ANOTHER STORY.
OF the Ownership and Development O
the United Verde.

Much has been written and printed
on this subject but the following may
be given consideration for the reason
that it appears in the jerome News, !
paper supposed to be somewhat in
touch with the United Verde manage
ment:
The United Verde is not the largest
copper mine in the world in point of
production. but it is certainly the
richest copper mine in the world and
probably the most profitable and high
est priced copper mine in the world.
1t is incorporated under the New York
laws. with 100000 shares. and some of
the stock has recently been sold at
$500 per share, making $780, OOO. 600 as the
price of the mine. This is somewhat
more than the $75OOO,OO price for
which Calumet and Hecla, producing
nearly twice as much copper, is now
selling. The Anaconda copper mine, OF
Montana, which is also the largest sill
Yer producer in the world. is selling for
about $4,000, 900. 1t produces more cop
per than Calumet and Hecla, and twice
cost of its copper per pound is higher
than either the Calumet and Recla or
the United Verde, because the percent
age of copper in the rock now being
mined is very low.
The United Verde is Il very modern
mine. Not many years ago Boston

Delaware College opens for the year
1899-1900 with the best prepared Fresh

thus far been admitted to the College,
most of them to the Freshman class,

A few failed to report after taking the
June examination. The new students
range in age from 16 to % years. Five
are just past IS; 8 are between Is and
1S; s are between II and 90 and five
are 90 or more.
The newcomers are all from Della
ware or the Eastern Shore of Mary
land. Seven are from Wilmington, and
~ are from other parts of New Castle
county; are from Kent county; are
from Sussex county, and 3 from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland. Most of
these young men are graduates of local
high schools, and the degree of their
preparation seems to prove decided
advance in the work of the public
schools.
Three of the newcomers have en-
tered the mechanical Engineering
Course; two, the Civil Engineering

Course; two, the General Science
Course; four, the Electrical Engineer

MARYLAND REPUBLICAN POLITICS.
The Effect of the Resignation of Boss Well
lingtOn From the Craftsmanship of the
State Central Committee.

"Duke" Wellington has resigned
from the craftsmanship of the Republi-
can party and Gen. Shryock has been
seated in his place. The Baltimore
american says: "The trouble in the
Republican party is at an end. Like
summer thunderstorm, it has passed
away, and among the traces is left
nothing of a deleterious nature is discov-
cradle. Instead root, branch and TO-
liage of party sentiment seem to have
been frightened, freshened up and in
vigorated. The little disturbance
has seemingly enthused the party and
shaken it up, until now in every nook
and corner of the State the necessity of
getting down to the work bringing
about victory is fully realized, and
party workers are ready to devote
themselves to the task with vim and
vigor that would otherwise have been
called in play. The differences be-
tween the candidate for governor and
the former chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee were more personal
than political, and should not effect the
result at the polls. This Senator Wei
lington fully ACKNOWLEDGED.

FUNSTON SEES END OF WAR.

General Frederick Funston, form

CALIFORNIA LEMON PRODUCT.
Over $4,000 Car Loads Last SeasOn-An In

Over $4,000 Car Loads Last SeasOn-An In
dustry that Promises Much for the State.
Last season $500 carloads of lemons
came East from California, and this is
regarded by the papers of that region
as sufficient evidence of another horti-
cultural victory for the State, and as a
complete refutation of the belief, cur
rent few years ago, that California
lemons were deficient in keeping and
shipping qualities, and that they
could never compete with the fruit
imported from Sicily. Despite these
prevalent views, the California lemon
growers kept at it, and from few
scattered groves the planting has grown
to nearly 100000 trees, more than
one-half of which are in bearing.
There is a natural limit to the in
dustry, however, fixed by the con-
ditions of soil and climate.

THE WORLDS GRAIN CROPS.
The Yield Estimated at 3l2 100000 Bushels of
Wheat Less than Last Year.


