Canada's Yield Of Conner.

The Dominion OF Canada in 1898 produced
$3.50 long tons of copper as compared with
Montana's output OF loo $50 tons, and with
the remarkable yield OF the world famous
Calumet and Hecla mines of Montana.
(which last year shipped no less than Al
900 tons. The famous Rio Tinto mines OF
Spain, with the management of which w.
A. Carlyle. late OF Rossland. Is now con-
nected. also made a splendid copper yield
last year. the output being 34.370 tons.
Moreover, Canada's total yield of last year
was on the other hand that CT British
South Africa, where copper-producing
mines I'm Cape Colony and Namaquoland
together produced 6.49o tons, or slightly
less than the Canadian output Mean
while Newfoundland which is steadily in
creasing its copper output. gave a yield
of 2 TOO tons in 1899.

LIBERTY. Walter Clough of this village.

LIBERTY. Walter ClOugh of this village,
only child of widowed mother, started
for Colorado Monday morning to try and
regain his health. For the past two years
he has been in the employ Of his uncle, B.
F. ClOugh, who is in the lumber business in
Charlestown, Mass. He came home about
four weeks ago to rest and recuperate, but
finding he grew no better he sought medical
advice, and that advice was that he change
climate at once. Walter is about % years of
age and one Of the finest young men in this
vicinity. He has the sympathy of all who
know him-a sympathy that took substan-
tial form and sent mems hands into their
pockets, and in few hours nearly 200 dol
lars in cash was realized. The Grange of
which he were member gave $25; one indi-
vidual gave S25, another SIS, others $40,
and SO down as they could afford. All, with
the exception of a very few, gave something,
and he started out with the earnest prayers
of the entire community for his speedy re-
covery, and early return to his disconsolate
mother. Since Walter left town j. j.
Walker has received letters containing
liberal checks from Meservey & Lord of
Vassslboro and Prof. Geo. E. Berry, Ham
elton, New York =; also letter from George
L. White of BrocktOn, Mass, stating that
he would see him on his way and give him
$780,. W. D. Sanford has another order from
Chicago for a car load of apples, which he
will ship as soon as he can obtain car
Though the farmers do not get much out of
their apples it makes business quite lively
for the teams hauling them to the station at
Belfast, and 7. P. Mathews is glad to give
them return freight, for he is unable to sup
ply the demand for grain. For want of
meal one night last week he was COM
PEELED to take Graham meal from his
store, worth three cents per pound, to
feed his hogs. He recently bought 1,50O
bushels of corn and had it hauled as fast
as he could, and when the last load
arrived people were waiting for it, the.sup-
ply on hand having been exhausted. He
wishes to buy 5000 bushels of oats, and will
pay Belfast prices or better He has bought
several hundred bushels from Woodbury. of
Morrill, We cannot help thinking that
there is something radically wrong in our
system of farming, when so much grain is
bought that could be produced here. There
was a fine crop of corn and oats here this
season, some getting as high as 50 bushels
of oats to the acre, and in some cases
double that amount of corn. The question
is why is this thus ?... The Comrades of B
II. Bradstreet Post, G. A. R., and ladies,
will have another Of their enjoyable soci-
ables at their Post rooms Tuesday after
noon, Nov. Goth. A clam stew will be serv-
ed. All comrades are requested to be pres
ent, and to bring ladies'.
