OUTLOOK GOOD FOR THE METAL
MINERS.

The condition of the metal market
Is most favorable to the miners of
lead, zinc and copper in the west, and
the situation will be materially I'M
proved with the completion of addi-
tional smelling capacity for zinc ores.
Here In this district, and it Is prob
able that the same condition prevails
in other districts, there is quite a
large tonnage of zinc ore for which
there Is no market, owing to the fact
that the zinc smelling capacity of the
country is taxed to the limit by the
product of mines having smelling
contracts or of those owned by the
smelling companies The curtailment
of mineral production on account of
the European war has resulted in
making the United States master Of
the metal markets of the world. 1t
is authoritatively stated that at the
present time one-half of the worlds
production of lead comes from the
United States, 80 per cent of the zinc
and 80 per cent of the copper. This
position will unquestionably be main
tanned during the duration of the war
and for a long period thereafter, for
the work of rebuilding after the great
conflict is over will create a market
for a period of years little less than
that produced by the war.
But this has to do only with the
foreign demand for the American
metals, and 1t must be admitted that
1t Is the foreign demand either for the
metals direct or for the manufactured
goods into which they enter that is
responsible for the strong market for
lead, copper and zinc Before there
can be any great diminution in the
demand from this source there is
certain to be a pronounced improve
ment in the domestic market, and this
Isl the one upon which the American
miner must ultimately depend. With
the exception of an occasional brief
period of depression, the domestic
market has always been the main
stay of the metal producer and 1t will
be again upon the restoration of nor
NAL business conditions throughout
the United States. The chief basis
for the present business activity
throughout the country can be traced
directly to the demand for American
products for the armies of Europe,
and It is only in rare instances that
there can be found an improvement
in the domestic demand. Unless all
signs fail the next two years will wit
ness change in this respect, so that
by the time the orders from Europe
may possibly begin to show a decrease
the domestic market may be reestab-
lished which will absorb the lead, zinc
and copper production of the country
1t is of course not to be expected
that the present high prices will be
maintained. but there is every reason
to believe that a level will be reached
that may be regarded as normal
which will insure good margin OF
profit to the producer and encourage
the search for and development OF
new mines That is the condition
most to be desired, one Of perman-
ence which induces the conservative
investment of capital in mining en-
terprises and which gives assurance
of steady operation and ample re-
turns on investments. 1t is this con-
dition that spreads prosperity
throughout the land which is shared
by all the people.

oss the continent may give US revival
There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down
People gathering at the corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples
With the earnestness of speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild New Foundland shore
So they beat against the State House,
So they surged against the door,
And the mingling of their voices
Made a harmony profound,
Till the quiet street of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound.
"WiIl they do it?" Dare they do it?"

We've no time to think of men!"
SO they surged against the State
House
While all solemnly inside
Sat the continental Congress"
Truth and reason for their guide,
Ger a simple scroll debating
Which, though simple it might be,
Yet should shake the cliffs of England
With the thunders of the free.
Far aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman, old and gray:
He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron sceptered sway.
So he sat, with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell
When his eye should catch the signal
The unexpected news to tell.
See! See! The dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line
AS the boy beside the portal
Hastens forth to give the sign;
With his little hands uplifted,
Breezes dallying with his hair,
Hank! with deep, clear intonation
Breaks his young voice on the air.
flushed the peoples swelling murmur
Whilst the boy cries joyously
Ring" he shouts, Ring! grandpa,
Ring; oh ring for liberty"
Quickly at the given signal
The old belman lifts his hand,
Forth he sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land
How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom ruffled
The calmly gliding Delaware
How the bonfires and the torches
Lighted up the nights repose
And from the flames, like tabled
Phoenix,
Our glorious liberty arose.
That old State House bell is silent,
flushed now it's clamorous tongue,
But the spirit Is awakened
Still Is living-ever young;
And when we greet the smiling sun
light
On the Fourth of each July,
We will ne'er forget the bellman
Who twixt the earth and sky
Rang out loudly independence"
Which, please God, shall never die"

third. All three passed the necessary
test but the Wilson administration,
like all other administrations, saw
fit to reward party worker and the
choice fell upon Mr.. Schultz. His
appointment meets with general fav-
or in Alberta.
Mr.. Schultz expects to move the
Office into his store and give it loca.
tion near the front. Because of al
ready crowded floor space he has de.
cided to remodel the building in the
spring when sixteen feet will be add
ed on the south side. Just when the
Office will be moved, or when he will
take charge of affairs, he has not de-.
initely decided today. Mr.. Schultz
il the present mayor of the village
and has shown considerable talent in
dealing with the public at large. He
has lived here twelve years and is
successful general merchant. He
has been identified with democratic
circles in the county for many years.
In retiring from the Office MIR. Lar
son will nave the satisfaction of know
ing at all his friends. and the
patrons of the postoffice in general ap-
preciate the good service which ne has
rendered. He has held the Office of
postmaster for six years and three
months, and if he had been a demo-
crat it is hard telling how much long
er his services would have been re-
quired. He states it is his opinion
that Mr.. Schultz will prove an able
and obliging successor.
