That is What the Ore From the
Cox Mine at Big Greek Will
Run-A Carload of the
Ore OF the Way to
the Smelter At
Denver.
DEV E NJ EN-
Work Being Pushed and Regular Ship
ments 10 begin Shortly-Probab-
Iy the Richest Mine in
This Rich Cop
per Coun.
try.

The Wyoming Consolidated
Copper Company, owning the Cox
copper mine and other claims on
Big creek, in the southeastern
part of the valley, about 35 miles
from Saratoga, is just shipping
the first ore to the Argo smelter
at Denver. 1t is the most re-
markable copper ore ever shipped
from Wyoming, and at present
prices for copper, will run some
thing over S2400 per carload.
The shipment runs from the ordi-
nary ore of the district, such as
that from the Rudefeha, which
carries all the way from "a per
cent. copper up to the pure copper
glance which runs ~ per cent.
The forman of the Wyoming
Consolidated Company's works, Mr..
Poor, who is a skilled Cripple
Creek miner, has sent down the
finest lot of samples of copper ore
from that place that were ever
shown here. There are about
1000 pounds of these and they
show Colcocite, Colcopyrites,
Azurite, Bornite, and the most
beautiful copper glance. This ex-
hibit, which we had the pleasure
in examining, will be taken first
to Denver, from there to New
York and Boston, at which later
place it will be placed on exhibit
ton.
The Cox mine is a very remark
able one in every respect, and Sc
far as the testimony of experts go
there is not its equal, judging by
its present development and the
quality and quantity of ore, any
where in the world. Besides its
immense percentage of copper all
the ore from this mine carries
from 81 to SIT in gold besides
some silver. There has been dis
covered a small body of ore in this
mine samples of which assayed as
high as $500 in gold. 1t has the
appearance of red of iron but
no one here has been able to de-
termine its true name and place.
The property of the Wyoming
Consolidated consist of 30 full
claims, making over 600 acres of
contiguous territory, all showing
mineral. 1t is therefore the larg-
est properly owned by a single COM
pany in Wyoming.
The location of this great prop
erty on Big creek gives it two
very important. advantages. 1t is
situated in an altitude that per-
mits of active operations being
iCu pu uuIluS TIC CIlllC NCdl,
being some 1900 feet lower than
the Battle Lake country. There
is nothing, therefore, to prevent
the shipment of ore during the en-
tire twelve months. The other
great advantage is its water power.
Big creek runs through the prop
erty, leaving thirteen claims on
one side and seventeen on the
other. The company now has I'M
der contemplation a dam that will
yield it 300 horse power and the
work will be begun at once, This
dam will furnish power for an
electric plant power which will be
used for all mining purposes.
The company is shipping up some
hosting machinery this week TO
do the work until such a time as
the dam is completed and the cleo
trio plant is in operation.

The 10th annual report Of the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone company testifies to
the almost universal usage of the little
convenient electric method Of co,nmun-
ication.
The total number of stations con-
nected in the 2134 exchanges and
branch offices is no less than 465, 49,
The total length of wire connected is

At each station IS magnetic gen, r

Perhaps the oest idea OF the enor-

remembering that 1t would keep Il men

of them. The daily calls average g.
S22,o70, or 133 per second, during the
eight hours of the working day.

One Memory of Memorial Day.

Butte, always striving to do some
thing bizarre and different than the
other cities Of the state, observed Mem
orial day by having a prize fight, says
the Yellowstone Journal. The fact that
the delsartian entertainment broke UP
in a. general row and some fs ces not
in the ring We're disfgured only added
more eclat to the event. AS usual,
many prominent gentlemen were
present and cheered on the contestants.
One of the spectators, who is desig-
mated by local paper as very in
f1uentiaP citizen, prevented the waters
of Silver Bow creek from assuming a
carmine hue as they flowed on toward
the Pacific. He boldly mixed up in the
fracas and because of his influence de-
scrihed in the comparative degree pre-
vented regular battle to the death be-
tween the opposing factions.

THE LITERARY AGENT.
HIS Work Explained by A. r. Watt, Who
Is One HimseIf

Is One Himself
Among the recent arrivals in New
YORK from Europe is a middle-aged
prematurely gray man of pleasing pres
ence, who attracts attention in the small
circle which he frequents by the fact
that he is the originator of the business
In which he is engaged, and because OF
his success in the comparatively new
calling. The man is A. P. Watt, the
literary agent, who made trip from his
home in England to see Mr.. Kipling,
who is one of his clients.
In speaking of his business to New
York Tribune reporter, Mr.. Watt said
that writers now recognize the neces-
sity for employing an agent through
whom they may place their works be-
fore the public, as thoroughly as man
ufacturers Of merchandise do in their
line of business.
THE agent" he said, becomes the
business manager of the writer, and
relieves his client Of much trouble and
gives him more time to devote to his
literary labors. The agent must know
how, when and where to place the
works OF his clients. His place toward
the author whom he represents is iden-
teal with that of the lawyer toward
his client"
Mr.. Watt is the literary executor of
Wilkie Collins. whose agent he was,
and he manages the affairs of a num-
Der of writer's, among whom are, be-
sides Mr. Kipling, Rider Haggard,
Stanley Weyman, DR.. A. Conan Doyle,
w. Clark Russell. Sir W. Wilson
Hunter, the Right Hon. Arthur j. Bal
four, Sir Walter Besant S. r. Crockett
and DR.. John Watson Uan Maclaren.)
"The belief that men who write,'
said Mr.. Watt ARE not business men
is not well founded. I have known
writers to be good business men, and
they employ an agent, not because they
are incompetent to manage their own
affairs, but because they wish to avoid
the unpleasantness connected with bus
mess and to have more time for more
agreeable occupation"
Mr.. Watt spoke reluctantly about his
business and its methods, but was en-
thusiastic about his cordial reception
in New York and the hospitality of his
friends.

The future of the island of Crete is
attracting some attention in Europe,
and 1t appears most likely that while
other nations are scrambling for slices
Of the Chinese melon Great Britain will
quietly pluck this large peach and put
1t in her basket. Every one will re-
member what a perplexing time the
powers had last year in selecting n
ruler for that island when it was de-
cided that the Sultan must yield the
administration of its AFFAIRS and, also,
how 1t was hoped that the selection of
Prince George of Greece for the posi-
ton of Governor General would ulti-
mately terminate in the annexation of
Crete to the kingdom of the Hellenes.
But when the Prince reached Gambia he
found Sir Herbert Chermside, the Brit
ish representative, in charge of affairs.
Up to the present time the new consti-
tuition of Crete, by virtue Of which the
people are to be accorded an autono-
nous government, has not been com.
pleted and the question confs up as to
whether the Prince or Sir Herbert Is
responsible for good order. The Prince
naturally thinks it suspicious that
Great Britain keeps considerable
body of men on the islands, while
France and Russia suspect that Crete,
along with Cyprus and Malta, Is to be
