Neglectful Attitude Not in
Keeping With Importance Of
Industry to State, Says
Newspaper Man.
By GUY FLENNER.

The mining industry Ii officially
classified az among the most impor-
tant In this state. The output of
wealth, the payrolls. the markets II

am not a miner nor q mine owner
nor interested in any mining company,
My convictions on the subject are
based on observations as a newspaper
man as to the scope of the industry
and the influence 1t has upon the ag-
riculture and commerce OF the state
and as to the Indifference with which
1t is viewed, not only by the rank and
file, but by too many leaders in our
Industrial activities.
One falters in expressing a reason
for this condition. Mining Is quite
4 legitimate business Bradstreet's
says there has been only 80 per cent
failures in mining as compared with
q considerably larger percentage OF
failures in manufacturing, mercantile
undertakings and cther lines. Unless
we can get on without precious and
other metals, 1t must be admitted the
industry performs a real function. It's
legitimacy and it's necessity are,
therefore, attested officially and com
mercially-in the records.
WHY IGNORED.
Why do we find a tendency to ig-
more this industry? What commercial

Agriculture has been properly called

Mining may be designated the heart,

How Needles Are Made.

1t vas not until after 1885 that
needles were entirely made and finish

process of making needles may be
described as follows: The first opera

eight-foot lengths; this Is done by
winding it into a coil Of sixteen feet
circumference and then cutting this

As Pleasure Yacht
ssJohn F. Hylan'' Is
Good SeagoingT Tug
Police Boat, With Officials
and white Wings Band,
Starts Home First, Lands
Last; Upton Entertained

The police boat John F. Hylan proved
herself to be first class seagoing tug
yesterday, despite the efforts Of Com
modore Grover A. Whalen, Of the De-
partnent Of Plant and Structures, to
turn her into a pleasure craft on a
second cruise to the yacht races. She
was one Of the last Of the gala feet
that went down the bay to reach her
home berth last night.
In the course Of its wanderings the
John F. Hylan brought up alongside
the Victoria, Sir Thomas Lipton's
excursion feet The street cleaners
band on the tug inflicted itself on Sir
Thomas with surprising effect. He
seemed to like the music.
The band repeated it's repertoire of
Irish airs, each one of which the
knighted yachtsman personally ap-
plauded, doffing his cap after those
he liked most. Sir Thomas turned to
Commodore Aemilius Jarvis, the fam
Gus Canadian yachtsman, who stood
beside him on the bridge of the Vic
toria, and the commodore Immediately
turned his megaphone toward the
to play some of the Harrigan songs,
and Rings on Her Fingers and Bells
son Her Toes" The band accommo
dated with "The Sidewalks of New
York." "Sweet Rosie O'Grady" and sew
eral other old timers Of the Harrigan
brand. After an impromptu rehearsal
the band did the best it could with the
"Rings on Her Fingers" song.
There was some discussion aboard
the municipal boat as to whether the
band should play "God Save the King"
The members of the organization fin
ally decided not to play it.
Captain James W. Hallock, of the
old police boat Patrol, was at the wheel
of the Hylan. He "allowed" that the
new police boat could make as much as
fifteen or sixteen miles an hour, pro-
vided the wind was in the right direc-
tion. There wasn't any wind in any
direction, and that probably accounted
for the slow time coming back. The
Hylan started on the return trip some
time before the rest of the fleet, and
arrived at the Battery some time af-
terward.
