Anaconda Earnings,

From time to time there have an.
peared In different publications ar
ticles questioning whether the Ana.
conda Copper Mining Co. is earning
Its dividends. A thorough investiga.
tlon made on basis Of copper sell
ing at l21 cents pound is quite con.
vincing that the company is more
than earning 81 dividend on an
average production of 10000. 900 lbs.
month.
1t Is true that the company could
not pay dividends from its earnings
with copper at 121s cents 1s months
ago, but the merging Of the different
companies and the big reduction in
operating expenses through the use Of
electricity. the closing up of shafts
Nos. 2 and 3 and hoisting ore through
one shaft where formerly three were
used, together with the Capitalization
of the Office forces of the different
companies, means that the company
Is putting copper down in New York
considerably under 9 cents a pound.
Further investigation leads to the
conclusion that In months, with the
aid of other economies not yet fully
brought into force, the cost per pound
laid down in New York will be about
8 cents. It is an undisputed fact that
the mines of the district were never
more economically managed than they
are today and when all the properties
are hoisting ore by compressed all
produced by electric power a still
greater reduction in cost is certain.

Society, the secretary read a letter

Remedies for Cattle BIoating on
Clover or Alfalfa.

Remedies for bloat may be divid-
ed into two classes, preventive and
curative. OF the preventive meas
ures the only one upon which we can
place any great reliance is to have
the legume pasture so mixed with
other grasses that the bad effect of
the clover or alfalfa is counteraeted,
or where soiling crops are being fed
to allow the legume crop TO wilt be-
fore feeding. Other suggested meas
ures are keeping the cows off when
the feed is wet; starting them when
the growth is very small and thu
have the cattle used to II before they
can get enough to sustain them; CIV
Ing them access to dry hay; or put
ting on a bride with a straight bit
while the animals are grazing. All
Of the remedies work sometimes and
sometimes they do not. In the ir-
rigated sections the danger Is greater
than In the humid sections. probably
because the growth Is ranker and be-
cause there is nearly always less OF

Lets keep the peace If we can, dad.

essary to fight me and a thousand
times sorrter that I've got to fight you.
But I'll tell you here and now that
I'll never quit this state-this native
state Of mtne-untiI It has had at least
one decently clean election. I have
told Gantry to pass the word that I
shah show the railroad up If it doesn't
play fair, and I've got to hand the
same thing out TO you, dad. I don't
want to threaten, but It is only fair to
say that ] haven't been going about
with my eyes shut. Whether you have
authorized 1t or not. there Is a lot Of
crooked work going on. and If 1 am
driven to it 1 can print some things
that would change the political map of
this state so it won't be recognizable. %

had left the cafe the Hon. Senator
Sagebrush sat absently toying with his
