Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-02-03

ager asked the treasurer how it hap pened that the salary was paid with out comment, and the treasurer re- piled, "The month before you took the management of our mine the net result was loss of $3,000. Your first month of operation showed a net prof it of $4,500. The "spread" of your improvement was $7,500 in 30 days. Why should we object to paying you $100 more a month than we did the man before you with such a showing as that before us?"
 Another even more striking example of difference in managers occurred a few years ago in Idaho. A certain miner, again practical miner," had been in charge of large mine for several years. The mine employed
 about 300 miners, and had earned dividends almost constantly for the company. It is almost automatic in mining, as in other business, to "let we'll enough alone" But this man. ager was employing 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 in vested. One of the investors sensed this, and urged upon his associates a change in manager till they finally were influenced to employ new man ager. The new man started his op- erations under precisely the same physical conditions. No new equip ment was installed; no additions were made to the force of miners; and liter ally the same outward conditions were maintained. But by recognizing the details under which work was carried on by changes such as the engagement of new foremen and shift bosses; by arranging for special days for hand ling special shipments of ore; by car rying incoming freight on the empty returning ore-cars; by speeding up op- erations 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 30 days from $3,OOo a month to $4O,00O a month-an im- provement which opened the eyes of all the directors to their actual losses through ineffective management at the mine.
 These instances might be multiplied many times, all Illustrating the same point, that every mine ought to have the same inspection of it's business and technical side that would be given a manufacturing plant. In fact, a mine is a manufacturing plant turn ing rock into ore, and it should re- ceive the care and attention and sound common sense that its importance de- serves.-Henry M. Atkinson, Mining Engineer, Salt Lake City, Utah.

BANDSMEN FOR
 MARINE CORPS

Captain J. w. Webb, Officer in Charge of Recruiting, U. S. Marine Corps, 9th & Main Sts., Los Angeles, announced that he has received orders from Marine Corps Headquarters, to enlist bandsmen.
 Owing to the fact that the bands of the Marine Corps are considered the finest in the country, the men who apply will be examined as to their musical abilities as well as to their physical condition. The Marine Band in Washington is always on the look out for good musicians, who are us- ually picked from the numerous Post Bands.
 The Marine Corps has bands in all large posts in the United States, Philippines, China, Haiti, Santo De- mingo, Virgin Islands and other posts. Musicians who desire to take ad- vantage of this opportunity should apply at once as the number of men to be accepted is limited.

 Sirs: By act of Congress approved Jan uary II, 1922, Public No. 127, the Secretary of the Interior was autho- rized to grant an extension of time under oil and gas permits granted pursuant to Section 13 of the Act of February 25, 1920 (41 Stat, 43O, The text of the act is as follows:
 'Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the. United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Interior may, if he shall find that any oil or gas permittee has been unable, with the exercise of diligence, to begin drilling operations or to drill wells of the depth and within the time prescribed by Section13 of the Act of Congress approved Feb ruary 25, 1920 (forty-first Stat utes, Page 437), extend the time for beginning such drilling or completing it, to the amount spec flied in the Act for such time, not exceeding three years, and upon such conditions as he shall prescribe"
 Accordingly, a permittee who has been unable with the exercise of due diligence to comply with the terms of the permit issued under Section Is of the Act of February 25, 1920, may, if the facts warrant, be granted an ex- tension of time upon filing an applica- tion, therefor accompanied by his own affidavit setting forth what efforts, if any, he has made to comply with the terms of his permit and the reasons for delay in the full compliance there with, such showing to be accompanied by a corresponding affidavit of at least one disinterested person having actual knowledge of the facts.
 The affidavit by the applicant must also show the time when he proposes to commence or resume his operations and any arrangements he has made for complying with the terms of the permit. The application may be filed in the General Land Office or in the local land office having jurisdiction over the land involved by the permit. In the latter event the application will be promptly forwarded to this office by the local officers.

RAND STRIKE TO BE
 A LONG STRUGGLE

Repatriation of native miners from the South African gold fields may be interpreted as an indication that the present labor troubles will assuredly be indefinitely protracted. The strike has spread from the mines to include all members of the South African In- dustrial Federation. Even the Johan- nesburg street cars are tied up. Con- ferences arranged by Premier Jan Shuts between the union leaders and the operators Chamber of Mines have resulted unsuccessfully.
 British exchange rates may soon reflect cessation of the Rands new gold supplies. England's large gold shipments to American have played an important part in the past in main taining sterling rates. Extinction of this moment will further overtopple unfavorable trade balances, with con- sequent reaction of exchange quota tions. Elimination of more than half the worlds annual supply of new gold must inevitably produce pronounced effect upon our financial structure, particularly in expanding the unit purchasing power of gold.
 London exports dated Jan. 22 de- clare that around 10000 native miners have already been "exported" from the Rand to points north in Africa. This is at the rate of practically 1,700 men a day, probably the limit fixed by transportation facilities. At the end of November there were 191, ,000 na- tives employed in the mines, so that in only 12 days over 10 per cent of the black labor supply has been lost to the mine operators.-N. Y.
