OFFICIAL PAPER OF SEWARD
COUNTY, LIBERAL CITY AND
UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1917-07-26

subscribe to fund being raised by
the Kansas State Council of Defence
for the purpose of supplying the far
mers of Kansas with seed wheat
We may be accused of treason,
arson, .larcency and many of the
other crimes common to depraved
classes, but we are going to say
frankly that we are not at all in SYM
pathy with the plan.
Our reason is that we think the
State Council if Defence is asking
too much from the farmer. A circu-
lar received by this paper from the
Council gives the information that
! in return for the seed wheat the far
mer is to deliver at the elevator one
fifth of the crop raised from said
seed.
The Council is asking too much.
The thirty-six per cent profit as
estimated by the Council is exhorbi-
tant. We fail to see any patriotism
in an investment that promises to
pay that interest. 1t looks like the
farmer was going to get the short
end of the bargain. Take for in
stance the tenant farmer. When he
has delivered one-third Of his crop to
the landlord and ohe-fifth to the
Council he will have but little left for
himself.
The circular says the risk consists
in providing about $1.75 per acre
for seed. 1t goes on to state that
with an average yield of ten bushels
per acre, the four-fifths bushel of
seed would be returned with two
bushels of wheat or 200 per cent
The Democrat is against this prop
osition. If it is patriotism we are
talking let the farmer have the
wheat and pay it back bushel for
bushel. If it is a money making
proposition paying thirty-six per
cent interest let's quit talking about
patriotism and the needs of the AL
lies, and let the State Council of
Defence pay for the advertising the
newspapers are asked to give free.
This loks to US like case where
the farmers and the newspapers are
to be the goats.

This paper is believer in both
national prohibition and woman's
suffrage, but we are not at all in
sympathy with the plan of the pro-
hibition and suffrage leaders to
force issues at this time. Right now
we have about the biggest job on our
hands that we have ever tackled.
The war is affecting business to no
small extent, and any shake-up in in
dustrial conditions would certainly
have an ill effect. We have gotten
along very well the past few years
and can make it few more, and we
believe it is wrong to take up the
time of the heads of the government
with these matters when others of
more lasting Importance should be
considered. The big thing right now
is to win the war, and everything
else should be forgotten.

FAMOUS WELL DRY.

ST. Winnifred's well, the most fam
Gus in the British Isles and for CEN
turtles the mecca for pilgrims from all
parts of Europe, has gone dry.
The we'll gave up more than 1000
gallons per minute. The town of Holy
well, North Wales, relied on the well
for it's water supply and considerable
revenue was derived from the pill
grims and from the Roman Catholic
church which paid the town council
an annual rental for the privilege OF
building a shrine and conducting SER
vices on the site.
AS soon as the well failed an inves-
tigation to ascertain the reason was
begun and the authorities believe they
have fathomed the mystery. II seems
that the engineers in order to drain
the waters that have hindered the
mining of lead deposits under Halkir
mountain tunnelled deep and unex-
pectedly tapped the subterranear
stream that broke from the ground al

LEAD IN 1916.
Geological Survey Gives Close Estim
ate of Total Production.

The United States geological survey,
department of the interior, has just
published it's estimate of the produce
ton of lead in 1916. In the produce
ton of lead ore there was a gain of
10 per cent over the preceding year,
the lead content of ore mined in 1916
being estimated at 200 short tons.
Missouri had the largest production
and also made a gain of more than
5000 tons. Good gains were made
by California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah,
and New Mexico. The production of
refined lead, desilverized and soft,
from domestic and foreign ores, was
approximately $4,000 tons, worth at
the average New York price, 1885, 900,
compared with 550,055 tons, worth
$51, 705 900 in 1915. The output of an
timonial lead was about 1880 tons,
worth about $4,2S3,O00. The domes-
tic production was made up of $4,000
tons of desilveriZed lead and 234,20O
tons of soft lead worth in all about
foreign ores is estimated at 21,4O0 tons.
The imports of lead in all forms were
about $4,000 tons, and the exports
were about 1850 tons, of which 1885,
200 tons were derived from domestic
ores. The total exports of lead were
valued at about s15,S32,00O. The con-
sumption of lead, as near as 1t can be
calculated, disregarding stocks Of do
mestic lead was 471,2O0 tons, COM
pared with 426751 tons in 1915. The
price of lead was nearly so per cent
higher in 1916 than during the preced-
ing year, the average spot quotations
at New York being 6.S cents a pound,
as compared with Al cents in 1915.

with a good supply of coca leaf, which
he can obtain from the mining com.
pany at the mouth of the mine. The
numerous feast days interfere great,
with the work, for not only does the
cholo spend those days in dancing and
drinking, but also the succeeding days
as well. A holiday thus means al
most complete cessation of mining
work for several days.
The Cholos are very superstitious
and have many queer beliefs. One OF
these in connection with the Whitsun-
day observances is typical. On that
day the miners will kill one or two
sheep or llamas at each tunnel and
sprinkle the blood about the entrance,
claiming that the mountain is hungry
and must be fed, else it will cease to
be productive. The mine owners usu-
ally furnish the animals, but should
they fail to do so, the Cholos will pro-
vide them.
Three Large Companies Control the
District.
The largest operations are conducted
by Luis Sioux, a Frenchman, who has
made a fortune during the past 20
years in his Potosi mines. His prn-
cipal mines are the Caracoles, Moro
poto, Medina, Poderosa, San Dimas,
La Riva, Santa Rita, Pailaviri and Po-
tosi, all of which with the exception
of the last, are on the north side of
the mountain. The output of his
mines during 1915 was about 1865
tons of ore a day. He has several
small mills and one large one, the We
larde, which is just below the town
of Potosi.
Bebin Hermanos, operating on the
northwest side of the mountain,
works the pasoc ores alone, and con-
sequently produce only tin. They al
so buy some ore from the small opera
tors. Their principal mines are the
Carrasco, Chingurani, San Antonio
and Puytucani. They have two mills
in Potosi-the Huayra and the Santa
Rosa Their production is extremely
variable. For example during May,
1915, they shipped 1874 tons of SIS plus
per cent tin barrila, while in the fol-
lowing month they only shipped Al
tons.
