New County Agents for the Ford


Our good friends, Chas. Ross
and Jim WEIGH, were in Dresden
on last Monday and informed us
that they have procured the ex.
elusive agency il Weakley county
for the Ford automobile, and ex.
pect to sell 500 cars in this county
for the 1916 season. They will
have general headquarters at Mar
tin, with . branch at Dukedom,
keeping a full line Of cars and all
supplies and repairs at both places,
particularly at Martin.
Both these gentlemen are down
right good hustlers and they will
make things hum in the automo-
bile line in this county this year.
They tell us the price of the Ford
is $40 this year, with the freight
added. making the car cost about
$3.50 delivered to the customer.
They state, also, that the price
will positively not be cut on any
car; that their contract with the
Ford people prohibits the cutting
Of price and that the cars will be
sold at the regular advertised
price, Read the Ford announce
ment in this issue Of the Enter
prise and watch next weeks pa.

Thursday, July 20, will go
down in history as an eventiul
day for Weakley county, for on
this date was laid the foundation
for the first county highway,
constructed by and through the
patriotism and generosity Of the
citizens from all sections OF the
county.
1t is conservatiyely estimated
that no less than 700 men IRON
the farms, from the stores, facto-
ries, shops and from every place
OF activity-did service on the
highway last Thursday. Every
business house in Dresden was
closed, and at three o'clock in the
afternoon, wheniEDr. s..Terrells
veterinary hospital, near the
square. was burned, endsngering
the Baptist church and the resi-
dence Of DR.. Fields, there were
so few people in town that hardly
any alarm was givsn-so little,
in fact, that many Of the ladies in
town knew nothing at all Of the
fire until long after the hospital
was a smoldering pile Of ashes.
All the men we're out on the
road and there was none left in
town to make a noise over the
fire.
The citizens Of Dresden, white
and black, all spent the day on
the highway; and we must say
Dresden's colored population did
her part nobly toward building this
great thoroughfare, which is to be
a monument to the energy and
liberality of all the citizens of the
county. Dinner was served for all |
crews and there was enough left
over to have fed another such
crowd. There was no disorder,
no swearing, not a smell Of in
notwithstanding to offend even
the most fastidious--unless it was
the great amount OF work done.
The crews under the superin-
tendency Of those two good road
road enthusiasts, Mat House and
Esq. Harry Butsfnumbered 125
white and thirty.seven colored
men and boys and twenty-eight
,eams, including DR.. Bobbitt and
Lake Erie Holiday, both OF
whom, it is said, did more work
han any other men on the road.

Also nine autos, which conveyed
hands back and forth, supplied
water, ran errands and were
otherwise useful as well as orna-

most nobly toward the project,
IS did also Latham and Palmers-
vile, two autos full Of hands
coming from each place. In fact,

Grandma's Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally
 That Nobody Can Tell

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound :. ed, brings back the natural color and luste:- to the hair when faded. streaked or gray; also ends dandruff, Itching scalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home. which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays. by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents.
 Don't stay gray. Try it,! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through Your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after an- ether application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

lparticularly favorable condition and showing.
 The size of the output will be reg ulated by the condition of the cop per metal marked as the directors do not believe in disposing of copper at prices that do not return a large profit. The management has been ordered to resume production now that metal prices are satisfa ctory and the strength of the situation in dicates that the property will be made to produce at least 500 tons per day and that the output will be at the rate of 15,0OO,OOO lbs. per an mum.
 That figure will not be reached in the calendar year 1915, probably, as only development work was carried on up to March, but the rate of prod uction and the earnings should be at that rate for the balance of the year or say from the first of May Fig uring on a seven-cent cost and a price of 16 cents for copper would give the company earnings at the rate of just about s4 per share.
 It is understood that the directors consider the company to be on thc basis of a quarterly dividend of 90 cents per share and that rate should be increased if the present outlook for copper this summer is realized. The company is well supplied with cash, having had $74O,0OO of actual cash on hand at the first of the year and quick assets of another $500, ,000 with practically no cash liabilities. Shattuck Arizona is in a strong posi- ton from, the standpoint of cash as sets, ore reserves. low costs and continued development of additional high grade ore deposits.

The radium eXperimented with was private property. !
 The bureau has made about three grams of it and recently showed it in the house of representatives, where the members were almost afraid to look at it.
 A gram Of radium is not larger in quantity than the sharp point of a lead pencil cut fine and the $40.000 spent was in reducing a ton of radium ore to this exceedingly small dimension. It used to cost $12O.COO to do it. It is hoped that some day the cost may be still further reduced. The drop in cost from S120,0G0 to $41,00O is an achieve ment on it's own account and it is a government bit of work, too, speaking we'll indeed, for the government which generally is not given to cheapening anything. Ii shows the value to the people of the governments scientists, who are working for about $25,000 q year

