 The Balaklala smelteh has closed down and about sixty men have been trown out of employment
 Tt is reported that a Boston com pany headed by Thos. w. Lawson has secured a controlling interest in the property and will probably consoli- date the Balaklala and Trinity prop critics.
 "The Shasta King. the leading prop erty of the Trinity Copper Go. has dumped a large tonnage of ore on the Balaklala bunkers while very little has been shipped to the shelter by the Balaklala itself.
 Tt is further stated that A. H. Brown oF the Trinity will direct fl- ture operations of the Balaklala mine"
 Tn view oI Ile developments during the past week, these statements are
 
 bear out the statements above.
 It is interesting in this connection, and in connection with the possibility of Lawson taking prominent part in the company's affairs from now on to refer back to a despatch from Cal i7ornia printed in these columns on October 10 of this year.
 Large local stockholding interests in the Balaklala have given their ap- proval to the proposed reorganization plan whica practically involves an as. sessment of two dollars a share on the capital stock of the company now outstanding, Amounting to about 525, 900 shares.
 The Coram interests here hold about 6O,0O0 shares and some of the 6 per cent bonds and while Mir. Co ram is too busy himself to take al active part in perfecting the plan, il has his sanction.
 Together with the Pittsburg and | Salt Lake interests who originally owned the Balaklala mine, Mir. Co ram owns the major portion of the Balaklala Consolidated 6 per cent | bonds on which it has been erroneous | ly rumored interest would be de | faulted, allowing the mortgage on thu property to be foreclosed. It is authoritatively stated that the interest on these bonds will be paf( when due.
 Another considerable stockioldins interest in this city is T. W. Lawson and the Street has been rather anx | iously waiting to see what move h. would make. It is understood tha Mir. Lawson has about 20,0O0 share of Balaklala which average him abou | S10 a share.
 He has made no independent nov, antagonistic to the proposed reor ganization and is understood to hay, given the plan his approval.
 The affairs of the Balaklala ar closely involved with the Trinity min | through a contract for smelling tn, latter's ores and for this reason i 1 had been intimated that Lawson wa making an attempt to control tn i Balaklala and consolidate it with tn | Trinity. N
 The Balaklala property is consid l cred one of the best on the Shast county copper zone on which are lC cated the Mountain Copper Co. (al English concern) the Mammoth min and smelter (owned by the U. s Smelling Col, the Trinity, the Bull

ALASKA HUSTLER.

The announcement that William Ogilyie, the well known Yukon ex- plorer, is backing the newly organ ized Yukon Basin Gold Dredging com pany, recalls the story of an inter esting and distinguished career. For twenty years past Mir. Oyilvie has
 been a dominant figure in the explor- ation and development of the British Northwest. He penetrated the will derness even earlier than the time of the Klondike discoveries, and lat CT made surveys on Bonanza and FL dorado creeks. His work as internat- ional boundary commissioner in asso- ciation with Dr. c. M. Dawson of the Canadian Geological survey won Tor him eminent distinction. Some of Governor Ogilvie's most extensive and important explorations were along the Stewart river and its trib- utaries, where high values were dis covered in the auriferous sand bars and placer fields. Governor Ogilvie is enthusiastic as to the possibilities for the exploitation of these placers on a large scale, and the Canadian government Is also actively co-operat. ing with him in his new enterprise.

SILVER WAVE,

A core of silver-lead ore eight to ten inches in width and contained in shoot of several feet in width is stated to be the latest strike opened up on the Silver Wave property near Mcntezuma, Col. Tn ecore is of both milling and smelting grades, the values running up into the hundreds of dollars to the ton. The strike was made in the fifth level of the mine. and ore on this level has now been exposed continuously for 210 feet, with notable increase in quality for the last ten feet. At the Moscow property on Glacier mountain the work of cleaning up the tunnel is making rapid progress.

McKINlEY.

The Mckinley Gold Company, oper- ating on Jupiter Mountain in the Boise Basin, has laid its plans for active development work throughout the winter. Contractor Holloway, who has undertaken the driving of the main tunnel bore, reports pro- gress so far considerably in excess of the speed called for in the con tract. Besides work on the tunnel, the contractor has also placed the whole camp in excellent condition. A large boarding house and bunk houses have been constructed, the boiler has been housed in andf covered with as bestos, roadway has been completed. wood has been hauled and stacked, Bell phone has been installed and a high pressure water system put in operation. Rapid progress at this camp is anticipated from now on.

