mated that the gophers killed

would fill two large box cars, and

to planting and says at even 10

Trip in the North Country.

occasion last week to take trip
in the north country and found
everything there looking like the
residents mean business. Crops
were nearly all in and in many
places the wheat was two inches
high.
The spirit shown in all parts
bv those who live there is especi-
ally to be commended and the
first evidences OF the true spirit
of progress was evidenced at Ken
mare where the new school house
built last summer has been des-
troyed by fire. The rubbish has
been cleared and arrangements
made to rebuild at once. The
thriving little city is not to be
set back by one or two fires and
is growing at a healthy rate.
One thing that especially caught
our attention was the large num-
Der of trees that have been set
out in various parts Of the town
and the evidences OF care that is
taken OF them. This is someth-
inc t hat would be a good ex-
ample to all new towns and there
is no reason why there should
not be grove or park started
in each one,
At Mckinney the water had

to rights, even before the water

done by the water at that place
is something awful to contem-

to fully recover from the effects
OF it.
Mohall is quite a contrast to
the last named place and will be

streets and many business hous-
es make a lasting impression on
one who has seen the place on
which they stand nothing but

Cattle Values Continue Rising.

Current receipts tend to in
dictate a period OF beef scarcity
until the arrival OF range beef,
says Rappal Bros. 4 Co., OF
Chicago in a letter to the Indep
enlent and they advise as fol
lows.
Beef values continue to scar
under the influence OF light re-
ceipts, and popular weight cat
tie are 80 per cent higher than
three weeks ago. Sixcent cattle,
long expected, materialized this
week. Fridays top $6.25-was
the highest price OF the year, and
IS cents higher than a year ago.
Buyers have given sellers well
nigh all they have asked for, and
good profits were pocketed on
nearly everything handled. Prac.
tically no beef has been left on
the hoof over night during the
past two weeks, the bulk selling
at $40 to $40 the highest
prices in two years back.
The marked improvement in
cattle values Of late justified ex-
pectancy Of heavy runs during
the past two weeks, and killers
have accepted the light receipts
as evidence that feed lots are
about exhausted. Consequently
traders are freely predicting,that
a lusty demand will prevail for
western grassers, and that even
heavy receipts will be absorbed
readily a stiff prices during the
coming season,

sus Bureau, in which ara statistics
relating to the huorspar industry,
is of considerable interest to zinc
producers, particularly those uf
Kentucky and Illinois. Probably
the most striking feature of the
section is that which shows the in
crease in production during the
decade under consideration. The
production advanced from $500
in 1889 to 48,SlS tons in 1892,
while the value increased from
$l5,8IS to $275,6S2 in 1902. This
tonnage was produced from twen-
Ity-two mines, of which ii were 10
Gated in Kentucky. 3 in Illinois. 2
in Arizona and one . in Tennessee
What is significant is the fact that
the Rosiclaire mines in Illinois
were alone producing in 1889 and
that during the II years under
consideration the states produc-
ton increased from $500 tons to
1850 tons, of which the major
part was still produced by the Mo
Lean properties.
That the Kentucky-Illi n 8
fields contain large deposits of
tiuorspar is generally known. A
few years ago it was supposed that
the Kentucky deposits, which op-
ened up would flood the market
and greatly reduce values. But
instead, the demand has been stea
Oily increasing, while the dsvel-
opments of the past few y ears in
dictate the ability of these two
states to supply all the huorspa T
needed for years to come. So far
the greatest avenus of oonsump-
ton of this mineral is in the ste ell
manufacturing business, but there
is reason to believe the mineral
will be used in blast furnaces and
the smelling of copper and other
minerals, as we'll as IN foundry
work, especially as soon as it's val
ne for huxing purposes is more
generally understood.
1t is claimed that in the manu-
faoture of open hearth steel about
eight pounds of huorsps- are con.
sumed in the manufacture of each
ton of steel, its province in the
smelling being the elimination of
the sulphur and phosphorus, in.
the different grades of iron. The
peculiar property of huorspar in
reaching temperature far above
its surroundings renders it valua

the same time increase the produc
ton of the furnace, which IL an
