Inthe Australian states there's state ownership with
private leasing and this thing is coming to pass
although nowhere has there been the brutality and utter
disregard for human life shown by the cruel Rookie
fellers here.
Even though the state would desire decent working
conditions for the employees of the industries which she
owned and had leasedwhat has the state for Sc
curing these things? What means has the landlord for
changing the conditions in property leased from him?
The leases would likely be for long term Of years. and
this would make more difficult than now to change
conditions for the lease holders would have the legal de-
tense that the conditions could not be changed during their
holding.

it for West Virginia Industrial Ills and calls

He sees that the private ownership of natural

development Of the state who do not live here and
the property from which they draw their swollen

He wants the state to take the risk raise the money

out to private individuals these natural resources that
private individuals continue to make private profits
out of these public needs.
Absolutely the result could be obtained by tax

SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1915

MANY has undergone some striking developments, and
it is needless to say that they possess the greatest pos
sible interest for this country. The intensity of all
that is dramatic about them is possibly increased for
us by the knowledge that, absorbing as they are, they
lie in many respects beyond the sphere of unbridled
eign countries has many pitfalls even when circum-
stances are normal. But in a situation where we have
great interests of Our own at stake and where 1t is
improbable, therefore, that we should be able to weigh
impartiallv all that affects the action of others, there
is the double danger of deceiving ourselves as to the
facts and of deceiving Others as to our own temper
and point of view. We cannot help being keenly abb
sorbed in the progress of Americas attitude. The
one thing we must not aspire to do is to solve her
problems for her.
The position of President Wilson as the custodian
of his fellow citizens honor and of their moral instinct
has been more sharply defined through the resignation
of Mr.. Bryan. The majority of Englishmen will be
frankly unable to understand the course followed by
the ex-secretary of state. They cannot discern in the
text of the presidents successive notes any reason
why his colleague should have signed the one and
rejected the other. The documents appear identical
in their substance and in their tone; where the second
acquires added significance appears to be in the simple
fact of its iterations. Mr.. BryanS detection is a time
" reminder of the various unresolved elements OF the
situation which the president has to handle, and at
til same time it has served to throw into greater relief
the decisiveness Of the presidents own Judgment. The
episode has given a renewed demonstration that DIR.
Wilson's course is not any passive resultant OF forces,
but is determined by a clear grasp of landmarks and a
well-weighted and tenacious view OF policy. The
president wrote his first note and carried his cabinet
along with him. He wrote his second, received the
resignation of his nearest colleague and dispatched it
all the same. Neither America nor her friends can
have any doubt that the helm is in a firm hand allied
with an unc1ouded brain and a serene resolution.

Increased Mining Activity

The United States Geological Survey announces that
it has received reports from Y. c. Heikes of satisfactory
conditions in Nevada that promise we'll for the 1915 out
put of metals. Since May the mines and mining districts
of Nevada are more lively than they have been in years
and more ore is / being shipped than for months past.
Over 100 cars of ore per month are being shipped from
the yellow Pine district, in Clark county, where nearly
every zinc and copper property is working, but zinc pro-
ducers without contracts for their products are experience
ing a hard time selling it at the present high prices. The
silver mills at IonOpah are operating at usual capacity,
treating about 10000 tons of ore weekly.
On the Comstock lode the pumps of the Mexican and
Ophir mines have lowered the water to the 200 level.
Nothing that has happened on the Comstock in twenty
five years is of such Importance as a vast quantity of viz
gin ground that has been opened up in the north end
mines. Last month the first ore in thirty years was
brought up from the 900 level of the Comstock. RO-
chester district is equipped with a custom mill and recent
~ made a second shipment of silver bullion valued at 500
900 after a run of sixteen days. The Nevada CONSOLIDATE
ed mill and smelter at Ely are operating at full capacity.
A flotation process has been added to its concentration.
At Thompson the Mason Valley smelter remains idle and
nothing is being made public concerning the success of
the teaching process on Nevada Douglas copper ores. The
gold production for Nevada will likely not exceed the out
put Of 1913, although greater activity has been reported
from Seven Thoughts and Goldfield districts.

Returns From Mining

1t may not be generally known, but, as a matter of
TACT, mining returns a greater percentage on the invest
ment than is the case with any other occupation or pur-
suit and, according to earthly prepared figures, the min
ing industry leads them all in point of safety and big
profits. According to the capital invested, as stated by
one authority, the percentage of profits are as follows:
Railroads, 3 per cent; national banks, 8 IA per cent; in
srrance companies, II per cent; numbering, IA per cent
manufacturing, 20 per cent; mining, 1872 per cent.
Another illustration is given in a statement credited
to the National Banker, in which that paper says that the
combined dividends paid by the gold and silver companies
of the United States are greater than the combined divi-
dends paid by all the banking institutions of the United
States and that the combined dividends paid by the cop
per mining companies of the United States are greater than
the combined dividends paid by the railroads of the United
States, while 81 per cent Of the freight handled by these
same railroads is either ore or some commodity resulting
from the mining and milling Of ore" The same author
lty goes on to say that IN 1907, S3OO,OOO,Ooo was lost IN
"giltedge' securities, and about as much more during the
past two years, which is more than was ever lost in min
ing, while more money has been lost through the banks in
the last five years than has been lost in mining in the past
fifteen years.
If there ever was a time when mining should gain in
popularity and Importance, that time is with us now. We
do not mean in stock speculation, but in legitimate and
scientific mining operation; in the development of a pros
pect into a producing and dividend paying mine; in the
regeneration Of old-time producers; in the equipment of
productive and paying properties so that their yield will be
greater, and in giving more attention to prospecting and
the discovery of new mining propositions of merit.
This whole western country is full of promising pros
poets and promising mines, and capital only is necessary to
place them upon a producing and money-making basis.
The industry is a fascinating one, the rewards are large,
and, in times of stress, when other countries depend upon
the United States for necessities, it can always be depend
ed upon.

