DEMAND FOR THEM At PRESENT.


A. L. Morris, manager Of the Beaver
lake Copper Mining compmy's pos
essions arrived in the city this morn
ng after an absence in the North and
East OF nearly four weeks, during
which time he has been placing min
ng stock and attending to other mat
ors connected with the manipulation
If n number of properties In which
he Is interested. In an interview with
News" reporter this morning Mr..
Norris said:
Eyes. Pm back. and that, too, after

towns of Chicago. Minneapolis, St
Paul. st. Louis. Duluth, Superior and
surrounding locality, where. speaking
airly, things are decidedly quiet, al
.hough recently stir has been
treated through speculation in wheat.
AS to mining there is quite demand
for gold and copper properties,
especially the latter. and I found that
m this demand, Utah stood well to the
front as a center from which the great
EST degree of satisfaction could come.
I went East for the purpose Of plac-
ing the stock of the Beaver Lake, King
Carver, Skylark. Horn Silver Tunnel
and Copper Mountain companies, ana
in this my trip has been highly sue
ressful, as disposed of good number
Of shares, to parties who have great
faith in the Beaver Lake district.

The advance In wheat has had n good
deal to do with IT. \ short while back
The towns which I visited were hotbeds
Df goldbugs, but now it is vastly DIFF
ferent. decided change has been
brought about ana the sentiment Is
growing in favor OF a double standard.
Around the lakes this change Is especi..
ally evidel., MS also at Milwaukee and
pther sectio.'s whore the single gold
standard once held full sway
Mr.. Morris was up In Montana yes
terday and went through the famous
Anaconda mine, property noted Tor
It's production OF copper The gentle
man states that while the mine IN
famed as a copper producerlts mineral
shows only az per cent of the metal,
while its silver and gold showing is
far ahead of the values received IN
conner. The Calumet-Hecla shows
and 4 per cent in the copper. con-
trasting these showings with that OF
the Beaver Lake, the Montana
properties are simply not in H.
saws Mr.. Morris, as the Beaver
lake ground has never showed less
than s per cent In copper and has
yielded mineral going as high ne Al
Ger cent In the metal. The Eentle-
man says that Beaver Lake Is very
much in evidence In the East and
eapital is speedily becoming Interested
in the district. He looks for the
lamp to assume an air Of vigorous ac-
.ivity In the near future and says that
The companies in which he Is interest

Milk clean. That is to say, first clean
yourself thoroughly. Have Your clothes,
your skin, your hands and your nails
clean. Next wipe off the cows udder

Answer. The Babcock test shows the
actual amount of butter fat produced
by the COW, aud no fixed rule can be
laid down for calculating the proper
ton Of butter, us that depends on the
system of cream raising, the skill and
care OF the butter maker and the guam
tity Of moisture left IN the butter. In
these days of centrifugal swimming

be recovered, and if rich cream is pro-
duaed there need be hut little loss in
the buttermilk Thus we are able to
come TO very fair estimate of the but
ter yield Accepting the standard Of Sc
per cent Of rutter fat in the butter, on
this basis you should add 10 per cent to
the butter fat, thus giving in your case
50 pounds of milk testing per cent, or
1.7d pounds Of butter fat, plus . per
cent, or 30 pound, making about .
pounds of butter, or ole pound of but.
ter for one pound of milk testing per
cent of fat You will understand that
this is only approximate. The expert
ment stations have adopted the standard
of l l-G-that is, for every pound OF
butter fat they add one-sixth of pound
and call it butter, This formula would
make it Ito pounds plus one-sixth. OF
