A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR
YOUNG MEN WHO DESIRE
AN AGRICULTURAL
EDUCATION

Many or the young men who have
finished the course in agriculture at
the Tuskegee Institute are command
ing salaries ranging from $50 to 800
per month. The graduates of this
department of the school are success
fully employed as instructors, or as
managers of important agricultural
operations. The school has an agri-
cultural faculty of twenty instructors;
men who have received their training
in the best agricultural schools of the
country.
Young colored men and women who
desire to take courses in practical and
scientific agriculture are now offered
the best opportunity to pursue such
courses in one of the largest and best
equipped schools for practical and
scientific agriculture to be found in
the South. The following courses are

and If to these items be added the
cement, limestone, sand, fuorspar,
pyrites, lead and zinc ores, and other
materials mined, abundant field for
the activity of the Survey corps will
be apparent.
Object of Survey.
The object of the Geological Survey
is to make complete studies of the
geology and mineral resources of the
state with a view to their efficient and
economical development. In 1906 the
total value of the mineral output of
this state was $121,OOOO0O. In 1907
preliminary figures indicate that the
total was approximately $143,O00,0O0.
This rapid expansion warrants the ex-
penditure of a reasonable sum to Sc
cure efficiency and devise means for
preventing waste. One of the means
adopted by the Geological Survey is
the making of accurate topographic
maps, which are at the same time
available for a wide range of engi-
neering purposes. These maps are be-
ing made on basis Of the federal
government paying half the cost.
Twelve such maps have been COM
pleted and issued and eight more are
practically complete. Seven bulletins
have so far been issued by the Sur
vey They deal with the coal, clay
cement materials and other resources
of the state, and five more on these
bulletins are ready for printing.
Survey of the Bottom Lands.
A survey is being made in connec-
rion with the Internal Improvement
commission and the national govern
ment, of the various rivers and the
lands subject to overflow, with view
to stream improvement, for power,
navigation and land reclamation pur-
poses. 1t Is estimated that in the bot
tom lands of the state to be reclaimed
and protected from overflow there will
be added to the taxable values of the
state more than $1OO,OOOOOO above the
cost of doing the work, besides result
ing benefits from health Improvement
throughout the areas recovered.
The value of the work done by the
Geological Survey has been cOnspicu-
GUS. and in Governor Deneen's biennial
message he recommended an increased
appropriation for the continuance of
it's labors. The Forty fifth General AS
sembly continued it's appropriations
and added $4,000 for a special survey
Of the streams.

Geological Survey Work.
Active field work for the present
season has been begun by the State
Geological Survey. The heavy rains
and flooded bottoms delayed the begin
ming of the work, since one of the most
important duties of this bureau is the
mapping of the river bottom lands.
This is preparatory to determining
means for protecting them from floods
and for the purpose of affording data
regarding possible power developments
and navigability Of the streams. On
the SangamOn river maps have been
completed from Petersburg to River
ton, and party in charge of P. q.
Fletcher is now running levels from
els are to be run from River,on to
Monticello and up Salt Fork to Clinton.
On the Kaskaskia the level lines are
completed and a party of engineers ID
now engaged in making complete
map of the bottoms. Last year the
river from Keyesport to New Athens
was mapped, and in the course of the
winter Snoal Creek has been mapped
from Greensville to it's mouth. The
party now in the field, consisting Of
Messrs. e. w. McCrary, S. X. Atkfn-
son, Lee Morrison and assistants, eX-
pect to complete the mapping of the
main stream from Cowden to It's mouth
this season. This party will live in
camp and travel by boat. The Kas-
kaskia has been so neglected and Is
so filled up with sand bars and logs
that 1t was necessary to build a spe-
cial shallow-water boat to transport
the party. The boat. which draws only
ten inches of water when loaded, and
which is driven by a small gasoline
engine, was built at Carlyle and is
now in service.
Map the Big Muddy.
On the Big Muddy, Messrs. Morri-
son, Duck and Hughes have been busy
at such times as weather permitted
through the winter, with the result
that much Of the river from it's mouth
to above Carbonate is mapped Ow-
ing to the high water 1t has been i'm
possible so far to do any work on the
Little Wabash. Last season the United
States Department made drainage
map of the bottom from Carmi to Clay
City, and this season the work is to
be extended.
Regular Typographical surveys have
been taken up for this season by a
party working under w. J. Floyd and
making headquarters at Duquoin. 1t
is planned to complete the work from
Herrin to Murphysboro. Later In the
season surveys in the vicinity Of La
Sale. Galena and Bridgeport will be
taken up. This work is being done in
cooperation with the United States
Geological Survey.
Examine Mineral Resources.
Not only are the river and topo-
graphic surveys being pushed, but this
will be a busy season in the investi-
CATION of the mineral resources of the
state. Messrs. F. w. DeWolf, John
Udden, G. II. Cady and 7. T. Savage
devote their special attention to the
coal fields. Frank Layman Is busy
collecting samples of clay supposed
to be suitable for mixing with the
limestone and making Portland ce-
ment. These samples are being test
ed at the university by Professor

