There is a strong probability that the
Aurora gold mine at Alamo will again
become a great producer of bullion. The
former owners, Major II. M Russell
and Thomas Rhodes took out nearly
half million dollars from the Aurora
before the rich vein pinched out and
ran into dixie, seven or eight years
ago, and for a long time afterward the
Aurcya was shut down. The other day,
after the mine had been reopened and
work resumed, the dixie was cut
through and it is now reported that
good ore has been struck. Major Rus
sell is still interested in the mine, but
Mr.. Rhodes is no longer in the land of
the living. He committed suicide five
or six years ago in Los Angeles. The
Aurora mine gave Alamo about all the
prominence it ever had, and if the
property again becomes a bullion pro-
ducer the camp will pick up.
The cyanide plant being erected at
Alamo by Thomas Kneale and others
for the purpose of working over the
tailings of the Princesa gold mine is
nearly ready for operation, and good
results are expected by the owners. The
Princesa is owned by English capital
lists who expended many thousands of
dollars on the mine at the time the Au-
rora, adjoining it, was a bonanza.

| HAY PRICES.
| Santa Ana Blade: The hay market
| in Santa Ana is weak and has been fol
some time past. More has been offered
for sale in the past two weeks than at
any other period during the year. The
market has been flooded, with no de-
mand from outside places. The cause
for this flood of the hay market is due
to the fact that producers have about
finished the baling of their product and
must either sell or store their hay. Nc
further decline is expected until the
rainy season, when the price of hay will
be governed entirely by the rains.
The hay market in Santa Ana is
summed up as follows, after interview
ing all the hay dealers:
For gilt edge, upland barley hay, OF
which there is an occasional lot offered
as high as $11 is paid. No. 1 barley
hay is offered in large quantities at
So Peatland barley hay has been
offered for So. Plenty of hay is Of
fered at these figures, being brought
in from as far out as El Toro and Cap
/ istrano. Alfalfa hay is plentiful at ).

PEARS AND PEACHES.
Santa Ana Blade: The big cannery
is employing $50 hands and wants 10l
more. Peaches and pears are now be-
| ing operated on and the fruit is com
| ing in rapidly. Very little fruit will
be sent in from this immediate neigh
borhood for the good reason that the
peach and pear crop is light, but al
Newport and in the vicinity of West
minister some peaches have been bought
i by the company.
The supply this season will come from
Burbank, Rivera, Whittier and San
Bernardino. and in all about oOO tons
of peaches and 200 tons of pears have
been purchased. This comprises about
all the stock tributary to this cannery
and, with the tomato supply expected
will occupy the time till the middle o1
| November.
Already this season there have beer
| 5000 cases of apricots canned, which
are still in the house. the orders fol

The bulk of the apricots will be shipped
later in one shipment.

Wants More Railways.

The King of Siam has long been pos
sessed by the desire to extend his sys-
tenn of railways, which is rather in
significant at this moment. With this
object he has set his British engineers
to the duty of securing specifications
and estimates of the cost of two lines,
the route of which he has himself care
fully indicated. Should he resolve te
construct those lines, it is a fair as
sumption that the material would
chiefly, probably entirely, come from
Britain, for the Kings estimate OF
things and men British was never
higher than at this moment.

THE UNITY NINE.

Trinity Journal: This week we paid
a visit to the Unity Companys mining
property in Minersville and found
everything in good shape. The company,
an Eastern one, has equipped the mine
with all the latest improvements in
hydraulic mining and with a small
amount of preliminary work will be
ready for working when the rainy sea-
son begins. A thoroughly constructed
dam has been built across the east
branch Of Stuart's Fork, 100 yards in
length and securely anchored to with
stand the storms of winter. One mile
of lumber was used in it's construc-
tion. The five miles of ditch from the
dam recently finished will convey
water to the mine.
Just across from the mine the COM
pany have built large and commodi-
Gus boarding house, with reading room,
bunk room, dining rooms and office 1t
is two-story structure and Will be
lighted with acetylene gas. The men
will have every convenience.
The company is proceeding in a thor
oughly systematic and economical man
ner and will undoubtedly make sue
cess of it's venture, a fact which Will
be Of great future benefit to this coun-
ty, as the gentlemen interested Will
undoubtedly extend their operations IN
the mines of this county if results are
satisfactory.

reasonable and possible, and yet no
farmer can make any surplus money

You can't figure percentages on farm

Tae hay crop is good this year. Eve y
farmer should have plenty of hay. See
that you have enough and to spare. If
you have no natural meadows, then
make them. Plant clover or peas or
rye. You are not wise man if you
fail to raise enough hay for your own
use. The cotton farmer has hurt him
self as badly in failing to raise plenty
OF hay as in failing to raise his PORK.
We are beginning to turn land for
wheat. The crop this year was about
as last year. This crop needs good
preparation OF the soil. The land
should be thoroughly broken and then
rolled and narrowed several times.
Then drill in the wheat, three pecks to
the acre with not less than 800 pounds
per acre of superphosphate Pea stubble
and cotton land are aoout equal in pro
ducing wheat crop.
Now is the time to make those pigs
grow-not less than pound day.
All your winter wood should be up,
ready cut, and piled in the dry. Don't
impose unnecessary burdens on the
women. Give them a good range, a
good wash house, well equipped. See
that your well is deep enough to give
water the driest summer.
Have a garden chicken prof. Keep
it filled with growing vegetables the
year round. Look after the grape
vines and fig bushes. Let every farmer
raise his own fruit and nearly every
kind. When the winter comes be pre-
pared. Then enjoy yourself and feast
upon the fruit of your labors.

