BIDS FOR THE BONDS.
They Were Opened Yesterday and Were

They Were Opened Yesterday and Were
Emineutly Satisfactory TO Secretary
Carlisle-Low Rate of interest.
The bids for the $4,000, 900 bond issue
recently offered by Secretary Carlisle were
opened at the Treasury Department yesterd ay
shortly before clock At O'Clock il WAS
stated at the department that a hurried cal
culation showed that the total number of
separate bids was 297, aggregeting S154 ,370,-
500.
The largest bid was the syndicate bid OF the
United States Trust Company. Drexel. Nor
gan g. Co., and others at S117077 for the
whole amount or none. This bid was the bot
offered. as the aggregate of bids above this
figure was only about $40. .324 ,150, leaving
about S39. SIS, $50 at less figure. 1t there
fore seems quite probable that the syndicate
bid will be accepted, although Secretary Car
Isle stated that he could not express an
opinion as to the result until next Monday.
when the awards will be made.
According to the terms OF this bid the gov
ernment will pay 2.S73 per cent. on the
50,0000 900, as against 3 per cent. carried by
the February issue. There is d possibility,
however. that close calculation viii disclose
the fact that there is sufficient number of
bids at better rate than this. which, with
the second syndicate bid at 116.sS98. or 2.S99
per cent, may make a combination slightly
more advantageous to the government than
the other, although this is very improbable.
Altogether the result of the bids is pre-
eminently satisfactory to the Treasury off,
cials, AS it shows that not only was there brisk
rivalry for the bonds. but the rate of interest
demanded was even lower than was gener-
ally expected. At no time during the pen
dency of the issue has Secretary Carlisle
doubted that it would all be eagerly taken
and at satisfactory rates.

rreatment of Aarlrerou. ryrIte..

\ process has been patented by MT
 Florence of Peak Hill. N S. w., for
 the treatment of aurlferous pyrites
 by decomposition, says the Mining
 Standard. The principle is said 10 be so simple in operation that no skilled
 labor is required. Briefly the inventor states. lt is Natures own mode of de- composition hastened by chemical means. lt is well known fact that heaps of auriferous tailings which have been left exposed to atmospheric influences for any length of time, will when tested by the dish, show pros poets of free gold. Impressed with this object lesson. and following up the clue thus given the inventor pro- poses to subject tailings to the fol- lowing treatments.
 First they must be concentrated, then dried and slowly calcined with ordinary agents. which finish the work of freeing thc gold Afterward, sim pie amalgamation isall that is needed The process of ealciuing frees the acid
 chiefly su,phuric which works it's own free will among the component parts Of the pYrites. When the acid has done it's work the sulphides will be found to have formed soluble sul- plates: and these. together with any alkalies that are not amenable to the heat. are neutralized and dissolved by the second part of the process. The product can now be placed in Chilian mill and ground, and quicksilver ad- ded in the usual way. After the sil- yer has been drawn off. the copper plate can be utilized to catch any lt- tie silverthat otherwise must not have been obtained in the drawing oIT. The whole process, says Mir. Florence, takes from one to four hours, accord ing to the nature of the stuff under treatment The fumes can be con densed. and the health of the work men protected. The cost in bulk. he states. will not exceed 20s to lOs per ion. and the lower price will be often

The Colorado Sun has this to say of us: "The common eastern impression of Arizona is that it is all a desert waste -parched plains and hills of burnt rock and that with the excep- tion of a few mines of gold and silver, she has no resources of wealth. But Arizona has wide valleys stretching along rivers that flow full and clear to the sea, capable of yielding q wealth of grain and fruit that is almost be- yond estimate The valley of the Col orado alone is larger and more fertile than the delta of the Nile, which was the chief support of the rarest and perhaps the richest of the eancient civ ilizations The valleys of the Salt and the Gila are each yet more ,eXten- Sive. Their water supply is not so abundant. but it can be made ample. These three valleys alone can support a population equal to that of Ohio"

A Veterans Opinion.


 nia is A. T. Hatch of Suisun. S0lano county. At his home place there he has about eight hundred acres of or chard. all his individual property. In association with others he has other large orchard interests which, if seg- regated, would amount in addition to the Susun property, to about more than two thousand acres in all.
 Mr. Hatch began life in California as a wheat grower, on a farm of l60 acres near Suisun. All he owns today is the result of his abandonment of wheat growing for the more remunera- tive business of fruit-growing.
 By this time. or before, other men had engaged Mir. Hatch in fruit-grow- ing enterprises as partners. being de- sirous of getting the benefit Of his knowledge and good judgment. He is essentially practical and has never wasted time0r energy in visionary en- terprises, and yet he found it worth while to experiment with the almond. of which he originated and cultivated experimentally as many as one hun dred different varieties. From these he selected number which he regard ed as superior to any of the standard sorts, and he has planted something like eleven hundred acres in almonds alone, in connection with his partner ship enterprises, as well as in the Sui sun orchards. He regards the Almond as one of the most profitable trees that can be grown.
 Prosperity has not hurt Mr. Hatch. He is one of the most unassuming of men and yet one of the most sturdy and independent. While too busy to answer the many letters of inquiry he receives, he is always ready to give desired information to those who per sonally seek him out and find him tenn porarly disengaged. A Bulletin re- porter found him at the Palace Hotel the other day and took advar tage of the opportunity to glean some facts and opinions for the general benefit.
 Does fruit-growing still pay?" was the first question asked.
 Yes, said the man of many orchards. it does. And yet this was compar- atiyely poor year. The fruit did not bring good prices in the east and the railroad service was miSerably slow | The fruit trains were slower than the year before. We complain less about l the freight rates than about the time consumed in hauling fruits to market. | The delays were outrageous. with | good quick train service and fair prices | by honest auction sales in the East, [ there is profit for the fruit-grower | even at present railroad rates. don't ! however. look for much improvement | in ther ailroad service until we get an | line, such as they have in California. They get better rates and better service down there . because of the competition between the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe"
 What do you regard as the best i fruits to plant?'
 In a general way would recom- ! mend the planting of such fruits and . of such varieties as may be sold in a . fresh or dried state or canned. In this way the grower has always choice of 1 methods of disposing of his fruits. If | he cannot do better he can dry his fruit himself, and this is always sure to pay if he understands his business. The dried fruit makes big saving in thc cost of transportation. By dry inu yuu reduce the weight of fruit |
