Terminal Markets.
Are Recommended
State Commission Urges
Trockage Facilities to
Aid Food Distribution,

The use Of the city's public markets
for terminal market purposes would
facilitate food distribution. according
to the final section of the report ON
food made yesterday by the New York
state Reconstruction Commission t.
Governor Smith The report which is
signed by the commissions chairman.
Abraham ]. Elkus, and Thomas Patter-
son, chairman Of the Subcommittee on
food, urges the adoption of permanen. .
programme for terminal market devel-
opment by the city and state.
The report defines terminal markets
as a 'space devoted to the meeting Of
the seller and buyer, Wholesale as well
as retail, preferably a building con-
veniently located. directly connected
with transportation systems and pro
viding for the storage and distribu-
ton and display of foodstuffs'
The commissions specific recon-
mendatiOns are:
!. That the City OF New York utilize
the West Washington and Ganscvoort
New-York tribune., 1919-09-02
market sites in Manhattan ~ terminal

market sites in Manhattan ~ terminal
track and pier connection, platforms
and other facilities for the unloading
Of freight cars ard boats.
2. That the City of New York select
site Immediately and start construc-
tion of modern terminal market in
The Bronx, connected with all the rail
roads entering The Bronx and with the
docks at the Harlem River.
3. That the present Wallabout Mar
ket, in Brooklyn, be reconstructed for
terminal market purposes and deyel-
oped.
a. That the cooperation Of producers
and dealers in Richmond be secured for
establishing an open public market,
where produce grown on the island can
be sold at Wholesale.
5. That the necessity Of securing
cooperation of wholesale dealers, COM
mission men and jobbers, as we'll as
retailers, in any plans for the estab-
lishment or operation of terminal mar
ket structures be not overlookeA
The commission points out that in
Vulnerable committees have reported
favorably on terminal markets and
that politicians have made campaign
speeches on the SUBJ bject-but that moth
ing HstS Decu UONc.
According to the report, the present
facilities for receiving rail and water
shipments Of foodstuffs here "haye
grown up in u haphazard way without
much relation to the needs Of the
enormously increased population Of the
city ana the changing character of the
city itself" The commission marvels
that distribution has been possible un-
der present conditions. 1t calls the
Governors attention to previousm re-
ports which brought out that the cost
of transporting food from the JERSEY
shores to, the New York side is as
great as the cost of shipping food by
rail from Buffalo. Only 80 per cent Of
the food received here is carried on
the New York Central, coming in on
the New York side, while the remain
ing 70 per cent Of the food must be
transported across the Hudson on light
ers or car floats.
The congestion at West WASHINGTON
Market and its distance from many Of
the most populous sections Of the city
are deplored in the report The com
MISSION asserts that dealers and Job
bers prefer to buy at docks and other
places, wherc they pay a little more
but avoid congestion. Middlemen, who
would be eliminated by the establish
ment of terminal markets. often obtain
food IN this way, the report says.
Ihc commission believes that the
measures which it recommends would
provide a system of handling food
stutis Whereby handling and trucking,
and therefore waste, would be reduced.
perishablos would be saved by the cold
storage facilities, gluts and scarcites
avoided by better organization. traffic

day. The prices are from 20 to 80 per

that dealers in various sections of the

day commended the retailers Of the
city for their honesty and square deal

he said.
THAT makes me think that dealers
are playing fair with the public" he
said. There is every indication that
the meat prices are going lower, be-
cause the last fair price list contains
many quotations below those Of the
first list and dealers are abiding by the
lists. The trouble was that dealers
asked any price because they had no
standard to go by"
Mr. Williams pointed out the follow
ing as the objectives Of the Fair Price
Committees campaign:
l. 10 eliminate the hoarder and the
gouger. He said that he thought that
THIS has been accomplished through
the aid Of the public, the dealers and
the newspapers.
2. 70 get the women Of the city to
purchase with the same care exercised
by man in business. He said that he
hoped that buying by telephone would
practically r be eliminated in time.

tinue "buying in futures" This is a

that only minor portion of the COM

RICO INCREASES
 CAPITALIZATION

Thursday last the shareholders of the Rico Exploration company met at the offices of Carl G. Krook in King man and voted to increase the capital ization of the company from $100,OOO to $5OO,OO0.
 The Rico Exploration company has been operating it's properties above the c. o. D. mines the past year and has succeeded in developing. large tonnage of shipping ore as well as several thousand tons of mill stuff. The shaft is now being driven to the 300 level and other development has been mapped out. The company re- gently took over the property of John Lynch, lying between the Rico and the c. o. D. and this mine will be de- veloped along the same lines as the Rico. It is understood that the drift on the 300 level of the c. O. D. mine has entered the Half-Moon claim and that it may be possible to reach that territory through this drift, although the drifts from the Rico will eventual ly be carried out into the new ground.
 M. c. Cleveland is managing the operations of the company and has ob- tained good results from the money expended.

