MICHIGAN MEN HAVE
MADE A RICH STRIKE
Their Copper Mine in rlOntrOse
County, Colorado, is Proving
A Bonanza.
YIELDS 500 PER TON.
Great Boom Has Started I'm Vicinity

From the Detroit Journal.

From the Detroit Journal.
Denver, Col, March 6-Special-J. N.
Mcbride, the controlling owner of the new
copper discoveries maze in MOntrOse county
by Michigan company. has started for
Michigan with specimens of the ore taken
out to make complete report to his COM
pany concerning the workings of the La
Sal mine. The work of developing the
mine has been pushed by Mr.. Mcbride and
the company is now shipping five to six
carloads of ore q week to the Denver
smelters. Nearly 80 teams are now haul
ing ore from the mine to Placerville for
shipment to Denver. Men have abandoned
their ranches to haul ore, and freighters
are pouring into the region from other
districts.
The smelter returns show the Michigan
people have struck good thing. The ore
has proven 80 rich the work of sorting 1t
has been abandoned and 1t is being shipped
to the smelters without being previously
tested. The ore so far shipped has been

of the mine but It has been Of startling rich
ness.
Thus far smelter returns have been re-
ceived on only the irst II carloads, but on
these $1O,155 In copper and silver was
realized, showing the ore at present being
taken out will run about $1,000 to the car
of 10 tons. In exact figures $40, 1857 was
received from 49, 800 tons or $50 9e to the
ton as an average.
A great boom has started in the vicinity
of the Michigan discovery. For one claim
$3.50, 900 was refused. Two hotels have
gone up and are crowded night and day.
Agricultural lands In the vicinity are re-
ceiving attention and one company has
taken up $4,000 acres and arranged for ir-
rigation. A great rush is anticipated In the
spring and new discoveries are looked for
In the region.

pulp. The dairy man will thus avoid
buying mill feeds to balance the car
bonaceous rations grown on the farm.
You are aware that the corn focder.
timothy hay, corn and other rough for
age grown on the farm is too carbon
aceous for the dairy cow; it is necessary
to add heterogeneous millfeeds. This SUI
gar beet pulp will meet this require
ment and save buying gluten meal
bran, oil meal, etc.
Another point l desire to call your
attention to. / have agents in China
seas and South America establishing
agencies for the sale of American but
ter in sealed tin cans, the conditions in
which butter must 60 to those hot eli
mates Experiments conducted num-
Der of years ago show conclusively that
butter from dairy cows fed on sugar
beets is beautifully favored and ac-
ceptably colored, and several degrees
harder than butter made from other
nutriment.
You see these things work together
II you use all instrumentalities it will
make the production of sugar and dairy
products peculiarly profitable. At the
Iowa station had analysis made of the
butter from sugar beets and found that
the volatile acid found in that butter
gives grateful flavor, while the vola-
tile acid found in many other things.
such as turnips, cabbage. potatoes, ETC.,
gives bad flavor which has to be got
rid of by raising the temperature of the
milk up to 30 or 80. This is not neces-
sary. however, with the milk from the
sugar beet.
Now, if your people when they set
about building q factory will have in
mind this feeding of the pulp to the
dairy COW, the sugar from the beets
will be clear profit; and when that is
the case l know of no conditions on
the face of the earth that can compete
successfully with you.
Hoping 1 have answered your queries
and expressing my desire to be of any
possible service to you in your enter
prise, am. Very truly yours,

Don't Experiment.

When grip attacks person of nerv-
Gus temperament there is usually a
great depression of spirits, the patient
is plunged in despair, and no amount
of argument or raillery has any effect
on his misery. The man or woman
whose nerves become so shattered that
it is a torture to remain in bed, and the
night is passed in vain attempt to
get little sleep is on the down grade
to nervous prostration, insanity and
death. There is no time then to ex-
pertinent with new and untried RENE
dies. Neglect or delay in this respect
may prove fatal mistake.
DR.. Miles Nervine is the best of all
medicines for the nervous, tired out and
sleepless victim of the grip, just as it is
the best remedy for all other weak

thoroughly routs them out of every

A STRONG APPEAL.
A Proposition Which Should be0Carried at
the Spring ElectiOn-Additional Ac-
cOmmOdatiOns at the County Farm.

