ng q background, the arrangement of tall
plants is very desirable. but narrow beds
having no background should be made up
of low growing varieties. A tall back
ground may be made in som ,situa ttons
of the tall perennials and shrubbery can
be well employed in this way. shrubbery
may also be used as the tallest row against
a house or fence. In choosing shrubbefy,
hardness should be the first consideration.
Among the desirable shrubs IN the list
recommended by the Minnesota Horticul-
tural society as adapted to this climate,
are all varieties of lilac. snowbaH Of which
the Japanese is the best variety, mock

Best Selection Of ANIMALS.
The hardy border as planned above will
yield the most attractive results with Il
minimum expenditure. 1t will be a delight
growing and will provide quantities Of
flowers for cutting, but doubtless nearly
everyone will wish to supplement 1t: by
an additional planting of at least a linn
tied number Of ANIMALS chiefly for cut
ting. The border seems to have no place
for tall nasturtiu1ns without which no gar
den is quite complete but these are need
ed to cover fences and any spot thar
otherwise might be unsightly and. TO
climb around porches and up corners OF
walls. A good hedge of sweet peas is an
other floral indispensable and it is very
sa atisfactory to have some of all of the
best colors. Pansies make a good carpet
in a bed of tall plants but also make pref
ty beds by themselves. Phlox drummon-
di, asters and poppies should be raised in
liberal quantities.

A permanent planting of vines is de-
sirable. but there are good ANIMALS to fill
In gap and to cover places where per-
manent groWths are not practica BILE.
Among those not to be despised are the
common morning glory, as well as the
more aristocratic Japanese morning
glories, sourds, Japanese hop, moon

and hyacinth bean. For permanent plant
ing one will not make a mistake to
choose the clemetis paniculata, the fra

On the Lady Farmer mine of
the Henderson syndicate the pros
pect shaft was on Saturday forty
feet in depth. The width of the
vein of disseminated Jack is not
known as neither wall is as yet
shown Strong evidences of the
heavy zinc streaks widening out
more apparent at the extreme
depth than at any higher plane,
The plan of prospecting is to sink
down to where vein veers towards
the dixie and then crosscut Pro-
badly seventy-five feet will show
this, as the dip is becoming appa-
rent at the present time. The
carbonate showing in the open cut
made is remarkably good and quite
a tonnage has been taken out for
shipment as soon as the ore can
be cleaned. The same stringers
of carbonate show on the west
side of this cut as in the Old jim
and very likely if followed would
result in widening of the csrbo-
nate ground to very similar ex-
tent 1t will be remembered that
in the Old Jim such stringers
lead to over 40 feet of nearly
solid zinc carbonate. In the late
ly decided property to the syndi-
cate by DR.. Deboe, a vein of car
Donate of zinc was exposed two
vars ago, but as it was rather thin
on top but little attention was paid
to it. There is really no reason
why the following of these string
ers also might not lead to very con-
siderable bodies of the same ore.
1t certainly ought to be done.

The Old Jim mine is again call.
ing attention to itself by another
remarkable body or shelf of car
Donate of zinc, cutting under the
east side of the open cut, and be-
ing on the east side of the dixie.
Messrs. Blue a Num- have been
waiting very patiently for nearly
a year, for the carbonate of zinc
TO be exhausted in the immediate
vicinity of the open cut; prepare
tory TO deep mining and level run
ming in the Jack or,zinc blende de-
post Heavy steam machinery
was planned to replace the gaso-
line engines now in use, and a ve-
~ conplete deep mining campaign
mapped ont. This will have to be
delayed until the really wonderful
carbonate valpes are exhausted on
both sides of the opening, where
fully 100000 worth has been mi
ned and marketed during the pas I
two years.

\ letter from st. Louis to the
PRESS indicates that some one has
exploited very thoroughly the idea
that we have unlimited quantities
OF mixed Jack and huor spar that
could practically be had for the
asking, or at least for a very low
price per ton. The facts of the
case are quite the reverse. 1t is
doubtful if a carload of such ma
terial could be gathered in the en-.
tire district. Should there be any
such mixture that could not be
separated it would be sold to the
steel producers for flux, as the
zinc would quickly volatilize and
leave the fluor spar to do its APP
pointed work.

