Cotton raising has until late wears
Deen considered king of the industries
or the United States. Recently corn
has supplanted cotton on its high
throne and now cattle are taking Der.
cedence OF corn as ruler of the mar
kets. IL has come to be a truism
that no commercial investment is so
certain and magnif ent in its profit as
cattle raising, and it is estimated that
not less than S4OOOOO,OOO is now doing
service in this industry in the United
States. About tiity per cent. of this
sum was added during the year 1889
just passed, IN the increased valuation
OF live stock as well as the new capital
brought into the business. 1t REQUIRES
no argument to convince a business
man that cattle are cash. Here on
the boundless expanse of the west

Concentrates.

The concentratOr construction gives
employment to twenty men at the pres
ent time.
The snow delays work upon the mill
to some extent but clear day will dis
sipate the white mantle as mist before
the wind.
This week will see the boiler enclosed
IN its brick frame, the engine and
shaftlng up and water tank built.
Things begin to show up more rapidly.
AS soon as the ore bins are ready
Saucier Bros are ready to deliver fifty
tons of Silver Monument ore at the
mill, the first run IS to be made upon
this ore.
Frank Sauc ier has contracted to haul
ore to the concentrator from the
Apache and Old Vic mines for year
at one dollar and a quarter per ton.
These mines expect to furnish at least
tive tons daily.
J. B. Cajacobs has put in two hun
dred cords of No. wood at the mill.
Many thought he could not fulfill his
contract without loss but he has not
only put in first class wood and full
measure but has made good wages.
The limit of concentration of ores
depends upon their value in paying for
themselves. Ore worth five dollars per
ton could be concentrated forty tons
into one but it would not pay for itself.
Probably the poorest of the Colossal
and Silver Monument ore will run
twenty tons into one. Their $500 ore
will run but about ten into one.
The contract for hauling the Buffom
ore to the mill was let to Frank Pete
at So 25 per ton. Frank sees that the
road is kept in good repair, does some
necessary work upon it to COM
mence with, and transports small arti-
cles free of charge from the mine to
the mill and town and from Chloride
and the mill TO the mine. Bids were
received as low as 1920 per ton, but
upon the whole Frank Pete's was most
satisfactory. s, 5. Stailey assists Frank,
They commence hauling next week.
Frank Saucer has entered into
contract with the owners of the St.
Cloud, Mayhower and Atlanta mines
which stipulates that he shall haul all
the ore now ON the dumps and which
shall be taken out from the mines for
one year, to the concentration, at the
price of two dollars per ton. The
owners of the mines expect to furnish
twenty tons per day of concentrating
ore and those who know the mines
thinks their calculations are based
npon reason.
