| have Just returned from the
shores OF Lake Superior, where |
spent some time visiting the copper
regions, said to be the greatest in
the world. Throughout the rocky,
barren Keneesaw peninsula, good
for nothing as farming lands, the
immense copper deposits have
caused large towns to spring up,
and they now give employment to
tens of thousands Of men. About
1S years ago a pig strsyed from
the drove to which it belonged, ,and
fell into a pit on a spot where the
city Of Calumet now stands. In
roofing about it uncovered a mass
of native copper, and showed to
the world the location Of the great.
est copper mine it has ever known.
As the result of that pigs roofing
humanity is now $35, 100000 richer
in the use OF the copper there dis
covered, and the stockholders, who,
aided by the pig, have helped the
world to this wealth, have received
about $25, 100000 for their trouble
A town of 6000 inhabitants ha'
gathered around the "pig's hole
and nearly 1000 men are employed
in operating the mines beneatl
it.

Butter and cheese are being
shipped on a considerable scale
from New Zealand to the London
market. A sample of 100 casks of
butter, put up in rolls, was sent to
London recently, sold in Leaden-
hall market at 22 cents per pound.
1t made the voyage in prime con-
ditiOn, in refrigerating chambers at
a uniform temperature Of 2S.' Co
Operative dairying has been es-
tablshed on the American plan,
and the export of dairy products to
London will steadily grow. Two
lines of fast steel steamships ply
between New Zealand and London
direct. These vessels are fitted up
with refrigerators, aud carry mer-
chandise and passengers. Cheap
ness of production, rapid transport
and prime quality are the factors
which will command success for the
farmers of this country.-American
CuttirGtOr.
We recently took occasion to re-
mind our readers Of the protection
afforded buttermakers by the pres
ent tariff, amounting to ! cents a
pOund-the same as is extended to
the makers of cheese. The above
is conclusive as to the necessity fol
this protection. If the New Zea'
landers can sell a prime article OF
butter in the London market for q
cents a pound they may soon be
able to undersell those who make
it here, although required to pay q
license or tariff of 4 cents per pound
for the privilege.

IL this law could be shaped so the people
could understand it, there would be less
chance for fraud. BY making 1t Illegal to
cut an election ticket narrower than 2s inches

the last legislature made II possible to create

In cutting between - and y inches, there is

cutting 100 or 600 tickets, ten, twenty, or a

Here Is Our Argument.

FROM the EcvicW-Press Of last saturday.
There has been great deal said about the
resources of Gunnison What are these re-
sources and is there any reason for the fire.
quent words of encouragement spoken in be-
half of this widely known country?
Last evening a Recie,c. Press representative
met Mr.. Ridgway, Division Superintendent
of the Rio Grande whom he asked for some
railroad news. News, why you have more
railroad news in Gunnison than the entire
State Of Colorado" was the reply. Mr.. Ridg-
way then proceeded to explain what he
meant. He said that cacn day from seventy
TO eighty cars loaded with freight are billed
from the single station of Crested Butte. Of
this number not five a day consist Of
company coal. II is all pay freight. From
5000 to IS 900 worth of freight leaves this
point daily. From the hard coal breaker an
average of about 240 tons day Is shipped to
various parts of the country. maxim. from
eighteen 10 twenty -four ears per day. There
is no orhcr branch of the road, says Mr.
kidgway. that will compare with this little
spur leading up from Gunnison to Crested
Butte. Besides the immens. amount of an
thracite, soft coal aud coke that is daily ship
ped fsom this point, several ear loads of sill
yer and lead ores are billed each day TO Gun
nison, and various smelling points east of the
range.
This is the showing from single shipping
point in the Gunnison country. True il Is
the heaviest Of any of the many points. The
Baldwin mines come next in order, aud from
these mines many ear loads of coal and ore
are daily billed for Gunnison and other
points. With such n showing is il any won
der that Gunnison people entertain great
hope, that this, in the near future, will be
an important and thriving city?
