The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1898-08-26

STAND up for America. Stand
up for Nebraska. Stand up for
Red Willow county. Stand up
for McCook. Stand up for every
honorable and useful organization,
social, religious, political, or COM
mercial with which you are con-
nected. Any half-hearted support
is unbecoming a man. If you
can't be sanctimonious, and rad
ical, and partisan, AND WE DON'T
""nE IT, be loyal to your own.
Shoot or give up n q Gun; don't
be a quaker gun" Maybe your
prayers are poor and faltering,
your bank account small and your
raiment common, but if you are
true and loyal to your engage
ments Of every sort, a multitude
of sins will thus be covered. Do;
don't tear down. Require nothing
you would not give. Be fair and
considerate of the rights of others.
Maintain your own rights like a
patriot. Be faithful.

COVINA

COVINA, Jan. 22.-(Regular Corre-
spondence) Ari Hopper, one of the best
known men of this valley, accidentally
shot himself with fatal results this
morning while rabbit hunting in the
wash south of Covina. Mr.. Hopper drove
down over the bank into the wash, when
his gun slipped out of the buggy, the
hammer striking the front axle, the
whole charge of No. shot lodging in the
old mans side. He at once told his
grandson that he was fatally shot, and.
getting out of the rig, sat ON the ground
and asked the boy to support him. The
lad then asked his grandfather if he
should go for help, and received a reply
in the affirmative. He jumped into the
buggy and went for J. o. Hepner, who
lives short distance from the scene
The Injured man lived about fifteen
minutes after help arrived. BY direc-
tion of the coroner the remains We're re-
moved to the dead mans residence to
await his arrival this evening. Mr. Hop
per had been accustomed to handling
guns all his life, having come across the
plains in '49 and having a record Of kill
ing over 100 bears.

Marcus paly and the Verde

Talk in Jerome is that Marcus Daily
of Montana will commence operations in
that vicinity next spring; that he will
build a railroad, put up smelter and
establish town in the Verde valley. OF
course, whenever people talk of man
of Daly's wealth they magnify the prob
able extent of his operations, but there
is ground for the belief that DAILY will
become interested in mines in the vicin-
ity of Jerome, If he has not already done
so II he does, that section will have an
other strong financial arm, just as
strong as the one which has already
made it what it is now, and the two COM
bined will bring it forward as mining
region superior to any in America in
point of prosperity and population, for
there are the mines. rich mines and
plenty of them, backed up by the great
Verde valley, a wonderfully productive
agricultural region-the two great in
dustries, mining and agriculture, being
sufficient to sustain a small empire in

REDLANDS, Jan. 23.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) AT it's regular meeting
this week the board of trustees received
check for 5000 from A. H. Smiley, to
be devoted to the library fund. The
check was accompanied by a request
that the former rate of mills on the
500 of assessed valuation, which has
been reduced to mills, be restored as
the city tax for the library fund. Mr..
Smiley suggested that it would be better
still to make the rate 10 mills, in order TO
meet the growing needs of the commun-
ity as regards the public library. The
check was accepted with thanks and Or
dered turned into the library fund, and
suitable acknowledgement made to the
donor.
The Facts has made canvass of the
Redlands packing houses and reports
that 919 cars have been shipped from
Redlands this season. 1t is estimated
that in the Redlands district alone the
crop will reach from 1850 to HOO car
loads. Therefore only about one-fourth
of the total crop has been shipped. The
average daily shipment for January has
been five carloads. orders are coming
slowly and most of the growers are un-
willing to sell at prevailing prices. All
Of the packers agree, from the facts as
brought out by the fruit taken to the
packing houses for shipment that there
is very little frozen fruit in Redands.

Two Ways of Mining

"There is all the difference" said an
old miner to Tucson Star reporter,
"the way some people carry on mining
business. One kind of men develop their
mines to see how much ore they have,
then get their machinery on the mines.
The other kind put their machinery on
their mines first, and then go a-hunting
after the ore. Now" continued he,
'there is case In point: An old mining
man, worth his millions, spent $4,000 in
developing a group of mines before he
purchased them, and for which he then
paid 100000; now he is going to expend
$4,000 more before he puts up his plant.
He has about $150,O00 of ore in sight
that is uncovered. Now, there Is a min
ing company operating not more than
forty miles from this property. 1t has
spent many thousands of dollars on
building a road. 1t has got from $4,000
to $4,000 worth of machinery on its
mines and in transit. and probably not
to exceed $4,000 worth of development
work, and at the very best estimate not
10000 worth of ore in sight. Do you see
the difference in the way people mine?'

