Says Frost is Chilly.

Frank Smith, member of the First
South Dakota regiment of volunteers,
commanded by Colonel Frost, is quoted
as follows in the Howard Democrat:
"Col. Frost is strictly military man
and strict disciplinarian. BY his ord
ers the officers are not allowed to associ-
ate with the priyates, although some OF
them were warm personal friends before
the wal. Now they are total strangers,
and in many cases enemies. Col. Frost
however enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing the best drilled and best disciplined
volunteer regiment in the Eighth army
corps. But he also carries the i'll will of
almost every enlisted boy from South
Dakota.
Lieutenant Colonel Slower, although
strict on duty, quick to punish an often
der of army rules when off duty, is one
of the boys. To him they 60 for adyice

From the dispatches which have come
from Manila for the past few days, there
has been an apprehension on the part
of our people, which seems to have been
shared by the department at Washing
ton, that there was danger Of collision
between our forces and the German
navy at Manila. All fear of this is now
averted by the announcement by the
German government that all the war
ships belonging to that government had
been ordered away from Manila. on the
promise Of our government that all of
the German interests in the PHILIPPINES
would be protected by the United States.
This relieves tic strain npon our citi-
zens, although Uncle Sam assumes con
siderable risk when he pledges himself
responsible for any injury which may
come to the German population, either
in their person or property in the Phili-
pine islands.

1t seems from many of the letters re
ceived from our soldiers in Manila
whose term ofservice has expired, and
who expect soon TO be mustered out,
that many have become enamoured
with the country, and would prefer to
remain. There is said to be many op.
portunities to make money in the coun-
try, for live Americans, in many branch
es of business. Besides, there will be
from 500 10 500 dollars more coming to
them as commutation, if they are mus
tered ont in Manila. which is in itself a
pretty good start in that country. But
all this will depend much on how long
it Will take to snbdue tAe Filipinos.

The Press reports, to the effect that
Aguinaldo and his followers are about
ready to surrender to the United Stat es,
does not comport with his latest mani
festos, in which lie urges the Filpinos
to fight to the death, not only the
men but the women. From the further
fact that no sound of any overtures for
peace has yet reached the ears of either
General Otis or Admiral Dewey, make
it safe to disregard these reports.

Copper.

1t will be remembered that about ten
years ago there was a big syndicate oi
French capitalists who, undertook to
buy up SO much ofthe worlds supply OF
copper as to enable them to control the
market price of that metal. They how
eyer made one fatal mistake. They left
Marcus DAILY and the Anaconda out in
the cold, and he was able to put so much
copper on to the market. as to burst
their plans and the price of copper fell
to about Z cents per pound. The syn
dicate of bankers had left on hand at
that time about 10000 tons OF copper,
and an arrangement was made with the
owners of copper mines, that only so
much of this 10000 tons should be put
upon the market each year until it was
all sold. This supply has now not only
become exhausted, but the whole worlds
supply of copper at this time amounts
to the limited showing 10000 tons.
Considering that the worlds consump-
ton of copper is $4,000 tons per year
more than is being produced, and owing
to the increased demand for copper,
brought about largely by the swift in-
crease of electrical appliances, in Eu-
rope as we'll as this country, it has be
come an interesting question among all
those interested in the subject, where
are we going to get our copper. 1t is
for this reason that the red metal has
now reached the unprecedented price
of Is cents per pound, with rising mar
ket, and the end is not yet. Now is the
time to overhoul your copper mines il
you haye any, and get them to the front.

rum, antimony and arsenic, and in ad-
dition to these some report tin. We
do not mean TO say that this is the kind
of ore which characterixes this district,
We simply mean to say, that We have
vein of that kind. and for stumping
the assayers it is a prize winner. The
most common ore in our mines is that
which carries gold in combination with
tellurium and bismuth and often lead. 1t
yields its gold readily, in most cases to
chlorination, and also 70 the cyanide
process, and that to without roasting.
1t is volatile and like burnt children,
we have learned to dread the fire.

A startling incident, of which Mr..

Hubbardstown, July 1S-About ten
years ago there came to this town an
individual who was considered more or
less scientific, named Walker s.
Swayne AS Prof Swayne, he was
generally known while he remained
here.
Swayne purchased the Dexter Pratt
farm, one of the finest pieces of farm
ing property in the town. Here it was
understood that he intended to estab-
lisb a sanitarium for consumptives.
But before he could bring this about
one of the large barns burned, and also
a cottage house and barn, which be-
longed to the estate, and this loss, to-
gether with his lack of experience in
agriculture, is supposed to have EN-.
barrassed him financially. The fine es-
tate passed out of his hands and is now
owned by Boston lawyer named Gun.
