COTTON PLANTERS IN.
CONE DOUBLED IN
LAST FIVE YEARS.
SAYS BUREAU.

Washington, June 12.-Th,
cotton crop of 1910 was an
nounced to-day to be the mos
valuable ever produced in tn
United States.
Estimated in the Census Blu
reau's annual bulletin, the crol
last year was valued at 1868, $50,
900, compared with 1912, O19, 00(
for 1909.
In the last five years the cot
ton planter who has had the sta.
pie to sell has more than doubled
his income, bale for bale. Every
State producing cotton, other
than Louisiana and Texas, last
year ginned more bales per gin
than in 1905.
Goaded into action by the
criticisms of Representative Bur
Lesson Of Texas, the bureau hur-
ried out its figures on the subject
of the fve-year period produc-
ton. AS to the good fortune of
the planter who has had cotton
to sell, the report says:
The value of the crops of the
fve-year period ending with 1910
is So, 879. 10, 900, while the value
of the fve-year period ending
with 1899 is 81, 529, 500, 600. Dur
ing the last five years, the price
of lint cotton has averaged about
IL cents per pound, or about $50
per bale, and the value of the
cotton seed has increased from
$3.50 per ton in 1906 to $27. 40
per ton in 1910.
The value of a 500-pound bale
of cotton, including the value of
the seed, was $87. Is this season,
compared with $5O.37 for 1906,
and with $30.26 in 1898. To the

FAMILY ENOUGH.

Horace, , years old. has a brother and sister 3, and with his father and mother he deemed this family large enough. When. therefore. he was told by his aunt that little baby was to be added to the family, he protest ed:
 'I think papa and mamma might better spend their money for more strawberries and powdered sugar for me" he observed, indignantly.
 On a certain day a doctor came tO the house and Horace thought he knew what that meant. His spirit of revolt nearly got the better of him. when a second doctor came.
 A few hours later. after the doctors had departed, his aunt Ella told him he had new little brother. Horace frightened. and tiptoed to his mothers room. Its all right, mamma" he as sured her, There's only one"

NEW PROCESS FOR
 B|SBEE-SONORA MINE
Huff EIcctrolytic Process Will Over
 come Presence of Borita in Ores.

On his way to Cananea, Sonora. where he will install a system of the Huff electrolytic process for the cv- traction of values from ore, Frank L. McGregor. a prominent metalurgical engineer of Boston. passed through Arizona early in the week
 The ore in the BiSbcc- Sonora mine is high in zinc, but for all practical purposes it has been rendered worth less by high per cent of borita or borium sulphatc, and it was for the purpose of learning the applicability of the Huff process to their ores that the directors of the company em- ployed Mir McGregor.
 By the new process, after the ore has been run through the concentra- tor. which leave sthc zinc along with the barita, it is then passed through solution of copper sulphate which causes the zinc to be coated micro scopically with copper After being again passed through another one of the Huff machines and thoroughly dried the process picks the zinc out and deposits it in a pile while the barita is run into the dump.
 The mine sheet of this company was submitted to Mir. McGregor s.v- eral months ago. It has been diff cult and tedious proposition to study out a process that woul dtakc care of the barita in this ore and at the same time be cheap enough to make it prac- ticable. He believes this process sol yes the difficulty most admirably

WHAT HE WANTED.

A Bostonian. who has done consid- erable missionary work in the Far East. not long ago addressed Bible meeting in a church of that city, on which occasion he spoke of the ad- ventures. as well as the work. of the missionaries in that quarter, says Har- per's Magazine.
 There was one youngster in the audience, a lad of F, who had been brought to the meeting by his father. II was with considerable surprise and qualification that the missionary ob- served. when his discourse had been finished and he had asked whether anyone had any questions to put. that the aforesaid youngster evinced dis position to make an inquiry.
 Come. my lad" said the missionary speak up. If there is anything l haven't made clear, tell me"
 "Oh, everything is clear to me-" said the boy. What I wanted to know is have you any foreign stamps you can give a fellow?"
