is by no means new one on

Farmers Will Have to Dig Up.

The case of Mo ney & Champine vs..
Studebaker ct al, which was an action to
recover on notes given to the Realty
Revenue Guaranty Company of Mime
apolls, and afterwards bought by Mooney
& Champine, came up for hearing before
Judge Kneeshaw at Lapgdor last week.
The court instructed the'jury to bring in
a verdict for the plaintiffs This practi-
cally decides all these cases, in which
many farmers in Wells AMI adjoining
counties are interested, and it looks like
the notes must now be paid. The moral
of the Realty Company's transactions in

mers have to show for their money, Is to
beware insurance frauds, steel range
swindlers and medicine quacks, all
whom have piled their nefarious schemes

Jud and His Sugar Coated Pills.

While I was in the senate hall this big
man Jud, the tall pine of the Pembina's,
came in with package of candy. He
scattered them among his neighbors and
then threw some over among the messen-
ger boys, and seemed greatly unused to
see them scramble for the sweet bits. He
saw the senate in miniature in that COM
pany of boys. Ono little fellow did not
get any, and showing his big hand down
into the package, he went quietly over
and filled that little chaps lap. They tell
me that is what no does all the time up
in Pembina county, and that is the rea-
son he has represented his county in the
senate from the organization of the state.

VOTE ON BONDS.
Citizens of Langdon Will Vote on Bonds at
the Spring Election.

At the approaching city election
a vote Will be taken on the ques-
ton of issuing bonds for the pur-
pose Of securing additional fire
protection. The council finally
reached this determination at their
meeting of Monday night, when
they we're waited upon by a COM
mittee appointed by meeting Of
citizens and business men held on
Friday, which, after a full discus
soin of the question, decided by a
unanimous vote, that, as citizens,
they deemed it advisable to take
the step. Since the Park River
fire the topic of protection has
been an interesting ard much dis
cussed question. The detail OF
the plan of protection the city
authorities have IN view has al
ready been made public, and now
that the citizens have in repre-
sentative meeting unanimously
expressed themselves iu favor of
issuing bonds for the purpose, the
council feel that the way is clear
for voting on the matter at the
annual spring election. The law
makes special provision for raising
the bonding limit Of cities, where
the object is for protection gainst
fire, and it is likely that bonds for
$4,000 or $4,000 will cover the
amount required for the purpose.

MICHIGAN COPPER OUTPUT SMALLER

In the state of Michigan last year 49,
576313 pounds OF copper was produced.
This is slight falling off as compared
with previous years. The lessened pro-
duction has been caused by the fire in
the Calumet & Hecla which cut down the
output temporarily and prevented it
from being the largest ever known in the
states history
In 1899 the output of Michigan copper
was IA. 965,73S pounds. and during the
previous year 142,7025S6 pounds were
mined.
1t is not unlikely that the coming wear
will see an advance in copper production
in Michigan. New shafts are going
down and old workings being rut in COM
mission. When the record of the next
years production is made up it is very
probable that an increase instead of a
decline will be noted.
TSe figures of the states, production
here given will assist in correcting the
wrong impression which prevails con-
corning the output Of these mines. There
has been no increased production in
Michigan copper.

the RIO TINIO REPORT,

The twenty-eighth annual report Of
the great Spanish copper mines contains
figures of more than ordinary interest
to those interested in the production Of
the red metal.
The report of the Rio Tinto mines for
the past year shows profit of 50, 700, 900.
The years dividends amount to IS per
cent.
During the past five years the output
at the mines has reached the stupendous
total of sO,7sl, 900 tons of pyritic ore and
from this product 100000 tons of metal
Eere extracted. r.
1t is estimated that the amount of
copper in reserve heaps will amount to
12s.o16 tons. This is an increase from
the figures of 1899 when the reserve was
11s,651 tons.
The untouched deposits of ore are said
to be sufficient to give the mines a life
time of 20 years. About 100000 tons Of
ore are taken out each year, and the
estimates of the amount of copper yet
to be mined are based upon this rate OF
production.

COPPER Is iNDiSPt NSABlf.

Concerning the probability of copper
falling below it's present price, John
Stanton, the noted statistician, speaks
interestingly. Eastern papers quote him
as speaking with confidence of the pros
pect for continued high price. In an in
terview few days ago he said:
1T is possible, but highly improbable
that the United Metals Selling company
will reduce the price of refined copper.
The electrical field has been only par
TALLY developed. and within a very few
years there will not be nearly enough
copper to supply the demands, and, Of
course, the prices must advance as de-
mand exceeds the supply.
1T is idle to talk of the substitution
Of platinum for copper. All must rec
ognize that copper is Indispensable, and
while supply is for the moment slight
~ in excess of the demand. this condi
ton will last but short time. I believe
that practically all the larger producers
will agree to curtail production until the
demand catches up. III
Il see little reason for the Distinction
generally made between lake and cleo.
trolytic copper. The latter is generally
quoted sc below the price of lake. For
many reasons, electrolytic is more de-
sirahle than lake. Eighty per cent of
the manufacturers can use electrolytic,
with as much satisfaction as lake. Manu-
facturers of many of the ocean cables.
have preferred to use electrolytic cop
per even at the same price as lake. s4l
There has been better demand
among consumers for copper and buyers
are urging quick deliveries. Many pro-
ducers outside the Amalgamated COM
pany have been compelled to turn away,
business. simply because they found
themselves unable to make deliveries
within the time required.
THE Amalgamated company has UNI
doubtedly been able to work off large
part of its surplus stock. The fact that
copper exports are increasing will soon
prove to be an important factor in the
situation" 4,

Industrial depression abroad has done
much to cut down the demand for
American copper. The experiment with
tariff tinkering in Germany I'm recent
years and the Industrial troubles In
France, which are now threatening to
break forth in a general strike of coal
miners, have put a crimp in the pros
perfty of these countries from which
they Will not recover for a time. The
good fortunes Of Europe have become
the concern of America since this coun-
try began to be the supply house of the
world.
Ten thousand miles of copper cable
laid across the Pacific will take a large
share of the surplus of copper now on
hand for it's construction. That this
cable will be built there is NO doubt, and
it's construction will so long way
toward solving the question of a copper
surplus by furnishing a strong stimulant
to the local market. re
