The Belmont Mine Sold.

Interest in local mining circles
wos revived yesterday morning
when it was learned that D. Rus
sell Morris, owner of the Belmont"
ouartz mining claim, a very prom
ising property on Moscow noun
tain, about eight miles from the
city, had sold the property to the
G,ld Bug Mining and Milling COM
pany of Cleveland, Ohio, the price
paid being $4,000 cash. The sale
was made through Mr.. w. c. Lau-
der of this city.
The company purchasing the
Belmont" is heavily interested in
Moscow mountain mining prop
ositions, and will be factor in
bringing this section to the front
in the near future.
1t is just as certain that some
good paying properties will be de
veloped in these mountains as it is
that they have been discovered in
other localities. The Moscow noun
tain district offers a good field for
investment, and we expect ere long

Wheat

The wheat sensation of the week
has been the practical bursting of
what was probably the greatest
manipulation ever attempted. The
bull clique in Chicago, headed by
Letter, has been compelled to sue
comb and what a few weeks ago
was simply question of counting
the millions in profits, now resolves
itself into a desperate struggle to
avoid bankruptcy and ruin. Fac
ing magnificent crop prospects all
over the world, continued surpluses
in America, Russia and Argentine,
it became impossible to longer de-
lude the foreign buyer with exhor,
bitant values and the inevitable
has come. The consequence will
be to send wheat prices down far
below legitimate level as usual
when the support of imitation IS
withdrawn, and wheat will enter
the next season at price far be
low what would have been the case
had the prince of speculation kept
off the market.
Beyond slight drought in Aus
tralia, the worlds prospects are for
an enormous yield, with liberal
srrpluses in all exporting countries.
The Pacific Northwest has enjoyed
exceptionally fine weather and
promises to produce a great crop.
The only unfavorable reports are
of damage to Oregon white winter
wheat sown in May and June near
Garfield, but the area ofthis wheat
is too small to be Of any accountin
the aggregate yield, or even in
Whitman county, Washington will
have an out-turn of close to Co.,
600 tons of wheat unless future de-
velopments are ofuneXIectedly UNI

California is making better
showing and a crop of 100000 tons
with 100000 tons for export is not
now considered an eXorbitant es-
timate.-West Coast Trade.

Suicide of r. D. Mcconnell

Moscow was deeply and sadly
stirred over the death, by suicide,
of R. D. Mcconnell, an old and

o'clock. At that time the report OF
a revolver shot issued from Mr..

Dakota Slim Freed.

Dakota Slim breathes the free air
once more, says the Colfax Gazette.
The charge of completely in the
murder of Orville Hayden at Far
mington last October was dismissed
upon the motion of Gose q Kuyken-
dali, representing Prosecuting At
torney Mathews, when the case was
called for trial at Pomeroy last
Monday morning, and the man who
so nearly met death at the hands
of the mob who hung his supposed
partner, Blacky Marshall, was set
at liberty. When asked by the
court if he wanted money to pay
his way back to Colfax Slim de-
INJURED. Il have had some very
unpleasant experiences there; and,
# it please the court, prefer to re-
turn to Dakota and enlist in Tor
vey's regiment of rough riders and
so to Cuba to help wipe the Span
iards from the face Of the earth"
fde was permitted to depart.
Slim was held st bis preliminary
examination principally upon the
evidence of young Allen Hutch,
who lives over the line back of
Pennington. He was one of the
boys held in the fence corner by
the footpads for an hour and half
prior to the murder Of Hayden.
He testified that he was held up
when he stepped out of the Klon-
dixie saloon and that the light fell
full upon the face of the man who
did it. That man he said posi-
lively was Dakota Slim, and that
he could not be mistaken.
A short time ago A. M. Craven,
one Of the attorneys appointed by
the court to defend Sim, induced
Hutch to go to the scene Of the
murder and show the spot where
lac was first helix up and where the
shooting occurred. His statements
did not agree with the testimony,
and he then confessed that he had
sworn falsely.
With Mr.. Craven he went before
Notary Public W. 7. Beck at Far
mington and swore to statement
that his testimony at the prelim-
mary was false. This was done in
the presence of his father, Mr..
Craven and Mr.. Beck.
Visited by Mathews the boy de-
MED having made the statement,
but Mr.. Mathews satisfied himself
that he did, and having no other
direct evidence upon which to pros
ecute dismissed the case.

''Mean natures always feel a sort oil

Grit is a permanent, solid quality,
which enters into the very structure, the
very tissues OF the constitution. A weak

JACK OF ALL TRADES.
The Farmer Must be a Uni

Everything.