MILL AT M'GILL
Is DOING FINE WORK

p. A. Danaher Of Cherry Creek visited
the McGill smelter yesterday and wit
messed the operation of the first unit of
the concentration run on both Nevada Con.
and Cumberland Ely ores.
Mr.. Danaher was very much surprised
at the amount OF concentrates being made
from the crude ores and states that is the
general condition of the minds of the
mill bosses and others connected with
the plant.
The management Is getting one of the
greatest surprises of their lives in the
amount Of concentrates being made from
the ores. and IL means that The success
OF the plant is no longer under the shadow
of doubt. as all newly constructed plants
usually are.
The ore being treated from the Nevada
Con. IS coming from Copper Flat, and is
of the lowest grade TO be found in any
of the property of the company and was
selected for that reason for the first run.
when the principal points TO be cOnsid-
cred at the present time is 10 get the
machinery running in perfect unison. ra-
Their than an attempt 10 make the best
or largest amount of concentrates.

for the Year The mine was opened in
1919, and up to July 29.1907 the dividends
aggregated total of S7035.050 on the is
sued capitalization of s. 400, $50.
Tamarack made a poor showing last
year. The output was 1l.0lS.6G pounds of
Tine copper, equivalent to 20.S pounds per
ton of rock milled at a total cost of s.. 50.
The fine copper cost &c cents per pound
at New York, where the selling price av-
eraged 1888 cents per pound. Neverthe-
less, Iamarack has behind il a good rec
ord, for its dividends, begun in 1888
amounted 10 50, 10000 TO July %. 1907, on
capitalization of 81, 800 900. Mining at
great depth has become very expensive
which necessitates the milling of an in
creased quantty'of rock at greater cost
Investors in copper shares are frequent
~ misled by the comparison that is made
with the Calumet & Hecla mine, which
produces annually between 600 and
lO0,Oo,OO0 pounds of copper and has paid
dividends since 1871 of $l06 $50 600 on
capitalization Of only s., 500 600. and the
Wolverine, which can lay copper down in
New York around I cents per pound and
has declared dividends since 1890 of S.
$4,000 on a share-capital of 81 10000
We venture to say that there are COM
paTatlYeiy few new copper mines which
will repeat the history of the great Cal
umet 4 HeCla, though there may be some
that will attain the low working costs Of
it sseemS the better policy in estimating
the future earnings of A new copper
property to select, as we did above. what

OIL EXCITEMENT Is
STILL ON AT BLUFF CITY

Excitement over the oil fields discov-
cred near Bluff City Utah, continues to
run high in that section of the country
and every day witnesses the departure of
new groups of men seeking TO secure
whatever advantage is TO be had from
being among the first on the ground. The
latest news from the scene of operation
tells Of a gusher just discovered. the out
put Of which is estimated at between 800
and 200 barrels day, says the Denver Re
publican.
The distance of the oil fields from A
railroad. a matter of at least seventy five
miles. makes profit on oil out of the dues-
ton under present conditions, but to over
come this difference, the business men
of Bluff City are planning an automobile
line TO carry the product to the railroads.
Dolores, Colo, on the Denver d Rio
Grande. is the nearest station TO the new
ly found gushers, and this would be the
terminal point of the new line of motor
cars. The business men OF Bluff have
formed a board OF trade and are making
the best of the opportunity for growth
which is offered by the discovery of oil
in their vicinity. If the fields prove suf-
ficiently productive, il is probable that a
spur line of railroad will be run from
Dolores TO some point most central to all
the flowing wells.

COST OF COPPER
At LAKE MINES
Review of Conditions Attend
ing Production at Aver
age Run of Properties.

With the market price of lake copper
around Is cents per pound and the out
put somewhat less than last year, the
question of cost is of vital Importance to
shareholders whose dividends have been
cut in the last quarter, says Saturday s
Mining World.
After analyzing as nearly as is possible
the financial statistics of twelve of the
lake copper mines mot including the Cal
umet & Hecla or the Wolverine, which
have been purpOsely omitted, we find
that their output for the calendar year of
1907 amounted TO IS, ,26S pounds of fine
copper.
This metal was won from ore that
stamped an average of 11.4S to %. 26S
pounds of refined copper to the ton of
rock milled. The total cost per ton of
rock miiled varied from S.54 to 81 .9S
while the cost of fine copper delivered i'm
New York ranged from an average of S. i3
to 1856 cents per pound.
The selling price in New York during
1901 as per official mine reports, varied
from 17.2S To -. 05l cents per pound, ac-
coTding to quantity, quality and time of
delivery. The margin of profit was, we
believe, sufficient to permit the payment
of fair dividends even if the copper mar
ket should continue at its present low
level

In the list of twelve mines we selected
is the Quincy, which produced 19, 796.05S
pounds of fine copper last year at cost
of l2.34 cents per pound, and which sold
at an average price of 1911 cents per

100000 the Quincy Mining company has
declared dividends of SIS. $50 900 from 1862

the company was increased in 1897 from
81, 10000 to S.. 1904 900.

in which is owned by the Copper Range
Consolidated company, produced JIG, 4S9 436
