THE NEW

Boston News Bureau: It was just about
two years g that the promoters of new
copper stocks began to offer their wares
for sale. The Arcadian was launched in
June, 1898, the Adventure in September
of the same year, n then folloWed in
rapid succession between 80 and 40 cop
per properties located in Michigan, Utah,
Arizona, British Columbia, Idaho and
even North Carolina.
Twenty-Five of the better known prop
critics We're placed Upon the market for
$23, 900, 900, of which $4,000. 900 was placed
in the respective treasures for develop
ment work. A year later, or April, 1899,
r one Of II csc pro rites ha" reacha | the
producing stage, and yet were selling in
the market for above $56, 600, 900, Or at a
premium over the subscription value OF
$50 per cent.
Out Of all these new mines only one
the B~altic-Which was placed on the mar
ket in November, 1897, at s3.75 per share,
is now an active producer eft copper.
Much has been said and written about
the probability of these properties placing
SO much copper ON the market as to be
an important factor in affecting the price
of the metal. Events have proved hat
there was little ground for such appre-
nension.
The Arcadian has a stamp mill and the
Helvetia a smelter, but these companies
are at present only small producers Of
copper. Aside from these mines, non of
the new copper properties have even a
| mill. Baltic is sending it's rock to the
| Atlantic mill, and has recently levied a
| So assessment which will be used to put
up one of it's own. Mass has levied an
! assessment of 81 and will doubtless call
! another to provide for a mill to be COM
! pleted early next year. Adventure and
| Mohawk have called assessments to pay
for mill construction, and the TrimOun-
tain will doubtless do the same. Bingham
is putting up a 300-ton smelter, to pay
| for which it was found necessary to incur
a floating debt of $150,000.
When the Arcadian company issued Its
circular, proposing an increase in the cap
| ital stock from 100, 900 to $50. 900 shares, a
production of "a. 600, 900 pounds of copper
by the end of 1899 was considered posi-
/ Bile, The circular also made the following
| Interesting statement: Stockholders VIII
he entitled to receive from July l, 1899,
the net earnings as fast as earned
July, 1900, has passed. and stockholders
have received no met earnings"
The Arcadian people were not alone in
the matter of ~extravagant statements re-
specting the outlook for the new mines"
MANY of these propositions after two
wears of development work do not give
/ sufficient evidence of profitable mineral
ground to warrant the erection OF a mill,
/ While in others the showing is such that
tthp directors are considering" the stamp
/ mill question.
IT is, therefore. out of the question to
look for any material increase in the pro-
duction of copper from this quarter for
some years at least.

AN OFFER To BUY
COPPER CLIFF COMPANY CONsID-
ERS PROPOSITION OF AN
EASTERN SYNDICATE. "

Judge ]. w. Burton of Salt Lake, who
arrived in the city yesterday from a visit
of inspection to the Copper Cliff mine in
which he is interested, departed for his
home this afternoon, after a consultation
with the other stockholders in the city.
Judge Burton was much pleased with
the development work at the mine and
thinks that the Copper Cliff will prove
a big copper producer in the near future.
The company cid a meeting in Butte
to-day and considered the offer of an
eastern syndicate for the purchase of the
mine at stiff figures. 1t was stated by
one of the stockholders that no definite
action was taken on the offer, but that

AN EQUINiNE PARADOX.
'Sixty-One Horses Being at One Time in
One Ring.

Among the hundreds of star features
associated with Ringing Brothers cir
Gus this season, nothing has attracted
more attention or excited more admiring
Omment than the marvellous perform
ances of O'Brien's school Of high-bred
equines. Embraced in this eQuinine COM
pany are sixty-one of the handsomest
horses ever seen In a circus ring; a fact
which all who witness the performances
of Ringing Brothers circus when it ex-
hibits in Butte, Thursday, August %. will
be able to attest. Three features of this
great act are particularly notable; the
large number of horses, the greatest
company of equines ever trained in this
way, the brilliancy and costly magnifi-
cence of the t%rappings, n the immense
amount Of paraphernalia used in the pro-
duction. The display is given in the mid
die ring. This arena is especially con
structed for the act, and is carried by
the show. Instead Of the usual circle Of
earth, there is a wooden parapet, the
top Of which forms a narrow circular
platform enclosing the arena. In the
center of the ring is a succession OF ctr;
cular stages, rising like terraces one
above the other, and ending in a lofty
PEDESTAL. The director takes his station
in the arena. A signal given, and a
handsome thoroughbred, with arched
neck and waving plumes, canters into the
ring. This proud specimen of horsehood,
the matchless charger, "Silver King is
the avant courier of sixty beautiful
equines, gorgeously caparisoned, but I'M
restrained by rein or bride, which APP
proach with the whirl and sweep of a
cavalry charge, n then, suddenly halt
ing in their mad fight, line up in solid
column, awaiting with proud impatience
the first orders of their implicity-obeyed
trainer. The performance that follows
staggers even the evidences of the senses.
The equine actors, without the slightest
hesitation or prompting, execute the most
difficult evolutions, dance, pirouette,
form colossal tableaux, and go through
the movements of a difficult military
march. Then a score or more of the
horses AXE their places IN the parapet
of the ring; others group themselves
upon the circular central stages. At the
apex is the shapely "Silver King" Vault
ing upon the back of this beautiful
! equine, and raising the superb animal
until he seems to be poised in air, the
rainier mods his head. Instantly the
great company of horses is in motion.
Some run to the right, others to the left,
forms. With their sleek coats cleaning,
with their Xadiantly-beautiful %trappings
glittering in the light, and the waving of
their vari-colored plumes, they form a
picture of indescribable beauty, lovely
in it's coloring, and thrilling in its dram
attic effect. This finale never fails to Gre
ate a sensation. O'Brien's famous sixty
one horse act is only one of scores of fea-
lures with this great show which pre-
SCENTS the finest geological display, the
most complete circus performance, the
most historic ,hippodrcme, and the finest
free street parade ever seen on earth.

