DEEP MINING.

With all her great prestige in the
mining world, the camp of Butte,
Mont, really has no very deep min
ing shafts. That at the Green
Mountain is 2,200 feet deep and at
the Never Sweat, 1900. The deep
est perpendicular shaft in the world
is in Bohemia. In 1880 it was 3, 1880
feet deep. The deepest coal mine is
in Belgium, being over $3.50 feet
deep, but the mining shaft is not
perpendicular. The deepest coal
mines in England are the Dunkirk
collieries in Lancashire, which are
down 1924 feet. The deepest in
the United States being only about
1900 feet. But the most extensive
mines in the world are those al
Freyburg, Saxony. Not many years
ago the galleries, taken collectively
had reached the unprecedented
length of 123 miles. At the time Of
the census of 1878 new gallery
started about 1888 or 80 had reach
ed length of eight miles.

MONTANA LEADS THE VAN.

Montana offers greater range OF
opportunity for investment than any
other state in the union. Statistics
of recent years place her upon the
top shelf in the line of native re-
sources. Scarcely ten years of age,
she is already first IN the production
of wool and copper. When demand
warrants it, she will easily assume
the lead in the yield of coal and iron.
Her annual mineral production is
crowding the $75,000,OO0 mark. In
gold, silver, and lead she stands we'll
to the front. In precious stones the
mines of Yogo, French bar and Flint
creek are attracting the attention OF
the world. Choteau, Fergus and
Carbon counties show fine prospects
of petroleum, where no effort has
been made to develop them. This is
to say nothing of the immense depos-
its of fre-clay, gypsum, lime and
sand stone, marble, granite, mica,
and numerous other varieties of min
erals, found over the entire state.

The Future Of Zinc Mining.

The development of zinc bearing
mines presents profitable field for
investment in the mountain states,
and one which, until recently, has
been generally overlooked, says the
Mining Reporter. This is account
ed for by the fact that penalty has
been exacted for treatment of zinc
bearing ores by the silver-lead
smelters, usually so cents for each
unit of that metal in excess of IL
per cent, so that zinc ores have been
avoided. Nearly all zinc ores in the
mountain states occur in connection
with lead, iron and copper, and usu
ally with silver and gold, the other
values generally being greater than
the value in zinc.
No process has yet been devised
which can successfully save the 9TH
er values, at the same time the re-
covery of the zinc is effec.e ed, in a
state pure enough to be used in
making spelter. To make ore suffi-
ciently pure for making spelter it
must be capable of being concen-
trated to a value of above 55 per
cent.
There are, however, many other
uses for ores beside making spelter,
and the success of DR.. F. l.. Bartlett
of the American Zinc Lead works at
Canyon City in saving zinc in the
form of pigment at the same time
the gold and silver values are recov-
cred opens new field of industry
The demands for the various forms
of zinc have greatly decreased in the
recent past. The increased ship
ment of zinc bearing ores from the
Leadvllle district, has called atten-
ton to the possibilities of this field
of enterprise. 1t is estimated that
the metallic zinc contents of ores in
Colorado are far in excess of any
other mineral except iron.
The Joplin, Mo-, ore districts are
producing zinc and lead at the rate
of million pounds month and il
is said that not single mine has re-
corded a failure in the district.
Ores are there being treated carry
ing as as low as five per cent zinc al
a. satisfactory profit.
The further development of the
zinc industry in the west is not with
out difficulties, but these will be ov-
ercome and the effort expended in
so doing will receive handsome re-
ward.

INGERSOLL is DEAD.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the
great and daring infdel is dead.
The end came suddenly at his home
near Dobb's ferry on the Hudson,
July II, resulting from heart dis
ease.
Opinions will always differ as to
the actual value of such men as In
gersoll. He had his steadfast
friends and his bitter enemies. There
are those who admire him and 9TH
ers who abhor, while the great mass
of mankind, as usual, occupy the va
rious points of middle ground of un-
concern, who think and know but
little of him.
That he was great no one doubts.
His broad learning, his terse ex-
preston, his flowing figures, his vol
uble eloquence, aud his mellihuous
voice are all the mark of great
ness. In the councils of the nation
and of the republican party he occu-
pied prominent position. Togeth-
er with these attributes he was firm
in conviction, lofty in bearing and
empirical and self-composed in faith.
Upon him fell both blessings and
cursings, but he was visibly affected
by neither.
His philosophy was not deep, nor
intensely logical. He dealt with the
profoundest themes of religion in
lightsome vein. He ridiculed its
philosophy, made sport of its claims,
Knocked its simplicity, and abused its
most sacred characters.
He was the greatest freethinker Of
the century. If he was right, he de-
serves to be named among the
worlds heroes; if he was wrong, he
was the worst blasphemer the world
ever knew.