Copper Share Earnings

The strength in the stock market shows that investors and speculators; alike are alive to the changed outlook for the industries of the United States. but II is doubtful if the average holder of copper shares fully realizes the in creased earning power that results from the higher prices for the metal It is evident that the cost of producing copper does not vary materially and, furthermore. it is fact that the higher the price received for the product the lower the cost of production, as a rule. Some allowance must be made for re- ductions in wages on low metal mar ket with the mines producing only at part capacity but there are many costs that remain the same no matter wha t the output and for that reason costs are usually lower in high metal mar kets than in poor markets, because the cost per pound decrease~ with an in crease in output and full employment of facilities
 It is safe to assume, therefore that with the mines working at full capa city costs will be at their lowest but many homogeneous take advantage of large profits to make improvements and it S better to figure merely on the increased profits resulting from the advance in prices. If We assume that the avera se cost of copper to the producers of the United States is 10 cents per pound We find profit of l cent per pound with the metal at II cents, where it was last summer, with copper at F cents the profit is doubled and with copper at

Prod notion will commence in June and 1000 tons a day should be treated by August and the mill will be con- pleted to full capacity by the end of
 this year; 172,72 tons of ore average l.52 per cent copper produced from development work was treated in the test mill during the year. Of this t2S per cent was outside the limits of the ore body and therefore the aver age grade treated was considerably less than the average grade of the ore body.
 A recovery of S6.7 per cent of cop per of the ore in sulphide form rep
 resents the average result of the seven months work in the test plant.
 The ore developed in the property now owned including Keystone re- gently purcha &Sh amounts to 97.143,- per cent of which 7455O.OO tons are 4.732 GOO tons mixed carbonate and sulphide.
 The mining system to be put in use will consist of undercutting and thus caving the ore in blocks of probably 70 it. vertical dimensions. the broken and caved ore to be drawn off through a system of inclined raises, delivering to the haulage ways be- low These raises will have a sui ficient number of branches immedi- tely below the Caved area to reduce the interval to a minimum. probabl; 8 ft. between the heads of the raises that tap the caved ore.

An iron content of over or 3 parts per million in water used in the manu- fracture of paper will stain the paper. Iron is harmful in water used for steaming, for it is in equilibrium with acids which inside the boiler become dissociated, with the result that the free acids corrode the boiler plates; but the amount of iron carried in solu ton by most waters is so small that the damage it does to steam boilers generally amounts to little.
 Waters having a high iron content have in some places, where they have been used as city supplies, caused an immense amount of trouble and ex- pense, for they favor the growth of Crenathrix to such a degree that the water pipes become clogged with the iron sheaths of that organism. The removal of iron from water is some times easy and sometimes very diff cult.

Miami Copper

Reports surplus of $53,414 for year ended December 41, 1914. Net pro- duction of refined copper was 33,296. 010 pounds and cost of producing and marketing metal for the year was 9.2045 cents per pound.
 During the year 1914 net production of refined copper was 43296,010 pounds derived from the treatment of ,096,633 tons of ore. For the last five months of the year the property was operated on a reduced scale of production due to the unsettled con- ditions of the copper market occa- stoned by the European war It is particularly gratifying that despite this deduction in tonnage the cost per pound of copper was lower than for either of the two preceding years The ore reserves follow: High grade sulphide ore 19,500,0O0 tons at 2.40 per cent copper; low grade sulphide ore 75,000,000 tons at 1.21 per cent copper; total 36,500,000 tons at 1.85 Der cent copper. Not included in the above is 6,00O,OOO tons partially developed mixed sulphide and oxide ore carrying about per cent copper. During the first six months of the year tonnage milled averaged over $500 tons per day with a correspon- ding increase in copper production
 but on account of the severe curtail-
 ment of the scale of operations in-
 augurated with the month of August
 the result for the year is about the
 same as that obtained during 1913.
 During the year the bonded indebt-
 edness of the company was reduced
 from S26,OOO to $19.00O by the con
 version of bonds
 The cost of producing and mar
 keting copper for the year was 9.2O4c
 per pound.
 The production of copper at Miami
 for March was 2,937,405 pounds at a cost of S.45 cents a pound

SHATTUCk ARIZONA In Strong Position from Star dpoinr of Cash Assets. Ore Reserves, Low Costs and Continued
 Development

The Shattuck Arizona annual re- port for 1914 gave the net cost per pound of refined copper at S47Z cents but as the property was op- crated at full capacity for only eleven months and was closed down en tlrely, so far as production was con- cerned, for two months, the cost rec ord is not a fair criterion of what can be accomplished in a full year of operation. The cost for 1913 was given as 7.22 cents on a production of 13.OOOOO0 lbs. and probably that figure will be bettered with the inn proved conditions at the mine and a larger production.
 It is interesting to note that the costs for both years include nearly three miles of underground develop ment work and that the total devei- opment work up to date totals nea-- ly fifteen miles. showing how thor oughly the property is being opened, and, according to the official re- ports, the development work has been highly successful both in the quantity and grade of the ore devel- oped
 The company made a contract with the new Calumet and Arizona smelter two or three years ago under which its ores are treated at a lower cost than would be possible by operating a plant of it's own, the belief being that the Calumet and Arizona man agement desired to prevent the cree fion of another plant in the district which might have become a competi tor for custom smelting. It is eV.- dent that the Shattuck- Arizona from the standpoint of both ore reserves and economical treatment is in. q

 those made on the basis of metal prices
 last summer.
 Furthermore. there are many mines having a cost in excess of 10 cents and even II or F cents which can now op- crate at a substantial profit and the 1 owners of these properties see an in 1 come replace a loss from operation.
