COMMON SENSE N MINE INVESTMENT
How a Good Mine Can Be Made Improbable By Poor Judg
ment of Management


CURED a few years ago In Idaho. A
certain miner, again a practical
MINER" had been In charge of a large
mine for several years. The mine
employed about 800 miners, and had
earned dividends almost constantly
for the company. 1t is almost axi-
omatic in mining. as in other busi-
ness, to ''let well enough alone" But
this manager was employing a large
force, had much expensive equipment
in his plant, had many thousands Of
feet of tunnels and drifts to keep
open. and altogether his net earnings
were not in proper proportion to the
capital invested. One of the direc-
tors sensed this, and urged upon his
associates a change IN manager till
they finally were Influenced to en-
ploy a new manager. The new mar
started his operations under precise
ly the same physical conditions. No
new equipment was installed; no ad-
ditions we're made to the force Of
miners; and literally the same out
ward conditions were maintained
But by reorganizing the details under
which work was carried on by chang
es such as the engagement Of new
foremen and shift bosses; by arrang-
ing for special days for handling spec
ial shipments of ore; by carrying in
coming freight on the empty return
ing ore-cars; by speeding up opera
lions throughout the mine through
stimulating rivalry in the several
shifts, and by other similar methods.
the new manager improved results
greatly. In fact, he increased the net
profits in the first 80 days from 49,
900 a month to $4,000 a month
an improvement which opened the
eyes of all the directors to their ac-
tual losses through ineffective man
agement at the mine. +
These instances might be multi
piled many times, all illustrating the
same point, that every mine ought
to have the same inspection of its
business and technical side that would
be given a manufacturing plant. In
fact, a mine is a manufacturing plant
turning rock into ore, and 1t should
receive the care and attention and
sound common sense that it's i'm
portance deserves,

GAME OF

Tonopah Times: Nevada has a
new game which is not likely to be-
come very popular in official circles.
1t is a revamped form of the Juvenile
sport of Button, button, who's got
the button?" General WOODBURY.,
United States District Attorney, is the
author. In pursuing the pastime Mr..
Woodburn 1t is. because he has to ms
wer all questions to the best of his
ability with due regard for the dig
nifty of the law.
Mr.. WOODBURY. started something
when he proclaimed that at least two
sheriffs of Nevada counties maintain
municipal stills and that one sheriff
is SO exclusive in his porcine proclivi-
ties that he insists on having the ex-
elusive right to the manufacture of
moon" in his bailiwick. These state
ments have piqued the curiosity of
taxpayers to the extent that they are
asking impatient questions.
The first player called to the bat
was the sheriff of Humboldt County,
who could not stand the kidding of
his constituents and therefore de
manded of Mr.. Woodburn a clean bill
of health. Woodburn responded with
the desired clearance and vindication,
which Sheriff Brady proudly displays
as an eccolade of political knighthood
So far. so good. But. If 1t should
happen that two or three others or a
brace or two shoot the same question
at the Federal jurist the issue will be
narrowed down TO the danger zone.
Nevada has not many counties, and
until the United States Attorney re-
plies to the 10 other sheriffs the sim
lister suspicion is turned in the direc-
ton of all incumbents. BY answer
ing n sheriff the Attorney General
placed himself in the embarrassing
attitude of having to follow the elm
nation game of who got the stills?'
until the last county Is heard from.

Fine Peanuts Raised Here

Henry Damn of Horton township,
raised as fine peanuts here in Stew
ems county this year "as he ever
raised in Missouri" to use his own
words. The peanuts run larger and
fuller, than the ordinary commercial
run usually on sale. locally, and a
fair proportion have three berries
to the pod. The seeds were obtained
from seed house last spring and
planted in the garden after danger
of frost was passed, They were Gull
tivated the same as other garden
stuff but given no special attention.
The soil here seems to be particularly
adapted to producing fine peanuts.
The Tribune acknowledges with
thanks the receipt from Mr.. Damn
of a fine sample of his home grown
peanuts. &C.
