z The outside investor, and more
OF him, is what the local brokers
must have If they want to do
business. They cannot make
money by selling stock to each
other any more than a man can
hoist himself by pulling on his own
bootstraps. The money to develop
new properties must either come
from the outside or out OF the
ground. Few prospects can fnrn-
ish their own working capital in
the latter way and therefore the
money must be got from non-resi-
dents. What steps are being taken
to get it? We might as well admit
that nothing is being done. Pagt
advertisements in papers Of purely
local circulation are about as likel,
to interest outsiders rs balloon
ascension in Wallace woodland

The Silver Eagle group consists Of
four claims, which are patented.
There are three tunnels aggregating
1000 feet on these claims. The low
err tunnel Is now in a distance OF
about 500 feet. The one above It.
which Is being used by the Lucky
Jim, shows about eight feet Of con-
centrating ore. This vein traverses
the Lucky Jim and the four claims OF
the Silver Eagle. The other owners
in the group besides Mrs. Jones are
John Sharpstein, a prominent attor-
ney, and VIM. Jones OF Walla Walla,
and r. A. Knapp OF Portland.

A great deal could be done by the
county authorities to aid mining
operators, hasten the development Of
various outlying sections and in

are not such already. The wagon

THE TAMARAcK MINE

It is an interesting story which
the Miner tells in this issue Of the
Tamarack mine and it is not with.
out an obvious moral-namely that
it takes both time and money, even
when backed by an experienced
and efficient management, to make
a mine out Of an exceptionally good
prospect.
We know that many investors
expect within few weeks OF
months Of their purchase Of some
five or 10 cent stock to be drawing
dividends and they sometimes
write very ugly and insulting letters
when they are not forthcoming,
though surely common sense would
have told them that the time re-
quired to bring that particular
property to producing basis had
fully as much to do with the low
price of its shares as the risk of
failure involved in the enterprise.
To all such we commend the
story OF the Tamarack mine. Here
was property which had developed
an important shoot Of shipping ore
over year ago and which even
progressed 40 far as to ship a con-
siderable quantity Of hand sorted
ore. Under these circumstances
there was some slight excuse in
looking for early dividends, but
note what happened.
The moment the control of the
property passed into the hands Of
an experienced mine manager,
shipments under the conditions
then existing were discontinued as
extravagant and all energies bent to
the task Of properly developing and
equipping the mine so that it could
be economically operated. 1t took
more than a year to do this and
some $35, 600, yet the time for
dividends has not arrived. There
is still a mill, tramway and
compressor to be built, which will
involve six months more time at
least and 500, 900 more money,
but the outcome will be a mine
capable Of economical operation
through a long term Of years with
dividend distributions monthly that
will insure value Of 81 or 50 a
share at least. Yet this stock was
begging at Is cents two years ago.

There has been a strong impress
sion in the minds Of both the
Spokane and Wallace people OF
late that all the failures to get
telephone connections with Spokane
were due to the local Office Of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
company. Bitter experience has
convinced the Miner that the fail
ure is just as frequently due to the
Spokane end Of the business. We
know one firm there, one Of the
leading brokers, whom we have
tried to reach repeatedly and vainly
for "a hours at a time, because the
bell of his instrument would not
ring, though he had reported it out
Of order for month.

A good safe rule for investors is
to multiply the price they are pay

(not necessarily the authorized
capital) and then ask themselves,
supposing they were millionaires,
if they would buy the whole prop

Buying Fertilizers.

Forehanded farmers and market
gardeners have already bought their
years supply of fertilizers. Any who
have not done SO should buy at once
AS soon as the plans for the years
work are fairly in hand, so that one
can estimate the amount of fertilizer
required, the order should be placed
There are good many advantages
in buying early. These advantages
are especially marked when one buys
raw chemicals and mixes his own
fertilizers. BY the way, this plan of
buying and mixing at home is now
well established in the best farm and
garden practice of the country. Any
man who pretends to keep his eyes
open and to know how to manage
agricultural affairs in the modern
way is certainly able to do his own
mixing; and the advantages of home
mixing of raw materials are very
great. The man who has not yet
adopted this practice had better look
A. up at once.-Country Gentleman.

ton of corn he sells $6.47 In fertil-
ity. If those products be fed on the
farm under proper conditions, and
the resulting manure be returned to
the soil, there is a very slight loss Of
fertility, for the following finished
products ma be sold instead:
In selling ton of finished beef on
the hoof, the farmer sells but $5.37
in fertility; in ton Of live hogs he
sells but s3.7v in fertility: in ton
of milk he sells but $1.48 in fertility;
in a ton of cheese he sells but sixty
nine cents in fertility, and in a ton
of butter he sells twenty-seven cents
in fertility. The best policy for the
family to adopt is that system of corn
and crop rotation which will embrace
not only the growing of grain. but the
breeding and feeding of stock, either
for sale in the form of beef or pork,
or for the production whather for
milk, cheese or butter. ~ Indiana

Milk Kept Seven Weeks.