BETTER TO STAY AT HOME

1t seems that the recorded expert
ences of the many stampedes for
"green fields in the distance" would
tend to lessen the number of those
who are continually running upon
errands of new and distant discovery.
The man who spends his life in chas-
ing every rumored big discovery in
outlandish places almost invariably
dies without the realization of his
Ophirean dream. While he who
stands upon his sober judgment, and
labors to develop his property in any
one district has far better chance
of success. If all the money, energy
and time expended in the past by
Neihart people upon ignis fatuus
propositions had been spent at home,
the side of Old Baldy would be COW
cred with paying mines with hoists
erected to its very summit. But
the pursuit of bubbles continues, and
almost every train bears away some
pilgrim toward the Hump, or any
visionary ell dorado, who laterly tele-
graphs for money to come home, and
rehearses the customary tale of woe
which is not without its laughable
side.
The Neihart mineral belt offers
ample opportunity for the work Of
the prospector. The idle stories Of
fabulous richness in would-be camps
are not reported of this place because
the truth concerning Neihart is as
good advertisement as the camp re-
quires. Within radius of % miles
are 23S patented claims, and any
amount of vacant ground upon whose
surface may be found just as good
showings as were found upon the
surface of the best mines of camp
1t wants not the HERALD to tell the
prospector this. For the fact is we'll
known, and is every year being DEM
onstrated by those possessing more
industry than imagery. Too much
cannot be said in praise of the mel
who are quietly exploring the gran
ite depths of our hills and valleys
and it is noteworthy that in almost
every place where sound, sensible
work has been done, the earth has
yielded up her riches freely.
The mines of this district carry
silver, gold, lead, copper, zinc, iron
and many minor metals. Aside from
the products of silver, gold and lead
the miner rarely derives any prof,
from other metals or by-products
contained. The question of saving
the by-products is one with which
the chemist is now wrestling, and il
is probable that at no distant day the
process will be evolved whereby the
Stag from today's smelter will yield
greater profit, in many instances
than was yielded by the ore as orig.
inally treated.
This camp is full of undeveloped
properties which will be worked at 9
profit whenever the prospector learns
to know the difference between 9
beacon light and will O. the wisp
But when a man sits around, till his
breeches need half-soling, talking
of the great need of capital to devel
op his mines, his logic is enough to
give dogs tail the heart burn.

AUTOGRAPH FIENDS.
Devices to Which They Will Resort
to Secure the Signature ofa
ReiHning Celebrity.

EVERY time we have celebrity with
U.S." said the chief clerk at one of the lead.
ing hotels, IT am certain to be deluged with
autograph albums. They are left by people
who ca lmly request me to waylay the nota-
BILE and get. his or her signature, preceded
it possible by some neat and appropriate
sentiment, verse preferred. It would be a
pretty ticklish task if it were not for the
fact that the celebrities themselves are
broken in to that sort of thing and have
ceased to regard it with any surprise. As a
rule, no explanation is necessary and all I
have to do is to hand over the little books.
Inc autograph hunters are particularly keen
after theatrical stars, and there is one WELL
known manager who derives good deal of
amusement IN acting as proxy. Last time
he was here he was with an eminent actress
and l had been intrusted with no less than
dozen autograph albums. I received
specific injunctions from the owner:of each
to get something characteristic and
turned the bunch over to my managerial
friend. Here's where I make hit!' he
exclaimed enthusiastically, and, grabbing a
pen, proceeded to inscribe an enigmatical
sentiment of his own manufacture in
every volume. remember one, which ran
like this, is not the expression of emotion
merely the emotion of expression? Truly
yours, Miss So-and-So.' The others were
equally incoherent, but somehow they had
we're perfectly delighted. SO deep!' so
thoughtful were the comments they made
as they studied the gibberish after the books
were returned, and am willing to bet they
are still wrestling with the inner meaning
OF their prizes. The star herself has the
she knew of the little Joke that was Der
petrated in her name am inclined to be-
lieve she would get after her manager with

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Don't expect frst-class oats from
second-class seeds.
Keep the work on the farm we'll in
hand. Never let it get control of you.
Mix brains, common sense and muscle
in about equal parts and success is GER
tain.
Corn is good for night feed and for
sitting hens, as it maintains bodily
heat.
Debt makes the pillow harder to hold
and causes the victuals to be less palata-
BILE. Keep out of debt just as far as
possible.
Boiled potatoes and boiled peas,
mashed together, and fed with sour
milk, will put flesh on hogs faster than
corn, it is said.
We grow on an average in this coun-
try ~ bushels of wheat to the acre. If
we grew 80 bushels we could make
wheat growing pay.
Set it down as fact that hay, corn,
oats and fodder of all kinds are worth
go per cent more if fed out on the farm
than if sold to be fed elsewhere.
! Where mixed farming is followed
some oats can nearly always be grown
to be used for feed; one advantage with
them is, that they come in early
Western Plowman.