COPPER IN THIS DISTRICT.

put Of copper can be calculated to
a certainty. All Of these proper
ties have paid handsome dividends
The stock of the Calumet was pur-
chased by Prof Agassiz of Boston
forty years ago At 70 cents per
share. the shares representing
twenty five dollars in par value
This stock has sold AS high as a
thousand dollars a share and is
probably today worth six or seven
hundred dollars, represe ing
twenty dollars If the capital
stock of the company. The At
lantic mine, in the same section of
country, averages seven-eighths OF
one per cent in copper; it too has
paid dividends for years and years.
Nine of the Lake Superior mines
will average over four per cent in
copper Ii must be understood,
however, that this is not an ore, it
comes in fine shottod metallic
state, and only has to be ooncen
trated to produce copper ready for
refining.
In no other part of the country
is copper generally found in the
state of a metal, and the smelling
charges out considerable of an in
road in the values, especially
throughout the extreme West,
New Mexico, Arizona, Montana,
ETC., etc, where copper is always
found in an exide carbonate, or
sulphide forU..
The Wilson Mining company
may aud probably will have per
centage of copper more than equal
that produced by the Calumet
mine, but the reduction charges
will be very much greater; yet

The Wilson Mining company,
AS was noted in last weeks PRESS,
have rather a remarkable showing
of zinc carbonate on their proper

a separate and we'll defined streak
OF copper carbonate. While cop

The Columbia Mining compa-
ny's separating plant in making a
90 per cent zinc concentrate seems
to be doing all that the ore mined
so far will allow. In the original
or mine run of ore there is five to
six per cent of carbonate of zinc,
which increases to fully eleven per
cent in the headings, and it is ma
nifestly impossible to make a high
grade concentrate, that is per
centage of zinc anywhere close to
60 per cent with such ore, The
specific gravity being 80 near alike
in zinc blende and carbonate, the
increase in the headings to eleven
and one half per cent of carbonate
shows that the jigs are doing the
very best work possible. Proba-
bly, at some greater depth this car
Donate will pass out of the vein
altogether, and then it will be an
easy matter to bring up the finish
ed produat to the 60 per cent or
higher basis, but for long time
to come.

Colonel Nelson III. Snow was in
the city on Sunday and expire ssed
the views that are generally held
by his associates in the Columbia
mining company that Mr.. Maltby,
the contractor of the jigs now in
use at the mine, will in day or
two adjust the workings to an ex.
tent that will bring the concen-
trates in zinc up to the proper
basis of 60 per cent. The ship
ment of the first car of zinc con-
oentrates, it is understood, was to
Winona., Ill. 1t is reported that
the zinc contents were so per cent
and the price paid $25 per ton.

After considerable work the Luz
cile quartzite vein has been I'M
covered on the % acres that we're
decided to the Reed Mining com.
pany for it's mining plant and re-
duction works. This vein is very
we'll defined and lies south of the
great dixie that outcrops so strong
ly on the surface of this land. 1t
has beeu pretty we'll proven in this
district that the ore veins at the
surface of the ground run par
allel to the dikes, but generally at
distance of several hundred feet.
There is no exception In this case,
although the vein is within posi-
bly, hundred feet of the dixie
The Reed Mining company are
now prospecting on this vein for
the chimney of lead and zinc ores
that will be found somewhere
along its surface. 1t may be ne
cessary to sink several shallow
holes to ascertain the location of
the heavy body of ore, but it al.
ways pays we'll to do this work on
the surface of the ground rather
than at depth, the expense is so
very much less. The vein is very
handsome white quartz, and as
Professor Ulrich remarked, this
vein should show lead ore from
the surface, and that's what the
company are after now.

Specimens of iron stained clay,
of iron and of gravel fuor spar
we're received from Mr.. F. B. Dy-
Gus, of Dycusburg, last week. In
this county we always welcome
the iron and flint as possible cap
ping to zinc carbonate; and while
the latter is not always found,
even under such circumstances,
experience has proven that it pays
to prospect for zinc under such a
com bination of minerals.

Two or three stockholders of the
Reed Mining company would like
to exchange their building lots for
shares of the company. The re-

the company's interests generally,
has likely produced this desire,
which is feeling among the stock
holders that the officials of the
company are rather proud of.
