MINING COSTS
TEND To BAR
LOW GRADE ORE

JEROME, Ariz, Jan. 4.-The cost of
mining and treating a ton of ore in
Arizona ranges at the present time
from 1915 to $55. The lower figure
is that of the better equipped pro-
ducers, owing their own reduction
plants and having the maximum in
transportation, power and other serv-
ices. The smaller producers of ore,
leasers and small operators, range
from SIS to the top figure, and some
of them would probably go over the
latter if they got in all of their time
and incidentals. In these costs no
tax is figured.
With such costs figures it is read
lily apparently that high grade ores
must be handled. The $55 figure will
allow of the treatment of nothing
much short of 25 per cent That is
bonanza material and is around only
in hatful quantities as rule in the
best of mines. The average small
operator or leaser can gather enough
of it as a rule to pull his average
shipment to around Is per cent, but
it is straining point for most of them
to do this, and with less he cannot
get by. The largest producers are re-
quiring an average of better than 8
per cent with which to get by, not
withstanding their possession of all
the facilities requisite to the making
of cheap copper,
With a somewhat higher metal mar
ket both the large and small produc-
ers could and would increase their
output of ore and metal. The small
producer could do so because he would
be enabled to handle more Of the ma
terial he takes out, shipping it instead
Of putting it on the dump to await the
coming of metal price that will en-
able him to ship it to smelter. Pre-
cisely the same reason prevails with
the large shipper, plus the fact that
with higher market he would have
so much more opened ground in which
he could work an increased number
of men. All the big mines in the state
have this opened ground from which
they are excluded by the present
price of metal, because the ore it con-
tains is of too low grade to stand min
ing and treatment on 231a cent mar
ket. It is true that in some mines in
the state hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been expended in the
last two years with openings into
their former leaner grounds as the
market has advanced to higher levels,
the lean ground being closed as the
metal price receded. 1t costs great
deal of money to return to ground Of
this character from time to time, but
if the operators were assured of a
price that would justify the mining of
the ore over any given period, they
would get into it again with all speed
and with the increased working forces
that would be justified

PASSING OF THE. ''CLINC|NC VINE"

I have always pitied the man whose womanly ideals are of the "Clinging- Vine" type. He is out of harmony with universal law. His instincts have been perverted. Helplessness in a child appeals to all that is noblest in our natures. The love of mother and father goes out more strongly to the weaker offspring. This is a natural instinct implanted in the human heart no doubt for the definite purpose of protecting the young during their pe- riod of helplessness.
 But when a man seeks frailty and helplessness in his life partner it is an evidence that the parental instinct has been perverted.
 In past generations our novels reek- ed-I use the word advisedly-with a frail delicate type of heroine, The hero's rcart swAlled i! masterful way at the thought of protecting such frail creature throughout life. Shielding such an ethereal being from all difficulties and discomforts ap- peared to him an extraordinary priv
  guor of his heroine only added to her charm. They were anQther indication of her need for the support of his strong arms. Up to very recent times practically all our literature was taint- ed with this sort of rot, and its influ- ence demoralized many generations of men and women.
 have frequently, in years gone by, picked up a book that deeply inter- ested me until I read the description of the heroine. and then would throw it aside in disgust. The idea of mis- erable makeshift of a girl, tall and willowy, with waist that could be easily spanned by the hands, being a flesh and blood specimen of femininity Of any importance was ridiculous to me. They were invalids in disguise. lhese heroines. The very first diffi- culties they encountered would make them helpless and hopeless. They were the product in every instance of too much coddling. Their girlhood days were spent in dreamy likeness. They were strangers to vigorous effort of any sort. They missed the oppor- tunity to develop into real women through the proper use of their bodily structure.
 Not so long ago. the eonventiinal method of training girls for the mar riage market was along similar line. The arts of fascination were cultivat- ed with a view to catching a prize. Little or no thought was given to the necessity of keeping this prize after

