Base Aid in Old Age
On Monthly Income

Old age insurance benefits hereafter
will be based on the average monthly
wage of a worker instead of the total
wage he has earned, the Social Security
board announced Amendments to the
social security act have made number
of changes in the operation of the law.
To simplify their explanation of the
changes, the social security board has
prepared the following questions and
answers on the benefit program:
Q. Do the old-age insurance amend
ments make any change in the method
Of calculating benefits?
A. Benefits will now be figured on
the average monthly wage OF a worker
instead of the total wages he has earned.
@. VIII the new method of figuring
benefits make any important change
in the procedure already established by
the Social Security board for the main
tenance of wage records?
A. No. Employers will continue to
send to the collector of internal revenue
their tax returns along with the de-
tailed statement of the wages earned by
each of their employees, and the boards
bureau of old-age insurance will con-
tinue to record these earnings on the
individual ledger sheets of the millions
of workers for whom accounts are es-
tablished.
@. How is the average monthly
wage" determined?
A. An individuals total wages, II
jobs covered by the system up to tht
quarter in which he died or became en-.
titled to receive his retirement benefit
is divided by the total number O.
months from 1886 up to that quarter
excluding any quarter prior to the in
dividual'S 22nd birthday in which h,
earned less than $50, and employment
after age IS which occurred before 1888
@. What would be the average
monthly wage Of man who will be g.
years old in January, 1887, if he ha
been steadily employed and has earnet
$1,000 year for 10 years.
A. Forty quarters will have elapset
between Jan. l, 1887, and the time thi
man reaches age IS and retires. Hi
wages for the 40 quarters total $4,000
His average monthly wage will b
$4,000 divided by 40 months, or 500
Q. Take the case of another worke
who is II in 1889 He earns very littlt
in 1889, getting one weeks work in (
month at SO a week. When he is l;
he gets a job at So week and witt
only occasional loss of employment
keeps on working in industry until h,
retires in 1888 at the age of SO. VIVA

Show, October ~.

Milady's fashions, 1899 winter version,
will be introduced to the Ely feminine
contingent in gala fashion on october
81, as leading range-ready and
department stores present fashion
institute and style clinic at the Ely
theatre in conjunction with the regular
movie program.
Professional models from the Twin
Cities, famous for poise and grace, will

garments for the winter season. The
dazzling array of winter fashions will
comprise daytime and evening dresses.

institute is destined to prove interest
ing and entertaining.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-10-12

would his average monthly wage be?
A. His total wages must first be
determined This would include every
thing he earned, beginning with his
very first job. When he was working
at the age of II, he made less than $50
a quarter; therefore, those quarters are
not counted in figuring the total num-
Der of months. Between the ages of
Is and SO, when he retires, 200 quarters
would have elapsed. Assume that his
wage record shows that his wages total
1900. This figure, divided by 600
months, gives an average monthly wage
of $120.
@. Take the case of man who be-
came SIS in January 1888. During the
preceding years he earned 500 month.
Since 1888 he has earned SIS month.
He plans to retire Jan. l, 1910. What
would his average monthly wage be?
A. His wages for 1887 total $1,000.
His wages for 1888 are not counted since
these are earnings after age IS and
before 1899. His earnings in 1899 are
$500, making a total of S2,100-or an
average wage for the two years for
which he has wage credits, of $87 so per
month
Q. What is the new formula for
calculating monthly benefits?
A The insured worker will receive
as a basic benefit 40 per cent of the
first $50 of his average monthly earn
ings in covered employment, plus 10
per cent of his average wage over $50
and up to $3.50 a month. He also will
receive an additional per cent of his
basic benefit for each year in which
he has earned at least 5000 in covered
employment.
@. As an example, suppose a man
has been receiving an average monthly
wage of 500 since the beginning OF
1887 and chooses to retire when he
reaches the age of IS at the be-
ginning of 194O What would his
monthly benefit amount to?
A. He would receive S25 Is a month
40 per cent of $50, or $40; plus 10 PEI
cent of the remaining $50. of SIS; plus
per cent of the basic benefit of SIS
or S0.75, making a total of S25.75.
@. Suppose this man is married and
his wife is at least 65 years of age?
A. In that case, his wife would be
entitled to a benefit equal to one-halt
of her husbands benefit, or S12.87
making a total monthly payment to the
couple OF 1882.

All of the slender, graceful racers
to be found in North America have
smooth scales and are noted for
their swiftness. Some of them have
powerful bodies, but not one of these
snakes has been found constructing
its prey. But they do press their
victim close to the ground, restrict
ing the poor things ability to breathe,
and as the reptile is busily engaged
swallowing the captured creature,
it suffers the same end as If 1t had
been crushed to death in a deadly
embrace,
The blue racer is more slender
than the black snake which we
know as the typical form. In color
it is bluish-green, sometimes q
dark olive above and pale yellow
on the abdomen. The chin and
throat are of paler shade.
You will find this racer in the
States west of the Mississippi River.
Those roaming the western part
of the Mississippi Valley are of a
lighter shade than those inhabiting
the Pacific region. When you learn
to Identify the blue racer, the slight
variance In color will not confuse
you.
To begin with, do not believe all
you read or hear about racers. They
have been given more Importance
than they are entitled to, and as
for attacking rattlesnakes, they are
as eager to let them alone as are we.
I would not have you think that
the agile racer is coward-far
from it. When facing facts, with
escape cut off and time an element
in the situation, the racer does some

IN new vein

Acknowledged of the new
high grade discovery made at the
Bay Horse mine of Cy German
and OdillO Rage disclosed that the
vein is from 4 to 6 feet wide, car
rying much silver chloride, ruby
and sulphide. The vein seems to
be an independent branch of the
vein system developed on this pro-
perty At the present time mining
is done by hand and ore sorted for
shipment. This new ore exposure
is 500 feet lower than the ore
mined before and shipped from the
upper workings which proves much
depth on this ore zone. Plans are
being made to move the compressor
plant to this lower level of the mine.
Frank Porter and associates are
developing the Rocky Point group
which has shown some high grade
several times. However, winter
weather and snow handicaps devel-
opment at present. A new tunnel
has been started and these opera
tors are planning a small flotation
mill for next spring.
These properties adjoin the West

the county road is cleared Of snow
and a new road to the mines is
constructed, development will be
slow The county snow plow has
helped to keep the road open to

American Cyanamid of New York
has just put out a new type of flo

ceous gangue. This reagent per-
mits making much higher grade of
concentrates which then are amen
able to cyanidatiOn This improve
ment in metallurgy of ore dressing
is boon to the operators in
Montana
We have in this country much of
the ore deposits in limestone or in
contact with lime, in porphyry of
various types which carry much
carbonaceous matters which are
hard to depress and from much
colloids or shines which make the
concentrates dirty and lower in
grades.
These carbonaceous colloids are
detrimental to flotation and when
depressed in the old way, carries
down valuable sulphides into the
failing.
The ore around Marysville has
much carbonaceous matter in the
gangue such as iron carbonates
which carry no values but only
make concentrates dirty.
The ores from Garnet have much
carbonaceous slime in the granite
prophyry. The ore from the Mel
hart district also has a large
amount of carbonaceous slime in
the gneiss prophyry. Sodium sill
cate in some cases helps to remove
such slime, partly only if too much
silica is used, the carbonaceous
shines carry down valuable silver
lead sulphides, such as silver anti
mony and ruby silver.

this and have troubles with these
shines or carbonaceous gangue are
