Unlimited Supply.

In this table rock salt is represented
by 100000 TONS an increase of II
per cent over 1916; evaporated salt by
z, 452,O00 tons, practically the same as
in the previous year; and salt in brine
by 2,SS4,000 tons, an increase of 13 per
cent The large increase in the pro-
duction of rock salt and brine was
due mostly to an increase in the de-
mand for salt required in the manu-
facture of chemicals.
So far as the raw material is con-
cerned, this country is blessed with a
practically unlimited supply of salt.
From the rock salt mines and brine
wells of New York to the solar evap-
Grafton plants that get salt from sea
water on San Francisco bay, from the
abundance in Michigan to the super
abundance in Louisiana and Texas,
where rocks salt occurs in deposits
1000 to 5000 feet thick, there is salt in
quantities beyond comprehension. So
long as labor and fuel are plentiful
and cars are furnished to transport
the product the salt producers of the
United States can supply all of our
needs.

MISSED HOLE.
M ner Must Use Ordinary Precautions
to Protect Himself.

Where a miner offered his services
to mining company and assisted in
blasting operations. the company was
entitled to assume that he had the ex-
perience and skill usually possessed by
employees of his class and, in the alb
sence of information that he was mex
perienced, the company cannot be
deemed to have been negligent in fail
ing to warn him against dangers com
monty understood by miners. So held
the Utah supreme court in the recent
case of Olsen VS.. Triangle Mining
company; 167 Pacific reporter, S13, in
which plaintiff was denied the right to
recover for injury caused by his strik-
ing missed hole in picking rock down.
The court finds that the explosion re-
suited from plaintiffs failure to take
precaution for his own safety, by eX-
aiming the places where he knew
charges had been placed, to be sure
that there was no missed hole, that is
ordinarily taken by miners

In the Old Days.
Saturday Evening Post.)

Lord Northcliffe at a Washington
luncheon was talking about the British
premier.
'Mr. Lloyd George is the idol of the
nation now" he said. TT is hard to
believe how unpopular he was, at least
among the unionists, once. Among
the many stories circulated about Mr..
Lloyd Georges unpopularity at that
time there was one which concerned
a rescue from drowning. The heroic
rescuer, when gold medal was pre-
scented to him for his brave deed, mod
estly declared:
az don't deserve this medal l did
nothing but my duty. I saw our friend
here struggling in the water. ! knew
he must drown unless someone saved
him. So l plunged in, swan to him,
turned him over to make sure it
wasn't Lloyd George and then lugged
him to safety on my back"

METAL EXPORTS IN 1877
COPPER, LEAD AND ZINC
COPPER AND SPELTER lNCREAS-
ED, BUT LEAD SHOWED A
LARGE DECREASE.

Refined copper to the amount of L.
O29,6S3,943 pounds was exported from
the United States in 1917, against 49,
616,763 pounds in 1916 and 300,412,1S
pounds in 1915, according to the latest
figures of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. With the excep-
ton of Sweden and Russia in Asia,
the exports of copper increased to all
the principal countries to which ship
ments We're made. The most decided
increase is shown in exports to the
United Kingdom, which in 1917 took
372,766,73S pounds of our copper as
compared with 173,0O3,S75 pounds in
1916 and 70,90S,741 pounds in 1915.
Lead.
Lead exports in 1917 declined to
176,992,759 pounds. In 1916, 220,304,-
944 pounds was exported. In 1917,
however there was a decided increase
in the amount of export lead produc-
ed from foreign ores. The total for
that year was 64,514,449 pounds while
in 1916 the total exports produced
from foreign ore amounted to only
19,3051 1903 pounds. Increased amounts
of lead were sent during 1917 to Rus
STA in Europe, France, the United
Kingdom and Brazil, while exports to
Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Can
ada, Argentina, Japan and China de-
creased. Italy, which took only 672,-
5S5 pounds of American lead in 1916
received 3,652,7O pounds in 1917 The
Netherlands, which secured 6,32925S
pounds in 1916, received only 279262
pounds in 1917. Exports to Sweden in
1916 We're 6,132,466 pounds against
112,031 pounds in 1917.
SpeIter.
Spelter exports were greater in 1917
than in either 1916 or 1915. Total for
wardings to other countries in 1917
were 4O4, 562,152 pounds. AS in the
case of lead, there was a decided in
crease in the amount of spelter pro-
duced from foreign ores Exports of
zinc in 1917 made from foreign ores
were 127,777,499 pounds, comparing
with S6,457,195 pounds in 1916 and A.,
142,9S1 pounds in 1915. Exports in
creased to Italy, United Kingdom,
Canada, Asiatic Russia and Australia
Decreases were shown in the for
warnings to France, Norway, Russia
in Europe and to British South Afri-
ca.
Sulphuric Acid.
Sulphuric acid exports in 1917 fell
slightly below those of the year pre-
ceeding. The 1917 exports were 3d.
542,930 pounds, as compared with &c.
463,501 pounds in 1916. Sulphur to
the extent of 1888 tons was export
ed in 1917. The exports of the min
eral in 1915 were 12S,755 tons.

FARM WAGES ARE FIXED
BY COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
MAXIMUM MONTHLY RATE 500
HARVESTING So PER DAY
OF 10 HOURS.

