In a recent interview published in
the Aroostook Times, Mr.. j.. l.. Cleve-
land, one of the heaviest potato buyers
in the country, had the following to
say with reference to the outlook for
this crop in the great Garden County:
THE fine clear weather for the last
two weeks, following the rains of the
previous two weeks, has given almost
ideal conditions for the proper growth
and maturing of the potato crop. and
careful reports prepared by members
of our Company who have recently
made long trips through the potato
growing sections of the County by au-
tomobile. Justify the belief that. with
continued favorable conditions we may
reasonably expect to harvest a normal
crop, or say, as large as that of
last season, approximately 100000
bushels"
Mr.. Cleveland characterized as mis-
leading and ridiculous" a report sent
out from ArOostook county not long
ago estimating the potato crop at 3d.
100000 bushels.
He further stated that the re-
port that by reason of the seed
missing, large fields were being plough
ed UP and re-seeded with grain was
erroneous; or indeed that the vitality
of the Aroostook seed is running out
from repeated planting. should and
could be easily renewed by raising
more vigorous plants from the seed
ball, and that 1 offer 800 for a peck
of the potato seed ball for this pur-
pose. Such "rot'' would be laughabe
| We're it not for the fact that, as served
up by the State papers, it is taken
| seriously, and the result is, almos,
general misrepresentation of the con-
ditions as they exist"

Nv Little Bunoaloafer.

A little bungaloafer is a-snuggling close
to me,
His little face is sticky as little face
can be;
There's jam upon each rosy cheek and
on his chin and nose,
His arms are brown as beechnuts and
there's mud upon his toes;
He, barefoot. wades the brook near by,
whene're it pleases him,
His eyes are bright as dew drops and
he's full of life and vim:
His hat is ragged on the edge, his hair
sticks through the crown.
There's grass stains on his rompers and
perhaps | ought to frown;
But, oh! how can | when he laughs, so
happy, glad and free,
And snuggles up all jam and mud and
loves and kisses me.

INATTENTION CONTINUES-IO-
CALLY BUTTE AND BOSTON
ELY ARE THE STRONG ONES
THEtMETAL SITUATION.
r.

I~nattention continues the feature
OF the market. Trading is very
light Sagging prices are an attendant
result. Clearing OF the boards of
the tariff question yesterday NAV
have some effect along lines of i'm
provement today, but the Indications
are that the market will drag along
the present course for some DAYS
to come.
Butte-Ely Is the strong feature in
the local market. This stock has
advanced materially in the last sew
eral days and will probably go still
higher. The action Is largely sat-
tributed to reported deal for the
property by .Giroux Con. This trans
action has not closed. Whether it
does or not, recent development
work along the line of Butterfly by
Nevada Con. warrants present price
and even a higher one. Boston Ely
Is a good second in the market, hav-
ing scored a very nice advance since
the r was found in. its shaft last
week. 1t is another stock that is
worth all and more than it is selling
for If prospects count for anything.
Nevada Con. is gaining right
along. as it should. Giroux holds
firm and ought to advance during
the next few days Assurance of
a steam shovel ore pody. for TINS
property has been given and should
make it look very much better in
the eyes of investors, particularly
those who have knowledge of the
splendid results that have come from
this sort of mining in the district
through the operation of Nevada Con.
Aside from the stocks mentioned
the Ely list is quiet and inclined to
sag. Ely Central is looked to, how
ever, to move into the progressive
class again at anytime and on the
next movement should make ma
terial gain.

PAY DAY
WAS YESTERDAY
VETERAN LOSSES WILL BE
MADE UP BY INCREASES IN
OTHER QUARTERS-MORE OP-
ERATIyES ON AT McGIIL.

Notwithstanding inactivity at the
Veteran during the month, the pay
roll of the camp yesterday crowded
we'll across the 100000 mark and
with the pay rolls yet to come out
will go above $250,000.
The loss to the pay roll yesterday
by reason of Veteran was made up
in considerable part by increased
pay roll at Copper Flat and by adj
ditional operatives put on at McGill.
Some loss will occur there this month
through reduction in the construc-
ton force, the fourth unit now be-
ing finished. Increased operating
force. however, will make up for a
good deal of this.
Giroux will have a larger pay roll
this month as will also he~Nevada
Northern. Ely Central. Copper
mines, Boston Ely and several
other operating properties will also
help increase the disbursements.
Many people came to town last
evening from McGill and the mines
with pay day money and it is ex-
pected that trade the balance of the
week will be lively.

