FORsEEs BIG DEMAND

One of the most encouraging COM
ments on the spelter situation comes
from a firm in London, Rudolph, Wolff
& Co. They say:
"There has been agOOd deal more
interest in this metal lately, and many
transactions have taken place. There
has been reawakening Of interest on
the part of the makers Of galvanized
iron. This is use that presents
enormous possibilities, Regarding
the future of the spelter market, 1t
is very difficult to formulate any
prognOstication, because there are 90
many contrary influences to be taken
into consideration. In the first place
the release Of stocks Of spelter by all
the allied governments now that ar
mlstice is signed, together with the
fact that the quotation in America is
very much below the price ruling here,
would point to the probability Of
pretty sharp fall in values on this
side; but going a little mere deeply
into the matter, we must recollect
that with the release Of stocks Ct
spelter destined for WEI uses tn, con-
sumption for peace purposes, above
all for Ralvanized thoesS, will eimul-
taneOusly revive. This industry that
has practically been suppressed fer
nearly four years, with tho lecway 10

we anticipate that the production Of

ROPER WILL GET $6,1l5
Arbitrator Recommends This Award
For Injuries

Jesse Roper, carpenter Ct Che
topa, who was crippled in q shaft
cave-in last April in Karl Hammers
mine at Treece, is going to receive
suitable compensation for his injuries,
according to an arbitrators report
filed in the district court yesterday,
which only awaits confirmation by
Judge Dunbar to 90 into effect.
Attorney l. N. Kuhn filed suit for
Roper some time ago, and on Ncv.
goth the court appointed A. L. Majors
as arbitrator to ascertain III, facts,
and make a finding. The hearing on
this matter came up December 18th,
and on the basis Of the evidence, the
arbitrator decided that Roper was
fairly and justly entitled to receive
$6,115 in lump sum, as compensa-
ton for his injuries and permanent
disability. This is in addition to
$255, which was paid by Hammer,
through a Casualty Insurance Co.,
for hospital and doctor bills.
Roper had only worked day or
two in the mine, when a shaft caved
in on him without warning, following
a heavy shot fired, He was crushed
about the hips, and his thigh broken
off in such a manner that doctors
expressed the opinion it could never
be mended, except possibly by chisel-
ing off the bones, and mailing them
together, a process very liable to
cause infection and death.
Roper was q married man, with
four children. But since his injury,
his wife has died, leaving him with
the responsibility of the family.
By the adjustment secured by his
attorney, however, the prospects for
his future looks better for Mr.. Roper.

DRY AT LAST

The big water fight at the Broom
corn Mine on the State line has been
won and the sinkers are rs feet deep
or than they were when the extra
pumps were put in a few weeks ago.
In q few weeks the shaft will be down
% the 270 foot level where the richest
deposits are supposed to be.
Fer two years the owners Of the
Broomcorn, the Commerce Royalty
Company, have been fighting water at
The Drocmcorn. They have spent for
unes in the battle and have dewater-
I'd several neighboring properties but
they have not wavered for a minute
and will soon be reaping the reward
of their labOrs.
All about the Broomcorn, the prop
critics are exceptionally rich and it is
believed that it will be one Of the best.
The men working in the ground have
been n the water from two to three
feet deep for months and hope that
about three rounds Of shots will put
them in stuff that will warrant their
drifting out and getting matters in a
shape that they may mine in the dry.

NEW DISCOVERY
ABOUT ZINC ORE
Operators Throughout the District
Can Be Independent of Smelt-
ermen, Says Mining
Exchange

Miami, Okla, dan. A. Especially -
Chemists employed by the Oklahoma
Ore Storage Association have brought
to light the fact that ores Of the Mis-
souri, Kansas o Oklahoma mining dis
trict do not have to be smelted, as
they are now done. It is held by the
chemists that the ore is a natural cleo
trolyte, needing nothing but the ad-
dition of some sulphuric acid to make
perfect bath.
This is a remarkable discovery be-
cause of the fact that operators
throughout the district can be indie
pendent of the smelters when the
tests have been carried to a SUCCESS
full conclusion and the sulphuric baths
are in operation. It means much in
this way: The operators and produe-
ers of the raw material need not wOr-
~ in the future as to q market for
ore or need they worry about how
much ore the smelters have on hand.
One Of the things which favor the
proposition is that Tn-State ore Is
far superior to any ore on the worlds
markets today. This viii not sem

membered that ore from this district
is fully so per cent zinc and free from
all lead, while the closest ore, Aus
tralian, will not run better than 80
per cent with a large percentage Of
lead.
1t is a well known fact that the dis
covery of the assayers will have .
bearing on the market so far Is gal
vanizing is concerned. Most Of the
ore mined in the Tri-State district is
used for this purpose and the cost Of
smelling is great, thereby reducing
the profits of all parties concerned.
With the bath process the galvanizing
industry will be enabled to take .
new lease on life and IN this manner
open up more markets for the pro-
duct.

A special committee of the Ameri-
can Bar association, which has been
making an investigation of the sub
ject of judicial recall and its relation
to the socialist movement in this
country. has submitted a report to the
organization which will direct pub
lie attention to the progress of radi-
calism.
The eminent lawyers who compose
this committee have studied their
subject thoroughly and have become
impressed with the national danger
which impends. Their report says:
Socialism feeds and fattens upon
the disorganizations, famine and un-
rest necessarily following war condi-
tions. The destructive doctrines of
socialism were never more widely ad-
vocated than at the present time and
there was never so much danger as
now that its converts might become
for time at least a ma ajority of the
voters in many states and communi-
ties or even in the nation as a whole. 4"
The report further declares that
the judicial recall, which has been
adopted by several of the states. is n
measure of socialism. the object of
which is "thc destruction of the Judi
ciary and thereby a step to the elm
1nation OF the safeguards vouchsafed
by constitutional limitations upon the
legislative powers of government"
The warning contained in this re-
port will not pass unheeded, but will
tend to arouse the stanch citizenry of
America to the necessity of fighting
the sinister influences with every
weapon in their power. The loyal and
patriotic people of this nation must
be alert and on guard.