The Copper Output

While the demand for copper during
1897 all over the world has continued
at the highest point known in history.
the production of the United States dur
ing the year just closed showed only a
comparatively small increase over that
of 1896, says the Phoenix Republican.
Arizona produced in 1896 73.745,3 ,321
pounds. while the output for 1897 was
so, ,401. 400 pounds, an increase Of 6.656, ,0SS
pounds, or per cent. or the total pro-
duction in 1897, the Montana mines pro-
duced AZ per cent; the Michigan mines
81 per cent; the Arizona mines 1876 per
cent; and all others 5.5 per cent. The
largest proportionate increase was 81
per cent in the output from other
sources, Arizona coming next with a
gain of per cent. The Michigan mines
increased their output less than per
cent, while in Montana there was a de-
crease of a little less than per cent in
production. The total production of
copper in the United States was ATS, 1885,
240 pounds, an increase of 7,715, 1867
pounds. AS indicating the wonderful
growth of the copper industry in this
Icountry it is shown that the production
from 1894 to 1897 increased SO per cent.

ing mines. The particular mines in this

very valuable, although they have never
been developed extensively.

New York's Guileless Policemen

Policeman Clayton E. Palmeiter of the
Elizabeth-street station halls from
Syracuse, N. Y, and has been less than
a year on the force Last Sunday morn
ing, being the last man of the Fourth
platoon to tumble into his cot, it de-
voIved upon him to turn off the gas. 1t
was about o'clock when he retired, and
q dozen men We're sound asleep in the
dormitory. Policeman Palmeiter blew
out the gas and was soon sound asleep.
The windows of the room were closed;
also the door, that the noise of the
mems heavy shoes as they walked
through the hallway should not disturb
their slumbers. For nearly two hours
the flow of gas poured from the burner,
when Detective Murphy went upstairs
to retire. AS he opened the door he was
met by a rush of gas that nearly Knocked
him down, and, hastily opening the win
dows, he proceeded to arouse the men.
Palmeiter admitted that he had blown
out the, gas, and when asked why, after
being shown how to turn it off, he is
said to by two policemen to have re-
piled:
well, that's the way we do up at
Syracuse"
Several of the policemen felt sick when
they turned out for the early tour, but
there were no other bad results.-New

The BuckeYe

The Buckeye mine is having the loose
rock in the lower level cleaned out, when
it will begin the work of stopping and
shipping ore, says the Kingman (Ariz.) }
Mineral Wealth. The Buckeye has pro-
duced in the past the finest native silver
ore found in the west. The ore chute
was lost, and during the time it re-
mained idle cave-in occurred in the
lower level, exposing the rich ore 200
feet from the main shaft. and a cross
cut near the shaft developed the fact
that the ore continued to the shaft. This
is another lesson in favor of the cross
cut. The ore is better with depth.

MINES AND MINERS
oooooo-ooooooooooooooooo

The production of gold in 1897 was
2,6S5,0o0 fine ounces. valued at $685.
$50, against 2.55S.4ss fine ounces valued
at $52, 6,2os in 1896. says the Engineer
ing and Mining journal. The production
in the Transvaal was about the same as
in the United States. and it will be
doubtful which country will hold first
place until revised figures are obtained,
There was large increase in the gold
production of Colorado. which has now
surpassed California for the first time.
The gold production of the Klondike,
which was only $4,000 900, notwithstand-
ing the exaggerated newspaper reports,
has been credited to Canada, and the lat
ter country shows consequently great
increase in output. The most important
gold producing district in the United
States was Cripple Creek, which broke
its best previous record. other import
ant districts of the year were the Black
Hills, South Dakota; Mercur, Utah, and
the various camps of the Mother lode in
California.
The production or silver OF uomesuc
origin in the United States in 1897 was

fine ounces in 1896. In addition to this,
there was production of 39,s25,0OO fine
ounces from foreign ores and, bullion,
against SS, ,1S3,529 fine ounces in 1896. The
decrease in the American production is
accounted for by the heavy decline in the
value of silver, which compelled num-
Der of important producers to close
down. The falling off in production
would undoubtedly have been greater
had it not-been for the high price of lead
