Copper Shares ss An investment,

The Statist of London, one of the most carefully edited papers pub lished, has something to say about in yestmeDts in copper properties tbat Is worthy of most careful thought by all persons seeking such investments. It says:
 "Observsnt persons have noted the fact that to acquire an interest at d profitable figure in any of the big cop per companies nowadays Is an impos slbility. The fact IS that the big profits in copper were made by the people who took their chances and went in on their judgment when the big cOppers were little ones The only great opportunity for investors today Is the same as those their predecessors had in years gone by, and, as result, new companies having valuable prop critics furnish the best source of profit able investment today"
 The above is absolutely correct During the past few months many Arizona copper stocks have increased in value many fold. shannon stock was selling last fall at s2.5O; today it cannot be had at sl5. CUbre Grande was put on the market only few months ago at s2 50; 1t Is now selling in New York at S52. And 50 it has been with dozens of other new com. panies which are actually working and developing their properties. h. yestors should first ascertain all infor- nation possible in regard to companies | offering stock for sale, and especially as to the management and the charae. ter of the men who are operating the property. Where home people, ia miliar with the property aud its man, agement, make investments, 1t will be | pretty safe for outsiders to follow. All will not develop into great properties, | but some of them will, and many oi them will be payers if the money de, rived from the sale of treasury stock is judiciously expended in the devel opment of the property. Arizona is full of most promising prospects which need only capital to be developed into producing mines. Eastern people should use discretion in purcha sing stock, because there are many "wlld. | cats" on the market, some of them promising dividends, winch have never been heard of in the sections where their mines are supposed to be | located.

Thomas Lamb, Robert Perrin and other associations have bonded their mines in the Graham mountains to St Louis parties for sso,OOo. Ihls deal was made this week. The first payment on the bond, SiO, 900, IS to be made in forty days from the date of executing the deed. Guardian.
 kean St. Charles and brother, John, have bonded the Midnight for large amount of money to mining com pany. The Midnight is one of the largest veins in the Chloride country and outcrops for nearly six miles The pinkham is on the same vein and is also showing up big ore bodies. The ore streak in the Midnight car ries good values in gold, silver and copper. --Mohave County Miner.
 One hundred and thirty thousand dollars is the sum stated in bond ut tered by Messrs. Baxter, Irish and Ellis to a Colorado man. Of this sum ten per cent is understood to have been paid down. The properties re- ferred to in the bond are the Twin Buttes, nineteen copper claims, In the Serritas, and some twenty-eight miles south by west of Tucson. The prop critics have been opened up and offered to the Colorado man to ex- anime pretty thoroughly. More than likely this deal will be initiative of other transfers in the Sierritas and Tucson mountains. Star.
 There is considerable justificat on in the plea for A national mining bureau, or a member in the cabinet, says the Prospector, when 1t is stated that the department of agriculture at Washington employs 2,5OO clerks. Conservative estimates place the min eral output for this year at fully sl,- 900, 900, 900, and yet there is no division in the great federal machinery of the government to look after the mag nificent industry of mining With 2,- 300 persons looking after the turnips, cabbages and pumpkins of this broad land, it does seem that fair play ought to suggest the expenditure of few dollars at feast in behalf Df the eco- homie production of mineral.
 Work is steadily progressing at the Great Belcher, says the Prescott Pros- pect. The large shaft is now down about $50 feet and 1t will be driven to the l, ,OOO-foot level as soon as money and men can do it, When that level IS reached it is proposed to crosscut and then drift until the property is thoroughly exploited, The vein mat ter of the Great Belcher is A matriX of pyritic porphyry 0r felsite from twenty to two hundred feet wide lying in be- tween granite on the east ana DOT phyry on the west. To secure the values of the Great Belcher ore con centration is necessary. If the work as mapped out is carefully carried through few people in this country have little doubt but the expectations of the company will be realized.

To Mako French Women Taller.

