Later on tho apparently fore gone result of the presidential election removed hestancy, induced the placing of orders freely, and, perhaps, led to q greater growth of optimism than was really justified by tho improvement in actual trade, striking as 1t was, The rush upward of security and commOd- lty prices in the fall, a reflection of this optimism, had a slightly cooling effect upon those who believed that prosperity had returned In full tide, and the talk of tariff revision in the closing months undoubtedly made for a overwhelming of conservatism as to the future In addition the failure of stocks of gods to move at retail as freely as expected owing to mild weather, and the late opening of holl- day trade tended to curb the buoyant optimism so notable in the earlier au- tumn, when large crops bringing high prices were moving to market.
 Crops Show Slight Increase.
 Perhaps the most notable features brought out in the statistical exhibits In 1908 were the slightly Increased yields of most leading crops, which commanded hlgner prices at times of heavy marketing than in the preced- ing year of shorter yields, Exceptions to this were found in cotton and hay, where lower prices offset enlarged yields Cereal prices were aided by exhaustion of old supplies, European war talk and a strong bull specula- tive movement. Farm values as a whole were the largest ever recorded, but low prices for cotton, due to im- mense movement an da strike in Lam cashre, were drawback to southern trade In the autumn,

ELKHART MINES IN
 MoHAvE COUNTY SOLD
 TO BOSTON CAPITALISTS

KINGMAN, June 2.--Yesterday the Miner received telegram from II. M. Bowen, dated at Los Angeles, contain. ing the information that Thursday last deal was closed for the purchase of the Elkhart mines, at Chloride. The new company is to begin work on the property at once. The new owners of the mines and mill are among the wealthiest people of the east, one of the largest banking institutions in Bos. ton guaranteeing the stock and pay ments on the mines. Mr. Bowen engi- neered the deal. The Flkhart is said Co have big reserves of ofe that can be handled through the big mill, and as the new owners are experts in the treat ment of the class of ore this mine pro duees, we see no reason why it should not be a success. The property will be unwatered and while this is being done the mill will be put in shape and all the water from the mine utilized in the treatment of ore.

NEW USE FOR
 COPPER METAL |S
 RECENTLY FOUND

For many years an effort has been made to combine copper and steel, whereby steel would offer resistance to corrosion. All efforts in the past have been to deposit copper on steel electro. lytically, but it has been found that be. tween the two metals film of moisture is impounded which in time causes the steel to corrode and the copper to peel of.
 The Scientific American now an. nounccs that a solution of the problem has apparently been successfully made by J. Ferreol Monnot Instead of draw. ing one metal over the other, he welds the two together.
 Broadly stated, his process consists in thoroughly cleaning a base or core of the steel; bringing it up to a weld ing temperature without permitting ac. cess of air and consequent oxidation during heating; contracting with it on the cleaned surfaces highly heated, or 'supermolten mass of molten copper; segregating from the mass in immedi- ate proximity to the base a layer of the thickness desired in the subsequent com- pound ingot; allowing the base and coat layer to cool under or during compress sion; and drawing the compound ingot so formed to produce the drown wire desired. The steel core or base used may be an ingot, bar, bloom, billet or other commercial form, and may be of any desired cross section, as round, square, oval, etc., and of any size.
 If the billet is to be made into struc- tural steel wire or rods, where resistance to the corrosion of the clements is alone desired, the copper coating may be very light, indeed, as low as 10 per cent, by volume of the steel. If, however, the wire to be used for the transmission of electric current, the coating is made heavier, in order that it may present less resistance to the current. Hence, 30 per cent, 40 per cent and 50 per cent of the eonductivity of a copepr wire of the same size is produced with conse- quent great increase of tensile strength, because of the presence of steel.
 The next step will naturally be the adaptation of the process on larger scale, for the covering of the immense steel girders used in modern office build ings and other structures.
 ings and other structures.
 Copper clad wire can be made into any kind of standard or twisted cable for ship rigging, catenary suspension and the like.

LoUrsIANA's SWAMP LAND
 MOST FERTILE IN WORLD

Louisiana today embraces within it's boundaries an area which Is, in it's present condition, as useless to it's peo pic as corresponding area on the high seas, says the Southern Farm Maga zine. Yet this now worthless area, something over 100000 acres, is the greatest body of fertility in the world except probably in the Amazon flood plain. The cultivated portion of the al- luvial district south of the Red river is today supporting the densest agri- cultural population in the United States "a population of 33O to the square mile of cultivated land, emitting entirely the urban population of New Orleans.
 Based upon what the alluvial lands are now doing, the undrained lands of Louisiana--lands today wholly unoceu- pied--are capable of supporting, not counting the cities which would exist there, over 3,50o,0o0, population ex- ceeding any one of forty states of the American union. Holland, on an allu- vial area (2,75o,0oo aeres), considerably less than one-half of Louisiana un- drained area, and with a fertility not up to the Louisiana standard, supporters about 5,Oo0,Ooo people, and up to the highest standard of Europe. Holland is almost a synonym for wealth.
 Beyond question the drainage of the remaining marshes and swamps of the United States is the most important nat. ural development awaiting us, and is sure to be done by the present genera. tion. Scores of drainage projects are now actively under way, and thousands of acres have already been brought un' der cultivation with most satisfactory results. The production of these new lands of this famously productive delta, and except where reclaimed by com panies for the purpose of sale, they are rarely offered at any price. Here the drainage movement is getting moment um, and it will not stop until southern Louisiana has become the richest agri cultural community of it's size in the world.

Tho Hotels of Manila

w. c. Garland, proprietor of the Bay Hotel at Manila, is visiting New York, accompanied by his wife, whom he mar. ried just before leaving the Philippines for America, where they, had decided to spend their honeymoon. Mr. Gar land is an Australian by birth and this is his first visit to these shores. His wife is Bostonian. Mr. Garland is not much impressed by our big hotels. He says there is far too much fuss and tinsel surrounding them to suit him and their tariffs he considers outrage ously high.
 "I have made a tonr of the large hotels during my two weeks stay in the city," he said at the Herald Square hotel, "and the ouly thing like about them is their excellent grub and cook ing. But the pleasure of eating is greatly marred by the fearful amount of gaudy tinsel and fuss that surrounds one, the exhorbitant charges for every. thing and the abominable tipping sys. tem. The traaeling public here, how ever, seem to rather like that sort of thing.
 "Our best hotels in Manila, while by no means perfect, are mighty comfor- table and homelike, and our charges are mere bagatelle compared with the tariffs of even the cheaper hotels here. Out there one can live Tn any frst-class hostelry for $ll week. On the menu you will find everything that is to be had in the best establishments her, and a great deal more in the line of fruit. And last, but not least, you'll have & clean swallow tailed waiter to serve you who doesn't keep snifing around your table looking for tip. p."-New York Press.

number of elderly persons living with

hairs is laudable feeling and kind
ness toward the old calls for nothing
save praise. But it does not follow
that the young should De aged before
their time. There is limit to the
G-antity of elderliness with which
the youthful should be in enforced
association. Every human being
throws off more or less influence, ac-
cording to temperament. There is
no such thing as absolute passivity in
anybody. Even the most colorless in
dividual has an effect on others, II
only in a negative way. If there are
more elderly persons in home than
young ones, the atmosphere will be
that of age. The proper proportion
of old and young should be about one
to two.-New York Press.
