There Is a meeting of producers with the officials being held I this week, and CoL Miller is talcing an active part in it. The meeting is an important one to the men engaged In this business. The end of the war has reduced the limits cf the market as well as prices, ana zo*ne of the properties that are expensive to operate have shut down. CoL Miller's property is not of that kind. Fxperts of the Bureau of Mines have reported on his property to the effect that it is as fine a grade of hlgn percentage ore of the kind as is to be found in the United States, that it is in inexhaustible supply and can be operated at a minimum cost. "It is zdore il&c a ixiiiu wcuut, w?mi ?? cr.e of ^them said, speaking of its cheapness of operating. Munition makers used vast quantities of manganese and the war hawing practically stopped competlting product from Brazil and other foreign countries, manganese mine owners became suddenly very rich. The war being over, and there being no tariff to protect the owners of such proper- . ties in this country from foreign competition, the later have felt the effects appreciably. This is one of rne oroble.'ns of many concerning the business which the present meeting of mire owners and brokers with government oilidais is confronted. An offer of considerable over a million dollars was made for the I&iller property early in the year, but was turned down by Qpl. Miller. Congressman Stuart F.
