There were 78 gypsum mines, ln- cluding quarries and pits, reported ac- tive in the United States in 1914, one of which is in Alaska. These mines supplied 6S domestic mills, of which 61 were calcining plants and ' pro duced ground gypsum only. Four new mills were reported in operation last year, three in California and one in New York. One mill, located in Ne vada, was reported under construction in 1914. About one-half of the active plants which reported on business conditions reported business practical ly the same in 1914 as in 1913, and the other half found trade poorer. A few producers considered conditions decreased cents in 1914 as con- pared with the price reported for 1913, and the average price of cal cined gypsum advanced 34 cents.

The presumed profit per day for five years amount ed to the above large sum. The said Foster and Wampler obtained the contract from the Kay Copper com pany for a reason that appeared very plain at the trial. They accumulated a pile of old junk machinery at the mine and pretended it was a con-
 centrating plant. The evidence clear
 ly showed there were no plans or specifications ever prepared for the plan and only consisted of a lot of odds and ends which could never be practically put together let alone started in operation The facts fully illustrated how careful owners of properties should be in avoiding get

Copper

One Of the largest producers or cop- per expresses the utmost confidence in the future of the metal market. He states that the lull in the buying now being experienced is perfectly normal at this time of the year and that, while the buying movement. which usually starts about the first of Au gust. may be delayed for few days, producers know consumers have the orders in hand that will require the metal and cannot delay buying long.
 It is not believed that any of the larger producers will break prices. although selling agencies represent ing some of the smaller mines may do so because the money is needed. It is stated that the best grade of Lake copper could be sold now if the producers were willing to shade their price of 23 cents, but so confident of selling at that price are they that there is little likelihood of their doing so, especially as they have not yet caught up on their orders.
 sale of electrolytic for export at 20c by a leading producer in New York rather indicates that the low quotations being made are for small lots and bears out the contention that the larger interests are holding prices. The break in standard warrants re- gently seems to have influenced sen timent on the share market and some of the smaller sellers but the big interests do not consider the fluctua- tions in Standards at this time as having any bearing on the real cop per situation
 One of the large copper producers sold copper this morning for Euro pean account for 200. The domestic consumers are holding off in buying as they are looking for a lower level before making commitments
 Tt is not believed there is any ac- emulation of copper at refineries but the output continues at record | rates. and the falling off in exports and the slow recovery in domestic | consumption outside of war orders

 ing is resumed. but against that is

HARNESS RIVER
AT BIG BEND
Mitchell Parties Talk About Canal
at Big Bend

Mitchell, Nov. S:-''Drive a cana
across the loop at Great Bend, in.
stall a power plant there and you
ear develop 5000 horsepower which
would be changed into electrical
energy and sold about one-fifth the
present rate charged by electric
companies"
This statement was made by John
l.. Nelson, formerly county surveyor
of Dawson county. after making
two surveys of the big loop at Great
Bend. 7S miles northwest of here,
but only a short distance south of
Pierre.
This gigantic loop in the Missouri
is caused by a chain of 28O hills
which forces the river to make a
circuit of % miles, coming back to
within a mile and three quarter of
where the loop starts.
Mr. Nelson says: IF a canal was
put in across the neck of this loop,
one could easily create a % foot
head of water. According to the
river gauging station at Bismarck.
the bow of the river is II ,000 feet
minimum. which would give at this
point more than 10000 horsepower,
which could readily be turned into
electrical current at one-hfth of the
cost now required by the expensive
means required to develop power in
this city,"
On several occasions companies
have looked into the proposition of
developing this power but the large
initial expense has caused all pro-
jects to be abandoned. The newly
organized Mitchell Street Railway &
lnterurban company is looking into
the feasibility of putting il. a plant
at this point, intending to market
the surplus current to surrounding
towns if it should decide to develop
the proposition.

ROCkHAM BANKER
AT ABERDEEN
b. c. Hagman Appeared and then
Disappeared Again

Aberdeen News, Nov. 5.-B. c.
Hagman, the missing cashier of a
bank at Rockham, Faux county,
arrived in Aberdeen at $50 o'clock
last evening, on a Milwaukee freight
train from the south. He got on
the freight at Mellette, and rode
this far with a grain dealer from
that part of the state, who is wei,
acquainted with fiagman.
Arriving here. Hagman again dis
appeared, and no trace of him, up
to A O'Clock this afternoon, has been
found.
Hagman's brothers, Gus and
David, and Mr. Lyon. a director of
the Rockham bank and an old friend
of the Hagman family. arrived in
the city last night, in pursuit of the
fugitive, and enlisted the help of
Chief of Police Hurst in an effort to
locate the man. Every hotel and
lodging house in Aberdeen has been
searched, but nothing could be
found of Hagman.
Hagman's brothers say he was
seen at Chelsea yesterday, and that
he wore no hat and his collar was
gone. an! he appeared to be dement,
ed or injured in some way.
Hagman suddenly disappeared
from his home in Rockham on Mon.
day night.
Officials of Faulk and Splnk coun-
ties have since Teen searching for
him, with bloodhounds, but no trace
of him was found until he took the
freight at Mellette Tor Aberdeen.
1t is stated Hagman's accounts at
the bank are apparently straight,
and no cause for his disappearance
is known. On the evening of his
disappearance. he left for Zell to
place a deposit in the bank there.
He did not reach Zell, for his auto
mobile was found at the side of the
road near that place.

Tense program as outlined last night
at the Manhattan club.
Bryan declared the program vio'
lates the principles of humanity and
challenges the spirit of Chrisianit,
wh.ca teaches US to influence by
example, not by exciting tear.
BRYAN pointed out that we now
spend more for preparedness than
for agriculture. and insisted that
this tax PAYERS are not in favor OF
increasing the fund for such pur.
poses when a change is not only un-
necessary, but contrary to our ma.
tional ideals,
The former secretary's statement
further wideus the breach between
himself and Wilson, and the indica.
tions are that even a possible breach
in the Democratic ranks will not de-
ter him from attacking Wilson'S po-
sition.
1t is believed his speech will be
the keynote of the campaign IN con.

the proposals for increasing the

NEW DEPOT NEEDED
AT 6. & N. w. STATION

The business Of the Chicago &
Northwestern R'y at Miller is suffi-
Gent to demand better accommoda-
tons than is obtained at present.
The old frame depot. freight room,
and telegrapher's office combined,
built 30 wears ago, would be about
right now for a freight house.
For the convenience of the public
a new depot and office should be
erected. This will never be done
until the people OF Miller ask for it
and insist upon 1t, because a rail-
road Go. is just like the rest of US,
and wont rebuild so long as the old
can be made to answer the pur-
pose.
The old plank platform, used ever
since the DAYS of a short train once
a day, is now only about half long
enough. The big engine, tender
and four baggage and express coach
es take up the entire platform, and
people have to get on and off trains
beyond the ends of the platform.
The men can make it but it is rather
difficult for the women.
1t Is understood that the city
power and light plant has offered to
furnish platform lights practically
free. if the Ry Company would
equip for them. But the offer was
turned down and a dinky little kero-
sene lamp put up on the depot.
The larger towns along this line,
Bookings, Huron. Pierre, all have
fine brick depots. Miller is entitled
to some improvements at the depot.
New Loading Platform
A very much needed platform has
just been erected east of the stock
yards for loading and unloading
heavy machinery, engines, threshing
rigs, etc. This platform Was built
in answer to a petition from dealers
sent to the State Railrod Commits
sion.