TREE MURDER IN AMERICA.

At a recent public banquet one Of
the officers of one OF our largest States
sl5ghted the effJrts that have been
made for the preservation Of our woods
by placing as first in Importance the
development of wood pulp and other
industries in the threatened districts,
writes Chas. NJ inner, in a recent
issue Of the Saturday Evening Post.
To give a passing wege 20 passing
population he would destroy forests
that, intelIigently protected, would
furnish work and wages for centuries.
Americans are the most Wasteful Of
people. They have a big and fertile
country, and they act as though it
we're impossible to exhaust it's re-
sourcs. But the immense increase in
it's gro With, the constant enlargement
of industries that require the destruc
tion of natural material, must bring us
to a pause. Natural gas was burned
without stint just after it's discovery,
with the result that only enough re.

that the anthracite supply in this
country. cannot last much more than
hundred years longer. Already some
of the prairie lands that were believed
to be inexhaustible, requiring but one
plowing a year to keep them fertile,
are tired out, and demand to be fed.
And most astonishing of our wastes is
that Of our woods, In which rests one
of our best sources Of wealth and on
which we rely for water. Whether
we use timber for houses and ships or
not, we must drink, and in chopping
off our forests we are reducing our
springs: ergo, our brooks, rivers and
ponds: ergo, the fertility OF the land:
ergo, the population Thereof.
It has been explained again and
again, yet seems ever to require new
emphasis, that the trees act as um
brellas to protect the fallen rains from
quick evaporation and give time to
them to soak into the soil; also, that

meal and In every case the raw meal
gave best results. Wisconsin Expert
ment Station found that raw feed gave
best results in every case 10 ten trials
Soaking corn seems beneficial when
the weather is warm enough so that
the feed does not chill or freeze. In
cold weather it is decidedly injurious.
1t is questionable which is the better,
whole corn or corn meal for tattening
pigs. Many tests show slightly in
favor Of the meal, but not enough to
justify much expense in grinding. 1T
would recommend soaking corn 48
hours unless the weather is so warm
that it sours," says Prof. Cottrell.
The subject Of frost S it relates to
the agricultural products of the coun
try is one of great importance to farm
ers, fruit growers, and gardenders. AS
a means Of furnishing in popular form
the necessary information in relation
to methods Of protecting crops from
frost, the .. s. Department of Agricu,-
ture has had prepared and will soon
issue Farmers Bulletin No. 1O4, entitled
''Notes on Frost"
This bulletin was prepared by E B.
Garriott, Professor of Meteorology at
the Weather Bureau, and def aes frost
and the conditions which favor it's for
nation and states the methods of pro
lection which have been found prac
ticable by actual experiments. Il de-
scriOes how frost is formed, the seasons
of frost, tells when to expect it, dis
cusses methods of protection, and Ce.
scribes devices for preventing rapid
radiation of heat, for charging the air
with moisture, and for adding moisture
to the air.
Some facts regar ding freezes, which
are destructive alike to tender vegeta-
tion and to plants of harder growth,
are also given.
The bulletin says that experiments
and observation seem to es -ablish the
following facts: The danger OF dam
age from frost can be materially les
sened by placing early and tender
plants on high grounds and crests, aud
harder plants in low grounds and hol
lows. When ground can be selected
in the lee, or to the south and east of
considerable bodies Of water, the dan
ger will be further lessened.
In the dry climate of the citrus fruit
region of California and in the promis
ing fruit districts of Arizona small and
numerous fires, preferably of coal
burned in iron baskets, have been
found to be the most effective device
used for protection against frost; sec
ond in point of utility may be placed
irrigation; and the practicable process
which affords the least protection in
that respect appears to be smudge
fires.
In the grange growing districts of
the South irrigation affords the most
effective protection against frost, while
in sections where this process cannot
be employed damp smudge fires prop
erly handled are best adapted to gen
ePal use

SOME BIRD AND SNAKE NOTES.

An article on this subject by Mr.. II.

The science of zoology as applied to
economic conditions is yet but in it's
swaddling clothes, says Mr.. Brimley,
and until investigators have gone much
more fully and deeply into the intri-
cacies of this interesting and economi-
cally valuable subject we shall still
have to judge our bird and animal
neighbors by appearances and surface
indications only. Thus, most farmers
will say that all hawks, owls, snakes,
etc., are his enemies. 1t is Of little use
to tell one that the big ''hen hawk" he
