Copper Taiings Garry
 Millions Problem to Save.

There are hundreds of millions of dollars of metal values in the talling dun ps of the large mines of the cOun- try, which strenuous efforts will be and are being made to regain.
 The Calumet X Hecla is in the van to make practical demonstration of ability to recover under more modern metallurgical talent many million dol lars of values on their old sands, but the character of their ores makes their problem less difficult than in any other known situation. There are probably l0O,OoO.O00 tons of old tail ings at the Lake, containing all the way from lJ to 40 lbs. of copper per ton, which will be reworked.
 The high cost of reworking old tail ings owing to the comparatively small values in the ores, has been prohibit ed heretofore: but many experiments are being worked out all over the country with this end in view, princi- pally along the line of leading of the ores.
 There have been many costly ex- periments made which have ended in failure. The most recent notable ex- ample is the so-called Bradley process After an expenditure of about 750, ,000S in New Jersey in experiments a plant was erected at AnacOnda to treat the Anaconda Co. shines and after over a year of experiments and an expendi- has been shut down and the experi- ments abandoned.
 The Anaconda Co. has 1000, 900 tons of shines which will average ? per cent copper, besides precious metal values and about l5,OOO.OO0 tons of tailings averaging 5-S of per cent copper of total value of over 53,OOO,- 000S gross, The company itself is understood to be experimenting with a leading process with view to re- treating these shines and tails. The Nevada Consolidated has paid II 1000, ,OO0S in dividends to it's stock holders, but has had to let lS,0 0,000S of values go to waste in it's taillngs and is adding to these lost values at the rate of 300,O00S month. The Utah Copper Co. has likewise lost millions in the same way.
 The question of better mill eX- traction, and the recovery of these lost millions in old mill tailings, is the big question upon which the metal ing.-News Bulletin.

DEAD ONES

Dead men are only fit to inhabit
cemeteries. If they a,e decently
dead, dead all over, we tenderly
lay them away in the sleep of the
tomb; but if they are dead to all
enterprises out of the narrow
plane of their own interests, and
yet persist in walking around, NOV
ing their dry bones, caloused hearts
and consclences where real business
is wont to throb and pulse with
vigor, they are only like the drone
bees, in the way until they are
stung to death and dragged outside
the hive of legitimate industry.
Twenty real live men are worth
more to the public generally than
a round full thousand of useless ma
terial that lies around like rubbish
in rising stream that is aching
and foaming to turn mills and fac
tories. Yes, live men bless, and
dead men curse u town.-Sisson

pupils slight tho work they most
need because they ike it least. Hav-
ing shirked the studies which have

this lopsidedness by refraining from

THIS HEN LAYS FLAT EGGS

If in the. days of Columbus all
the eggs had been like those laid
by one of six Black Minorcas own
ed by Hugh ]. Leetimore of al
Clinton street, Newtown, N. j.,
the great discoverer would never
have been able to do that famous
egg trick.
And the reason is that one of
Lettimore's six Minorcas lays an
egg that is perfectly fiat a. one
end and may easily be set upright.
Except for this the egg is like any
other bit of hen fruit. ..
But which one of the sextet con-
tributes the flat-ended egg is a mys-
terry. The first egg was found a
week ago. Lettimore who says
none has access to the coop except
himself, has watched very closely
to see which one of the hens pro-
duces the freak, but his vigil is in
vain. Even using a trap nest has
failed, as the hen makes her nest
after the manner of the ostrich.
The freak is attracting much atten-
ton from the poultry men of New

DISTRICT COURT ADJOURNED

The district court adjourned
without date this forenoon and the
jurors in attendance were discharg-
ed. The civil cases were all con-
tinuej until tie next term of court.
According to one Of the Jurors,
this was done because the attorneys
were afraid that no yerdctis would
be found by the jurors composing
the panel. This may or may not
be true, but the fact remains that
only two verdicts were found by
the jury in criminal cases and these
were acquittals. They seemed to
be the contrariest lot of jurors that
ever did duty in Elko county.
The result of the term of court
so far as criminal business is con-
cerned is nil. There were 40 con-
victions and but two acquittsls.
In the Huber, Bird and McComh
cases and the first trial of Mat
thews. the juries disagreed. While
the result of the criminal trials
shows nothing for the state, the ex
pense to the taxpayers has been
heavy. Delay followed delay, but
the expense never stopped.

wrong with the methods of con
Quoting court business. Too much