TY COBB TELLS
 OF PLACE HITTING

If there is any secret in place hit ting, it is located in the ability of the batter in keeping his eye on the ball from the time 1t has left the pitchers hand until it is almost to the plate.
 This is the opinion of Ty Cobb, who coDaes as close to real place hitting as anyone in baseball.
 But Cobb admits that it is impossi- ble to place hits with any great de- gree of accuracy.
 Tt might be-" the Peach admits, Eff every ball delivered by the pitch CT cut the plate at a certain pre-de- termined spot. In fact, when batter gets one in his 'groove'' he is able to place it with pretty fair accuracy. & "But the wise pitcher is keeping the batter guessing-throwing him off his balanoe-keeping him from get ing toe hold. -.-
 Now, Willie Keeler, "the Pride of Georgia continued, perhaps was the best of the so-called place hitters. Keeler combined several things to make this possible. He gripped his bat far down toward the middle and poked at the ball rather than hit at 1t. His swing was short and natural ly more accurate than the longer swings of the average batter. He was able to wait until the ball was almost upon him before poking at it. Many of Keelers hits were pokey lit- tie flies, just past the infeld. The delayed swing made 1t difficult fol any pitcher to outguess Keeler. His record of going through a seasor without striking out is evidence ot this.
 ''The angle at which the bat meet: the ball is the determining factor 1T the balls ultimate direction. If tht ball is met squarely in the middle O the swing it will go to center fielt varying a trifie to the right or left, ac cording to whether the batter is righ or left handed.
 'The left-handed batter hits natur ally to right field. The right-handet batter hits naturally to left field.
 If the batter meets the ball bacl of his body, the angle at which tn ball Is met will send 1t into opposit fields"

 The report of Robert T. Bradley, postmaster, who is, in charge of the sale of War Savings Stamps in New town, that Newtown had fallen below it's quota as given by State Manager Cheney, is a disagreeable surprise to the public. Particularly is this so as the townspeople oversubscribed for all the issues of Liberty bonds, and the sale of the Thrift Stamps has been up to requirements. The New town Savings bank which was the principal push in the sales of the larger investments and instalment thrift books, find few delinquents among those who subscribed and signed the pledges for their purchases for the financing of. the war. Some plan should be devised at once to put Newtown in the van in all our war work.
 Mrs. J. L. Mclaughlin, Miss Anna Smith, Mrs. Adella Irwin, Miss Louise Bigelo, Mrs. Mary D. Corbett, Mrs W. B. Glover and Miss Aimee Frost represented Newtown at the regular monthly Suffragist convention, Fair field county, which was held in Ridge field Thursday. The morning session was held in the Congrega tionaI parish house, and after luncheon these rep resentatives of Equal Franchise met for the afternoon session at the home of Miss Olcott. About 80 attended the meeting on the spacious lawns of the Italian gardens in the rear where ways and means were discussed and plans for an active campaign evolved but no detailed report of the pro- ceedings was furnished for publica- ton.
 Austin E. Hurd, employed in gov ernment work in the Hog Island ship yards, who visited his mother, Mrs. Mary Hurd, returned this week to his duties.
 MT. and Mrs. James F. Brennan and son of New Haven have taken pos session of their summer home at the Newtown station.
 All the farmers in town, now in the having season, report a light crop, and the grass overripe, due to the cold breezes of the last few weeks drying the roots of the grass and preventing heavy topping, and growth of bot tom grass About 70 per cent of nor nal crop is what the consensus of farmers expectations indicates. There was generous rain Thursday aftar- noon and evening which came just in time for the setting potatoes and tho drooing corn plants, which served to- day in banishing some pessirlistic looks from faces of our farmers.

 Death Houses.
 In these death-houses a. long tor ment awaits them: mean food that dogs would refuse, only just enough that they may not die too quickly; crushing -lsbor, which even the sick est are compelled under blows to seek to accomplish; miserable rags which hardly cover them against the sever est cold; corporal punishments which no French imagination could ever have conceived, among others hang ing by the feet until the death rattle sets in. And finally the planful spreading of consumption. bedding upon dung cots def1led by the spu- tum of consumptives. All these means are useful in the hands of the bar barians for annihiIating or at least physically degrading this race which was once so healthy and strong.
 5000 Found Dead in One Pile.
 In 1916, when typhoid fever be- came prevalent in one of these la mentable prison camps instead of succor being brought, the huts were ordered closed. When, however, 1t was decided to reopen them, about 5000 dead bodies were found piled up pell-melE. Then, still to cover the crime, they were thrown in heaps into immense common ditches. The ground was levelled over them and a little orthodox chapel erected, bearing this inscription, hypocritical and inn pudently lying, like everything that comes from Germany: Serbian | soldiers who died from their wounds received in the Austro- Hungarian | Serbian war provoked CD by Ser bia."
 Today distress is at its highest there, and mortality as a result of misery is becoming so frightful that | It seems that the race is on the way | to extinction. The Serbian Red | Cross is sending forth such a heart rending appeal, that desire ever SC much to contribute a little to give ii | circulation!

 Alas! The Red Cross is obliged, ir these unhappy heroic days it is oblig- ed, to ask of everyone, to accept from everyone, clothes, linen, shoes for mer and children, even used ones, of vic tuals, of conserves, and of bed ding.
 o give, give to save the remnants of this valiant little people which has now, become everyone's brother.
