evidences to make a profitable copper

is pushing development of its fine
property day and night and attaining
splendid results. The work is being
prosecuted by sinking and drifting on
ore, which is being placed on the dump
for shipment, and is of grade samp-
ling from $50 to $40 per ton.
The future of this property is that
of a substantial and profitable pro-

USES OF TUNGSTEN
MAKE 1T VALUABLE

The word "tungsten is Swedish
and means heavy stone, very apt
title for a metal whose identity re
mained a mystery until the latter part
of the eighteenth century, says the
Mining American.
Tungsten is word of almost magic
sound; il means as much TO the miner
of today as did gold to the Forty
miners. few years ago it was ex-
tracted by the gold miners of Boulder
county Colorado, and was avoided
whenever possible because it lowered
the value of their concentrates.
In this respect its history resembles
that of two ther metals-in the great
Comstock lode of Nevada, where the
early miners threw away the black
sulphide of silver worth several thou
sand dollars ton, and at Leadville
while the camp was getting its start
and the lead carbonate caused the
placer miners great deal of trouble
by filling up the rifles in the sluiec
boxes and interfering with the saving
of gold. Silver made millions for the
Comstock miners, lead carbonates with
their contents did the same for Lead
vile, and tungsten bids fair to do like
wise for its producers
The principal minerals of tungsten
are scheelite, woframite and ferberite
The metal is practically insoluble il
all the common acids. Its melting
point is 3ll7 degrees centigrade II il
pot affected by the atmosphere. ~
tensile strength exceeds that of iror
or nickel and it is so duetile that i
can be drawn to smaller size wirei
than anv known metal, at the sam,
time retaining its remarkable strength
and pliability.
It's largest uses at present ore il
tool steel, lining high-powered guns an,
cannon, hardening armor plate and tn,
points of armorpiercing shells. 1t il
said that one metal-cutting maehin,
equipped with tungsten steel can 4,

As steel alloy tungsten is addei
in varying quantities: for saw blades
! to 2 per cent; for high speed tools
used in working metals from l6 to -
per cent. Tungsten steel drills, b'
holding their temper when red hot, eal
be run at many times greater yaec'
than carbon steel drills, and, Therefore
their use results in a large saving .

BARNES CIRCUS SHOWS
TO GOOD CROWD YESTERDAY

al. g. Barnes wild animal show Wis
tied Winnemucca yesterday and al
though a fierce sand storm was blow
ing until sundown, it was attended by
about the usual Winnemucca circus
crowd.
This show is one of the few on the
road who do not exaggerate in their
advertising. Everything they agreed
to show thy did, and everything went
of in frst-class shape. 1t is strictly
wild animal show, and the feats per-
formed by the different animals were
truly amazing, the dumb brutes exhib-
iting an almost human intelligence.
If there can be any criticism of the
modern circus, and this one in particu-
lar, it is that it is too big, with too
many rings. While the ordinary spec
tator is enjoying an act in one ring,
his attention is diverted to something
in another ring, and as he has but one
pair of eyes, the result is confusing.
But in order to keep up with the
times, eircuses as well as other lines
OF endeavor must be progressive or
they would soon find themselves in
popular disfavor.

SAYS NEWSPAPER MEN ARE
"CHUMPS' IN BUSINESS

Last night the Watsonville Pajaro
nian made the announcement that
p" owing to the continued increase in
the cost Of paper and other essentials
necessary to the publication of a
daily paper, the subscription price OF
the Evening Pajaronian on and after
May 1st would be increased 1913 per
cent. - The Paiaronian tells its read
ers that the reason for the advance in
subscription price of the two Watson
vile papers is that supplies in the
printing business are becoming dearer
every day. We quote.
"When the Pajaronian moved into
its present uqarters on the 18th of last
April we bought a carload of paper at
$500 per hundred pounds. Six weeks
ago we bought 10000 pounds of news
paper at 1925 per hundred pounds, a
bill of about 1925. Last Wednesday we
duplicated the order at $4.27, an in
crease of 800 in about six weeks, and
then had TO give eight weeks time 10
get the order filed, so great is the de-
mand. We were advised to place the
order at once or take chances of prob
ably having 10 pay from $500 to 5000
for the same order in two months. And
it is the same thing in all lines of
stock. A case of envelopes that was
bought three weeks ago for $50 has
gone up SIS ease, and the supply is
rapidly diminishing
The Pajaronian might have added
that the type metal which it must use
daily has doubled in price since the
war; that roller composition has about
doubled: that ink has doubled; that
practically everything in the newspa
per business has doubled in price.
The Paiaronian might have added
too, that the newspapers represent the
only line of business affected by the
increased prices of supplies that has
not raised in prices to the public tC
cover the increased cost, or that has
not at least raised prices so that the
inereasd cost should be shared by the
public
The reason for this is that as bust
ness men the newspaper men are down
right ehumps They delight in giving
away their stock in trade. The mor'
their stock in trade costs them th'
more they delight in giving it away
The newspaper men themselves are re
sponsible for the light esteem in whiel
their products are held by the purehas
| ing public. There is not newspape
| in the interior of this state but tha
maintains some delivery routes tha
cost them mere to keep up than !
gained from them in revenue. Score
of subscribers are served in this town
and in every town, at an absolute los
to the publishers. There are scores o
Newspaper publishers who take adve-
scment sa a price less than the coz
of putting them into type. They thinl
they are making a masterstroke whe
they do so, in that they are at leas
keeping a rival from getting the busi
ness But they are lowering the stand
