NNuAL REPORT of the Sue

NNUAL REPORT or the sue
~ cess Mining company was
n mailed to stockholders last
Friday. The report covers the
year ending December 81, 1916, and
would doubtless have been submitted
to the stockholders IA month or more
ago had the company not been re-
strained from holding its annual meet
ing by an order from the court. The
income from all sources during the
year was $693,9O1S1. Operating ex-
penses We're $47l l.S62.04. leaving a net
company started the year with asur-
plus of $251, ,l10.79. During the year
seven dividends We're paid, aggregat-
ing $S45.O00. Cash surplus on hand
December 81, 1916. $l37, ,15050 In ad
diton to the figures that appear be-
low. the report includes a detailed re-
port of development work accomplish
ed during the year. Development ag
gregated 550S feet, divided as follows,
Drifting, 411G feet; raising, 1172 feet;
sinking, 220 feet. Every level, from
the 100 to the 1900 is represented in the
development. Much of this large
amount of development proved to be in
rather lean ground and failed to make
returns commensurate with the eX-
pense.
Strike on the 1400.
On the 400 level, however, an ore
shoot was encountered which is de-
scribed in the report as t20 feet long,
having a back of 100 feet and averag-
ing 16 feet wide. This was regarded
as the most important strike that had
been made in the mine in years. both
with respect to character and quantity
of the ore and the geological condi-
tions under which it was found. Since
the date covered by the report the
estimate placed upon the importance
of the strike on the 400 level has been
further confirmed by locating the same
ore shoot on the 1900 level. The shoot
on this level has now been drifted
upon 110 feet, the face of the drift
being still in ore. A .crosscut is now
being run to determine it's width. 1t
was authoritatively stated yesterday
that the crosscut had been extended
20 feet in ore. and how much wider
the shoot is remains to be determin-
ed. The ore is of high milling grade,
and while the proportions of lead and
zinc are not materially different from
the ore in the upper levels, the two
metals separate more freely and in
that respect it is a more desirable
milling ore. Barring occasional de-
lay in getting cars the company Is
now in position to maintain shipments
at the rate of 1000 tons per month
and it is understood that substantial
profit is now being earned.
The annual report of the company
is submitted by F. j. Gearon, presi-
dent and manager, without comment:

HAVE YOU ANY
Credit Must Be Improved.

"This leads to the consideration as to
whether railroad credit is as good as
the public interest requires. 1t is i'm
possible for railroads to earn enough
to supply the necessary new facilities
from current revenue. They must be
provided from credit. Investors can
not be cOerced, but must be attracted"
Among the conditions affecting rail-
road credit which deter investors he
mentioned the following:
First, Railroad revenues are not
controlled by investors, but are fixed
and limited by governmental authority
and not by one but by several govern
mental authorities, which do not recog
nize responsibility for assured results
to investors and are uncoordinated.
Second, Railroads cannot control
and the government cannot and does
rot limit the expense account.
Third, The present system OF regu
lation is based. on policy of regulation
and correction and not on a policy of
helpfulness and encouragement.
Fourth The outstanding obligations
of the railroads have already exceeded
the financial rule Of safety and involve
4 dispropOrtlonate amount of Obliga
tions Bearing fixed charges.
"Fifth, The investor must accept q
subordinate obligation or security with
no assurance of surplus of earnings
to support it.
"SiXth, Other competitive lines of in
vestment present superior attractions.
Seventh, The railroad business Is
largely controlled by political instead
Of business considerations.
Look Forward, Not Back.
"We may debate about what has
caused the present conditions" said
Mr.. ThOm, "but we cannot debate about
what the people need. The President
has taken the view that we must look
forward in this matter and make q
fresh assessment of circumstances in
order to deal helpfully and intelligent
ly with the problem. Abuses are
no more prevalent In the railroad busi-
ness today than in any other business
u huLidutiN COultiClcu. Inc great IucS-
tion now is whether the existing sys-
tenn of regulation gives the public re-
liable assurance Of sufficient present
and future railroad facilities.
Those who oppose any change must
make their appeal on the ground that
the present systems assure the public
OF the continued adequacy of trans
portation facilities. If they do not, no
argument based on the desira bilty of
the present dual system of regulation
will be accepted by public judgment.
The question of states rights is not
involved. If the regulation of transpor-
tation facilities privately owned should
fail government ownership must fol-
low, and then all power of the states
over the railroads would disappear.
LET us debate this question, then,
not upon any mere theory or jealousy
as to the distribution of governmental
power, but upon the large issue OF
what the public interest requires in
respect of the assurance of adequate
transportation service"

AGAINST THE WOODEN FENCE
New York Society Seeks to Substitute
Wire for Boards Around Yards
of Tenement Houses.

