Plain Letter. Won. We had a
good year. Off of 65 acres, oats and
wheat, / got over $500 bushels of
wheat and oats. Oats went here from
SO to 100 bushels per acre, and wheat
from Is to 50 per acre. Just see me
being here one year and have over 700
bushels of wheat. 1t is now over $1.O0

of potatoes off an acre and a good
garden last summer, fine celery and
1000 bushels of wheat, and sold over
$500 of hogs and 1000 bushels of oats.
This is great country. If you should
tell the people Of Toledo of this it
would get some of them thinking. The
soil is rich black loan, and pleas

flowing we'll with soft water. It is
the best water in the country. Some
people think they got to go to war

We are well enjoying the West.

FIRST DREDGE.

Designed to Raise the Gravel From

The first dredge boat for gold built
in the west was on the Feather river,
near oroville, in the summer of 1879.
It was not paying investment nor a
mechanical success. The boat was go

gravel was elevated by creating a
vacuum in stand pipe connected
with a tube the lower end of which

jet of steam into the stand pipe and
then a stream of cold water to con-
dense the steam. The tube was rails

COPPER IN THE EAST
ATTRACTS INVESTORS
ENORMOUS RETURNS ON SMALL
INVESTMENTS IN COP
PER SHARES.
Denver Mining Record)

New York financiers and profession
al traders are imbued with cynicism
regarding all things mundane and
many things spiritual, but they have
at last reached the conclusion that
copper shares are something more
than mere ornate certificates desirable
only for speculative purposes, and to
be raised or lowered in price regard
less of intrinsic values. New York
investors now realize that coppers are
a long-lived, conservative investment,
netting very attractive interest re-
turns, and these men are buying the
shares accordingly.
When the New Yorker makes up his
mind that an investment proposition is
meritorious he is prone to back his
judgment to the limit and invest in a
big way. His entry into the copper
share market therefore, is important.
Utah Copper.
To invest a million dollars in sin
gle enterprise requires some courage,
even if the investor is more than
passing rich, Yet, few days ago, a
New York man did not hesitate to
buy 10000 shares of Utah Copper on
the New York stock exchange, in the
open market, at sos per share, or a
total of $1,OS0,000. This is only one
example tending to show the strong
drift of sentiment in favor of coppers
Several years ago a block of 5000
shares of Utah Copper was traded for
a residence that stands today in Salt
Lake City, the trade being made on a
basis of S. per share, or $25, 900 for the
dwelling. The same shares now are
valued at $4,000. showing the amaz-
ing possibilities of copper stock in
vestments.
Jaokline's Wealth.
The Utah Copper company is known
as one of Jacklings properties be-
cause its affairs are largely dominated
by Colonel d. C. Jackling, who con-
trolls a number of exceedingly profit
able mining companies. Colonel
Jackling started his career as a very
poor man, while today he is rated as a
multi millionaire, all of his wealth
having been amassed in legitimate
mining.
There are now 100000 shares OF
Utah Copper issued and at present
market prices these have cash val
uation of around $175,OOO,OOO. An in
vestment that pays as this copper en-
terprise has paid makes the and 6
per cent offerings of so-called invest
ment bankers seem absurd and puer-
lie, No wonder these brokers become
ill-natured when trying to peddle
their wares in the face of COMPETE
ton they can not meet; no wonder
they bitterly inveigh against all min
ing stock as delusion and a snare
But investors nowadays are like the
querulous man from Missouri and
insist upon being shown; they lis
ten to the investment bankers with
plying and reproving smles--and af-
ter listening they invest in mining
shares

AIaska's Natural Submarines.

The channels of the Alaskan water.
ways vary as you sail on to the north
ward. Now they widen into great
lakes. now they are rivers as narrow
as the Hudson or Rhine. At times
you pass through gorges walled by is
lands and the mainland, and at times
you are in fiords like those formed by
the half-sunken Andes along western
Patagonia near the Strait of Magellan
This part of our territory is made up
of the heads of submerged mountains
and in places there are great rocks as
steep, as high, and as sharp as the
Washington monument, which come
within twenty or thirty feet of the
surface. These are the terrible pin
nacle rocks that rip open the hulls of
the steamers. They are now being

dimes. quarter, nickel and a cou.
pie of pennies.
The girl studied the wretched little
heap and fell into dreamy spell of
thought. Then she picked up the eve
ming newspaper. Maurice noticed that
she scanned the column devoted to
board and lodgings. 1t was among the
briefer advertisements that she sought
some cheap rate that she could hope
to pay.
The quest seemed hopeless. The
girl looked out at the rain and she
shivered. A scared look had come into
her face. She took up her empty tum-
bier to fill it at the water cooler
twenty feet away.
For moment only her back was
turned to the table where she had
left her little purse. That was time
sufficient, however, for Maurice to
speed across the aisle, open the purse,
slip in a twenty-dollar bill, reclose
the purse and regain his seat.
The girl returned to the table, but
did not sit down again. She slowly
drew on her faded, well-patched
gloves, turned up the collar of her
coat and walked towards the cashiers
desk, a dull despair in her tired eyes.
Matrices back was toward her. He
hoped the episode would end with no
investigation. He turned at a quick
rustic at his side The girl faced him
challengingly.
1t could be only you" she spoke,
her voice full of tears, "who-who-"
Sought to ease your hard way for
the sake of dead sister, who babe
me never turn from a woman in dis
tress. Forget the incident and me"
spoke Maurice in a clear, manly
fashion.
Il cannot take it." said the girl
stonily and placed the bank note GA
the table.
You must take it. Listen, young
lady, said Maurice, hastily and per-
suasively, Il shall be unhappy if you
refuse. 1t is more than a free gift,
for | have plenty. Not as a gift, then,
my dear miss, loan"
She hesitated. She thought of the
dark, gloomy streets, a doorway shell
ter, lurking, sinister birds of evil prey.
He had taken out his card case. He
pressed card and money into her fall
tering clasp. See. this is my name
and address" he went on, when you
get work send the money back to me,
if you choose. Good night, and heaven
guard you,"
Her eyes were swimming with tears.
She was sobbing convulsively so that
she could not speak. She took up his
hand and lifted it to her lips.
Il will prove myself worthy of your
confidence" she finally brokenly ut
tered. Then she left his side and the
place.

Where Papaws Are Giants.

Upon the premises of "Reve d'Ete,"
the beautiful southern home estate of
the late Charles !. Cragin, the man.
ager, H. E. Sealey, has managed to
force growth of the papaya Tor pa
paw plant which seems most remark
able, the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post
states. There is fine growth at
tanned by nearly all plant life upon
that well-cared-for tract - but the
growth made by the papaw plants set
out from the tiny pot last May, and
then not more than five inches in
height, has been enough to draw atten-
ton to them. They are now nearly
fifteen feet tall-and some of the trees
have diameter of fully seven inches
This tale may sound much exaggerat-
ed to many readers, but the trees are
there to speak for themselves, and the
records kept of all work done and
achievements made during each day
of the year can prove the accuracy of
this statement of growth.

FARMERS MAKE TWO POTATO
CROPS IN SIX MONTHS

Some farmers in the Hastings dis
trict will make two crops of potatoes
this winter. A. P. Spencer, district
agent for the University of Florida
Extension Division, reports that sew
eral farmers who planted during the
first part of December had their
vines killed by a recent frost The
potatoes were not very big but they
were marketable and were dug
Those farmers intend to plant again
and if they do they will get a sec
ond crop by early June.
The first crop will not be heavy.