A meeting was held at Gooding the
other day to consider the question of
farm wages, which was attended by
the labor committee of the Idaho state
council of defense, the Idaho state
farm bureau and the state farm mar
ket bureau. The scale, which was
unanimously adopted, is given below,
these figures being the maximum
wages that will be allowed, but no
minimum was fixed by the conven-
ton:
Wage Scale for Harvest Help.
1t is the earnest recommendation of
the state farm bureau that harvest
hands or extra help employed by the
day should not be paid more than 80
cents an hour or SO per day of 10
hours, with board, and that maxi
hands for every hour above that, with
the understanding that time will be
taken out for delays caused by storm
or acts of Providence. It is further
iSSoLiileh"Su tlbl 9I pei uftN hdui-
-tional be paid to such hands who
board themselves.
Monthly Wage Scale.
1t is the unanimous recommends
ton of the state farm bureau that for
general farm work, where hands are
employed by the month";, that $50 per
month, with board, be the maximum
wage to be paid during 1918. 1t is
further provided that married men
who board themselves, should be paid
$50 per month, with suitable housing
Wage Scale for Expert lrrieators.
For men especially engaged in irri-
eating it is recommended that these
be paid not to exceed $75 per month
and board.
Prices to Be Paid Potato Pickers.
Growers of potatoes are urged to
not pay more than cents a sack of
100 pounds for picking potatoes, said
price to include board. Where pick
ers board themselves it is recommend
ed that not more than cents sack
of 1870 pounds be paid.
Other Wage Scales.
Committees have been appointed to
consider the wage scale for machine
and engine men and for picking fruit
and harvesting sugar beets. Their re-
concentrations will be considered lat
er by the farm bureau.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
every effort be directed to the con-
tinual engagement of all itinerant and
idle labor throughout the year and
that every effort be directed to educate
public sentiment to that effect. 1t was
further recommended that the move
ment to close pool halls at least dur
ing the time when labor is the scare
est be endorsed.

COPPER AFTER THE WAR.
All Authorities Agree That the De-
nnand Will Be Great.

From 1864 to 1870 the reconstruction
period in the United States, foreign
demand for copper was Insignificant
Ii is thought likely that these condi-
tions will be in part reversed at the
termination of the present war Re-
an interval, but domestic industry is
believed to be firmly established on a
scale of enormous expansion, and only
chafes impatiently under the retarda-
ton due to war interruption.
A strong position has been acquired
by American copper in Asia and other
new fields.
Total actual net consumption by
France, England, Austria Hungary
and Italy increased from 496, 100000
pounds in 1889 to 1,23O,000,O00 in 1912
For the period indicated, increase in
European consumption was common
surate with that of the United States.
1t is further shown that production
had practically reached its limit the
annual outputs having increased neg
lightly in Is years.
Had peace continued and the in
crease for the last six years been
maintained at only the same rate as
that of the preceding II years ex-
ports in 1917 would have been 1,054,
100000 pounds, or only about 79,00O,-
600 pounds less than they were under
the stress of war.
In 1912 total exports were 775,00O,OO
pounds, and the shipments scarcely
more than covered the increase in
actual net consumption Of five Europ-
can countries for that year, as COM
pared with 1899.
Statistics support the prevailing be-
lief of authorities, that could the full
effect of freedom from the restraint
of price fixation be experienced sim
ultaneously with the elimination of
war consumption, the former would
prove to be the mightiest market
factor.

COMsTOCK COMES BACK

MANIA CROWD.

A Virginia City, New, correspond
ent says the discovery of the splendid
ore body on the 2300-foot level of the
Union Consolidated, and its improve
ment as depth is attained, has infused
new life into the Comstock and prom
ises to again bring an era of wonder
full production to the Virginia City
field. The water that for 80 years pre-
vented development Of the deep levels
has been lowered to beyond the 1900
foot point, where it is safely held by
three massive pumping stations, and
the old workings are again open to
mining for the first time in a genera
ton.
Union Con.
The great vein recently uncovered
on the 1900 level of Union Con. was
missed by about 80 feet by the Bonan-
"a crowd in 1880. On the 1900 it is de-
feet below the 2400 level it has been
opened for length of 1870 feet by
drifts, with drifting still in. progress
A heavy tonnage, assaying around $50
siderable ore has been opened that
assays $500 per ton Much specimen
ore Is in evidence. The second divi-
dend, derived from January earnings,
will be paid March l. at the rate of 5
cents per share. The management
believes sufficient ore is in sight to in
sure long period of dividends, with
the outlook encouraging for extra pro-
fits from time to time.
Sierra Nevada.
Drifting to the north is proceeding
from the foot level of the Sierra
Nevada, which has been equipped for
comprehensive work. The drift is ad-
vancing on good shoot, with indica-
tons favorable for the early develop
ment of a large tonnage of profitable
ore. In the Mexican work is proceed

Ore averaging SIS per ton is being
sent to the Mexican mill from the
Ophir mine, the product coming from
the 2100-foot level. Superintendent
Symmes is completing arrangements
for extensive work in Ophir ground,
devotng particular attention to the

TOBACCO SAVES FOOD.
And II Saves the Nerves Of the Boys
in the Trenches.

The use of tobacco by our troops in
the trenches plays no small part in the
conservation of food, say marine corps
officials at Washington, who estimate
that from 25 to 80 per cent of food
is saved daily in this manner
While authorities admit the detri-
mental influence of narcotics, they as
sert that tobacco relieves the nervous
tension of the soldiers who are under
continual shell fire
EARLY in the war;" declared a mar
inc officer, 1.-The French discovered that
men who smoke eat considerably less
food and only recently the British
food controller issued the statement:
The British troops in the trenches
must have tobacco or much more
food"
