No Fear Manifested That Blockade

them this week. Very little If any
American spelter finds its way into
Germany and Austria now, and the

the blockade Is made effective. But
on the other hand if Germany with
her submarines should be able to close
the ports of Great Britain and France
to the ships of neutral nations, the eff

the price of spelter for the demand in
those countries, particularly in Eng
land, is the mainstay of the spelter
market today. But it is not believed
that Germany can accomplish any
more in that line than she has already
done, and therefore there is no appre-
hension as to the price of spelter while
the war lasts
The stronger price for lead that has
prevailed the last few weeks is also at
tributed wholly to exports to Europe.
Commenting on the lead market the
last issue of the Engineering and Min
ing Journal says: 1.-THE conclusion IL

and is best defined as the price at
which the product sells or would sell
when delivered at the mouth of the
mine in a marketable condition. Five

will constitute the maximum amount

MINING COMPANY INCOME TAX.
An Important Ruling Made by the
Commissioner of Corporations.

The income tax law as applied tc
mining companies has recently been
construed by Commissioner Osburn in
the following ruling:
Gross value at the NINE" as con-
templated in that provision of the fed
eral income tax law which authorizes
mining companies to deduct from the
gross income an amount to take care
of depletion of natural deposits, is
held to mean the gross price at which
the product could be sold at the mine:
that is, its actual bona fde market
value.
The term gross as applied to the

with disfavor by leading mining men
of the Cripple Creek district and by
many it was regarded as being a

Since the discovery of the exceed

great wealth has already been taken
from that property. Quite recently
the Cresson company made ship
ment of 1000 sacks of ore valued at
$4,O00,00 the ore coming from the
1200-foot level, and, at the time, II
was claimed that another $4,0000OC

amount of gold that the vug will pro

until the thickness of the walls ha

THE discovery Of this vug is a proc
of the contention of the Cripple Creel
miners that the richness of the ore
continues to an unknown depth
Further proof of this is established
by the discovery of very rich ore OF
the 18th, 18th and 10th levels of thre
mines in the Cripple Creek district
The greatest depth attained in Crippl
Creek is 1900 feet, and the richness o
the ore continues.

"Ten-cent sodas" universally in Ohio

health's latest ruling that all glasses
spoons and dishes used at a soda
fountain must be sterilized in boil
ing water, with live steam, according
to complaints which began to pour in

Several confectioners and soda
fountain proprietors declared they
could not continue to sell "sodas y

stall elaborate sterilizing equipment.

the significance of these protests.
They expressed the opinion that boil

cost.
