HAY.-During the cold snap last week
the price Of hay climbed away up out
of sight, but it soon dropped to normal
rates when the Thanksgiving chinook
began TO get in its fine work on the
snow. 1t is popular belief that every
body is in conspiracy to oppress the
farmers, but we notice that the honest
grangers are as quick to turn an honest
penny as the rest of us when they have
a corner on produce, and nobody blames
them. A hard winter would plant many
a poor farmer on his feet who has moth
ing but "a lot of hay to sell, but it would
be rough on the stock growers.

rived out from Warrens last week aud
reports that winter had arrived to stay
with three feet of snow and the mer-
curry at 200 below 0. George Sears was
to have accompanied him out but he
fell on the ice and fractured his ance,
and he will, perforce, remain in the
camp all winter. The fracture was re-
paired in good style by Dr. Ford, whose
surgical skill and knowledge of medi-
cine makes him valuable man to have
around when accidents happen in an
isolated camp like Warrens. Mr.. Cham
berlain says that there is every promise
of a large travel through Warrens into
the Alton district next summer, which
We hope will be the case, as we are
satisfied that that district only needs a
close prospecting to develope as good
quartz as any of the ledges yet struck
in the camp.