A new process for keeping milk a
long time is announced by German
scientists. The milk is first treated
with peroxide of hydrogen, which
kills the germs, but imparts a pecul-
lar taste to the milk. Then to each
quart of milk is added a few drops of
the ferment obtained from beef liver
from which the beef has been ex-
pressed. This substance, it is
claimed, destroys the unpleasant
taste given to the milk by the per-
oxide of hydrogen. At first thought
this new plan does not seem to be
adopted on a large scale, and the
discoveries admit that it increases
the cost of the milk four or five
cents per quart, SO that it would not
be practical to use except where fresh
milk could not be obtained regularly.
1t is claimed that the milk so treated
was successfully kept for seven
weeks.-Boston Cultivator.

The Demand For Good Horses.

The increasing demand for good
draft horses has awakened fresh in
terest among breeders who have good
dams. The Drovers' Journal in re-
ferring to the increasing demands in
the Chicago markets says survey of
the horse conditions present an in
viting field for intelligent breeders.
Demand for all classes of horses for
industrial and commercial use was
never so broad or prices so remu-
nerative. The fact that farmers have
been slow to grasp the situation finds
the supply hardly adequate to meet
the increasing demand. The out
look justifies continued high prices
until the surplus assumes proper
lions to resume expectation of horses
in large volume again. The supply
can only be increased by charging
breeding operations, which, under
the most favorable regime, will re-
quire half decade to produce a
reasonably large surplus. The fact
should not lead to haphazard breed
ing. Profits in the horse industry
will depend on the quality of the
horses produced The best mares
should be selected for the harem and
the choicest stations of all breeds of
horses patronized. The stream can
not rise above the fountain and the
progeny of sire and dam will inherit
the characteristics of their ancestors.
The opportunity for large profits in
the horse industry was never more
promising to the careful breeder that
will produce good commercial Offer
ings of all classes.

How to Select Poultry.

In selecting poultry, the age of the
bird is the most important question.
In selecting a turkey, remember that
a young bird has smooth, shiny
black legs, while those of an old bird
are rough and reddish. If the bird
has been freshly killed, the eyes are
full and bright and the feet moist.
The combs and legs of a chicken
are smooth in young fowl and
rough in an old one.
When selecting geese, see that the
bills and feet are yellow and have
few hairs on them. If freshly killed
the feet should be pliable, for after
they have been killed some time they
are dry and smooth.
Ducks are chosen by their feet,
which should be supple. Wild ducks
have reddish feet, while those Of the
tame ducks are yellow. A fresh duck
should have plump, hard breast.
Tame pigeons are larger than wild
ones and the feet show the age OF
the bird. They are supple il the
bird is young, and stiff if it is old.
Pigeons are only good to eat when
they are fresh. When they have
been kept too long they become fab
by and discolored about the under
part.-F Florida Agriculturist.

Pastor a SteepIejack.

Church, created something Of sensa-
ton in the village by ascending the
outside of the steeple of his church
at point far above the belfry and
removing large accumulation of
honeycomb and its contents and driv-
ing out the bees. The bees were in
the habit of buzzing through the
church during services and annoying
the congregation.

Concrete in Farm Construction.

Among the uses for concrete emu
merated are foundations for houses,
barns and windmills, sidewalks, fence
posts, water troughs, cisterns, tanks,
and cesspools, floors for house and
stable, stairs, we'll curbs, stalls, hog
pens, chicken houses, corncribs, ice
houses, incubator cellars, mushroom
cellars, hotbed frames, bridge abut-
ments, chimneys, ventilators and
hitching posts. In estimating on cost
of concrete sufficient broken stone
should be provided to fill the whole
volume under estimate, since the ce-
ment and sand merely fill the voids
in the broken stone. BY a calcula-
ton of the cost of concrete posts it
is found that posts can be made for
fourteen cents each. This low cost
would be possible only when large
numbers Of posts are made.-The

BEANS AS FOOD.

Have Great value--WlII Figure more
as Meat Figures Less.
This country raised 5.064,S44 bush
els OF beans in 1900 and devoted 453,
867 acres to their cultivation. That
Is at the rate of little over clever
bushels to the acre, or little lesa
than the average yield for wheat the
country over. New York state raises
more beans than any other state ex.
cept Michigan, and California is third
in the list. Roughly speaking, New
York's beans belt is the western hall
of the state.
Here as in Michigan beans have
partly taken the place of wheat as a
staple crop. They have proved more
remunerative and they have had the
additional recommendation of improv
ing the fertility of the soil through
their ability to gather nitrogen from
the air. As a paper prepared by l.
c. Corbett for the Department Of
Agriculture remarks, it is the beams
peculiar distinction to provide food
for both man and soil. That makes ii
Invaluable in scheme Of crop rota
ton.
To the average American, beans
mean string or snap beans, plucked
when green from the small garden
or canned in their green state. Thus
produced they yield largely, as much
as 200 bushels to the acre, the price
ranging from 81 to SIS bushel, &C.
cording to the season and nearness to
market. Yet the bean means some
thing more. Certain varieties, like
the cowpea, are valuable for grain,
for hay, as good as alfalfa, and for
green manuring unsurpassed. The
kidney, the marrow bean and the pea
are prime, foods in their dry state.
Like other of the ancient crops of
mankind, the bean requires more hand
labor than the more recent food
staples. In the advance Of farm
science, however, satisfactory harvest
ers and thrashers have been devised.
AS an item of diet in this country
beans will figure more as meat figures
less, and the annual production is
sure to be much enlarged.-Roches.
