MARKETLETTER
TELLS Mineral
PRODUCTS WORK

From the May market letter Of
Chester B. Ellis & Co. of San Francis
co the following relative to Mineral
Products is taken:
The Mineral Products Company is
encountering just nov the usual prob
lens Of new enterprise Of such big
proportions in developing to the best
advantage Of the company the several
kinds Of raw materials IL has at hand.
Its railroad and tramway is known
TO be completed ana has sufficient
equipment for its needs. The factory
for the manufacture Of manganese di-
oxide is also completed and the man
agement is bending its energy to de-
veloping the process that has been
settled on for, tie conversion of its
manganese ore into valuable product
which Is used in electric batteries,
ETC., and for which there is a broad
and immediate market at good prices.
The process is successful in a labora
tory way, but it IL not yet worked out
to the point where the production Is
on a commercial basis. We understand
there are good hopes Of successfully
solving the difficulties though there
is no indication as yet as to just when
an announcement Of this kind can be
made. In the meantime it Is a matter
for all concerned to exercise a degree
Of patience.
The company is shipping chrome
ore to the steel companies with
which it has contracts The deposits
as developed are not yet extensive
enough to make regular shipments
but exploration work toward this end
continues.
Pending the completion Of the COM
merciaI process of treating the man.
gansses ore the management has the
alternative Of marketing the raw ma.
terial, Of which it has big deposits,
which will probably provide a salts.
factory income. T.
1T must be borne in mind that the
Mineral Products Company is practi.
caliy a pioneefsin the field it~l1as gone
into and stockholders who are natu.
rally impatient should keep this point
IN mind and realize that American in.
genuity is quite capable of success
fully coping with q character of bust!
ness that heretofore has been almost
exclusively in foreign hands"

Expect No Excise Tax
Our private, information from Wash
ington, under date OF April Is, is that
there is disposition on the part Of
the subcommittee OF the ways and
means committee, which is framing
the revenue bill, to entirely eliminate
sugar from the measure. 1t would
seem that there Is so much opposition
to an excise tax on sugar, as suggest
ed by the secretary of the treasury,
that the subcommittee has almost, II
not quite decided not to follow Mr.,
McAdoo in this respect. There Is quite
as much antagonism to an increase Of
the tariff from within the Democratic
party and for the present at least
there is no inclination TO proceed in
that direction. The result is that the
organization is looking about to find
ether rneaIis Of raising the SOC, 600 900
OF revenue which 1t was believed
could be realized On sugar and glu-
eoss: Present Indication also is that

DODGING THE BULLETS.

While preparing for my trip to the
south for the great jubilee at Vicks-
burg I felt rather flattered at the fact
that my state was going to furnish me
free fare to visit not only hundreds
of my comrades whom I had not met
for fifty years but that I would meet
hundreds of "Rebs" whom I had fired
at from pits for days. So I remarked
to some of the comrades in Manches-
ter that I was going to vicksburg
where I used to dodge the bullets in
the trenches, but one or two Of my
old comrades sneared at me and said
had better give them some truth,
but now since my return from Vicks-
burg I am able to confirm my boast
of lodging bullets by many witnesses
whom I met of the Johnnies and of
the Union boys who were accustomed
to lodging shells, balls and bullets.
