For the peace you have made my own,
And 'lIeartsease to me

Now it happened one day, a mortal,
In passing the garden by,
Saw the flowers were decked more gayly

Ms. MCKINLEY is reported to be very
much disturbed over the impending
raid upon the gold reserve by money
speculAtors. Evidently the admins.
trAtion does not accept the explana-
tion OF the organ Of the party that
the expectations of gold at this time
was expected. and that It is merely
one Of the natural symtoms Of trade.
This explanation, however, is made
every time such movement sets in.
The truth Is, that under the present
system, the gold reserve is at the
mercy Of the money traf3ckers, and
intelligent men on both sides Of the
financial question recognize the fact
that currency reform is imperative In

Water Rich i'll Copper.

One of the most interesting 81 gifts IN
the great mining town OF Butte Is the
process by which copper Is caught
from the emerald-colored water that
flows from the Anaconda and st
Lawrence mines. says the Anaconda
Recorder. 1t is estimated that this
water, which for four or five years
went to waste, is now bridging. the
Anaconda company $50, 600 a month, at
a cost of about $1,000 month.
1t is only within the present year
that The company undertook to handle
this water. Heretofore it was worked
under lease An old German named
Mueller was the first man to save the
copper from the water
During the last three years Thomas
Ledford had q lease on the water. He
paid % per cent royalty to the COM
pany 1t is claimed that he realized at
least $1,000 year from the water.
Ledford is a pretty rich man today.
Now that the company Is operating the
water on its own account 1t has dlscoV-
cred what a great money making en-
terprise it is.
At the present time several acres of
ground are covered with wooden waists.
| These are filed with all the old scrap
| iron they can hold. 1t has proved q
splendid scheme for disposing Of the
| tons and tons of old iron the company
has accumulated for years. Old hoist
| ing cages, water pipes, wheelbarrow5,
railroad iron, in fact any old thing thai
consists of tin or iron is appropriated
to this service.
1t is said for every pound of iron put
into vat pound of copper Is pro
| duced. Where the water first attacks
the iron the copper absorbs the iror
completely within three weeks. After
the precip itation is affected the water
is drawn off and the Shiny copper Ii
transferred TO another tank, where
the water is further drained off. These
latter watts hold about fifteen tons o
the copper, which now has the appear
ance of clayi sh substance. This /,
sacked into packages of about lOl
pounds When in this shape 1t is sen
to the smelters in this city The pro
duct carries an average of 96 per cen
