DENVER AND PUEBLO SHELTERS.

The Rocky Mountain Mining Review says: 1.-The smelters of Denver and 1u eblo are great monopolies. This fact alone
 is no cause for complaint, and the Review takes pleasure in reitteratng its often ex- pressed opinion that the valley cites are the most suitable places for great smelling plants and indeed the only places where the industry can be carried on upon large scale successfully. But We do most seri- ously object tn the prices charged by the concerns mentioned for treating ore. They are altogether too large, when the cost of treatment IS taken into consideration, and afford the owners not merely large profits, but fortunes every year. When monop- oly places eXtravagant prices upon its pro ducts or 1t work, then 1t becomes fitting for steps to be taken to break down the monopoly or to compel fair play in some manner. The charges for smelting are ex- travagant, and the time has come, for not only the complaint, but action in the mat ter It is not the railroads but the smelt- CTS that absorb the profits of mInng. A prominent smeltlng man is a candidate for a high office at the hands of the people of this State will he not do something to re heve the large body of mining men, whe are putting thousands Of dollars into hIs pockets yearly"

CORRESPONDENTS
 ED. MINER Perhaps few items from this camp of Burros, Beans and Bullion would not be amiss, so I will give you all the news there is from this SC ction.
 The old Tiptop property of course is idle. There are only two permanent res identers in the camp-Mr. Williams and Gus Bollin Williams Is working on Tiptop South, and is doing well. Gus Bolin makes "bug juice" and sells it to ye festive miner.
 One mile west of Tiptop the Wager Bros are opening the Fl Dorado, one of the finest prospects in Arizona. They are now drifting from the bottom of the winze on the I00-foot level, with very rich ore in sight.
 Colson and Campbell are opening the Comet and have a vein of fine sulphuret ore They deserve all their good luck for staying with the camp during it's gloomiest period.
 Arnold, Haupt, Hesnan and others have done well the past winter
 The lessees of the Basin mine have 8 small fortune in sight
 The Smithling Bros. have good bo- nanza in the Silver Museum, ard more ore is now in sight than ever predicted of it They will ship carload of bullion ir few days. "Long may she wave"
 On West Humbug, the St. Louis and Yavapai NJ and NJ. Go. are hard at work building their l0-stamp gold mill. They have nnmber of mining claims more or less developed. That they will succeed Is Q foregon conclusion.
 Hilbers and Solo will start dairy on the Bug" in a few days
 Political matters are very quiet. This camp, with Humbug, will poll about fifty votes, which are very equally di- vided
 A number of parties here receive let ters almost daily requesting the recipient to do all in his power for some certain would-be candidates.
 see by the last MINER that the Old Man (Beach) is on the Eomeward march. Success to him.

How to Trim a Fruit Tree.

No man should start out to trim a
fruit tree on theory not based on
what is wanted from it's growth. A
good many act and talk about the bust
ness Just as if a fruit tree were grown
for its timber. But the thing wanted
out of a fruit tres is its fruit; this is
down to the hard-pan as to the purpose
of its culture.
The way to trim a tree is that which
gives us the most luscious harvest.
It's the sun that helps to this return for
our care. The right pruning, there
fore. is that which leaves the tree spray
so that the sun can tint with it's pencil,
and ripen by the chemistry of its rays,
every fruit.
Most men begin the work in the
lower limbs, and lop them until, year
by year, the tree takes a form as iank
as lean and feather-strpped turkey.
But the place to begin is at the top,
unless the maze of cIiss-crOss branches
puzzles your downward sight aud
work. If SO, cut out first those inter-
Iacing limbs; then, starting from the
tree-tOp, so lOp the limbs and sprays as
to leave none to chafe its fellows, and
that each radiating branch may stretch
from the trunk or main limbs outward
into space open to the sun and air all
around its fronds and foliage. 1t needs.
besides the wit to Judge about tbs
business, good deal of courage to
rightly prune. Most men are timid
about the duty; they fear lest the cut
ting out of so much wood will shorten
the crop. Have no such fears; no
well-bearing tree does its best unless
the fruit is thinned. Though the num-
Der will be less, the better size will
make the quantity about the same, and
the quality far superior. So, if you
thin out the branches, YOU virtually
thin the fruit, without the job of pick
ing off the little settings, and, at the
same time, open the tree to sun and
air. There are fewer men who have
the courage to thin their fruits than to
prune thoroughly.
As to dwarf trees, it used to be the
plan and counsel of orchardists to cut
in first, before much swelling of the
buds, about half the last years growth
| don't think that counsel wise. A
dwarf tree according to the expert
ence of the veteran nurseryman and
pomolOgist G. M. Hovey) never fruits
well till you leave it to shoot up as it
lists. All you need do is to. stake it, if
the slender roots do not stay its
g wabble " in the wind, and to thin the
fruit sets, if too many for a perfect
crop.-Ger7erat William II. Noble, ia
hurGE Ne1O Yorker.

