AUDITOR EXPLAINS u
QUESTION OF FEES

Manning, March 26-Bismark Trib-
une--In your issue of March 18th,
under the heading of 1.-TWO Officials
Short" you claim that the experts
who yer going over the Dunn
county record found my Office short
some 5000.
This is an r as you will no
doubt see after reading my letter The
experts charged me with the 25-cent
transfer fee,, which is a fee for re-
cording deeds, from the beginning of
the county, 1908.
There is no claim for this fee from
my county until March, 1911, and
since that time only a portion Of the
auditors have been turning it in. I
had turned in this fee until the last
few months in 1918 having made a
deposit with the understanding with
our commissioners that if the money
belonged to the county that they
were to have it; if not, I was to have
it back.
This was done long before the ex-
perts came here, and this transfer fee
matter is still in the courts, even
since the 1911 law. I do not believe
that. the Tribune aimed to do me a
wrong Intentionally, and if you de-
sire, after investigating the matter,
to.so state the facts, !. would appreci-
ate it. : Et "&
- I think thats your ownrauditor is
turning inithe fees since; 1911.
sss We're it. not for politics out here
YOU would not have even heard 9f
this small transfer fee mentioned.
Very truly,

CATTLE MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 81.
"A com bination of circumstances is
working against the cattle market
that is little more effective in de-
pressing prices than the short sup
ply is in advancing prices. Killers
have advanced the price of beef to
retailers, who in turn advanced the
price to consumers, and many of
these have backed away. Newspapers
attach blame to both packers and
cattle producers, and this controver-
sy also cuts meat consumption. The
result is slight decline in prices of
all but a. few specialties Receipts

1st, 1915.

With the single provision that the
Ford Motor Company sells 100000
cars between August 1, 1914 and Aug
.ust 1, 1915, the company proposes to
give to all retail buyers of Fords dur
ing that period between S12,OO0,0OO

L. A. w. Burtch, the Ford agent

cation from the company this week.
This plan means reduction of be-
tween forty and sixty dollars on the

stupendous selling plan ever conceiv-
ed and offered. It means that fl
Henry Ford, through his thousands of
dealers throughout the world, can sell
three hundred thousand autos in
twelve months he is going to divide
$12,000,000 with his purchasers.

1913 was a record-breaking year, are
bauxite and aluminium, sulphuric acid,
feldspar, mica, pottery, and tale and
soapstone, while substantial increases
salt. These production figures all
express well-m aintained activity in
mines, smeIter, furnace, and mill
and prove that the American people
are utilizing more of the Nations
natural ersources than ever before.
A few weeks later when figures are
at hand for all of the mineral pro-
ducts, it is expected that 1913 will
be found to have overtopped both
1912 and 1907 which have hitherto
held the record.

TUCSON, July 16.-The incorpora-
ton of the Southern Arizona Mining
and Smelling company capitalized at
$6,000,000 under the laws of the state
.of Virginia and formed for the pur-
pose of taking, over the properties
of the bankrupt Imperial Copper COM
pany in Arizona, the smelling plant
of the Arizona Smelling company the
Southern Arizona railroad, and a con-
trolling interest in the ella Copper
Sulphide company, is the latest move
in the efforts of Francis Murphy to
reorganize the mining properties in
Pima county that are now idle on ac-
count of bankruptcy proceedings in
1.-THE federal court, according to news
received in Tucson yesterday.
Details of the new company are
meager, but it is reported that the
concern has issued bonds in the sum
of $1,000, 900 for the purpose of taking
over the bankrupt Imperial proper
ties.
At the examination of Murphy
president of the Imperial Copper COM
pany, last Saturday before Referee
Fritz Bernard in Tucson the witness
did not in any way refer to the new
company by name. However, he made
references both at the hearing and to
other persons of plan of reorgani-
zdIIOH, anu IL Is IuOuSuI IHdI II WAS
to this new company that he refer i
when speaking of his latest plan OF le-
organization.
Not only did Murphy state that the
company would be reorganized and
the properties put on paying basis
by the new plan,b he asserted that
the Port Lobos railroad, which will
mean so much for Tucson, will be con-
structed as a part of the general plan
of reorganization.
Just what the new company will be
able to accomplish is view of the
latest developments of the past two
weeks is quite problematical.
Local mining men and attorneys in
terested in the case were not sur
prised yesterday by the news of the
for nation of then ew company, but
they were unable to predict what the
organization might be able to do.

NATIONS MINERAL
OUTPUT SHOWS
BIG INCREASE
Shows That Industrial Activity Has
Not Decreased-CoaI Mining Shows
Spectacular Increase in All States.

The Nations output of mineral pro-
ducts of various kinds is fair meas
ure of industrial activity. For several
months now the Department of the
Interior, through the Geological Sur
vey, has been issuing its final Stats
tics of the 1913 mineral production
which confirms in detail the prelimi-
nary estimates issued early in Janu-
airy for the principal minerals. In
the large majority of cases these au-
thoritative figures tell in one way or
another the same tsory of industrial
prosperity. In coal production the
increase has been general, and it is
this very fact that serves as an I'M
mistakable index of general health in
the industrial world. But as State
after State is known to have its ban
ner coal year-West Virginia, Illinois,
Oklahoma, New Mexico, Montana,
Texas, Utah, and Pennsylvania in
both bituminous and anthracite, the
instance had it's floods, yet there was
ia substantial 6 per cent increase in
coal output, and the miners averaged
more working days in 1913 than in
1912. Twelve other States showed
increases varying from 8 per cent in
Iowa to IL per cent in Indiana and
over Is per cent in Washington, and
only Colorado, Maryland, North Da-
kota, Nevada, Idaho, and Missouri
show decreased output, the Colorado
labor troubles explaining the only
significant decrease. In similar
way, the figures of coke production
hgive large increases, and coke, it
may e noted, is step nearer the
metal industry. Petroleum production
in 1913 exceeded all records, an in
crease of 25 million arrels and u
million dollars over 1912 returns.
In metal mining, the iron and zinc
mines had banner year, while gold,
silver, lead and copper showed a
decline in many of the largest produc-
ing States. Structural materials on
the other hand exhibited gains almost
without exception. Thus 1913 was
the banner year for cement, which
gains more than IL per cent over
1912, and record outputs are also
shown for lime, buildings and gravel,
sand-lime brick, and glass sand.
Other mineral products for which
