MINES BUREAU
ANNOUNCES new
SERVICE OFFERS

WASHINGTON Announcements
issued recently by the United States
Bureau of Mines described three
new meritorious services being con-
Quoted by that agency. These COM
prise: ID strategic minerals in
vestigations in the field in accor-
dance with provisions of the Stra-
tegic Materials Act; (2) monthly
canvasses of production, consump-
ton, and stocks of strategic min
erals; and go periodic surveys of
dealers and consumers stocks and
the rate of consumption of iron and
steel scrap.
AS all these relate directly to ma
tional defense vitality important
subject at any time, but especially
so during the present international
crisis-they are in keeping with
the Bureaus announced policy of
presenting timely faetual data on
strategic and highly essential min
eral raw materials at this time
The celebrity of which the explor-
alton work has been carried on has
won much credit for the Bureau. It
has been effectuated by the wide
spread use of tractor bulldozers in
such work as trenching previous to
Most of the mineral industry has
announced its intention of aiding
the Bureau and cooperating with
it so that its results win hit high
and valuable standards.

BOOK REVIEW

Just received is a copy of the
Copper Development Associations
(London) Publication "a, 1.-THE Ma
Ginning of Copper and It's Alloys"
The introduction to this 107-page
book states that a generation ago
no useful purpose would have been
served by such a compilation of in
formation as is now presented:
copper alloys were limited in num-
Der and all were regarded as essen
TALLY free-machining.
Today machining practice is differ
ent. A general speeding up of ma
Ginning of ferrous materials has re-
suited through the development OF
cutting-tool materials such as the
hard carbides. The possibilities of
corresponding Improvements in ma
Ginning copper alloys have not yet
been fully explored.
Improvements in copper alloys
and the advent of stainless steels
and light alloys have increased ov-
erlapping in fields of application of
copper alloys and other materials.
Where such competition exists and
alternative materials are equally
from a service point
of view, the criterion of selection is
relative manufactured costs. in
which machining is a substantial
factor Hence the usefulness Of this
new guide to copper machining
practice.

DIVIDENDS OF
MINING FIRMS
SHOWING GAIN

lSPOKANE-Ma mining COM
panies in the Occur d'Alene district
Of Idaho paid dividends of $685.
STA in 1899, compared to $780,
93S in 1888.
Dividend declarations by the
Bunker Hill Mining & Smelling
properties jumped from $51,776 to
$9S1.OOO. and those on preferred
stock of the Federal properties in
creased from $788,44O to S2.9OS,-
900.
Gains by these and other COM
Danies offset a 100000 drop in
the payments of the rich Sunshine
silver property.
The 1899 payments by Bunker
Hill brought to $53,250,439 the
amount paid by the mine since it
began operation in the first days
If the district.
Six new mines in the district
have started production within the
last year. namely the Star, Occur
d 'Alene mines, Silver Dollar, Tama-
rack, Sherman and Dayrock all of
which will probably enter the divi-
dend paying list under favorable
mining and metal market condi-
tons, it is said here.

Rranangan Closes For
Winter Months

LIBBY-After a successful de-
velopment season w. r. Wade is
closing his Branagan mine here
for the winter months.
He expects to build the first 100
ton unit of a 200-ton mill next
spring. Construction is scheduled to
start late in March and bids for
equipment and construction work
will be received this winter.
The plant will be electrically
driven and Diesel electric engines
of $50 horsepower Will be installed
for mill power. Other Diesel air
compressors will also be installed
for the mine.
Though Wade has been in direct
charge here, his office for the win
ter is at 315 Montgomery Street,
San Francisco.

