GREATEST PRODUCTION OF
 ANTHONY ORES

The prices of antimony in 1915 were probably the highest known since the metal became 8 regular article of commerce. The highest prices were naturally reflected in far the largest production made in the United States, and probably the same treatment is true for the worlds production.
 According to preliminary figures collected for the United States Geo logical Survey by Frank L. Hess, the production of antimony ores in the United States is estimated to have been about 5000 tons, con taining about 2,0O0 tons of anti mony, valued at s325,000.
 The price, which in July 1914, had been down to a monthly aver age that ranged from 5.44 to I'll cents a pound and depended on the brand, rose gradually, though un- steadily, to the end of 1915, when Chinese Japanese and American antimony were quoted at 40 cents 8 pound.
 Miners and smelters, apparently thinking that the prices would not be held long, did not begin produc- ton as quickly as they might have done, but before the close of the year properties in Alaska, Califor- mia, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington were producing. Prices for ores ranged from s1 to S2.10 per unit of antimony. At first only ores carrying 50 per cent or more antimony were in demand, but before the close of the year 9 per cent ores wer being shipped from Nevada.
 From Alaska, according to data collected by Alfred H. Brooks, about 685 tons of stibnite ore car rying B per cent antimony was produced in the Fairbanks district. It is reported that 132 tons were shipped from Nome, but probab- ly more was mined.
 The largest production was made from deposits near Wild Rose Spring, in the Panamint Range, Cal. Other deposits were mined in California-at many places in Kern County, in the eastern end of San Benito County, and on Moore's Flat near Grass Valley. In Nevada considerable quantities were mined at many places, most of them in the northwest quarter of the State. Oregon, Washington and Idaho pro duced small quantities of ore, and In Arkansas company was organ ized to work old properties west of Gilman.
 The present high prices are of course temporary. The Chinese de- posits are large and are worked by cheap labor, and deposits are being developed in other parts of the world, so that as soon as the war is over, and possibly before, prices will prbably drop nearly to a level with those of 1914.

were wounded in a fight between po-
lice and food rioters at Frankfort on

black famine flags and singing socialis-
tic songs.
The women forced their way into one

by soldiers and policemen. After a
search they found some meat which
they cut up and continued their march
holding the pieces above their heads
Police attempted to take the meat
from the women and a general fight
followed. in which the officers usec
their swords. One woman was arrested
for shouting Down with the emperor"
A local paper which referred to the af-
fair was ordered suspended for two
months.

Filing of Affidavit Attacked.

An interesting feature brought out in
the course of the argument by counsel
for the defense of the prayers of the
opposition counsel was the question as
to whether the famous affidavit, upon
which the perjury charges are based
ever legally came before Justice Nc
Coy in the equity case in which il was
filed.
Counsel for the prosecution had Of
fered prayer to the court in which 1t
asked that the jury be instructed, as a
matter of law. concerning the salient
features of the equity case brought be-
fore Justice Mccoy year ago. when
the Riggs National Bank asked that
legal restraint be placed upon John s.
regard to alleged prosecutions against
the bank.
In arguing against the granting of
this prayer, counsel for the defense
contended that, inasmuch as Justice
Mccoy has never given decision upon
the question as to whether the equity
case in question was within the juris-
diction of the court in which he sat, the
famous affidavit never was legally pre-
sented in evidence. Basing their claim
upon this argument. counsel for the de-
fense insisted that il the affidavit was
form there could never have been. un-
der any circumstances, any perjury
1t is the opinion of the defense that
should Justice Mccoy decide that the
equity case was without the jurisdic-
tion of the court in which he sat, the
whole fabric of the present charge
would crumble.
Justice Siddons decided to grant the
prayer of the prosecution, and an ex-
ception was noted by the defense.

Gates Of stock for the bank itself"
Ihe court granted three other pray
ers. one Of the most important Of which
IN view of the testimony Of Frank j.
hogan of counsel for the defense when
ne was on the witness stand that the
bank officials had signed the affidavit
on MS advice. was a prayer that the
jury shall be instructed that "as a mat
ter or law advice of counsel is not a
defense unless that advice was relied
upon and unless it was predicated upon
a Iull and fair disclosure by the de-
PENDANTS to counsel giving the advice
OF all the facts and circumstances
known to them attending and shedding
iight on the transactions and course of
dealing sought to be negatived or ex-
planned in and by the affidavit"
another prayer by the government
granted by Justice Siddons is that the
jury shall be instructed that the issue
or question of fact to be determined
ana decided by the justice holding the
hand, the controller of the currency
was about to revoke or withhold his
approval Of the Riggs National Bank
as a depository for the reserves of
otner national banks because of a con-
splracy between himself and the Sec
retary of the Treasury, or, on the other
hand. because the Riggs National Bank
had bought stock or sold stock by or
through Lewis Johnson & Co"
The remainder of this prayer dealt
with the questions of whether in the
affidavit the defendants "willfully and
corruptly" made oath; whether the en-
tries on the Lewis johnson Co. books
were false: whether the bank bought
or sold stock through the johnson
1rm, and whether the defendants knew
the said oath to be false.
