B|NFORDSAYS
NO TOOCDEN
OFFER
Wanted Back There, But
This District Looks
too Good TO Him
to Leave Now

VIM. T. Binford. who returned last
week from Denver and Ogden, had
opportunity at the latter city TO re-
sumo his old position of fire chief
with the municipality and would
probably have done so but for the
large faith he has in this district.
Mr. Binford is of those who be-
lieve that nowhere is there a district
holding forth more opportunities for
those who stay with 1t and make use
OF chances which afford. The Ogden
offer made him did not, therefore,
appeal as strongly as il would other
wise have done. Mr.. Binford while
not unappreciative of either the
honor of the emoluments in connee-
ton with the position of fire chief of
the city, felt obliged to declare that
he could not see his way to do him
self justice and still leave as good a
locality as he believed Ely for any
other opening that might afford In
the west. For that reason he re-
turned to the camp.
The offer to assume the direction
of the Ogden fire department was
made Mr.. Binford by the new ad-
ministration which recently came In
power there and to whom his work
as fire chief several years ago is
known and appreciated.

COMSTOCK IS
MAKING ORE
STEADILY

There was a remarkable increase
to the output of Ophir, at Virginia
City, for the week ending last Satur-
day. The value of the ore taken out
would total. according to the assays,
S16,105.54. This was an increase of
rearly 100 per cent over the output
of two weeks before
At this rate, If continued. the out
put for the coming year would be
1897, .0S-well over four-ffths of
d million.
While this is not up to Goldfield
and Tonopah, there are not many
mines In any district in Nevada that
can surpass it; and. as ii comes from
what was popularity supposed to be a
worked out camp. It is the more re-
markable. Late Developments In
Ophir have uncovered ore, the exist
cnce of which was not previously sus-
pected

COPPER GOSSIP.

The closing month of last year
went on record as the banner one for
exports of copper from this country,
the quantity exported having been
S2,956, go pounds. The only other
any previous year, that approaches
this in exports, is November, 1907,
when the quantity exported was
T6,354,SS0 pounds. For the last
quarter of last year copper exports
were altogether phenomenal. reach
ing for the quarter the enormous
quantity of $50 pounds, equal
10 about one-fourth of the entire cop
per production of this country for the
entire year.
Again, If you consider the exports
OF copper from this country for the
whole year YOU have still more ex-
itlaordinary presentment The total
exports of copper from this country
during the year 1907 amounted to
/ 1,134, 4o0 pounds, or considerably
more than one half of all the copper
produced during the year. Neither
the past nor the present has anything
to show that this immense quantity
OF exported copper has gone into con-
sumption abroad, or is in the hands
of the consumers. II is almost twice
as much copper as Europe can take
from this country and consume in
twelve months, for it must be re-
membered that Spain. Norway, AUS
Italia, Japan, Chile and Peru are also
exporters of copper. Mention is not
made OF Mexico aud Canada because
practically all the copper produced
in those countries comes to the
United States and when shipped out
is included In the figures of this
country's exports Germany is a
large producer of copper. but that
country consumes the greater portion
II not all. of ITS product.
The question of what the future
has instore for copper in this country
resolves itself into this: Do not be
governed by a belief that supplies OF
the metal will be so insufficient as to
create a hunger and a thirst after it
causing consumers to bid against each
other in an effort 10 procure all that
they think their manufacturing in
forests require. and as the result of
such competition. sending prices
again skyward There is not, it is
true, any considerable surplus of
copper in this eiuntry, none but what
a revival of good business can take
care of, but it is well to not forget
that Europe, by reason of the enor-
nous supplies received from the
United States during the last three
months. is well provided with copper
for a good half year to come.--Min-

CIRCLE
IS MOVING
STEADILY

At the new camp of Gold Circle, in
the northeastern part of the state,
while the development work is COM
paratiyely limited, yet the surface
showing is most extraordinary. There
is a strong outerop of the vein trend
ing through the district and at dit
ferent points large gold values have
been secured. This outcrop is from
10 to 80 feet high and the gold values
are distributed throughout. Some as
says have shown as high as S10,-
coo ton in gold, with a nominal per-
eentage in silver
Although the district is compare
lively unknown, having been discoy-
cred only a few months since, yet 1t
Is fact that the mining engineers
and prospeetors who have visited the
field are of one opinion. that the sur
face showing Is strong.
This gold zone is demonstrated to
he about five miles wide and l ) miles
long from north to south. A number
of prospect holes have been sunk in
the outcrop and the disclosures have
been sufficient To justify the necessary
expenditure to warrant exploration at
depth. The assays on this mineral
belt have shown gold values of never
less than s25 or $50 ton.
Gold Circle district is well situated
for aggressive mining, as it is located
within 40 miles of Golconda, the out
fitting point, ON the main line of the
Southern Pacific, and is reached by a
road ON which it will not be necessary
to do any work tie take in machin-
cry and supplies.
Another favorable feature is that
there is ample water. As the outcrop
is strongly defined and easily trace
able on the surface, carrying high
grade values throughout in free mill
ing ore, Gold Circle is likely to do
we'll.

