he couldn't get the coin and preserve

"'Billy,'' he said, of course this

Custer is down at the mouth of the
Little Big Horn, about forty miles
from where we were. The man lit out
with the blackboard that very evening,
and did not get back till the next af-
ternoon. He had stopped at McCor-
mick'Sf camp, about four miles below
that of the Duck Bar outfit, and
when he arrived at the latter place
there was one bottle of ginger ale
and a quart bottle of whisky. He
didn't give any explanations as to
what had become of the rest, and he
Billy Carter expressed little surprise
that his $50 hadn't purchased more
whisky for his own outfit. He voiced
his establishment mildly for a cowboy,
but the herders could tell from the
snap of his eyes that he was doing a
little thinking, too. In fact, he was
so mild about it that the rest of us
thought he was going to let the mat
ter drop.
But he hadn't the slightest inten-
ton of passing up the matter. He
went over the Crow reservation the
very next day and bought the best
swimming horse he could find. There
was nothing unusual in such an ac-
ton and no comment was passed ex-
cept upon the swimming qualities of
the horse. That night he brought the
Duck Bar cattle down to the west
bank of the Big Horn and bedded
them down in sight of the steers sold
to Mccormick, and then on the other
side of the river.
"McCormicks main outfit was, as
1 have said, about four miles below,
on the east side of the big Horn, but
the cattle bought from the Duck Bar
were in charge of half dozen men.

Immense Amount of Copper Mined in

Immense Amount of Copper Mined in
this Country.
Copper has become a great neces-
city of modern life in the develop
ment of mechanics. In the matter of
supply the United States leads the
world. The total production of cop
per last year was LILO, 900 900 pounds,
of which 714,O0O.OOO pounds were
mined in this country. This repre-
sents an increased output of about
four-fold since 1884. Spain and Port
ugal come next in line as copper pro-
ducers, but they are far behind, their
total being hardly more than one
eighth of that of this country. Mex
leo ranks third, but her yield also is
small as compared with that of the
United States. With the development
of electrical science and the growth
of applied electricity, a demand for
copper arose which only the most ire
mendous energy has been able to
meet. American skill and enterprise
rose to meet the demand, and the
copper output has increased by leaps
and bounds and is still forging ahead.
The copper mines in Mexico are be-
ing worked by American capital and
labor, but the output is, of course, &C.
credited to the country that produces
it.-Portland Oregonian.

Irvine from Wisconsin Wire Grass.
Wire grass Irvine is a new product
of the Northwest, which promises to
relieve the stringency of the. supply
of Manila Irvine during the wheat lar
vest season. The wire grass from
which the Irvine is made is grown in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, and other
products as well as Irvine, are made
from it. C. w. Crawford of Indianapo-
lis, explained the nature of the new
product:
For the last ten years or more"
he said, 1.-The wheat harvest season
has assumed the aspect of a bugbear
to farmers who did not have a large
supply of Irvine on hand. Without
Irvine binders cannot run, and without
binders it is impossible to harvest
wheat.
THE only variety Of Irvine that
could be used in the past was the
Manila variety, imported from the
Philippine Islands. The supply of that
always gave out before the harvest
ended, and the lack of it often occa-
stoned great loss. The new wire
grass has proved to be equal, if not
superior to Manila Irvine, and the
farmers may rest easy now

Whale Impaled on Warship's Ram.

When between Malta and Gibral-
tar on her way home to pay off, her
majesty's steamer Diana struck a
large whale some sixty feet in
length. The impact was not felt,
but the officer of the watch noticed
on taking bearings of an island
which the ship was passing that she
was not making the headway which
was to be expected, and he then dis
covered that a large whale was i'm
paled on the ships ram and was
just appearing above water. The
ship was stopped, and the engines
were reversed, and as she went
astern the whale dropped off. \
similar occurrence was recorded in
the Graphic in 1890, when her mai
esty's steamer lmmortalite ran into
a whale off the coast of Portugal
while on her way to England. On
that occasion the collision between
the ship and the whale was distinct
ly felt.-London Graphic.
