The Metal Markets.

Copper is quoted at the best figure in more than two years, the market quotation for standard copper being l4.25; lead 4 50; spelter 6.25, and silver 55 4, the highest in many years The impression prevails among mining and smelter men that all the metals will show an upward trend before sprin pens, especially lead, which has been beaten down by the Ameri- can interests during the past year. The building of the branch line of the Salt Lake railroad from Moapa 10 St. Thomas will have the effect of opening up large section of the country in northern Mohave county, the mines of which section have here tofore cen neglected on account of the distance from transportation lines. The Grand Gulch mines will be brought W thin forty miles of the rail road, while many mines in the Virgin range will he only from ten to twenty miles away. IL is the impression that the railroad will eventually cross the Colorado river at Bonelli Ferry and connect with the Western Railway of Arizona at Chloride, or run into Jerome. The completion of the line will open up great mineralized sec. tion, that part of the country being underlaid with salt, gypsum, gold, sill yer, lead copper. It would be the means of bringing to this county cheaper and better fuel from the coal mines of Uta and giving the miners of this ou ty market at the Salt Lake elterS.
 Eli Hilty returned last night from the Ruth mine, where he made an ex. ination the property. He re- ports that in the east drift from the 200 level the heading is now in the sa rich rade of ore that appeared on the 100 level. The ore body is of good width and the opening up of the ore shoot on this level is giving the management great encouragement. The property is showing itself to be one of the big things of the district. The mill is capable of handling a big tonnage of ore and the saving by the electro.cyanic process is above ninety per cent of the values.
 Jack Sanford, who recently discover . ed a rich vein of gold bearing ore in the upper part of IXL canyon, is in K,ngman. He has done quite a little work on the vein and is of the opinion that he has something worth while. The ore gives big results in the horn spoon and he has taken out some ex. cellent shipping ore.
 The Kampff brothers have part of their new mill on the ground at their mine in the Chemehuevis mountains, south of Fall Spring, and will soon have it at work crushing ore. The mines owned by these men are sad to have a splendid showing of ore running | in value to 50$ to the ton in gold.

RELIGION is HIS BUSINESS
Preacher Knows How 1t Should Be
Transacted and Does 1t Better
Than Others.

In this new movement it is inter-
esting to note the cavalier way in
which business men" give the preach
ers the back seat. 1t is as if these
committees said, "Now you clergymen
are the best Of fellows, but you are
ignorant of business methods. 1t is
high time religion and business prin-
ciples applied to it. All that is need
ed is to take right hold Of this thing,
the empty pew, and run it as we run
one of our corporations. Business is
business, and these pews can be
filled. A factory with good product
only needs business skill to get it's
product on the market Now watch
us do it,
| Now the preachers business is re-
ligion. Why not let him transact it?
He has transacted it up to this time.
For centuries he has been miserably
paid. He is often old and pensioned
with a pittance, and many Of the
business men" seem not to care.
The old-fashioned preacher, in his old
fashioned ways, gave this country a
good religious result That is the
way we seem to remember our faith
ers and mothers as we see them, in
adoring memory, sitting in the far
away pews. We donbt if business
men with business methods" la cor
poration, factory-running, double en-
try and money in the bank, will do
better
J 1t strikes us that religion applied to
business is more the need of the hour
than business applied to religion

Bunch of Feeders Ne airing Market Condition.

1t has been my observation during
several years experience handling
cattle on the market that many farm
ers and small feeders have made a
practice of buying feeder steers dur
ing the months of October and No
vember expecting to make a short
feed and put them on the market du
ing February or March. In the ma
jority Of years this manner of feeding
has been money loser for various
reasons. In the first place great
too light and thin to make good beef
with a short feed. These would not
sell at a great enough margin over
cost price The f1eshier and heavier
the steer when going on feed the high
er he will sell after short feed, and
in general the more will be the profit
gained on the advance of selling over
cost price. Many feeders make the
mistake of refusing to pay Is or 20
cents more for fleshier steers to start
with that will sell for so to rs cents
more after short feed.
Another reason for the losses is the
fact that in majority of years cattle
have been relatively high during the
fall. There has been generally an
abundance of grass in fall pastures
and meadows at this time which the
farmers were unwilling to let go to
waste To use it they have shut their
eyes and bought feeders, knowing that
they were high and that they could
not hold them longer than until Feb
ruary or March. This has been prac
ticed to so great an extent that in
most years our poorest cattle markets
have been during these two months
These feeders have been under the
combined handicap Of having bought
their cattle when everyone else was
buying, thus boosting up the price
then feeding through the winter wher
gains had to be put on with high
priced feed under unfavorable condi
tons and in the windup being forced
to sell on a mean market. 1t is nc
wonder that they lost money and were
sour on cattle feeding.

