OWE DEBT TO THE BEAVER
Good Work Done by Industrious Little
Animal Has Not Been Sufficiently
Recognized.

The men who fought the Indians
in the early days of the republic and
later fought the Indians and British
combined have several times recorded
their gratitude for that great engineer
whose scientific name Is Castor can.
adensis. and whose everyday name is
beaver. He was builder of dams to
such excellent purpose, this Castor,
that the water Of creeks was held
back, flow OF summer streams was
checked and lakes were made of
brooks. By means of these works.
meager and fluctuating waterways
were rendered navigable and troops
and supplies we're transported quickly
and easily.
But the beavers fine coat caused
the gratitude toward him to be re-
duced TO an impracticable sentiment.
lrappers soon made him a creature
rare and furtive in this part of the
country. His skin became the cur
rency of trade. He was the eouiva-
lent of flour and sugar and calico and
powder and lead. In ten years, the
TWO big fur companies of the United
States and Canada received l.510. 900
beaver skins, and the kill even at
this time averages $4,000 per annum.
nevertheless Castor is regaining some
OF his lost ground. Because of strict
trapping laws, he is multiplying in
numbers in the forest and swamp dis
tricts to the north Of Lake Superior,
and in parts of northern Michigan
there are thriving families.
II hunters will let the beaver alone,
or be a little temperate In their
shooting, and farmers will not break
down his dams. he might come back
even to Ohio. Considering the big
part the little animal has played in
winning and settling and bringing ma.
terial blessings to the middle West
IL would be only fair and decent n
give him show If he did decide to re-
turn to his home country.-Toledo

COPPER COSTS AVID
EARNINGS FOR 1878

We give below in tabulated form the
estimated production. cost per pound
and earnings per share for 1913 for some
of the most important copper compa-
MES, says the Boston News Letter.
Fairly close approximations of the cop
per productions obtained during the year
can be made. IN the case of costs on
those companies which publish quarterly
reports, i, is possible 10 arrive with some
degree OF accuracy at the cost per pound.
In others, however, rough estimates are
given for the year.
AS result OF the long continued strike
at the Michigan mines, which resulted
In larger number OF properties being
shut down. figures on these mines have
been omitted. Production figures are
available, but to arrive at even close
approximation of the cost for the year
would be an exceedingly difficult mat
ter.
The tabuleted results given below are
based on the productions and costs shown
and on the assumption that the compa-
MES sold their copper at the average
price for the year, namely, 15.269 cents
per pound

SURPRISED At WORK
IN RICO-N WELLINGTON
Utah Men Have Made of
Doubtful Mine a Good
Producer.

An engineer who recently made a trip
over the property OF the Rico-Welling-
ton at Rico. Colo, expresses surprise at
the amount OF development work done
and the extent and quality OF the equip
mcnt.
He IS quoted as saying that the aerial
tramwaS between the mine and the rail-
road station which is $500 feet in length,
easily loads a fifty-ton car OF ore dur
Ing the eight hours OF It's operation. This
tramway starts from the mouth OF the
Wellington tunnel, where the company
has most OF It's equipment installed, In
Guiding a gasoline engine and compressor
for providing power and air for the In
terror workings. Another gasoline hoist
has been installed at a point 1000 feet
IN from the portal Of the tunnel, and a
winze has been sunk from the tunne!
level from which the ore is raised by
this hoist.
In the crosscur from the main tunnel
level to the north there is exposed two
Immense bodies of orc that averages I
per cent copper. These deposits also
carry good values IN silver and lead
and In places these veins show twelve
feet in thickness. The extraction from
these deposits is made almost entirely by
pick and shovel, the ore breaks easily,
y large tonnage has been placed in sight
IN this section OF the property. sufficient
TO provide regular extraction for a
long time.
The mana cement is or the opinion
that these ore deposits will bc followed
some distance TO the east where II Is
expected that the main flssure viii be
cut When this flssure is tapped II is
expected that tho deposit of ore will be
found large and possibly OF a higher
grade. In addition to these deposits,
there Is lot of low grade ore devel-
oped. which the management expects 10
be able TO treat at q good profit.
