Names That Are Suggestive.

When the Seattle high school base
ball nine was in Washington recently
it had as one of its players young
man named Ten Million.
Civil Service Commissioner Greene,
in commenting on the unusual appella-
ton, recalled an instance of queer
cognomen that had come under his
observation, somewhat in the same
class with D-Cady Herrick, unsuccess-
full candidate for the goyernorship of
New York against the late Gov. Hig-
gins, and w. j. MCGEE of the Smith
sonian institution. But while in the
case of these gentlemen the initials
are not really such since they begin
no word and are Authorizations for
nothing whatever, in the instance cited
by Commissioner Greene the initial
had meaning, making the whole
name a parental admonition.
Il remember that years ago | knew
a good woman who followed what
used to be the humble occupation OF

wise saws and modern instances, and

dened with name which never let
him forget his duty to the business

Total ..s17,So5,6s2 s16,971,3s7

OF the total production, 2,S10, 647
pounds of blister were produced in
Canadian smelters from ore and
matte exported from the United
States. In addition to this total, 81
543,116 pounds were produced as
blister in domestic smelters from for
eign ores, concentrates and matte.
This foreign material came principal
ly from Mexico and Canada, but Gu
ba, Germany and Bolivia and other
South American countries were con-
tributors, and a noteworthy quantity
was recovered from Spanish pyrite
cinderS.
The bulk of the copper of domestic
origin turned out by the smelters in
1906 was derived from approximate
ly 900 tons of ore. This ton
mage represents the quantity of ore
which reached the copper smelters
during the year, either directly in
smelling ore, or indirectly--for ex-
ample. in the form of concentrates
and it includes a considerable guam

FOR A TART DESSERT.
Lemon Custard Is Most Welcome
Summer Dish.

A tart dessert is most welcome in
summer. Try this lemon custard,
which is precisely like the filling used
for pie, but much more tasty without
the crust: Three cups of water,
brought to boil and thickened with
three tablespoons of corn starch
rubbed smooth in cold water. Sweeten
with two small cups of granulated
sugar, bring to a boil again and add
two tablespoons of butter, the grated
rind of two lemons and the juice,
strained clear, of three. Cook for a
few minutes. Add three eggs beaten
very light pour into a pudding mold
and bake until set, about 20 minutes.
If you prefer, mix with the yolks of
eggs only with boiling water, and re-
serve the whites for meringue, beat
ing them stiff with three tablespoons
of powdered sugar and allowing the
meringue to bake to golden brown.

TO MAKE BAKED CUSTARDS.
Dish That Should Be Prepared Early
In the Morning.

Early in the morning make small,
individual baked custards, as follows:
Bring a quart of milk to boil to in
sure sweetness in your custares. Beat
five eggs to a froth, white and yolks
separately. If you like the custard
sweet, allow scant tablespoon OF
granulated sugar for each egg and
beat this firmly into the yolks. Add
to the boiled milk scant teaspoonful
of melted butter and dash of salt.
Pour the hot milk over the yolks OF
the eggs. beat in the whites lightly,
add a teaspoonful of vanilla, pour into
custard cups and bake 20 or 30 min
utes, set in pan of boiling water. At
dinner time they should be very cold.
Run smooth knife around the inside
of each cup and the custard can be
turned out in firm, even shape. Have
ready sweet jelly which you have
melted over the fire, or else some
fresh fruit juice strained and favored.
Pour this over the custard molds as
a sauce and serve cold.

IMPORTANT RULING IN
MINES BY COMMISSIONER

BY a decision handed down by Reg
lister Frank d. Miracle and Receiver
George o. Freeman of the Helena
land office and affirmed by the COM
missioner at Washington, an import
ant rule has been established which
brings the land office more in accord
with the rulings of the western
courts.
Heretofore in cases of controversy
the mining locator has been obliged
to show that his property has min
eral in paying quantities as a pres
ent fact" Thus it was necessary for
a mineral claimant to possess a pay
ing mine in order to establish his
right.
The decisions of the western courts
have followed the rule thar where a
showing is made that mineral act
ually exists in sufficient quantity and
value to justify reasonably ~ udent
person in cxpending time and money
in exploring and developing it. then
the claim is valid. The new rut af-
firms this view, but adds the 1uali'i'
cation that the prospect0r be actually
working his ground and showing his
confidence in it by expanding his time
and money in development wofk. The
decision was rendered January by
the Helena Office. TIE commissions
er's letter affirming il was received
about December s. The rule was es-
tablished in the Case of the Noble
Gold Mines, limited, VS.. John +
Smith, involving two mining claims
belonging to plaintiff situated within
the limits of defeldnt's Homestead
entry, the decision being in favor OF
plaintiffs.

