Now let MS see how the farmers have
suffered by the enormous depreciation
in the price of their products ANY
candid person must concede that all the
availa BILE interests farmer has in crop
is what it will sell for above the cost OF
production. If the cost OF production
exceeds the price, which is generally
the case at the present time, then the
farmer is doing business at a loss, and it
is only question of time and the lien
ency of his creditors as to how soon he
will be turned adrift and branded by the
money lords as man who does not pay
his "honest debts. George Peckham

One Liar.

The San Francisco Chronicle says: AT
Wadsworth the train was surrounded by
men, women and children, comprising
the entire population. Charles D. Lane,
chairman of the California delegation,
was given three hearty cheers as he ap-
speared on the platform of the vestibule
train. Mr.. Lane said that no matter
where he might be or what would be
his condition in life, the town OF Wads-
worth, Nevada, could always have a
warm place in his heart. Some people
said of him that he was one of the
largest gold miners in the world, and the
town of Wadsworth served him as a
reminder that there was time in his
life when that could not be said. Twenty
five years ago with a mule team he
hauled out tofWadsworth lot OF machin-
cry to a mine, and the result of the
effort was that he was $4,000 worse off
than before he started in. "
Mr.. Lanes remarks we're received with
manifestations of great satisfaction and
approval, and as the train pulled out 100
throats proposed three cheers for Charley
Lane of California.

THE GREATEST GOLD FIELD.
Milwaukee Owners Get F1attering Re.

milwaukee, owners Get Flatterfng Ro'
ports Regarding Saw Pit Mines.
The San Juan Gold Mining company
continues to receive the most f1attering
reports as to the value of it's gold mines
ut Saw Pit, the new Leadyille. The
pany have secured some of the very best
mines in that marvellous district, which
is now regarded as the greatest gold field
in the entire world, excepting neither
Cripple Creek nor any other section of
Colorado.
In the interests of number of protni-
nent Wisconsin men who have become
interested in the San Juan company, Jo-
seph Mackedon, miner with more than
a quarter of a century of active expert
ence, the man who discovered and de-
veloped the Mollie Gibson and the best
gold mines Of Leadville, and who has
had twenty-five years of active expert
ence as to mines in same formation as
Saw Pit, has just completed a thorough
inspection and scientific investigation of
the company's properties at Saw Pit.
In the course of a lengthy official re-
port, made to p. j: Somers, he says:
"Now, am of the opinion, after look
ing the situation over carefully, and at
my leisure, that the property is a safe
investment, and this dyke being so close
in, makes the property more valuable,
as the dyke was the Immediate cause
of the fnulting and slipping. In
conclusion, will say as proposition to
develop a paying mine, such as the dis
trict produces, you can do no better"
This means much for the properties,
as Mr.. Mackedon considers the mines
of the district in question second to none
in Colorado. The opinions of Mr.. Macke-
don, who did so much to develop Lead
vile, will 20 great way with the Wis
consin people who have become identified
with the San Juan company, or who
are contemplating such 4 step. His is

other acknowledged judges and experts.

GREAT MINING SCHEME,
Placers in New Mexico to be Worked OH
an Extensive Scale.

Placers in New Mexico to be Worked OH
an Extensive Scale.
The largest hydraulic mining deal, and
one of the largest of any kind that New
Mexico has ever known, will be put
through in a few days, says an AIbu-
aminer. The deal is now virtually Il Ger
tainty. The scene of operations will be
the placer fields east of Hillsboro. in 81
ezra county. These placers have been
worked in a small way on the surface by
Mexicans since 1874. and although no
water has been obtainab BILE and the gold
has been extracted by dry washing, the
miners have made good wages.
The people have been prospecting the
ground and studying the problems in
volved for six months and have spent
$4,000 in preliminary work. Their en-
gineers and hydraulic experts from Cali
fornia have made favorable reports. The
auriferous gravel bed is about sixty feet
thick, covers 1000 acres, and is all pay
dirt. The operators have secured much
of this by purchase and have options on
the rest and the options will be taken
up in few days. Water for working
mines will be impounded at the head Of
the Animas river by a dam $50 feet high,
and will be conducted to the placcrs
through fourteen miles of thirty-inch riv-
eted steel pipes and discharged through
monitor nozzles under a pressure of $50
pounds.
After doing it's work in the banks and
sluices, the water will be conducted to
basins, where the debris will be dropped
and then impounded again in Il reservoir
in the mesa formed for damming the
Percha. From this reservoir irrigation
canals will conduct the water to about
$4,000 acres of arabic land between the
mesa and the Rio Grande. The estimat-
ed cost of the enterprise. including the
purchase of the ground and the construc-
ton of dams and pipe lines. is about
$5OO.OOO and if the gravel averages but
few cents to the cubic yard the yield
will be up in the millions The deal is
now in such shape that there is every
reason to believe the work of building
dams and pipe lines will be started by the
list of August

PLUG FISHING BARRED.

