GREAT RECORD OF
BECK TUNNEL
A Prospect a Year Ago, But Now
One Of the Big Mines Of
Tintic District.
SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
Went to Shareholders In Dividends
This Month---Iias Bright
Future
Special Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Eureka, Dec. 1.-THE news that the
Bullion-Beck Tunnel mine Is to pay
an extra Christmas dividend OF cents
or $4,000, IN addition to the Accent, or
$4,000, dividend, was no surprise to the
people Of Tintic, who are familiar with
conditions at this wonderful mine.
Sixty thousand dollars in one month
for the stockholders IN a company
which little over a year ago was a
more prospect, Is certainly splendid
record when Il Is known that this
brings the total IN dividends from this
company up 10 S335,Q0O
II vas IN December, 1905, that the
first dividend, one cent a share, or Sl0,-
600, was paid out to the fortunate own
ers Of Beck Tunnel stock. Since that
time there has been a dividend every
month, the amount being Increased
from time 20 time until the distribu-
ton for the last month of 1906 amounts
TO 100000 Those who are familiar
with the ore bodies IN the Beck Tun-
mel are OF the opinion that these dlVi-
dends, and possibly larger ones. VIII
be kept UP Indefinitely. The ore bod
les In Beck Tunnel are so large that
scarcely any waste Is taken out OF the
mine Some times barely more than n
car of waste is hoisted for days at a
time.

Another Farmers Organiza-
tion--The National Con-
vention Of the American
Society of Equity.

East St, Lois. IL. Oct.-25
The first national convention OF
the American Society of Equity.
composed OF farmers, began here
today with 800 delegates from
Illinois. Kentucky, New York
North Carolina. Utah, Wiscon-
sin, Ohio and Indiana. The so
ciety seeks 70 regulate values OF
grain and farm products by re-
gu!ating the supply in relation
to the demand.
President 9. q. Drayton, in
mis- annual address said:
This organization is not a
trust, nor a combine 10 force ex-
tOrtionate prices, but rather an
organization to get profitable
prices tor farm products. It is
composed OF local unions Of far
mers established at shipping
points. The unions from these
points form the State association.
These combined form the nation
al association. Our idea is to es.
tablish grainaries in the grain
country, cold storage plants, hay
barn. and places to store all sorts
Of farm produce.
"If the market is ,low the So
ciety will hold the product until
the demand forces up profitable
prices, when the goods may be
sold. The poor farmer who
cannot afford to hold his grain
will be given warehouse re
ceipt, good for two-thirds the
face value Of the grain repre- ent
ed"

Keeping Irish Potatoes.
Mr.. Lane Describes the Plan
Successful in All His Thir-
ty Years Experience.
Progressive Farmer.

Progressive Farmer.
We rarely put Irish potatoes
in cellars in this section. but bank

as We do sweet potatoes.
Our plan-and it hardly ever
fails-is to put in a long bank
about FIVE or six feet wide at

better. as the mound sheds wa
ter better when sharp.
Pot six or eight inches thick
of pine straw under them, and
when piled up. cover with straw
a feot thick. press down and COW
er about six inches thick with
dirt, covering up completely.
Press the dirt to keep it from
being porous, and if kept dry,
there is no danger from rot. A
few put cover Of boards over to
keep off water, some nail two ten
or twelve-inch boards together
at right angles, and put hollow
down on top Of the straw which
etfcctuallv makes a water she'd.
Then cover as before. plank and
all.
We keep from ten to hundred
bushels in this way in one pile,
making it long according TO the
quantity TO be pUr IN. Dirt should
not be as thick as for sweet po
tatoes, for the Irish potatoes will
stand much mure cold than the
sweet potatoes will.

banks the last Of February, but

SCOTT IS DELIGHTED.
Thinks Presidents Move Great Aid To
 SimpInfied Spelling.

New York, Aug. 25-Dr. c. T. G. Scott, secretary of the simplified spell ing board, is elated over the Presidents order that the reform spelling be used in official documents issuing from the White House
 He believes that it Is the greatest step yet made in simplifying the spelling of English, although, even with the Presi- dential endorsement. he does not be- lieve that there will be any sudden change from the old established spell ing.
 Dr. Scott said yesterday that he lad been in correspondence with the heads of all the scientific bureaus in Wash ington, the President and the public printer and many government officials all of whom had long been eager to re- form certain inconsistencies in spell ing.
 The public printer. he said. had al ready asked the board to aid him in compiling a new style book" One or two newspapers and some maga- zines and certain trade journals are us Ing the three hundred simpiihed spell ings suggested by the board. and the superintendent of schools in Dublin mas been authorized to adopt these spell ings If he deems 1t advisable.
 Professor Charles McMillan Of Prince ton University said, when asked what he thought of the changes in spelhns' endorsed by President Roosevelt
 T do not think 1t would be Of any value. for when we change our words to spell them phonetieally we lose their origin. When we do this. we Will have

to begin all over Surely the English language is complicated enough as 1t is now. without making 1t still worse. I believe we should by all ments retain the old methods of spelling" "What change such a new system
 would make in our colleges and what a reprinting of standard works would be necessary to bring it into use. We must first secure uniform pro- nunciation before we can hope to have a. successful phonetic system of spell ing" said Professor James Morgan Hart, head of the English department at CornellI University according to a special from Ithaca, printed in today s World.
 For that reason the proposed new spelling will not be phonetic, but will | consist merely of cutting off unneces- sary letters. I can't say that I dislike the innovation, but the men at the
 head of 1t are not recognized leaders and do not command a very extens ve following. I think President Roosevelt was bit hasty in adopting the so-eall- ed phonetic system for his State docu-
 ments."
 The World also publishes a special from Providence, R. l., in which Presl- dent Faunce of Brown University IS
 quoted as follows:
 Of course, no one expects to intro- duce complete pnoheue SpSiA1Hs

 As long as words are pronounced m
