STRIKE AT CALUMET & PITTS.
 BURG

The strike of copper ore on the 300 foot level, of the Calumet & Pitts burg is of much more importance than at first reported.
 From a reliable source it was learned yesterday that the vein was over four feet wide and carried value in copper which was over twenty per cent. and commercial values in gold and silver. The best values are obtained as depth is attained and the finding of ore in this property is very important be- cause it shows the continuous copper vein extending through the property and the strike of the ledge running down to the Bisbee Queen and Copper Glance ground.
 The officers of the company have been very quiet and were 10th to give out any information but the strike has , been made and some of the ore which was taken out was exhibited around 1 town yesterday.

THE OCTAVE MINE
 OF ARIZONA
BIG FREE MILLING GOLD PRoPo.
 SETON.
Forty Stamps Are Now Dropipng on the Ore, Which Is Afterwards Treat ed by the Cyanide Process

The mine at Octave camp, Arizona is an example of free milling gold proposition, worked on a most exten- sive scale, under economic manage ment. It is developed to a depth of 1,200 feet by two shafts. Twelve lev. els have been opened in the mine, the stations having been cut every 100 feet each level being opened for the full length of the ore shoat, possible to the extent of some two or three miles uf under ground workings. The ore is of a quartz character, and is recoverable in gold value to the amount of from s9 to SIS. The property has a mill, ion-dollar plant and is considered one of the best in the territory of Arizona
 Forty stamps are dropping now on the ore, which is afterward treated by the cyanide process. and 4,000 tons per month are handled in the mill. The equipment consists of two-drill | first motion hoists and thirty-drill Com. pressor. The ore is raised in skips which carry from three to five tons There are fourteen miles of piping necessary to bring water to the prop erty on the gravity system, while oI is utilized for fuel purposes.
 Water level was reached at the 1,000-foot station, the pumps now handling 30,000 gallons a day.

METALS FIRM BASIS.
No Difficulty in Maintaining IS Gents Estimates of Years Production.

E. P. White, president of the New England Metal company, in discussing the copper situation, says in Boston: My judgment is that consumption of copper is at present far outstripping the production. The recent strength of the metal rather bears out this view in the case than otherwise.
 T think that producers will have no difficulty in maintaining at least 15 cents as the minimum price for the metal for the balance of the year and this view is based upon the belief of some of the best judges of the metal in the world.
 That which has been attempted and successfully in iron and steel is coming to focus in coper. It is to this end that endeavors of heavy interests have been directed for months and years past, and successful consummation of plans has not as yet reached, but it now looks as though the perfection of these plans was only a matter of time.
 Two of the heaviest copper interests in the world-the Standard Oil people and the Rothchilds-have for some time past been working evenly along common lines and oddly enough. so far as the present selling price of the met alis concerned, practically all inter- ests are at present satisfied with 15 cents, lake and electrolytic basis.
 T believe that between July l and January l next, the consumption of copper will not fall below 50,000, ,OOO pounds per month. I would estimate the consumption of the world for 1903 would be 620,000 tons of the metal and the production will not exceed 600,00o tons. Placing the visible sup ply January 1, 1903. at 67,000 ' tons on January 1, 1903. we should have visible or not exceeding , 47,00O tons"

Total surplus Sept. 30, 1902. .15,S6O
 The capital expenditure during the year amounted to 4,092 pounds 4s. lid This expenditure has to large extent been provided for by the pro ceeds received from the sale of certain of the company's mines.
 During the past few years the cap ital expenditures has been exceptional ly heavy. For the two years to Sep tember 30, 1900, and 1901, the copper production was 9,25S tons and 9,959 tons (2,0O0 pounds each) respectively: For the year to September 30. 1902. it was 15,000 tons. Not only has the quantity produced thus been increased by about one-half, but the cost of pro- duction has been materially reduced.
 During the half year ended Septem- Der 30, 1902, 54. 4S9 tons of copper ore and concentrates and 1885 .209 pounds of copper derived from the teacher were smelted, resulting in a gross yield of 15,O49 ,065 pounds.
 The results for the half year show a substantial reduction in the cost of copper, and this notwithstanding the fact that the yield of the ore has fallen to 3.4 per cent. The drop in grade is in part due to the reduced output ot first class ore, a reduction which is likely to obtain for some time to come and in part to the slightly lesser qual ity of the concentrating ores.

THE BISBEE QUEEN,

J. F. Suits, who is interested in the Lucky Tiger and also the Bisbee Queen, is in the city.
 MT. Suits returned last night from a trip to the Bisbee Queen ground. where he went to inspect the work now going on to make suggestions for future work. The old shaft which is down 20 feet, will be first prospected by a force of men. after which regu- lar development will be pushed until the ore body is encountered.

