During the week ending October 14, the Salt Lake refineries receipted for 2,000 pounds of gold cyanides, valued at (40,000, while the banks reported the receipt of ore and bullion to the value of (3J4,4SCi, or a total for th week of 8434,480. Quite a number of men who have ipent several months in the vicinity of Willard hill, near the Ogden Hot Springs, have left that locality, owing to the recent snowstorms, and bring the news that nearly every property in that section has been abandoned until spring. A smelter which will have a capacity of at least 150 tons daily will, in the near future, be erected at Sodaville, about 200 miles south of Keno, Nev. in The plant will be strictly every respect, and when completed will be the finest smelting works of its size to be found in the west. Home fine ore from the Washington mine, at Frisco, is being exhibited at the company's office. It came from the bottom of the shaft, which has now attained a depth of from between 140 and 150 feet. The samples Bhown carry 7 or 8 per cent copper, over 30 per cent lead, between 30 and 40 ounces in silver and from 82 to 85 in gold. The shaft Is goiDg steadily down, and the Washington gives every indication of proving a remarkably rich mine. The owners of the J umbo, near Pike's Diggings, are so encouraged over the condition of the property that they have decided to continue work all winter. The Jumbo property consists of two claims 3,000 feet in length, running through the entire length of which is a mammoth ledge which in some places is fifty feet in width. At the widest part of the ledge they have never had less than an average of $4 in gold, while recent assays show that some of the rock goes as high as from (30 to (50. A systematic and persistent, thongh unavailing, attempt to bear" the price of copper has been made in New York and Boston during the past month. About the only effect It had was to frighten some timid holders of stock, In new companies. Into parting with their property at a loss, and intimidating. for the time being, some of those who intended to buy copper stocks from so doing. The bears claim the increase In the prodnctlon of copper greatly exceeds the demand for it, bat this, of course, is not a fact. That a new cyanide mill will be built at the Horseahofraa!oed by, Robert C. Land, A. W. McCune and other Salt men, ie considered almost a certainty. Successful experiments have been made on the ores of the Horseshoe, which were found to be adapted to the cyanide treatment. The new mill, it is understvxl, will have a capacity of 100 tons at the start. A new hoist is also to be put up, which will be powerful enough to go to a great depth. Several new buildings are now in course of construction at this ptoperty. A Mr. Loomis of Colorado Springs is running a tunnel upon a group of claims Id the La Sal district, and is in 1,400 feet and has cut the main copper bearing vein, which ie ninety-thre- e feet thick and consists of pay ore from wall to walL He Intends putting up a fifty ton concentrating plant on the ground qfrly in the spring. Development work is being pushed ahead all over this district, and a ledge of the metal uranium can be traced through the mountain for miles which has a commercial value. Copper played an important part in the Dewey celebration. The medals of honor awarded by congress to the gallant tart who fought with the admiral on board the Olympia at Manila were ot bronze, and three-fourtof the Dewey medals, bought by the .thousands by the populace who welcomed the great naval hero, were of bronze or brass. Copper was their beslo metal, and thousands of them were made of it entirely. It ie estimated that 100 tons of eopper have been employed in tbelr manufacture. '-! Mar won Prophot.

Preparations should be ynadg,.. this to cover all tender plants with straw or dirt as a protection against the winter. The men that covered their strawberries, raspberries and blackberries last winter got good harvests this year and U was due entirely to their covering of the plants. Some of the most advanced horticulturists In the WeBt affirm that it Is of little use to attempt to grow certain varieties of raspberries and blackberries, even as far south as Northern Illinois, without covering them with some kind of material that will keep out the sun on the warm days In winter. If we could depend on having a heavy blanket of snow to do the covering no artificial covering would be necessary, llut the experience of last winter was that during the period of greatest cold the ground over a wide portion of the country was entirely bare. fall -- B.

The point at whieh her work is vulnerable is the pointof view from which he treats her subjeot. In studying the character and achievements of Joseph Smith, she was evidently not ready to accept him as a prophet truly inspired of God, nor. could she accept the theory of conscious invention as a reasonable explanation of his life's work; for, had that been the source of his efforts in founding a religion, "it would not have left sufficient power to earry him through persecution, in which bia life bung in the balance, and his cause appeared to be lost," nor eould she believe "that the class of earnest men. who coust ituted the rank and file of his early following would have been so long deceived by a deliberate hypocrite." "It appears to me, the explains, "more likely that Smith was genuinely deluded by the automatic freaks of a vigorous but nndiscL plined brain, and that, yielding to these, he became confirmed in the hysterical temperament whieh aiwaysadds to delusion, and to fraud." She calls to the aid of her theory and wKh marked skill, be it said tbe inclination of tbe times toward superstition. "In hie day," the remarks, it was necessary to reject a marvel or admit ita epiritnal significance; granting tbe honest delusion as to his vision and hie' book, his only choice ley between counting himself the sport of devils or the agent of heaven; an optimistic temperament cast the die. -This is Mias Dougell'e point of view in the treatment of her subject, and it ia utterly untenable.

