Discovery of Copper
Leaching

The facts concerning the teaching
process OF copper recovery are very
interesting n the lucky accident
which brought about the discovery by
which millions OF POUNDS of copper
which formerly went to waste are
now recovered every year, Is worth
relating.
In NOVEMBER. 1889, there was n dis
astrous fire in the copper mines in the
Butte district OF Montana. The heat
from this fire causcd a slow roasting
Of h copper sulphide bearing min
erals. exactly as happens in the first
operation in a smelter. The resulting
sulphats Of copper dissolved in the
water which was pumped into the
mines In large quantities TO e~xtinguish
the fires. Reaching the surface this
water flowed across a wagon road in
\ shallow stream.
The local junk dealer. one Jim Led.
ford. allowed his wagon to tand for
some tint in this tream. When he
drove home he discovered n heavy de-
posit of copper on the iron tires of
his wagon wheels. Jim was no metal
lurgist. but he was keen enough to
see that he had discovered something.
He applied for and obtained the right
to control the entire water supply
from the mines. This he diverted into
a yard in which no stacked huge piles
OF junk. By the time his contract ran
out he had cleaned up about S100, 900.

Veteran Rehabilitation

THE TREMENDOUS work the government is
l. doing in rehabilitating disabled soldiers of the
world war is little understood or appreciated by
the public at large. At the present time there are
over 10000 students receiving instruction in 3,22S
schools and colleges throughout the country, as
farms. Every one of them has been found by medi-
cal authorities to be disabled either bodily OF men
tally in the service of the United States. Ninety
per cent of them are enlisted men, representing
every creed, nationality, and race, and half of them
have at least one person dependent upon them; some
with as many as seven dependents.
The educational work is under the direction of
the veterans bureau, and has already advanced to
such a state that many men have completed their
courses, and others are graduating every day. 1t
is the desire of the government that every employer
shall be made acquainted with this large source of
trained workers. Every vocation is represented,
and in every large industrial center an employer
can obtain additional competent personnel in a
short time by communicating with the veterans blu.
reau at Washington.
The graduates of the governments schools are not
permitted to terminate their training until thev
have proved themselves skilled workmen and able
to meet the practical requirements of the vocation
in which they are engaged. The courses vary in
length from one to four years, with an average
length of two years.
1t is erroneous to suppose that many of the men
are suffering from loss of limbs. Statistics com.
piled by the veterans bureau show that less than
two per cent of the men in training have suffered
amputations. The rest have received disabilities
such as ~shrapnel or gunshot wounds and other dis
abilities to which the civilian popriation is ordi.
narily subject, such as heart trouble. bronchial dis.
eases, and minor troubles. The men, moreover, are
given courses of training in which their disabilities
will not be a handicap or interfere in any way.

evidence that II was practiced in n

progress in this country only dates
back TO Jim Ledford's discovery.
Curiously enough. another secondary
process OF copper recovery. known as
oil notation. by which millions Of
pounds OF the metal are saved every
year. was discovered by accident. Tho

The Impenshable

There strl are boats with spreading

There still are folk who dream.
Not all adventuring must be

There still are quiet country lanes
And simple folk who dwell
Content with peace and frugal boards
And ancient faiths TO tell.

The romance OF the a C

From place to crowded place

America.
Australia has a goyernment-owned merchant
marine New Zealand contributes to the support
of the line TO British Columbia and also to the
maintenance of a line TO San Francisco.
France kept up a ship bounty system prior to the
war and during the war had a government-owned
merchant marine. The ships have been sold to pri-
vate concerns and the government is paying 81 1900,
600 francs in subyentions this year.
Italy has used various bounties and subyentions
for many years and for the current year is paying
24O.OO0,0O0 lire for subventions and 46S, T00,O0O lire
for construction bounties.
Holland subsidies lines operating TO the East In
dies and pays mail subventions 10 transatlantic
and South American lines.
Spain pays IN operating subsidy to a company
operating transatlantic lines, based on a specified
rate per mile, and also large subsidies TO lines op-
Grating to African ports.
Germany utilized mail subventions almost ex-
oiusively prior to the war and built up an extensive
merchant marine under that system. Since the war
the German government has paid twelve billion
marks 10 reimburse the shipping industry for its
wartime or treaty-imposed losses.
In view of the policies pursued by the other lead.
ing maritime nations il is difficult to understand
how anyone can expect a merchant marine to be
operated under the American flag without some
sort Of government assistance, especially since it is
that costs Of operation are greater in the
United States than lsewhere.