In their cottage under the pines,
Although they are fun fourscore.

And meet halfway his caressing glance

Nothing therein does the bridegroom miss

Iopping de Qnestion.

Popping the question is q strictly
masculine institution, though it in
wolves the presence of a woman. If a
man popped all alone and no woman
to catch on to his pop he d be blamed
fool for his trou BILE.
Men have been known to pop at all
times and in a variety of places, but
those who have been there saw that q
good sohd pop over a garden gate lays
over any other sort of q pop and is the
poppiest kind of pop.
All women like 10 hear man pop
his poppiest, and have been known to
get mad if the pop was weak, 81 ky
kind of a pop without style, self-respect
ct force of character.
Men get off the best kind of q pop
when they have both of their girls
hands in their own or have one of their
arms around her waist. TIL action
gives tone and force to the pop helps
to hold the fellow up while making it.
Some fellows take naturally 10 pop
ping, and are going off ali the time
To others it is a painful and Iaborous
proceeding, only to be attempted once
IN lifetime and then only as small a
pop as they can pOss bly, get away with.
When fellows pop is acceptable 10
girl, IL instantly involves a kiss.
When it is not acceptable, kissing is
not involved
When fellow pops he always pops
at his lest girl No fellow ever pops
at his second or third best girl. There
is no exception to this rule
Popping is very an lent and hon
orable institution. and the girls like it.

confesses as much. She invents a pop.

Rye.

Where stock IS kept upon the farm a
good patch of rye should be sown early
IN the fall, so that it will make a good
thrifty growth before cold freezing
weather sets in.
There is no plant that will furnish as
large amount of winter and early spring
pasturage as rye, and it is equally good
Tor all kinds Of stock, including pouI.
try. l have found it profitable to run a
small patch convenient to the poultry
yard, so that during the winter the
poultry can have access to it, and find
that it furnishes q large amount of
green food at a very low expense. And
with larger stock the result is the same.
The soil should be prepared the same
as for wheat, but it should, in order to
furnish the largest amouns of food, be
sown cons. derably earlier, say about the
middle of August. provided tina soil is
moist enough to induce termination OF
the seed.

the soil is very soft so that it is injured

And when we realize the value of green

Polly bent down, her hand touched the

In an instant kitty whisked off into

mate didn't follow. she arched her back,
waved her tail like plume, and in the

The Origin OF the Turnpike.

An chronological crank has discov-
cred that the name of turnpike comes
from having a pike hanged across a
roadway SO that no one could pass with
out turning it. Toll roads were instituted
about five hundred years ago, the first
one being built in England by a monk
whose self-appointed work was to guard
the shrine of t. Anthony, on Highgate
Hill. Not having much to do he carried
dirt from the top of the hill and filled
up deep hollow. In doing this he ex-
pended all his fortune, but the King
came to the rescue and published de-

the closely-shaven face, has a purely
fifteenth century effect. Such a number
did l meet that reminded me of the
portraits of the Eleventh Louis of
France, or certain heads in Van Eyck's
pictures. The shirt-collars, often en-
broidered with black lines, and fastened
with large gold buttOn-inks, are fif-
teenth century also. The jacket seems
to be a survival of the ierkin of two
centuries later. The velvet knee
breechcs are evidently a century later
still, as the shoes are. The silver
buckles on the neither garments are
often chased richly; while as for the
four great silver waist buttons, or
rather plates, that half encircle the
belt, embellished often with Scriptural
subjects in rep0HSSe, there is a vague
sort of impression that they must have
survived since the wandering Gauls
overran the islands of iceland. The
other style of neither garment is short,
wide, flowing velvet trousers. On both