FINE LEAD ORE.

Lead ore of a high grade, is being extracted from the Cobb lease on the Copper Queen ground. A new vein has been encountered, which runs 39.5 per cent in lead besides gold and silver. The ground adjoining known as Dutch Henry" lease has shipped ten cases of high grade ore to Fl Paso. where this will be shipped. The ore is a carbonate and carries no sulphide whatever.

WHAT FOLK rs DOING.

We like the way Joe Folk talks. He was recently saying something about those over-sensitive people who believe, or affect to believe, that he is slander- ing the State of Missouri by his exposures of Missouri boodlers, and thus spoke his mind about them:
 They cry out "Slandering Missouri" :" Did anyone ever claim that the exposure and punishment of murder arson or other crimes slandered the State? Why are they so sensitive about official thieves being caught in the net of the law? They object to so much 'hell being raised" Hell cannot be raised unless 1t is there, and, if it is, 1t is better to raise it than to allow 1t to remain and rot the State. Ex- posture and punishment of public plunder- CTS Is a States honor not it's shame The disgrace Is in tolerance, not in cor reetion. It is more honorable to correct evils than to bear them in ignoble si- lence. The only. way, to stamp out cor ruption is to strike it hard whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head.
 That is the way to talk. While it is probably true that some of the men who are so solicitous about the good name of the city and State are really allies of the boodlers, there are plenty of other good and well-meaning citizens who actually think an effort to expose and punish crime is bringing discredit on the State and people of Missouri. We heard some thing of the kind when the peonage cases were being tried in Alabama, and we pre- sume like complaints can be heard every time an effort is made to bring prominent criminals to justice.
 These men reason from the wrong premises. As Folk says, if there is any disgrace, 1t is the toleration of crime, not in it's punishment. Some soft-hearted people may complain about "raising h-l.' but the fearless prosecutor who searches out and punishes crime is not the one to be blamed if Hades should be elevated to popular view. If good deal more of It were done in some of the larger cities of the country. 1t would have decided tendency to make boodling and like crimes unpopular. Let Folk continue to raise It till he gets all of it out of Missouri.

DIVIDING THE RACES

Evanston, Ill.,, where negroes are well eomed in theory and persecuted in prac- tice, has apparently evolved satisfactory settlement of the race question, provided they will carry 1t out strictly The plan is to locate all the negroes in colony on one side of the town so that there need be no mixing or clashing. This Is well enough In theory, but how will 1t work? If the negroes are citizens, can the authorities prohibit them from cross- ing the line and mixing with the whites? On the other hand, can they prevent the whites from going over to visit the ne- groes? If so. how. and if not, then how. again?
 This idea of race segregation sounds very well as a theory. but when the races are in close proximity, keeping them apart is likely to be attended with some difficulty and we predict that if the ex- pertinent is attempted in Evanston, 1t w.ll not be long till there will be clashes between the races and the blacks will get the worst of 1t. Negroes on one side of a town and whites on another will re- quire some kind of dead line, which must be observed and respected impar- tially by both races, or there will be warm times, in our opinion.

men complained, because they come here with foolish ideas.
 Tn a recent address, Professor Council of the industrial school at Normal, Ala, gave out, as he usually does, some sound advice. Tn answer to the question, What should the negro do in the present crisis?" he said:
 n can only repeat what have said all along, that every negro should make the warm breath of his obedience to law, his spirit of industry and his friendship for his white neighbors so pronounced that they will know so thoroughly and Well that they will be gald. as in the olden time. to speak forhis good conduct. Ey- cry friend of the negro race must now come to the front and help him, in these first years of his experience in personal liberty. to think we'll and act honestly in all things. No people are better suited Tor this, than his early educators, the Tod slaveholders, who ebgan this work three hundred years ago. I would say to all: If every black man would say all the good things he can about every white man. and do all the good things he can for every white man; and every white man would say all the goods things he can about every black man, and do all the good things he can for every black man, the sunshine of love. peace and prosperity forever"
 Talk like this does more good than all the anti-iynching resolutions that can be- passed by hysterical New England maidens or by professional agitators and long range negro sympathizers. As was said by one of the speakers at the meet ing mentioned, the race problem is pretty much a personal equation.

 The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser ex- plains something that has needed expla- nation badly. While no one wished to throw Of on a sister commonwealth or her people by exprcssnb surprise that one of MT. Cleveland's temperament and prestige could be induced to go away up in Maine for a season the fact that he had done so has been a matter of no lt- tie private speculation. The Advertiser throws light on the subject. At this par ticular crisis in MT. Clevelahd's life. a secluded spot or spots iT O,aA vast will derness, away from the madding crowd of interviewers or congratulatory fatter- CTS would really be most attractive to the gentleman, and Maine is notoriously full of all sorts of spots. Among a few the Advertiser names are Medybemps Baskahegan. Molechumkemunk, Matta- ramkeag. Chunquassabamstock.

