No More Copper Corners.

1t will be difficult for any combina.
ton of capita! to control the copper
markets of thu world hereafter. The
break in supply caused by the disaster
to the Great Lake Superior mine has
created an interest in So many other
copper districts and the reasonable
certainty of market for the ore has in
duced 80 much work on copper mines
In all countries that in the future the
price cannot he regulated by one local
ity- Although this copper region is
far from the principal markets it is
not too far for profitable transportation
and though none of osr copper mines
are as large as those of Lake Superior,
there are so many that the world could
look to us for a supply If all other
supplies were exhausted. In Santa Fe,
Gillis and Hawthorne districts copper
is abundant. In the PALMYRA range
copper mines were formerly worked
for the silver that was in the ore and
many of these were abandoned the
silver would not pay, because the cost
of shipping or working copper made
copper ore practically valueless-
At Monitor, in Alpine County, there
are large copper deposits which have
been neglected for years because they
we're at first worked only for the silver
and abandoned for the reasons given
above. The expense attending the
extraction and reduction of all ores
has been so reduced of late that these
mines will now doubtless be re. opened
for their copper alone. The same may
be said of scores of other districts
which are now connected with the
markets by railroad and from which it
will pay to ship what once was no
better than vase. In nearly every
range of mountains near the Califo".
mia and Nevada line there are copper
districts which under the now favor.
able circumstances will send out their
ores and without counting the exten.
sive deposits Of Arizona and South
America this region would furnish
sufficient to prevent another monopoly
of the trade.

The coming year will witness busy
times in the mining districts of this
county. Atno previous time have the
prospects been so promosing in so
many districts. Frequently one, or
perhaps two districts were dong we'll
and the county was prosperous through
their output, but at no time has the
confidence in the mining future been
extended to so many sections. 1t is
possible that the production of this
year, coming as it will, From nearly a
dozen different and widely distant
districts will rot equal that of Aurora
and Candelaria in the days of their
greatest activity, but so much mineral
territory will be developed that The
production of the future will be greater
and continuous. The days of deep
mining have come to this county and
deep mining in many sections will
continue until steel cables will no
longer reach the bottom of the shafts
Prospecting and mining are kindred
but different occupations. With bu,
few exceptions the mineral belts of
this section have heretofore been only
prospected' They have been examined
but not mined. Prospecting will be
carried on more vigorously than ever
and mining has been begun in earn.
est 1t need not be expected that
there will be sudden 6usi of money
or that everybody who ventures will
be fortunate, but it can be almost
certainly predicted thmt there will be
enough successful miners to provide
work for those who are unsuccessful,
and to keep the development ahead
OF the cost.

pividcaa Paying Mines.

8, F. Report: The resumption OF
dividends by the North Belle Isle Min.
ing Company, which declared the first
OF series of monthly payments OF
fifty cents per share to stockholders
Monday, calls additional attention to
the fact while this will be a very pro-
fitable year for several of the Com
stock mines, there has been great
and general improvement in the mines
of the so called out side districts, all
of which contributes to tho prosperity
of the miniag districts. The outside
mines have been greatly neglected by
spectators for year past. A few
operators who understood the situat-
ion best, and had faith IN these mines
and stood by them with the necessary
coin to develop new bodies of ore, have
had the satisfaction Of seeing their
faith rewarded OF the comparatively
small number of outside mines listed
at our boards, the Eureka Consolidated
Standard Consolidated and North
Belle Isle, are regular dividend payers
Next month the Mount Diablo will
take its place among them. 1t is be-
lieved that the famous Silver King
mine will ere long resume dividends.
Dividends from several other outside
mines are also expected to be received
before the year ends. People who give
a close attention to the silver question
predict an early and a radical i'm
provement in the price of that metal,
which will be of great benefit to the
mines of the outside districts repre-.
sented at our boards. They point to
the marked advance which is taking
place in the price of the base metals
and say that it is unnatural for silver
to keep down. A rise in the silver
market will be followed by general
resumption of work, especially in Co.
lumbus district, where the Holmes and
many other mines contain vast quaint.
ties OF medium.grade ore, which can
not now be worked at a profit. If
reports from the QuIjota mines in
Arizona, are true, they are now in a
far more prosperous condition than
when they first created an excitement
in our market and their shares were
considered dirt cheap at SIS and SO.
While keeping their weather eyes on
the Comstock, our dealers should not
neglect the outside mines this year, for
it will be year that will be likely to
bring great profit to holders Of some
of the stocks. The brokers have a
great field in which to work up their
business. and they should foster the
outside mines by all means.

