The Universal Gifts.

An old farmer was talking OF his
boyhood to a group OF young people
not long ago 1t had been lived-that
far-away boyhood-eariy in the last
century, in a country place remote
from towns. He described its meager
conditions-the houses. in which such
things as "convenfences" had never
been dreamed of, the coarse food and
poor clothing, the scanty schooling,
the few holidays; no magazines, al
most no books, no entertainments or
sports except an occasional sleighing
party; no "junketings." no celebra-
tion of Christmas or New Year, no
vacations from work. Nothing that

like mighty mountain peaks, steadfast
and uncbangeable among all the
changing philosophers, civilizations,
powers. Sorrows come often, and
sickness and defeat; there are lives
eaten by poverty and dwarfed by con-
straining circumstance. yet, says the
Youths Companion, to every life these
three things are given-the joy of sun
shine and blue skies, the cheer and
comradeship and inspiration Of other
lives pressing upon his, the opportu-
nifty to hope and dream and do bat

The American NDrummer."

A United States consul sends to the
state department bit of advice for
American business houses that intend
seeking trade in Spanish-American
countries. Cheap travelling sales

clares. will not be able to do much
business there. Statesmen of culture
and education. with polished manners

customs OF the people among whom

The consul's intentions are good.
and 1t is easy to see the point he
seeks to make. American business
houses would doubtless do well to
remember his words of caution. But
he has wrong conception of the
American travelling salesman. The
type he has in mind figures more
largely on the stage and In the books
of fiction than on the road. The roy
stering. flashy "spellbinding' drum
mer has practically disappeared. The

level-headed, capable men of business.
They seek, says the Cleveland Leader,
to obtain and hold trade by a thorough
knowledge of the branch of 1t they are
in and by deserving the confiden of
the men they deal with. The COM
mercial traveller of to-day does not re-
sort to tricks. He transacts business
lon a business basis, and succeeds on
his merits. Such accomplished gen
ltlemen as are described by the consul
would doubtless have an immense ad-
vantage over their less gifted brethren
in Latin-America. but the supply of
them is bound TO be limited. 1t is
safe prediction that the plain. ordi-
nary American travelling men will get
their full share of the business in
Mexico and Central and South Amer

Stewart a Candidate.

Denver.-In announcing his candi-
dacy before the Republican state con-
vention for the nomination of gov
ernor, Philip B. Stewart, of Ell Paso
county, issued the following statement
Thursday night: 81 shall accept the
nomination for governor of this state
If it is offered to me by the Repub-
hcan state convention; but only on
condition that l can do so without
pledge or commitment of any kind
whatsoever. That job belongs 10 the
state and its interests-its duties
should be met as they arrive, with the
single purpose of fairly and compe
teatly discharging them.

THREATENS COLORADO.
Free Philippine Sugar Would Ruin
SUGAR Beet Industry.

Sugar Beet Industry.
Denver-In discussing the Philip
pine sugar tariff, the Denver News,
Senator Patterson's paper, says:
1.-The scheme to place Philippine
products upon the free list is one of
the cherished schemes of the most pro-
nounced imperialists, for they know
that American capital multiplied by
tens of millions, when invested in the
islands, will create insuperable bar
riers to separation.
But in addition to that, Senators
Patterson and Teller are opposed to
the free list scheme because they real
ize that within few years the produc-
ton of Philippine sugar would become
so great, and 1t can be produced and
landed SO cheaply in American ports,
that no American farmer could culti-
vate with profit a single acre of the
sugar beets. The factories along the
Platte and the Arkansas and in other
sections of Colorado and Of the United
States would soon be ruins, and the
lands of the farmers that have doubled
In value since the introduction of the
sugar beet would relapse to their for
mer price. In short, the scheme OF
the Philippine free trader is to rob the
American farmer of practically the
only protection he gets from the Ding
ley tariff, making him pay tribute,
without any returns, to the syndicates
and trust combines in the purchase of
everything that enters into the con-
sumption Of his home and his farm.
'If that is Democratic doctrine, Sen
ator Patterson unhesitatingly declares
that he is opposed to such a doctrine
and would wipe it from the party con-
fession of principles If it was within
his power. But 1t is not Democratic
doctrine. 1t is simply the vaporing
of theorist, and should it crystalline
into Democratic doctrine, all hope of
Democratic success in the future
would, and in Senator Patterson s
opinion should, vanish

breed a bull He was a very intelligent
animal and greeted evry one with a
merry bark in the morning. He had a
short tail, but Leo thoughth he would
look better and could fight harder with
his ears clipped. He fondly took him to
a doctors office Saturday afternoon to
have the job done. Bull was given chlor-
oform, so the operation would be less
painful. After being put to sleep the
ears were clipped. but poor Bull never
awakened from his unnatural sleep. Poor