Tbe Isf winter was to severe that the very condition that would have been favorable to the orchards in ordinary years proved the reverse this loot seaorson. For once the chards suffered the most Some believe that this was due to the fact that the ground above the roots of the trees, being In m loose condition, permitted the froet to go much deeper than In orchard where there was a firm sod. In many cases this was the cause of the loss of trees and vines. n fact that frost goes It Is s In land that Is tilled than In deeper land that Is untilled. If we were to continue to have winters like the last would perhaps be rum pel ted to gitn up cultivating our orchards and vineyards or confine ourselves to a few exceptionally hardy varieties. But as we do not expect such winters, ws ar certainly justified In continuing to cultivate, knowing that cultivation not only gives us better crops and stronger tress, but that trees so taken care of are mors likely than others to survive It ha also been ordinary winter noted that the older orchards In clover, and grass gtve the best crops this year, while the younger orchards, even when in clover and grass, seem to have sustained greet Injury.

As the end of the fruiting season in the orchard approaches is the time to look over the orchard and see what trees can be removed with advantage to the looks and health and future ot the orchard. This fruitfulness should be done before the leaves fall, for it will be more difficult to do the work after the limbs are bare. It will then be difficult In many cases to tell the thrifty tree from the unthrifty one. Many an aid tree is allowed to stand in the orchard till Its usefulness has been- - passed by many years.- - It becomes a harbor for insects and fungoid diseases, and a neat' from which to spread the pests to other parts of the orchard.

But we roust have hay farms, just as we have farms devoted to the production of other special crops. .The fertility of the hay farm can be kept up. hut it must be by a considerable expenditure for manures And by a Judicious rotation of cropa. This rotation, however, can be eaally made, for clover can boused after and before timothy and grasses of like constituents. It will pay to. keep the fields. In a strong, healthy condition, and when the grasses show signs of having at all exhausted the land, It may with advantage be put Into some such crop as potatoes. Keeping the land rich not only gives a good hay crop, but it permits the grass to send down Its roots to a depth where it may hid defiance to drouth. Where the market for hay 1b good, aud where Iht cost of delivery is not great, the hay farm may become very profitable. rtaau for Our Arid PIuIm. Sooner or later science will bring our great seml-ari- d plains under (he control of the fanner and stock-raise- r. The system of reservoirs that la already being planned will do much to effect this, but we believe that still more will be accomplished by finding plants that will grow without the use of a great amount of water in the soil. Perhaps, too, valuable plants will be developed from useless plants we now have on the plains, such as the cactus. Already we are hearing of cactus that have no thorns, and that are very val- uable for the feeling of stock. The government Is searching the world for plants that will add to the service of those we already have. Among thoee that have been obtained abroad we might mention the Australian salt bush, which promises much. The one that Is giving the best results Is called Atrlplex Setnibaccata. It has great drouth resisting power, and will grow on very alkaline soil. It Is said that it will keep green all summer, grow rapidly, and that the root will remain in the ground to start the crop next year. It is said that stock of all kinds thrive on 1L These claims are rather extravagant, and It Is well to wait n little before we praise too highly. We remember thttt sacallne came Into the country with about as great eclat, but had so many bad qualities that no one wants anything to do with It now. If the salt bush does halt that la claimed tor It, It will be a great boon to all settlers west of the Missouri river. One View ef Beg Cholera. Nebraska Farmer says: Perhaps (he cfiiei "safety valve to the bog ralslng business, after all, Is found in what la popularly Known as hog cholera, by which we mesa to include all hog that die from any disease whatever. That men should have an ambition to overcome and wipe out of existence all diseases that hogs are heir to Is surely n good thing to contemplate; but that we could wish them actually to succeed in so doing, while all other conditions remain substantially as now. Is not quite so certain. One thing is perfectly obvious tonsil at thl stag of our progress with diseases in swine, and that Is, in no part of the country where hogs are raised In any number and fed on grass end grain rations, ar they free from raids of hog cholera. The loss of a herd of hogs Is certainly a severe one to th owner, but when these losses ars legion end are distributed over a large area of country the effect can hardly b g other than a salutary one upon In general.
