DO MORE WALKING IN WINTER
Cold Weather the Best Time for Exer-
else That Is Beneficial TO the
Indoor Worker.

Winter weather diminishcs greatly
the time spent in the open air by
those who ride in automobiles. 1t
comes near putting bicycles out Of
use. From steamboats, to canoes,
there is almost entire cessation Of
water outings.
All Of which means that more
walking instead of less ought to be
done in cold weather. There is no
other way Of moving about in the
open air which keeps a healthy hui
man beings feet so warm and brings
such a glow Of warmth from the
body itself. If the pedestrian is prop
erly clad, especially in respect to
keeping dryshod, all of the effects Of
winter walking should be beneficial.
With a little care and discretion
such exercise can be made as. agree
able as it is wholesome. Usually
there is no dust. Often the tempcra,
iture is neither too low for comfort
nor too high for vigorous exercise
without weariness or lassitude
Rightly timed and kept within
bounds, winter walking Is a good pre-
caution against the i'll effects Of se-
,dentary life aud too much indoor air.

MINES OF WASHINGTON
INCREASE PRODUCTION
OUTPUT OF LEAD MAKES SUBJ
STANTiAL ADvANcE-GoLD,
SILVER, COPPER. ZINC.

The value of the gold, silver, copper
1917, according to the estimate OF
c. N. Gerry, of the United States geo.
logical survey, department of the in
terror, was about s2,23S,000, an in.
crease of per cent over the value
in 1916. There was decrease in the
production of godl, silver, copper and
zinc, but an increase In that of lead.
This increase and the higher prices
Of metals in 1917 gave the output a
value slightly above that Of 1915 which
was $2,04S,350. Strikes at the Cana
dian shelters at different times dur
ing the year caused curtailment of
shipments from Washington, especial
ly from the Republic and Chewelah
districts. The plant at Trail, b. c.,
which owns and operates several
mines at Republic, was idle in Dec
ember. The Northport Smelling &
Refining company. however, operated
a lead plant throughout the year and
received much of the siiceous ore
from Republic.
Gold.
The mine production of gold de-
creased from $577,655 in 1915 to about
$4S6,000 in 1917 The Boundary REQ
Mountain mine in Whatcom county,
was among the principal gold pro-
ducers. The production of the Repub-
lie district, the main gold producer of
the state, was seriously affected not
only by strikes, which closed the
mines, but by labor troubles at the
smelters The output of the district,
which was 45,313 tons in 1916, was
reduced to about $4,000 tons in 1917.
The Lone Pine Surprise Pearl prop
erty was in 1917, as formerly the
main shipper. The Knob Hill was
next, and the Tom Thumb, Quip,
Hope and San Poll were large contri-
butors. Several properties in the
district are being efficiently developed
new shaft was sunk at the Knob
Hill mine, and further depth was
gained at the Last Chance and the
Lone Pine properties.
The mine output of silver decreased
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-01-17

to about $4,000 ounces, or over %
per cent. The value OF the output was
about $20S,00o. Most of this silver
came from copper ore mined in the
Chewelah district, and large part OF
the remainder from siliceous ores min
ed in the Republic district The ore
output Of both districts was less than
in 1916.
Copper.
| The copper output decreased to
about 100000 pounds. valued at s607,-
900. The output of copper ore and
concentrates would have been much
greater If the smelters had been able
to receive the ore. At the United
Copper mine, sinking was in progress
below the 1,o00-foot level. Several
dividends We're paid during the year.
The shipments OF crude ore and con-
centrates averaged nearly 900 tons a
month. The Sunset mine made ship
ments of copper ore during the first
half of the year and some ore was
shipped from the Loon Lake Copper
property, in Stevens county. In May
Ia shortage of coke prevented further
shipments to the smelter at Trail
Several shipments of copper ore were
made from the High Grade property
at Turk in southwestern Stevens coun-
ty.
Lead.
The lead output increased to over
100000 pounds, valued at about 1924
900, representing an increase of near
|ly 100000 pounds in quantity and
$450,0OO in value. The product came
largely from carbonate and sulphide
ores mined at the Electric Point prop
erty in the Northport district, Stevens
county, which was profitably operated
during the year. Other properties in
the district having first class or mil
ling lead ore are the Gladstone, Min
eral Belt, Providence and Iroquois. A
few shipments We're also made from
the Bonanza mine, in the Bossburg
district, Stevens county.
Zinc.
There was a marked decrease in the
zinc output in 1917, for the Great
Western and Last Chance properties
ceased operations in 1916. The ore
shipped from the Lead Zinc property
at Metaline Falls, however. produced
more than million pounds of spelter
Part Of the ore was shipped to eastern
zinc shelters and part was treated in
the electrolytic plant at Trail, B. C.
Dividends.

