A BOOM In BISCUITS
GRIGGS, COOPER g. co. PROPOSE
TO COMPETE WITH THE
CRACKER TRUST
WILL SOON BE IN OPERATION

Mandatory Will Give Employ
ment to a Force of Fifteen Men
Constantly, With Capacity of
Fifty Barrels of Flour Per Day
Everything Demanded by the
Trade in This Line to Be Supplied.
A cracker factory supplying every va
riety of goods manufactured by the lead
ing biscuit companies is an innovation in
the business of Griggs, Cooper & Co., the
Third street wholesale grocers, which will
be in operation between the 1st and 18th
of August. Though the idea of manu-
featuring different lines of goods for the
trade in large wholesale establishments
is not new one, the st. Paul firm is the
first to apply it to Northwestern business
j. w. Cooper a member of the firm, was
seen yesterday, and gave an interesting
account of the new departure. In speak
ing of the conditions which have brought
about the innovation and the firms plans
regarding it, he said:
Our biscuit mandatory will be In
operation within a few weeks The fac
tory will occupy part of the first and sec
ond floors Of our building. and will give
employment to a force of about fifteen
men constantly. The department will be
in charge of George c.. Pettigrew, and
will have a capacity of fifty barrels of
flour per day. The output can be judged
by the amount Of flour used.
I'VE do not intend to fight the cracker
trust particularly. In fact we will not
compete with them in the least, except
in our own territory. We shall supply
our customers with. our own goods, manu-
featured and put up under our own super
vision. general salesman will be en-
ployed throughout our territory and will
care for our sales. We shall make every
thing in this line demanded by our trade,
and shall put on the market a superior
class Of goods.
1.-The reason for this departure from
accepted methods is that the American
Biscuit company did not distribute it's
product on a plan at all satisfactory to
the wholesale grocer. They made uniform
selling prices over their whole territory,
disregarding freight charges, SO that a
wholesale grocer in this market was
placed at a serious disadvantage. We
We're unable to hold our business under
the American Biscuit companys law, and
so entered the field with a concern to
provide for our own trade. We intend to
use our own goods in all our natural ter
ritory, and have engaged the best men
we could secure to make the goods.
I'VE are the first to make a move Of
this kind, but the idea is all right, and
there is no doubt but that it will mean
saving of money to US, as we'll as being
in every way more satisfactory than de-
pending on the biscuit company's scale Of
prices and output"

MINING BOOM.
Has Recently Sprung Up in the
BIackfOOt Country.


Great Northern officials yesterday re-
ceived reports that another mining boom
has sprung up in the Backfoot country
tributary to their line. The region is only
accessible by stage, and at present miners
are going into the section by the dozen
The region has been known as gold pro-
ducing, with considerable copper, though
not IL free state The copper ore has
meyer been thought valuable enough to
work with profit and the principal opera
lions have been in the way Of gold min
ing. Recent discoveries, however, have
proven that copper exists, not only in
paying quantities. but through q large
section. LOdes have been discovered ex-
ceptlonaIly rich In copper and gold, aver
aging in many instances as high as so per
cent. The amount of gold in the copper
ore is sufficient to pay for working, and
the copper is also very valuable.
The influx of miners has been so great
that boom has started and everything
sells at boom prices. Stage passage to
the mining fields costs $12 per man,
though the distance is less than thirty
miles, and hotel accommodations. -
Which consist Of permission to occupy a
corner of tent, cost s.. Experts state
that the indications are that the section
Will soon become a heavy copper and gold
producer, with every promise of continu-
ing to pay for many years. The deposits
are heavy.
