HVMBUG in LITERARY WORLD

1.-THE greatest buffer IN the literary
game that ever heard off," said a man
employed in the counting room of big
magazine, to New York Sun reporter,
"was fellow who probably never
wrote a line in his life, but he had
some reason for wanting to make some
friends think that he was a regular
contributor.
HE came into our Office and offered
US $50 bill and asked if we would let
him have the concerns check for that
amount. He showed US the check Of

he would perceive the economy Of
growing soil-enriching, leguminous
plant between the corn rows. On the
broad prairies of the western states
he would learn methods of curtailing
expenses by the use of plows, planters,
cultivators and corn harvesters, de-
signed so that one man can work
large number of horses and thereby ac-
complish a maximum Of work. With
such implements one man can, without
help, plant and care for 40 or 60 acres
of corn in addition to his other crops.
The same methods and implements are
suitable for many farms where more
tedious and laborious methods are now
followed.
While it is true that proper attention
to seed selection and methods of cul-
tivation will greatly increase the aver
age production per acre for all land
now devoted to corn growing, it is

wanted the check for he made no bones
of explaining that he wanted to show it
to two or three friends to make them

would keep up the bluff if one Of his

that would be easy, as he would de-

The level of public speaking in Eu-

there are no lofty eminences. This can
hardly be a consequence of democracy,
for it is In democracies or in law
courts, which are for the moment dem
ocracies, that the most splendid ora
tors have revealed their powers; and
we cannot but hope that in the fierce
struggle which is nov opening, a strug-

stand so grievously in need.-Specta-

average production of corn per acre in

from this that it is desirable to double
the present corn crop, but that it is
desirable to produce the same yield on
a smaller number of acres and with
less labor. If 60 bushels are raised on
one acre instead of on two acres, the
labor of blowing, narrowing, planting,
cultivating and harvesting is greatly
reduced. Some farmers produce from

GOSSIP FROM:
SCANDINAVIA:

The loneliness of the Russian police
system has been strikingly exempli-
fed at Haparanda, Sweden, and Tor
nea, Finland. On Midsummer day the
Russian police authorities of Tornea
prevented many Swedes from entering
the city, and after 10 o'clock in the
evening no one was permitted to en-
ter from the Swedish side. AT the
same time the streets of Haparanda
were literally swarming with Russian
gendarmes, their uniforms striking
the eyes and the rafting of their sa-
bres the ears of the citizens every
where. This action on the part of the
Russians is plainly a violation of Ar
ticle ~. of the treaty of 1910, and the
Russian government will have to make
amends.

The noted case of Henry Cramer OF
Clara City, Mimi, against the North
western Elevator company of Mime
apolis, has been decided in favor of
the defendant. There is involved in
this case question of vital interest
to the grain trade and to every north
western farmer-the right of coun-
try elevator manager to issue re-
celpts for grain in form other than
that prescribed by statute and the
regulations of the railroad and ware
house commission, and the binding
power OF such receipts or memoranda
upon the elevator company.
The case was bitterly fought in
June 1901, was lost by the defend
ant, went before the Minnesota SUI
Preme court, was sent back for re-
trial, and came up again last month
at Granite Falls. Fifteen or more
rough slips bearing memoranda in
numbers and signed by j. Keely,
agent OF the Northwestern Elevator
company, but without date or other
marks of definiteness, made up the
principal exhibit. The court decided
that such receipts are not binding
upon the elevator company and are
not collectable.
In the case in question the elevator
company was able to show that there
was no record On their books that
they had ever received the grain and
that their agent had never notified
the Minneapolis Office of any such
receipts. The first knowledge of it
came with the presentation of the
slips in question, which, the farmers
claimed, were issued to them by
Keely for grain taken in.
With this decision in mind farmers
and country elevator men will have
need for greater caution hereafter.

What George 5. Nixon Says of Cold
field and Tonopah.

George S. Nixon, to whose energetic
efforts the State of Nevada is so largely
indebted for its present prosperity, is in
Salt Lake, says the Tribune, accom-
panied by George I. Mills, a capitalist,
and another equally aggressive exPon-
ent of the States resources. Like the
remainder of its enterprising citizens,
the visitors have each been prompt in
embracing opportunities held out to
them by Tonopah and Goldfield, and
are interestedin many of their extraordi-
nary developments. Assuming that the
miner who has not learned of the splen-
did achievements at Tonopah has found
lodgings in the cemetery, Mr.. Nixon,
upon whom Nevada is now seeking to
thrust political distinction, says of Gold
field, that there has been no exagger-
alton whatever concerning its lodges nor
their sensational contents. He is able
to verify the story of high grade ores
for cheeks that We're issued in pay
ment for them by the American
Smelling and Refining company Of this
city, have passed through the banking
hous es of which he is the general man
ager. Nor, he added, can any man APP
preciate the extent Of the camps posi-
bilities who has not made personal ex-
animation of the mines.

GREATER THAN VICTOR
Salt Laker Prophesies Great Things
for Coldfield.

John Trenchard, formerly engaged in
business in this city, is back from Gold
field says the Salt Lake Tribune. His
impressions of the camp OF gold are
identical with those of the many who
have preceded him. He recognizes the
foundation there for a most productive
and most populous diggings. Already
the area in which is revealed the pres
ence of mineral, if not of rich ore, is
greater than at Victor, Colo, of which
camp he wa at one time an inhabitant.
The record of strikes, too, compares IA
yorably with that at Victor, at a cores
ponding period of development, and
while a greater tonnage of ore is not
being forwarded it is because the facili-
ties for transporting it are so limited.
Again, the washouts on the railroad and
a lack of equipment has been a source
of extreme vexation.
At present the camp is getting ready
to fathom the lodges to greater depths.
Prominent i'm these preparations are the
Scwab interests. They are providing
themselves with a huge compressor with
which to operate a big battery of drills,
and propose to do their work in a man
per up to date. This work must do
much to demonstrate the longevity of
the camp, over which so much of Ne
yada and not a little of the world with
out has gone mad. On the ground the
visitor is permitted to see'any kind of
rock for which he may yearn. 1t is pro-
ductive of some Of the richest on earth.
Discussing the commercial features of
the diggings over there Mr.. Trenchard
says that while many of the earlier OPP
%portunities have been embraced by tai
ent from Tonopah, there are openings
for men of resources left.

REVEILLE BONANZA.
Tom Lynch and Associates Have
Phenomenal Nine.

A correspondent of Ores and Metals,
Denver, writing that publication from
Nevada, says tits very plain that Thomas
J. Lynch OF Salt Lake, NJ. l.. MacDon-
aid of Butte and their associates have a
phenomenal silver-lead bonanza in the
Last Chance mines at Reveille, which
were bought from Herman Reischke
several months ago. 1t will be remem-
bered that ninety days or SO ago a mann
moth cave was found in the property by
sinking a shaft some forty feet deep.
That happened just after Mr.. Lynch
had interested Mr., Mcdonald and others
in the proposition, and since that time
the bonanza character of the PROPOSE
ton has become apparent, The South-
western Nevada Mining company was
organized to operate the ground and the
word from camp now is that stock in
the company is understandable, though So
a share has been bid for it.
The cave mentioned has been explored
for a distance of 300 feet and to an aver
age depth of 400 feet below the surface.
1t has been found that enormous masses
of ore worth all the way from $50 to$1Q0
per ton have broken away from the
hanging wall side of the cave There
vet remains from three to eight feet of
ore clinging to the hanging wall, and
when the tunnel, now completed to a
point very neal the lower end of the
ave, reaches the cave, mining will be
about the simplest thing in the world.