MINDING MOTHER,

Boys, Just listen for a moment
10 word | have to say;
Manhood's gates are just before you,
Drawing nearer every day.
Bear in mind, while you are passing,
Ore that intervening span,
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes wicked man.
There are many slips and failures
In this world we're living in;
Those who start with prospects fairest
Oft are overcome by sin,
But I'm certain that you'll notice,
If the facts you'll closely scan,
That the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes a wicked man.
Then be guided by her counsel,
1t will never lead astray;
Rest assured she has your welfare
In her thoughts both night and day.
Don't forget that she has loved you
Since the day your life began;
All, the boy who minds his mother
Seldom makes wicked man.

headquarters which are soon to be
rapidly worked out i'm detail Each
headquarter will be modelled after the
Washington office. In all there will
be six district headquarters, one
located at each of the present inspec-
tion district headquarters--Po Portland,
San Francisco, Albuquerue, Salt
Lake, Denver, and Missoula, Mont
ana, or some other points equally
we'll or better located for the pur-
pose.
At the head of each office there will
be a district forester aud an assistant
district forester. Under these will
be experts In charge of the various
lines OF work. A chief of grazing
Will have charge of range matters. A
chief of products will handle the pre-
servative treatment of timber and
strength tests and study market CON
after such matters as land examina-
tlons The office of lands deals with
questions involving the validity of
claims asserted under the public land
laws; applications for special use Of
the resources of the national forests;
changes in boundaries of forests, and
the examination of lands applied for
under the Act of June IL, 1906, for
agricultural settlement.
For forest service, however, never
passes ON the titles themselves. That
is entirely a matter for the general
land Office TO decide. In the case Of
applications for homesteads under the
Act of June II, 1906. the forest SER
vice is called upon to decide whether
the land is in fact more valuable for
agriculture than for tim ber, and il it
is, to recommend its listing as open
to entry and patent. In the case Of
claims the service ascertains whether
any facts exist which seem to show
that the claim Is not legal one, in
order that national forest land may
not be unlawfully taken up. But it
tests always with the land office of
the interior department to decide
whether the title should or should
not be granted. The branch of lands
in tire district forest service organi-
zatlon does not mean any new
assumption of land business.
There will also be in each district a
chief of silvioulture, who will have
charge of timber sales, planting and
silvlcal experiments. and a chief of
operation. The latter will supervise
the personnel of the forests; the
permanent improvement work,
through an engineer in charge; the
accounts OF the district, including
receipts, disbursements, and book
keeping. which will be directly super
vised by an expert accountant; and
the routine business of the district.
In each of the lines of work the
management Will be in the hands OF a
man who is specialist and who has
had thorough experience both in the
west and in Washington. The foresters
and clerks at each district head
quarters will number about fifty.
The establishment of these field dis
tricts will bring the service into more
immediate touch with the public.
1t is merely the completion of the
movement started some time ago, to
have the forests administered as far
as possible by men actually on the
ground.
The change will not affect the in
vestigative work of the service, which
will center, as hitherto, in Washing
ton. Mr. Pinchot is expected soon to
name the men who will fill the varI-
Gus positions.

Several Car Loads Arrived at Vandiver Park Yesterday--Others are Expected Today for the
 Fair Races.

The paddock and barns over at Vandiver Park presented a lively scene yesterday. Beginning almost at dawn cars were pushed on the spur track just in the rear of the stables As fast as the horses could be unloaded from the cars they were walked around the paddock to get some of the car kinks out of their legs, carefully rubbed down and put in the boxes assigned to them.
 The first car to separate itself from it's thousands of dollars of standard bred horse flesh brought the strings handled by Ben Rennick and Galloway. The queen of Renniek's string is Sa- rah Smith. the chestnut mare by Sel- lers, dam Alice Smith by Melvin. This mare has made a marvellous record this season, one that is rarely heard of. Out of seven starts in Nashville, Mem" phIs and Birmingham she has won five and finished second twice. This is her first year under ire as last year she was not campaigned at all. few workouts here and in Selma being the hardest propositions that she had to face. when the fact Is taken into consideration that in her first year at the races, meeting time and time again some of the crack trotters of the South, she has never yet been out of the money. her value as a race mare can readily be seen. Several times on th circuit she trotted miles peter than 2;15. but & few days ago in Birming- ham she took her mark for this sea- son. trotting a heat in 2:l3 Ia.
