WORTHLESS STOCKS?

'In settlement of a large estate a number of years ago, the executor found big blocks of cheap oil and min ing stocks which were disposed of at best prices obtainable. Among the certificates were 1000 shares of Tex as-Pacific Coal and Oil company. The executor was unable to find any, one who could give him sufficient in- formation on the stock, so he tucked it away in a pigeon hole in his desk. Recently the certificates were resur- rected and the executor made inquiry regarding their value, merely as a mater of curiosity. He was astonish- ed to find the stock was 1,6OO bid, making value of the shares, which had been hidden away for years, $1,6O0,- COO. The stock had not been market ed as yet, since to sell it now would mean that practically half the pro- ceeds would go for federal taxes.

ACTIVITY REPORTED
 AT MCCRACKEN MINE

The McCracken SilverLead com pany has acquired large part of the old McCracken holdings and is hard at work opening up new ground. Since the taking over of the Otsega and other claims of the McWright es- tate shaft has been sunk and drifts are now being carried off into the ore bodies. From the surface of this vein the company has shipped to the smell ter over 80 tons of ore that gave re- turns in excess of 70 per cent lead and some silver. This ore body will soon be entered from the bottom of the 100 foot shaft and virgin ground will be found between that point and the surface. The company will prob ably also reach the high grade silver ore that was found in that part of the vein some years ago, but which was only followed to the break in the vein. There is no doubt of it being there, all that is necessary to find it is in- telligent work. -.-.-i rr--,
 The company has also carried its tunnel on the outside vein for more than 1000 feet and expects soon tc be in the large ore badly found on the surface. With this ore body opened to depth of about 400 feet the two properties ought to be in the ship ping class and on large scale.
 The McCracken property is un doubtedly one of the largest lead-sil yer properties in the state. As WI have said many times heretofore, thu McCracken is duplicate of the Bun ker Hill and Sullivan properties O Idaho, and with proper expenditure O money ought to be among the larg, producers of the country. The ore are ideal, having no deleterious sub stances to buck in preparing them fo market. Large financing of the com pany would bring about wonderful success for this company and put i in the front line of producers.

The Living Wage
Not q Mari,nnm

Even if the great majority Of
workers were now in receipt of more
than living wages, there are no good reasons
why rates Of pay should be lowered. After
all, living wage is not necessarily the full
measure Of justice. All the Catholic authori-
ties on the subject explicitly declare that
this is only the minimum Of justice. In a
country as rich as ours, there are very few
cases in which it is possible to prove that the
worker would be getting more than that to
which he has right if he were paid some-
thing in excess of this ethical minimum.
The only persons who would benefit
considerably through general reduction Of
wages are the less efficient among the eapi-
talists, and the more comfortable sections Of
the consumers. The wage -earners would lose
more in remuneration than they would gain
from whatever fall in prices occurred as
direct result Of the fall in wages.
On grounds both Of justice and sound
economics, We should give our hearty sup
port to all legitimate efforts made BY labor
to resist general wage reductions"

Wages Should Be No Lower
(F,om the report on Social Recon,tyucfion: II Gen.
eral Reuie1U of the Problems and Survey of Remedies"
issued BY the National Catholic War CouneiD

"The general level of wages attained
during the war should not be lowered.
In, = few industries, especially some directly
and peculiarly connected with the carrying
on of war, wages have reached plane upon
which they cannot possibly continue for this
grade Of occupations.
But the number of workers in this situ-
alton is an extremely small proportion Of
the entire wage-earning population. The
overwhelming majority should not be COM
PEELED or suffered to undergo any reduction
in their rates Of remuneration, for two rea-
sons: First, because the average rate ofpay
has not increased faster :han the cost Of liv-
ing; second, because considerable majority
Of the wage-earners Of the United States,
both men and women, were not receiving
living wages when prices began to rise in 1915.
