The San Francisco call., 1906-08-24

Owing to the late arrival of of the boats
there was temporary scarcity Of river Pota-
toes yesterday. but there was no attempt to
raise prices, all receivers being OF the opinion
that market conditions would not justify ad-
vance at present. Sweets were easier and Onions
remained weak. with handlers making eonces-
sions to large buyers.
There was not scarce article on the list of
vegetables and the market was weak all
around. with prices tending downward. The
feature of the day a slump in Tomatoes
due to the arrival Of large quantities of canning
stock from across the bay. Low prices for To-
matoes can be expected for some time, as the
crops across the bay are rapidly maturing and
the Gamers are too busy with tree fruits to pay
any attention TO them.

More Forest Rangers.


Before July l." said Chief Forester
Clifford Pinchot in Washington recently,
II expect to have / 900 rangers at work
in the government forest reserves.
There are nearly 700 rangers employed
at present, and think the number can
soon be increased, owing to the rapidity
with which money is accruing in the
treasury through the grazing regulations
that were recently imposed stockmen
are paying in money at the rate of al
most $500 900 day for the privilege of
grazing their herds in forest reserva-
tions"
Forester Pinchot then went on to say
that he would soon announce an exam
ination of candidates for the position OF
forest reserve ranger, and said that the
larger the number that would apply the
better it would please him. The duties
of forest ranger are to look out for forest
fires and see that timber is not cut or
taken away. A ranger draws a salary of
S75 per month to begin, and furnishes
his own outfit.
"Wil these men be required to know
something about the high art of forest.
ry?" was asked.
NO." said Mr.. Pinchot. I would
rather man would know the art OF
saddling a pack animal aud maintaining
himself in the mountains than anything

The Mining Outlook.

There is more interest manifested
in the mining industry of the Black
Hills at the present time, says the Ra-
pd City Journal, than at any time since
the hurrah days of 1876 and 1877. From
every mining district come reports of a
revival of prospecting and developing
work, while the bullion producing mines
are yielding more heavily than ever he
fore The gold and silver mines of the
Central Hills are being developed and
in a number Of promising locations the
veins are showing up most promising
and few of these mines in this section
are having milling plants placed upon
them to treat the large ore bodies ex-
posed
The copper mines are receiving a
great deal more attention at the hands
of the owners of the locations and some
of them are showing up large bodies Of
ore of high grade, which will certainly
be worked on the completion of the
Missouri River and Northwestern Rail-
road now nearing completion between
this city and Mystic, and these ore bod
les will furnish ores to be used for fiux.
ing as soon as the large smelter in this
city resumes operation.
Mining is becoming legitimate busi-
ness, and people realize more fully than
ever before that in order to pay it must
be conducted on business principles.
The day when mere hole in the ground
could be sold for large amount of
money has gone by. Developed mines
showing merit can be sold at good fig
ures, and there is little danger of Wild
cat mining schemes catching the unwary
dollar and thus shaking the confidence
in the country. The men who are do
ing work of development on the mines
of the more remote districts are doing it
quietly, and no longer attempt to create
an excitement upon striking free gold
specimen. They realize what is neces-
sary in order to secure a good price for
a mine, and they are placing numbe I
of locations in such condition as to in
sure good prices
The country is recovering from the
hard blows received in the failure OF
many wildcat mining schemes, aud con
fdence is being restored. The Black
Hills is just now entering upon an era
of prosperity in which its mining inter
ests will be Of greater importance to it
| than ever before, and with the building
of the railroads into this section during
the present year men of means residing
| in the east will make an investigation
of the resources of this section, because
it is plain that there must be some large
inducement to cause the building ol
two trunk lines to this section from the
| Missouri River. The fact of the build
| ing of these railroads will cause an ex'
tended investigation of the mineral re-
sources of the Black Hills with good
results

Commenting on the new primary law,
the Buffalo Gap Republican says 1t is
quite complicated aud will require care
fnl study of the voters to understand its
workings. In some counties the law in
pamphlet form has been secured and
distributed quite generally so that when
it comes time to hold the township or
precinct primaries its methods will be
pretty generally understood. AS to this
county we are unable to say whether
anything along that line has been done
or not, if not it should be attended to at
once. The republicans in several conn
ties have already held meetings OF the
central committees, and the law thor
onghly gone over so as to become fam
iliar with it. Unless something of this
kind il done, serious mistakes arc Liable
