COZY CORNER CHAT
California and the West are face to face with an industrial
crisis that threatens the foundation of their prosperity.That crisis can well be termed “mining paralysis.”’
Like the branches of a cancer spreading out into a human
body, its malignant poisons destroying flesh and blood streams,
the dire effects of mining stagnation are reaching every avenue
.of industry and business prospefity, for mining is unquestionly the real foundation of all human progress and achieveAment.
It is time for all of the people of the West to wake up and
ttake heroic measures to correct these conditions and avert the
‘spread of the dangers that now threaten the stability and prosperity of their states.
The “‘cancer’’ in the mining industry is due to a number of
causes that are entirely outside of any question of prolific
amineral resources that are available for development and proitfable returns.
No one can refute the fact that the settlement, devloped .
and upbuilding of California and the west are due to panine .
and the wealth poured into the channels of finance, commerce
“and all human advancement, up to the very limits of the mar-velous achievements of today, which have made America the
umarvel and financial power of the world.
The gold, silver, copper, lead and other mines have all playeed their part in the evolution of civilization, and ‘all which includes. Without the mines and their products none of these
things would have been possible of accomplishment.
Yet, in the face of all these facts, mining is today paralyzed as a basic industry, largely because of liberal doses of
“‘knockout drops’ that have been administered through unjust laws and restrictions inspired by persons who either could
mot grasp the dangerous significance of the restrictions, or by
anfluences whose selfish interests lay elsewhere.
With the throttle choked down to the point of suffocation,
adverse propaganda depicting dangers to investors has been
mixed with every new turn of the screws that have been applied to the mining industry.
On top of other evils that have beset us through constant
xising costs of operation in practically every phase, including
wimreasonable taxation, excessive compensation insurance
wates place an additional burden of 10 per cent on every dollar
eof mining payroll, which in many cases is dangerously close
tto the margin between profit and loss.
Today, even under the most favorable conditions and mine
promise of good or large returns, it appears next to impossible
to enlist capital to finance a new mining project or rehabilitate
“jand old one.
Yet, throughout the West there are millions upon millions
eof dollars in mineral wealth awaiting the touch of capital to reclaim it and turn it into active +vealth and profits.
In California and every other mining state many thousands
«of men who are now idle could be profitably employed through
rejuvenation of the mining industry, to the great benefit not
only of the mining communities, but adding to the civic and
ibusiness welfare of the State in general, through increased
ayrolls and new wealth produced.
_ Many of the burdens and restrictions that beset the mining
industry must be fought down and overcome, and the yokes
thrown off so that new life may begin to flow through the minang structure.
Public confidence in mining must be regained. Public interest must be aroused and participation encouraged by spread3ng the truth of the profitable opportunities that exist in minang, backed by a record of achievementts and usefulness that
enters into every artery of human happiness and progress.—
"The California Mining Progress.
A terrible calamity is about to envelope the gold industry
caused by over production, much worse than the effects of
over-production in copper, lead, zinc and broadcast through
tthe United Press and purporting to come from a Japanese pro_ fessor of the Imperial-College. The statement is that he “‘estimates that there can be produced annually from Formosa IsYand $2,500,000,000 in gold.”
_ Just think for a minute what this means. The total producttion of California from 1849 to date is but a billion and a half,
ithe richest area in the Americas today produces a meager mildiona month, and here we are threatened with a peseeticn
produced aeciaaly as California tas ‘prodhicea't in 80. years.
Af we are to believe all that we hear and read, we many
s00n be able to regard copper, lead and zinc as relatively pre‘cious metals, or if we are able to maintain a gold standard in
athe face of that enormous potential production, Japan will own
‘tthe world, for it can buy it a couple of times every year.
eC just wonder if this statement has any relation to a Japamese hond issue that is being floated to show plenty of assets