THE GREAT CONVENTION.
Democracy to Take the Initiative In th
National Contest of 1898,

Democracy to Taks the Initiative tB the
National Contest of 1893.
The action of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee in selecting st.
Louis rs the place and June 8 as the
date of holding the Democratic Ma
tional Convention will, we have no
doubt, be received with general satis-
faction by the party. As between
Chicago and St Louis there was lit
tie to choose on grounds of convent
ence to delegates. but the former was
given the convention four years ago,
and St. Louis had, on that account,
the stronger claim for the gathering
this year. The greatest of the OBJ
iections, and fatal one, to choosing
San Francisco, was the decided inn
possibility that as ample and complete
reports of the proceedings of the
great representative gathering could
be sent thercfrom rs from any of its
rivals for the convention. The differ
ence in time and great distance to be
travelled would be great obstacles to
the perfect work Of reporting, to
which the people have been accus-
toned, and which they will expect, as
u matter of course, when the conven-
ton is held. A splendid effort would.
no doubt, have been made to over
come these if the National Committee
had selected San Francisco, but it is
better to avoid them when it is not
imperative that they be surmounted.
| The date fixed is two weeks in ad-
vance of the Republican Convention.
This we regard as much preferable to
a date two weeks later than that con-
vention, which was first agreed upon.
If we take the simple view that the
Democracy should proceed in its work
and plan its campaign in utter
unconcern of the movements of its
opponents, July 8, the date first
selected, is abundantly early, afford
ing all needed time for the prose-
cution of the campaign. But the
Democracy is the dominant party of
the country, and the feeling among
the members of the party naturally is
that it should take the initiative in the
great national contest, and proudly
proclaiming its principles and naming
its candidates. proceed positively and
aggressively into the campaign. De-
ference to that feeling, which is an
outgrowth of conscious strength, re-
quired the choice of an earlier date
than that named by the Republicans.

Triumphant Democracy Ready to DO Up
the Bloody-Shirt Macbeths.
The Democratic Presidential cam
paign is to cover twenty-five weeks
this year. The convention is to be held
June 5, which is two or three weeks
earlier than usual, and month earlier
that was at first intended.
In thus changing the programme SO
as to be first in the field the Democratic
managers acted wisely. 1t is by usage
incumbent upon the party in power
to make the first nomination, and it
would have seemed like lack of conf
dence if the Republicans had been al.
lowed to move first. And it would not
have been wise. The Democracy, hav-
ing given the country the purest and
ablest Administration since the war, is
in a position to force the fighting.
Another thing. If the campaign is
to be conducted upon the aggressive
| lines which President Cleveland with
his usual courage has laid down, time
is needed for thorough discussion, Ito
clear away in the minds of the people
the misrepresentation with which the
the Republican press and leaders will
seek to obscure the issue. The cam
paign in that event must be essenti-
ally an educating one for the masses of
the people, and for that long cam
paign is better than short one.
AS to the place in which the conven-
ton is to be held, there could not have
been better choice than st. Louis. 1t
is the most central city in the country.
1t is lucky city, too, for the Democ-
racy; for twelve years ago Tilden and
Hendricks were nominated there, and
they were triumphantly elected at tho
polls, though afterwards deprived Of
their offices by bribery, perjury, for
gerry and open violations of the consti-
tuition.
The Democratic National Commit
tee has followed up we'll the good be-
ginning made by President Cleveland.
Now for bold, aggressive campaign

THE FACE AT The WINDOW.


