BROOKS CONSOLIDATED
Excellent Indications at the Property EIate BiSbee
 Stockholders.
SHOWING COMPARES
 WITH COPPER QUEEN

Favorable reports continue to come from the Brooks Consolidated. a min ing property owned by Bisbee people. in Sonora. near Csnanea. They are busy driving the tunnel that Is to reach the ore contact. and expect that only one hundred feet more will Dc necessary to bring that about. A few days ago workmen in the tunnel encountered strong copper stains of most favorable character in the gran ite. Local stockholders are much elated over developments, and are san guiDe that they will soon make a pay Ing mine of the Brooks Con. The mine Is situated In a highly mineral ized belt. and was pronounced by a prominent mining man, thoroughly familiar with the conditions here abouts. to show better surface indi- cations of a great mine than any he had ever examined. The show :ng is probably equal to that of the Copper Queen or that at Cananea.

The statements which the Butte Mining companies have filed wlIa the tax authorities of that city covering the year ended June l. do nOI state the amount of copper produced. The tons of ore are given, the gross value per ton, together with the gross net proceeds. but no reference is made to the actual output in pounds Of copper and this must be approXimated. The figures covering the operations or the Butte Coalition Co, or, more properly speaking, the Red Metal Mining Co.,. as this Is the operating company, are for four months beginning with Feb 1, and ending with May 31. During these four months price of electfplyt' ic copper averaged Is cents, and by , dividing this figure into the gross re Ceipts of $l,929, ,56S, Qess $100,00O to cover receipts from siiver), We find that the output of copper for these four months was 10.160,000 pounds, or at the rate of little over 30,000,OOt bounds per annum. With the one ex ception of North Butte. the ores of the Red Metal Mining Co. averaSed h gh CT than any other mine in tue Butte camp, at s12.9i per ton.
 The Butte Coalition %. was i..cor porated Feb 24, 1906. Plans are teins
 made for a very large expansion tf th' l company's output, which plans nay | for the time being somewhat curtai the current output. We understand ! for instance that the Minnie Healy
 shaft Is to be immediately put intt
 shape for an enlarged outpuT.
 The Butte Coalition Co. has 1000,
 900 shares. According to a directo l there is no basis for the current ru
 nlors of an early dividend.

NORTH BUTTE.
A Cost Of 7.7 certs per Pound.

The statement of the North Butte G, as filed in Montana for twelve months ending June l, settles tho dis puted question of the compary'S cost per pound of copper This cost. ex- clGding the $1.164.00O of improvements charged to operating expenses, was as follows:
 Cost of mining ..,. ..... 7l, ,lGD.t66 Freight ..... ..... 52,O17 Cost of reduction =. =. ...-l .255. 5
 JOln ..-..s Z,toc'o''o
 As the recently issued annual .cDort of the North Butte Go. for the year ended March 3f placed tae output O: the company at 30,954,ISs pounds, for the year ended June 1 the output rus. easily have been q, ,000. 900 pounds. as it has not been until recently that the company has shown it's largest pro ssuction
 The above cost, divided by 32.000 000 rounds, gives a cost per pound cf copper of - cents. which figure, We understand. has recently been reduced 10 slightly over cents per pound.
 The company's ores average S2l.fi per ton. by far the richest ore r.iDed in the Butte camp.

SPECIAL COUNSEL ENGAGED.
Preparing for the Investigation OF
Railway Monopoly.

The interstate commerce commission has
taken preliminary steps toward compliance
with the Tillman-Gillespie resolution
adopted by Congress directing the commits
sion TO make an inquiry into alleged re
straints of certain rail- Dads in the handling
of coal and oil. The first step taken was
the selection OF special counsel in the In
vestigations The commission has an
nounced that Edward B. Whitney Of New
York and William A. Glasgow, jr., of Phila-
delphia have been retained as such counsel!
Just how long it will take to finish the IN
vestigation and to obtain all the facts called
for by the resolution is problematcal.
Mr. Whitney is a Yale graduate and
cIassmate Of Secretary Taft and has been
a member of the New York state bar since
1880 He was assistant attorney general to
the United States under Attorney Generals
OIney Harmon and Mckenna from 1893 to
1897.
Mr. Glasgow was educated a the Wash
ington and Lee University of Virginia. and
was admitted 81 the bar in 1886. going to
Philadelphia in 1904 from Roanoke, Va. He
was counsel for the commission in cases
in the Supreme Court.

Sanitary Construction.

From American Homes and Gardens.
Sanitary construction IS the basis on
which all good construction rests. The
house must be built with due regard 10
sanitary requirements and conditions or IL
VIII be completely unit for occupancy.
Some conditions TO building are so essential
IS 10 be automatic. Thus brick though
unayOidably porous, should be as free from
porosty as possible; the wood should be
well seasoned and sound: the plaster and
wall coverings should be impermeabIe
Even quite modest house building is an
expensive undertaking, and the best posi-
BE materials should always be used. These
not only have greater durability than ma
teIlals Of lesser grade, but their superior
properties render the dwelling much more
fit for habtatiop. There is no greater
CRIME In building than to build cheap"
The great problem of sanitary construc-
tion is the exclusion of damp. 1t is the
most serious natural force the house builder
has TO contend against because ii is al
ways present Most of his materials are
POROUS. both brick and stone, and many
woods, and he cannot build well unless ne

Feeding the Land.

From the Garden Magazine.
After the home resources in the enrich
ment of the soil have been exhausted II is
time to turn to commercial fertilizers to
supply deficiencies. I, Is a very simple
matter to spread around the tree each year
the contents of & few fertilizer bags. This
IS much easier than spreading several loads
o, manure or sowing and blowing under a
green manure crop. It takes less time and
less worry. Hence many people who own
few fruit trees come to rely upon com
mercial fertilizers alone, neglecting the
other sources Of fertility that have been
mentioned. This IS great mistake The
home fruit grower should use commercial
fertilizers to supplement-nOt to replace
t!Ilage, green menUres and barnyard ma
nures. Some fruit gardens like some
farms, are fertilizer sick. They have been
dosed with large quantities Of high-grade
fertilizers, but the humus content Of the
soil has not been kept up. If fertilizers
are used. and usually they must be let
them be in conjunction with manuring. The
purchaser OF commercial fertilizers is in
the way Of many pitfalls, for some fertiI-
izers. like breakfast foods, are not as
uOurishing as the advertisement suggests
and they are very frequently used without
definite knowledge of what the soil needs
or what they contain.
