THE MONARCH MINE.

The Monarch mine, in the Elliston dis
trict. about II miles north Of Basin.
which has been operated for the past six
months by ]. H. Lynch. w. c. Bachelor
and Dan Drew Of Butte. gives promise Of
becoming one of the best producing
mines in that section. Since last fall the
Butte men have had a force of men at
work, built a road to Basin. and shipped
considerable high-grade ore, carrying
copper and silver.
So encouraging was the outlook that
Messrs. Lynch & Co. have decided to
sink an additional 100 feet and thor
oughly develop the property. Associated
with them i'm this enterprise and in the
future operations of the Monarch are
Sheriff Regan, Thomas r.. Kinds and
Thomas Driscoll of this city. The work
OF sinking will begin in a few days.

AT QUlGLEY.

The machinery in the mammoth mill
erected some years ago on the Golden
Scepter properties at Quigley, has all
been removed by Fraser & Chalmers,
who held a Judgment against it, and all
hat remains of nearly a million invest
ment is a dismantled building, which
promise at one time of being one
of the big gold crushers Of the state.
This Inflated venture will long be re-
membered in that anu other portions of
the state. Ex-President Cleveland,
United States Senator Harris and other
l1otables of Washington were the finan-
cial hackers of the enterprise. George
H.. BabcOck. now of Philipsburg, was
the superintendent. After some little
development work on the mines the COM
pany decided to build a mammoth mill.
About the time the mill was completed,
at a cost of nearly a million dollars, it
was discovered that the ore bodies in the
mine were not permanent. The eastern
stockholders refused to pay the indebt-
edness and Fraser & Chalmers secured
u Judgment against the property for the
machinery furnished. The mill never
a wheel.
During h past few weeks a large
force OF men has been engaged in taking
out the machinery. Some of it was
shipped to Chicago, some to- the coast
and other portions sold to parties in
Montana. Oregon and Washington. 1t
is ONE Of the most %splendidly equipped
mills in the west. and no expense had
been spared In making it as complete as
possible. The town of Quigley, which
c boasted of two daily
and a population of about 5000 or 1000,
now consists of about a dozen or more
people, who are engaged in prospecting
around that district.

"RAZORBACk" HAMS.
A Gvxat American Product and How
1t Was Named.

A Srxat American Product and How
1t Was Named.
Zone of the best and apparently not
the least appreciated of the many i'm
portant food products which America
sends to England and France is the
celebrated 'Smithield' or 'razorback'
ham, for about So, 900 of such hams are
annually shipped to those two countries
from this CITY,, said a leading exporter
of provisions in New York to a writer
for the Washington Star. ':In Eng
land, where the domestic hams have a
tendency to be fat and coarse, our
Smithfield hams have among connois-
seurs a very high reputation for lean
ness and great delicacy Of favor, both
of which qualities are not thought to
be excelled by even the famous West
phalian hams of Germany. AS the Brit
ish consumer is willing to pay a fancy
price for the product, some of our
choicest 'razorbacks' are exported to
John Bulls markets.
1.-THE name 'razorback' is derived
from a small town on Pagan creek, near
Norfolk, Va, where some hundred
years ago the hams were first cured by
a man named Todd of Smithfeld. The
animal which produces the Smithfield
ham is a semiwild hog that is found in
the mountains Of Virginia, Kentucky
and Tennessee. The hog peculiar to
these regions is long nosed, slabsided
and has unusually long legs. 1t is not a
prepossessing animal, but when proper
~ fed it supplies a ham that is unex-
celled anywhere in the world.
"Much of the fine flavor which is
characteristic of these hams is largely
due to the care that is exercised by the
farmers in feeding the hogs. In summer
the young 'razorback' is allowed to
run wild in the woods, and his meat
thereby gains a gamy flavor by fall,
when he is turned into a field from
which crops have been gathered in or
der to fatten. In the district which
produces the most Smithfeld hams
there r large quantities of sweet po-
tatoes and peanuts grown.
Both these foods fatten the animal
with astonishing rapidity, but the fat
is still soft. SO the next step is to pen
the hog up and give him corn and
plenty Of clear water. With this diet
the animals flesh hardens quickly to
the desired extent, and he is then ready
to kill. The curing is done with Liver
pool, salt and saltpeter, after which the
hams are washed clean and slowly
smoked for 40 days over green hickory
or red oak wood. Many farmers raise
the hogs, but few cure them. They are
sold to skillful curers, who supply the
market"

