BENEFICIAL RESULTS OF MINING

There p millions of people in this country who have but
little knowledge of the vast importance of the mining industry
$ affecting other lines of business and occupation, and VINO
have a vague idea that only the mining operator IS Denenteu
nv the production of the precious and baser metals. And they
even look upon the industry as being an occupation In when
tbore arc nor chances to lose than there are to win, and have
not the slightest conception of the immediate and beneficial
relations that mining bears to other lines of industry.
For instance, the Utah Copper company of Bingham, otah'
is the largest copper producer in the state. 1t has by far the
largest payroll of any mining or other corporation IN hs III
tormountain region and in its mines, mills, shops and railroads
gives employment to a force of 5000 men. If all OF It's earnings
went solely to stockholders they would be many times million
aires by this time. During its brief existence 1t has pald nearl!
eighty millions in dividends. But, during this perlod II d
maid $685. 100000 for supplies, machinery, labor, equipment,
land. etc. and, at its present rate of production including trans
portation expenses, has an average payroll OF S|oopUo per
month. and this vast amount is distributed through various
channels until every line of industry, of endeavor, is reached
and beneficiaIy affected. The farmer gets his share and SO
does the manufactures. The employee is able to meet his obi
cations with the merchant and every line of business IS
reached.
Beides the farmer. the merchant, the doctor, the grocer
and the laboring man, other industries are benefited by the
earnings of the company. In it's operations the company uses
in the neighborhood of 500 tons of coal daily, thus giving
profitable employment to the coal miner and makes business
for the. coal producer. AS its product goes to the smelters,
other men. are directly benefited, while its consumption of pow
der and dynamite gives employment to hundreds of others.
The sumspaid by the company for labor in 1917 amounts to
kyice as much as the total tax collected by Salt Lake countyin
NHyear N II and the assessment for national, state and county
~ e yea. ss' ,ssl the total taxes collected i" the state Of
~o1 avail are many mining companies whose records run
along SIMILAR lines, companies who are making heroic and pa
triotic efforts to help Uncle Sam in the war with the hated
Hun, and whose contributions to the Liberty loan and other war
measures have made it possible to make up the allotment for
the third loan.
The beneficial results of mining are many and far-reach-
ing. and it is high time that the people of the United States
come to a better understanding of what the industry means to
them. and to the ~nation-Mining Review.

SHIPBUHDERS MAKING GOOD

The United States shipping board is before congress ask
ing for a S2yOOOOOO,OOO appropriation for the continuace OF It's
campaign. This huge sum of money is to be expended IN pro-
ducing ships that will carry our men and munitions TO france
during the war. and be turned into the carriers of American
commerce after the war. The shipping board asks Tor 1t IN
full assurance of obtaining a hearing, because 1T can snow re-
snlts. In April 100000 tons of shipping left the ways and slid
into the water, and shortly all of that will be in service.
Based on the April record, the %shipyards are producing 5000
tons of shipping daily, and the entire capacity has not yet
been tested. Miracles of construction have been and are being
accomplished under the spur of the war, that America may
fulfill its pledges to the world. Our shipbuilders have follow
ed the lead of the army and are making good.