Net earning yrs S3,96S,000 It is very apparent, therefore, that the Old Dominion company has earn ed an average Of $2.5O per share on its stock annually during the 51k years which it has been under the control of Chas. s. Smith and Phelps, Dodge & Co. It has accomplished this in spite of the fact that the at tention of the management has been centered on the work of construction and development, rather than upon an efforts t0 produce copper at a low cost and earn dividends. The com pany has had a gross income, aside from the net earnings Of it's mine and custom smelling operations, Of about $970,0 900. As the aggregate of divi- dends paid and cash and quick as- sets is about S250,000 more than the outside income mentioned, it must be recognized that it's reduction plant, railroad, shafts, etc, have all been paid for out of the mine in net earn ings, or profits in excess of current operating expens
 During the 51z years which the company has been under it's present management, the price of copper has been about as Follows: 12 cents, 131s cents, 13 cents, 15A cents and IS cents per pound, respectively. If it were possible to state exactly how much copper has come from the com pany's mines during this period and to put the apparent net earnings against it, it would undoubtedly be found that Old Dominion is not higa cost producer.
 It's operations have been interrupt ed very seriously on two or three oc- casions. The mine has been flooded twice, in 1902 and 1905; and the tim bers in it's old working shaft were burned so badly that 1t caved in In 1902. and never has been reopened. In connection with the expense of handling the fire and floods new pumping machinery had to be in stalled of sufficient capacity to take care of almost any flow of water that could possibly occur. IL is to avoid a possible repetition of tae flood. pro vide ventilation and to make possible continuous and larger production that the two new shafts are being sunk

Selecting Dry Climate Corn.

1t takes years of time and careful Sc
lection to overcome the inherited ten
denotes peculiar to corn and to accli-
mate any given variety to this dry
country. Many samples of gold brick
corn are offered every spring to plant
ers, which are so carefully graded that
the kernels are almost perfect in ap-
pearance. The prices quoted is almost
as attractive as the corn, because it is
taken from the crib and is bought at
market value for such stock. We can
not afford to buy it for its good looks
or to save money, because 1t will
surely disappoint the grower. Still we
will never find the ideal variety until
we have tried all of them and this re-
quires several years of experimental
ton for each and this explains why
we have made SO little progress in corn
culture. The agricultural college might
have helped us iu this matter, but in
this, as in many other matters, it SIM
ply fell down.

PerlIs Of chloroform.

At the recent meeting of the British
scientists at Leicester, DIR. Waller laid
before the physiological section some
facts to show the perils of chloroform.
The list of deaths In the past SO years
due to this cause is incomplete and
yet was unable to give percentages
in comparison with the total number
OF operations. but he held that the
danger is still great, and that sur
geons are remarkably ignorant as to
the quantity required to produce the
desired physiological effect, and are
unable to guard with confidence
against heart failure. 1t may be noted.

can. that much is expected of the new

what is claimed for it, be a safeguard
against the pneumonia that some.
times follows the use of ianaesthetics

But In spite OF the peril of chloroform
its blessings to the human race can
hardly be exaggerated.

Requirements Of Winter Wheat.

Winter wheat requires a firm soll
into which to send its rootlets and
plowing in this dry climate should not
precede seeding by too short an inter-
val. The soil should of course have
time to settle before seeding. Heavy
rain settle the soil, but since dry
weather prevails in early autumn there
is danger that the plowed soil will not
thoroughly settle. When wheat or
other fall crops are to follow one which
is harvested in early or middle summer
and the ground is to be plowed for the
wheat, it should be done as soon after
harvest as the condition of the farm
work will permit. The ground should
then be smoothed with a harrow to re-
duce evaporation of the soil moisture.

When to Cut CABBAGE.

Market cabbage should be cut when
the heads are hard and solid. Never
ship loose or soft heads. When cab
bage is soft 1t is sign that it is still
growing and not matured. Cabbage left
too long in the field will burst open and
go to seed. During harvest time OF
cabbage the field should be gone over
every day. Celery should only be
shipped when thoroughly bleached 10

comparatively easy to pick at the right
time as the dark purple color denotes
ripeness and egg plants continue in
good shipping order for several days.

HILBERT, COLORADO.
rh. New.F.shIened country cIrI.

Amid all the pleasurable recollec-
lions of the summer possessed by the
crowds of city dwellers herding back
to town. It is safe to hazard there is
not one distinct impression OF that
one-time dominant figure on the coun-
try landscape-the old-fashioned, un-
sophisticated. brown-cheeked girl, with
"the rustic, woodland air" OF poetry.
In her place in memory and on the
films that the amateur will develop
later is another creature, to whom
rusticlty is matter of psychological
analysis and unsophistication socio-
logical problem. AS the modern coun-
try girl is so often a product OF high
er education, remarks the Troy
Times, new value has been given to
rural life. To her not only nature in
her infinity but even "the meanest
flower that blows" can give not only
thoughts that lie too deep for tears,
but can also afford opportunity for the
profoundest use of knowledge of
botany. The physiological value Of
sunburn she understands and will ex-
pound; the chemical constituents of
air that's fresh she knows by rote. To
her the earth is no more a mere
stretch OF landscape to be admired
but soil and subsoil to be fed as per
the formula which she can and prob
ably will convey to you in no mistak-
able terms, and out OF which comes a
rotation of crops the food values of
all of which she knows. She may be
discovered coming Through the rye.'
but it's no hazard to affirm that her
interest meantime is in the quality of
the grain. and any possibility of an
amorous meeting midway is farthest
from her mind and mood. The ro-
mancers and the poets still deftly
evolve the rustic maiden uEsophisti-
cate. but the maid herself we now
seek in vain.