Wooden fences, such as mark OF
yards in the rear of most tenement
houses, have been condemned by the
tenement house committee Of the
Charity Organization Society of New
York. "Long dreary rows of hideous
board fences, which invite fire and the
accumulation of rubbish" must 60
and in their place be substituted by
open wire fences, the committee de-
c1ares.
Every owner Of an apartment or
tenement house, every builder and
architect will be called upon in this
campaign. It Is the purpose to wage
a crusade for several months, investi-
gators being convinced that the open
wire fence will do much to provide
more attractive and sanitary rear
yards through the city.
"A constant fire danger, an excellent
hiding place for thieves, an encour-
agement to the accumulation Of rub
bish, quickly weatherworn and trans
formed into an eyesore, the board
fence makes tenement yards worse
than useless.
''Children find them unattractive to
play in; they are no incentives for
planting grass and flowers; they de-
tract from the tenants supply of light
and air, and are in every way unde-
sirable.
with the change to metal fences
tenement yards will become attractive
Fairgrounds for children, will encour-
age competition among tenants in
keeping the premises clean, and in adj
'idit1on will allow the light and air to
circulate freely.
The use of metal fences in tene-
Iment yards should do more to solve
the problem Of providing play space
for children than any movement that
has been undertaken in years"

SERVE THE FOODSTUFFS!!
Everywhere this cry is ascending unto heaven. II comes from
the starving women and children on the batte-strlckeh helus ol
Poland and Serbia and Belgium and France.
1t comes from the great army captains and the great statesmen
of both Europe and America.
1t comes from the war specialists who assure US that n decla-

We have the men and the money and the materials 1or attalh

Cor sustaining our armies at their maximum strength Is IN some
measure Of doubt.
Farmers are besought to increase their yields; children are urged
70 utilize every available spot of ground for gardens; housewives
are asked to save every scrap, even the crumbs that fall alike from
the tables Of the rich and the poor.
But in the midst of this great campaign for the conservation OF
our foodstuffs we regret to note that the brewery interests are pow

rice, is not altogether destroyed in the making of beer, for it-barley

the food value is thereby lost, are we not inconsistent when we
permit these cereals TO be utilized for such purpose?

BOTTLE THE DoG-FIGHT ENERGY.

If some man were wise enough to devise means for bottling up all
the energy that goes to waste on account of dog fights in America in
a single day, we'd have enough to wipe out Europe at one fell
IsWOop.
Several times within the past week enough energy Of the sort
human and otherWlse-has been wasted in WATERFOWL to whip any
military division on earth! If other sections do as well in the
matter of wastage-and it isn't presumed that WATERFOWL has a
monopoly of the busness-we'd have to discover new and unoccu-
pied continents on which to store the surplus!
We are talking about the conservation of this and the lconser
walton OF that and the conservation Of some other thing, but nobody
seems to have thought Of conserving the energy that we permit to
go to waste!
II we have men great enough to send a message three thousand
miles through the air, without strings or wires, across waters and
over mountain tops; if we store up power and turn it loose at will
for operating machinery; if we draw pictures and write letters
Thousand miles away from our pen, why aren't we smart enough

A ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION MAN.

Every WelEregulated newspaper office may truthfuly boast of
the possession of two very important editors. One of them manip
ulates the typewriter and the other handles the scissors. One is
known as the editor-in-chief and the other as5the exchange editor
1t is the business of the editorin-chief to employ language for
the purpose OF conceaEng his thoughts. The greater he is as AN
editor the less he says. The truly brilliant editor never says any
thing. lie merely lmpresses upon the minds of his readers that he
Knows a lot and induces them to part with their hard-earned dol
lars for what he doesn't tell them.
It's the exchange editor who really does the business. It's he
who snatches sclntllating fuIminati0ns from the brains of all the
bright and shining literary and scientific lights of the universe and
whips them into comprehensive form for the edifcation of his
readers. He's the man who gives to a paper that variety which is
the spice of life.
In the last edition of The Saturday News there was conspicu-
oHs evidence OF his handiwork with the shears. We herewith re-
produce a portion of it, with border added, for the purpose of en-
