Black Warrior and also 800 tons of acid. The development of the com pany's mine in Gold gulch con tinues, under contract.
 Graham Guardian: Hon. K. H. Wilson, of New York, one of the principal owners in the Qualey mines, was here two days this week examining the property and the progress and extent of the work. He expressed himself as greatly pleased with the mines and every thing that has so far been done in the way of developing them. He thinks that upon his returning to New York and reporting to the board of directors the great amount of work that has been done, the body of ore that has been discov- cred, and the bright prospects of success, the company will put on large force of men, and push the further development of the mines with greatest possible speed.

MINING NEWS.

tendent of the Columbia copper mine, was called to St. Louis last week for consultation with the off cers of the company. It is reported that operations are to be resumed at an early date on the Columbia property in this district, Mr. Cole will also visit his former home in Ohio before returning to Globe.
 Prescott Prospect: H. H. Dou glas, of New York city, one of the principals in the firm of Douglas, Lacey x Co.,, arrived in Prescott the early part of the week, and is making a thorough inspection of the company's properties in this county. He is accompanied by Chas. H. Landis and Walter Ford, members of the same company.
 Globe Belt: F. w. Force was here yesterday from the Bob Tail camp and reported the mine work progressing favorably. The addi- tional stamps ordered for the mill have been received, and the Bob Tail company will soon be able to treat custom ores, which will be to the advantage of those who are developing gold claims in that sec- tion.
 Wilcox News; H. Heinrich is back from the Gold Farm group of mines, and says the development work conducted by Mason & Duke is showing up good ore, and that the prospects of the property are certainly fattering. The Buckeye company is working steadily and is taking out good ore. Their mill is now in running order and the stamps are dropping.
 Prescott Prospect: The old Gar cia mine, which has had so good a reputation as a gold producer, has started up again after many months of idleness. This mine, which is already well developed, lies on the west side of the Hassayampa, at a distance of about two miles, and is about eight miles from Wickenburg. The company has pumping plant on tie river that supplies all the water needed for the camp, and for their 20-stamp mill and concentra- tors. There is also at present con siderable water in the mine.
 Prescott Prospect; Joe Kompats- cher, just returned from a run through Chaparral and McCabe, reports the latter town as lively as a railroad center He found the Henrietta of the Braganza company working fifty men on ledge in- cleasing in width who were taking out $50 to SS0 ore; the Cypres do- ing likewise and in the south shaft of the Gopher, which is now down $50 feet, the men have been sink ing for the last twenty feet through a three-fo0t ledge CT wonderfully rich ore. He saw chunks of solid sulphide come out of the shaft that would measure three feet each way.
 Globe Belt The suspension of operations by the Black Warrior Copper Company, Amalgamated, last week. has thrown upwards of ninety men out of employment. It Is understood that the closing down of the works is due to a disagree ment between the Black Warrior company and the G. V. G. x N. railroad over freight charges, and it is also rumored that the copper company contemplates changes in the plant to increase the production

crop of the United States is about
3, 100 million bushels and the normal
export is around 200 million bushels
But when corn is high Europe does
not buy. Of last years short crop
probably less than 80 million bushels
will reach Europe. In the case of tho
Corn Products company it must buy
whether corn is sixty cents or thirty
cents, for idle plants mean loss. As
combination it can fix the prices of
it's products and operate profitably
with high priced corn, providing it's
manufactured goods are so necessary
to the consumer that he will pay the
increased price. That seems to be
the situation this year, for the glucose
plants are busy despite the price of
corn. Although a regular customer
in the corn market, the Products
company's purchases for a year will
probably have little direct effect on
the prices for year, as IS million
bushels are very small proportion of

POPULAR ELECTION OF UNITED
STATES SENATORS.

[ConvOcation address of Charles S. Lobn-
gier, of the University of Nebraska March
18th, 1902.
The question of electing United
States senators by popular vote has
again been brought into prominence
of late, in several ways The legisla-
lures of eight states. including our
own, have recently memorialized con-
gress in favor of the change, while al
together thirty states have done so at
some time in the past. Only last
month the national house of repre-
sentatives unanimously and for the
fourth time passed resolution for
constitutional amendment for this
purpose and the plan is now before
the country perhaps more prominently
than ever before.
Arguments from the Standpoint of the
Senate.
The old arguments in it's favor have
usually related to the Senators them
selves rather than to the bodies which
elect them. It has become the fashion
in some quarters to speak of the
United States senate as the "Ameri-
can House of Lords" or the "Million-
aires Club OH account of the fact
that within the last quarter century
men have been elected to seats in it
whose chief distinction has been
wealth rather than craftsmanship 1t
is claimed that this would disappear
under system of popular election
and that senators would become more
truly the representatives of the peo-
pie. But we must judge of this
from political conditions as they are.
We must inquire whether the average
governor or congressman is really
closer to the people than the average