When Europe's supply of any sort
of a product is short it Immediately
turns to the United States to meet it's
need. This has been the case in
wheat and other agricultural products
for many decades. The article
whose shortage now begins to trouble
the old world is coal. A coal famine
is threatened on the other side of the
Atlantic, and England, France, Italy,
Germany and other countries are any
ious concerning it. Several causes
may be assigned for the failure Of the
coal supply. Though there was ap-
parently a small increase in the coal
production in England in 1899, and a
larger gain in Germany, the supply in
Europe in general seems to have been
hardly in proportion to the population.
The increase in the Industrial activity,
and consequently the demand for coal,
seems to have grown faster than popu-
lation. The time is not far distant
when the coal fields of North Dakota
will attract the attention of the world
as a source of supply for cheap fuel.

AT the annual meeting Of the ma
tional live stock association the fol-
lowing from the address of President
Springer proves the advance in value
of the stockmen's holdings:
Less than ten years ago your range
horses were Selling at from SIS to $50
on the market. To-day they bring
from $40 to $50, while your h~igh-class
saddle and coach horses are selling at
their highest figure, even to $1,000
apiece. Less than ten years ago your
cattle down here in Texas We're sold at
So for a cow, with calf thrown in, while
today the COW is worth from SIS up,
and the calf at least $40 more.
Less than a decade has passed since
wool went wool gathering at 8 cents
a %poundaon the range, while next years
crop is now being contracted by the
big buyers at 20 cents on the ranch.
While our sheep, which wandered aim
lessly over the trackIess plains and
sage brush flats could find no buyer at
50 and 50, whereas now, anything
with wool on it's back is being searched
for with great diligence at from $3.50
to 81 each. r..
Yes, and not to overlook the Ameri-
can hog, years ago he squealed for
takers at $2.75 per ewt., while now
$4.75 and IS is paid without the
squeal being thrown in at all.
Is it any wonder, my friends, when
you look the facts squarely in the face,
that the live stock industry Of the
United States is to be found harnessed
to the chariot of progress.

ippines opposed to their retention.
They came back with the opposite
view. Lieut.. Gilmore, a prisoner with
the Tagals for nine months, was car
ried from point to point over the most
of Northern Luzon. No other Amer
lean has had equal opportunities for
observing the Tagals as they are. He
says they are constitutionally untam-
able and that as long as they are alive
there will be revolutions. Perhaps
the lieutenant, smarting with recent
h~ardships, puts the case strongly. But
Prof. Schurman, after months of in
spection, changed his opinion about
Filipino government. Gen. Wheeler
was struck by the backwardness of
the people and the evident necessity of
a long course of civilization. Sena-
tors like Hoar, Pettigrew and Mason
have in their minds an idealized Agui-
naldo and Filipino race. No one has
ever seen them. They exist only in
the heated Imagination of men who
insist that their flights of fancy and
abstract conceptions about a revolu-
tionary tribe are superior to facts.
Not n actual observer supports
them.

Thoroughbreds and Grades.

~A
It is often a mistake of young breed
ers to suppose that the fine appearing
grade stock which they have secured
by crossing pure bred animals with ma
tive stock will prove as good as it looks
when put to the test of breeding. This
in the nature of things cannot be The
case, says the Boston Cultivator. All
the excellencies Of the pure bred stock
have been fixed in it by more or less
close breeding, or, in other words, breed
ing to nearly related stock. The prod
uce Of this in and in breeding is quite
likely to be somewhat delicate in con-
stitutional vigor, and it requires that
there be bred several strains Of the same
breed SO as to perpetuate its excellences
in lines not too closely related. By
breeding two animals Of these different
strains together, enough new blood is
introduced to maintain the stamina Of
the breed and yet without lessening its
special value for the purposesfor which
1t has been bred. Crossing to wholly
unrelated stock produces a mongrel that
is more than likely to perpetuate the
worst qualities of both dam and sire If
carried beyond the first cross, which as
an individual may be better than Ell
ther. The grade males should always
be emasculated while young. The fe-
males may be kept as breeders IL they
are always bred to pure bred males Of
the same breed which produced the
