THE SUGAR BEET.
IT 8H0WS A PREFERENCE FOR
PARTICULAR SOIL.
There arc Only a Few of the States
in Which the Industry Can be Made
Profitable Facta Brought Out by
Examinations Made In Washington,
(Washington correspondenra New
York Evening Post.) In the discus
sion of beetaugar prospects, which
Is now at Its height, It la apparent
that the representatives of this new
Industry are taking an altogether too
optimistic view of its possibilities in
this .country, One neai only opeij. a
treatise; issued a few months ago by
the department of agriculture, which
is really the head ot the beet-siisar
propaganda, to learn that there are
decided limitations to the growth of
the beet in many parts of this coun
try. The farmers, it seems, were re
quested by the department to send
samples of the beets they were rais
ing to Washington for analysis, ami
upon theui a report was made. From
Illinois, for example, 1 00 samples had
been received, of which the average
size of the beet was normal, "but both
the content of sugar and coefficient of
purity were below the standard."
Two hundred and 35 samples from
Indiana showed that state as practi
cally in the same rank as a sugar-pro-
WILL GAYNOR
In this picture is presented por
traits of John F. Gaynor and his wife.
Gaynor, who is accused of bribing
Captain Oberlin Carter and swindling
tbe United States government, failed
to appear for trial and his bonds of
S80,000 were forfeited. Government
officials are now seeking to bring
him back from Canada.
ducer as Illinois. The report adds
that it Is not advisable to try to carry
the commercial growing of sugar
beets further south than the central
part of these states. From Iowa sev
eral hundred samples were received,
but the department says that their
content of sugar "falls just short of
the average standard fixed for suc
cessful manufacture. The purity of
the Iowa beets is remarkably low,
when their content oT sugar is consid
ered. This fault can dotiglless be rem
edied by more careful culture."
As to Kansas, this exhaustive study
of conditions concludes that the cli
mate is not suitable to growing high
grade sugar-beets. The summers are
too long and too dry. The uniformly
low sugar content of the samples re
ceived from Kentucky is "not encour
aging." The samples received from
Maine, the bulletin savs, "were re
mai'sably poor in quality." Maryland
appears to he "one of those states
which are Just on the border separat
ing the good from the Indifferent
areas for beet-sugar production. The
data obtained from Minnesota are not
so favorable as theoretical Indica
tions would lead one to expect." Mis
souri is like Maryland. Of New
Hampshire the bulletin rec-iles that
the character of the soil and the con
tour of the state will prevent beet
curt ure from ever becoming an Indus
try of great magnitude. Ohio cannot,
"as a whole, be regarded as favorable
to beet culture." From Oklahoma, the
data are "distinctly unfavorable." The
samples received from Virginia "are
not encouraging to the belief that a
successful beetsttgar Industry can be
established therein." And so one
might proceed.
The places where the beet-sugar
Industry may be expected to thrive,
If the department's views are correct,
are certain parts of California. Colo
rado, Idaho, Michigan, Nebraska. New
York. Oregon, and I-tali, with, of
course, smaller areas in other states.
The Irrigated lands of such slates as
I'tah and Colorado seem the most
suitable, and. If the government will
further subsidize the industry by pay
ing for Hie Irrigation, the crop will
doiibtleKH prove a great success.
Michigan seems to he doing most Just
now, ami altnough its availability for
litis Industry Is not doubted. th ex
pert Investigations are not wholly flut
tering. The department's conclusion
Is this, after examining 1.2m) sam
ples: "Ther" Is little doubt of the
fact that Michigan is otie ol Ihe moat
favorable localities in the I'nited
Htates lor the growing of high grade
sugar beets. When the farmers of
the state thoroughly learn the art of
successful beet culture, they will be
able to compete with even the mote
favored districts In Kit rope, both in
the quality of tlie beets produced ntul
In Ihe yield of per acre."
Nebraska Is another state In wl ich
the beet early Impressed Itself upon
politics and politicians. Kven Seu
i'.tor Thurston, who wept so cloti 'tit
ly over Cuba before the war. begin
to turn a cold shoulder towards her
sliortlv afterward in a way that sur
prised F.astern observer. It was tlie
heel that did It. Of this state the de
partment says: "Many years of the
coinmerclul culture of the s;tgar-b"et
have distinctly fixed the status of Ne
brnnlt.ii In respect to Ihls Industry. It
bat been 'demonstrated that Lett-
sugar can be made In Nebraska, but
it is evident from the data of tbe last
few years that Nebraska does not
rank so high as some of the other
states in Its capability of raising
high grade sugar-beets."
It thus appears that In the race
between the temperate ond the tor
rid zones over the production of sugar
