COLORADO MINE PRODUCTION.
Will Show Considerable Increase for 1919
Over That of 1918.

During the year 1918 mines in Colo
RADIO produced Sl2,S05,000 in gold, g..
100000 ounces of silver, 66,000,0 900
pounds Of lead, 100000 pounds Of cop.

cording to statistics compiled by the
United States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior. The statistics for
1919 will show considerable decrease
in the output OF all metals in the state.
The production OF gold alone will de-
crease at least S2,000,000. If production
il continued at the rate maintained for
the last five months of 1919 the mines
of Cripple creek, which produced $s,-
10000 in 1918, will produce 81 SOC, 900
less in 1919. The Telluride district.
which for several yeare has been the
most persistent producing district in Col
orado, will probably not equal its out
put Of 1918, for the prevalence Of in.
f1uenza and lack of electric power re.
duced the output considerably during
the winter and spring. The recent re-
sumption of work at the Humboldt mines
will help to maintain the output of sill
yer. The closing Of the Smuggler mine
and the idleness of the Wasatch mill, at
Silver Plume, will mean a greatly re-
duced output Of silver, lead, and zinc
from Clear Creek county. Though de-
velopmeut work AMI production in Gil
pin county have been resumed the clos
ing of the Argo mill, at Idaho Springs
and of the associated Fremont mine will
cause decrease in the production Of
gold which can be offset only by in.
creased production at several mines. The
closing of the Iron Silver Mining Co.'S
mines and the Greenback. mine and the
abandonment of the Western Mining
Co.'s operations, all at LeadviIle, means
a greatly reduced output of silver and
zinc from the Leadville district. The
cancellation of contracts for manganese
to be supplied from this district has
resulted in the suspension of the ship.

Glenn f. Plumb, author of the Plumb
plan for control of the roads, declared
yesterday before the House interstate

In resuming his testimony Mr.. Plumb
was asked by Representative Sweet, Re
publican, Iowa, why, if the government
was to own the roads, his plan did not
give it authority to operate.
Because we do not believe in opera

witness replied, Eve do not believe this

Henry Ford. who is suing the Chicago
Daily Tribune for 81 100000 damages on

leave the world better and happier

who, when his country was at war, de-
voted every energy and every resource

SUBSTITUTE FOR
PLATINUM In WAR

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. ii.--Ofn-
ciais Of the War Industries Board have
announced the discovery Of a substi-
tute for platinum. The substitute was
used successfully by the Government
In the manufactrss Of high explosives
for the last two months OF the war.
The formula was discovered by chem
lists OF the Mellon Institute, OF Pitts
burgh, working under the direction OF
Charles II. Mcdowell, chief CT the
Chemical Division Of the War Indus
tries Board, and Or. E. R. Weidlein-.
Platinum formerly was absolutely es-
sential 10 the manufacture OF sulphuric
acid in commercial quantities and sui
phuric acid was absolutely essential TO
the manufacture OF high explosives
for war purposes. When the war cut
of the supply from Russia, the worlds
principal source Of the metal, the price
OF platinum arose. to Si05 an ounce,
and the Government prohibited its use
in the manufacture Of jewelry. With
the end OF the war, Platinum again
has become widely used In fashionable
iewelry and has remained at the high
price which the war established.
After the discovery Of the substitute,
a small Government plan was establish
ed which turned out 100 pounds OF
sulphuric acid a day and later a i've
ton a day plant was started. The new
substance is said in some respects to
be better than platinum for manufac-
turing sulphuric acid, and its cost Is
about one-third that OF the metal.

Following closely in its wake VIII come
the meeting OF the national association

operating.
THE new international Is meeting
ostenslbly In its annual schedule gab-
fest, but questions OF territory and
policy are likely TO make Dave Fultz,
new president, feel at home in q turbu-
lent atmosphere. Montreal snd Provi-
dence. which deserted the new lnterna-
tional last year, are again feeling the
call and will try 10 make their way
back into the old league. The stand the
new international will take in the open
war on the powers Of the game has
been thoroughly discussed.
BY far the most important question
troubling the minds Of all concerned is
the radical revolutionists will
be able 10 force Ban Johnson and the
other conservatives into a line for a
change in the administration OF base
ball. ..
The minors through Joe Tinker, presl-
dent-nnanager Of the Columbus Ameri-
can Association club, have thrown an
ultimatum couched in strong language
declaring there is not a chance that
they will stand for anything but a
change in the national agreement that

stand fast by their guns. even going so
far as TO abrogate the national agree
ment unless their wishes are agreed

threats, before and the national agree
ment goes on. Unless they follow their
