SOME POTATOES.

In this great potato country II is
remarkable that more attention is
not given 10 the raising of the food
product. We are a great potato eating
country but so is also most of the rest
of the world. Scarcely meal Is com
plete without having potatoes dished
up In some manner. II would not be
advisable for everybody with a patch
Of ground handy to go into potato
raising, but there is still room in that
industry for a great many people TO
improve their farming records and be-
come independent. Few people are
aware OF the fact that last year the
United States imported 5000 900 bush
els of potatoes from other countries
10 supply the hons demand for that
good stun. The fact is positively
amazing when we recall the vast
amount Of farm land In this country
that might be used for the production
OF the tubers in plenty and with large
profit.

GROWING POSTAL RECEIPTS.

The opinion of Postmaster General
Payne, that general rural free delivery
throughout the United States will pay
for itself is an encouraging view of a
highly important function of the gov
eminent When rural free delivery
was FIRST undertaken--and that was
only short time ago--it was regarded
as doubtful experiment. 1t was
thought that IL might be feasible and
self-sustaining in the thickly settled
portions of the country. but that II
would not reach large application
The results were surprising. Already
eight million dollars are expended an.
nually in this department of the postal
service, aud II is estimated that the
outlay of three times this sum would
enable the department to cover prac-
tically the whole of the United States.

Another Contract Closed.

The Consolidated Mining and Smelt-
ing company has just closed con-
tract for the term OF one year from
Jan. l. 1903, with +. G, Burns, OF Pima
county, Arizona. for all copper ores
and concentrates shipped by him from
his mines at or near Readinton, Ariz.
We are informed that at the pres
ent time Mr.. Burns has an output OF
from two to three cars per week OF a
high-grade copper ore, carrying some
silver. This, with the copper ore that
the smelter company obtains from its
own mines at Magdalena, ~ NJ, will
doubtless enable them to continuously
run the copper stack in conjunction
with the lead furnace.
We understand that the shutdown
which took place Dec. "a, was due to
want Of limestone caused by storms
and bad roads at Glo-ietta, from
whence this material is obtained, but
that the matter OF hauling has now
been arranged so that there will be
no future difficulty on this score.
The run just finished has been the
most successful one ever made by the
company. With the ores on hand and
those already contracted for the com.
ing year, Il would appear that when
the smelter starts up again, which 1t
will do in a week or ten days, that O
continuous run VIII be made. What
