THE BISCUIT
SHIPS ITS ORE
First Car on 1000 ton con-
tract reaches American
SmeIter at Salt Lake

The first car of ore possible by
virtue of the newly made contract
between the Biscuit Mining COM
pany and the American Smelling and
Refining company was received at the
local samplers Wednesday morning,
says the Salt Lake Tribune. The
Biscuit management several days ago
contracted to deliver one thousand
tons of ore before certain date to
the American company, and ship
ments from now on are expected
steadily. While the assays are not
out yet on this shipment. it will ay-
erage between 20 and 100 ounces
silver to the ton, IL the mine assays
are guide.
The only drawback to shipments
from the Biscuit property heretofore,
aside from the smelling restrictions,
under which practically all mining
companies have suffered, is the bad
road from the dump to the railroad
tracks. For two and a half miles is
a swampy stretch of ground that
makes ore hauling a matter of con-
siderable difficulty and expense. But
the Nevada Northern Railroad COM
pany has assured the Biscuit people
that a branch line will be constructed
to cover this distance, and work on
this spur should now be In actual
progress.
When completed the spur will
come in under the Biscuit dump.
while all Cherry Creek will have a
tremendous advantage also in send
ing out its ores and in bringing in
its mine machinery and supplies
With this line the Biscuit is in po-
sition to become a very faithful
shipper of silver ore

Both Stocks Have Scored Good Advance in the Last
Two Days---LOOk as if They Would Lead Copper
For Awhile. General Market Improvement

Cumberland Ely and Nevada Con-

market during the last two days.
They have been pretty much all of
the demand among investors In the
high class coppers and the present
outlook is that they will continue as

Successful closing OF Nevada Con-

a great deal with the present action.
IL is understood from New York adj
vices that the stockholders took up
all of this issue with much prompt
ness and that the underwriters get
practically none of the issue. They
stood ready to take all the stock
holders left, btu it appears that the
stockholders didn't find core In the
apple.
Cumberland Ely came up stronger

A CHANCE FOR SPECULATION.

It has been generally understood
that the 80 per cent feature of the
primary law is all that has been ap-
pealed to the supreme court from the
First judicial district, but it is report
ed from what is considered good au-
thority that Judge Templeton decided
the entire primary law unconstitu-
tional, and that the higher court will
consider and decide upon the law as
a whole. a.. II
Some interesting speculation is due
should the court knock out the law,
as there then might be no candidates
In either party in the field, or it may
be that the court would hold that the
action at the late primaries would
stand, aside from the point raised on
the 80 per cent section of the law. If
the whole law was wiped out, and the
result Of the primaries voided, the va.
rfous political parties will have to
hold conventions under the old law for
the selection of candidates and then
there would be an opportunity for
| more speculation. Neither Judges
Fisk nor Morgan could be reached last
evening to verify the report.

they are guilty: of violating the law,
and there will be something doing
soon If the delay continues. The law
has been tested in the state, and the
courts have held it to be good, hence
the man who seeks to get around it
is inviting serious trouble for himself
1t does not make any difference wheth-
er a man Is doing business now or
not. The fact that he has had a re-
ceipt issued in his name is enough
the law requires that he shall have the
same published to the world, so that
people may know.

IMPORTANCE
OF DRAINAGE
Kidding Roads Of Storm and
Underground Water Sub.
ject Of Thoughtful Paper
Sent Out by the United
States Office Of Public
Roads =.

With an average Of ,27,900 tons Of
water falling in the form Of rain on
each mile of public road in the Unit"
ed States annually, it is scarcely to
be marvelled at that the ten COM
mandments Of the road builder can
be summed up succinctly in the
word drainage"
The saying has truth for a basis,
as good drainage is the primary re-
quisite for all roads. Even in sand
roads this holds true, for, there
"good drainage means such as will
safely remove the storm water with
out erosion or outlying and still re-
tain the surface moisture. <
To secure good drainage, one must
take into consideration both the sur
face water and the underground
water. The surface water must be
removed quickly and completely and
without subjecting the road to ex-
cessive scour or erosion. For this
reason the center of the road should
be raised and the slop toward the
side bitches should be from one-half
to one inch to each foot distance,
or so that the water will run freely
to the side bitches and not flow down
the road or remain in puddles on
the roadway. The side bitches
should be made of ample size to care
for the severest storms with fall of
! not less than six inches to each 100
feet. Frequent and ample cross
drains should be constructed and
every opportunity taken to get the
water away from the road as quick
ly as possible. Any road along which
you see water standing In the side
bitches or on which puddles Of water
have collected or which have been
badly quilted and eroded by the
rains has poor drainage and is In
need Of immediate attention. In fact
earth roads nearly always require q
little attention after each rain. The
split-log drag is essentially a, tool
to maintain good drainage on our
| earth roads, and should be used after
each rain. On a heavy clay OF gum
DO soil the drag, when properly u.s.
ed, tends to puddle the road surface,
keep it free from ruts, dense,
smooth and hard, thus securing the
best surface drainage possible. j
But in many places the under
ground water Is too near the surface
and must be removed before good
road will be possible. This means
that some form of sub-drainage must
be resorted to, usually tile drains
of clay or concrete. Water y from
whatever source must be gotten rid