RIGHT WILL PREVAIL

America realizes today to the depth of her soul, as Brit
ain and France and Italy realize, that it is not enough in this
world conflict now raging with indescribable desperation to
rely solely on the conviction of the righteousness of the cause
in which they have drawn the sword. OF a truth, here is a
profound case where faith without works is dead. The great
battle has already been waged for weeks and months; it may
he prolonged for weeks and possibly months to come. Never
on this earth has there been so gigantic a conflict, never an
issue upon which the destines of the world so vitality depended.
The emergency serves supreme demand upon the nations and
the peoples allied to overthrow the Beast, to make every sac
rifce cheerfuly, to practice every economy, to put forth every
energy and exertion that can add to the war-power and the
striking force of the armies in the field.
The losses in the ranks of our friends during the past
dreadful two months have been heavy, and our own have not
been inconsiderable. Their greater wastage has been in part
repaired by our own boys, battalions of whom are now to be
found, not only in French divisions to which we yearned and
leaned in sympathy long before we entered the war ourselves,
but also in British divisions, a partnership never previously
known. and hence all the more suspicious of happy results
in gallant legions on the western front to bear a part in what
by common consent is probably destined to be the decisive
struggle of the great conflict.
Thus with every possible preparation made, and resolution
keyed to its highest pitch, we may await the unfolding OF
events with a good conscience and with calm confidence. The
|iidings day by day, whether good or bad, need not cause us to
lose GOODNESS of head or stoutness of heart. 1t cannot be that
wrong shall triumph, the wheels of progress be turned back,
the CALLING chains of proud despotism be riveted afresh upon
human freedom. But the power of evil is slow to yield, and
the nearer it is pushed to the brink of defeat the more savagely
lit fights, the more desperately it resolves to drag its opponents
into the abyss with it to a commo ruin.
Sir Douglas Haig has said our side were fighting with
their backs to the wall-this being not a suggestion of despair
but of sturdy hope; a great advantage, plainly, over those who,
instead of a stffened, impenetrable wall have only a dark and
pressure in fOnt-Exchange.

When so-called socialism shows it's head in your presence

branch of the one in Germany. 1t is a part of German propa-
ganda."

NO PEACE BY NEGOTIATION

Lord Lansdowne again calls for peace by negotiation.
Russia secured such a peace and disbanded her army, but the
Germans have continued to invade and occupy her richest
provinces. They control all southern and southwestern Rus
STA in a clean sweep to the Don and have turned the Black Sea
into a German lake, which is also the status of the Baltic Sea
with Finland under German control. Give Germany time to
organize her conquests in Eastern Europe and to draft Firms,
Russians and other peoples into her military establishment,
and she will be mistress of Europe and half of Asia.
Does Lord Lansdowne think that any negotiated peace will
be more sacred than the treaty of Brest-Ltovsk? The war
must end with a peace of victory and the triumph of democracy
throughout Europe or Germany will start another war for
world dominion within ten years-Exchange.

RUSSIA WILL FIGHT ON
Says Trotsky In Peace Break--Petro.
grad In u Fever Of War
Preparations.

Petrograd, January ll-Russia will
not agree to peace devised by Ger
man imperlalists; she will fight ito
the bitter end" and rely on the great
plain people Of the central power to
rise up and aid In international peace.
Leon Trotsky, minister OF foreign
affairs, so asserted In speech at
Brest Litovsk In the first OF the re-
newed peace meetings, according to
dispatches from that place today.
AS II to back up his vigorous words,
Petrograd was in fever Of war prep
arations.
Trotsky formally asked another
suspension OF the Brest-Litvosk peace
conference until Russian and Ukrain-
ian delegates could formulate replies
to the central powers proposals, ac-
cording to an official statement to-
day.
The reply will be read at further
sitting at II o'clock today, it was
stated. The Ukrainians and Russians
recently decided upon joint action at
Brest-Litovsk.
Trotsky's speech at the conference
however, indicated there is little hope
of Germany and Russia reaching an
agreement.
Russia has no intention of suing
for mercy II the imperialists refuse
to listen to the voice of the people,"
Trotsky said.
IF the central powers democrats
do not speak, Russia will fight to the
bitter end-not so much from the
trenches as in an uprising of the peo-
pie to interpose barricades at every
step against their oppressors."
Trotsky insisted upon transfer of
the peace negotiations to Stockholm.
Nicholai Lenine re-echoed his fellow
Bolsheviki's sentiments as to Russia s
determination to fight for an adequate
peace, in an interview given out prior
to his departure. presumably for
Stockholm, today.
Il fear we must halt our demobiliz-
alton and prepare for war; he said.
III Germany will not accept our
conditions, we shall declare a revol-
tionary war. We will not agree to a
shameful peace"