The Texas Farm and Ranch silences
the guns OF that large force of superficial
critics who imagine farming to be simple
and who hold that intelligence and gen.
eral knowledge are not necessary to sue
cess therein. 1t observes editorially: A
farm should be a nation in miniature,
and its practical independence should be
recognized and maintained. This is nee
-essary in order that the reward OF well
directed labor may be enjoyed. The
merchant need only to buy judiciously
and sell at profit. That is all there is
to his business. The banker lends
money, discounts notes and buys and
sells exchange. He may be successful il
he knows nothing else. But it is differ
ent with the farmer his business invol-
yes multitude OF separate factors. His
estate is an omnium-gatherum which

foreign help, he is far from the indepen-
dence he should enjoy. Workshops and
tools for wood aud iron and leather
should be as distinctive a feature OF
every farm as land aud fences, barns and
stock, vehicles and Implements. Be-
cause no farm can be run without
mechanical labor, a farmer should, as far
as possible, have practical training found
ed upon scientific principles.

SPRAY YOUR TREES.
Spraying Increases The Market Value Of
all Fruit Crops

Large orchardisis have estimated in
the case OF the apple crops that spraying
will protect from fifty TO seventy five per
cent. Of the fruit, which would otherwise
be wormy, and that the market price hss
increased at least 81, and sometimes as
much as 81 so per barrel, the cost Of
spraying being from seven to eighteen
cents per tree, including labor and spray
ing material In the case mentioned by
@. L. Marlatt OF an orchard in Virginia,
only one-third OF which was sprayed, the
result was an increase in the yield Of
sound fruit in the portion treated Of
nearly fifty per cent, and an increase OF
the value Of this fruit over the rest of 100
per cent. The loss from not having
treated the other two-thirds was estimat-
ed at $500 The saving to the plum
crop and other small fruits frequently
amounts TO the securing of perfect crop

SORE MOUTHED PIGS.
A Valuable Hint to Farmers Raising
Hogs.

The disease known as liberated sore
mouth is prevalent among young pigs
throughout the country, and in some
sections is affecting older swine. The
symptoms are ulcers un the inside and
outside of the lips, but most frequently
on the inside lip near the line OF union
with the jaws and in front of where the
lips unite. Occasionally they appear on
the outside of the lips and will then be
found about the nose or the extremity OF
the lower lip. The ulcers are round,
light colored spots extending deeply in
to the lip, enlarging as the disease ad-
vances. Sometime the eyes become in
famed and filled with matter, the lids
sticking out.
The disease is supposed to be due to
the contract Of the mouth with germi-
mated filth, and plainly the prevention
OF the disease is clean pens and yards.
AS soon as the ulcers appear they
should be touched with per cent So
luton of silver nitrate, using small
swab for the purpose, and the mouth
washed out with a weak solution OF
boracc acid. II this remedy is applied
early most OF the infected pigs may be
saved. After the disease makes its APP
pearance in herd, the udders of the
SOW should be washed thoroughly be-
fore narrowing, and the pigs watched
carefully 80 that the treatment may be
applied in time.-Ex.

DlSCREDlT THE CITY
Louisville Officers Responsible
For Boycotting Kentucky
Asphalt.

The Louisville Post, which has been
fighting the asphalt combine in yigor-
Gus manner for months, in an editorial
headed, "The State Must Be Heard"
says, in part:
Here in Kentucky we have deposits OF
asphaltic rock which makes the best
streets in the world. Altogether the
best streets in Louisville have been
made with this material, as any will see
who will compare Breckinridge street
with First or Third street
II here in Louisville we decree an
open door to the rock asphalt of Ken
lucky, we open the door elsewhere, and
develop immensely one of the natural
resources of Kentucky, benefting alike
ourselves and the people of Kentucky.
The significance OF this contest is rec
ognized by the people of Louisville and
the people of Breckenridge county. Our
own officers discredit the city through
out the State by boycotting this Ken
lucky product.
"As long," says the Breckenridge
county News, "as Louisville will discrim-
mate against the products OF the State Of
Kentucky then that long will it stand in
the way OF its own growth.
''The provincialism of Louisville has
made it egotistic. Were the city to have
its way in all things the State would be
subordinate to its chief municipality.
There is no such word, in the lexicon of
Louisville, apparently as reciprocity"
These are bitter words, more bitter
than the occasion justifies, for it is not
Louisville that is boycotting the State on
this matter, it Is a few men in public po-
siions who refuse TO redeem promises
made and implied when they were can
didates for Office.
The taxpayers Of Louisville are arTayed
against this combine, and are contending
for their own interests, for the interests
OF Kentucky and for the interest OF good
city government elsewhere.
-"
Though according to the report OF the
Inspector OF Mines in Kentucky, we
have in this State deposit OF the best
paving material of the world, which il
developed would destroy the asphalt
combine in every city in the Union, yet
at the behest of the Barber Company,
and to protect its interests, the city of
Louisville boYcotts the State.