Is mich COW worth $500 for what
she can produce?
1t is more than likely that every
practical farmer in Iowa asks himself
that question every time he hears of
some fine haired dairy animal selling
for that price or more.
1t is more than likely, too, that he
will answer with an emphatic No."
as far as he is concerned.
The best way to get a reliable an
swer is to take an actual $500 COW
. owned by an actual man and get the
results of his actual experience with 1t
in dollars and cents I'll take such an
animal from the dairy farm of Judge
A. B. Quarton near Algona and tell
her story:
This COW began to produce when
she was two years old, and since that
time she has freshened four times
she was due to freshen again about
this time this year. This was her pro-
duction record, as far as l have it at

putting them on grass and feeding for
fall markets, have made good money.
In most years the man who has
bought growthy feeders of good quail
ity during the latter part Of winter
and has carried them through on fod-
der and hay until grass was good and
then fed them corn on grass during
the summer, marketing in the fall and
early winter, has been money maker.
He has made big gains on the cheap
est feed, corn on grass, and, on the
average, has had the best markets of
the year to sell on.
For handling in this manner it is
more profitable to buy thrifty steers
in thin condition as the feeder has
the advantage of cheap gains and
plenty of time to get them ready for
market. AS wise old English feeder
in Iowa used to say, Buy 'em thin
want 'em in good cart. but dom,

PARROT AS GERM CARRIER
Physician Finds the Bird Is Subject
to Disease Human Beings
May Contract.

Better not keep a parrot. A physi-
clan has discovered that birds of this
species are subject to disease called
psittacose, which is peculiarly con-
tagious, and may easily be contracted
by human beings. AS germ carrier,
in fact, the parrot is unrivaled.
Now the Office Window is not par
ticularly afraid of germs. They may
be quite as bad, quite as dangerous,
as they are represented. But what Is
the use of trying to get away from
them? We cannot eat, drink or
breathe without taking in germs. We
associate with them from morning till
night. They are bound to work their
will with us anyway-so we may as
well ignore them and have as good a
time as we can, before they get US.
But the Office Window is perfectly
willing to take advantage OF the
germs as an ally against the parrot
This preposterous bird has nothing
to recommend him except his unlike
ness to the bird species. He does not
sing, but squawks. He is regarded
as worthless unless he can talk" in
kind of harsh resemblance to hui
man speech. He is neither bird nor
human, he is disorderly episode In
creation. He CRATES on the poetic
soul. He is a nuisance.-New York

Wonderful NeWWaII Board
Attracts Attention

All who have seen II at LESLIE
SMITHS are compelled to acknowledge
that lath and plaster are behind the
times.
Plastergon is the name of this new
wall board and ii is so easy to see it's
economy and superiority tuat the demand
throughout the country is tremendous.
1t takes the place OF lath and plaster
in the building Of new houses of every
kind. and for remodeling rooms in old
homes nothing like 1t has ever been seen
before. Think of a wall board that
never breaks, cracks or wears out; that
anyone can put on; and once on 1t
repairs
It's guaranteed-that's one strong fea-
ture of Plastergon; its the only treated
wall board on the market; that's why it
is moisture and vermin proof. fire and
sound retarding.
Another remarkable thing about Plas-
tergon Wall Board is that II resists
heat and cold. That means, OF course.
that the rooms will be cooler in summer
and warmer in winter, and that's worth
considering with the price of coal where
ii will be the coming winter.
Plastergon comes in panels just the
proper size to suit any requirements and
designed to suit any room in the house.
1t is extensively used for partitions
for offices and to make extra rooms any,
where, because of its cheapness, dura-
bility and the quickness with which it
can be put up
Drop in and have Leslie Smith show
you this remarkable wall board. He will
get you complete panel designs for any
requirement free Of charge from the