How Plants are Improved,

Plant-breeding is worthy of the name only. as it sets definite ideals and is able to attain them. Merely to produce new things Is of no merit says Prof. H. L.. Bailey in Country Life in America; that was done long before man was evolved. A child can produce" a new variety, but 1t may learn nothing and contribute noth- ing in producing 1t. I have myself pro- duced 1.500 new kinds of pumpkins and squashes, but have no idea what I was to produce, the world is no better for my having produced them, and I am no wiser (except in experienced than was before. In many things that are produced. there may be dispute as to whether they are distinct enough to be named and, therefore, to be ranked as varieties at all. This is not science, nor even breeding; 1t is playing and guess irS. What does the world care whether John Jones produces Jones' Giant Beardless Wheat?" But it does care whether he produces a wheat having more protein. We must give up the pro- duction of mere varieties" we must breed for certain definite attributes that will make the new generations of plants more efficient for certain purposes; that is the new outlook in plant-hreediHg. We are to breed not so much for merely new and striking characters, that will enable us to name. describe and sell novelty" as to improve the performance along cer- tain lines. It may be worth while to pro- duce a new variety" of potato by rais- ing new plants from the seed bolls; but 1t is much more to the point to augment the mealiness of some existing variety
 or to intensity its blight-resisting quail ties. We are not to start with variety.
 but with a plant. It is possible to secure a five or ten per cent increase in the efficiency of our field crops; this would mean the annual addition of hundreds of millions of dollars to the national gain.

A NEW THEORY ADVANCED.

The Minneapolis Tribune advances a new theory In connection with the Miles matter. It argues that the administra- tion's discourteous treatment of Miles was the result of deliberate calculation, the hope being that the act would create a strong sentiment in his favor which would result in his being taken up and nomin- ated by the Democrats. Such an act of hari kari by the Democracy would make Roosevelts calling and election sure, in the opinion of the Republicans. who fa- ther the scheme.
 The theory Is ingenious and there may be something in 1t, so far as Roosevelt is concerned. He is just the sort of man who would have kicked Miles out at the back door if he could have been certain of benefit to himself through such action. But whether this is or Is not a correct view of the reasons for the administra- tion's course makes little difference. There is little danger that Democrats will be caught in any such trap as that. Surely In vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird" says the proverb, and ~ so P.AsAiA ~ any aAAdh OA COtu- prehension that the Republicans are ex- hibiting a vast deal of solicitude about Miles and his future. They are trying to shed some tears over his unfair treat ment and are anxious that the Democrats shall take inn up and apply saive to his wounds.
 But the scheme will fail. The net is spread too plainly in view to catch old birds like the Democrats. Our Party is not yet out of Presidential timber and has no call to take a stick which has been discarded by the Republicans. We yet have some good Democrats who are available. The South doesn't want Miles. The country doesn't want him for Pres fdent and wouldn't elect him. He would stand no more show of success than Bryan would. His military record wouldn't elect him. His sore toe wouldn't attract votes. He has no claim for states- manship that we are aware of. The con- ditions are not as they were in 1S40 or 1S4S. when a minority Party could elect President solely on his military record If Roosevelt hopes by his treatment of Miles to saddle him on the Democrats and thus ensure his own triumph, he is badly mistaken man.

SAVE THE BIRDS.
Or Cotton Will Be Destroyed by Its
 Worm Enemies.

New Orleans Picayune.
 A few weeks ago the announcement that the Mexican boil weevil had irvad- ed the cotton fields of Louisiana rang like fire bell at midnight, and spread consternation among the cotton growers and the cotton buyers. It was known that this formidable creature whose vast insect hordes are as destructive in their march as would be an army of men with fire and sword, was devastating the fields of Texas. but in our fancied security there was belief that they would all be exterminated before they could ever cross the Sabine River.
 But now not only the State of Louisiana but the entire South is paying for the wanton and outrageius destruction of the birds. The whole world Is in on uproar. because in this year 1903 American cotton is selling for 14 and i5 cents. That is the reward the farmers are reaping for en- couraglng and insisting on the destruction of the birds. If the boil weevil is only propagated and protected for few years longer cotton will go up to 50 cents, and suddenly 1t will be discovered that the cotton supply of the world has been transferred to Africa. to South America, to Australia and other regions where the birds have not been exterminated, but are found in numbers sufficiently great to cope with the insect pests.
 The last session of the Louisiana Legis- lature refused to enact a law to protect the nonedible birds, and now cotton has gone up in price 100 per cent. Let us carry on the destruction of the birds for a few years longer, and there will be no cotton; simply that and nothing more.