Word comes from Paris that the
fair Parislennes are consumed by
desire TO rival their Anglo-Saxon sis
ters in stature, and q Paris doctor
has come to the rescue with science.
He has elaborated an ingenious pro-
cess by which the joints of the ankles
and knees are to be daily operated
on with an electric bulb. He says that
the osseous matter at the sections of
the joints will thereby be expanded
and the growth of the bones stimu-
lated. The bulb is also 30 be applied

The doctor says he eau prove by
successes obtained Oh patients who
have already been heightened that
be can add two-flftLs OF an inch Il

After six months the continual treat
ment is stopped temporarily and is
resumed later if necessary. The
patients should be young and supple,
otherwise the effects of stretching
their joints might be grave.
Whatever truth there is iu the doc
tors assertions it is certain that he
will be besieged. Correspond

A Poorly Matehed Team. .

In their zeal for automobile pro-
gress or for good roads ardent auto
mobilists and good roads advocates,
as we all should be, are constantly
coupling two movements of very une-
quail natural speed. The tortoise and
the hare are aarnessed under the same
yoke, in the hope that the good roads
tortoise, built for slow progress, may
be accelerated somewhat by It's more
rapid companion. The Improvement
OF roads Is pronounced absolutely es-
sential for automobile advancement,
dictum to which the American auto
mobile builder and user will not sub
scribe. Though obvious. 1t seems to
be overlooked that spry automobiiism
endowed with a natural energy to
overcome all obstacles by Its own in
herent vitality, must needs suffer un-
der the drag OF running mate which
is destined to crawl slowly over preju-
dice, financial distractions and official
dilatoriness.--Au Topics. Z

Notified Butter.

The notifies in butter have always
been q source of trouble and vexation
to butter makers and it mattered not
how much care was used in treating
the milk and churning the butter,
those tantalizlng and cussword starter
notifies would persist in developing
in the finished butter.
There are many causes for nothing
and we will begin with the bag of the
COW, for in warm climates or in warm
weather when the COW in the evening,
with the bag very full of milk, is
driven a long distance from the pas
ture to the milking pen. the jostling
of the bag will often cause particles
of butter to be churned In the bag
and MIXED out into the milk pail and
mixing with caseine and causing what
are often called cream spots in the
butter when the milk or cream is
churned.
The same cause of nothing Is pro-
duced by hauling the milk or cream
for some distance in the stands, caus-
Ing a partial churnlng of the milk
on the milk, which. becoming coated
or mixed with caseine, causes white
cream spots or specks to form, and
which follows into the butter, causing
notifies, especially in the gathered
cream creameries.
These results will often follow even
in the use of the centrifugal separ-
ator, but are Of not so frequent oc-
currence. The "cnief cause" of
mottled. streaked and wavy butter Is
supposed to be due to the salt used In
packing and sailing the butter. There
never was n more ignorant and fell
lacious notion than this, which can
be easily demonstrated by using any
established brand of fine salt and u.s.
ing distilled water for washing the
butter, and 1t will then be found that
1t is. the mineral substances in the
natural waters that cause the streak
ing and the waving In the butter.
The pure salt is Chloride of sodi-
um" and is the greatest preserver and
seasoning of butter and has no OBJ
jectionable flavor or action when COM
bined with II, but the many mineral
waters especially prevalent In this
country are the great enemies of both
flavor and uniform color in the but
ter.
The special enemies. both of color
and flavor, are the sulphates. especial
ly of iron; and lime, the 'oxide OF
calcium" producing what are called
the hard waters and which are very
common in the Western States; cop
peras and alum waters are also very
common.
There is remedy or rather pre-
vention of nothing in butter which is
soon to come, and that is a dlstilling
machine in each creamery, which can
be operated at small expense to fur
nish distilled water to wash the butter
with, and then there will be no further
cause to condemn the salt when the
evil has been distilled from the wate'

Good Advice.

