TUNGSTEN ORE
 IS VALUED AT
 S2,85O PER TON
hpRECEDENTEO ACTIVITY IN TUNGSTEN MINING IS
 REPORTED.

Late reports from Boulder place tungsten quotations al $l75O per unit (twenty pOunds) for the so per cent ore concentrate. the list price for the per cent material This means $2,S5O per ton fer the ac- tual tungsten which is quoted even higher in New York The high figures. and he efforts to increase the supply, are developing tungsten in various parts of Colorado nota biy ill Boulder Gllpiu, Clear Greek and San Juan ountles
 For the county at large the foI- lowing repoIt-Just issued tom Washington will proc instructive.
 The production of tungsten ores in the United States during l9I5 broke the record and was appar cntly equivalent to about 2165 short tons of concentrates. carrying 6g per cent of tungsten trioXide. and was valued at more than $2GOO.OOO
 These figures are based cn prn- liminary returns to the |ntr States geological survey The lare. est previous output of tungsten ore was in 1910 when 1S2I tons weIe produced.
 Conditions and prices in the tuna steE market were unsettled an3 somewhat anomalous. NthoIgh th, price in the latter part of 1914 Wa $9 or more unit, 60 per cent or was sold in the early part of 1915 as low as $5.S0 a unit. 50 that tungsten mining did not start sery briskly.
 Early in the summer, however. floods of orders for munitions of war caused a great demand for highspeed steels. to be used ill cut ting shells, rifle barrels. etc An embargo was declared by the British government on the export of tung sten ores from any part of the British possessions and there was soon countrywide scramble for tungsten ores,
 Probably no one foresaw the height to which the price of tung sten would rise and some operators contracted fer ores al prices which in ordinary years would be high but which were soon eycee led by several hundred per cent. Tungsten metal was also contracted for at prices much below those afterwards reached, In the fail the prices of tungsten reached unheard-of heights -S4S per unit was paid for numer ous lots, $50 for some, and even higher prices We're reported.
 "The prices moved upward so rapidly and unexpectedly that stren- uous tungsten prospecting did not follow at once, but early in the fall a large number of men were in the field looking for deposits

Cinema Stamp Mill
 Is Working Again

Owing to the fact that the closing of traffic on the Tanana Valley rail road made it impossible to ship ore in from the creeks, the Cinema stamp mill was closed down for two days last week. Now however, 1t i: again in operation, a carload of ore from the Johnson X Ewers mine having been brought in on Friday and put into the ore bE,a at the mill on Saturday
 This is the fourth car of tungsten ore to be handled And it is under stood that more of the ore is await ing shipment, and it is therefore probable that the mill will be kept busy for d considerable length of time.

 So said our beloved United States Marshal l.. T Erwin while the bal lots were being counted by the judges in the city hall last evening.
 After the "Jedge" heard the yer. dict in the Callahan case he came over to the city hall, and. peiching himself upon the desk of Henry T. Ray, he sang in a clear. southern accented voice some darky melody of his boyhood days which sounded something like the wall of poor nigger who was being beaten by his master. The judges objected to this kind of disturbance but the "Jedge" stuck to the old darky song until he became tired. Gle was feel ing pretty shaky about this time). Then the "Jedge" straightened him self up to his full height. pulled the bottom of his vest down and wiped the precipitation (booze> off of his brow and told us how sorry" he felt for the poor unfortunates incarcerated lover there" (pointing toward HIS jail).

Immigration BILL MAY
PASS IN SPITE OF VETO
All Depends on Whether or Not
President ExertS Himself
to Sustain His Action
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.-THE ulti-
mate fate of the immigration bill, which
has passed both the senate and the house
and which is now in conference, de-
Ponds largely upon whether President
Wilson exerts himself to sustain the
veto which awaits the measure when ii
reaches the White House. IT is regarded
as assured that the president will dis
approve the legislation, but whether he
will bring any influence or pressure TO
bear upon members of congress to sus-
tain the veto cannot be said.
If the president is content simply to
veto the bill, because Of his objection
10 the literacy test, and TO concern him.
self no further with the matter II
seems certain nat the veto will be over
ridden.
The overwhelming vote by which the
measure was passed through the two
houses of congress Justifies this belief.
When the bill was placed on its passage
in the lower house, the vote was sos TO
81 I'm favor of it's enactment; in the upper
house, the vote in favor Of the bill was
even more decisive-64 to z.
A two-thirds vote in both houses is
required to override a presidential veto.
1t is obvious, from the original ballots
I'm the two houses that as they stand at
present. more than two-thirds of each IA
yors the Legislation, so IL would seem
that the expected veto will be overrid-
den.
The president is all-powerful, however,
and IL he insists upon IL, as he has upon
some other propositions, IL may be that
the veto will be sustained.
