Jacob Zimmerman and partner
are doing assessment work on the
Bonanza. Such work costs the
Bonanza $500 per year, and it
would be interesting to know when
that misguided company intend to

The Porter mill is running on
Snake, Flying Dutchhan and

all of which is surface material
and more or less free milling.

Robin & Hall inform US that our

BEET INDUSTRY SPREADS.
Indiana Farmers Report Good Re
suits, and Sugar Factories
Are to Be Built.

New Albany, Ind, Feb. 10.-The eff
forts being made in Indiana to grow su-
gar beets at a profit are attracting
widespread attention, and the report of
Prof c. s. Plumb of the government
experiment station at Purdue university
is interesting. Last years reports are
not satisfactory as to results, but IN so
far as the number of counties in which
the farmers are making tests is con-
cehned the reports are favorable.
The Indiana weather was decidedly
against the proper growth The severe
frosts following closely on mild weather
killed all vegetables Despite these
facts a number of splendid results have
been reported to Prof. Plumb. The
growers are now convinced that If they
can do as we'll as they did last year,
with the elements against them, de
cfded success can be made OF the in
dustry.
A large per cent of the growers re-
porting to Prof. Plumb say that they
can raise beets at a profit of 81 a ton.
This being true, there seems no reason
to doubt that there is money in 1t. The
tests conducted at the plants in Rome
and Binghafriton, N. Y, show that it
REQUIRES ten tons of beets to procure one
ton of finished product. The manufac-
turers of sugar require beet with 126
per cent of sugar. Especially in north
ern Indiana is the prospect favorable,
and large sugar beet factories will soon
be erected.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Refrigerating Business of the
Santa Fe Increasing.
Largest Houses on the Line at
La Junta and Las Vegas.
HOLD6,OOO TONS EACH,
Of Ice, Cut From Hot Canyon
Springs Lakes.
Cost of Icing a Car Ranges From
$25 to $50.

The refrigerating business on the
Santa Fe is no small item of expense
and is an excellent criterion upon which
to base estimates of the amount OF
fruit and beef shipped over the line.
The largest refrigerating points on
the line are on the New Mexico ana
Rio Grande divisions and all refr1g-
orator cars going east or west are tced
either at La Junta or Las Vegas
A new system of furnishing ice ana
icing cars has been adopted by the
Santa Fe. The Aqua Pura company OF
Las Vegas has a five year contract LOT
furnishing ice and icing the re1r1gerat-
ing cars on the Santa Fe. The ice -
cut on five lakes in the Hot Springs
canyon near Las Vegas. This winter
80 900 tons has been harvested ana
shipped to different points Where II -
stored. New houses have been QUIT at
Las Vegas, La Junta and AlouQuerque-
The Las Vegas and La Junta houses
hold 5000 tons and the Albuquerque
house 1000 The balance is stored IN
smaller houses at different points be-
tween Ell Paso, Deming and La Junta.
The contract calls for the ice to be paid
for at the points where it is used ana
when it is used, thus relieving the SANTA
Fe of a great amount of loss on ice
stored from winter through the sum
mer.
The main part of the Southern Cali
fornia. business will be iced at La j unta
as will the Rio Grande business. Last
year 20 900 tons of ice were used where
80 600 is estimated will be required for
the present years business.
The California fruit shipment Is ex-
pected to be much larger than last
year and the shipments of meat from
Kansas City west as well as small fruits
from Missouri and Texas to western
and eastern points have been increasing
steadily for some time and will make
decided advance this year.
The principle point east OF New Mex
leo for refrigerating is Argentine where
10000 cars are handled during the year
Refrigerating is quite an item. Between
California, Kansas City, Chicago and
New York the cost of icing a. car ranges
from $25 to $50. The cost a day for
icing the refrigerator cars at Argentine
is about 81, 900.
The orange shipments are Hghtest in
July, August, September and october.
The Iightest months in the fruit bust
ness are November, December, January
and February. The heaviest icing bust
ness comes during the fruit shipping
season but between the different fruit
crops of California, the melon shipments
from Rocky Ford, the small fruits from
Texas and Missouri and the meats from
eastern markets the refrigerating BUSH
ness is steady and a potent factor in
railroad business.

WORSE THAN RHEUMATISM
Remedy Prescribed Hot Salt Water
Bath, Skin Rubbed Off With Sand.

