The Rise Rn Whont.

Wheat has suddenly taken turn
upwards and is now at figure at
which the farmers can afford to raise
it and there is a better feeling in
every direction. The San Francisco
Call, commenting sditorially on the
outlook, says: The rise in the price
of wheat is undoubtedly tho most i'm
portant event that has happened in
the new year. 1t will affect society
SO widely that hardly any industry
will fail to feel its influence. The Of
feet, moreover, will be wholly bens-
fetal. Our commercial and indus
trial activities are so closely associ-
ated with ono another and all are so
largely dependent upon the conditions
of agricultural industries that the pros
perity now seemingly assured to the
farmers will be felt as a stimulus in all
departments of work and trade leading
to an upward movement in the prices
of products of all kinds.

The National Bimetallist says that
London authorities on the movement
of bullion estimate that shipments of
silver to Asia in 1896 amounted to
about G6, 900, 900 falling off as com
pared with recent years On the
other hand, exports to the continent
of Europe increased e2, 300, 900 over
the previous year. Mexican dollars
have been in good demand all the year
in the East, and tho price has closely
followed that of bar silver, with a
premium of about per cent in fa-
vor of the coin. The imports of gold
at London were large, amounting to
about $50, 900, 900, including Eli,

Biggest Industry in the World

The st. Louis Reporter says: Stock
raising is legitimate business and it
has it's ups and downs. The country
will some day pass all records of pro-
duction and consumption. Had any
man in 1882 predicted the cattle sup
ply of 1892 he would have been con-
sidered driveling idoit. If the scat
tie shortage" should bring us back to
the supply of 1882 we would soon
draw on South America and Australia
for cheap meat, and in the event of a
continued scarcity we might have to
live on Nelson Morris 81 Co.'s canned
rabbits from Australia, and rabbits
would have to be very cheap or We
would not be able to get any. The
healthiest sign of the cattle business
is that the population of the country is

Nevada Mining Property.

Daily the value of Nevada mining
property becomes better known and
much capital is looking over the
mountains of this State. Why not?
Nevada is the newest of all the min
ing States and will before another
year be in the lead as a gold producer
and yet there is more mineral land not
yet prospected in Nevada than in any
other section of the union. Lead,
copper and other minerals are found
here in illimitable quantities, and in
time big smelters will be running to
their fullest capacity. A well known
mining main said the other day, eff

necessary, to prospecting in Nevada.

this was done because he refused to
lend himself to the savage and cruel
Spanish element in Cuba that is striv-

declares that "Spain has lost the
Americas because of the Spaniards
themselves" and he avows his belief
that Cuba will be lost by the same
Bourbonism. 1t certainly looks so
now.

Cheap Mining and Milling,

In the matter of cheap mining and
milling, tho Camp Floyd district will
bear comparison with any other i'll the
world. The writer has seen ID ore
mined and milled in tho district at
profit of 30 per ton, while the maxi
mum cost, including long haul, is but
$50. Those familiar with the con-
ditions at the various mines estimate
the average cost at about $3.50 for
mining and milling. Instances of
cheaper production than this are on
record, but they are extremely rare.
Four dollar ore yield good returns il
the Black Hills, and in California,
under very favorable circum stances,
ore yielding only 81 per ton has been
quarried and milled at a profit, the
coat of milling by water power not ex-
ceeding 50 cents per ton. But there
is probably no other field in the world
containing such vaat ore bodies of SO
high values where the ST Of produc-
ton is as low as it is in the Camp
Floyd district. Inter Mountain Min

DEATH OF MRS WATSON.

Mrs Hobart ". Watson, wife of Auditor Watson of the Philadelphia, k 'adinR & New England Railroad O., died at her home on High Street in thi> village about 9 o'clock on TuesdaN morning, aged nearly A years. Mr. Watson was taken i'll on Saturday, Jan 18th. At first the attack seemed to @ indigestion, to which she was subiecte9 !, and which had heretofore yielded to remedies which she. kept at hand. About 3 o'clock the next morning it be- came evident that the services of a physician were needed, and Dr Church was summoned. He gave relief, and until Tuesday nothing very serious was anticipated. Ol Wednesday, however, alarming symptoms developed and on Thursday Dr Lane of Great Burlington, was called in counsel He could off-r 10 hope of recovery but he came again on Friday. Dr Church thought the patient was suffering from 8 cancerous growth in the lower part of the stomach. The autopsy. on Tuesday afternoon, proved that Dr Church had correctly diagnosed the case.
 Mir and Mrs Watson and daughter, Miss Mabel, mdved from Bridgeport to Canaan about seven years ago. Mrs Watson was very active. and industri- ous lady, and, while not neglecting her household duties, she was identified with the social life of the village, and she frequently entertained friends at her home With her own hands she made many fancy articles which she generously gave to church fairs. She will be sadly missed, and the afflicted husband and daughter have the sy mpa- thy of the entire community.
 Mrs Watson's funeral will be attend ed at her late residence to- day at m. Rev F. ". Barnett will otficiate h accordance with Mrs Watson's request the services will be brief and no eulogy pronounced. Interment at lower ceme- tery.
 Complying with Mrs Watson's request the NEWS mentions her as briefly as possible and publishes no obituary.
