HOW ORE IS WEIGHED
At BUNKER HILL MILL
GREAT CARE TAKEN TO SECURE
UNIFORMLY HIGH MINER.
Al EXTRACTION.

The following from the last issue of
the Engineering and Mining Journal
describes the extreme precautions ia
ken by the management of the Bun
ker Hill & Sullivan in weighing the
ore al 1t goes to the mill:
At the large concentrating mill of
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining &
Concentrating company at Kellogg,
Idaho, a total of about 1850 tons Of ore
per day Is handled. In consequence
of the extreme care which Is taken In
this mill to secure the highest posi-
BILE extraction, 1t Is believed that ac-
curate tonnage estimations of the ma
terial entering the mill are essential.
In order to insure accuracy, a rather
elaborate system of weight estimation
and checking has been established.
The actual weights are obtained
from a Blake ennison automatic
weigher, which estimates the quantity
of material passing over the inclined
conveyor belt that delivers ore from
the rock house into the mill bins. Ore
Is deposited upon this belt through
four Challenge feeders driven by belts,
so that the rate of feeding may be
made to correspond with conditions.
Weights Closely Checked.
In order hat the weight obtained
by the Blake Dennison machine can
be checked from time to time. A fifth
Challenge feeder is installed, deliver
ing at a rate equal to the combined
rate Of the other four. This machine
Is used only to check weights, and
when 1t Is put into use the others are
thrown out. A box that hold about
500 pounds of ore Is placed on a Fair
banks scale and its contents weighed
accurately and then dumped into the
Challenge feeder. While his Is being
fed onto the conveyor belt, the box Ia
filled and weighed again, the contents
then being thrown into the feeder. In
this way the actual weight of the ore
being fed to the belt can be obtained
for a measured period and compared
with the weight shown by the Blake
Dennison automatic weighing machine
during the same time. So long as the
automatic weigher checks within 50
pounds in 5000, in comparison with
the weighed parcel of ore, no
change is made, but If the error Is
greater the Weighing machine is adj
ing Is performed at intervals so that
no risks will be run of errors in the
weight of mill feed. The system is
easily managed and insures correct

The prodigious demand for metal
products, present and in prospect, has
directed attention to metal securities
never before seen in the history Nof
the country. Nor is this interest
ephemeral or evanescent. Years of
financial training can not be broke in
a few weeks or months, and those in

mining securities will, hereafter, be
permanent factors in the mining in
vestment field.
The above statement is not made
without due consideration of all the
factors surrounding these commit
ments. The major reason for the Sec
ondary position heretofore occupied by
mining securities as investments. is
because the merits of these securities
had not been properly placed before
investors. Old-time, established brok-
erage houses, trained under an old
regime, before mining occupied the
place 1t does in the industries of the
country today, would not depart from
their favorites. which had been on the
board as long as they could remember.
Their clients were made to feel that
mining was venturesome, and that the
higher returns on the capital were at
the sacrifice of stability and protec- !
ton of the principal.
Permanent Investments.
AS the permanence of the mining in
vestments have been established, and
the high yields on the investments
continue, coupled with persistent APP

Bulgaria, However, Weigh ing Victory of reutons Gained in Poland Against Renewed Activities in the DardanelleS
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1spArcHI

LONDON, Aug. 12.-The situation in Poland and the Baltic provinces is changing only little from day To day and public interest ts being turned to the Near East Where the diplomats Of the quadruple entente powers are en- deaVoring to revive the Balkan league and bring all the Balkan states over to their side and to the armies of the al- lies which are battling against the Turks on the Gallipol peninsula and in the Caucasus.
 Diplomats of all the belligerents for the moment are concentrating their at tention on Sofia for Bulgaria holds the key to the situation. It is said she Is being smiled upon and offered terri torial concessions as an inducement to join one side or another or to remain neutral. Both the German and entente ministers declared they are finding their cndeavors hindered by friends. Greece and Serbia are unwilling to concede Bulgaria parts of Macedonia which is her price for joining the aFies, while Turkey is opposing the conces- sions Austria and Germany desire her to make to insure the continued neu- trality of the Sofia government.
 Bulgaria, too it is asserted is weigh ing the victory the Teutons gained in Poland against the renewed efforts of the allies in the Dardanelles and the re ported signal victory the Russians are said to have won over the Turks in t9e Caucasus. which military experts here believe will keep the Turks quiet on that frontier for some time

Activity of Mexican Ban .dits in State of Texas, Declares Garrison, is Sit nation for the State to Handle Itself
FUNSTON Is IN
 CHARGE ON BORDER
If Conditions Seem to War rant and He Makes Re quest, Will Be Given More of the NJ O bile Troops
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcE1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The ac ;ivity of Mexican bandits on the Texas border and the situation at Vera Cruz continued to occupy attention here, al though there was less apprehension in official circles. General Funston had not asked for endorsements and no action was taken on tie appeal of Gov. Ferguson. Vera Cruz conditions are said to have improved and Carranza has issued q public announcement promising full protection to all for eigners.
 The battleships Louisiana and New Hampshire are well on their way down the Atlantic coast bound for southern waters" to reinforce the gunboat squad ron at Vera Cruz, if necessary. The collier Jupiter was ordered to that port from Newport. Secretary Garrison made plain that the war department expects the governor of Tevas to deal with purely domestic disorders in that state.
 The situation is clearly defined Secretary Garrison said, Insofar as the disturbances relate to repelling the in vasion of American territory and to border upTsSlnSS, they are iItlltI9 IoI to be handled by FunstOn's force. To the extent that the disturbances are do- mestic and within the state of Texas they are for state authorities to handle
 The state offici3Is have been in formed that the federal government IS uoWerless to interfere in these internal disturbances, unless they are beyond the control of the state and the governor certifies the conditions to the president of the United States in the proper man ner Whether the president will then order federal troops to take charge or the internal situation is q matter en- tirely within his discretion as in the recent Colorado strike case.