Wilkesbarre, Feb. 10.-Peter Cox, who
underwent novel and heroic treatment
for rheumatism, is now in the city hos
pltal in serious condition, and DIR.
Weise, who prescribed for him, is in Jail
charged with practicing without a
license.
The arrest was made on complaint of
the injured mans wife. Cox, she says,
was put into a large barrel filed with
hot water. The doctor kept throwing
hot bricks into the water and poured
a peck of sand over the suffering man.
which was rubbed vigorously into him
quarts of salt followed and after this
the patient had to drink a lot of vinegar
seasoned with red ants and salt.
This internal and external picking
lasted over an hour, and when Cox was
lifted out of the barrel he was so weak
that he could not stand. He was then
placed in bed for the second part of the
cure. This consisted of dressing with
four shirts, two pairs of drawers, two
pairs of trousers and covering him
snugly with two blankets, two quilts
and two comforters
Mrs. Cox stated that this treatment
was continued three nights in success
sion, and that DR.. WeiSe had smeared
ms patient all over with a certain kind
OF grease mixed with little chips and
had given him two bottles of whisky to
drink. Peter was to take half a wine
glassful of the liquor three times a day.
Even this last dose could not induce
Cox to submit to the treatment more
than five weeks, and when his serious
illness became SO apparent that he had
to be sent to the hospital his wife had
DR.. WeiSe arrested

WARSHIP UP THE ORINOCO.
United States Gunboat Wilmington
Explores the Great River.

Caracas, Venezuela, Feb. 10.-The
New York Journal correspondent ca
bles that the United States gunboat
Wilmington, with J. B. Loomis, the
United States minister to Venezuela, on
board, touched at Ciudad Bolivar, and
has gone far up the Orinoco on her long
Journey of commercial exploration up
that river January q the Wilmington
left Trinidad, and two days later she
crossed the bar at the river mouth,
stopping first at Catalina, and arriving
at Ciudad Bolivar, capital of the state
of that name January 81. The recep-
tions of the Americans there was wildly
enthusiastic.
After spending several days at Gu
dad Bolivar the Wilmington weighed
anchor and proceeded up the great
river, penetrating into the heart of Ven
ezuela She will go as far as the IA pids,
the head of navigation, and then return.
Minister Loomis expects that much
commercial advantage will result from
this first visit of a United States war
vessel up the Orinoco for quarter of a
century.

Fl. 6 s. IN COURT.
Suit Brought by an Ohio Man for a
Receiver for the Road.

Hutchinson, Feb. 1O.-R. N. Archer,
a citizen of Cincinnati, o., by his attor-
neys, z. L. Wise and John E. Hessin,
has brought suit in the district court
for a receiver for the Hutchinson &
Southern railroad, line running from
Hutchinson to Blackwell, Ok. "a distance
of lis miles.
The Hutchinson & Southern road has
lately been operated by L. E. Walker
and w. A. Bradford, who came into
possession of the property when the re-
ownership was wound up. Archer, the
defendant, was at one time vice presi-
dent and general manager of the road.
He claims to have purchased one-tenth
of the capital stock of the company, and
afterwards was'frozen" out by Walker,
Bradford and others. He claims that
Walker and Bradford have no right to
the road, hence the suit.
The Hutchinson & Southern has been
in the courts a good part of the time
since it was built in 1889 and 1890 Last
summer, Judge Williams, at Newton,
was asked to appoint a receiver for the
road, but a compromise was effected
with the plaintiffs, and the case dis
missed.
The allegations made by the parties
last summer were similar to those made
by Archer.

New York, Feb. 10-William c. Whit
ney has ordered a suspension of work
on the residence he is erecting at Sixty
eighth street and Fifth avenue. The
structure is locked up and work will
not be resumed until spring. Mr.. Whit

and steam filters, electricians, and car
penters went out in a body.
The Building Trades Council instruct
ed all the union marble workers to go
on strike also. Some of the men de-
INJURED, but the council notified them
that their unions would be suspended
from the council If they refused to
strike.

tee to Mr.. Whitney. The committee re-
ported that he refused to interfere in

THEY WANT FREE TICKETS
Evansville Aldermen Insist on Their
Prerogatives as Lawmakers.

GAINESVILLE. Wis, Feb. 10.-Peter L.
Myers. manager of the local opera house
here, has been summoned to appear be-
fore the court Thursday morning to an
swer to the charge of violating the city
ordinance relative to paying an opera
house license. Manager Myers has been
accustomed to distribute tickets for
each performance to the mayor and al
dermen. To do this requires about if
teen free tickets.
Last week a 10-cent show and an
Uncle Toms Cabin" company struck
town, and through some oversight Man
ager Myers forgot to send the city faith
ers their tickets.
A warrant was sworn out for Mana
ger Myers appearance in court. Man
ager Myers says he is willing to pay an
annual license fee into the city treas
ury on the same basis that the opera
houses are run in most of the cities
through the state, but that the alder
men refuse to listen to this proposition,
preferring free tickets.
