Ruskin. it is said. has written more
sentences Of inordinate length than
any other classic writer Of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison
some years ago counted the words in
a number OF typical sentences. finding
that in the earlier books It was no un-
common thing for Ruskin to run
beyond the page before permitting
himself and his readers the relief OF a
full stop. But in every case the sense
is clear as day. Wordsworth's poem
on the Character OF the Happy War
rior" is a notable example OF sustained
connections. Apart from the opening
and closing couplets. the poem con
sists Of two very long compound SEN
tences almost entirely comprised OF
adjectyal clauses. The longer OF the
two sentences contains 81 decasyllablc
lines. This is probably a record in
English verse.

The embarrassment OF the under
ground electric railways which link
together all sections OF London. and
which have now gone into the hands
of a receiver for the resdiustment Of
the finances OF the system. is said TO
be due to the sharp competition OF
the motor buses and cheap cabs that
continue to do q fiourishing business
on the surface. in the open. This
explanation isn't altogether incom-
prehensible even frpm this somewhat
remote distance. For passengers who
are in no great hurry the charms OF
the top Of a London bus. as well as
those Of cab. for shilling are ire
sistible, especially when compared
with the dark. dank and gloomy under

lish metropolis.

1t is time that we were beginning
to think about the seed that we are
going to use rhis spring, and espe-
ciallv that of our seed corn and oats.
It is questionable if there ever was a
time in the history of the State when
the testing of each individual ear of
corn that is used for seed will mean
so much to the Iowa farmers as it will
this season. 1t only takes twelve TO
fourteen ears of corn for the planting
of an acre, so there can be no good ex-
cuse for it being neglected. 1t would
mean millions of bushels of corn to
the State of Iowa if every one of her
farmers were careful TO test each in
dividual ear of corn for terminating
power. that he might discard the
weak and worthless seed which other
wise will be used. The undersigned
will gladly Sc nd full particulars on
the termination of seed corn.

years crop weighing all the way from
fifteen to twenty. five pounds TO the
bushel. Large crops cannot be ex-
pected from weak seed. Let US see to
it that our oats are thoroughly famed
so that nothing but the largest,
plumpest grains are kept for seed pur
poses. In some localities it will be
found that after tanning there will
be practically none left for seed. This
should be found out in time that
other seed may be secured. Now is
the time when these matters should
be given special attention, for soon
the spring work will come on and
then we are liable to feel that we do
not have the time. NJ. l.. Bowman,

GOOD ORE STRIKES.

Good ore strikes are becoming a
daily occurrence in the Globe district
and we hope that they will continue.
During the last two years thousands Of
dollars have been spent In the devel-

firmly established companies, and re-

There has been more money spent in
legitimate mining by newly organized

COST OF PRODUCING
COPPER IS VARIABLE
Many Estimates Fail To Count
Depreciation In Value
of Plants,

TUCSON, Feb. 2S-There have been
many statements pro and con as to
the average cost of producing copper.
OF course it will be Immediately rec
ognized that the cost must be duo
tuating item, affected by the rise and
fall Of wages and material, together
with the varying richness of the Tn
derground deposits.
Statements have recently been made
by the Amalgamate1 interests to the
effect that their estimate of the pres
en- average cost of making copper IN
this country, including expenses OF
every nature and with hue regard for
depreciation and replacement of worn
out machinery, etc, is ls cents Fer
pound.
An Amalgamater interest says: at
is folly to attempt to swallow many
of these predictions as to low copper
costs. When estimates as to future
earnings at various prices of copper
are set forth, it frequently happens
that little or no account is taken Of
the very important item of plant depIe e.
citation.
There are those who make charges
for all construction work against So
called surplus earnings; others have a
convenient capital account handy; but
so far as the stakeholder himself is
concerned, such harges properly be-
long among the items making up the
cost of producing copper.
Machinery is constantly wearing
out or becoming antiquated and must
be substituted by new and up to date
construction. When proper and rea-
sonable consideration is given to the
depreciation account, together with
the increasing cost Of making copper
incident to deper workings, higher Ia
Dor expenses and more expensive ma
terial and supplies, believe it viii
be found that Notwithstanding the low
cost of such mines as the Calumet &
Hecla, Copper Queen, Calumet & Arr
IONA, Utah Consolidated, ETC., the av.
Ierage for the country over cannot con,
seryatively be placed at less than 13
cents per pound"

Plans Nearly Ready For Start
ing Work On Plant, Which
Will Be On West Side Of
Mine.

TUCSON. Feb. IS. = Preparations
are now nearly complete for begin
ming work on the 100-ron conceRtrator
which the Tucson Consolidated MIN
ing company will erect at the Old
Pueblo mine, which they are operat-
ing.
Judge F. w. Pickett, who is sUA-
eraI manager of the mine, stated Tat
work on the concentratlr would be
commenced within a short time. The
concentration will be locaIed on the
west side of the company property.
A big tunnel which will pass
through the ore body opened up last
fall and from which ore shipments
were made, is being run from the
south side of the hill, which the CO..
pany owns. A track will be laid in
this tunnel and the ore viii he car
ried through it to the concentration
bin. The track will be slightly down
grade toward the concentraIor.
At the present time the Old Pueblo
company is working a force or about
twenty-six men. Three shifts are be-
ing operated in the main SHAFT which
is now down to a depth of 2l5 feet.
The bottom is in ore and the foIma-
ton is becoming softer, which makes
the sinking of the shaft easier.
At the 200-foot level station tim
bers are. being erected. Above the
big tunnel which is being run there
are a number of drifts and crosscuts.
Drifting is being done to the west
while the crosscuts run TO the north
and south. the tunnel is now in for
a distance of 100 feet.
The company has contracted for an
additional equipment for the mine
A boiler of 125-horse power and

been In progress for some time. This
tunnel is completed for a distance of
about / 200 feet, and 1t has reached a
point directly beneath the under
ground lake. At the point where the
tunnel is to start on its upward
course a vein OF ore OF great rich
ness was struck.
"The engineer In charge OF the
work Is exercising the greatest pre-
caution to prevent a loss OF life
among the workmen when the lake is
tapped. He has arranged a system OF
electric signals. extending through
the whole length of the tunnel. The
workmen at the head of the tunnel
will give the signal the moment the
flow OF water begins and the work
men will be expected TO make a run
for it to the mouth OF the tunnel. In
order TO induce men to undertake the
hazardous work extraordinary high
wages are paid and every possible
precaution is taken to prevent the
loss of life.
THE tunnel is believed to be at a
depth of at least 800 feet below the
bottom of the workings of the mine.
The greatest difficulty is experienced
in digging upward through the rock,
but as good ore Is being encountered
at different points the project will, in
part pay for Itself.
ct is claimed that there is no doubt
as to the richness of the mine, and
that, while the tunnel work is very
expensive, the vast ore body which
will be encountered when the mine is
unwatered win reveal a bonanza
equal to the best mine in Mexico. II
the project succeeds San Marcos will
