Why sir, it would take one whole
page to print all their names-the
other Dorns, Sharptons, Reardens,
Whatleys. Yes, if my arms were
long enough they could encircle
them all, and not feel bit ashamed
either, for l count them all as
friends, and miss them still, and
guess l will till l Craze longer in
my new pasture.
But / have the promise of pig
to barbecue uext summer (if we live)
with a lamb and probably mess of
fish, and then, if not before, some
of the above mentioned tribes will
Craze for day on the old mans
new pasture.
Don't hear much about cotton
planting yet, most too soon, but all
the fools are not dead yet, nor
won't be until there is a new deal
in the renting system.
How much lint cotton Mr.. B. do
you want for a one-horse farm?
Say twenty acres, 1000 pounds, sir.
All right, guess by planting is acres
in cotton / can make the rent if l
put all my Joanna on it. Do you
see the point? Why not say, SO
many bushels of corn,. so many
pounds hay, fodder, and 500 pounds
cotton. Why don't they rent that
way? o well, the fellow who owns
the land don't as general thing
have any use for anything but the
cotton, because it is money. 'Tis
Johnny on the Spot," see.
Those things will sooner or later
have to change. A question
which is best? For the large land
holder to cut up his acres into small
tracts, and sell them to some poor
white boy, who wants home, and
have his children or grandchildren
as the case may be, have as neigh
Dor one of the neighbor boys chill
dren for playmates, schoolmates, or
have some outlandish somebody
whom no one knows, to be playmate
or schoolmate? The sign post Is
pointing to trouble ahead if some
thing is not done to keep the farm
er boys from going to town. BY
letting him have a home and time
to pay for it, will in my opinion
solve serious problem which must
be solved soon, or the negro will
hold balance of power in the cotton
question. No one can make liv-
ing by planting all cotton, and the
negro is living all the same, at the
expense of somebody, and that
somebody may be an honest young
farmer boy who cannot own a home
because tits not for sale. 'Tis all
rented out, what is not sold out to
the Greeks and Rivers that take ii
to the Seas.
/ know that what / have written
will be taken other than I intended
it, but I am honest in my convic,
tions. If this all cotton rent is not
stopped and that soon, hard times
sure enough will be here, and then
what? / leave the answer to those
who may live to see it, as l may
not.

DIVIDEND FROM RAY
EARLY IN NEW YEAR
Affairs of Company Given
Analysis by Circles of
the East.

One closely Identified with tho Ray Con-
solldated company on his return east is
quoted TO the effect that the manage
mcnt at the property was very enthusi-
aStic over the manner In which opera
tions are being conducted. for they are
making better costs and a better aver
estimated at first could be done. He ex-
plains the heavy market action Of the
stock by the fact that there were 5000
stockholders of the Ray Central company
Solidated for each eight shares or their
Central, while the underwriters drew
down $4,000 shares OF the Consolidated
stock for having attended to tho Ray Cen
tral bonds. The absorption Of this stock
has mad ITS influence upon tho market
action Of the issue.
Consolidated company will be earning to
exceed $1,000. 600 per annum, and with no
moro than five OF it's eight ultimate con-
centrating sections in commission. The

There has never been a time i'm the
developmcnt OF the Ray property when
the management has felt AS optimistic re-
gardlng the future as they do at the
present time uhe concentration is now
giving entire satisfaction and the outlook
FOR low cost is better than ever before.
The management is confident that by mid
with but 1--WE units OF the plant

be reduced TO 81 cents per pound and
that at least an Scent cost will hc pos

Decrease in Carbon.

Al the other counties showed de-
creased production in 1911. and Carbon
county. by far the most important pro-
duccr, showed also "a slight decline In
price. Summit and Uintsh counties had
decreased tonnaceS but higher prices. In
addition TO being tho most important
coal-producinG county OF tho state Car
bon county is the only one in which coke
lS made. In 1911 a total of 3S1 1863 tons OF
coal, an increase OF 1l3, sol tons over 1910,
was made Into coke in Carbon county
Returns from mining companies repre- =
sentlnG over 80 per cent OF the total coal
production OF the state show that although
less than 3 per cent Of the output in 1911
was mined by machines the practice OF
shooting from the solid has not obtained n
strong footilold In Utah, Out OF o,25s gT9
shor, tons for which tho methods OF min
ing were reported, l.993,51i short tons
was undcrcut or shcarc0 by hand and 10 =
BOD tons mined by machines. The guam
tity shot OF the solid was 1922 15o short
tons. or about ~ per cent OF the total
output OF the state. In spite OF the srna III
proportion OF coal undercut by machines,
the average tonnage won by the miners is
considerably above the average hi
luminous production per man for the
United States.
Labor troubles arc not Of frequent oc-
currence In tho coal mines OF Utah, and
III this respect 1911 was consistent with
the rule. Only one suspension of worSll
hecdusc OF dissatisfaction with conditions
was reported. The miners affected were
idle but three days. The mines are prac-
ucalIy all worked eight hours a day

Two cars Of, first, ,class silver and lead

A total OF fourteen cars OF frst-cla ss

This phase OF the United States Smelt-

and Frederick Lyon, assistant managing
director OF this organization, who is now
IN salt Lake from his eastern headquar-
icrs was asked by The Tribune Tuesday
afternoon for a statement OF the facts in
tho matter.
II will be recalled that the United

ton az the MidYalc lead smelter of the
playhouse system, through which instalIa-
ton permission was granted by the courts
for the company TO resume lead Snclt-

The month Of April ar the Tonopah
mining district was a splendid one, the
two big leaders rcapinS far in excess

never was a timo either when as great
an amount OF deep development work
has been done as now, and results are
coming with a generosity that stamps
this mining camp as one of the VESTS

The Tonopah Mining company during
April treated 1882 dry tons of ore in
its mill. the average per ton value be-
ing S1o.S4. Out OF this ore total of
oe4,570 ounces OF gold and silver bull
lion was produced the gross value OF
which was s2l5.20o. Tho company also
shipped % tons OF concentrates from
the mill. the value OF which was S37, 500,
giving total gross operating receipts
wero $96,596, leaving net earnings for
the month of Sl56,20 This Is an In
