THE COLO FIELDS OF UTAH.
Their Great Possibilities.

To the diversity Of its mineral re-
sources does Utah particularly attribute
its coming greatness. Within a dis
tance of 40 miles from Salt Lake City.
in the district known as Camp Floyd,
the Mercur camp is making great
strides toward fame. It is the only
rival Of Cripple Creek in the west, and
while Its ore bodies are different in
character from those of Cripple Greek,
the ore area Is 30 extensive in dimen-
sion that the future Of the camp lie not
problematical but assured. The Mer-
cur mine. a control in which was re-
Gently bonded for 81 200 900, is the min
ing marvel Of the age. 1t has been pay
ing dividends on the basis Of $300, 900
per wear. Recent development has
uncovered the ore body in the neighbor-
ing bills for . distance OF over eight
miles, and indications point to one OF
the richest and most extensive gold
aslds the world has yet seen. To reach
this camp. take the Bio Grsnde West
ern railway to Salt Lake City.
Very unlike the Mercur Is the Marys-
vile district, $50 miles south Of Salt

Time no cut Alfhlfa.


j. Dryden, Of the Utah Agricultural
College says:
Utah has an ideal climate for curing
hay. We ought to make better hay than
in any eastern state; and yet, with prop
Or care and handling, it is safe to say
that the value Of our hay crop could be
increased from 25 to so per cent. The
question as to the proper time 10 cut
alfalfa is one Of the most important, and
probably the least understood. In too
many cases, instead of the farmer wait
ing for the crop to mature, the crop has
10 wait the convenience of the farmer.
He does not realize the great Importance
of cutting it at the proper time.
There is no hay any better than alfalfa
when properly cured, and cut at the
right time. Authorities differ as to the
stage Of ripeness at which any Of the
hay crops should be cut. There are few
recorded experiments on this point
But all seem to recognize the necessity
of early cutting. How early seems to
be the debatable point. In Utah, among
the best farmers the practice is to cut
early when the hay is intended for dairy
cows, and not 90 early for horses. When
alfalfa reaches q certain stage Of ripe
ness, it rapidly deteriurates in quality.
It soon becomes hard and hbrous.- sud
stock will discard half of 1t in the man
ger. There is thus a great loss in over
ripe alfalfa.
An interesting experiment on feeding
steers on alfalfa cut at different stages
of ripeness is reported in bulletin 81 Of
the Utah experiment station. One set
Of steers was fed from Dec. lS to Feb.
2l on alfalfa cut before 1t came into
bloom. Another set was fed alfalfa cut
In early bloom and, . third set, COM
pletely out Of bloom. The results were
very decidedly in favor of the early-cut.
The steers fed on earlv-cut made an av-
erage gain Of ( lb day; those fed on
medium-cut made an average gain of
Id, and those fed on late-cut I ID . day
Set gained 29s lbs; set 2, 1856 lbs; set
8. 81 lbs. The table giving the amount
of hay eaten by each set shows that the
early-cut was best relished. This set
ate 5sO2 lbs. The steers fed on medium
cut ate $3.50 lbs, and the set on late cut
5e41 lbs.
This experiment would show that one
ton of early-cut alfalfa produces as much
beef as two tons Of late-cut. Prof. San
born. the writer OF the bulletin referred
to, states that this experiment ID not In
accord with trials made by him with tim
othy, and not in full accord with expert.
ments with red clover. Tho experiment
is valuable one, and should be contin.

Affair.

