new territory is discovered. Some of the
old territory is developing new mines.
One of the most remarkable strikes We
have had recently said Governor Wells.
was that made by Samuel Newhouse,
man from Pennsylvania. He came to Utah
about two years ago and bought the High
land Boy, in the Bingham district. He
thought he was buying a low-grade gold
mine. and put up a cyanide mill to work it.
As he went down, however. he struck one
of the richest deposits of copper known to
the world. At first he did not say any
thing about the copper. He did not con-
slider 1t worth working, and covered it up
and went on with his gold. Later on. how
ever, he discovered its value. and since
then he has capitalized that mine al S12.-
To.~3 in 81 shares and sold it to eastern
parties. The stock is now worth about
about SIS. 600 600"
Where is the Bingham district, Governor

1T is just about twenty miles from the
city of Salt Lake. he replied. ut is very
rich in silver and gold and copper. 1t is
an old camp that has produced a great deal

Eastern Capitalists After Utah Mines.
GU speak about the mine being sold to
eastern men," said 1. rs there much east
ern capital coming to Utah?'
Yes. a great deal The eastern people
seem crazy for our mines. We used to
have to go down on our knees and ask
them to come out and look at them Now
they come to us. They have their experts
travelling about looking for good things.
1t is no trouble to sell a good mine now"
Among the men who have been buying
many properties in Utah." Governor Wells
went on, ARE the Guggenheims This is a
very wealthy family. There is an old man
and his seven sons. and together they rep
resent about $pWD,oOO. They are engaged
in smelling and mining. They have recently
formed an exploration company to purchase
mining property. and among others, have
been buying largely in Utah. They have IA
large number of smelters which they run
independently of the smeter trust"
How about the mines of Mercur and
TIntIc?"
They are doing very well. indeed" re-
piled Governor Wells. AT Mercur the ore
lies in a great blanket not far from the
surface. 1t is a low-grade ore. but it is
paying enormously. De Ia Mar has an enor-
nous property there. The old Mercur con-
tinues to pay as well as ever, and there are
other properties which are steady dividend
payers.
The Tintic district is about ninety miles
southeast of Salt Lake. right in the noun
tains. 1t is highly mineralized, containing
gold, silver, lead and copper. Among other
mines the Bullion Beck continues to pay.
The Centennial Eureka was recently sold
for SJ,VU,voo. l think Boston parties
bought it.
Another region that is paying well in the
silver distict is about Park City. The On
tario has already produced about $1,000 900
of silver and lead The DAILY and the DAILY
West mines are big producers. and the
Silver King, which was discovered about
1870, has, it is said $4,000 900 in sight AL
in all classes of mines every year. The state
has hardly been scratched, and we really

RED RICE PUZZLES PLANTERS.
OF Late Years 1t Has Increased in
Quantity on the Plantations.

From the savannah News.
The rice planters and millers of south
western Louisiana are having some trouble
with the crop of this season. For some I'M
accountable reason considerable percent
age of 1t is red. This is not the first season.
that red grains have appeared among the
white. to be sure, but never before has the
proportion been SO large An examination
by chemists has shown that the red rice Is
equally as nutritious as white. The value
of the article matter of food is not in
the least injured by the red grains But
the fact rem Tins that the colorrd grains in
JHre the sale of the rice they appear in.
There is II movement on foot among the
nillers looking TO the removal of the preju-
dice against red rice on the part of con-
sImcrS, but it may be doubted that it will
be ATTENDED speedily with gratifying "a
suits. 1t Is very hard to remove a preju-
dtcc, especially when it has to do with the
food one eats
Red rice, it IS said. grows more rapidly
with less cultivation ard ripenS quicker
than the white variety. Wht re it origi-
mated is not known, but SuppoSition among
louisiana planters is that it is the result of
careless or insufficient cultivation of white
rice. Once field plantation begins to
show red grains it is a matter of extreme
difficulty to prevent the red from increas-
ing rapidly, while without losing one or
More crops it is almost imposSibility to
eradicate it. Maturing before the white
grains the red rice drops seeds to the
ground before the crop is ready to be har-
vested These seeds lie during the winter
and terminate and grow the next spring
No way has been found to destroy the red
seeds left on the ground, except to permit
them to spring up alone and then cut down
and destroy the plants before they have
time to reproduce other seeds. This how
ever. IS very costly process and one
which is not likely to be resorted to often.
\ popularity in connection with the an
pcarance of red rice in Louisiana Is the fact
that it is giving the river planters no trou-
bic at all but is troubling the planters of
prairie lands exclusively

