Our experiments teach US that the
word complete" before the word
fertilizer will not do. Last season
we used some "complete" fertilizer
on several rows of tobacco and it did
not meet our expecta tions, because
the soil needed some other ingre-
dent. Consequently the fertilizer
could not have been "complete' or
it would have had the potash or some
other ingredient. If you desire
fertilizer for onions, cabbage or to
bacco, buy the kind advertised espe-
cially for that purpose and let the
''complete" severely alone.

LADY GODINA."

This mine, situated at very little over
mile from the centre of White Oaks, is
on one Of the best leads in the district
and the development and exploitation
now going on bids fair to make it one Of
our best producers within thirty to sixty
days.
B. Ii. Dye, general manager and one
Of the owners, has charge Of the mine,
with Gus kastlcr as foreman, and Frank
Il. Conger and James Simms, engineers
The mine employs eight men on the day
shift and four on night shift engaged in
sinking the main shaft with air drills.
The depth is somewhat more than 525
feet at present. The present workings
are on an incline of about sixteen
degrees from perpendicular, and timber
ing, tagging, etc, are kept up with the
sinking in fine shape. The object OF this
shaft is to reach the ore body at greater
depth than before accomplished by
another shaft and it is calculated that
this will be accomplished at a depth Of
about $50 feet.
The rock through which the shaft il
being driven, is very hard massive gran
itc and since reaching the depth Of 25C
feet, the vein has been present and con
tinues on through present workings.

Extract from Engineering and Mining
Journals report Of the mineral output of the
U. S. for 1891. Article by Walter O. Hadley.
To one who has watched the statistics
of New Mexicos ore product for the past
half dozen years it must have appeared
that her star had passed the zenith and
was low down in the horizon. This idea
is not correct. The fact is, there has
been slight improvement generally,
although at present there are fewer
mines in bonanza than is usual; but the
statistics have been moro honestly col
lected from more candid producers. The
requirement of the Department of Mines
and Mining of the Eleventh Census -
sworn statements-helped to bring this
about. We have seen, some years ago,
the territory credited with $5,000,OO0 pro-
duct in gold and silver, when it is prob
able that $l,500000 would have covered
it. 1t would have paid six years ago to
boom with falsehoods, but the coming
to facts is what hurts posterity. The
writer is of opinion that the year 1891
has been up to the average of the past
eight years, though possibly 10 per cent
below it; with notable increase in the
lead product and decrease in the silver
output Copper is not one of the princi-
pie products of New Mexico. The mum
Der OF fairly profitable small mines with
slight ore reserves is large, and mining
has become. III parts of New Mexico