The crop estimates of the Hungarian
Minister of Agricultural possess much
interest, though not always of the
highest authority. One of their main
points is the statement that the French
wheat crop will be some 1926, 900, 900
bushels, or 100000 bushels under
that of last year. The American wheat
crop is placed at 500, 1000, 900 but Amer
lean estimates places it at about 535,
600, 900 bushels. The Hungarian Min
lister credits Russia with crop of $40, =
900, 200 bushels, but in view of recent
famine reports this seems excessive.
According, however, to the American
view his errors neutralize each other,
and his general result is about right.
The worlds wheat yield is believed to
be 312, 900, 900 bushels less than that of
last year and about 100, 100000 less
than the worlds normal demand fol-
wheat. Rye, barley and oats together
fall some 300, 100000 bushels below last
years yield.

THE BEEF TRUST.
Squeezing Bone and MuscIe.-WOrk of IL e
Trust in Regard to the Prices
of Meat.

An advance in the price Of meat
comes home to the pockets and stom-
achs of the entire population. The
American citizen, whatever his station
in life, regards a meat diet as one of
the essentials of existence here. Ex-
cepting, perhaps, a comparatively
small body of alien laborers in the
larger cities, the toilers of the land
renew their muscular energy from day
to day with food composed largely of
beef, mutton or pork. How much of
the superior efficiency of American
workingmen-recognized the world
over-is due to this national dietary
habit can only be conjectured; but
is a clear and undisputed relation exist
ing between \the two elements. The
meat eaters are the world beaters in
this age of unrelenting industrial COM
petition.
If this be conceded, what should be
the public judgement on the remorse-
| less ''holding up" of the American
people by the combination of allied in
terests which controls the meat supply
of the country, and practically dictates
the price at which it shall be sold tC
consumers? The well-to-dO can pay
the increased cost; the poor, with nc
margin between earnings and outgC
for subsistence, must reduce their daily
allowance of meat or abandon it alto
gether. Could a working population
of compulsory vegetarians accomplish
in the future the mighty tasks per
formed by American energy and mus
Gle in the past? Is it to be desired, IL
the public interest, that the level o
subsistence for labor in this countr,
shall be brought down to the blacl
bread and garlic standard of Europe o
the rice diet of Eastern Asia?
Questions like these will be in orde

WILL STIMULATE COMMERCE.
Brought About by the Possessions of the
Philippine Islands.

The possession of the Philippine
Islands by the United States will so
stimulate commerce on the Pacific
coast that in the next decade, it is
probable, more ocean vessels will be
built there than will be constructed on
the Atlantic seeboard. The ocean
grayhounds plying between New York
and Europe will, in the majority of
cases, be laundhed from the English,
French and German shipyards, as has
been the rule for half century. The
companies in that trade are, with one
exception, European corporations and
it is in Europe where they let their
contracts. One of the best arguments
which the foreign shipbuilding estab-
lishments can use, as against the let
ting of contracts on the Delaware, is
the incident of the cruiser Brooklyn,
and it will be worked for all it is
worth.
The object for deepening the channe
of the Delaware river is a matter il
which we are certainly as much inter
ested as Philadelphia.

President Schurman Makes FOrclbIe Utter
ance Regarding Our New Possessions.
President Schurman, of the Philip
pine Commission, touched the fatal de-
feet in the anti-expansion contentious
when he said in his Ithaca utterance:
''The instruction is not national up
rising. There is no Philippine nation.
There is a multifarious collection of
tribes having only this in common,
that they belong to the Malay race.
The multiplicity and heterogeneous
nature of the tribes is something as
founding. Over go different languages
are spoken in the archipelago. The
speech of one tribe is unintelligible to
its neigbors."
These facts go to the heart of the
whole controversy. There is not and
there never has been Filipino nation.
If the people who have so much to say
about Filipino independence would in
vestigate the real conditions they
would be compelled to see that there
never has been any power with which
the American Government could treat.
