CARPENTER rYnIr1c PLANT.

Saturday mornings Rocky Mountain
News says, that after year Of changes
in appliances and an increase in capacity
per day Carpenters pyritic smelter, 10.
Gated on the Colorado & Southern tracks
at Golden, is now running smoothly, and
has several times handled in excess OF
AGO tons per day in its single blast fur
mace. The latter is extra large, measur-
ing 3x16 feet at the hearth. The usual
blast furnace at smelter is equal to
some 200 tons. DR.. Carpenter says the
unusual size Of the Golden stack is an
item Of economy, handling twice the
quantity OF ores at precisely the same
incidental expense as 2co-ton stack
would involve.
Cast iron water jackets have proved a
failure with the large furnace, the burst
ing of such jackets causing frequent shut
downs. The jackets now in use are OF
wrought iron. A 00-pipe-stove, for the
manufacture OF hot air for the blast fur
mace, is now in process OF construction
in this city. 1t will contain 120 pipes
and will cost sl50,cc0.
Thsobject ID building the Carpenter
smelter wac TO handle the ores OF the
SaratoRa gtonp Of mines, Russell Gulch,
Gilpin county. The end aimed at by the
capitalists who own both the mines and
the smelter has been attained, and the
Saratoga group, for the first time in
l.. r..
is shipping some forty tons per day, OF
s15 ore, to the Golden works. When
power drills are installed DR.. Carpenter
expects to increase these shipments to
100 tons daily.
As the Saratoga supply is notsufilcient
for the smelter the management OF the
latter has entered the general market. II
expects to buy materialin Boulder, Clear
Creek, Gilpin and other counties.

Remarkable Tenacity Of Life.

The Jew betrays an absolutely un-
precedented tenacity of life. 1t far ex-
ceeds that Of any other known people.
This we may illustrate by the follow
ing example: Suppose two groups of
100 infants each, one Jewish, one of
average American parentage, to be
born on the same day. In spite of
the disparity of social conditions in fa-
vor of the latter, the chances, deter.
mined by statistics, are that one half
of the American children will die with
In II years, while the first half of the
Jews will not succumb to disease or
accident before the expiration of II
years. The death rate is really but
little over half that of the American
population. This holds good in infancy
us in middle age. Or, of 1000 Jews
born, 217 die before the age of Z years,
while 453 Christians-more than twice
us many-are likely to die within the
same period.

Billy West, Billy Emerson and Billy
Rice Three of them have been laid
low by the 'leveler of all ranks
within month. The old school of
minstrelsy will soon be but a mere
memory.
The end of Billy Rice came at Hot
Springs, Ark. He made his last ap-
pearance in Chicago about two years
ago, when i'll health compelled him to
quit the footlights. Rice was born
near Troy, N. Y, 60 years ago and
spent AZ years on the stage, the greater
part Of the time in the role of min
strel. He was IN immense success for
years and was one of the most popular
end men in the country, drawing a
large salary. 1t is estimated that he
made upward of $1,0O0.000 during his
long career on the stage. but he had a
big heart and led a bohemian life, so
that when death came, with scarcely a
friend of the old days gathered about
his bedside, he had not a penny. He
had been soldier in the civil war and
was 32d degee Mason.
The last words of Billy Rice were
typical Of the man. When he realized
that the end was at hand he said, with
n smile on his lips: II am down to my
last white chip, and the Almighty has
coppered that. Well, tell my friends
that I'm going away back and they
will find me ON the end seat"

Docs Strengthening Pay,


To this question the sheep raiser on
land at low value will undoubtedly
answer yes, and the man on high price
land no. 1t would seem as If some
thing was wrong with this state of af-
fairs. Year by year the raising of
sheep in large numbers changes from
the high price farm to the one where
land is cheap. 1t may be true that in
the East where farms are held at
prices more than double that asked for
land in sections of the West, farmers
can not afford to raise sheep, yet why
not? In any section where sheep can
be raised without the winter season
of feeding being too long sheep should
be raised with profit regardless OF the
land value of the farm, within reason,
Of course. 1t is largely question of
Intelligent management, just rs with
any other crop. Everything seems to
point to decided change in methods
during the coming years, and the
thoughtful farmer with some knowl-
edge of sheep raising is beginning to
feel that by keeping up the fertility
Of his farm he can rails, sheep as profit
ably for his market as his distant COM
petltor for his.

Growing Sorghum for Stock.

The failure Of the corn crop last year
will induce farmers to plant more or
less Of other things the coming season.
Alfalfa, millet sorghum and speltz
will all be tried, and in some localities
one OF more will be found most de-
sirable addition to crops for stock. The
culture of sorghum is extending, and
tests have proved that its culture is
not confined to favored sections, but
that it can probably be grown with
success wherever corn can be grown.
The plant is drought-reslsting it yields
heavily and the stalks, IL properly
cured, are eaten and relished by all
farm stock. The main trouble expert
enced with sorghum is in the curing
the crop seems to be as easily raised
as corn, but 1t is best cured under
cover by setting 1t in small. shocks
along the wall of n shed. 1t may be
cured in the field, like corn, If put up
In small shocks. Every farmer with
cows or swine should give up an acre
of ground this spring for sorghum. You
may not be able to grow it with full
success this year, but will learn Its
needs thoroughly, SO that the next sea-
son 1t will be success.

Wheat ns Stock Feed.

The Topeka State Journal says that a
miller and grain dealer in Mcpherson,
Kan, says there is less wheat in Nc
Pherson County than for many years
at the same date. The scarcity of corn
and Its high price have led many to
feed it to stock. He claimed to know
of some who had fed out 5000 bushels,
and one man. who sold 1000 bushels
last July, had since bought 5000 BUSH
els to feed out, and another had bought
$4,000 bushels for the same purpose.
He estimated the amount fed on the
farms in that county at not less than
500 bushels on each farm, and the to-
tal as not less than half the crop of
1901. While we think these figures
may be a little exaggerated, or more
than little If applied to more than
the one county. we do not find fault IL
they are true. Though in the Eastern

derislon. The day after Dryden was
nominated Campbell's friend had to
leave town on business trip. When
he returned Campbell met him at the
station well, I've paid my bet"
Campbell told him, and handed him a
photograph to prove the truth of his
statement. All except expert photog-
raphers may have their doubts, but
Campbell's friend was satisfied.
