Commerce, Not Art, Is
Pittine the Stage
Against Screen,
Says Elliot.

That the stage and the screen are
no more rivals than painting and
sculpture, novel or play. bread and
meat. is the opinion Of William
Elliot. the actor and producer who
has engaged himself in both fields
OF endeavor and ought to know. Mr..
Elliot is a son-in-law to David Belas-
CO and has already made his mark
as a producer independent of the
plays of his father-in-law which he
helped prepare for the .stage. Mr..
Elliot has the rosest sort Of views
regarding both the stage and the mo-
ton picture. He believes that both
will! succeed and both will be retained
in the affections of the public.
When the actor with a reputation
appears before the camera and plays
as conscientiously as he works in
front OF an audience" Mr.. Elliot
says. Il cannot see how he will pos
sibly cheaper himself. Whatever
you do we'll cannot harm you. What
Is more. I believe screen experience
to be valuable TO every actor. From
1t he can learn many fine points not
only about the art Of acting, but
ABOUT himSeit.
To see ourselves as other see u.s.
Is a desirable thing. The screen
makes this possible for the actor. ,
II one is the best critic Of his own
work. as some contend. when he sits
In Judgment on q film he has done.
he should be able to learn a great
deal for the future as to what 1t
were we'll to do and not to do. In
my opinion. actors should welcome
an opportunity to go into pictures.
Stage and screen are separate
and distinct modes of artistic ex-
preston. Though commercial inter-
ests have pitted them against each
other of late. they are not natural
rivals any more than sculpture and
painting. Each has It's particular
fitness for expressing something bet
ter than the other. I do believe that
they can be mutually helpful in de-
veloping toward a fuller medium Of
expression than we have yet known.
What that will be the future alone
can tell.
THE actors art is to express
things. To. this end. the different
hands. the shoulders. the face and
the eyes in particular. are important
aids. If you know how to use them
intelligently, there is almost moth
ing that you cannot mahe under

MANY CALLERS SEE
PRESIDENT TODAY

President Wilson kept "open house,
at the Executive Offices today.
1t was the first time that he has been
In these offices since his return from
Cornish. and the first time he had been
generally accessible to callers since the
German situation became acute. A
number Of Congressman and sightseers
called and shook hands with him, many
congratulating him on the position the
Government has assumed.
On the assumption that the German
governments request of the United
States that it suspend judgment on the
Arabic case until Germany can be heard
from foreshadows a disavowal Of the
attack and an apology. 1t Is regarded as
likely that the President will find II
possible to return to Cornish either the
latter part of this week or early next
week.
Among the callers today were Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, Sheriff Kin
kead. of New Jersey. and a group of
Jersey politicians, headed by Chairman
Grosscup, Of the Democratic State com
mittee.

Suocess Out or Failure

The Swansea camp is now operating very successfully under the Thomas lease with Ernest C. Lane, directing the developments and to whom the credit of uncoVering the present ore bodies is due-their discovery neces- sitatcd 1900 feet of dead work, and the ore was found beyond the main fanet.
 Sixty car loads of ore was shipped in September and more could be eX- tracted but the Humboldt shelter is limiting the shipments to 50 tons per day. Some of the ore is pc culiar in compOsition, the gangue be- ing mainly graphite with brecoiations of bOrnite and cholcopyrite. and very pretty in appearance. About 60 men are at present employed and the main No. shaft is down to a depth of 800 feet. While the property was idle water put the workings in very bad shape but all these conditions have now been cleared up. The mine is being systematically developed and only sufficient ore extracted to keep the workings in good and safe con- dition.

WOLVERINE ( ARIZONA

The annual report or tho Wolverine x Arizona Mining Co, for the year ended Sept. 80 shows receipts of $21G,- 526, expenditures of s60552 including an initial dividend disbursement of s23,:?A. The cash on hand is $1aS 974, an increase of s7+.663 over year ago.
 The following summary of property conditions is submitted: Work dur ing the past year was largely con- fined to exploiting a sulphide ore body situated in the eastern end of the Warren claims high up in the noun tain above the Higgins tunnel, which serves our workings as a main en- trance.
 The ore body seems to lay in an incline position following the general depth of the bedding planes of lime stone. Most ore bodies in the dis trict owe their origin to the effects of porphyry instrusions in the lime stone and as we have this contact in the Warren claim.
 Our work is carried on with refer ence to this intrusive porhpyritic

[ Estimates of melting by do<nestic consumers range from S0,000.000 to 100,000,00O pounds. but is it doubtful that there is capacity enough in this country to consume 1OO,O00,00O lbs. per month, even with the recent extensions made to manufacturing plants.
 The total production of blister cop per in September is estimated at 165, 100000 lbs, but the refined output is said to have been 5.OO0,000 to 10,- 0o0.000 lbs. less; thus, it is indicated that there was an increase in smell ters stocks of about 10.000,000 lbs, as well as an increase of 30 000 GOO ll'~. in other stocks at the refineries.
 The surplus stocks of refined cop per held in this country today are estimated at 150,O00, 900 lbs, which is 25,00O, 900 lbs less than the sur plus held on the first of this year according to the L. s. government report.
 An interesting fact is that there has been a steady gain in the sur plus since May, when stocks were at the lowest point on record. Even today the surplus is less than one months production, but the output is being steadily increased.

of radium as an important factor in geological processes has led to many analyses of rocks soils, springs and river waters for that element. while our greatest reservoir of ra- dium, the ocean, has received but little attention. Jolly, who examined samples from several oceans and seas, obtained value for the radium con tent so high that it cannot be re- conciled with the values obtained by Eve and Satterly for the North At lantic and Lloyd for the Gulf of Mexi- co. Excluding Joly's results, the author finds an average which would make the total radium content of the ocean about HOO tons
