It is understood that under its con-

Hecla Mining company will pay to
that concern l cent pound for each
and every pound of copper recovered
in the use of fotation concentration.
This contract covers Caluemt & Hec-

The most advantageous contract
yet made by the Minerals Separation
company has apparently been that
with the Inspiration Consolidated

| BUTTE, Mont. Nov. 24.-Far reach

making its shafts fireproof are planned
aby the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany in consequence of the lessons
learned from the fires at the Tramway,
Modoc and Granite Mountain shafts,
and for the Anaconda, the lining of the
Tramway shaft is the beginning of a

For some time the North Butte
company has had the concreting of its

shaft instead of timbers, the steel
beams first being riveted together and

To meet this objection. the Anacon-

fire for depth of 200 feet early this
year, the shaft walls are being lined
with wire lath and concrete is forced
through the interstices OF the lath by

enclosing the wire lath, rendering the
wire impervious to the disin.egrating
effect of the chemical action of copper
water, and completely encasing the

Government Now Paying Average
Prices For Metal.

The committee OF lead producers
which worked with the war industries
board in meeting the requirements OF
the government has been succeeded
by another committee to work along
the lines of the copper committee.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the governments lead pur-
chases will be made on the basis OF
average monthly prices. instead Of a
flat rate such as was paid for several
thousand tons delivered in August.
This was on the basis of cents a
pound.
The price paid in October was 6.65
cents and the November transactions
whatever they may total, will also be
on the average quotation for the
month.
Lead production was never so great,
the present output being estimated at
about $4,000 tons monthly against re-
quirements below that figure. This
leaves a surplus piling up.

Jerome District
Signs Agreements

Judge Ernest w. Lewis of Phoenix,
has Just returned from the Jerome dis
trict where he went under appointment
from the government as mediator 10
/ formulate an agreement between the
miners and operators which would in
sure the continuous operation of these
important properties at least during
the time of war. He has brought back
with him a copy of the agreement
reached, an agreement based upon the
work of the late Judge Mcbride, VINO
was mediator in that district, with
some changes TO make it conform to
the style of agreement reached in the
Globe Miami and Clifton districts. The
most important section aside from
those framed by Judge Mcbride is that
which provides for a federal admins
tration arbitrator This arbitrator is
to act in a judicial capacity when dis
putes between the operators and the
workers arise, if such instances do
come up. He is to hear complaints
from both sides and adjudge the right
in such instances. The arbitrator for
the Jerome district is to be Joseph S.
Myers, who is also serving in like ca
pacity for the Globe district There are
to be two alternates to act in case he
is unable to do so. Aside from this
feature the agreement is said by Judge
Lewis to follow along the general lines
negotiated by Judge Mcbride during
the time he spent at Jerome. 1t is cal
culated to keep the properties upon a
stage of maximum produc lion during
the course of the war and thus add to
the list of assured copper supply one
of the greatest copper fields in the
greatest copper states in the world.

HOMESTEAD ENTRY WHEN
THE CLAIMANT is IN PRISON

The general land office department
of the interior has made public the fol-
lowing letter addressed to registers
and receivers:
Sirs: You are advised that under
date October 20, 1917. the secretary
of the interior instructed this office
as follows:
81 have received and considered your
memorandum of September II, 1917.
and accompanying papers. in the mat
ter of homestead entrymen who, sub
sequent to date of entry are placed
under judicial restraint; that, who,
because of conviction for a crime or
crimes are incarcerated in jails or
other institutions and thereby pre-
vented from continuing residence up
on and improvement of their claims.
81 am of the opinion that such re-
straint should not, under the law, or
as a matter of policy, be held to ex-
cuse compliance with the requirements
of the homestead law, but that such
conviction and restraint do not war
rant the cancellation or forfeiture of
the entry.
Il have therefore to direct that in
all such cases the entries shall, upon
the filing of evidence of such judicial
restraint, be placed in a state of sus-
picion and so held until the termina-
ton of the judicial restraint, where
upon the entryman shall be required
to comply with the requirements of
the applicable homestead laws as a
prerequisite to final proof and patent"

LAKE OUTPUT GAINING.
Contract System Credited With Much
OF the Increase.


CALUMET, Mich. Nov. 24.-Final
rock tonnage figures for October for
the mines of the Lake Superior dis
trict indicate an increasing output OF
refined copper for the district and No
vember figures tend to show that a
further increase in production of COP
per this month can be counted on.
Many of the mines, particularly
some of the larger producers, showed
better production than was registered
any month since July. March was the
high month for the year in point OF
production.
The Calumet & Hecla Mining COM
pany will finish out its year with a
production of close TO S0.O00,O00
pounds of copper. The entire district
is expected to make a production of at
least 225.O00,000 pounds.
The increase in the number of men
working in the mines, particularly
TRAINERS is responsible for the in
creases reported.
Much larger production of copper is
being made at the present time than
was possible five years ago with great
er crews of men. One of the big reas-
ons is the effective working of the con
tract system, as it is found that con-
tract miners and trammers work much

THE DEVILS OUTCAST
By NED WHITE

AS the devil passing along one day,

To soul on a redhot CRATE.
The soul replied as he turned with groan,
And coughed up a sizzling spark,
81 am Wobbly! And my goal
Was your gates of outer dark
The devil looked down with scornful frown
On the squirming, wrigglng soul,
and he said, with sneer, Then you here
On strike!-you whimpering fool?"
The soul replied, he turned his side
And spit out some suffering Stag,
II could improve your secondclass hell
Though l not here to brag."
The devil then gave his horns a shake,
And said with a muttered oath,
my reputation seems at stake,
And hell cannot hold both"
He turned in wrath to the scorching soul
That sat the red-hot grids,
And said, GO back, you loathsome swine,
And do your master bids!"
The soul returned to the world of men,
On devilish mischief bent;
To poison the minds of wobbly fools
With treason and discomfort.
He wanders now from place to place.
