Peter Mason, of Wardner,
passed through here Saturday en-
route to Lucille where he is in
terested in the we'll known Nc
kinley mine. Mr.. Mason's com
pany has had "a large amount of

Assessor Telcher is one Of the

rush to come next week. The fact
that people will wait until the last

in an Interview About Americas
Present situation. He Says Depre-
citation of Stocks is Not Due to Eu-
ropean SEEMING or Observation-Disclosures
HAS Confidence in our Future.

London. june u.-Lord Rothschild
was interviewed by an Associated
Press Representatives today on the fl
nanclal situation in America. He said:
1t is no good looking further than
your nose in these matters. The de-
probation in stock values is not caus-
"a by European selling. for the very
good reason that Europe has scarcely
any American securities 10 sell. Yes
terday's sales in London We're almost
entirely on New York orders. Anster-
dam sold slightly. but not nearly as
| much as was attributed TO that city by
the dispatches. When an American
| wants to sell he has got into the habit
of sending his order here and leaving
| the matter to the arbltrage houses.
There is absolutely no feeling of dis
trust in Europe over the financial con-
ditionS in America. Onlv q 1901 would
| say that the tinanCierS here are max
ing what you call 4 dead set against
American securities. What do | think
of the futuren Well. the best answer
| can give IS this" and Lord RothS-
| child handed over a stock ticket show
ing that he had just purchased 900
| shares of an American railway. "Inat
of course. Is only a drop in the bucket,
but | may tell YOU that one of the
wealthieSt capitalists [ know yesterday
invested 200. O00 pounds in American
securities. and he has put another
200. 600 pounds into them again this
morning. That sounds large. but it is
nothing compared with the selling or
ders which came here from New York.
At such a period as this the transac-
tons of eve the largest investors a
a small effect upon the market IN
which the speculatOr figures so large
ly."
Lord RothschildS' explanation of the
recent serious shrinkage in values is
this:
"Speyers went into street railways.
Yerkes came over here to eletrofy
the under grounds. Morgan bought
British securities and I am told
SchWab went in largely for British in
duSrtiaIS. All thought that British or
European investors would make 4
larger share IN these European enter
prises than they did. The result IS
that some of the largest capitalists in
America have been obliged TO realize
on their securities on the other side in
order to provide capital for their un-
dertakings here. Under such Circum-
stances. quotations We're bound to go
| down.

MONEY IN PIGS.
How a Girl Began Profitable In
 dustry on a Great Farm.

Country Life in America.
 Six years ago a daughter of pr. w. Seward Webb, in order to show her ousi- ness ability and to obtain little addi- tionaI pocket money. took little nyer in stock breeding on Shelburne farms, pr. Webb's country seat on Lake Cnanpiain' She invested $20 in brood SOW ana with her fathers permission made arrange nents with the shepherd to care Tor the SOW and the pigs As there was an aound- ance of skim milk. this was given her without cost. but all the grain fed was charged for at market prices. From this single investment she cleared 80 the first vear S2OO the second year and $500 the third By this time the stock had so m creased in numbers as to outgrow Its quarters. and was proving so profitable that pr. Webb thought 1t advisable to buy her out. So at the end of the fourth year he took over the stock at market prices and gave her a check for $70O, which rep resented the years profits. From this start the present piggery has been developed. which is the most profitable department of the place. The past year 200 pigs were sold. averaging from 250 to 300 pounds in weight, and bringing 1-2 cent per pound more than the ruling market prices be- cause Of the superior conditions under which they are kept. The piggery Is a model of it's kind. The building is in keep ing with the others on the place in exte- rior style, and the interior is finished wth hard, pine cement floors and iron troughs and fixtures.

conception of things in this world was based on board measure. The people or California imagined that MT. Whiteside might move on the grove any minute with an army of men and saw the big trees down. But the good people of the Golden State were needlessly alarmed Mir Whiteside had no notion of destroying the wonderful forest sentinels. but has kept a very discreet and mysterious sil- ence ever since he secured the property
 California seemed to marvel at his te- merity in buying the wonderful grove, but they could not have been no more astonished than was MT. Whiteside when he discovered that the grove could be bought for money. He says he was never more surprised in his life than when somebody out In California told him that $10O,000 would buy the Calaveras grove. He promptly sought out the agent of the owners of the grove and asked the price. He was told $1o0,0OO cash. He asked for an option. and it was given. Mir. White side laid a thousand dollar bill in the hand of the agent to bind the option. It was soon known in San Francisco that MT. Whitesde had secured this option and then the press and the people of that State began abusing the "lumberman from Minnesota"
 Referring recently to the hard things that were said of him by the Californians Mir Whiteside said:
 1T may not appreciate the grandeur of the big trees quite as much as the people of California. but if they had safeguard ed their treasure as they should have done they would have 1t under their con trol now.
 They left the property lying around like tract of jack pine. ready to be jerked up by the first man that had the price. The people out on the Pacific Coast need
 not think I am trying to hold them up for anything. I possess nothing that
 would rather hand down to my children
 than the Calaveras grove If by buying the famous trees have produced in the | minds of Californians a proper appreci- ation of that marvel of nature in their | State I shall feel that 1 have done some
 thing"

 costly dwelling in Duluth. He will cut | a few of the moderate-sized trees. Doubt grudge him a few of these
