RUSSELL COUNTY
GRAND JURY MAKES
ITS FINAL REPORT
CONTINUED from page one,

were also submitted, one signed by eight
of the members and one by 10, but neither
having the Endorsement of the whole
body. This division regarding report of
the finding was responsible for the de-
lay in submitting the presentments.
One of these minority reports, signed
by eight of the members, recommended
that farming operations by the county
be discontinued, as it has proven I'M
profitable, and also that all revenues de-
rived from the waterworks in Scale be
placed to the credit of the county and
that the superintendent of the water
works account to commissioners court
for all moneys that pass through his
hands
The other minority report, signed by
10 members of the jury, is much more
exhaustive and deals with almost every
phase of official business in the county
and towns. Following the setting forth
the establishment of a new municipal
board of Girard, the report recommends
the abolishing of county farming system
and putting the tax equalization board
upon a per diem basis instead of $500
per annum salary, as at present.
CARELESSNESS CHARGED
This report says that the tax collector
has been careless in the matter of is
suing poll tax receipts, in that he al
lowed other parties to handle the books
and make collections. Probate Judge H.
r. Benton is charged with having cert-
fed to a list of legal voters, as provided
by law, and of these 35 did not pay
poll tax, six lived in other counties and
60 poll taxes were paid by others. The
pension warrants for the Girard COM
munity have been handled by l. |. Moses
instead of the probate judge, and in sew
eral instances it was found that pen
sioners drawing such funds did not live
in the county and three warrants had
been Illegally Endorsed and paid after the
pensioner died Many inaccuracies are re-
ported in the probate judges docket, such
as mot guilty judgment being entered
frequently, where the defendant had not
been in court, and many times no show
ing made for fines assessed.
No recommendation of impeachments
could be made, as these reports were only
concurred in by 10 members of the body.

COPPER AN ANCIENT METAL.
Copper in America First Discovered in
Massachusetts, in 1882.

Massachusetts, in 1882.
Copper and its alloy, bronze, were
known and used by prehistoric men
Copper was known before the time of
Menes, the first Egyptian king, who
reigned at a period possibly as early
as $500 B. C. It Is believed that cop
per was used unalloyed for many cen
turtles before the discovery of the use
of tin as an alloy for producing bronze,
which came into use on account of its
greater hardness. At the beginning of
the 18th century, Great Britain was
making three quarters of the worlds
copper-possibly 5000 tons. One hun
dred years ago the mines of the United
States, Spain, Chile, Mexico, Canada,
South Africa, Australia and Tasmania
which now produce 80 per cent of the
worlds copper, We're undeveloped In
the United States copper was discov-
cred In Massachusetts as early as 1882
and in 1909 company was incorpor-
ated In Connecticut for the purpose of
working copper ores. The copper de-
posits of New Jersey were exploited
in 1719. The copper mines Of Yer
mont date from the eighteenth CEN
fury. These were the principal sources
of American copper until the opening
of the Lake Superior mines In 1874.
Really important copper mining in the
United States dates from 1874, with the
opening of a vein near Copper Harbor,
in Keweenaw county, Michigan. In
1882 Montana produced it's first cop

was started a decade later.

Calumet township has shown such
an increase in births recently that for
the year 1915 it registered approxim-

Tungsten Market in 1915
Engineering and Mining Journal)

Until the outbreak Of the war the
Primes Chemical company was prac-
tically the only concern that produced
tungsten and tungsten alloys in guam
titles In this country. The placing of
war-order business here changed en-
tirely the American position and the
Crucible Steel company, the Vanadi-
UNI Alloys Steel company. the York
Metal and Alloys company, the Vile
Electric Furnace company and the
Goldschmidt Thermit company all
started active competition for the pur-
chase of tungsten ore so necessary for
the shell making industry.
The market for tungsten ore during
the first quarter of 1915 was very poor,
and 1t fetched only $500 per unit. Very
little foreign ore reached this coun-
try. and the demand was not up to
the normal During April and May the
allies placed in this country enormous
orders for war requirements, and the
demand for tungsten became great.
lOISnSGttb ll6 call that WOulu De
made for the ore, contracts were clos
ed by many dealers at between 81 and
SO, but unfortunately the persons with
whom the contracts were closed did
not make good In all cases, and many
contract that was closed at those
figures is still awaiting completion.
The fulfillment of the contracts closed |
at those low figures is said to be rather
the exception than the rule. During
May the price reached $40 per unit. 1t /
continued rising by leaps and bounds !
until 1t became simply question as to :
who had the tungsten ore. Whoever
had 1t could demand his own price,
which was paid by the buyers without
any counter offer for fear lest they
might lose the parcel However, the
British government lost parcels by
trying to dicker for them In what was
not dickering market.

Ore From Japan.

American consumers of tungsten ore
obtained considerable supplies from
Mexico and South America. Portugal
and Spain are also producers but the
mines there are controlled to a large
extent by British capital. Those mines
that were not subjected to British die
tation encountered considerable diff
culties in getting tungsten shipped to
the United States. Only during the
last few weeks have arrangements
been completed by which tungsten ore
contracted in Portugal and Spain may
now be shipped; the first shipment of
fair quantity was to leave for New
York during December. Japan ship
ped tungsten ore to this country when
the price had reached $44 per unit, at
which figure large quantities were
booked during December. Later sales
of ore in quantity were made in this
market at $50 per unit. These were
contract prices
