ZINC OUTPUT OF BUTTE
NOW EQUAL TO COPPER
REMARKABLE INCREASE LAST
TWO YEARS-FURTHER IN
CREASE is PLANNED.

The tremendous strides that Butte
and the Butte district have made in
the production and refining of zinc in
the past two years is hard to appre-
ciate. According to an eastern min
Butte WILL during the coming sum-
mer, nearly equal the production Of
copper, and with zinc selling at from
10 to II cents per pound for the or
binary brand and as high as 20 cents
a pound for the high grade output of
the Great Falls refinery, and with the
cost of production so far under that
of copper. the importance of this
mining industry to Butte can be APP
preciated With the Anaconda plant
in operation to the extent of six units
and with Butte & Superior and Elm
Orlu maintaining production. (apart
from expansion, which is assured in
both cases). and with the Butte De-
troit mill output. the Butte output
will be between 325,000,000 and $780,,
100000 pounds of finished spelter or
recoverable zinc metal per annum,
against a copper output between $780,
i 100000 and 390.000,OOO pounds. Al
4 lowing for expansion of zinc produce
tion of Butte & Superior Elm Orlu
and Butte & Detroit. it is probable
that the zinc production of Butte by
the end of 1917 may be at the rate of
close to 40O,OO0,OOO pounds recover
able metal per annum,
Great Falls Refinery.
The Anaconda company announces
that the Great Falls zinc refinery, or
Iiginally designed in five units will
have six units completed by this sum
mer. Each of the units was rated at
20 tons of spelter per day. or 100000
pounds premium brand electro metal
per "a hours. 1t so happens that the
actual plant far surpasses eXpecta-
tons, and three of the units recently
in operation have been averaging ap-
proximately 100 tons or 100000 pounds
of spelter. which was expected from
the entire plant of five units. The ad-
dition of sixth unit will therefore
indicate production of double the
original plans-2OO tons per day, or
145,0O0,000 pounds of zinc metal per
annum.

The divining rod continued to be a
favorite subject with alchemistic

The subject was then taken UP by the
church. and for more than 100 years

government permitting this recruiting of Poles, that the existence of large Polish army on the western front has become a certainty.
 The officers of the new Polish army have asked from the United States permission to recruit all of their countrymen who have not yet become naturalized Americans as we'll as all those who have, but who do not come within the age limits of the American conscription laws. This accord has been fully reached, and the military mission in France are receiving the most encouraging reports from the various recruiting centers in the Unit ed States
 Chicago has already produced a great many recruits. Other American cities are doing almost as well. Polish societies, especially the famous Polish gymnastic organizations. or Argentine and Brazil, are also reporting heavy eHllSIIneHlS.
 The new Polish army has already selected its own uniform consisting of very light bluish gray coat, trousers and cap all trimmed in amaranth, a sort of purplish crimson. The white eagle of the Polish nation appears on the national flag. The eagle is also to be seen on the buttons and shoulder straps.
 This distinct uniform is already seen on the streets of Paris along with those of the soldiers of the United States, England, Canada, Belgium. Australia and New Zealand.
 The battalions now organized have already had their first review and in- spection. They passed before General Faurie, commander of the Fourth Re- zion, and following a stirring address by him replied with equally stirring cries of "Niech zye Polska" Uong Live Poland)

CLOSING AT NEW
 YORK Is STEADY
Cotton Market Fluctuates Con- siderably Throughout the Day Weather Map Proved Un- favorable as Expected.

New York, Oct. 19.-A further ad- vance at the opening of the cotton market today attracted general realiz- ing and later fluctuations were irregu- lar. January sold off from 27.35c to 26.90c, rallied 27.25c and closed at 27.14c, with the general list closing very steady, net 8 points higher to 5 points lower.
 The weather map proved as unfav- orable as expected and caused the opening advance of II to 31 points. December sold at 27.8Oc and March at ,27.15c, with most of the active posi- tions making new high records for the season. There was a good deal of Southern selling, also heavy Wall street and local realizing. on this ad- vance, which carried the active months about 1S0 to 200 points above the low levels on the reactions of last week. Selling otherwise was checked by pros poets that the general rains reported in the Eastern belt would be followed by much older weather, with killing temperatures probable in some sec tions. The detailed weather reports showing temperatures below freezing lat all stations in Oklahoma and at several points in Texas was also a factor and after break to 27.33c for December and 26.70c for March, or about IS to 20 points from last night s close, the market turned steadier.
 The absorption of the realizing sales was attributed partly to trade inter- ests and bullish spot advices helped the early afternoon rally, but the bulges seemed to meet increased pro- Itit-taking and the market was rather unsettled in the late trading.

