There was substantial increase in
the trGffic through the Suez canal in
1899. Three thousand five hundred and
three vessels passed through the canal
in 1898; in 1899 the number was In
creased to 1907. representing an in
crease of 104 vessels and a gain Of
657.017 tons. The average time con-
sumed in passing through the canal in
1899 was eighteen hours and thirty
eight minutes, about half an hour
longer than was necessary during the
previous year.

quently improved by the addition OF
clay or mari, especially in places where
land Is expensive and labor cheap.
The opposite process, that OF putting
sandy soil on clay land, has not proved
so advantageous, and IL Is commonly
said that clay can be easily and adj
yantageoulsy applied to sandy land,
but when the sand Is applied to clay
the latter soil swallows 1t up In I'M
limited quantities. II Is probable that
claying will never be carried on to
any considerable extent in this coun-
try where farm land sells at very
moderate figure, except where sandy
soil is undcrlaid by layer OF clayey
soil within reach Of the pillow.
There was time when steam power
seemed likely to supersede horse
power on the farm. But that possible
ity no longer exists. Coal and water
were found to be more expensive feed
than oats and hay. The steam engines
were found to be seryiceable chiefly
on clay ground, where there was an
unyieiding support for the blowing
machine. On sandy soil iocomotion
proved to be great difficulty. and
there were cases where planks had TO
! be laid down in front Of the machines.
The plan OF having two machines on
opposite sides OF the field drawing the
plow back and forth by means of a
wire cable proved too cumbersome TO
be continued An English writer
enumerating the drawbacks to steam
cultivation, said: "u) The area OF
usage is limited by the nature Of the

Hilly surfaces, and small irregularly-

renewal of activity in the near FUTURE
said G. V. Lewis. the mining man, who
returned from that section yesterday
says the Helena Record.
Tie Red Chief is about to start under
new management, the company havin,
been reorganized, and will be operated on
much larger scale. The Red Bluff is
still idle, having been drowned out some
time ago. The policy of retrenchmens
adopted by the co 1mpany has caused
some misunderstanding between it and
the former manager, G. D. B. Turner,
who still has large interest in the
property. Charles Austin, formerly
bookkeeper, is now evidently acting as
ma nager.
The Hercules Power company is now
moving four carload of machinery from

Big Copper Lodges Opened
Up On Neveda Greek.

The attention Of mining men in Butte
and other parts Of the state is now CEN
tered on Nevada CCreek where some big
lodges of copper ore have been recently
discovered.
The point of discovery is about eleven
miles from Avon. small town on the
line of the Northern Pacific road four
teen miles east of Garrison. Some of the
claims have been located long time.
but it was only short while ago that
their real value was brought to the no.
tlce of the public. 1t is claimed by some
that the veins there. of which there are
several. are a continue ton of the Butte
ore bodies, but in view of the fact that
the veins here have an easterly and
westerly course and the new district is
perhaps seventy miles north of Butte it
will be rather difficult to establish con-
nectiOn between them. The groupings Of
the Nevada Creek veins are wide and re-
semble those Of the lodges of this district.
So far not much development work has
been done, but it will be only a short
time before the openings now being
made will determine the extent and val
Tie Of the find. In severad places tun-
nels are being driven into the mountain
just above the water level. A few ship
ments Of ore have been made from the
surface workings. 1t is reported that
the Anaconda company has located ten
claims there and it's agents are still
stalking
Several prospects have been bonded
merely on their surface showing. A man
named Carey, it is reported has staked
out about a dozen claims and tapped
the ore body on one by means Of a tun-
mel. At the point where the opening
caught the ore the ledge was 200 fet wide
between we'll defined granite walls.
If the district pans out as we'll those
who have prospects there say they be-
lieve 1t will, the Nevada Creew and dis
trict has a great future before it. Within
half a mile of the mines there is a run
ming stream of water, but if it is not
large enough to met the requirements Of
an extensive smelling plant the Big
Blackfoot river is only few miles far
Their north.