WALLAPA|EXPLORAT|ON AND DEVELOPMENT co.

J. H. Townsend and associates have taken over the old Rattlesnake mine. situated southwest of Chloride, and in the neighborhood of the Diana and Tuckahoe mines, and have organized the Wallapai Exploration and Devel- opment Go. to work this and other properties. The shaft of the Rattle snake mine is now down about 100 feet and considerable lateral work has been done on it that shows up ore that will run from $35 to $50 per ton in silver and gold. It is the inten- tion of the new corporation to sink the shaft to the 300 level and carry lateral work several hundred feet on the vein. The vein shows from six to eight feet of width and will turn out excellent milling stuff. MT. Townsend believes his company has picked winner and intends to force development work with all possible speed. The company has also taken over the Silver Dollar group, on the Blackberry dike, and will have opera tions under way there as soon as he returns from the coast. In the en-. terprise he has associated with him a number of prominent capitalits of the coast.

COPPER MARKET
 KEENLY WATCHED

Bisbee, August 2.-Copper miners and stockholders alik are watching with keen interest the copper market and the progress of the price of cop per, and are placing great confidence in the ability of the large operators tr handle the situation satisfactorily for them. The miner is interested, for to him it means higher wages, while the stockholder is interested in returns on his capital invested. From all indications it would seem that the interests of both are being amply pro. tected.
 The copper industry today is lead by four great interests, Anaconda, the Guggenheims, Phelps Dodge and Calu- met & Hecla, and this centralization has proven the bulwark of protection that has kept the mines open and pro- vided work for hundreds of thousands of miners and returned soldiers.
 John D. Ryan has many times prov en his ability as copper merchant. If his competitors wanted business at cut prices, they were welcome to it, and it usually turned out that when the up-swing came, and consumers were bidding furiously for copper, MT. Ryan was the man with copper to sell, the little fellow having sold out at lower prices. It would not be bad guess today that all of the above four are using this method.
 So long as the controlling interests above referred to are entrusted with the job of getting the market on an even keel, stockholders and miners have little to fear. Their interests are stockholders and producers, but the interests of the miners are the same, for the sliding scale of wages is but a method of sharing the pro- fits of higher prices,-higher prices mean higher wages.
 The placing of the copper market in balance is a big undertaking. on which men have "gone broke" many times, with less than the present day burden, Many months may elapse before the market is normal, but master hands are at the helm, and the miners know it,-thus their confidence.

TOM REED REPORTED
 INTO VEIN S3O ORE
Tom Reed--24--Mng

Tom Reed--24-Mng
 Unverified reports come from the Tom Reed that the new ore body found in the Bald Eagle ground has widened out to enormous proportions and is holding it's width as the heading is being extended on the vein. This is the shoot that was fodnd something ever two months ago and the drift has been carried in several hundred Z ct, and is said to have width of l5 feet and an average value of $30, If the values are correct it is one of the most important ore bodies evec found in the mine, as it indicates the wider naturalization of the property. Up to this time no important body of ere has been found in any of the proper ties below the Aztec and the driving toward the Telluride ground was car ried on for the purpose of exploring new territory.
 The mining editor has always had faith in the development of ore bodies in other parts of the Tom Reed es- tate, especially in the east end prop critics. The country in that locality is ideal for ore deposition and with the development of this massive ore body the possibilities of the Telluride and United American, as we'll as some of the other close in veins are enN hanced many fold. Further explora- tion of the new ore body will undoub- tedly be carried on, as practically all the faults along the vein have been plated and the picking up of this vein below any possible fault will now be a matter of but a short amount of crosscutting and drifting from the levels below. That the vein is virgin in the Tom Reed ground is now ad- mitted and that it has potentialities for ore production as great as the ore bodies of the Tom Reed and Ben liar rison is also granted. With this great ore body sending it's production to the mill the property is sure of big boom such as it never had before.