When the horrid darkness gathers over all the
dreary skies,
And the snow flakes fiutter round us like the
ghosts OF butterflies,
What sweet fancies and fond wishes uroind the
weary heart and brain,
When the face that waits our coming throbs
against the window pane.
There's the baby's, soft and rosy rs the blush
upon the peach,
With her dimpled fingers clutching at the flakes
Just out OF reach,
Till her curly head awcary mnmmas loving
bosom bears,
And she dreams tho dancing snow flakes in her
fingers turn to tears.
There's the prince OF mothers kingdom in top
boots and roundabout,
With the melody OF childhood ringing In his
happy shout;
How the joys that wait tomorrow dance before
HIS sparkling eyes,
In the snowy treasures dropping from the mel
nncholy skies.
There's the darling blue.eyed sister with her
curls OF shining gold,
Pure as when the angels kissed her farewell
from the upper fold
With that look of wistful longing in her pure
For message in the snow flakes whirling hither
out of space
There's another waits his coming at whose step
the bushes start,
Whose faint football in the cleaning finds an
echo in her heart
Goddess of the wheel and distar, weaver at
life's mystic loom,
In that holiest OF holies, in the paradise Of
home.
Dream ye not in arts ateier Of vision to be
caught
With such holy passions haunted and such soul
OF love inwrought
As that glowing picture painted on the throb-
bing heart and BRAIN
When the forms we love and cherish crowd the
ntry window pane.

PRACTICAL FORESTRY.
Tree-Planting n Labor That Returns
Good Rate of Interest.

Tree-Planting n Labor That Returns n
Good Rate of Interest.
This much certainly Is practicable:
That the land grow only valuable trees;
and that land which can not be culti-
waited profitably be put in trees. The
average forest growth might be three
times as valuable. 1t is badly distrib-
uted-bare spots and crowded spots.
On the first, q thick sod prevents a
natural growth; but enough trees can
soon be planted. Thinning out the
dense, stunted growth will much inn
prove it, and usually only nearly
worthless trees need be cut out. Our
woodlands contain many trees that
have no value for lumber, and scarcely
any for fuel. Valuable trees ought to
be growing in their places, or have the
space for their better development. If,
to thin properly, valuable trees must
be cut take the worst-formed and least
vigorous. No tree that will not make
good rails OF posts should grow; for a
tree that will make good rails and
posts will take its place, and the limbs
and knotty parts of such trees will fur
nish all the fuel needed. 1t is best to
foster the growth of valuable trees of
the kind growing naturally on the
land, for it is certain that the soil and
climate are adapted to these trees.
Nearly every nut tree makes valuable
lumber, and the nuts will bring an in
come while the trees grow.
Dressing the woodland in the way
contemplated above necessitates little
extra labor; but it requires that the la
Dor be intelligently applied. Trees for
rails, posts and fuel must not be cut by
chance. Those of least value and vigor
are to be selected for fuel and such
uses. and when trees furnishing the
best timber must be cut, they should be
taken from among the thickest growth.
The usual winter timber cutting, thus
directed, will accomplish at least two
thirds of the work; and of the other
third, good part can be done in
winter and early spring, when there is
time for it. Not little land now
cultivated would better be in trees.
Hillsides that wash easily, have been
cleared of oil by rains, and fertilizers
applied to them are half thrown in the
creeks. These hillsides are hard tc
cultivate and yield poor crops. Some
of them are so cut up that they can not
be cultivated at all with horses. Trees
do best in good soil, yet they will
grow OH these hillsides. AS soon al
they have fair start, grass may bt
made to grow by using fertilizers, and
the grass and roots of the wees viii
prevent the washing by rain. while thu
leaves from the trees, and natura
forces, will deepen aud enrich the soil
Although the best timber growth cal
never be expected on these hills, ye
trees that will yield more profit thai
cultivated crops can be grown by lit
tie care, He who plants tree put
labor out at good rate OF interest.