The U. S. Land office has granted
extensions to persons having
equities in permits and some $50
permits were thus extended to De-
cember 81, 1899. and of these prac-
tically possibly excepting five
or six were completed, including
some rs which were part of the
Montana Dakota Utilities company
blocks in eastern Montana.
When the effective and unextend-
ed permits expired on Decembr 81,
1898, bond was required which
few permit holders could furnish.
The department relinguished the
ruling regarding bonds and provid-
ed that a permit owner could &C
cept a five-year lease with free
rental for two years. In the case
Of a 2560-acre lease this means a
considerable saving since the rental
would otherwise be so cents an acre,
we're the lease taken direct under
the new lease forms.

narament will accept applications for

LOOK AROUND YOU

For several months American eyes
have been fixed on warning Europe
That is natural but we must not
forget that pressing as international
problems may be, domestic prob
lens cannot be overlooked.
The Federal debt still rises
dangerously in spite of exorbitant
taxes. The need for equitable labor
legislation becomes more urgent
And the radical philosophy, which
seeks to destroy private business,
is active as ever.
1t is the duty of Congress to make
us secure from invasion. 1t is
likewise the duty of Congress to
make us secure from the far more
imminent perils that exist within
our own borders. We need to do
more looking at our own United
States and less at nations three
thousand miles away.

COURT ORDER
ENJOINS TEST
HOLE" OFFERS

SPOKANE Enjoining Leon Star
mount and Mining Truth" a Spo-
kane publication, from further
solicitation of pledge or express
sions of interest in securities of As
sessable Exploration Co., non
existent corporation. Federal Judge
Lloyd L. Black of Washington in
November uttered a decision of sub
stantial interest to mining men.
The case was brought on com
plant of the SEC following pub
lished description in Mining
Truth" of a proposed company
which was contemplated for the pur-
pose of providing financial assist
ance for distressed mining compan-
les The publication sought express
sions of willingness to subscribe for
stock in the company, which was
described as offering 1.-The oppor-
tunity of a lifetime"
In defending the case, Starmount
took the position that he was privi-
legged to describe a contemplated
company and that solicitation of
pledges for securities of a non-exis-
tent corporation did not constitute
an offering as covered by the law
In summing up the issue, the
court said:
TT is conceded that the corpora
ton generally known as 'Asexco' is
one that does not exist in fact, has
never been incorporated, has no
stock. no articles OF Incorporation
no officers and no assets.
1T is likewise conceded that there
u n hnnrl ~ fvsof Of khfr
Doration, nor any registration by
promoters in connection with any
REORGANIZATION campaign. Never
theless it is the position of the
plaintiff (SEC) that thu defendants
are engaged in selling stock and,
in connection Herewith, are employ
ing the United States mails in inter
state commerce to facilitate such
sale
1T is the position of the defend
ants that there is no crroration
and no stock. and that, prima ia
,ie. there can be no sale"
In granting the injunction, Judge
Black observed:
"The defendants say that
hey have the right to describe this
organization and its pur-
pose and in order to intelligently |
decide what to do. ascertain the at
-itude of those whom it approaches.
II am inclined to think that the !
defendants are confronted with /,
several dilemmas. II the issue of |
September 80. 1889 mining !
rruth), is not an offering for
sale. if there was no commitment if |
here was no subscription, if there |
vas no payment, if there was no
there for any payment, |
hen the defendants will lose moth |
ng of material value IL they are
from asking a person to
sell them something that the per-
son does not have to stay by
''If on the other hand. this is !
an ingenious subterfuge, then, of |
course the defendants should be |
prevented from indirectly offering
TO sell a security.
IF there is no corporation and il |
no one is bound to have a corpor-
alton then these readers of Min |
ing Truth lose nothing, because
their expression of interest accord
ing TO this horn of the dilemma. is
merely the expression of an inter
est without any advantage. There Is
no obligation on the part of Min
ing Truth or Mr.. Starmount"

Another humorous number will
be the hill-billy singing and
music by Messrs Chancey, Wilson
and Lumpkin, all of the army.
Miss Elena Cordero will give a
version of the popular Rhumba
and Gloria and Henry Vinson,
two local song-birds, will each
render a vocal solo.
A trio of string musical num-
