for measuring shucked corn 10
the crib: Measure IN feet the
length, breadth and depth OF
corn as il lies in the crib, multi
plying all these together and
dividing by two. The result, is
the number OF bushels OF shellcd
corn. Corn is expected to lose
one.dfth in weigh. by drying, so
that what was five bushels be.
comes four by weight. by the
way, this suggests that n man
ought to get considerably more
for his corn in spring than when
6rst gathered il it is sold by
weight, or be is going to &c, re-
ally less for il after carrying it
through the winter.
Different kinds Of hay vary 10
the way they pack and in the
amount OF space needed to store
a ton. Usually 500 feet Of pack.
ed clover or timothy will make a
ton. Fine new mown hay like
redtop or herds grass is likely
TO yield slightly over Il ton from
500 feet. while $50 feet OF new
mown timothy will make a ton,
$50 feet OF new mown clover,
and coarse meadow hay will
need at least 700 feet. After
being stored 20 days the bulk
decreases S to 10 per cent.

Answer by editor: AT best
arriving at the weight Of hay or
corn by measurement is only an
approximation, but is often re.
sorted TO. When corn has the
shucks on. it is still more diff.
cult TO give any rule that will be
a safe guide, though many claim
theirs is infallible. Consider
what a difference there is in the
amount Of shucks on corn. owing
to the variety grown, to the soil
and the seasons, and you can
see how difficult it il TO formu.
late a reliable rule for all cases.
1t is usually assumed that two
bushels OF huskcd corn in the
car will make one bushel of
shclled corn. but even here
there is much variation in diff
fcrcnt lots.
For an average there il no
better rule than the following

MARKET GOSSIP
CBy Frank J. Graf.l

 New York wires: The New York market was dull and featureless. There was no news of importance other than the rumor that a large block of copper metal was sold around Is cents, but the report lacked con firmation. Call money was easy but there was not much disposition on the part the trading element to com init themselves to very great extent on either side of the market The action of the Cananea directors is awaited with interest, but it Is fear ed that quorum will not be pres ent. It is not unlikely that the mar ket will remain dull fin the absence of important developments

GOLD BELT NOT
 SHUTTING DOWN
Is Simpy Filing Up Ore For Bet ter Prices Than Prevail
 At Present.
(Mofenci LeaderJ

The fact that the shipments of the Gold Belt have ceased temporarily is in no way occasioned by any effect that the drop of copper has he'd upon the property with the exception of the desire of the management to hold their ore on the dump until they can realize a better price for it. Work at the mine continues with even a great CT force than formerly and tbe ore is being held at the mine until such a time as 1t will pay the company to again resume shipping. The fact that the company has plenty of money in the treasury with which to continue their development makes it possible for them to fully ascertain the extent and condition Of their ore
 bodies. Aside from this the gold and silver values in their ore fully ~lr- want extensive development and gives this company the advantage of
 not having to rely on the copper, but as a gold proposition 1t has already
 proved to be a winner and there is al
 ready enough ore blocked out and on the dump to operate a large mill At l the 200 feet level the development
 work is most gratifying in its results | and as soon as the water at this point
 can be handled the vein will he fully l tested and prospected While the wa, ter in the shaft is causing soEse trou. ble at present it will be great ad- vantage in the operation of a mill
 and will save large expense, in over

DAILY MARKET SUM MARY.
Bisbee. Sept. 24. 1907

Bisbee, Sept 24, 1907.
 New York was dEll and featureless with a little scalping activity in the leaders. Boston opened weak and dullness prevailed throughout the ses sion. Amalgamated was heavily bought in New York and at times good buying in North Butte and Cop. per Range was seen. Rumors were widely circulated that 50,000 900 pounds of copper metal had been sold at 15 cents. but on inquiry among the trade it lacked confirmation. Action on Anaconda dividend is awaited with interest. Good opinion thinks divi- dend will be SIPS. We look for grad ual improvement in the copper stocks and believe purchases on recessions are in order. It is stated in Boston that Greene Cananea production will be cut in two until metal situation adjusts itself Quite a block of Greene Cananea changed hands at S9.50 with most offerings readily ab- sorbed. Superior 6 Pittsburg and Cal umet & Arizona are dull and steady. The Bisbee curb shares continue dull and narrow The market Is bare of bids today. consequently trading Is almost an impossibility Immediate ac- tivity seems remote. but we continue tc believe that they are selling round their lowest and anybody willing to wait will get good profits on pur. chases made around present prices.

xlTIHu xsEHirnn anr HHT MlNEk0 AHL IN FEAR OF
 ZIKC
Shelters Have To Extract It Alone Or Throw 1t Away And That Often Means Loss Of Gold.

The worst abused and east under stood mineral on earth Is zinc, says the Gobe Mascot Not a prospector or miner in the district that doesn't fear it worse than the plague And like the woman afraid of a man under her bed. they are always looking fo- zinc The first thing they do when they get their smelter assay certifi- cates is to scan the zinc column The silica and moisture columns attract no such concern, although really they are the most to be feared The smell ters used to charge for an excess of zinc of over per cent: now they only charge when it exceeds 12 per cent, which covers all the real dan ger But who has ever heard of them being any way lenient at all in silica and moisture, Indeed, moisture is the main thing upon which smelters hsetIieve their losses. They always charge them up to that, until the miner sigf1s and wonders how his ore came to be so wet.
 But in relation to zinc-and there's some zinc in the Globe district car. bonate and sulphide: Zinc mining is as good mining as there is in the world. as a main product All the trouble has come from trying to mint it as a by-product Find zinc ore gooc and big enough and it will pay. bu no matter how much gold and silver or lead there is in it, you must no try. to save anything but the zinc You must be contented with zin' alone. All other values have to b. thrown away. Trying to save then along with the zinc causes all th' trouble.
 Zinc is profitably mined at Han over, New Mexico, but only by losint $4 per ton in gold and silver in tn ore. No attempt is made to save any thing but the zinc. None dare b. made. The ores ar shipped to tn company's works at Mineral Point Wisconsin, and smelted. They con sist of sulphides and carbonates. Tn carbonates of zinc-the dry bone-i Ashe best and resembles, in everything except shape. perhaps, the giistenini and bleached bones of apimals.
 Some very good zinc ore has beer brought to the Mascot office from tn Globe district, and the presumption i fair that a profitable deposit or tw' of the mineral will yet be developei here.