On His Return from Cor nish, Mr. Wilson is Given Comprehensive Account of Situation in All Phases by Secretary of State
SITUATION IS
 WELL IN HAND
Neither President Wilson Nor Secretary Lansing Inclined to Believe Fur ther Precautionary Meas ures Necessary Now
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The president on lis return from Cornish was given a comprehensive account of the Mexican situation in all it's phases by Secretary of State Lansing. The secretary told the president that official reports indicated the sit uation in the vicinity of Brownsville was of a local character, and that quiet prevailed at Vera Cruz where there had been some anti-foreign de- monstrations He outlined in detail the discussion of the peace plans at the New York conference yesterday among the American diplomats Neither the president nor. Secre- tary Lansing were inclined to view the situation as requiring further precautionary measures than those taken in sending battleships to the Mexican waters and more federal troops to the Texas border.
 The appeal to all factions will be sent as soon as the list of chiefs, generals and governors is completed. It will be telegraphed simultaneously to all parts of Mexico. With Villa announcing his willingness to sign a three months armistice for a peace conference, came word that Carranza is unwilling to enter any peace com ference
 The Villa agency here announced tonight that Carranza had flatly re fused to enter the peace conference. Enrique Llorente, the Washing ton representative of Villa, gave out letters which had passed between him and Eliseo Arredondo, a CarranZa representative. Llorente began the correspondence in observing in the press that Charles Douglas, counsel for CarranZa, had filed a brief with the state department calling attention to the presence in Washington of Luis Cabrera and Eliseo Arredondo as CarTanZa representatives, saying that either or both of them, I am as sured would be glad to confer with any element of the Mexican people with a view of furthering the com mon interest, peace and welfare of the nation"
 Llorente promptly telegraphed Villa and was instructed to begin a discus sion of peace terms. Arredondo re piled that he would refer the matter to Carranza. whose response came in the form of instructions not to enter negotiations with the Villa agent The Carranza message set forth

MAKES ATTACK
 ON PROGRESSIVES
Compares Roosevelt With Bismark and Charges In
 anguration of Identical Policy Which Made So- cialiSm Predominant
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

ALBANY, Aug. 12.-William Barnes,
 Jr, warned the constitutional con vention in session here, that if stop was not put to what he termed I"socialistic" or class legislation there would be established in this country an autocratic state similar to that in Germany denying utterly the Ameri- can theory of equality
 Incidentally he compared Roosevelt to Bismark and asserted the progress sive party has inaugurated and is advocating the identical policy which caused the socialist party in Germany ] to become the largest single group in the Reichstag.
 Barnes warning and attack on the progressiVes was contained in a speech urging that the convention adopt his amendment prohibiting the legislature from passing the minimum wage old age pensions or similar laws.
 George Wickersham. majority lead CT of the convention and former U. s. attorney general; Jacob Schurman,
 president of Cornell University, and Robert Wagner, democratic leader of
 the senate, opposed the proposal q protest against seriously con  law of the state a provision that is violation of every dictate of civilized enlightenment and progressive gov ernment," Wickersham said. 'Sacri-
 ficing everything to the MOloch of
 ideal equality. it would. instead of preventing New York initiating the example of Germany, erect this state into as impersonal and as heartless a social organization as the worst enc
 mics of Germany accuse it of being. i Schurman professed to see "dyna-
 mite in the proposal.
 For the sake of the theory gov ernment which l think is erroneous
 he said, Barnes proposes to discrim-
 mate against the industrial classes.
 Gentlemen, l warn you there is dyna-
 mite in his proposal. If you adopt it, it is liable to dissolve the existing political parties. create class antag- onism in the state, and ultimately
 impair if indeed not undermine, that l authority on which all the govern
 ment rests-the authority which all civilized states have embodied in their ! legislatures"
 ! Wagner declared the proposal was
 "so absurd in this enlightened time
 that if it came from any one with
 less intellectually than Barnes it
 would be laughed out of court inn
 mediately."
 A. T. Clearwater, former justice of
 the supreme court, made an eloquent
 appeal for the proposal The immi- grafton of people from southern and
 eastern Europe during the last twen-
 ty-five years has changed American ideals, he said, and predicted that if
 the Barnes proposal or one similar to 1 it was defeated, the country would
 regret it before the next constitution al convention.

 Secretary Lansing explained that the administration of Haitien customs by naval officers was a temporary ar rangement to prevent the revenues falling into irresponsible hands; that the state department had made no pro- vision for establishing a permanent system of American control or super vision of Haitfs customs. Such sys- tenn would have to be authorized in a treaty and ii is probable that steps in that direction will be taken as soon as the government on the island has been recognized.

Preliminary Work on Plans is Begun by President Immediately After His Return from the Summer Capital at Cornish
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The pre- liminary work on plans for strength ening the national defenses was be- gun by the president immediately after his return from Cornish. Sec retary Daniels gave the president a general outline of the plan for inn proving the navy and arrangements were made for an early conference with Secretary Garrison regarding the army.
 It was said at the White House the president would take steps as soon as possible for securing the ma terial necessary to present a complete and comprehensive plan to congress in December He has already decided that the defenses of the nation should be strengthened and will de- termine upon the details after con ferences with the heads of the war and navy departments and chairmen of the military and naval affairs committees of the senate and house.
 Then he will take up the question of providing the money necessary for the increased expenses The preSi- dent is anxious to fix on a program which will meet with the approval not only of the members of the cabinet but of congress and he hopes that politics will have no part in the consideration of the subject. Secre- tary Garrison has his report of the army well advanced.
