Coincident with the centennial ami.
versary Of the launching of Fulton's
steamboat Clermont is revived the
legend that the boiler OF the boat was
made from copper cents. The early
copper coins Of the country were. as
are the gold coins Of the present,
worth their face value as metal. 1t
frequently happened that the easiest
way. and not q costly way to get cop.
per for use in the arts. was to collect
the coins and melt them. There il no
record. SO far rs known. Of where
Fulton did get the copper for the
boiler. but when coin collector at.
tempted to secure a cent dated 1893
he discovered that cents of that date
were rare. and that It was not much
easier to find cent OF 1904. yet more
than 100000 cents were coined In 1904
and nearly million in. 1893.

ssuos ARE KING IN MONTE VISTA
Eiehty-three Dollars m Acre Average
Profit on San Luis Crop.

Eiehty-three Dollars m Acre Average
Profit on San Luis Crop.
Monte Vista, Colo.-Potato digging
In Just about finished here, and the
astounding number of SOC. 900 bushels
were raised this year in the territory
contiguous to Monte Vista. Two thirds
Of this enormous crop have already
been shipped TO Eastern and Southern
markets and the other third will be dis.
posed of within a week.
No trouble whatever has been expe-
rienced in finding a market for San
Luis valley "spuds," and in many sec
tions of the East and South they COM
mand a premium over the world-re-
nowned Greeley potato.
Five hundred thousand bushels is
100000 hundred weight, and, taking
present price OF 80 cents per hundred
weight as an average price, 1t is read
fly seen that the crop Is worth $240,-
600.
Nearly s25o.O0O has been added to
the wealth Of the farmers around
Monte vista from the sale Of this. MI
nor crop; for, Notwithstanding Its gi-
gantic proportions. this must be con-
sidered a minor crop in view OF Its
small acreage. as only about 1000 OF
the 100000 acres of farmable land
within twelve miles OF Monte Vista
Vista were planted In potatoes this
year.
One need not be a dreamer" to see
that the San Luis valley has latent pos
sibilities which. II properly developed,
would make 1t a potato-raising territory
unsurpassed in the world.
AS to the profits realized this year. 1t
is seen from the above figures that the
average gross income from an acre OF
potatoes is $120. The average expense,
assuming that farmer does not do any
Of the work himself. but hires 1t all
done, has been calculated to be $37 per
acre; thus 1t is seen that the average
profit, clear OF all expenses. to the San
Luis valley potato raiser for the year
Of 1907 Is $50 per acre. The original
cost of this land Is but $50 to $50 per
acre. Not much wonder that the land
investors are arriving in Monte Vista
by the hundreds. Land like this will
not be on the market for an average OF
$45 per acre much longer.
A few representative crops are given
below:
George Cole has the largest yield per
acre yet reported: on Of four acres
he raised 1896 bushels, or 574 bushels
per acre. which. when sold. netted him
a profit OF about $3.50 per acre.
e. c. Wright had in seventy acres.
which netted him a profit Of $125 an
acre, clear of all expenses. And this
on land which he paid $50 an acre for
about a year ago.
Zinser brothers had in 1870 acres.
which yielded $4,000 bushels. or $50
bushels per acre. which netted them a
clear profit Of nearly 500 per acre.
]. s. Campbell sold $2.465 worth of
Of an eighteen-acre field.
Tom Johnson raised 1000 bushels on
a tour-and-a-half-acre patch. These.
when sold. brought $716. or $l59 per
acre gross.

MARINE

The o. 5. 5. Alameda, some hours
late, arrived from the Coast Yesterday
afternoon, docking at half past four at
the Oceanic dock. She carried very
small list of passengers. nineteen only
in the cabin and about fifty in the
steerage, these latter being practically
all returning Portuguese who had failed
10 find their fortunes in California and
vino are glad to return to Hawaii. Mail
TO the amount of 1877 sacks. represent
ing the accumulation of four DAYS, was
delivered and 1887 tons of freight are
now being discharged. A part of this
freight is lumber.
The delay IN the arrival of the liner
is due to the fact that she was held
for two hours past her sailing time in
san Francisco, waiting for the mails,
and this was added to by running into
heavy head seas the first day out. At
ter this first day. however, the seas
were smooth and the voyage generally
was good one.
The Alameda is to make one more
trip to Honolulu before being laid up
Tor repairs, when her run will be taken
temporarily by the Sierra. Aboard the
Alameda the officers do not know
whether they are to be laid up with
their vessel or transferred for the runs
TO the Sierra.
The affairs of the Oceanic are as
much puzzle to these officers as they
are to most others. Recently the super
intendent of the company, Captain
Howard, handed in his resignation, but
no one has been appointed to succeed
him and his probable successor is not
known. Of the plans of the company
TO resume their service to the Colonies
IN the very near future, as reported in
the latest Coast files, the officers pro-
fess to know nothing On this trip
of the Alameda the place Of Chief Of
icer Drewsen, who has been on the run
for long while, is filed by J. D. Daw-
son, who has been promoted to the
position permanentlv.