mines for eleven months of 1917

Naturally much depends upon the

The correct policy for the brother

The possibilities for economy in the

they seem too good to be true. nor

uAu Ahiiih6
At noon, December %, the govern
ment assumed operation of all the
railways of the United States by proc.
lamation of the president, who ap.
pointed William Gibbs McAdoo, sec.
rotary OF the treasury, to be director
general. The railways are to be guar
anteed the same net earnings as the
average for 1914-16, their obligations
are to be met and their financial needs
are to be supplied. A part of this pro-
gram requires legislation by congress
which will defer to the presidents en-
gagements and wishes it is expected,
and there remain details to be worked
out, respecting which nobody is alarm
ed, for there Is a general recognition
OF the presidents attitude of fairness
toward all parties including the rail-
way stockholders and bondholders. In
effect the government guarantees bond
interest and dividends on stocks dur
ing the period of the war, and thus is
removed the great fear of investors
between an upper and neither mill
stone.
There is a general feeling that the
government having taken this step,
there will never be any return to the
old system of individual, competitive
operation Whether the result will
be government ownership or something
less than that remains for time to tell
What we may now recognize is simply
that our old railway system is pas
sing, just as passed the turnpike sys~
tenn of former time The funda-
mental reason is similar The public
Will not consent to private control of
Its means of transportation.
The unitication and coordination of
the railways should theoretically re-
suit in an enormous economy. This
was foreseen by railway operators as
early as 20 years ago. They took |
steps in that direction, but were
promptly checked by public opposition, |
which expressed itself in restrictive I
legislation and executive impediments
Then began the crushing of the rail- /
ways between popular opinion on the
one hand and the demands of union I
lied labor on the other hand The \
people have now got what they want Il
ed, or thought they did, and at the
same time the government has recog- |,
nized that the theory of the railway /,
operators was right. Perhaps II was ,
never denied that it was right The
point was rather whether the rail- 6
ways were to get the benefit of the 9
saving, or the people. The people Z,
think that they are going to get it. /
and during war time it may be so. e
nay, probably will be so, for the rail- c
ways are going to be run by their old I
operators, and. still free from the t
blight of politics, they will be able to d
fleet the immense economies that G.
hey themselves foresaw. OF course. Il
he Improvement is not to exhibit it ii
elf overnight. The job of reorgan,z. T

OREGON METAL OUTPUT
SHOWS DECLINE N 1917
BELOW 1916 RECORDING
NEW DISCOVERIES.

preliminary estimate of the pro-
duction of metals from Oregon mines
in 1917, compiled by Charles G. Yale,
of the San Francisco Office of the
United States geological survey, shows
la material decrease from that of
1916. The output of gold in 1916
was $1,9O2,149, and the estimated out
put in 1917 is $1,466.419, a decrease Of
$435, 760. The output Of silver in
1915 was 231,342 ounces, valued at
I$152,223, and the estimated output in
1917 is 1857 ounces, a decrease Of
1855 ounces in quantity, and of
$5S,046 in value. The output of cop
per in 1916 was 3,5O1,SS pounds, va
lued at $SS1,144. and the estimated
output in 1917 is 1,5OS,639 pounds, val
ued at $410,349, decrease of 1,993,247
pounds in quantity, and of $470,795 in
value A small quantity of lead was
produced in 1916, but no production
Iof this metal has been reported for
1917.
No Important Discoveries.
There are about hundred pro-
ductive mines in oregon, and although
two-thirds of them are placer mines,
the larger part of the output of gold
comes from the deep mines, and, of
course virtually all the output of the
other metals. There were no import
ant discoveries in any of the mining
districts of Oregon in 1917, and no
great increase in the output of any
OF the more productive properties.
The entire output of ore from all the
deep mines combined does not ex-
coed 100000 tons. Most of the placer
mines are worked by the hydraulic
system, but the three dredges now in
use produce far more gold than all
the other placer operations combined.
The largest output of gold and other
metals in 1917, came, as usual. from
Baker county, which produces an
nually about 80 per cent of all the
gold mined in the state, Josephine
county is next in production.
