BRUIN WITH A RECORD.
This One Distinguished Himself In
 Raiding Alaskan Hotels.
From the Milwaukee Free Press.

From the Milwaukee Free Press.
 The chances are strong that within a couple of months there will be admitted into the animal colony at Washington Park a black bear from Circle City, Alas ka, which, according to the stories told i about him by his recent owner, Robert O. Curry of Circle City, Is likely to demor- alize all of Keeper Beans well-behaved menagerie.
 Teddy, for that is the now commonplace name of this proposed addition to the zoo, is, only In his teens as regards his bear age, But he has ruined the best chef in Circle City, has cost much money by his absolute habits, and has acquired repu- tation known to all Alaska.
 MT. Curry gave the bear to his brother William, of Milwaukee. And William Cur ry says he Is going to hand the beast right over to a. regular bear man, Keeper Dean of the zoo.
 Teddy was captured by Indians in the frozen regions of the silent north, way north of Circle City. He was less than day Ca six months' day) old when he was caught.
 His real career began, however, after he and his brother struck Circle City and became the property of MT. Curry who Is wealthy mine owner there At Circle City man can pay higher prices for food than in almost any other spot under the sun. Porterhouse steaks come at q and side dishes are only eaten by millionaires It was when Pierre Lognett. the Circle City Hotels French chef, forgot to put the strawberries in the safe that Teddy cut his first caper.
 An order of strawberries and cream in Circle City costs about $250, and there were about 20 small boxes of the berries stacked up when Teddy turned loose his appetite. They represented about $200 Teddy ate them up clean. Then he con- sumed enough other delicacies to repre- sent srnall fortune All this was paid for by MT. Curry. This was Teddy's first offense
 The next time he got a chance Teddy raided the Arctic inn, a fashionable hos telry in the mining city. and stole 12- pound ham, worth $17, and a lot of as- sorted meats worth $30. MT Curry began to realize that the bear was a costly asset. It had already cost him s2S2 But while the owner of Teddy was wondering what to do the lat ter hastened his decision by entering the store of a bankrupt Seattle merchant which had passed Into the hands of re- ceiver. Teddy crawled into the store by night and stayed there for two days. His last raid was an expensive one, and after settling 1t MT, Curry chained up his pet and took him to Indianapolis.

Henry M. Atkinson Points Out
DEFICIENCIES Common Among
Ore Sellers.
IN RELATION WITH BUYERS.
Some Interesting Figures showing
How Producer Gets the
Worst OF II.

In the last issue of the Engineering
~ Mining Journal has appeared q
lengthy article from the pen OF Henry
NJ. Atkinson, late manager OF the New
England Gold & Copper company, In
which he furnishes some interesting in
formation relative to conditions which
have governed the sale OF ores to Gus
tom shelters. The figures compiled
by Mr.. Atkinson are interesting in the
extreme and In some instances show
where the smelling companies have
drawn down the big end of the value of
the ore treated as their proportion for
treatment charges, penalties, etc.
In the first table he shows that dur
Ing the non-contract period over 507
tons of ore were shipped to a smelt
Ing company, the value of which. as per
New York metal quotations. was ST.,
170.S9. OF this the shipper got sS,649.ls;
the smelter got S2,45s.73 for treatment
charges. and the sum of So, 062.9S for
some unknown reason, giving the smell
ter nearly 80 per cent of the whole
amount,
In the second table, showing ore sales
for the first year of a contract period,
the shipper sent in ore valued at 49,,
1906, for which he secured S4,2l6S7,
a little over IS per cent The smell
ter got $i,519,19. or over 81 per cent.
In several following tables these figures
held.

breathe eat, and dream mining. milling

confused, and apparently routed. by
the mysterious details of selling their
output What would be our opinion OF
a storekeeper who worked necessarily
to reduce his costs OF rent, help, equip

buyer and good judge of necessary
stock and yet did not figure what was
to be his market price on each item OF
the material he handled; but, who
adopted the practise of allowing ms
customers to name the price on the

II freely grant that In many cases
there is an absolute MONOPOLY OF the
smelling business, and the ore-selier
has to take what he can get, but also
believe that in very many cases the
ore-seller could obtain much better
