you ever hear of the Sibley fght?" he
asked. IF you have not, John Finerty
can tell you one lively side of it. Little
Bat might have told you some more
about 1T, and might say something
myself. Yes, we were all in it up to
our chins, and as an all-around close
shave think all accounts agree that
IL was about the limit. The idea of a
man living on a diet of that kind and
then getting killed in saloon fight!
1t seems tough. Poor Little Bat! Bad
whisky was worse medicine than Sit
ting Bull ever made in all his years of
deviltry.
But you want me to tell about the
Sibley fight. do you? 1t was about "a
years ago last July, just about a week
before the battle that wiped out Gen.
Custer and his entire command. Gen.
Crook assigned Little Bat and myself
to go north on the Tongue river and
meet body Of friendly Crows that
were joining us to fight against the
Sioux. Much to my regret, Lieut.. F.
W. Sibley and "a picked men of the
Second cavalry were detailed as an es-
cort. The men were splendid fellows,
but all more or less new in Indian
lighting. We had been moving north
two days when in the dawn of the
third morning 1 discovered the Sioux
moving toward Tongue river thicker

A Special Structure for the Honey
Makers mt the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition.


at the Pan-American exposition the
coming summer. 1t has been decided
to construct special building for the
proper display of the working colonies
of bees and the great variety of bee
keepers supplies which will constitute
this exhibit. This will undoubtedly
be the most extensive bee exhibit ever
prepared in this or any other part of
the world. Anyone who is not stu
dent of bee culture little realizes the
very great Importance of this industry.
1t is estimated that there are 300,0
persons engaged in bee culture in the
United States alone and that the pres
ent annual value of honey and wax is
in excess of $20,000,OO0. There are ITO
societies devoted to the study and pro-
motion of bee keeping. Eight journals
are sustained by this industry. Fifteen
steam power factories are producing
supplies of varions kinds for the use Of
bee keepers. American honey finds a
market in many distant countries, the
United States producing more honey
than any other nation.
The bee exhibits at the Pan-Amer.
lean exposition will be so arranged that
the bees may enter their hives frora
the exterior of the building and CARR
ON their work of honey collection uL-
disturbed by visitors, yet in full view
through the glass sides of their hives.
The successful management of an api-
airy require knowledge of botany as
well as the habits and requirements of
bee plays very important part in the
general economy. The failure of fruit
crops may be due to the abseLce of
bees whose special function is to fer
tilize the blossoms by carrying the
pollen from stamens to pistil
1t is estimated that the fora of the
United States could sustain ten times
as many bees as are now in existence
and nearly every farm could support
an apiary of profitable size. The bee
exhibit will illustrate the operation of
an apiary and will show the common
honey producing flora in way to be
understood by all who may be interest
ed. The relation of bees to horticul-
ture and agriculture will be clearly
shown and the many uses of honey IL.
Illustrated. Honey is extensively used in
the manufacture of bake stuffs and in
making medicines and candles. Bees
wax is commercial article much used
by dentists and manufacturers of wax
goods.
The actual demonstration of bee
keepers supplies of latest pattern will
show what economies may be prac-
ticed by bee keepers to increase their
profits. The movable frame hive was
invented in 1881 by Langstroth, and
since that time the application of la Dor.
saving, honey-saving and bee-savinp
devices have been very interesting and
important. Experiments in crossing
varieties Of bees have been carried on
with surprising success. New York
Pennsylvania, Vermont and other New
England states are large producers of
comb honey. Any locality in which
white clover, Eastwood and buckwheat
are plentiful is adapted to the success

and Arizona the keeping of bees ranks
as one of the most important indus
tries, and from those states are annual.

From trade and consular reports the
situation as regards copper production
would seem to be favorable, and in
dictate that ordinary trade conditions
of short supply and steadily increas-
ing consumption will maintain profit
earning sale prices for the metal for a
considerable period in advance of the
present time, says a mining journal.
Despite the stimulation of nearly
doubled prices for over two years
countries other than the United States
and Mexico have not increased pro-
duction sufficient to supply their own
increased needs. Some of the largest
consumers have reduced production.
The difficulty with them is that they
have not the raw material, the ores.
Copper mines, therefore, seem com
mercially safe propositions. Invest
ors, however, should not discount the
present prices as if they were perman-
emily fixed when it comes to opening
mines. An average of quite low grade
ore, yielding a small per cent of cop
per, can be made to pay with copper
at the present prices, but any reduction
of prices will sweep away small oper-
ative profit margins. Treatment costs
of low grade ore are the same as the
treatment costs of high grade. 1t takes
definite number of pounds of copper
at present prices to pay these charges.
With lowered prices it will take pro-
portionatel more pounds of the cop
per. The mine requires margin in
metal content to insure that it shall
successfully stand lowered sale prices.
A low grade gold mine is distinctly a
different proposition from low grade
copper mine. In the former there is
only the risk of the mine to be carried
by the operator, for the gold is always
worth $20.07 an ounce, in the latter he
has to carry as well the risk of the
market price. The safety margin in
the metal content of the mine should
be much larger.

visiting the beautiful Crystal River

with the MARBLE TIMES, conducted by
our old friend, Evan Williams. We
found the people of Crystal and Marble
TO be eminently courteous and hospit-

across Henry Kirk, who is well known
and liked by Eagle and Fulford people.
He has a partnership in the stage line
connecting with the Crystal River rail-
road at its terminus. Placita. and run
ming up to Crystal. Prospects are
favorable for a heavy passenger and
freight traffic up into that country this
year, and Mr.. Kirk will probably be
fright in line" Charley Nevins, an
other Eagle county lad, is also at
Marble, and has leased Mr.. Kirk s
lack train for the season. Charley
had severe illness last winter and
was at Glenwood Springs for several
weeks recuperating. While at Marble
we enjoyed the hospitality of Evan
Williams, editor of THE TIMES. We
have no hesitation in stating that Mr.
Williams has the best selected and
most conveniently arranged printing
plant possessed by any country weekly
newspaper publisher we know OF in
Colorado. We wish for THE TIMES