Making Sugar.

We took The train and followed the pine

Here the juice is heated; it Is mixed with

Getting Out the Juice.

The cut heets are next run through great
cauldrons or cells comprising a diffusion
battery. As they go from one to the other
the sugar water comes out. Every bit of
sweetness is extracted. and at the end
without squeezing the sugar has been taken
from the beet and is now mixed up In the
form of dirty black liquid. which looks
not unlike ink. The refuse or pulp is car
ried off by machinery and is pied up in

At n Beet Sugar Factory.

BY this time We had reached the factory
a big three-story building filled with curious
machinery. on one side of il We're two
sheds, each Of which it seemed to me was
half a mile long. To these came long lines
of teams dragging wagon loads Of bects.
Each team brought two or more tons The
beets We're weighed on the wagons before
they were unlnaded. and the men We're
paid cash according to the weight. From
the sheds the beets We're carried by water
into the factory, elevated by machinery
in great buckets on endless chains TO the
top floor. being washed by machinery as
they went The next process was cutting
them to pieces. This was done by little
knives, which sliced them into pieces about
the length and thickness of a slate pencil

WATERMELON CULTURE.
When Wisely Conducted, This Is "a
Very Pleasant and Profitable
Side Occupation.

Watermelons, like pumpkins, are
strong runners, and seed should be
planted in well-manured hills eight to
nine feet apart each way. Plant five
to ten seeds in hHl as soon as the
nights are quite warm and the trees
out in full leaf. Protect the Young
plants from insects, and when well
started thin out, leaving only the best
plant standing in each hill; cultivate
frequently and keep free from weeds.
When the vines are well started to run,
exercise care not to injure or bruise
them in any way, as they are quite
tender You should then pull the large
weeds by hand or use a hand hoe.
When the fruits are ripe the small
tendril at the base of the stem turns
brown, the skin where the fruit rests
on the ground becomes yellow, and
the melon has a hollow sound when
struck sharply with the finger; also,
if the hand is placed on the fruit and
some pressure applied, the flesh will
be heard to crack slightly. The ripe
fruits will keep a considerable time in
cool place.-Burpee's Vegetable
Guide.

In the effort to change bleakness
into beauty the greatest ally is the
tree. The tree is the easiest to estab-
lish because it can send down its roots
long distances into the moist subsoil,
and will exist when smaller plants per
ish with the drought. The trees once
established protect smaller plants that
are afterward set out and become the
sturdy barriers against destructive
winds and whitening heat. Trees, how
ever, must be themselves protected and
fostered till they have obtained firm
hold of the soil and have established
the ability of appropriating the soil
water.-Farmers' Review.

wax, so that no air or water can get
in. If all goes well, in short time
the buds on the scions will begin to
swell and grow. In year or two the
branch will be large enough to bear
apples.
For whip grating, the only tool
needed is a jackknife. The method is
practiced for branches about the size
of lead pencil. Make long slanting
cut across the branch, as shown in the
illustration. Then make another cut
little more than half way toward
the end of this slanting cut, as illus
trated, then cut the scion in exactly
the same way, holding the tip toward
you in making the cut. Place surface
of scion and stick together, pressing
the tongue of each into the cut of the
other. The barks of the two must
come together on at least one side. The
gratis must be waxed in waved cloth
made by dipping pieces of the cloth
into the grating wax.-Orange Judd