Mr.. DeGolyer says the district to-
day is considered by mining men
as being one of the greatest in the
world and does not consider 1t over
rated. While here ne has been
shown over the different properties

UNJUST TO THE
C|R0Ux PEOPLE
LAUNDERING GUESS WORK AND
DISTORTIONS OF EVENING
PAPER PUTS MANAGEMENT OF
COMPANY IN FALSE LIGHT.

According to the Expositor of last
evening the Giroux management viii
haul it's pres some ten or fifteen
miles into Steptoe Valley, which
would mean to East Ely, concentrate
them and then haul the. concentrates
back over the ten or fifteen miles
of road to a smelter at the mines
from whence the ore started TO the
mill.
Also, according to the same au-
thority, the management of the COM
pany has revised all its past plans
and methods of operation and will
plunge Immediately into the construc-
ton of smelter and concentration,
taking. a long shot. on these several
million dollar enterprises filling
needs of which the character is yet
to be learned.
A charitable view of the blunder-
ing garble which the evening organ
made in its attempt to work over
the story printed in the News yester-
day morning. suggests that there was
a brain storm blowing around the
esta blishment. Malice is not con-
sidered to have had part, but 1t is
nevertheless difficult to understand
how any of cOntrivance COM
ing under the head of human mind
might so completely distort a per-
fectly plain story.
All that has been decided upon by
the Giroux management with refer
ence to it's plans here was given In
the News yesterday morning. Abso-
lutely nothing more was given ont
by any member of the party for the
very good reason that absolutely
nothing more remained to give out.
The evening contortion had no in
terview with the gentlemen of the
party before their departure, no au-
thority of any kind to print any
thing and absolutely no knowledge
of what the visitors had decided
upon or not decided upon further
than appeared in the official state
ment secured from them by the
News Wednesday night. The even
ing paper simply guessed, stumbled
and bungled at every additional
surmise.
The Giroux management does not
expect to have its new shaft COM
pleted in. four months. wei under
way was the term used by the
directors. So far as they know. the
ground will not even be broken Ill
four months for their smelter, site
for which is yet to be chosen. A
great deal of work is ahead before
hey can intelligently go about the
plans for their reduction works, and
it is a certainty that these mining
people will go about it intelligently
or not at all.
The Giroux management has
given every possible evidence OF
frendlipess to the district and OF
wish ahd purpose to assist its pro-
gress in all possible ways and 1t is
certainly due these people that they
be either quoted correctly or not at
all. At the least they should not
be posed as fools, the light in which
the monstrosity of last night puts
them.

e. w. HULSE & co. LETTER.
The general tendency in the stock
market today was downward, all
classes of stocks being weak. In
dustrials and railroads again were
hit the hardest. The public is not
taking any interest in stocks at such
high prices, and before they will
be tempted back into the market
again prices will have to drop back.
The metal market was also very
quiet and consumers of metal are
not laying in any supplies for future
use. There is a good demand for
lead. Copper continues weak, owing
to the fact that more red metal
is being produced every month. Ne
vada Con. and Giroux . Were quite
strong; the balance were all weak
and inactive. Butte & Ely has been
slowly creeping upward for several
days Yesterday sales were round
$1.73 at the opening and $1.7S at
the close. Today the stock opened
at $3.50 bid and very little to be
had.
OF the copper metal and stock
situation, the Boston Financial News
saws in it's weekly review:
The strong feature in the copper
metal situation is the increasing de-
mand by consumers and if the a
ket had only to contend with offer
ings from producers, prices would
ha higher. The tact is, however,
that a great deal of copper bought
for speculative account is constant
" coming into the market and .op-
Grating to hold the price down.
This metal, however, as we'll as
the surplus in the hands OF pro-
ducers will o be used up, for It
is fair to assume that the vast m
movement in business condltlons gen.
orally will bring a very heavy gain
in the takings of copper by
tures. The settlement OF the tarin
question has a direct bearing on b
conner industry and all others
and is something which has been
looking forward to with considerable
anxiety for a long time past. Now
# has taken place, copper as we'll as
all other industries will respond with
greater rapidity to the influence or
n,a~enidcient crops and the brfnght
outlook for business generally. The
c0mnt6U0 TGSCOl III
Tho nlentfful supply of funds and
the growing boom in trade are lead

electric railways as we'll as to the
extension of telephone n telegraph
lines. electrifications of steam
and building operations IN Wncn cop
per is essential. Hence, tnere rs
every reason to look for the same
boom in the copper trade as there is
in the other important lines.
The past week a very similar
to the preceding one in the copper
share market, in that the early days
of the period were quiet with prices
tending to sag. The closing days OF
each week, however, we're very sim
liar to the general trend except that
the latter part of this week showed a
greater scarcity of stocks and a
more substantial rise than a week
ago. The encouraging feature of the
situation was that the strength was
