RID. No. 1, Salem, Or, Aug. 20, lgl
Mr.. +. A. Virgins,
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Sir: / have use the Beni,l
Hancock Disc Plow purchased fral
you for two seasons and wish to NJ
that it has given great satisfaction /
deed. For early fall blowing it has N
come indispensable. I do not wait na
for rain, but pillow as soon as the otbI
fall work permits. 1 find that it leayI
the ground in as good condition as N
ordinary walking plow plus one bad
rowing.
1t draft is less per inch turned thai
the walking pillow.
/ have never had any trouble in I'd
securing, though / have given it t,
most severe tests. In heavy, wet
spring blowing it gives less ~satisfae
tory results though. even here it Is
equal, if not superior, to the walking
plow. A special merit it possesses in
its material and workmanship. Nv
discs are almost as good as new, have
never needed sharpening, yet I have
given it the severest trial among rocks.
Yours truly, JAS. r. SHEPARD,

Salem, Or, Aug. 10, 1904.
Mr.. f. A. Virgins,
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Will tell you what we
think of the Benicia. Hancock Disc
Plow. We would not do without our
pillow, We can pillow when other people
that use the old mold board pillow have
10 wait until it rains.
We find early fall blowing an advan-
tage because we can SOW before the
winter rains commence, and results
have been good with us.
The disc pillow will pillow where the
mold board pillow will not stay in the
ground. -Four horses walk right along
with the gang. You must have plenty
of weight to make the pillow run steady.
The Disc Plow scours in our soil, red
and black, the dirt will stick to the
disc only when the dirt is between a
wet aud a dry.
We could not pillow our side hill land
until we had the rear wheel controller
and front furrow shift. The jointers
we have not used enough to say, but
think they will be all right.
The Benicia. Hancock Disc Pillow is a
good all round pillow. Yours respect.

Mr.. F. A. Virgins,
Salem, Oregon.
Dear Sir: I regard the Benicia.
' Hancock Disc Plow as a valuable add,
tion to the farmers outfit for the fol.
lowing reasons:
1t allows him to begin blowing his
dry land before the days get short and
the rains come; the draft may be a
little heavy, but the amount of land
turned compensates for this fact. The
pillow drops down and tears up land
that would not be touched by the mold
board pillow. The ground turned over
Is IN very good condition. The weight
OF the disc pillow is necessary to hold it
TO the ground. 1t scours well in the
various soils and will turn the dirt
where another pillow would not scour.
l have not used a j%ointer on my pillow,
but the real wheel controller l regard
as a valuable part OF the pillow. We
could not have done our work last sea.
son on account of the rain, had we not
had the disc pillow and commenced
work early.
We hope to begin blowing as soon as
harvest is over and before the rains
come. Yours truly,
w. j. CRAWFORD.

Ohio Copper Company Said to
Have Named a Price on
Its Vast Holdings
is LIKELY TO Be ACCEPTED.
Shareholders Want a Million Dollars
For Property - Examination
BY Competent Engineers

There are many things to indicate
that the coming year viii bring about
important changes In the ownership OF
some Of Blnghams biggest copper prop
critics Whether Amalgamated Copper
interests win figure in the transac-
lions remains 10 he seen; but never
theless, It Is expected. Il Is no secret
that In the copper share morkets OF
the east the Amalgamated crowd has
been buying Bingham stocks notably
Utah Consolidated.
Ths News" has been reliably in
formed that the Ohio Copper company
which owns big slice Of the porphyry
belt ON which the Utah Copper company
is makir. such a brilliant concentration
success, nas been asked TO name a price
at which the property could be fur-
chased II has also been learned IN
the same way that figure has been
stated and that there are good reasons
10 believe Il win be accepted. Just what
this figure Is, has not been disclosed,
but the fact has been known for some-
time that the owners have valued their
stock at 81 q share. which Is on the
basis OF 81 600 900 for the mine so II Is
hardly probable that any figure under
this would receive consideration, The
mine Is worth the money. AT least
that is the opinion expressed By mining
engineers familiar with the property.
Managing Director Henry Catrow
under whose conservative and painstak'
ing administration some immensely
large ore reserves have been developed
during the past year, when asked by,a
News representative about the posi-
bic sale OF the mine TO a formidable
syndicate would neither confirm nor
deny the report which has gained con-
siderable currency. All he would say
was, that ne knew OF nothing having
TRANSFERRED that would in any way
change plans for the future, which in
Guides the equipment Of the mine
with greater milling facilities,
Nevertheless the "News' has re-
Ceiyed some very positive Information
that the Ohio officials have been ap-
preached and while no option has been
given, they have verbally agreed to turn
the mine over at their price the very
moment the money Ia planked down
for IT,
IL is reported that engineers are on

bodies and 70 ascertain to what extent
the low grade copper bearing p0r-
phyries penetrate the Ohio's domains
II may take several months TO bring
the deal 20 a realization. But there Is
something brewing.
The Ohio undoubtedly has very
bright future Il Is conceded TO be

camp.
