show a decrease in quantity of "a per

per ton (. o. h. at mines or shipping
oints for all grades of fluorspar in
1919 was $2543, which is SL71 per
ton more than the average price re-
ceived in 1918 The average pri c
received in 1919 was higher than the
average quoted price during the year,
because a considerable quantity Of
gravel spar was sold in 1918 for de-
livery in 1919 at prices between $50
and $35 a ton. On the other hand,
the average price reported in 1918
was lower than the average price
quoted during that year. because a
considerable quantity Of gravel spar
was being delivered on old contracts
at prices between So and $40 ton.

HOW CAN INDUSTRIES LIvE9

Those who are responsible for the
management Of Industries have a choice
collection Of knotty problems to solve.
The American Federation of Labor
demands constantly increasing scale
OF wages.
The |. w. w. demand constantly
shorter hours and reduction OF produc-
tion by sabotage.
The Socialists demand that all en-
ployment be by the state and that prof
It's and wages be abolished.
The communists demand that the
workers own and manage the indus
tries without capitalists or bosses.
The Non-Partisan League demands
that the state take over and operate
all big business for the benefit OF far
mers
The politicians demand more offices
and increased taxes and lifelong jobs
at the expense Of the taxpayers.
The man at the cash counter end of
a payroll has TO stop and do some
thinking once In a while
Deming graphic., 1920-07-20

industry has direct bearing on the
production Of fluorspar, for the great
er part Of the gravel spar produced
is used in the manufacture Of basic
opcn-hcarth steel so that when that
industry becomes depressed the de
mand for fluorspar quickly diminishes.
The Outlook
The shipments Of fluorspar in 1920
will probably show substantial in
crease over those Of 1919, for many
operators have reported contracts
sufficient TO keep their mines busy
during most Of the year. The steel
industry alone will require between
10000 and $4,000 tons Of fluorspar
during 1920, il the rate Of production
VI open hearth steel during the first
three months is maintained through
out the year.
The producers Of fluorspar in the
West have recently been granted low
er freight rates to the East, which
according TO the Engineering AMI
Mining Journal, are as follows
Freight rates ON fluorspar, per ton
from New Mexico to New York terri
tory, $3.50; Pittsburg territory, $3.50;
Detroit Cincinnati territory, $3.50
Deming graphic., 1920-07-20

st. Louis territory, 500; Chicago ter
ritory, 500
These new freight rates, which
were put into effect about March 1,
have stimulated production, and
many mines that were forced to close
on account of the high freight rates
the decreased demand, and the low
prices offered have resumed opec-
ations.
one operator reports that he has
blocked out large quantity Of spar
ON his property near Deming, \. Mex,
and will erect a 50,ton mill there 20
clean it. Others are planning work on
properties north Of Separ station, 20

Attorney: What do you mean by

Dempsey: Well my terms with her

Attorney: Have you ever quarrelled

Dempsey: All the years we have been

Attorney: Your old woman states
that you swatted her on the jaw. Is
that correct?

The decrease in the fluorspar in
dustry in 1919 was generally expected,
because number Of steel manufac-
turers had ON hand rather large stocks
OF spar purchased during the war,
and, anticipating lower prices, they
curtailed their orders, so that many
mines were forced TO close. The min
ing and marketing OF fluorspar were
further checked by the closing down
Of steel plants in consequence Of the
steel and coal strikes.
Uses
Fluorspar is used in the manufac-
ture Of glass and of enameled and
sanitary ware. In the electroiytic re-
filming OF antimony and lead. in the
production of aluminium, in the manu-
facture Of hydrofluoric acid. and in
the iron and steel industries, where Il
serves as a flux in blast furnaces and
in basic open-hearth steel furnaces.

THE LEGEND OF THE KNEELING
tBy Walter Foote seller)


Came the explorer and soldier, seeking
the glitter OF gold;
Iiobbing and burning and killing. all In
the name Of the king;
Eyes agleam for the honors, men to
the conqueror bring.
After them came the fathers, close on
the steps they trOd,
Holding aloft the sign Of the Faith.
chanting the glory OF God:
Gentle were they and tender, healing
the wounds OF pain
Left by the sword and the firebrand
Of the pitiless hand OF Spain.
This is the tale as they tell ii; how by
the Aztec trail
They builded an indian mission, the
knights OF the Holy Grail
Here in the desert they labored, teach.
'"H hh' 'tuth liEDlt
Showing the ways OF another race to
the savage sons OF night.
fairest Of all the workers was Sister
Teresa, the nun,
Teaching the indian children; quickly
their hearts she won.
Soon through the desert country,
Where'er spread the missions fame,
Even the gurgling infants were trying
to lisp her name.
This is the tale as they tell IL; how
Diego the soldier came
Staggering into the courtyard, weary
and sore and lame,
Leagues had he crawled through the
desert, seeking a kindly hand,
The last Of all his comrades, dead IN
the new-found land
Through the long days OF sickness,
quietly there by his bed
Watched the Sister Theresa, cooling
his fevered head;
And while lie raved OF his tortures,
there through the length Of night,
Faithfully, kind and patient she
watched for the coming of light.
This is the tale as they tell 1t how Dl-
ego's eyes grew clear,
And cleaned anew with n shining light
when the sister nurse was near.
Hours they would talk together, he
with his stories OF strife;
Strange to her quiet secusion, these
tales of struggle Of life.
SO did their hearts grow fonder til
ever she bore in mind
The name of Diego the soldier, and
love to her vows was blind;
Till at last in his arms they found her,
her eyes like stars above
Shining into the depths of her lover,
breathing the life Of love.
This is the tale as they tell it; how on
that fatal day
Stripped Of the garb OF her order, they
turned the sister away.
Forth TO the desert she wandered and
builded an altar of stone;
There she knelt in her suffering, at
last with her God alone
Then came the storm and darkness,
mady the thunder crashed,
Loud rolled the earth in its anger
cruel the lightning flashed.
And oft through the night to the mis-
sion was born her piteous cry,
20 Madre de Dios, THY mercy on such
as l."
This is the tale as they tell It.; how
with the coming Of light,
There where had been an altar a
mountain had grown In the night /:
While before it was kneeling so saw
the mission flock.
The Sister Teresa OF yesterday had
turned to eternal rock.
SO in the desert coutry. through all the
length Of days,
Kneeling before the altar, for the err
ing souls she prays;
And oft when the storm is raging, they
hear her piteous cry,
