INVESTMENTS IN MINES
BRING BIG RETURNS
COLORADO PAPER USES coEuR
D'ALENE DIVIDENDS AS
EXAMPLE.

There are plenty Of examples that
might be sighted in order to show that
mining offers remarkable chances for
the extremely profitable employment of
capital. Unembelllshed statistics re-
cording the amount of wealth produc-
ed by the mining camps carry sig
nificance that makes them more in
teresting than any stirring romance
from the pen of a master genius. There
Is fascination in the pursuit of riches
that relegates most other activities
in life to a secondary position, says
the Mining Record,
Among the various Illustrations
worthy of use as tending to prove that
mining investments are hard to Equal
as profit producers. certain mines in
the Occur d'Alenes of Idaho present
some figures that merit more than
passing notice. Thus during the De-
cember just passed there were eight
mines in that district which paid
total in dividends for the one month
amounting to $1,421,5s5, or at the rate
of about $4,000 every day for thirty
one days.
The same mines distributed divi-
dends to stockholders in 1915 amount
ing to $9,014,348. AS the dividends re-
present only about one-third of the
gross value of the ore extracted, the
other two thirds going for wages,
treatment, freights and other expenses,
1t will be seen that the total produc-
ton was not less than $27,OO0,000 for
the year
The 1915 dividends of the eight pro-
ducers in question exceeded the dis
bursements of 1914 by nearly $S.000,-
900, and still further gain Is in order
New processes for saving values Is
being adopted, chief among them be-
ing the fiotation system. now valu-
able unit to all concentrators. These
better methods cannot fail to material
ly increase the dividend distributions
in 1916.
Reports from other districts make
fine showings and could be cited with
equal propriety to prove that mining Is
leader among the profit making In
dustries of the world.

Bureau Experiments.
The application of the process in
terests not only those engaged in min
ing and marketing these precious and
semi precious metals. but also the
United States bureau OF mines, which,
through the experiments now being
made by one of its engineers, oliver c.
Ralston, at Baker City, is trying to
perfect oil flotation to the point where
it will be at once so effective and so
economical that 1t may be applied to
low grade ores and to the mountains
Of dumps and tailings throughout the
country.
Van H. Manning the recently APP
pointed director of the bureau OF
mines, defined the position of this bu-
reau.
ut is" said he, without funds to
carry out upon the extensive basis of
commercial demonstration any OF
the experiments which 1t makes In
the laboratory. Nevertheless it is con-
stantly investigating ways, and means
of efficiency, doing any and every
thing appertaining to mines and the
marketing of their products; but sole
ly for the benefit of the public
"Thus, If Mr.. Ralston discovers a
better method of applying oil fiotation
1t will be patented; but any one will
be allowed to use the patent free of
charge. No one will be allowed to have
an exclusive advantage. Our financial
inability to try things out on COM
mercial basis makes it necessary that
we should allow some concern to do
this; but 1t must be done for the bene-
fit of all and not to enable any one to
obtain a monopoly which may be used
to the disadvantage of his rivals in
business.
LAS an example of what this bureau
has accomplished by its research and
scientific work, l will cite what was
done by the laboratory investigation
of producing radium. 1t was selling
at the rate of $780, gram end now,

bureau, 1t has been made for $4,000 q

FARMER wANDERs FROM HOME

Taylor Lane, a prominent and
widely known farmer of Bath coun-
ty, wandered from his home on the
SSpratt farm near Gudgeii Hill last
Friday, March 10. During the night
ne arrived at the home Of a man
named johnson in the Aarons Run
section of this county, where he ask
ed to stay all night. Mr.. johnson
refused his request. Early Satur-
day morning, Mr.. Johnson went to
the kitchen Of his home to kindle
a fire and found the man lying by
the stove asleep. He awakened him,
and AYERS that Mr.. Lane started, as
he thought to draw a weapon, and
he struck him with a poker, and
turned him away from the house.
Later in the day Mr.. Lane was
found by = M, Hutsell, S. S. Rails
and ot',ers and brought to this
city, where his wounds were dress
ed by physicians. He was taken
to his home in Bath county by Elgin

is about IS years old and has not

desired to own in the famous

isolation from their old friends

AMAZING AGRICULTURAL
ADVANCE IN THE SOUTH

In 1915 the gain in the value Of
all farm crops in the United States
over 1914 was $526,O7O,OoO.
OF this gain $317,2o9,0OO, or a
little over go per cent, was in the
South, an amazing illustration Of
the increase in the diversifcation
of Southern agriculture.
The gain in the entire country,
outside Of the South, was $685.
se1, 900, or sos, 100000 less than
the gain in the South.
The percentage of increase for
the South in 1915 over 1914 was
1885 per cent.
The percentage Of increase for
the rest Of the country in 1915 over
1914 was only SOS per cent.
Notwithstanding the great in
crease in the value Of the cotton
crop last year, by virtue Of war
conditions, compared with the big
crops anu nigh prices Tor some
years prior to the war, the rate
of increase of the South's farm
crops over the five-year average
from 1909 to 1913 was 6.23 per cent.
Though the cotton crop last year
was small and prices were lower
than for some years prior to the
war, the value of last years farm
crops in the South was $4,000, 600
greater than the average value for
the five-year period from 1909 to
1913, both inclusive.
Notwithstanding the much lower
value of last years cotton crop
compared with 1909 to 1913, while
on the other hand the West had
large grain crops with high prices
due to the phenomenal European
demand for foodstuffs, the value of
the South's farm crops for 1915
was $2,6O7, $4,000 as compared
with $4, ISL ,556,OO0 for the rest Of
the country. The United States
Department of Agriculture esti-l
mates the, value of last years
cotton crop, not including seed, at
$3.50, 900, 900, which we think is
probably an ultra conservative fig
ure. Counting the value OF the
seed, we believe the crop may be
safely estimated at $750,000,000,
though no exact figure can be given
until the end of the crop season.
however, an estimate of
$3.50 10000 as the value of the
cotton crop, including seed, this
would leave as the value of other
crops 1885,, 100000, or, in other
words, the value of diversified crops
was considerably more than two
and one-half times as great as the
value of the cotton crop and nearly
twice as great as the most valuable
cotton crop ever produced by the
South.
1t must be borne in mind that
these figures relate to farm crops
and not to all agricultural prod
ucts, for they do not include the
value of animal products.
The Department of Agriculture
estimates the total value of animal
for the United States in
1915 at $3.50, 100000, but does
lot attempt to make an estimate
rs to the value by states.
AS the South has almost exactly
me- third of the total number of |
livestock in the United States, it is
to estimate the value of
he animal products of this section
IS approximately one-third of the
otal value for the whole country.
This may possibly be fraction too
Ugh, but it cannot be very far out
# the way. Nevertheless, to be on
he safe side, we win estimate the
alue of the South's animal prod
lets as 80 per cent. instead of
8 Ia per cent. Of the total for the

Government employees in Washington,
according to statistics covering 5000 per-

each less a year than for enlisted men.
The report said the service was at a loss
to understand this, inasmuch as large

and are accepted only after rigid physical
examinations.
