BUTTER IS GOING UP;
EGGS REMAIN SANE

Conditions underlying the wholesale
market at the close of business yester-
day gave a pretty good idea of what
may be expected Of the market this
week.
To start with. butter is not likely to
become any cheaper. On the contrary,
il may become higher. Receipts are
decreasing rapidly, and a good demand,
SPECULATIVE as well as cOnsumptive. eX-
lists BY the canons of reasoning the
Washington h0usekeeper will have TO
pay the same, If not more, for butter
as last week
As to live stock. there is every proba-
bility that the general disposition on
the part Of shippers to get their stock
into the market as rapidly as possible
viii be continued This Is largely be-
cause of dry weather and the manner
in which II is affecting pastures.
Coupled with the dullness Of Tridsum-
mer demand. prices on both laTlbs and
calves should experience difficulty in
getting over a seven and one-half cent
maximum quotation during the week.
There should be no material change
on eggs. Fancy stock gives every in
dication of continuing firm. Cheese
should likewise remain firm. Arrivals
Of chickens promise to become constant
/ ly heavier, so that, in all probability a
/ seventeen to nineteen cent quotation on
the best stock viii prevail again this
week

Plans For Prison Are; Complete

State Engineer Nicholas has finished
his plans for the new state prison and
his report is now being shaped up to
present to the board this week:
1t will be one of the most exhaustive
reports ever made to u board of prison
commissioners and will include the
data gathered back east last spring
when Nicholas and Attorney General
Stoddard visited all the leading prisons,
federal and state. in the country, in
search for ideas for incorporation into
the new prison for Nevada.
In their judgment the model prison
in the United States is the one at
Rikers Island, in New York Harbor,
on East River. This prison cost
trifie over 100000 and is yet to be
completed.
The new prison for Nevada will be
modelled more nearly after that at
Riker's Island than any other. The
Nevada prison will contain features
that are needed here and that would
not be put into use back east on account
of the limits of the site on which it is
located.
The new prison will be built largely
of cement. The walls will be of con-
crete as we'll us the roofs. Reinforced
steel trusses and steel girders will be
used and will be built to accommodate
300 inmates. absolutely fire proof and
and ofsuch obstruction that it will be
impossible for prisoners to escape from
it. It will be built so that it can be
enlarged us FIST as needed with very
little additional cost to the state.
The buildings will be of such size and
architectural shape that they will form
a harmonious part of the landscape and
will, Us far as appearances go, be with
out the usual unsightly prison features.
The interior will be SO arranged that
graded prisoners may he handled. The
style will be of the so-called Mission
architecture.
The State Engineer regards the sec
ond best prison in the country that at
r Lhway, N. j., the cost of which was
about 100000.
The board Of prison commissioners
will meet this week and go over the
plans and reports of the state engineer
and probably decide on the site for the
new buildings and start work that
has been needed badly for many years
and will be done in such manner that
necessity shall not arise for additional
large expenditure for a quarter of u
century to come.-Carson Appeal.

SMELLING WITH OIL FUEL
DESTROYS COPPER FUMES

Los Angeles, June l0.-About 100
mining men and oil operators witness
ed a demonstration yesterday after
noon of the Kelly process of smelling
with oil in a specially constructed fur
mace at the plant, Avenue Thirty
three and Andrew street, of George M.
Babcock, who has been associated with
the inventor in bringing his process
to a state of efficiency.
The furnace was placed in operation
at 1:I5 O'Clock and was shut down at
$3.50, copper ore being used. The total
weight of the charge was 240O pounds
and about 800 pounds of copper pig
was produced. Seventy-ive gallons of
oil and $50 gallons of water were used.
The pig was declared practically
pure copper and the Stag seemed to
be entirely without value. Exact in
formation on these points will be
given later in a report by an assayer.
A matter Of much Importance was
the entire elimination of copper fumes,
and, it is declared, this will result un-
der all conditions of operation OF the
furnace.