Cope With the Locust
Scientists’: have studied the locust
for centuries. They still do not under_ stand the inspiration of its migrations
or the irregular abundance of the
insects. Where do such armies come
from?’ They have flown in solid phalanxes from Africa to England;
swarms have been seen at sea twelve
hundred miles from the neayest land.
Apparently most of them remain for
years in remote desert regions; then
something within them impels the advance upon man’s gardens.
The gulls once saved Salt Lake City
from a locust invasion, and the grateful citizegs raised a monuinent to
thei? winged. saviors. In the old days
our plains farmers kept flocks of turkeys, regarded as the locusts’ mightfest enemies. But apparently the plow
was more potent,still, for when the
plains went into cultivation the great
» breedings of the locusts ended, and
. the Rocky mountain locust ‘that rav-,
aged the prairie states in the 70s and
80s is a rare insect today. The Russians have had some success with poison gas distributed by airplane; but
airplanes are not always readily available when the swarms begin to fly. In
flight of locusts is still as appalling as
in the day of Joel.
Carthage Made Great
Ancient Carthage was the world’s
first experiment in straight plutocracy.
Its frame of government was much
similar to that of Rome. Its ruling
families governed through a senate,
checked in one way or another by a
popular assembly. Some of the ruling
families kept power by alliance with
the public, but what really made the
city great was the ability of a few
men, many of ‘them of the Barcidae
family—Hanno, Hamilear, Hasdrubal
and, above all, Hannibal.
Yet the spirit of the city differed
from that of Rome. Its people were
at ofce more oriental and more commercial. Its religion was a weird affair, with the sacrificing of children in
the burning mouth of a god. And Its
i trading spirit went so far as to weaken its strength. Its mercenaries were
good fighters, while they were paid,
but in the end the Roman legion,
manned by citizens of the republic,
brought them to the ground.
Frascati and Tusculum
One of the most delightful excursions from Rome is south to Frascati
and Tusculum. This section is higher
than Rome, and cooler, go it has become a favorite summer resort for
Romans and foreigners alike. There
are many beautiful villas owned by
famous Roman families, and often the
public is admitted to the gardens of
ancient trees and splashing fountains,
and to the interior courtyards and
galleries. It is a hard climb to see
them all, so many people prefer to
hire Mttle donkeys before leaving
Frascati. The road to Tusculum was
built by the ancient Ramans—Cicero’s
chariot used often to pass over it on
the way to his summer place, and all
the patricians came this way to the
-theater which is in a fine state of
preservation to this day.
Philosophie Fable
Once upon a time there was a man
who discovered that he could run
faster from a Lion than he could after
a Rabbit. One day while marveling
ever the fact that the Rabbit always
got away when he chased it, and that
in escaping from a Lion he always ran
faster than any Rabbit was ever known
to run, it came to him that if he
could only be chasing bunnies at the
same time that he was fleeing Lions
he would always be able to capture
the one at the same time that he was.
getting away from the other.
After that he always had Rabbit
Stew for dinner any day he got between a Lion and a Rabbit, and he
went looking for.Lions every day.—
Kansas City Times.
Mankind’s Duty
There is nothing lost in doing good,
nor is there lack of wisdom in cloud
or light. They are all above us and
beyond us, and for them we are not to
account, but the talent given in our
keeping, we are held to render its return with something added. Progress
is the law of life, and progress is the
product of doing. Our work is here
and it is within our grasp and power
to do our best. We cannot advance in
this life, by asking that our work be
done—for_us,_nor_if_we possessed_unSparks.

VEGETABLES
As there are sO many people nowa-days who eat little or no meat, one
may find whats -ts
called the “vegetable plate” in
most restaurants
which serve an
to five “different .
kinds, well — seasoned and cooked
and. this supplies
a good main dish. More and more
vegetables is what our bodies need to
give them the right kind of roughage,
as well as the vitamins and minerals
so important to health.
Creamed Celery.—Take the coarser
stalks which are not “perfect enough
to serve au natural, cook in a very
little: water and serve with butter
sauce, or with a rich, white sauce,
adding grated cheese for variety. A
few of the white tender leaves may
be served scattered over the dish for
garnish if desired.
Carrots in Parsley Butter—Take
eight or ten carrots, wash and scrape,
cut into dice or into slices. .Cook in a
small quantity of boiling water lightly
salted, until tender. Melt one-fourth
of a cupful of butter, add one to two
tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and one
tablespoonful of finely minced parsley.
Pour over the carrots and serve hot.
Carrots and-Apples.—Take six car.
rots and six apples (the tart kind),
cut carrots into shoestrings and core
the unpeeled apples; cut into onefourth-inch slices. Place a layer of
apples in a hot frying pan with two
tablespoonfuls of sweet fat, cover with
the carrots, season with a tablespoon.

Cook, turning when browned to the
other side. Serve on a platter with a
layer of each, so that’ the layers may
be lifted together.
Dandelion Greens.—Wash greens,
cut fine with scissors. Place four. taplespoonfuls of bacon fat in a frying
pan, add one-fourth cupful of mild
vinegar and a teaspoonful of salt.

greens, when wilted serve at once,
Thunderstorms and Buds
There is a common belief that a loud
thunderstorm will cause the young buds
on trees to grow so rapidly that the
difference in the rate of growth Is noticeable even to the casual observer.
Scientists do not believe that the noise
of loud thunder has any particular influence on the rate of growth either in
the plants or the buds. Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by
rain, and if the buds come out rapidly
The first productions were small jugs
which came under the notice of a
London firm and which helped develop the business. In 1885, Queen
Victoria purchased some of this ware.
The designs consisted mainly of follated and bird ornament, of conventional scrolls, flowers, fishes, etc. Originally
the colors were only white and red,
but later rich combinations of yellow,
plue, green and others-were used. The
pottery is of ordinary earthenware.
