POSTOFFICE TO

Conferences Held With Idea
of Switching Clerks.

In accordance with the recent procla-
nation Of VIII II. Hays, Postmaster
General, asking postmasters throughout
the country to use the utmost economy in
administering their offices without causing
any deterioration in the quality Of serv-
ice given, r. Z. Springsteen, postmaster.
has been holding conferences with forty
one supervisors Of the local pOstoffice and
heads Of departments.
As a result Of these conferences It is
probable that in the future as little use
Is possible will be made of substitutes
from the auxiliary service and clerks will
be shifted around during rush times in
IN effort to avoid expenditures for extra
help.

cheaper for these factories 10 locate

locate elsewhere and bring the coal there.
1t was this fact that brought to New
castle the steel works Of the Broken Hin
Proprietary Company and gave birth to
one Of the commonwealth industrial
rOmanaces OF the great war. The Broken
Hil company, 1t might be mentioned,
operates one Of the worlds greatest silver
mines, located in New South Wales, al
most on the border line of South Austria
liza. Twenty years ago. purely MS the
basis for possible future use, it obtained
control Of two mountains, Iron Knob and
Iron Monarch. in South Australia. which
proved to be exceedingly rich in iron ore
But it was not until 1915 the company
decided TO take up iron mining as side
line to its silver mining. Then 1t began
to look around for a suitable location
for Its steel works. Newcastle coal was
the deciding factor. 1t was splendid for
making into coke and Port Hunter of
fered a good harbor into which to bring
the iron ore for smelling. 1t takes more
coal than 1t does ore in the making of
steel, so 1t was up to the company to

their home. For years a shepherd
camped nightly upon a bed of silver
worth a kings ransom. Accidentally he
found samples of lead ore which in the
hands of an assayer revealed traces Of
silver.
ORIGINAL OWNERS
MADE MILLIONAIRES.
But the range lay 200 miles from a
railroad and $50 miles from a road of
any kind, the water supply was negIigi-
bic and the men who staked it out, poor
men unable to work it themselves, were
turned down in their efforts to dispose
OF the holdings for $1,000. The condition
under which they could retain posses
sion under the mineral laws was that
they do a certain amound OF work upon
the claims and somehow they stuck it
out, put down a couple of shafts and ran
crosscuts without making a find that at
tracted any attention. But they were
hopeful and managed to sell a few shares
and continue the work. And ore day
they came across the real lode, 'abul-
ously rich, and the original owners who
held on to the shares only because they
could not be sold became milliOnaires.
What must have been the feelings of
those Austrian and English mining men,
who refused to touch the proposition
when a sixteenth share could have been
bought for $1,000! How they must have
ragged when the stock markets Of Aus
tralia and London went crazy over the
trading Broken Hill shares and the six
teenth which a few months before could
have been bought for $4,000 was quoted
at $7,000000 The sanity Of the owners
who hat been compelled to hold on to
the mine must have been sorely taxed by
their good fortune. Most Of them are
dead, bit the mines are going strong
except when, as for two years, the min
erS were on strike.
Before the war the Broken Hill mines
produced a quarter Of the worlds lead
and 4 sixteenth of the worlds silver in
one year, not bad for a country which
explorers dubbed the worst in the world.
Broken Hill has done more, however. 1t
has developed new processes and treat
ments for ores, it has been the training
ground for world famous mining en-
gineers and metalIurgists. We Americans
may take a small share of the Australian
pride in Broken Hill, because it was
American mining experts who first de-
developed them after the lode was found.
Today Broken Hill is as rich as ever,
and will again be worked to full ca
pacity when the world has settled down
definitely from its spree of high living
and big wages.