Maine Waters from Which the Fly Gas.
ters Have Driven Users of bait.
The Maine fish and game commission
have granted Il petition to close South
Bay stream and the pool between Round
and Dodge ponds to the users of the
angleworm. The petition was got up by
fly fishermen, who said that bait fishing
for sDeckled beauties was unsportsman-
like.
"Plug fishing." is what they called bait
using, and their description of it was
not calculated to make the bait fisher
men love the fly casters.
''Plug fishing" they say. ''is where
they take a spruce pole some fifteen feet
long with big hook and sinker Oh the
line. They just put on a big COB of
angleworms. and then bob for the trout"
1t seems that no mention was made of
the eight or nine ounce rods, costing
many dollars. which manufacturers put
on the market for trout bait fishing.
The bait users do not admit that there
is more sport in fly casting than in bait
fishing for trout, and do not often admit
that fly fishing is more artistic.-New

Novelty for Bicycle Riders.

An electrician says he has found a
quicker way of making IL fortune than
running wires and selling batteries, and
judging from appearances he has good
reason for the statement. He has erect
ed platform 100 feet long and 10 feet
wide at the end of cycle path. Down
this platform is ranged series of push
buttons, which are connected through
battery to an electric bell, and an an
nunciator. The rider, having paid 10
cents, starts at one end and tries in rid
ing down the line to depress as many Of
the buttons as possible. When a button
is struck the bell rings. and the annun-
GATOR registers the particular button.
The rider who is successful in guiding
his wheel tire over all the push buttons
wins so cents. This new diversion has
created an extraordinary furore. The
lucky inventor has organized a company
which will sell the platforms outright
and give territorial protection to pur-
chasers during the life of the patent
AS drawing card for owners of seaside
and country pleasure resorts, the new
diversion would seem to be unique-New

Ezra Meeker of this city received en-
couraging news from Fred Meeker, his

inlet He writes, under date of May 10,
that III prospect hole started after
clearing away ten feet of snow hundreds
OF colors and small pieces of coarse gold
were found. The Indications were con-
sidered very favorable, as the shaft WAS
not down to bedrock. This undoubtedly
solves the problem of whether hundreds
of miners at Cooks inlet will find gold in
paying quantities.
Meeker tells of seeing washed from
two shOvelsful Of earth twelve chunks of
gold varying from d grain of wheat to Il
pea. Such dirt will pay well to work
even by hand. and during the summer
sluices can readily be worked. Better
results are expected when warmer
weather permits prospecting in the creek

Turnips for Winter Feeding.

The quick-growing white and strap
leaved turnips may be sown any time
this month, but it is better to get them
in early. They make very rapid growth
and are not good keepers, as they will
turn pithy by January if put where they
they are put in pits. But knowing this
fact the turnips can be fed early, saw
ing other fodder until later in the sea-
son. Farmers, whose cows grow dry
from December until March, can use Il
good many turnips as cow feed without
cndangering the taste of milk or but
ter. 1t is better for the COW while bear
ing young to have a laxative diet En-
silage supplies this, and so also do roots.
The chief advantage of the turnip crop
is that it can so easily be grown as a
catch crop in corn, sowing the seed after
the last cultivation, and trusting to rains
to cover it'enough to make it terminate.

WANT MORE LOAD-LINE.
Hartlepool Shipowners Complain of VI
lust Restrictions.

HartlepOO1 ShipOwners Complain of I'm
just Restrictions.
A serious question in British maritime
interests is the increasing sale of British
vessels to foreign purchasers for the rea-
son that the original owners cannot make
them pay under present conditions. Mr..
Woman, secretary of the Hartlepool
Shipowners' society. has looked into the
matter, and he finds that the restrictions
placed upon certain classes of British
ships before they are allowed to sail
are such that only the foreigner. who is
not subject to these conditions, can make
the ships pay. The chief point at issue
seems to be the question of loadline:
the foreigner puts in a cargo 100 to 200
tons heavier than the British owner is
permitted to do. AS the foreigner can
also save not little in wages and the
cost of provisions. his total gain in year
upon the present price of one Of these
vessels, above the profits if any of the
ship, under the British flag is estimated
by Mr.. Yeoman to be 1917 per cent
The seriousness of this question is indi-
Gated in the fact that in four and one
quarter years the Hartlepool shipowners
have sold to foreigners forty-four steam
ships of a total of 62.S77 tons. AS one
remedy for this condition of affairs it is
proposed to give the British shipowners
more liberty in the matter of lOadline,
while still maintaining the care to mini

that this country produces enough lem

California will probably have in few

ply the demand for one month. Florida
will also be an exporter, probably, with

but sell to spectators, OF whom there
are about 200. The spectators pack

They buy the fruit as it comes from the
