A Forty-Pound Gold Brick.

When one becomes accustomed to
the handling of gold it is carried about
in any old way. Here in the west ten
and twenty dollar pieces are carried
about loose in the pocket, as carelessly
as an eastern man packs about his
pennies. In the east, when the com
mon run of mortals get their fingers
on a gold coin, it goes into some secret
hiding place or is boarded in vault,
because it is considered so precious:
but here gold is piled high on the
counters of our banking houses, and
the customer, in cashing a check, can
take his choice of gold, silver or green
backs.
Salt Lake is a Mecca for eastern
tourists, who sometimes marvel at the
ways and methods of western people.
They see many strange sights here to
challenge their attention and interest,
but they would marvel if they were to
see bars of gold bullion carried about
on the streets in a seemingly careless
manner: but this is what often occurs
in Zion.
A day or two ago the writer met Ed.
S. Chafey, the daddy of the booming
gold camp of Chafey, in Humboldt
county, Nevada, and the chief owner
of the great Black Hole mine of this
bonanza camp. Mr. AChafey was unat-
tended, and yet he carried under his
arm rather bulky package wrapped
in an old newspaper. When asked
what he had in his package, he an
swered, ''Only a forty-pound bar OF
gold bullion l am taking to the bank, .
and, unwrapping the same, he exposed
/ for our examination, and that of by
standel S, as handsome a bar of bullion
as is seldom seen in any mining cen.
ter: and yet this ingot of the preciou.
metal was worth about S,OOOS, if moi
more.
Chafey has been a success ever since
Mr.. Chafey made his appearance il
this camp in May of last year. The
Black Hole mine, opened by Mr.
Chafey, has proven to be marvelously
rich, and other properties in the same
section are proving up most satisfac
torily with development. Time after
time delegations from Salt Lake, REM
and Los Angeles have visited Chafe!
during the past year, and all unite il
the belief that it is the making of /;
great camp. And yet Mr.. Chafe!
states that he wants no boom founded
on bubbles, but that the district mus
improve and grow, if it does make for
ward advancement, on the real meri
of its mines.-Salt Lake Mining Re

half way. The new strike is directly
north of the railroad, where it goes
through this pass, distance of four or
five miles. To be accurate, says Mr..
Hall, it is five and one-half miles north
west from Salome, in an air line, but
seven miles distant by the road. 1t is
seven miles northeast of Vicksburg by
an air line. eight and a half miles by
road, or IL miles by road from Vicks-
burg. But whatever route one takes,
he will have to walk two miles to get
to the strike as a ''navigable" wagon
road goes no nearer at this time

The Production of Copper is Enormous

New York, March 13.-Current re-
turns indicate that the American re-
fneries have been accumulating cop
per at the rate of 100000 pounds a
day since February l, indicating that
stocks of refined copper in the hands
of producers alone are today about
$4,000, 900 pounds. Estimating stocks
in the hands of consumers and specula-
tors at 81, ,0OO,0 900, we have total refined
stocks today of 220,O0O,OO0 pounds. De-
Quoting 5000 200 pounds exports of
pig copper from the 2SS,000,000 pounds
of blister at beginning of the year,
we have 25S,000,00O pounds of blister
copper in stock, or approximately, a
total of 47S,OOO,OO0 pounds of blister,
and refined copper together in the
United States today.
We are producing both blister and
refined copper at an unprecedented
rate, that is, 100 per cent, while we are
delivering into consumption on do
mestic and foreign account about 60
per cent.
Under these conditions it is not sur
prising that the manipulative tactics
of spectators last week failed in the
object of driving any but timid buyers
into the market TO cover future re-
quirements. The purchases on do
mestic account are understood to have
been relatively small, and even some
of the copper purchased was resOld
later. The purchases for export by
foreign dealers have been grossly ex-
aggerated, it being estimated that less
than 25.OOOO, 900 pounds on both domes-
tic and foI eign account were sold for
April, May and June shipment.

