FINANCIAL PAPER ON
 A JAcKLiNe PROPERTY

BOSTON-Ray Consolidateds re gently issued report for the quarter ended March 31. 1915. gives promise of highly satisfactory operating results for the future.
 Compared with the last quarter of 1914 production increased nearly D. OOOOO0 pounds, or from 9,56S.OOO to 14,46S.O00 pounds. while net profit was S7S2.O0O. against S213.O00 Earnings for the first three months of this year were at the rate of S2 per share per annum with copper averaging but 14S cents per pound. or more than four cents per pound lower than the price now prevailing. Tn other words, Ray Consolidated operating considerably below normal and on low metal mar ket showed earning power m excess of the rate at which dividends-short- ly to be resumed-will be paid
 Cost of production In the quarter naturally was not as low as may be expected when the property gets back to its normal output of 75,OOO,O00 pounds of copper per annum. With this production Ray Consolidated should easily be able to produce for S1s cents per pound, on which basis with copper at its present level earn ings should be S75O0,0O0 per annum, or S4.50 per share on it's stock
 This is the company's immediate provided the price of cop per remains at its present level Fu- ture plans for Ray Consolidated-an the time is not far distant when im- portant changes will be made in the methods of treating its ores-are ex- pected materially to increase recover ies and output and decrease costs. With these changes completed, Ray Consolidated should be able to show an earning capacity much In excess of heretofore possible.-(Bo ton News-Bureau)

 zug Goes To Camp
 For the purpose of looking over the Toloyana camp and determining for himself the outlook there, MT. Zug left for the new camp last Friday morning. On the day previous. he sent Clyde Geraghty, representative of the commission. to inspect one or more of the proposed routes to the Tolovana.
 At the meeting of the Commercial Club it was decided that the selection of a route to the Toloyana should be made by the Alaskan Road commiss- ion end chat what money is raised by subscription for the purpose Of build ing the road should be turned over Go the commission to be expended by it.
 lf Mr. Zug finds that the camp is as promising as 1t is represented to be. he will. according to what he in mated at the meeting. send men to inspect the various routes and to choose the one to be buiit. If the Road Commission accepts the plan of providing S1O.0O0 for the road this year. to be used in conjunction with S5.o00 to be subscribed by the mer- chants of Fairbanks lt is quite cer- tain that work on the road will start as soon as the route is selected.
 There is little in excess of S11,- 900 due each division rom the forest reserve funds. and this is to be used largely for road Improvement It is| expected that some of t6is will be available for the proposed road to the Tolovana.-( Fairbanks Citizenl

BUILDERS OPTIMISTIC
 FOR A SUMMER BOOM


 While there are a number of dwell ling houses and business buildings under construction in various sec tions of the city it is true that build. ing activity in matter Of volume, has not measured up to what architects and contractors thought 1t would be at this season of the year
 There is comparatively little local work in the hands of the Juneau con tractors so there is nothing to indi. cate that a great number of buildings will be put under way within the next few weeks.
 The architects, however are opti- mistic, and express the belief that business will assume more extensive proportions within Che next two months. If their optimism is based on reasonable grounds, it would be al- most safe Co say that scores of build ings not now in sight will have been completed by the time the cold weath- CT sets in.
 But, notwithstanding the fact that there is a scarcity of work in the architectural studies, there are many houses being built now, and very few building tradesmen are out of em- ployment These buildings are locat- ed in various parts of the city and some of them are about completed and ready for occupancy

WAYSIDE FARM NOTES.

Any radical change in feeding should
be done gradually and with care
No well bred farmer ever contents
himself with scrub stock or poor crops.
Corn has long been king In this coun-
try, and at last he has found his
throne in the silo.
Use rock salt around the stable, keep
Ing piece the size of an apple in each
grain box for the horses.
It's a long road from the farmers
field to the consumers table, and many
middlemen add their toll along the
way.
It is much easier TO put a bushel of
ensilage in the manger than to hitch
up the team and go into the fields to
draw green forage for the cows.
The breeder who multiplies defects
and perpetuates scrubby pedigreed
stock is a worse menace to the dairy
business than the man who keeps
scrubs under their true colors.

Horneo Pirates.

Brunei, Borneo, is one Of the strang
est cities IL the world. Once the
headquarters OF the Borneo pirates, il
is kind OF eastern Venice, being
built entirely over the water This
remarkable city is the capital of the
state of Brunei, Borneo. All the
houses are built over the River Lin
bang, constructed On slender piles
made from the Nibong palm, a wood
that resists the action of water for
many years. The Inhabitants OF
Brunei are Malays, Kadayans, Orang.
Buskits, and few Muruts. They
earn their living mostly by trading
with other tribes in the interior Of
Sarawak and British North Borneo.
Some of them are very skillful brass
workers, and the Brunei women make
beautiful cloth, interviewer and en-
broidered with gold thread. Sage Is
grown in the valleys near by, and a
small quantity of rice is also raised
In the early part of the nineteenth
century Brunei was the rendezvous of
the dread Borneo pirates, and mar
ket for the slave trade.-Wide World

trees, producing 24,000,000 pounds OF
nuts. Besides this, over 100000 more
trees will soon be bearing.
Wide awake Oregon copies California
and now has 10000 bearing trees, with
10000 more growing as fast as they
can. Mississippi, the third walnut
state, is far behind, with only 5000
English walnut trees all told. So you
can see that none of the states where
English walnut growing started made
anything at all out of the business
compared with the westerners. The
markets, too, are good, for even with
the increased production the average
yield in California for ten years back
has been 5000 tons short of importa-
lions.
English walnuts are regarded by the
California development board as a line
of farming "where the production is
regular and the returns good" Tire
average price to the grower for the
past ten years has been $500 a ton, or
10 cents pound.
The trees require rich soil, plenty of
moisture and moderate climate. Some
of. the hardest English walnut trees
on the Atlantic coast are found as far
north as Massachusetts. From New Jer-
sey southwark the business has COM
mercial possibilities. Choosing suita-
BILE varieties cannot be emphasized too
strongly. The new kinds lately de-
veloped may do well where other kinds
have in the past failed entirely. AS
with corn and peaches, which years
ago were considered only southern
crops, English walnuts may with care
be grown in middle attitudes.
They graft readily ON black walnut
stocks, and such trees are claimed by
trustworthy authorities to yield more
abundantly and also stand the winter
better than those grown on English
walnut stock. Maryland has about 100
English walnut trees, according to Mr..
G. p. Close of the experiment station
of that state.
He asserts that the quality is good,
and one tree fifty years old has pro-
duced from three to ten Bushels of
nuts per year for the last thirty years.
The station has purchased 1000 Eng
fish walnut trees, which are to be used
for experimental purposes.
