It would be interesting to know how
much timber is used yearly in the mining
industry. In the Anaconda mine alone,
near Butte, $4,000 feet Of timber are put
under the ground daily, or at rate of
O,OOO,O 600 year. At the smelling works
at Anaconda, belonging to the same COM
pany, there are 180 cords OF wood used
daily, or 85,700 cords year. Fer wood,
a 10000 cord contract is the smallest that
will be let, and contracts range in size
up to 100000 cords. Nearly 100000
cords of wood are kept on hand. All the
timber used for mining purposes can be
legally cut from government land, pri-
vilege that mining companies, it is hard
ly necessary to say, avail themselves of
when possible.-Mining Review.

worthy and reliable authority, we regret

urally strong constitution, now nearly
wrecked by the prodigious amount of Ia
Dor he has performed. Mr.. Daily has but
recently returned from the east, where
he had been for treatment for his eyes,
but the result was not as satisfactory as
could have been desired, and now, we
are informed, he will make sale, in the
spring, of his blooded stock, transfer his
immense business into other hands and
with his family sail for Europe, to be
gone Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
