OFFICE EFFICIENCY.
It Cost s24 to Reetify an Error of s1.os
in a Wall Street Office.

Efficiency has various opponents;
some are highly efficient and others
only near efficient. In one of the New
York banking houses on December
there was question among the book
keepers, according to the Wall Street
Journal, as to which of two statesmen
was entitled to a commission of $1.08.
1t was put up to the cashier, and ne
said: Give 1t to both OF them and
charge the extra expense to profit and
loss" One of the members of the firm
came around and wanted to know the
difficulty. This was explained, and he
said the mistake must be found and
that only the man entitled to the $1.0S
should receive It, At five minutes past
eleven New Years eve the wandering
$1.0S was located, after going through
all the vouchers for the year, and the
firm had spent $24 in supper money.
Then the member of the firm went
home with the shouts of the bookkeep.

After The War---A More Cheering
Outlook From Financial Standpoint
(Mlning and Scientific Press,

lation In mines abroad will not COM
mand European support as 1t did be-
fore August, 1914. We believe that
this will furnish the American fav-
orable chance to exploit mineral de-
posts IN Russia, Mexico, South At
RIGA and South America. The mining
capitalist and operator In this coun-
try will find 1t advantageous to follow
the lead of the American engineer and
learn to regari mining with cosmo-
politan comprehension, recognizing the
fact that this particular industry Is
the least provincial of all those to
which the art of man is applied. AL
ready a start has been made in Rus
STA, Peru, and Chile, for example, not
to mention Mexico, where American
mining interests have always been
large
Thus we expect to see notable ex-
pansion of enterprise in foreign re-
gions We anticipate also a great in
crease of energy and productivity at
home because the demand for the
metals to meet domestic consumption
and to supply foreign requirements
will be increased beyond previous ex-
perience. For while after pease is
restored there will be an extraordin-
airy market for American tools and
as we'll as steep shapes
and base metals of every kind Later
there will be less demand for finished
products, but continuing call for the
metals themselves. The United States
Is still continental area of partly de-
1eloped and quite unexhausted min
eral wealth; being in a state of highly
industrial vitality, this
can and will furnish a stead
ly increasing proportion of those
Metals on which the material civiliza-
ion of the world depends for it's main
enance and progress. 4

COAL IN SP|TzBERGEN
MINED BY AMERICANS
WITHIN 700 MILES OF THE NORTH
POLE MINE GETS BIG BENEFIT
THROUGH WAR PRICES.

Far up in the frozen north, within
700 miles of the north pole, an Ameri-
can company is making a fortune out
Of the European war under possibly
bride ever thriyed.
The Arctic Coal company Is a Bos-
ton corporation, owned principally by
y. M. Longyear and Frederick Aver,
which for the past ten years has been
operating a coal mine on the uninhab .
tied and unclaimed islands of West
Spitzbergen, five days voyage north of
the most northerly inhabited point of
Europe. Since the beginning of the
European war the company has great
ly increased Its business and the once
hazardous adventure has turned out
to be a successful enterprise which
reflects great credit on the Americans
who first braved the cold and ice of
the north to test out the coal found
there.
Spitzenberger is a no mans land
discovered by Barents, the Dutch ex-
plorer, and since traversed by many
hardy Adventures. Hendrix Hud-
son, we'll known to New Workers,
touched at Spitzenbergen in 1907 when
he was seeking a northwest passage
to India. Hudson's report of a great

Has Many Claimants.
The land, which was believed to be |
90 far north to be of any real use to |
nan, has been claimed by Russia, Eng
and and Norway, as well as by Hol-
and No agreement has ever been
cached among the nations as to who
hould own it. BY right of possession
considerable part of the main island,
Vest Spitzbergen, belongs to the Uni
cd States, at least to the Arctic Coal
which lays claim to about
90 acres of the best coal land found
here.
The general manager of the COM
any, an American by the name of
colt Turner, comes to the United
tates every year and files his claim G
the territory at Washington. The
tate department has thus far recog- !

ompany in it, but new claim must