Conferences of Operators and Union Heads Are Barren of Results Miners Object to Automatic Penalty Clause.

Kansas City, Oct. 19-After con- ferences ending late today representa- tives of the Southwestern Interstate Coal Operators Association and the representatives of the United Mine Workers of America in the Southwest coal fields have not reached an agree ment upon which contract may be signed.
 All differences of wage scale exist ing in Missouri, Arkansas and Okla homa have been adjusted, according to F. w. Lukins, president of the operators. He said the miners are obiecting to the automatic penalty clause, which was given as the main reason for the calling of the strike, which was averted by resumption of negotiations.

ALLIES RECRUITING
 LARGE POLISH ARMY
Will Be Ready to Take Its Place on Battlefront by Time the American Army is Ready, and
 Fight for Freedom of Poland.
(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
 Correspondent


 Correspondent.)
 Paris, Oct. (By Mail)-An auto nomous Polish army fighting on the western front for the liberty of the new and independent Poland that the allies have pledged themselves to create, is now an absolute certainty.
 By the time the American army will be in readiness to take its place on the battlefront, the new Polish army will probably be ready to enter the fray. It will be definite military factor in the unbroken front of allied armies ex- tending from the North Sea to Swift zerland and which at that time will see Belgians, English, French, Americans, Russians and Poles fighting side by side for their common aims.
 Already at the Polish camp in France, very similar to the American camp, the first Polish troops are in training. Enlistments of Poles in for eign countries have already been made to an extent to render certain that the future Polish army will number im- portant effectives. At the Polish camp where this army will be trained, the Poles will have the same, full liberty of action in everything pertaining to their army and it's administration as have the Americans in their camp.
 In fact, it is intended that this Pol ish army which is to enter the area fighting for the independence of its country is to serve as a sort of nucleus about which the future Polish govern ment will be organized It is to be- come at once the cumulative heart and center of the future Polish state.
 While the new Polish army is being organized by France, in full accord with her allies, it is nevertheless of utmost interest to the United States, for it is largely from the Poles in America that the army is already re- cruiting it's batallions, regiments and divisions.
 Under the official decree of the French government authorizing the organization on French soil of an in- dependent. autonomous Polish army it's ranks are open to three classes: First. Poles who are already serving in the French army or in the armies of other allied nations; secondly Poles who have sought refuge in various foreign countries, and thirdly Poles living in the United States who having become naturalized American citizens are still not subject to military duty in the United States.
 It is because a full agreement has been entered into with the American

c,rn Pike, Oct. 20.-Thousands of ,1l.rs are to be spent in allaying the au s.t at Camp Pike, which otherwise S0nH seriously hamper training of troons here. Owing to the dryness M ..bis section the dust hangs in heavy
 ,,nas after heavy movement of t,0ons or traffic through the camp.
 Relative to plans for improving con- 1tious, Major General Sturgis, com msnder of the camp said;
 ~ have been authorized to spend OK OOD in this work, but have asked f0r ssOO,OOO and this will do the work 0prmanently and right. The dust is tbe only objection, for we have water ,,d lights and everything else needed for the comfort of the men.
 "Already we have picked out many ,or.rommissioned officers, particularly ,ornorals from the ranks. We have
 
 also assigned some sergeants, but many will not be promoted until the companies are formed. Regiments are formed in accordance with the states, .nd each man is thus in a regiment with his friends. It is possible that men from one locality will be in one company, and certainly they have many friends in regiment.
 q have not seen any homesickness, for I don't believe the men have time to think about such matters. They are every day with the boys from back home, have excellent meals and quarters, and there is no reason for anything but satisfaction.
 "The men who have been here a month are now pretty well drilled. They would he excellently drilled troops but for the fact that each day recruits are added to the squal until company is formed and each company is only as good as are it's recruits. You cannot call on a man for services he will not render.
 We have a road in one part of the camp that is a model. This was built in three days by a company of en- gneers, recently formed, and l know there were men out there using a pick that had never done such work before, but all seemed willing and anxious to t0 1t. have seen wealthy young men working about barracks cleaning win dOws and doing other such work, and when they had the task completed. ask to be called again when such service vas required.