FAIR PLAY FOR THE FARMERS WIFE

The farm woman is coming into
her own. She has been cnderpaid
and overworked for generations.
On the ordinary farm where there
Is no specialization. the farmers
wife generally has supervision of
the milk. butter. eggs. fruits and
vegetables Poor facilities for
marketing have hindered her at
every turn.
Every woman IN America must
approve OF the law passed under
the Republican administration Civ
Ing the farmers the right to enter
Into cooperative marketing organ
iIations. When the farmers witt
has plenty OF fruit. the chances are
her neighbors have plenty II fruit.
Under the new law this fruit may
be marketed together. This law
will mean better food for the
housewife IN a city apartment as
well as a fair price to the woman
on the farm.
Many city dweifers do not real
ize that two-nfths of the buying
power lies in tho farms. They
are apt to think of farmers as be-
ms but producers and as being
able to produce under any con-
ditions. The farmers are the larg-
est buyers OF leather and textile
goods. They are the largest buy
ers of automobiles and other motor
vehicles. They are the largest
shippers of freight. When the
farms suffer all other industries

Hop Governments Help Ships
J. 2. HANwAY,

NLBSs congress passes a ship subsidy bill, the
y United States will be the only important nation
of the world not granting government aid in the
maintenance of a merchant marine. Every other
leading nation, recognizing the importance of reeu.
lar trade routes and the necessity for merchant
ships as a naval adjunct, provides some sort of as.
sistance TO private merchant shipping. It is as
necessary to the country's welfare as the building
of domestic highways.
Great Britain extends this aid in the form Of
mail subventions and in one case has combined this
with a construction loan. For the current wear
Great Britain Is spending 1877, 800 pounds sterling
on her transatlantic subsidy, 10000 pounds on
India service, 1885 pounds to South Africa and
$4,000 pounds to continental Europe.
Japan established her merchant marine nv oon.
structional and operating bounties. The ~construc.
tionsl bounties were discontinued in 1918, appar.
ently because the number of vessels was deemed
adequate. The oprating subsidy for 1921 was 7A02..
2S5 yen with an additional 1,45o,000 yen for mail
subventions.
The government of Canada makes payments for
the maintenance Of coastal and commercial services.
These amounted to over a million dollars for 1921.
and this was the lowest for several years. In ad-
dltion to that, the Canadian government contrib.
ntes 1880 pounds sterling per year to maintain a

The nrst step taken under Pres
ident Hardings administration TO
restore normal conditions IN the
Industrial and commercial world
was to revive farming. BY an
emergency tariff the government
stopped the coming in Of aEricuI-
turai and other products from
other countries 1t put machinery
in motion TO enable II to loan
money to the farming commute
les at the rate OF 100000 n day.
II has recognized how essential
good roads were TO the farming In
dustry by making liberal appro-
Iriations for h upbuildinK of the
roads In every state.
Congress went to the aid Of car-
tain sections of the northwest
which had suffered total CROP
failure for several years because
OF drought. with a loan enabling
them to buy seed for their crops
this year. Settlers upon govern
ment irrigation and reclamation
projects were unable to make their
payments because of crop failures
or because of the sudden drop In
prices. The Republican Congress
passed a law giving them more
time 70 meet their payments with
out loss OF their rights to the
property. Other acts have been
passed by the Republican Congress.
which through the general better
ment OF conditions have brought
better times.