Tempt your birds to drink only
water that is pure and fresh by hav-
Eng them always well supplied in many
places with just what you want them
to have. Be sure also that they have
grain every day to balance the ration
Of green and insect food. Rake and
burn wherever there is chance. 1t
keeps things neat and trim and gives
your fowls a good supply of charcoal,
making them have red combs and
0lling your egg basket. Give them all
the wheat bran they want. in a dry
place In such a way they can not
waste 1t, and let them pick at 1t rs
they choose. 1t is the best bowel reg
ulator we have ever found. Have
plenty of grit. Be sure and provide
feed houses for the smaller birds, so
grhted that the larger ones will not
disturb them. Don't allow the drop
pings to accumulate under the perches
and remember you won't be apt to
paint the perches with dsinfectants
and lice killers too often. The little
turks out on the range want to be eX-
amined once in a while to be sure
they are free from these pests ALSO

A short Lived Yacht.

An instance of the rapid passing OF
n racing yachts ucnfulness is that of
the grand old Defender. the 1895 cup
racer. 1t cost fully 100000 to build
her--not to run her; just to put her
ahoat ready for racing. Those who
designed the yacht thought that a
bronze hull with aluminium topsides
would slide through the water with
greater celerity than any other COM
bination of metals that could be Ge-
vised for hull. They so inform d
the syndicate that ordered her. But,
they added, aluminium and bronze
make a poor combination, and in
course Of time the aluminium will rot
where il joins the bronze, and the De-
fender will be useless. But what
mattered that? She was to be built

Tended 1t she might rot or not as she

DAMAGE BY TeRMlrEs.
Injury Done TO Houses IN Hawaii by the
Insects.

Injury Done 60 Houses IN Hawaii by the
Insects.
Look out for termtes The men
who have been working on the altera-
tions in the judiciary building have
found some of the woodwork almost
eaten away by them, and there are
whole residences in the city that will
have to be actually torn down. on
account of the injuries done by the
insects. Termites, according TO the
Standard Dictionary, are IA family
Of pseudo-neuroptcrous insects with
depressed ovate body. free head, equal
membranaccous deciduous wings and
fom-iointed tarsi, including white
ants
An insect with definition like that
ought to be able to do n good deal of
damage, and the termltcs are doing
it. Houses in Honolulu that are
twenty-five or thirty years old are
found to be in need of new woodwork
in many places. and at least one large
residence Is about to be torn down
because the pcstifcrous insects have
ruined it by boring and following
out the wood.
Professor Koeble and Mr.. Perkins
of the local bugology bureau, have
studied the termites, and say that
there is no known preventive of their
work. The bugs here are of two
kinds, both imported and both thriv
ing better in the climate OF Hawaii
than they did in California, which
was the original home of the varie
ties here. When any woodwork Is
once well infested with the termites
there is nothing to do but destroy it,
say the experts.
The insects do their destructive
work unseen. They never work to
the surface of the wood, but hollow
it out until 1t Is only a shell thin as
paper. They tackle furniture and
all wooden parts Of buildings.
Cases have been known in which
the termites, in countries where they
prosper even more than in Hawaii,
have literally eaten away buildings.
In single night they have been
known to reduce pieces of furniture
to collapse. "They are not so bad
here" said Mr.. Perkins. ''Why. in
some places there have been cases
where chair left over night collapsed
in a heap when used in the morning,
all the inside Of the wood having
| been bored out"
The work of the little insects may
be seen in some of the banisters of
the Judiciary Building and other old
structures Dry, hard wood, such as
that used for furniture, seems to be
specially attractive to the termites.
The insects are quite numerous in
California. but are not so destructive.

much is saved in fodder and labor
If "a sled is built for the hauling. The
runners Of the sled are made of by
SIS sixteen feet long. The standards
a at each end are placed far enough
from the ends of the runners to bolt
on braces b. The cross braces, c, are
made Of 2 by SIS. No tongue is re-
Quired unless the hauling is to be done
on snow.
The sled is driven along the shock
row as near as possible to the shock,
which is tipped over onto 1t without
breaking the tie band. The sled will
hold from four to six large shocks.
The fodder hauled in this way Is in
good shape for rlcking If desired. and
loses little If any in transportation.
