Not Even One Claim Worked Out.

The Clifton Morenci mining district has been producing copper for more than thirty years, during which time there has been au enormous amount of ore extracted from the mines and hundreds of million tons of copper pro duced, and yet it is a fact that no enough ore has been extracted to eX haust one claim to a depth of 400 feet. This statement at first glance seems like wild one, but when it is consid- cred that full claim is 6O0xl500 feet and then figure cube yards at 400 feet depth it will take a great many mil lions of tons of ore to make hole this size. In the summing up the perman- ency of the Clifton Morenci district the above statement will convince the mining interests at glance that this district is practically untouched and as long as copper sells at a reasonably high figure copper will continue to come from the Clifton-Morenci district in unlimited quantity. There are hundreds of mining claims here which will eventually be producers, and it will yet take us several moons to complete the hole referred to above. Copper Era.

Harry Armstrong, general manager of the New England and Clifton cop- per company, returned home Tuesday evening from an extended visit to Maine, Boston and New York, where he met with the stockholders and officers of the company. He was met at Houston, Texas, by his wife who returned home with him. Mir. Arm strong reports that when he first reached Maine he fonnd the larger stockholders of the company discour- aged and almost willing to sell the property for the bid which was offered which was sufficient to clear all in debtedness, but after reporting the condition and possibilities of the mines. he was able to convince them of the value of the property and they decided that with proper management and development it could yet be made a great success. Owing to the fact | MT. Armstrong had been connected with the company's mines for some time he was able to give the stock holders some valuable information in connection with the properties. T e

Calumet & Arizona has made good in fine way. It has paid nearly H. GOO, 900 in dividends and has a lot of copper yet unmined. Its territory is limited true, but it is really wonder ful how much can sometimes be taken from a small tract of ground. The ores have been rich, which has helped, and the precious metal values have also been important. The Oliver shaft of the company has developed rich ground during the year, and the Irish Mag shaft is still in commission. The Courtland claims of the company are still undergoing exploration, but it is yet too early to claim a perma- nent mine at that location. The Cal umet and Arizona has repaid its capi- tai stock many times and is still good for dIvidends.-Iron Ore.

A FOREST DESTROYER.

You do not know the turpentine
tappers, but if you come to Florida
you will find them OUT writes E. P.
Powell in the Outing for February
TT is a curious business that will de-
iberately destroy all the forests of a
half dozen states, for a little imme-
date gain; and still more curious is
the lassitude that allows the destruc-
ton to go on. The French have a
method of tapping trees which gives
a profitable return and leaves the
trees practically uninjured. In this
way an industry is perpetuated, but
our American tapping is another
thing.
THE trees are cut with broad ak,
hewing out great slices and leaving
scars from which the resin flows into
boxes at the bottom of the cut and is
scraped once a month into casks. The
cut is repeated each year, and in six
or seven years the tree is exhausted.
So go great forests of pine that stand
eighty to one hundred feet high, leav-
ing us thousands of acres of standing
lumber which will be cut down by
portable sawmills. The end of it all
is haggard waste

this rainfall has been helped on it's
way by the cultivation of the fields,
by putting the earth in such a condi-
ton that it will retain water and per-
nit of its evaporation to the clouds to
come back again in the form of more
rain. And if the cultivation of land
and the planting of trees here and there
will do this much. it is only reasonable
to. believe that a material forestration

PROFESSOR MooRE,s FALLACY.

Willis L. NJ ore. chief of the United
States weather bureau, has again given
voice to his peculiar theories that there
is no relation between the denudation
of forests and the precipitation of rains
or foods or drouth. He insists that the
high waters are not higher and the
low waters are not lower than for
rnerly nor are there floods of greater
frequency and longer duration than
formerly.
Unusual ideas. of course, are to be
expected from man who makes it
business of trying to prognosticate
the weather. but that is no good rea-
son why they should be exploited be-
fore the people and permitted to pass
unchallenged. 1t will be remembered
that on another occasion when Profess
sor Moore-it is believed that he is a
professor of something or other-ex-
pressed these sentiments he was an
swered by Mr.. Coburn. secretary of the
Kansas department of agriculture, in
way that was convincing and iIIumi-
mating
There is no need of INDUCING in a
dissertation on the right or the wrong
of the purely theoretical side of Pro-
lessor Moore's argument. Sufficient
ought it to be to say that Clifford Pin
chot and all other experts in the prem
ises take a Numerically opposite view
en- them. But there are facts in the
premises which no theories of Mr..
Moore will shunt out of the way.
Among the older inhabitants of this
particular section of the country, every
thing that Mr. Moore has said will oc-
casion a laugh. They know from ex-
perience that in many sections of Kan
sas the rainfall each year now and
the additional floods which are caused
by it are greater by far than they
were in the years gone by. 1t is not

THE MEAT BOYCOTT.

Boycotting the eating of meat for
period of thirty to sixty days with the
hope that such action will force down
the price of that staple on the family
bill Of fare is spreading like wild fire
over the entire country. 1t started
with the laboring men of Cleveland,
Ohio. and has been taken up by all
classes of people in various cities all
over the country, in the east and west,
the south as well as the north. There
| is no telling how extensive the move
ment will become. how vigorously 1t
will be prosecuted and just what will be
the result.
That it will cure the evils aimed at,
though, is not the opinion of economists.
If, when this boycott is lifted, the con-
sumption of meat is resumed at the
rate that has prevailed before the pro-
ceeding was instituted, it is reasonably
certain that the prices of meat Will
soon attain the figures that have pre-
vailed recently. There is no doubt that
if all the meat eaters in any one city
or community cease eating meat for a
period of sixty days, or better, If most
of the people in one place do this, the
price of meat for the time being Will
drop Materially in that particular 10
cality If it doesn't it will mean that
most of the butchers have closed up
their shops and are waiting for the
boycott to be lifted, for no butcher is
going to keep a lot of meat on hand and
run the risk of it's spelling by holding IL
at prices that people will not pay.
But when these boycotts are finally
lifted. the old conditions will soon be
resumed again unless a considerable
portion of the boycotters give up the
eating Of meat entirely, having found
that they can get along very we'll with
out it. In this particular the boycott
may confer considerable of a blessing
on consumers. Most of them have con-
tracted the habit of eating more meat
than they need. And if they find by
experience that they can get along very
well without so much of it as they
have been accustomed to, they will buy
less meat in the future This will not
only save them a considerable sum of
money on their market bills, but it
will also tend to make the supply of
meat go further, and that would have
tendency to reduce its price.
Back of all the high prices of the
present day, regardless of the big prof
preparation and sale of foodstuffs, is an
undeniable fact that the production of
foodstuffs in this and other countries
has not kept abreast Of the increases
in population. That is especially true
Of the United States and Of the last
year more than any which have gone
before it. James J. Hill. President
Waters of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and other discerning eco
nomists have been pointing this fact
out of late. 1t was only the other day
that Mr.. Waters said: THE yield of
foodstuffs will need to be doubled
within the next generation
AS long as the supply of foodstuffs
does not keep pace with the demand the
prices of them are going to be high, re-
gardless of boycotts or any other SINH
lar remedy. Such efforts to lower
prices will only have a temporary eff
feet at best. and then only for the
benefit of the people who are not par
ticipating in them.