inc Spring NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Ac-
commodations at the County Farm.
In behalf of the unfortunate poor and
Predetermined of Shiawassee county, the
Superintendent OF the Poor for the same
appeal through the honorable board of
supervisors to the voters of this county
for building to be erected, or rather an
addition to be put upon the new brick
structure already there, at present occu-
pied by the men. The residence of the
keeper, which is also occupied by the fe-
male inmates, is ve7itable fre-trap, an
old wooden building on which extensive
repairs are needed at once to make it
comfortable. 1t lis heated by eleven wood
stoves in different parts, and has already
taken fire three times
Now shall we, who have comfortable
homes and clear minds, give this subject
but passing thought when those who
have been less fortunate have been forced
by circumstances to accept this as their
only home? But one visit to their house
of refuge would touch chord of sympa-
thy between man and man. Let it not
be said of one voter in Shiawassee county
MANS inhumanity to man makes
countless thousands mourn"
The Board of Supervisors, body of
men we may well be proud of for the way
in which they have conscientiously man
aged the business of the county, after
looking into the matter thoroughly voted
unanimously to submit it to the people,
feeling sure that no one would with in
credulity ask the question, "Am l my
brothers keeper" but with cheerfulness
practice the golden rule of love, "Do unto
others as ye would that they should do
unto YOU" Careful investigation shows
that a new building would cost the tax
payers eighty cents on a thousand dollars
on the equalized valuation of the county,
to be paid in two payments, that is 40
cents year. The amount would be 30
small for each individual that argument
seems unnecessary.
We do hope that every taxpayer will
feel the responsibility of voting for the
appropriation.

WINTER FLOWING.
Three Things tn Think of In Decsd-
ing When tn Plow.

Three Things to Think of In Decsd-
ing When tn Plow.
No doubt many farmers are debating
in their minds the question of blowing
their ground for spring crops during
open spells this winter, and it is ques-
ton which, in the opinion of oorre-
spondent Of The National Stockman.
must be largely determined by the In.
dividual after considering three princi.
pal factors:
First, kind of soil; second, the crop
intended to be grown; third. the
amount of spring work. As to the 6rst.
II the soil Is clay would say don't
pillow, but for soils Of a looser character
! believe early blowing is correct. The
advocates of early blowing claim soil
plowed In the fall will absorb more
moisture during winter and thus be In
better condition to Withstand drought,
but our experience has been the oppo.
site, as our soil Is very clayey and be-
comes hard during winter. and we have
found IL impossible to put the life into
the soil that Is possessed by freshly
plowed land.
Az to the second, we have noticed
that corn will come up sooner and grow
more rapidly on fall plowed land, but
later, when drought sets in, the ground
cracks and the lower leaves begin to
die, and 1t extends up the stalk in pro.
portion to the severity Of the drought,
and thus more than loses all its apparent
advantage. For an oats crop the soil
may be more compact, as most of the
small grains delight in fine and oom-
pact soil, and the crop is harvested be-
fore drought reaches it's climax.
The third is question of economytof
time, which is an important item. but
In consideration of which the extra la
Dor required to prepare early plowed
land must not be ignored.

New York, Feb. 6.-The Times says:
The transfer of the Corliss steam en-
CINE works at Providence, R. L, to a
syndicate of capitalists was the first
step in the formation of a combination
that win take in all the great engine
making concerns in this country. The
CorllsS works We're not, however, Sc
cured directly by the Air Power COM
pany, as stated, although several mem
bers of the latter are interested in the
new venture and the Air Power COM
pany may join the new combination.
]. II. Hoadley said that the syndi-
cate which purchased the Corliss works
is composed of several bankers and
business men in this city, Boston and
Philadelphia and that the Cramps hold
the largest interest in it. He admitted
that both Richard Croker and himself
were largely interested in the venture.
The deal is the commencement of q
combination Of the steam engine build
erS throughout the United States.
There are twelve concerns which, by
combining, can control the engine max
ing business in this country and to
large extent, abroad also. OF these.
eight have already practically agreed
to join and it therefore dOesEiot make
very much difference whether the
others join or not, but the probability
is that they will all come in.
The Coriiss works are the largest in
the world and employ about 1900 men.
The company has just secured a con-
tract from the Boston Elevated Rail
way company for the biggest steam
engine ever built. 1t will weigh about
five hundred tons and its horse power
will be $500. Some idea Of the size of
it can be gathered when it is remem-
bered that the horse power of the
famous Corliss centennial engine which
is now being built at the Pullman car
works at Pullman, ILL.,, is only 400.

EFFECT OF RATIFICATION.
Conflict of Opinion AS to the Ameri-
can Status.