PIGS RELISH ROOTS.
They Form Desirable Additions to
Winter Rntions and Promote
Health and Growth

All farm animals relish succulent
foods, and different forms of vegetable
roots have long been fed more or less
to sheep and cattle as desirable addi-
tons TO dry winter rations. Pigs.
however, in winter have usually had
to be content with grain or mill feed
and water, or, perhaps, skim milk.
Succulent food has not been thought
of for them, excepting in few cases.
Some experiments on the suitability
of silage as pig feed have been con-
Quoted, but with most unsatisfactory
returns. 1t was not found to be de-
sirable pig food. Roots, however,
offer a more appetizing substance for
pigs, and here and there is found a
farmer who has fed sugar beets or
artichokes toxswine with results that
have called forth his approval. Man
gelwurzels furnish the farmer with
a large amount of succulent winter
food in the form of roots. Very great
yields have been reported by various
cultivators, wherein it has been
shown that the cost per ton for pro-
duction is comparatively light. In
1898, at this station, as high as 25H
tons of mangels were produced per
acre, Mt a cost of only IS cents per
ton harvested.-C. S. Plumb, Indiana

FOOD AFFECTS WOOL.
Why IL Is Important tn Provide sheep
with Proper N"urishmcnt the
Year Around.

A bulletin of the Michigan station
says: The strength of the weakest
place in the fiber decides the strength
OF the whole fiber. So far as the
writer has been able to discover there
is no special ration, which, If fed to
sheep, will produce wool of great
strength, nor can we. at any time,
say that any special ration is to be
recommended to produce large
quantity of wool. 1t has often been
observed that sheep and lambs that
have been on full feed for long peri
DDS shear heavy feeces of wool.
This would indicate that any ration
calculated to keep the sheer in a
thrifty condition would be a suitable
one for growing large quantities of
wool. From what we have said above.
the wool grower Will understand that
1t is highly desirable to provide the
sheep proper nourishment through
out the year, permitting no periods
of neglect to intervene to DESTROY the
strength of the fibers of the fleece.
Liberal and judicious feeding does not
change the quality of the wool. but
IT does affect the strength and the
quantity of the wool produced by a
given sheep. The weight of wool pro-
duced is affected both by increasing
the length of fiber and by increasing
the amount of yolk and natural oil
in the fleece

STRAW ON THE FARM.
IL Has Many Uses and the Man Who
wastes Ii Does Not Understand
HIS Business

One of the greatest wastes about
the average farm, especially in the
great grain districts of the west. is
IN the straw. Where headers are used
ana the straw left to turn under with
the blowing, some of the substance
taken from the soil by the growing
grain is returned to it. but this is a
waste as there is not got out of the
straw the best there is in il. This
method, however. is far better than
another which, strange to saw. is
quite general This is piling the straw
In some slough or out OF the wav
nook and leaving it to rot down and
be carried away by the elements.
PROBABLY the most value straw pos
SeSSes is as q roughness in feeding
cattle. If properly put up and fed,
oat. wheat and fax straw is valu-
able addition TO the rations of cattle
OF all kinds. The reason cattle usual
~ refuse TO touch straw is because it
IS spoiled or musty. As much care
should be taken in stacking straw as
IN stacking hay. Usually the stack
ing is done with view of getting the
straw out of the way of the machine
rather than with any thought as to
its turning the rain. The stack is
nothing more than a huge pile of
straw thrown together by three or
four boys hired to take the dirtiest
and most disagreeable job around the
threshing machine. The sides and
top of such pile will become soaked
with the first rains and before the
winter is well on will be unfit for feed
There are other uses than feeding
that straw can be put TO with profit.
IT makes the best kind of mulching
for strawberry beds. potato fields,
etc, adding richness to the soil and
preventing the growth of weeds. In
putting up hay sheds and windbre axis
1t is the best Of material TO use, as il
packs closely, keeping out wind and
turning rain. Even when rotted in
the stack, hauled out and scattered
over the fields it still possesses a value
as fertilizer. Do not let the straw
go to waste.-Prairie Farmer