A business Meeting, and n Social
AFFAIR.
Guyton. Ga. Sept. 12.-The Guyton Mu-
tual Loan and Investment Company held
its fifth annual stockholders meeting
Thursday afternoon. There were repre-
scented 255 shares of stock. President w.
B. Nell called the meeting to order and
read his report in which he stated that
the directors had not made very vigorous
efforts to enlarge the business of the com
pany, thinking it best to move along slow
ly and surely during the hard times. He
thought that the company althoaght
small, is in better condition than many
organizations of similar character. He
also said that larger dividend
is declared this year than last,
viz: Nine cents per share per month.
Treasurer C. d. Rogers read his report,
showing that the company has had the
largest and most prosperous year of Its
existence. The number of shares added
during the year was 1902; the amount of
loans added for the year, $500; dividend
declared, 20 per cent. There Is a large
amount of money loaned on property
which is safely invested, and there is
considerable cash on hand. The manage
ment has been business-like and the re-
port was satisfactory to all present.
The young men of the town gave a sup
per to the young ladies last night, which
was success in every way. The supper
was given at the residence of Mrs. Angus
E. Bird, under whose direction arrange
ments were made. The table was hand
somely decorated. Mrs. Bird was assist
ed by her two little daughters, Misses En-
mie and Daisy Among the games played
was one that especially attracted atten-
tion All present were conducted into
room containing tables upon which were
placed one or more articles, and from these
one wrote upon cards what these articles
suggested. To illustrate, there was plate
containing a little tea upon which were
placed a few tacks. This suggested the
''tea party in Boston harbor, forerun-
ner of the American revolution. Miss Ma
bel Pursely won the first prize, a hand
some hat pin, and Miss Bessie Green the
"booby," a thimble.

SILVER AND BRITISH TRADE.
A Certified Copy of the London FL
nanciaI News Article Received.

Chicago, Sept 1.-THE campaign mana
gers at the democratic national headquar-
tiers were elated to-day at the receipt from
Durant Press Cuttings, a responsible Lon
don concern, of a certified copy or the
much discussed and disputed article opSt-
ed from the Financial News of London,
under date of April &c. 1894, which declares
"that If the United States was to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow, British trade
would be ruined before the year was out"
When the republican campaign man
ayers denied the authority of the article
and claimed to have received a denial Of
the same by the editor of the Financial
News, inquiry was made In London as to
whether the journal Of that date really
did contain such an article. The response
was received as above, and the editorial
in question Will now be spread broadcast
by the democratic managers and others
working for free silver.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-09-13

in the world could not produce anywhere
near sufficient gears for a maker.
Gear-cutting machinery had, therefore,
to be devised that would produce bevel
gears in which the pitch and lines of each
tooth would be theoretically and mechan-
ically accurate at every point. 1t is said,
however, that it will only be possible even
with these machines to produce a limited
quantity of bicycles with this equipment,
and that the great majority of the wheels
turned out by this firm next year will be
on the generally accepted line, equipped
with chain.
In support of the bevel gear it may be
said that dynamo-meter tests show that
under all degrees of applied power the
friction is less with the bevel gear than
it is with the best adjusted chain. This
would seem reasonable, for with the new
gearing there are theoretically only two
points of contact in the transmission OF
the power, while with the chain there is
the friction developed by the turn of
every link in contact with the sprocket
wheels in addition to the points of con-
tact on the teeth. There is also lost mo-
ton due to the sag of the chain.
When it is demonstrated that there is no
lost motion with the new gearing, that
there is less friction than with the chain,
that there is no noise, no breaking, no
wear or stretching and that every part is
protected from dust and dirt, making
guards and protecting devices unneces-
sary, the argument seems all in favor of
the new type.
While the Pope Manufacturing Com
pany does not see fit TO announce at this
time the exact form in which it will use
the bevel gear, a glance at the cut ac-
complaining this article will give a fair
idea of the thing. The usual crank shaft
carries, instead of the ordinary large
sprocket, a bevelled gear of suitable size,
meshing with which is a smaller gear,
the shaft of which passes either through
or over the right rear fork; the rear end
of this shaft carries another small gear
which meshes into a corresponding gear
on the rear hub, instead of the usual rear
sprocket. At each end this shaft is car
ried on ball bearings, which are arranged
in such way that wear can be taken
up without affecting the meshing of the
gears. The bearings for the hub and
crank are of the usual form. Once ad-
justed, there is seldom occasion to change
and when necessary it can be done as
readily as with any simple bearing.
During the past year the chainless type
of bicycle has received much attention in
Europe, and some remarkable records are
credited to ii, notable among which is that
of CASTOR Rivierre, in the famous Boil d.
Or race in Paris, Aug. s, when he rode 5S4
miles in twenty-four hours. No such rec
ord could have been made by man nearly
fifty years old on any only a perfect rum
ming machine. Other long distance races
have also recently won on bevel gear BIZ