Dividends From Mines

From reports made to it Mining and Engineering
World is able to show that O2 American mines and works
during the first half of 1915 were able to earn dividends to-
falling S3o.25I,5S0 While this is considerably less than
during the same period in the previous year 1t is, IN consld-
Grafton of the serious depression in the latter part OF 1914
and in earlier months of 1915 decidedly gratifying.
With the great advance in copper from the low price
of January to the high price of June, shareholders have
received substantial increases in dividends, no less than
thirteen companies having recently resumed or increased
dividends. which represent a gain to shareholders at the
late of SI5.OooOoo annually, as compared with the rates
in force in January of the present year.
That the o. companies mentioned above have, as a
whole, been consistent in their dividend disbursements is
evidenced by the fact that since incorporation they have
enriched the shareholders to the extent of SOo4,6S2, 545, on
their combined issued capital of 6O3,SoS,44 4 this is a re-
turn equivalent to approximately I3I per cent.
OF the o. companies mentioned above p are copper
producers with dividend disbursements to their credit dur
ing the half-year period of SI5,6736o7, and since incor-
poration. S443.6I5JS2I, a return of close to ISI per cent.
The Utah Copper company ranks first IN dividends paid
during the half-year period, having made disbursements
totaling $2yS42,S56, with total dividends of S2S,66o67I.
Anaconda ranks second for the half year with $~2,33I,25o,
and has made total disbursements of SO5,I7oOII. Calu-
met & Hecla is third for the year with 100000 to its
rcedit, but ranks first with total payments of SI26,25oooo,
q return on its issued capital stock OF $500 per cent. A
remarkable record, indeed
S~iNty-three companies, operating properties classed as
yold-silver-lead-zn producers, contributed S~I5,33OSS2 to
the half years total. and, since incorporation, S2S7, 345,
OI5, a return OF about $50 per cent on the outstanding
S21I, 35S,24 capital. FOrty-five of these companies oper-I
ate properties in the United States, and they have paid
dividends, SO far in 1915, amounting to SII,55I,I33 and to
date SCI, 5000. Sixteen are Canadian properties with
the years payments totaling $4,000 S, and total dis
bursements of S5Sy6I5,72O. Three Mexican companies
report payments in 1915 tOtal1nS S52S,44I, and total dis
bursements of SI7I4IyO77.

Indians In America

A much lower rate of growth for the Indian popula-
ton than for The white; an increasing admiNture of white
blood; decreasing vitality of full-blood Indians, indicating
a tendency to disappear a%ltogether; increasing attendance
at school and decreasing illiteracy; an increase in the per-
centage OF the self-supporting; a decrease in the number of
reservation Indians. These are some of the salient facts
set forth in the special report on the Indian population of
the United States and Alaska, soon to be issued by Drec-
tor Sam L.. Rogers of the bureau of the census, and COM
piled under the direction of William c. Hunt, chief statis-
tician for population. This report brings together all the
principal statistics relating to the Indian population which
were collected at the last census.
The Indian population of the United States, exclusive
of Alaska and the insular possessions, in 1910 was 265.6S3,
representing an increase of I7,43o, or 7 per cent, over the
number reported in 1890, when the census bureau made its
first enumeration of Indians. Thus at the last census the
only Americans whose native ancestry extends further
back than 4 century or two-or three at the utmost-con-

unreservedly behind the government in its present great
task of helping to lick Germany. And by the same token
William jennings Bryan, so far as the English are con

stituted less than three-tenths of one per cent of the entire
population of the country.
OF the total Indian population, 74S25, or 20 per cent,
were found in one state, Oklahoma; 100, 10Y, or 90 per cent,
i'll five states, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, South Da-
kota and California; and 255-463, or 90 per cent, in twenty
two states, five of North Carolina,
Michigan, New York and Mississippi-lie east of the Mis-
sissippi river. In density of Indian population Oklahoma
again led, with IoS Indians per 100 square miles, while Arr
iona and South Dakota, with 20 and 25 per 100 square
miles, respectively, held second and third places. The
proportion which Indians formed in the total population
was, however, greatest in Arizona, where it was 1913 per
cent.
There are ESQ Indian tribes, comprising 81 linguistic
stocks. The most important tribes numerically are the
Cherokee, with 3I,4S0 members in 1910; the Navajo, with
22455; the Chippewa. with 2o.2I4; the Choctaw. with I5,-
oI7; and the Teton Sioux, with I4,2S4. These five tribes
were the only ones represented by more than 10000 mem
bers each; a. tribes had more than 1000 members each.