White Fine County
Mining Deal
The Guggenheimers Syndicate Paid Eleven
Million Dollars for the Control of the
Nevada Consolidated

pert engineer. had much to do with
the successful termination OF the present
deal
The race between the Guggenheim in
terests and the newly organized United
States Company bids fair to assume large
and warm proportions. 1t bids fair to be
of vast interest to the world generally,
and of course of. corresponding comfort
and benefit to the fortunate holders or
copper properties and stocks.
The deal has created no end of interest
and speculation in this city, where there
are many who have held on to their
Nevada Consolidated stock which they
purchased at a good figure from the pres
ent standpoint of the market. While
there remains the slightest doubt in many
circles as to the price to be paid for the
control many who are acquainted with
the property do not question that II
would take a large sum to- secure TIA
worth of the Nevada Consolidated is ber-
ter appreciated perhaps In this city than
elsewhere outside of the camp of Ely
owing to the large number of people who
have recently visited the mines.
Many have gone to Ely to inspect what
was termed and what they considered a
mere prospect The result of their obser-
vations has been fairly paralyzing-in-
stead of prospect they found a genuine
mine and a mine of tremendous proper
tions. They also found that the grounds
of the company were veritable hot-bed
of activity and business. Persons return
ing from Boston unanimously agree that
the news of the Nevada Consolidated has
reached that city as well; the stock is d
favorite on the Boston market, and in
dlcations point to the fact that the stock
will become one of the most soughth after
on the market of that copper center.
The properties of the Nevada Consoll-
dated include some of the most choice
mineral-bearing ground in the district
the company owning about 1000 acres az
the present time having continually been
adding to it's possessions for some time
past. Quietly and without much show
except from what leaked out through
visitors, the work has been progressing.
and 1t is thought by those familiar with
the property that between 100000 anG
100000 tons of copper ore have oeeel
blocked out. This ore is all high grade

now favorable to a much sooner inau-
gueration of ore extraction than is gen.

That this ic an age of mining deals tre-
mendous In extent ana importance the
recent great combinations have elo-
quently testified, and that the year 1906
will not be far behind the recorrid estab-
lished by 1905. If indeed. not far in ad-
vance of the previous year. present de-
velopments are fairly tramplinng upon
one annother to demonstrate. The latest
deal of magnitude was whispered about
the streets Thursday, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. and which was to the effect
that the Guggenheims had secured an
option on a block of Nevada Consolidated
stock in White Pine county constituting
the control of that organization.
II can be stated with so fair a degree
of certainty as to be quite accurate that
the Guggenheim people have succeeded in
securing an option on 81 per cent of the
stock of the Nevada Consolidated. Should
this be definitely verified by subsequent
events, and there is no doubt but what
IL will be, the Importance of the deal
cannot be overestimated. Should the ne
of shares of the Nevada Consolidated
that are in existence to the extent OF
$1,000 shares 1per cent of this number
would be 4se 600 shares taat are included
within the scope Of the negotiations
The basis upon which the deal has been
consummated is said to be $50 per share,
which would mean that for the bare con-
troll OF the Nevada Consolidated the ven
dees will have to pay the neat sum OK
81, ,7s2. 600. The Importance of the deal can
readily be seen, yet it's real import is
not easily grasped. 1t means what might
be termed the beginning OF a mining era
involving as much, If not more, than the
average prosperous and uninvestiga ca
life insurance company.
No more sincere testimony could te
given TO the world tending to establish
the permanency and true worth OF ths
small and heretofore rather dimly con-
sidered Nevada copper camp than such a
deal for practically half of one property
involving as many millions as the camp
is months old 1t also shows TO what
extent competing companies are willing
to go for the purpose of keeping their
prestige constantly smooth and with a
shining surface.
Recently George Gum, prominent ana
well known as the Guggenheim expert,
gave the Nevada Consolidated properties
a most thorough and exhaustive examina-
ton. This was known at the time, al
though what might be the outcome OF
his activity was matter of conjecture
and 1t is generally conceded by those VINO