stituents of this community of inter
ests' are the National Starch COM
pany and the Glucose Syrup Refining
company. The glucose company itself
was organized only four years ago
and was a big trust in itself, with a
capital stock of 40 million dollars.
That concentration of interests and
development of by products are profit
able is shown in the fact that the
Glucose Syrup Refining company paid
Z per cent OH it's IA million dollars
preferred stock last year and per
cent OH the 26 million dollar common
stock. Mr.. Matthiessen, president of
the new 80 million dollar combina-
tion, is also president of the glucose
company With it's 40 million dollars
capital it owned and operated only
five factories-the American Glucose
Works, Peoria. Ill. the Rockford,
Sugar Refining company, Rockford,
Ill. the Davenport Sugar Refining
company, Davenport, Ia. the Firmen-
ich Manufacturing company, Mar
shalltown, Ia., and the Chicago Sugar
Refining company, Chicago. The
Peoria Grape Sugar company's plant
was also bought by the glucose COM
pany, but it burned and was not re-
built. When the owners of these con-
Germs sold their plants to or entered
the glucose combination they signed
contract not to engage in the glu-
cose business within 1900 miles of
Chicago, which meant they would
stay out as independent concerns, for
the / 200 mile clause took in the In
dian corn district of the entire world.
The National Starch company, an
other great constituent of the glucose
starch combination, has two glucose
plants. one in Waukegan, ILL.,, and
one in Glen Cove, N. Y. It's starch
factories are scattered from Nebraska
City to Oswego, N. Y. Other con.
Germs controlled by the Corn Products
company are the Charles Pope Glucose
plants in Geneva, ILL.,, and Venice,
Ill. the Illinois Sugar Refining Co.. :,
Pekin, ILL.,, and the New York Glu-
cose company, Shadyside. N. j. In
all of the plants about 1000 persons
will be employed.
Mr.. Matthiessen, head of the COM
panies, is still under 40, and his sal
ary is said to exceed $780, year
Fifteen years ago he was paid $12 a
week by the Chicago Sugar Refining
company, now in his combination.
The Glucose Syrup Refining company
was the result of his efforts, as is the
present Corn Products company. Pay.
ing dividends is the line he works
on.

syrup, glucose. is produced. To make
table syrup of glucose, 10 per cent
of cane syrup, sorghum or molasses is
added.
A Commercial Blunder of Years Ago.
The grape sugar taken from starch
does not resemble cane sugar, for the
large amount of water in the corn
product prevents capitalization or
granulation. There was wild excite
ment in sugar in 1880 when chemist
extracted water free sugar from
corn starch. 1t had the appearance
of the granulated product from cane,
and after mixing it with the cane
sugar, the whole could be sold at
price much lower than the old style
sugar. New fortunes were in sight, and
in Chicago a great factory was soon
in operation. Thousands Of barrels Of
corn sugar, mixed with the Louisiana
product, were rushed to the market,
but soon they were coming back.
Buyers said it in no way resembled
the standard granulated sugar. When
barrel was opened it was found to
contain one solid lump of sugar. The
manufacturers had overlooked some
thing in their hunt for money-the
water-free corn sugar had absorbed
the moisture in the cane sugar and
the whole combined and hardened
All the efforts to overcome the defect
failed and the new factories became
idle Now about all the water-free
sugar made is used in the manufac-
ture Of beer and wine.
With the main body of starch and
the germ of the kernel used, the hull,
or bran, and gluten are left. The
gluten is dried in filter presses and in
it's dry state about one-third of it Is
starch, which the chemists are unable
to extract. AS gluten meal it is fed
to cattle and mixed with the bran it
becomes gluten feed.
In all about forty derivatives, or
by-products are made from the kernel
of corn. The Corn Products company,
as has been said, buys only shelled
corn. The cobs and husks are left be-
hind for other uses and the stalks
have found their place as forage.
The Glucose Starch Combination.
The company to control the starch
and glucose business in America was
finally organized last Monday in New
York, with 80 million dollars capital.