we have no extraordinary advantages,
even, when seen by the eyes of those
who have most at heart the success
of the beet-sugar industry. The dis
eases of the highly developed beet
are sure to give the scientific experts
of the department a good deal ot
trouble. Pages of this bulletin are
devoted , to it in which five distem
pers are discussed in detail. When il
is considered how much German
scientists have done for the develop
ment of this plant, it may well be
wondered-" whrrt wonid --be the-condi-4
tion of the cune crop today had it
ever received anywhere near so much,
study and attention.
I low to compete in this country
with the labor of the tropics is an
other serious problem. The labor of
the West is too high priced for the
beet culture, even with its present
heavy protection and the bounties
which many or the states are paying.
Rome people believe that New York
will become a great sugar state, If
this country decides to keep out the
cane, because of the large numbers
of newly arrived immigrants from
southern and eastern Europe who
could be set to work by whole fami
lies In tbe beet-fields.
COME BACK ?
WASTE ORE WORKED OVER.
Every Method From Hand Sorting to
Washing by Machinery Is Used to
Profit.
(Cripple Creek, Col., letter to Den-
i ver Republic.) A considerable ad-
Ult ion to the output of the camp is
resulting from the sorting and wash
ing of the big mine dumps and the ac
tivity In this line of business was
never greater than at present. A
j number of companies are working
'over their big waste piles under their
own management, while others are
content to exact a good royalty from
lessees.
Tim Portland company has three
big washing machines installed and
is putting about 3") tons a day
through them. All the ore and waste
that passed through the orehouse Is
washed and the result is estimated
by the management at a saving of
nearly 3 per cent.
. As soon as the big Portland mill
is completed. It is understood that
several of the- dumps of this company,
known to contain low grade ores, will
be shipped and treated at a profit:.
The Vindicator and Golden Cycle
companies ate also sorting and wash
ing their dumps at a profit. Quite
recently the cyanide mill of the Colo
I rado Ore & Reduction company in
'Arecjua was leased for the express
purpose of treating dump ores. The
dump at the Iron Clad mine, which
is said to average about. $10 a ton
throughout, Is being treated there
and the lessee Is reported to be mak
ing a success of his venture.
Alexander Miller, . leasing the big
! Wild Horse dump, is also making
' good money. He is washing the
vcaste and haiilling a big tonnage
daily. Other dumps being success
fully treated on a smaller scale are
those of the Gold Dollar Consolidated
company on Beacon hill, the Doctor -Jai
k Pot dump, the Gold Coin and
St ration's Independence, the Dull
City placer, the dinsps of the Ana
conda estate and a number of
others.
Various methods and devices to
save values ate in use, Iro'it screening
unci hand sorting to the primitive
washing trough, or the more modern
Hilary washing machines. Where
hand sorting is resorted to, the val
ues are recovered from the litu
screenings and the course ores that,
have escaped the eye of the most ex
pert ore sorter. Where water is
used, the slimes, when dried, carry
high values, often running as high
as S I ot) a ton. The treatment charge
on ores up to three-citarlers of an
ounce or In value, Is $7.."i0. to
which must In- added $2 for hauling
and sampling charges, so that ore of
a minimum value of $12 a ton can he
.shipped with a small margin ol prcilit.
' i ew dump lessees, however, will
bundle ore running less than an ounce,
as the royalties exacted In some In
stances reach Bh high as 'id per cent
ol the net value on all ore marketed.

There Are but hTree Sections of tli9
World Where It Is Found.
M'ahington Post: "Mining for mer
cury, or, rather, for cinnabar ore, from
which mercury Is extracted, is a most
interesting process." remarked Mr.
Thomas J. Young of lyouUviile, Ky.,
last eveninr- "There are only three)
sections in the world in which mercury
has been found thus far Spain, Aus
tria, and in our own state of California.
These yield The world's supply. The

"The California mines are only begin

prove equally, if not. more, valuable
than the Spanish mines. An Idea of.
their immense value may be gained
from the fact that they are yielding a
divideud of I per c ent a month to their

profits. They are located about 119
miles northeast of San Francisco it th

"Mercury, or cinaabar ore which has
also a vein of sulphur in It is mined
virtually like coal. Shafts are sunk,
from which levels are run off. The ore
is found in what are termed fissure
veins, whleh run down far into the
bowels of the earth. The ore itself is
light in color, moderately hard, and
may be picked out iu small chunks. It
is found in 'kidneys ' or pockets, some
times in large quaiitlt.es.. '
"A curious and simple process, and
one to my mind quite ingenious, is
employed to extract the mercury from
the crude ore. The chunk's or ore are