Washington, Feb. Gas to the
change in conditions wrought by the
ratification of the treaty today. there
is a variance of views, and Adjutant
General Corbin and Second Assistant
Adee of the state department were CIV
ing attention today with the idea of
being able to give full instructions for
his future guidance to General Otis I'M
mediately. The extreme view on one
side is that until the Spanish govern
ment ratifies the treaty it has no legal
status. According to that view, the
United States government is stopped
from proceeding beyond her lines at
Manila for the time. BY the other eX-
IRENE view the United States govern
ment is free to do as it pleases in the
entire group of islands and will there
fore proceed at once to complete the
military occupancy of the islands. Per-
haps there is justification for this last
view in the fact that the FilipinoS We're
Spanish subjects nOminally when they
broke the terms of the protocol and
thereby released the United States from
its observance. The medium view and
that which is likely to be followed is
that General Otis is justified in doing
anything that is necessary to protect
his army and all American and foreign
interests in Manila, even though this
obligeS him to assume the offensive and
go outside of the old lines in pursuit
of the insurgents who may be seeking
to reorganiZe and recuperate from their
late defeat with an intention of attack
ing again or even threatening the
Americans.

Hand Organs In New York.
Naw York World.l

The citizens of Greater New York con-
tribute annually more money to hand
organ grinders than is spent in support
ing the Metropolitan opera season. The
fees collected by the proprietors of jing-
ling little organs aggregate in the course
of q year several hundred thousand dol
lars. These organs are licensed by the
city and their income can be calculated
The estimates are those of q well-knOwn
hand organ manufacturer of Chatham
square who is familiar with the incomes
of his customers. There are some 264
licenses issued for Manhattan island The
number is limited TO &c., n wise govern
ment has calculated that 800 organs would
be the limit Of public endurance. The fee
is nominal. Each organ grinder must
pay 81, and this fee permits him to play
anywhere in New York as often as he
chooses, Sundays and holidays excepted.
In addition to this number, Brooklyn.
which seems to be much fonder of such
music than New York. supports as many
more. The entire area OF Greater New
York is supplied with $50 organs. There
is an organ for every 300 of the pOpula-
ton. 1t will be difficult to convince most
people that there are so few. but the
figures are official. According to the
Chatham square manufacturer the av-
erage daily income of each of these or
gans is about $3.50. This is the income
usually of two men, or a man and a Wo-
man. The estimate is conservative When
times are good the earnings often exceed
this figure.
The money represents the income on an
investment of $500, which is the price of a
good organ. The army Of hand organ
grinders collect every day on an average
of 81. 100 from Greater New York There
are 30S allowed to be played so that the
aggregate income for this orchestra is
$3.50. eco
Enough is known to make a fairly cor
rect estimate of sustaining the MetropOi
itan opera for a season. 1t is usually
placed somewhat below 5000 600.

Havana, Feb. Ex-Governor Brooke
has received no information regarding
the date when General Maxine Gomez
will arrive in Havana Feb. q is the
anniversary of the beginning of the
Cuban war, and it is possible that Cen
eral Gomez will wait until then to
make triumphal entry into the city.
The opinion is expressed in high Of
fetal circles that the special commits
sion of the Cuban assembly agreed
while in Washington to accept s.. 600. =
600 from the United States for the pay
ment of the troops. provided Gomez
would consent. Consequently the cur
rent criticism of his action in the mat
ter would indicate that the commits
sion here has not told the Cuban gen.
erals of the obligations assumed at
Washington. If this be true, the OPP
position on the part of the generals
amounts to nothing. Senior de Quesada
is now touring the provinces, making
speeches, in which he advises the Gu
bans to have full confidence in the in
tentionS of the United States. and pro-
mote union among themselves.
The board of meat survey, of which
Captain William l.. Pitcher of the
Eighth infantry is president, found, as
the result of an inquiry this afternoon,
unit for human food, and have recon-
mended that the inspector, Colonel
Reade, condemn the meat. Colonel
Reade has confirmed the boards find
ings. Other lots viii be examined to-
morrow. Among the rations drawn for
distribution TO the destitute at La
Punta relief station are several hun
dred cans of spoiled meat, though
among them there was not a can of
g
neously reported at first. Inquiry with
respect TO them seems to show that
since the meat was bought by the gov
eminent, most of it has been stored
in damp warehouses or carried in the
holds of vessels. The cans have rusted,
the air was thus admitted, and couse-
quently the contents soon decornDosed.
The meat had probably been packed
for long time.
On the other hand, a quantity of ba-
con, canned in 1891, was found to be
fresh.
At several other relief stations faint
ed salmon and spoiled tomatoes were
discovered by the board of meat sur
Vey, and it appears that from 1 to
per cent of the meat issued in Havana
is bad. The Seventh corps is now eat
ing meat bought in the local market,
but General Arnold says the men are
complaining of its tOughness, and pre-
fer refrigerated beef.
