"GUMsHoE BILL"

One of the supreme judges, upon be-
ing asked by the Jefferson City (Mo.)
Capital News what he thought of Sen
ator Stones recent partisan speech In
the senate, said:
when l was boy / used to fox
hunt with Ben Mobley, the village
blacksmith. Ben had an old dog,
Drum, whose age with its attendant
infirmities rendered him unfit for the
chase. The associations of the old
dogs life were so strongly impressed
on his memory that whenever we
sounded a horn as a signal for a
nights run Drum would come whin-
irg to the kennel fence and beg to
accompany us to the woods. AS soon
as the pack struck trail and were in
full cry old Drums howl would be
heard echoing over the hilltops from
Mobley's home, and it would be con-
t.nued until we finished and called in
the dogs. l noticed that this annoyed
Ben, but he said nothing. One night
as our pack, after 3-hour chase,
was rounding the ridge above Norman
Grey's and we were waiting for DR..
Bill Thurston and Tom Bradbury to
put in with their dogs, Drums howl
seemed more reverberating and
mournful than usual, and l said:
"'Ben, why don't you chloroform
that old dog? He is not only useless.
but a nuisance
81 know that said Ben as we'll as
you do. He has lest his scent, has no
speed, and can only sit on his tail and
howl, keeping the neighbors awake
and soaring the negroes to death,
who think it means a funeral; but
he was a good dog once and led the
pack, and / think | ought to put up
with him for the little time he has
left"

means for having their ore

no local means for having their ore
smelted.
There are some other points in the
conclusions of the legislative commit
tee that might well be criticised. For
example, its attention is confined to
the matter Of smelling Colorado ore.
although in order to obtain sufficient
lead for the successful smelling Of
that ore, the smelters are obliged to
fetch high grade ore from Idaho at a
loss. But. without any doubt, the re-
port of this committee may be charac-
terized on the whole as generous, and
it will certainly be of salutary eff
feet. It Is, for example, made clear to
the miners why payment can not be
made for the lead and copper contents
of ores when they are under minima
that to the uniformed person seem
large.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-02-28

the ground for criticism in that re-
spect. while it Is probable the plants
could not be reproduced at those fig
ures at present" says the committee.
they could be in normal times" Here
we have the same uneconomic view
regarding capital that has found ex-
preston in the treatment of American
railways during the last 10 years, in
the drafting Of the war profits tax law
of 1917, etc. According to this view,
capital represents only land and con-
structions in present use, and is en-
| cent upon that basis.
The smelling of 775.000 tons Of ore
per annum may be assumed as mean
| ing about 100000 tons of charge. AS
Stunning that 100000 tons of smelling
capacity, divided among five smelters,
had been built in Colorado just pre-
vious to 1912, it is probable that the
cost of construction would have been
about $2,7OO,O00, or about $2.7O per ton
of annual capacity. capitalization up
on such basis would fail to take in
/ to account the expense of creating an
organization to conduct such a bust
ness successfully, and in the case Of
the smelling works of Colorado the
losses suffered in order to bring them
to their present position as profit
earners. We find. by reference to our
own survey Of silver-lead smelling
capacity, published in our annual sta
tistical numbers, that the five silver
lead smelling wokrs Of Colorado have
an annual capacity of about 100000
tons of charge per annum. Conse-
quently, only about so per cent of the
actual smelling capacity Of Colorado
has been capable of use during the
last five years. Reckoning capital up
on what is used rather than on what
exists is a weird idea.
But more than that, during the last
20 years many once important smelt
ing works that were bought and paid
for have had to be abandoned and even
dismantled. Among those have been
the Grant works. at Denver, the Phil
adelphia and Pueblo works, at Pueblo
all the works In Leadville except the
Arkansas Valley. The amortization OF
these plants was never accounted for
in the cost of smelling, although Of
course it constituted part Of the cost
OF smelling, but came out of the pro-
fits of the business. The method Of
, the American Smelling & Refining
company has been to negotiate Its
J amortization by perpetuation, If we
may coin that expression. In Other
words, it has sought to replace mort
bund plants by new ones in more pros
porous districts conforming thus tC
changes in the geography of the min.
: ing industry, which has been done gu

FRONT, Wednesday. December rs (by

land. deep with snow and with Christ

the American. French, British and
Russian troops on this front celebrat-

where the Vologda -Archangel railway
cuts narrow path through the arctic
wilderness of pine and spruce forests.
there was such Christmas cheer as
the putting od-burning locomotives
could bring to the front lines.
The troops ate their Christmas
extra fare in their log cabins and
paced their beats in the cold and the
darkness. wondering whether or not
the bolShevik armored train crew
would observe the holiday also, us

In the rear positions most of the
Americans had their Christmas din

the tiny, heated Russian box cars,
or in their billets. where the peasant
fathers of the families where the
men were CHARTERED usually had
boards similar to that of the tras.i-
tional Santa Claus. The Red Gro IS

best of all, the Christmas mail ar
