Life for Prisoners Is Much
Brighter When Leaving At

NOTABLE REFORMS ARE MADE
Work in Duck Mills Is Very Advanta

Bonus for Work.

Washington.-Out of the gray
walled prisons, a shOddy, tell-tale suit
in one pocket the governments con-
tribution to the future in the form or
q SO bill. This was the picture, daily
repeated Of the average convict VINO
left federal prisOn-left it (as ne
left others) ill-clad, broke, with one
prize possession-a crouch.
But under reforms introduced in the
big prison at Atlanta the picture has
changed. He may come out with
prison-made suit. But instead OF the
single $40 bill he may have many S1oo
bills. a well-paying vocation. and un-
less he is a habitual criminal the
crouch is left behind with the prison

"The federal government established

STOCKHOLM. Fob. 23.-Russian newsboys now, for the first time in years, selling daily papers in the streets of Moscow. merely exchange bundle Of papers for an armful of rubles. Street sales of daily news papers are now permitted in all Rus sian cities, according to Russian cor respondents of Stockholm papers.
 The Moscow Ivestia, formerly giver free of cost by the Soviet govern ment to Soviet officials, was put on sale at 2,0O0 rubles copy. A boy who sold 50 of them would be loaded down with 100000 rubles in Bolshe- vist currency.
 The first days sale of a Moscow iaily in that city amounted to 10000 copies at 2.000 rubles per copy, or . total of 20,OOO,000 rubles, but or the second day the sales fell off and in about week only some 6,000 copies of daily papers were being sold
 The monthly subscription price oi daily newspapers in Moscow is 40,e0C rubles,. and 45,000 in the adjoining rural districts. Only billionaires iu the modern Russian sense of thu word can afford a daily paper; but of course. there arc a good many bllionaires in Russia these days.

hiOTHER LODE
 OUTPUT MAY
 BE INCREASED
r Famous Alaska Mine Is Prob- ably Lowest Cost Copper
 Producer Tn World.

NEW YORK, Feb 23 - The eany, near Cordova, Alaska, is prob 40ly today the lowest cost copper 0roduccr in the world
 t is making it's metal for 7.11 nents a pound. It's cost last year was 8.66 cents pound. With further reduction in material prices 1t is only logical to expect that cost ger pound will be reduced below cents before many months elapse. Officials say there is every reason 10 believe that cost per pound a
 ear hence will be in the neighbor
 oDd Of 6 cents.
 The company produced 2.011, ,064 pounds of copper in December. This brought the total 1921 output up to }9 000,000 pounds, the best pro- 9uctiCn record since operations star ed in 1908.
 If the copper market warrants it, officials say that output may be doubled this year. The ore is shipped o the Kennecott Copper Company's mill at Kennecott through 1900- loot tunnel completed in the latter art of 1919. es gs
 Mother Lode's high grade ore av eraged 59.72 per cent copper last month. Engineers who have ex-
 mined the property believe that his high grade ore will continue TOT several years. The company also has some milling ore which assays mere than 10 per cent copper.
 One of the characteristics of de- posits in limestone is the irregular ity in the size and shape of the ore bodies, so that it is practically i'm possible to make an accurate esti- mate of the probable tonnage in Mother Lodes mine without an un- warranted amount of development work and expense. Ten years ore reserves are already in sight. And he policy of the company is to de- velop each year an amount of ore equal to that mined during the year.
 Mother Lode has no bonds or other indebte tedness outstanding, aside from current bills. It has more than $2,000,000 cash in the treas ury.
 Mother Lode Coalition was form ed by the Kennecott Copper interests in conjunction with the majority owners of Mother Lode Copper Com pany of Alaska, which owns and op- crates the property adjoining the Bonanza mine of the Kennecott Cor oration. Under the arrangement Kennecott advanced $1,000,000 for the further develoment of Mother Lode. This has been paid off. There are 2.500,000 shares of Mother Lode of which Kenneeott owns 1,275, ,000 or 51 per cent
 Mother Lode has apparently pick ed up the big body of high grade ore which was earlier encountered in Kennecott's Bonanza mine.
