WIDE WAGON TIRES
BILL MAY BE PRESENTED 1T
NEXT sEss,oN-DEFEcT IN
BANK GUARANTY LAW.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and from
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

fleTTG.-
1t is reported hat one OF the bills
which will be presented to the next
legislative session, in the good roads
plan, is compulsory wide tires for
wagons. New York and Illinois have
taken up this idea, and have passed
acts to that effect, giving as specified
time for wagon to conform to
the new regulations.
Another proposition which banks
will be locking after is the standing
of drafts on a failed bank which is be.
ing paid out by the guarantee fund.
This has been raised as one of the de-
fects found in the law in its actual
workings in the settlement Of the af-
fairs of the bank which recently failed
at OacCma. The issue in brief appears
to be that in settlements between To-
cal banks outside Of Oacoma, a draft
had passed from one bank to another
to balance accounts between them, and
In such accounts checks on the failed
bank were included. Before the draft
could be presented for payment the
bank failed, and this draft the bank
department holds is not covered in the
guaranty act as it stands, but is only
a clair, against the assets of the failed
bank. An effort will be made to cure
this at the coming session.

What Kind of Prchibitory Act.

One of the propositions which will
receive a lot of discussion at the com.
ing legislative session will be the kind
of a prohibitory law which will be
passed. The act as it will finally be
adopted will no doubt be something
Of a compromise between the most
Tor liberal ones which will prevail
radical p%rohihitory ideas, and the
among many of the members. One
of the "stickers" will be the right OF
dealers to handle household RENE
dies and essences which contain a
small percentage of alcohol. The
country merchant who has for years
carried a part OF his stock il trade
standard liniments, and like rene
dies along with extracts and essences
will be against an act so strongly
drawn that this trade will be barred to
them. Just how far the radical anti
liquor people will want to go will be
the main issue.

KE"HEc0TT COPPER PROFITS
 MILLION DOLLARS 4 MONTH

The earnings of the Kennecott Copper Corporation have averaged $1,OOO,0OO a month. In November we produced 1O,5OO,OOO pounds of copper and the costs were probably under five cents a pound"
 In response to the question of a stcckhclder, MT. Birch explained why a vein mine, like the Kenne- colt, cannot develop it's ore ahead as far as a porphyry.
 Mining operations and develop meut work" he said, "are carried on through the same shafts, so that development work is limited by the facilities of the mine, and it's rate cR production. For instance, Anaconda is understood never to have had more than two years ore developed in advance, and yet the mine has been operating for thirty years. - Boston News Bureau.

At the last meeting of the Kenne- colt Copper stockholders held in Boston recently for the purpose of approving the increase in the shares of he company from 72O,oOO to 3,OOO,DOo President stephen Birch said:
 "Whue our production and costs are encouraging and satisfactory at the same time We feel that it is advantageous for the company to .ake over the properties whose known life is much longer than is indicated by the ore so far de- yeloped at the Kennecott and Beat son properties.
 "Iu the case of the Utah Copper, We know that the mine has a life Of over thirty years, and the life of the Bradcu is placed at the same figure. The costs at the Utah are around seven cents, and the Braden engineers estimate the cost at that mine at about seven cents.
 "The Copper River & .N9rChwest- cru railway is necessity to the Kennecott Copper company. We depend upon it. for our transporta- ton and if the railroad passed in to uHfriendIy hands, freight rates could be Encreased. to exceed $2,- OO0,00y a year.
 Transportation in the case of the Kcnuecott company amounts to .2H cents, out of a total cost since June 1, averaging 4.58 cents, 50 that it will be Seen that trans portatiou represents nearly half the cost of producing copper at the mine.
 ''The earnings of the Alaska steamship company and the rail road company are nov running at the rate of about S1OOO,OOO a year. In addition to insuriug fay orabIe freight facilities the mine will therefore have a paying pro- siticu.
