Lead sitnation Nerv strona.

The price of lead continues very
firm at the quotation of to S.25 cents
per pound The strength of the metal
in the market is world wide. The AM
erican Magazine, of London, contains
the following on the lead situation:
Neither Spain nor Australia seems
likely to be able to ship more than re-
stricted quantities to London for
many months to come, and it does not
appear probable that Mexico will be
able TO compensate by way of larger
the deficiency in cOnsign-
ments from the other producing coun-
tries. Meanwhile, consumption is
fairly quiet but may be expected to
expand early in 1928, as general bust
ness sentiment is decidedly optimis-

ASSESSMENT WORK LAW
ITS PLAIN PROVISIONS
CONFUSING TO SOME CLAIM
OWNERS, ALTHOUGH LAM
GUAGE is CLEAR.

Answering a correspondent who is
still in doubt regarding the meaning
OF the new law covering annual as
sessment work on unpatented mining
claims, the Engineering and Mining
Journal-P Press gives the following ex-
planation:
On August "a, 1921, a bill was pass
ed making the assessment work year
coincide with the fiscal year instead of
with the calendar year. 1t is to be
noted that the law requiring perform
ance of assessment work was COM
pletely suspended in 1917, 1918 and
1919, and that no work was necessary
during those years to hold claims. But
for the year 1920 the stipulated
amount of work was required, and
likewise for 1921, the time in which
the work must be done for both of
these periods merely having been ex-
tended (for the latter period incident
ally by virtue of the new law by six
months.
Previous to the passage of the law
of August "a, 1921, the year within
which work was to be performed was
the calendar year beginning with the
1st day of January next succeeding
the date of the location, and ending
with the 31st day of December (See
"Lindley on Mines" sec. 6S2). Accord
ing to Lindley, a location made on
January 1, 1903, need not have been
represented until December, 1904,
thus permitting the claim to be held
two years without the ne
cessity of performing any work what
ever. except such preliminary devel-
opment as might have been required
by the laws of the several states as an
act of location.
Quotes the Law.
The new law, however, which was
signed on August "a. 1921, is very def
mite in it's amendment. It says:
"The period within which the work
required to be done annually on all
unpatented mineral claims located
since May 10. 1872. including such

PRINTER HAD TROUBLES
WESTERN PIONEER DAYS
OLD LETTER UNEARTHED FROM
MlSSOULA PUBLISHER
TELLS THE STORY.

In the early days of Montana, pub
fishing a newspaper was not without
its difficulties, as will be attested by
some OF the men who have welded
the editorial pen in this state since
the times OF slow freighting by bull
teams. when rush order for ink or
paper had to be filed by stage coach
express, perhaps after lapse of
weeks, says q Montana paper.
The atmosphere of an old Montana
print shop clings to letter which
was discovered in the Office of the
Deer Lodge Silver State, a successor
to the New Northwest one of the
best known of the pioneer Montana
newspapers. which was founded and
edited for some years by Captain
James H. Mills.
This letter was written by Chaun-
cey Barbour, then Gator of the Week
ly Muscular of Mssoula, and a char
acter who is remembered by many
old-timers 1t bears date of 40 years
ago, and gives an insight into some
of the obstacles which had to be over
come by a publisher of that day The

follows. was the stage coach:

me another oyster can of ink by the /

he danger is that the Nez. Perces

DELUDED RUSSIA UNDER
GOVERNMENT OF LENINE
BOND PAYABLE IN RYE-RUBLES
BY BALE-ABSENCE OF
SKILLED LABOR.

Grain loan bonds have been tried in
Russia by a government which has
found that after all private property
is a mighty good thing. Bonds were
offered to the public in denominations
not of currency but of rye. A sub
scriber asked for a bond for one pood
of rye or 100 pools of rye
So far so good, even in Russia. The
use of rye to indicate a denomination
went no farther. a peasant who
wanted a bond found he could not
tender rye he had to pay in money.
In fact the government never thought
in terms of rye; it had tbs eye fixed on
currency. 1t made the issue price 50
per cent of the average price of rye.
Even rye bonds will not float them
selves, various theories to the con-
trary Notwithstanding The state
bank undertook the task. and in good
capitalistic fashion got a commission
and a commission that would indeed
make the fortune of banker handling
a government loan in capitalistic
country.

Its Practical Operation.

suppose, therefore. that a claim was
located March 80 1921, the location
work done in June 1921, and the claim
recorded June Is, 1921 eve are citing
an actual case). The law at that time
gave the locator until midnight of
December 81, 1922, to do his 1922 COR
first year, assessment work on
August -. 1921. the law quoted above
was passed, and i'm view of it's speci-
hc wording it will be seen that the To-
Gators first year assessment work had
to be done by July 1. 1922. or six
months earlier than under the old law
Thus he lost six months of the time
that he would have had for doing his
first years work had the new law
not been passed He had until noon.
July 1, 1923. to do his second years
assessment work 1t is confusing to
call this his 1922 or 1928 assessment
work. as the year now runs from July
/, noon, to July l. noon. 1t is seen.
though, that every claim holder whose
assessment work was due under the
old law to be done 10y December 81
1921, gained six months grace by the
enactment of the new law which
changed the assessment work year TO
with the fiscal year
Nowhere is it stated i'm the new law
of August -. 1921 that the assess
ment work period was extended six
months for all mining claims Some
gained, others lost, in the change from
to fiscal year. Perhaps, as a
matter of equity no one should be
made to lose. but the law certainly is /
not so worded. The intent OF the law I
makers is another matter The courts /
nay construe the law as they see fit; /
'ut that, too, is another matter.

Dollar in Rubles.

Yearly rubles are now the fashion
in Russia. Everybody in Russia will
be busy examining the dates on the
bales of paper currency they receive.
The 1928 ruble is oficially decreed to
be worth 100 of the 1922 variety. The
1922 kind is decreed to be equal to
10000 of the sorts put out in the two
or three preceding years. According
to the official rate of exchange decreed
in Moscow, the dollar in October was
worth go of the 1922 rubles
No Place for Skilled Labor
Skill does not thrive under the pres
ent regime in Russia. An official sur
vey made in August disclosed that
now per cent of the persons employ
ed in coal mining are skilled, as
against IA per cent two years ago and
p per cent in 1913. In metal mining
the skilled employees now constitute
Y per cent, but We're S5 per cent in
1916. For electro technical industries
the percentage is now As per cent but
was SIS to 60 per cent in 1913

Naturalization and cheapness do
not go together. Now that the Rus
sian railroads have been brought to a
condition of collapse, rates are being
by 100 per cent
Degeneration in all economic facili

ployment Jobs are disappearing even

are consequently going to the country.
