MINING PROGRESS

The mining industry has had some tough going for many years and especially during the years before the depression due to high wages diseouragng taxes and unfavorable legislation.
 But many mining stuck tenaciously to the game, and now daylight is in sight. The rise in the price of gold and silver the renewed demand for metals used in the industries, technique, new processes and new inventions have brought about revival of the mining industry.
 More gold has been produced in this country than for many years Old mines which did not pay under former conditions being reopened and made to pay Many hundreds of thousands are being produced from the operation of placers Copper and iron mines clos ed for long periods being operated at profit There is search for chrome, manganese, nickel moybdenum and other metals in paying deposits for new uses which

built within the limitations indicated in the decision The new farm act has been forthcoming and is meeting warm recepton.
 The President has clamped down on relief and pointed the way toward curbing public expenditure These are but few of significant things in the political picture at the moment, but doubtless all of them have had something to do with raising Roosevelt stocks to new high level. If the trend continues it is not all impossible to the President virtually as popular national figure he in 1882 when he was swept to office Especially in view of the fact that the Repub- hcans are dlsorganzed and battling among themselves with logical contender for the nomination on which they center. The Landon boom is losing momentum and unless something exceptional is done to revive it. it may we'll be almost extinct by convention time Par cularly if Senator Borah keeps moving ahead picking up delegations to Cleveland route he did in Wis consn.-Junaau Empire.

BOARD TO RULE
ON PLAN FOR
APARTMENT
Decision Today May
Affect Future Of
County Building

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Jan. Specialization of the
largest individual real estate de-
velopment ever attempted IN Ar
lington county hinges on a de-
cision to be given today by the
County Board of Zoning Appeals
at an adjourned session scheduled
for 3 o'clock.
Dealing with an issue that may
give county authorities complete
control of the future residential
development of the county, mem
bers of the coming board heard
arguments pro and con on the
proposed 100000 apartment
house for more than two hours
here yesterday, and withheld their
decision until today.
Several dozen indignant citi-
zenS representing more than a
half dozen civic organizations and
a representative OF the Army and
Navy Country Club appeared to
protest issuance OF a permit that
would allow the 720-family apart
ment house to be erected in the
heart of one Of the county'S most
exclusive residential sections.
Described AS Asset
Described as the finest project
ever proposed for the county, rep
resentatives of the builder-HenTy
C. MorriS-declared the proposed
apartment house would be an as
set to any community. 1t was
said to include tennis courts, foot
ball and baseball fields, a swim
ming pool, flower gardens. park
area and Fairgrounds for chill
dren.
Ranging from two to six stories
high, the apartment was described
as being a modern fireproof struc-
ture situated on a site of approx
mately 10 acres in the Aurora
Hills section of the country. The
buildings, it was pointed out,
would cover less than live acres
of the area devoted to the develop
ment.

The objective Of the exhibition,
as explained by Treasury Spokes-

and value of domestic building
materials, especially those which
are produced in the immediate
vicinity of many construction
projects. Expectations are that
superiority and preferability of the
domestic products will be brought
to public attention through the

The balance of the $3.50 AAA

Mr.. Kerlin stated that if def

Approximately 200 NRA EN-.

opportunities are presented could
qualify for positions even under

Unless mathematics are faulty,
it would seem that several hum

SMALL GROUP
TO DETERMINE
BOUNDARY
To sit Around Table,
In Dispute About
Property Rights

With hearings on the District
Virginia boundary dispute con-
cluded, the House Judiciary Com
mittee appeared ready today to
order a subcommittee to meet with
the opposing parties in unofficial
conference for the purpose Of
reaching an agreement.
Chairman Hatton w. Summers
CD, of Texas, at the conclusion
of the hearings yesterday ex-
pressed the belief that members Of
his committee are thoroughly con-
versant with the effects any sweep
ing decision of the committee may
have on either the Government or
Virginia.
He would not say what course
he believed the committee should
pursue from now on, but gave an
indication that he thinks more can
be gained by permitting repreSen-
tativeS of each group to "sit around
a table" with a subcommittee and
discuss their differences.
During the several days Of
hearings each side from time to
time has yielded on certain points
of the controversy, and the issue
has dwindled from one of whether
to place the boundary at the low
water mark on the Virginia side
of the river from headland to
headland, or at high water mark
on the Virginia side of the river.
to one Of the necessity of one
side or the other retaining GER
tain pieces of property in the
disputed area.
An indication that a Subcom-
mittee would be appointed to at
tempt to work out these differ
ences with a view to bringing
about virtual agreement between
the two forces was given by Rep
resentative Summers yesterday
when he said:
Il think that the procedure
in this matter from now on
will all be informal"

PEPCO TO GET
EARN|NGCUT

While the Public Utilities Com
mission today debated testimony
concerning a reduction Of the
minimum per cent rate of re-
turn allowed the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co., it was learned to-
day that the return rate will be
cut at least to So per cent.
The commission is also conSid-
ering. and possibly will effect, a
reduction of 100000 from the
company'S rate base of $70,000,-
900.
The commission adjourned hear
ingS late yesterday and will re-
sumo within a week an inquiry
on the 1886 rates which the COM
pany will charge to consumers.
In the event the rate of return
is cut and the rate base is re-
duced it is possible that electric
light consumers may save ap-
proximately 100000 from their
bills in addition to the $84,585 in
consumer rate reductions already
assured.
