STRICTLY FRESH EGGS.
New York to BE Supplied from Lars-
est Chicken Ranch in the
World.

New York is soon to have in it's vicin-
ity the largest chicken ranch in the
world. At Manasquan, N. j., a COM
pany has secured tract of $50 acres to
conduct giant hen industry, conduct
ed on scientific methods. The COM
pany, say its promoters, intends to
control the New York market for
guaranteed" fresh-laid eggs. They
will. they say, deliver eggs in boxes,
each box stamped with the date of lay
ing, and delivered to the customers
within "a hours after the eggs are laid.
. The city of New York last year paid
more than $2O,o0O.p0O for eggs, most of
them more or less stale, the consump-
ton being 1OO,00O.O0o dozens. The
first years output of the enormous
new chicken ranch now being laid out
will be 3o,ooo,ooo eggs. This will be
the product Of a laying herd" of from
100000 to 100000 chickens. The es-
tablishment is being planned to in
crease to double that amount.
The fowls will be herded under the
system invented by J. r.. Benson, an
authority on everything pertaining to
the hen and. its product Mr. Benson
is the general manager of this gigan-
tic concern. which will be the biggest
in the world. ysxz# III .... ..,. p. : -1s {.

Americans Make Splendid Showing

Paris, July 16.-The American ath-
letes, fresh from their victories in Lon
don, won the only two events decided
Saturday and secured leading places in
all the trials which took place on the
opening day of the worlds amateur
championships, held under the aus
pices Of the exposition. Not more than
1000 spectators were present, and. the
majority Of these came from America.
The Americans started by winning
the first heat in the 10 metres hurdles,
and places in the other two heats. which
they converted into complete victory
in the final heat, they winning first,
second and third places.
This they followed up by winning
first and second places in the 100 metres
fat race, and they would have been

WILL GROW BETTER.


Il New. ! ork, July 16.-Bradstreet's SAYS
While trade is still of only midsummer
volume, the beginnings: of Improvement In;
demand are apparently becoming visible
The Improvement is still one Of tone,
rather than of actual demand but with,
as seems probable, a yield of 10000 900
bushels of wheat, next to record-break-
ing yield of corn ard very large pro-
duct1on of oats, the western crop Situ.,
alton contains many encouraging feat
ures. The southern cotton crop has un-l
doubtedly suffered, and the condition Is
unprecedentedly low for this season of
the year. but the acreage planted was q
large one. and prices are SO much high
ersthat a satisfactory financial return is
confidently looked for. In addition, rail-
road earnings point to the maintenance
of the. business of the country at a vol
ume IN excess of last year The effort
OF the big iron and steel concerns to
control prices, If really made, has
proven abortive, and another wholesale
siashing of quotations is to be reported.
PRODUCTION, however, is falling off, and
increases of furnace stock, though con-
siderable, would seem small If renewed
activity occurred. The Industrial situa-
Etlont is rather better, as result of agree
ments upon wages by a number of iron
and steel manufacturing concerns and
their employees. Lower prices for lum-
4 Der are apparently inducing more activ-
ity in building, though how much is due
to this, or how much to the settlement
OF LABOR disturbances, is hard to meas
%ure.'' }3s |'.~ III ~ - S<5ss-5 o. tE9 MS
The end at The crop year has brought
the usual estiR2ltes which command no
more confidence than usual II the coun-
try can get out of crop officially called
5H GOO, 600 bushels, all it wants for food
and seed, and 2Oo,OOo,OO0 bushels for ex.
port, with considerably left over in siga*,

needless. There is not evidence yet, and
for some time to come cannot be, that

LARGE FIND OF GOLD IsMADR.


Strange as itmay appear, only with
in the last few days have the mining
men Of the Black Hills become aware.
that in a certain locality there are mil
lions Of tons Of gold ore lying on the
surface and available for immediate
treatment that will yield an average
of eight dollars per ton The locality
referred to is in the Ragged Top dis
strict. The ore body is fiat, ranging
from four to forty feet in thickness,
with q minimum average of 128feet,
and its width on the surface is from
500 to 1000 feet, with an average of
not less than 500 feet, and is exposed
for q distance of 5000 feet north and
south. Over this immense area Of
5000, 600 square feet no bunch OF, grass,
sits,is said, can be pulled up and dirt
shook out Of the roots and assayed but
what will return gold value of not
less than three dollars and as high as
$40 per ton. ats@r ~ zssszss5g
A company which owns the ground
has enough insight to justify the con-
struction of 150-ton daily capacity
cyanide plant at cost of $50 600.
The ore is an alternated limestone
and jasper, and lies on top of the car
boniferous formation on the divide be-
tween Calamity and Johnson gulches.
Owing to the character of the ore, 1t
is estimated that the expense of min
ing and treatment will not be greater
than one. dollar per ton of the ore. The
company which owns the ground is
composed of Colorado Springs (Co1.)
capitalists, who 5siu develop and work
every foot of ground owned by them.

TO HAVE NEW CARPET.
The Red Room at the White sou.e
TO BE Renovated During Presi-
dents Absence

. COL, Bingham has just ordered a
new carpet for the red room at the
white house, which is about the only
really new thing to be added there
this summer. Other repairs are nec-
essary in the red parlor, as it gets
about as much hard wear as a WAITING
room in a railway station. Thousands
of tourists walk about over the car
pet and sit on the couches and chairs
during the twelvemonth. besides the
hundreds of feet that cross and re-
cross it at the many handshakings to
which the president is subjected.
Last years repairs to the white house
were so thorough that little besides
the commonplace summer cleaning
that falls to the lot of every good
housekeeper is needed.
A few new covers, a little mending
and upholstering, with small
amount of paint, is the extent of the
work to be done while the presidential
household is away. New floors are
one of the things in store for the his
toric old building in the near future
and by common consent should be OF
steel that they may last through the
future life of. the building.
Those in the house now are safe. but
+ much in need of replacing. Col. Bing-
ham takes pride in the general good
repair of the house and says it is
much better than for many years
| New window sills and window
weights, door sills and hinges, locks
and other homely little repairs are
closely looked after
