AN EXPERIMENTAL FARM.
H. W. Campbell Offered Land Near
Eminence to Work With.

Cimarron. Sept 1S.-Early in the
summer Professor H. W. Campbell,
the father of the dry farming system
that bears his name, made a PROPOSE
/ ton to Gray county to allow him
/ three quarters of land for expert
mental purposes for five years time.
| His plan was to Try the system in this
part of the state and determine its
practicabiltty and his proposition was
such that he would be out his time
and expense if the experiment failed
and if il was a success, he would be
rewarded with the land. In considera-
ton of the fact that the success of the
experiment would greatly increase the
value of other lands in the county
this offer was considered quite liberal
but for some reason il was not taken
up by Gray county.
After the rejection OF the offer by
Gray county. J. W. KilIion of Emil
hence offered to give quarter and to
secure two other quarters for this ex-
pertinent on the same terms that
Prof. Campbell had made to GRAY
county. This offer was sent to Prof.
Campbell who was at the time lectur-
ing and visiting various places in the
interest of his work He returned this
week to his home in Lincoln. Neb.,
and in a letter written in answer to
the one containing the offer. he says
he thinks the arrangements can be
made If he can secure the right party
to go on the land.
Continuing the letter says:

that have suddenly come into promf-

RAILROAD NEWS.
An Increase in Pay Granted to
Santa Fe Apprentices.
1t Was Purely Voluntary on
Part of the Company.
TWO CENTS AN HOUR.
Will Add 81 900 a Month to
Topeka Pay Roll.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

A voluntary increase in wages Of two
| cents per hour has been granted to all
apprentices employed in the shops
along the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
F'e lines
With this increase the pay of the ap-
prentices in the shops will be from
s1.2o to s1.95 per day of ten hours, which
will make a great increase in the mon
ey paid them along the system. The
apprentices employed in the local shops
at the present time number 155. which
will be an increase of about 81, 900 to
babIe that there are as many appren-
tices employed in the Topeka shops as
in all other shops along the system.
Being given this increase the pay of
the apprentices will be as follows:
First year. from 81 to $1-20 per day;
day; third year, from $3.50 to $1.70 per
day; and the fourth or last year, from
$1-75 to $1-95 per day. After completing
the four years apprenticeship the boys
are employed mechanics and receive
first-class pay which ranges from So to
So per day
The increase was given without the
solicitation of any of the apprentices.
No reason other than that has been
announced, but it is probably on &C.
count of the additional cost of living.
which has been increasing from time
to time. 1t has been difficult for some
of the boys to serve apprenticeship in
the shop heretofore on account of the
small wages which have been paid
them, but that obstacle seems to have
been overcome now.
The opportunity of serving an ap-
premiership ir the shops and to obtain
a good mechanical education seems at
tractive at the present time.

THE Value OF
AMERICAN COPPER

As recently as 1888, says the Cop
per Handbook, the 1906 edition of
which has just been issued by Horace
j. Stevens, of Houghton, Michigan,
the value of copper produced by the
mines of the United States was only
$33, S33, S54, and for 1904, only
two years ago, was but $105,629,-
S45, the year 1904 being the second
in the history of the country in which
the value of the copper output ex-
ceeded one hundred million dollars,
yet, at the present moment, the cop
per mines of the United States are
producing copper to the value of two
hundred millions of dollars yearly,
and the Lake Superior copper mines
alone are making copper worth
~$150,000 for every day in the year,
OF at the rate of more than a million
dollars weekly. So great has been
the growth of the industry, and so
rapid the increase in price of the
metal, that the production of three
counties of the single state of Michi-
gan is as great in value as the entire
copper production of the United
States as recently as 1S97-only nine
year ago-and double the value of
the United States in a year as com
paratively recent as 1889.
Figuring copper at an average
price, throughout the globe, of 20h
cents per pound, which Is a trifle be-
low the average quotations, the
mines of the world are making cop
per at the rate of exactly a mil
lion dollars per day, for every day
in the year, including Sundays and
holidays.
Compared with copper, the value
of the gold and silver production o.
the United States is as a minor frac.
ton, great as is the output of the
precios metals, and rapid as has beer
the increase in production of the
money metals by the mines of Ameri.
ca. Another fact Of deep interest ii
found in the surprisingly large per
centage of the gold and silver out
put Of the country that comes, al
a |by-product, from the copper mines
The vast and rapidly increasing value
of the Upper output of the United
States, which makes more than hal
of the copper produced in the world
is a most significant development.
