum in the manufac- ture of jewelry. To avoid the con- fusion of these alloys with pure plat mum work three new stamps, or hail. marks, have been created by a re- cent decree for use in making jew elry that is composed entirely or ir part of platinum.
 One of the new hallmarks, a dog head, is used to stamp work of some manufacture which is to be sold ir France; another, the head of a young girl, denotes work of home manufac- ture intended for exportation; and g mask designates imported goods. IT combinations of platinum and white gold the proper stamps must be used to indicate the various metals.

year or two will be on the list of big producers. Take for instance enc large property:
 Chile Copper Said to Have 0,000, 900
 Tons Of Ore Reserves
 The Chile Copper company claims to have more than doubled its ore reserves since the first permanent financing was undertaken 8 few months ago. It now claims over 200,- 0O0,000 tons of ore, which, however, do not measure the possibilities of the property.
 Development work has been eX- tended west from the original ore body. At a point 800 feet west a ore at HOO feet. The Guggenheim interests believe that the property will be the largest in the world.
 The company has been financed for the next two years. With an au- thoriZed issue of $15,000,000 converti- ble bonds the management arranged for future needs up to the point of production.
 Just how many of these bonds have actually been sold is not stated but officials say that as the develop ment and construction work prog resses, the necessary funds will be available from proceeds of this issue The plant under construction calls for an initial unit of 10000 tons daily with the works so laid out that they can be increased in capacity when desired.
 Cheap mining costs will prevail according to official predictions. One of the favorable factors will be a small stripping charge, as the cap- ping, where it does exist, is shallow In many parts of the property, how ever, no capping at all is found. Then the mineral wealth of Peru is only being recognized in a practi- cal folm. Although its stories of fa- | bulous wealth have been handed down for centuries. However it is well known that the whole mountain range from Ecuador to Bolivia is | highly mineralized and there are cer- | tain known deposits of copper anC | silver and some of the old Spanish mines are now being reopened and there are continually new discoveries | Peru has the largest quantities o1 l tungsten near Chimbate The golC placer deposits onthe eastern side ot the Andes are said to be enormously rich. However verification of this can oily be determined by future ex- ploration, but undoubtedly both coun- tries have a great future before them

Tobacco Fools Bears.

mends tobacco in the pockets.
He ran into a big cinnamon, COM

bear struck him in the pit of the stom-
ach with his head, hurting him into
the underbrush and sinking his teeth
into his thigh. The bears teeth were
setting deeper, and he had about given
up when the bear suddenly let go, sat
up on his launches and began to
strangle, much like a dog with a bone
in his throat He continued the per.

to his feet and started up the noun
tain as fast as he could travel.

the time-honored and rather cowardly
soon to discover that success in the
undertaking brought a deeper sense OF

herself able to endure at the outset.
She found herself more utterly alone
and friendless than at any time in her

formed at Interlaken-despitea we'll

crease her feeling of loneliness and de-

men, young and old, depressed her, in
stead of encouraging that essentially
feminine thing called vanity. She
lived as one without an aim, without a
single purpose except to close one day
that she might begin the next.
After time, she went on to Luz

was gayer, and she was reused from

BELIEVE PIECEWORK is BEST
Employers of Labor Bring Strong Ar
quments to Bear in Favor OF
That System.

The point is often made that the

mum assumes that all of it's crafts
men are equally efficient and that
they should be paid accordingly. EN-
ployers are not likely to admit this al
legation, but sometimes they act as II
they also believed in a dead level
among workmen.
The president of large electrical
railway system is consistently opposed
to piecework or premium systems, not
because Of any fear of labor troubles
or the special conditions Of electric
railway maintenance, but simply on
the assumption that no shOpman can
possibly be worth more than 81 to
$3.50 a day. The shop superintendent
Of this railway has been able to
strengthen his argument for piece
work system by making careful study
| of practices in other shops, and he
| has determined that large Increase
| in the production Of some jobs could
be brought about by some form of pre-
MUM system In fact, he has calcu-
lated that the abolition of the day
rate would produce net saving or
about twenty per cent. in labor cost.
He is also convinced that the piece
work system would actually result In
better workmanship because the pres
ent day rates are too low to appeal to
good shopmen.
This has been the result on most
roads where the piecework system has
been introduced. But it seems to take
a long time to overcome the prejudice
against a workman earning more than
the ordinary wages of his craft even
when his production is corresponding
ly greater. After all. the prime con