produced without the mining of any
ore by the treatment of mine waters,
and included with the concentrating

teaching processes In both cases the
copper was recovered from solution
by replacement of scrap iron, and the
resulting "precipitate, or cement
copper, which may be regarded as a
high grade concentrate, went into the
smelters.
OF the 917, S05,6S2 pounds of cop
per produced in 1906 by the smelters,
Is, 132,562 pounds were derived
from the re-treatment of materials
which had been subjected to reduc-
ton in previous years-namely, old
slags, tailings, furnace Innings, and
the cleanings from old smelter sites.
A great part of this material was
slags and tailings, being consequently
of low grade and profitable to treat
only because of metallurgical adj
vances.
The foreign ores imported for
smelling in this country were, con-
sidering the more costly transporta-
ton, necessarily of higher grade than
the average domestic ores.
The statistics of mine and smelter
production given the foregoing para
graphs are those published by the
United States geological survey in an
advance chapter from Mineral Re-
sources of the United States, calen-
dar year 1906" which will be ready
for distribution before the close of
the year. The figures showing mine
production, collected by field agents
of the survey, are based on reports
from all mining companies known to
have produced copper in 1906, with
the exception of companies in Massa
chusetts, Missouri and Texas, where
systematic inquiry has not yet been
made. The figures showing smelter
production are based on returns made
confidently to the survey by every
smelling company which handled
United States ores, concentrates or
MATES The figures here given are
the result of a revision of those pub
lished in July, which were too low,
owing to an error in those for Mon
tana. The correction of this error
does not divulge the production of
any single company or plant.
The collection of copper statistics
for the geological survey has until re-
Gently been in the hands of Charles
Kirchhoff of New York, but in 1906,
owing TO pressure of other business,
Mr. Kirchhoff relinquished the work
and it was assigned to l.. c. Grafton,
one of the biologists of the survey,
who is the author of the present re-
port.

Copper mines in general do not
fall in the class of poor men S
Mines Ordinarily the ore is not
lamenable to any simple method of re-
duction and is of so low grade as
to preclude very long hauls to exist
ing reduction plants. Much money
must be spent in extensive develop
ment of the ore bodies. The COM
pany must usually expect to build
it's own smelter or mill and to OPP
crate on q large scale to achieve low
cost of extraction. In consequence
of these conditions, most of the im-
portant copper mines of the United
States are in the hands of strong
companies able to advance the CAPT
tai required at the start. Fully 720,-
100000 pounds of the 1906 output
was produced by four operators. OPP
erations at the principal mines are
on a truly enormous scale, with ore
mineds and copper produced by indi-
vidual mining units reaching 2,O0O,-
900 tons and 100, 100000 pounds re-
spcctively, with single milling plants
of a daily capacity up to 5000 tons,
and with smelling plants turning out
annually 90,000,000 to 175, 100000
pounds of copper each. To the mag
nitude of these operations almost as
much as to the abundance of her
natural resources does this country
owe it's pre-eminence as copper pro-
Queer, with a record of over half the
worlds production.
The production of copper in the
United States in 1906 was 917, S05,-
1852 pounds. This represents the
years smelter production-that is,
the quality of fine copper in the bis
ter copper produced during the year
and the production of refined Lake
copper. The production of 1905 was
exceeded by 15,S97,S39 pounds, and
the apparent rate of increase in 1906
was accordingly 1.76 per cent. This
| is an abnormally low increase; the
gain in 1906 over 1904 having been
II per cent, and in 1904 over 1903
nearly $40 per cent.
The mine production for 1906 was
916,974,3S7 pounds. Statistics from
the mines were not collected for all
districts, in 1905, and complete fig
ures for comparison of the outputs of
the two years can not therefore be
given. 1t may be stated, however,
that the mine production of 1906 ex-
ceeded that of 1905 by a somewhat
| larger amount than the gain IN smell
ter production. In other words, the
smelters did not wholly keep up with
the output from the mines.
The following table shows the pro-
duction of mines and smelters appor-
| toned to the states from which the
copper was originally derived. The
