sunl. The succeeding years Will show
a greater increase in copper and gold,
for the reason that the copper mines
are now developed on a splendid scale
and can increase their output at any
time, While ON of the richest COLA
mines in the state are now in progress
of development.
For more than half the period of it's
existence the ephemeral pursuit of sur

end one of the most noteworthy pages
in the annals Of our national growth.
Advancing within a few years to un-
disputed leadership not My of this
continent. but of the entire globe, In
the output of minerals, it can be truth
fully asserted that the threshold of Mon
tana's vast storehouse of treasure has
scarcely yet been crossed.
Estimating the states output of min
eral for 1900 at 500, coo. 900, Montana has
produced in gold, silver, lead and cop
per since the year 1862. the enormous
sum of $942, 1913, 1853. It's copper output
alone during the past 10 years has
amounted to about one-third OF this

The Butte and Bosom was next. It's
production of fine copper was "a, 600, G06
pounds, silver, 936, 600 ounces and gold
1900 ounces. Total valuation of produc-
ton, "a, .33, SEQ. This company has only
been operating it's w smelling plant
since February, and the stimate are
therefore based on the production since
that time.

pany furnished an estimate of so, 900, 900
pounds of copper, $50. 900 ounces Of silver
and 5000 ounces of gold. This estimate
was, however, for the total production
of the smelter, and from it should be
deduced the custom business handled.
This includes the production of the
C~olusa-Parrot company and a large

eosroN PRooUoE MARKET.
From wedne. day'sBoston Journal

This week started OIL with Il tame tone in
the butter market, but receipts OF the pre-
vious week were cleaned up pretty well, and
there was Il scarcity of strictly fine quality.
On Saturd ~ ana Monday several large deal
ers were around picking up lots to meet the
wants of their trade, and for which paid full
prices. Yesterday. owing to the heavy rain
and The drop in New York, very few buyers
made their appearance, and the market had
an easier tone.
Receivers were not disposed to talk of over
% cents for the finest lots of Vermont and
New Hampshire fresh creamery, such as sold
at 26lS cents last week, and where the quail
ty was not all right 25 to 25S cents would
have been accepted. But the principal trou-
BILE was the absence of buyers, and hardly
enough large lots were disposed of to make
/ IA reliable basis for quotations.
The cheese situation Is steadily improving
from statistical standpoint. stocks are be.
ing reduced and common and medium grades
have almost wholly disappeared. Prices
here are firm and unchanged, with sales of
| fine September twins at l3 cents and other
good fall makes nj II to l24 cents.
There was very unsettled egg market
yesterday. Fresh eastern sold at IL to II
cents, and fancy new laid at 20 cents. The
/ nearby supply is steadily increasing. Storage
/ eggs were quiet at 10 to II cents.
! Hay Is quiet and steady mt sl7dls per ton
/ for best. Medium grades quoted at $l5dl6
and low grades at Sl2dH per ton. Rye straw
/ Is quiet at Sl4gli 80 per ton. Dat straw al
$sa9 per ton.

Dodge Them

Did you ever try to dodge the
rain-drops ? Did not succeed
very well, did you? It's just
as useless to try 10 escape from
the germs OF consumption. You
can't do it. They are about us
OH every hand and we are con-
stantiy taking them into our
lungs.
Then why don't we all have
this disease ? Simply because
these germs cannot gain a foot
hold in a strong throat and
lungs. It's when these are
weak that the germs master.
The body must be wei. supplied
with fat. The danger comes
when the blood is poor and the
body is thin. If your cough does
not yield, and your throat and
lungs feel raw and sore, you
should not delay another day.