NO Cyclone


During the past twenty-four hours
Maysville and surrounding territory
has experienced about every variety
of weather on the map.
Yesterday morning II was cloudy.
In the afternoon II started raining
and froze TO the streets and pave
ments as soon as 1t hit, except in
spots, where 1t was very slushy. Be-
ginning at about $3.50 o'clock last
night a heavy snow began to fall, ac-
companied by high winds, which
created one OF the worst blizzards
experienced In this section for many
years. And to top things off the gov
ernment thermometer at the home Of
Mrs. Mary Marsh, on Forest avenue,
showed that It was l2 degrees below
zero, and It seemed even colder than
that on account Of the wind.
Street car traffic has been stopped
since about 10 O'Clock last night on
account of the fact that the rain and
snow froze to the track so quickly
that the cars could not run on them.
An effort was made to clear the
tracks last night but to no avail The
tracks were salted this morning to
melt the Ice and traffic was resumed
about $50 O'Clock.
Four C. G. o. engines at the fair
grounds and cre at Manchester froze
up last night and are therefore now
out of commission.
A freight train on the west-bound
track at Concord blocked traffic con-
siderably on account Of the fact that
several of the drawbars were out.
Fast train No. s was three hours late
here.
Reports from the county are that
the snow has drifted so deep in
places that the roads are impossible
on account Of this business conditions
here are utterly demoralized so far
as the country people are concerned.
There is doubtless much suffering
among the poor people Of our city and
1t is now up to the good people of
Maysville to assist the City Mission in
making them as comfortable as pos
sible.

PROGRESS MADE BY KENTUCKY
RURAL SCHOOLS In
PAST YEAR

Frankfort, KY, January lin his
annual report to the Department Of
Education, J. Virgil Chapman, State
Supervisor of Rural Schools, says
that while Kentucky has made rapid
strides of improvement In many ru-
raj school activities, the State has
been unusually tardy in the matters
of consolidation and transportation.
Seventy-nine schools have been con-
solidated and only II of these are fur
nishing free transportation. The
amount expended for transportation
for the year 1867 was $16,932.S6,
which is just trifle more than has
been expended in any other year.
Another evidence of healthy growth
toward a larger and more efficient
country schools Supervisor Chapman
says, is the fact that at present there
are 1904 schools in the rural districts
with two or more teachers. This is
all increase Of PIG over 1915.
Supervisor Chapman visited seven
ty-two counties during the year, trav-
cling distance of 1880 miles by
steam railways, 5000 miles by trac-
tion line, several hundred by automo-
bile and other conveyances and COIL
siderable distance on the surefooted
mountain mule.
Modern school plants, with proper
heating, lighting, ventilating and san
itation, with attractive surroundings
and enough room to play, to have a
school garden and some lessons in
practical agriculture, Supervisor
Chapman believes, will be a gigantic
stride toward better schools and a
better community life.

worsted and wrong will triumph.

or Kaiser Expected 10 De Given Soon
VIII Not Agree to More Than
Four or Five Of Wilson's
Peace Terms.

Washington, Ahusry 11-Germany
will not agree now to more than the
first four or five Of President Will
sons IA peace terms.
Authorities were convinced Of this
today in the light of preliminary Teu-
ton press comment on his speech to
Congress. But they doubted Germany
would dare to ignore the worlds chal-
lenge to state her aims.
Officials gathered real hope from
the Russian problem, however, In the
light Of United Press reports Of Trot-
sky's declaration that Russia will
fight on rather than accept an imper-
ialistic peeace.
While Russian war preparations
are not regarded as sufficient to make
marked military effect, they coul1
have the vital effect of stopping Ger
many from converting Russia into a
supply house.
This, with collapse Of the separate
peace movement, would stiffen allied
morale and put the German diplomats
in a serious predicament with the pee
pie at home.
The War Department is proceeding
on the theory that Germany proposes
to carry on spring and summer Of
fensive in the hone of reinforcing her
political position by important gains
on the west front.
While awaiting diplomatic develop
ments, the army and navy are Coop
Grating in fastening troop transports
as fully as possiblye, although there
is some prospect that Europe's need
for food will divert some troop trans.
ports for supply purposes for a while
General officers, however, insist
troops will continue to go just as fas,
as bottoms can be provided.