Mining Deal IS Reported at GIeeson.

c. D. Reppy, right-of-way agent for
the Southern Pacific company, came
in last evening from Gleeson, where
he is at present making his head
quarters. He states that the S. p.
will be doing business in Courtland in
about two weeks, the construction
gang being now only mile from the
camp. When completed to Courtland
the road will be rushed forward with
all possible haste to Gleeson. And,
Judging from current rumor on the
street today, the railroad people are
Fastening to the latter camp to share
in the prosperity that seems to be so
near at hand. 1t is stated that the
Copper Queen company is to take over
all the mining interests in the vicinity
of Gleeson. with the exception of the
Shannon holdings. The report is not
without credence, since it is known
that the experts for the Copper Queen
Company have been busy in that sec
tion for the past two weeks. The
ground to be required in this reported
deal embraces a large area of mineral
land with alluring surface indications,
and the claimants are many, among

Weekly Review Of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. G. Dun & Company's Weekly
Review Of Trade says:
Crop reports are favorable, espe-
cially for corn and spring wheat,
with winter wheat nearly harvested.
Progress on the new tariff is marked
and indications point to its early
enactment into laws. The excellent
conditions in the iron and steel trade
emphasized this week by the report
of the principal producer and an in
crease in its rate divided are main
tanned. The dry goods trade is
broadening. Reports from the prin-
cipal trade centers are uniformly en-
2ouraging, in spite of the fact that
this is midsummer and merchants
are still anxious for the final word
concerning the crops and the tariff.
July failures have made the smallest
months total Of liabilities since
early in 1907. Nearly every devel-
opment Is therefore that of improve
ment. This varies in degree, being
at some points rapid aud at Others
slow, but, nevertheless, the tendency
Is persistently away from past de-
preston. Confidence, it is true, in
ereases faster than present trade &C
tivitiy and prospects of coming agri-
cultural and industrial prosperity are
more pronounced than immediate
business, but this confidence appears
to have an immense uplifting power.

CLOVER SICK SOIL.

Ever since the beginning OF farm
ing in the United States there has
been misunderstanding in some sec.
tons and among certain farmers as
to why clover won't grow. OF eourss
there are different reasons hut it is
usually because the ground is either
sour or because it is not good enough
To give the young plants the proper
start.
II a. farmer finds that he cannot
make red clover or alfalfa do well.
it IS comparatively an easy thing for
him to experiment with an acre or
so. Let him buy, say fiftv bushels
or lime just before he sows his grain.
MAIZE a big bin of boards on the
ground, dump the lfne in it and
slack with water. Water-slackened
lime is much better than air-slaclS-
ed. Then, after the soil is prepared
for seeding. scatter Is bushels of this
slackened lime on one acre and SOW
It with three pecks Of barley and 25
pounds of good. well tested alfalfa
seed. Then scatter say 800 pounds o:
soil from an old alfalfa Held. or soil
from the side of the road where sweet
clover grows in abundance.
OF course farmers cannot afford to
do a great deal Of promiscuous ex'
perimentipg. but it paws to know you-
soil as we'll as your climate. Climate
may cover a whole country. but soil
Is peculiar to each farm. The expert.
ment station can tell farmer wha:
ne can grow to advantage so far as
climate goes, but he must find out for
himself the right methods of treating
his particular soil in order to take
advantage of favorable climatic condi
tions. A man risks very little in
trying lime on a single acre. If II
fails to wonk an improvement. the
experiment is more than likely e

The clerk had visions of an offered
appointment as Secretary of Legation
at Madrid, and that very night set
diligently to work to acquire the
language of the Dons, and with un-
usual success. Two months later he
ventured to suggest:
Mr.. Secretary, short while ago
you asked me If was familiar with
Spanish. At that time was not, but
/ have since mastered it."
Indeed! Very good" the Secre-
tary said. Have you really become
proficient in the language in this

MAKING TIMOTHY HAY.

Timothy may be cut in the morn
ing and put in the NOW in the after
noon if you know how to do it. Start
the moving machine as soon as tho
dew is off in the morning, then fol-
low the machine with the tedder and
follow the tedder with the side-de
livery rake. If the day is drying
one the hay may be made in perfect
condition for moving away before
night and the hay made in this way
will come out nice green color IL
the winter time and the stock viii
go for it like cornstalks in summer
A little clover sprinkled through
the timothy will cure all right, but
If there is too much clover it may
lead to trouble. Timothy is easily
handled if there is no dew on it OF
no rain. The juice in the stalks will!
be absorbed and will not work in
jury, but rain or dew seems to have
different effect. There is fungus
growth induced by water on greer
clover that grows and develops in
the NOW and causes heating. This
fungus is responsible for the dust In
cured hay. 1t is the one thing to
avoid.
One great trouble in making hay
is that farmers are, liable to cut
down too much. 1t is better to cut
an acre OF two, cure it properly and
NOW it away than it is to cut down
more and take chances. This is 0
case where 1t is better to be safe
than sorry.-Epitomist
