deceived in granting the decree. Among

Potato Skins.

In almost all farmhouses after pota-
toes are peeled for cooking the usual
but wasteful way is to throw them in
the swill barrel for pigs. They are very
little good for pigs. but if cooked and
mixed with wheat bran or fine mid
dlings they make an excellent feed for
hens. A raw potato is not good for
much for any kind Of stock. The best
part Of the potato is in the peeling, and
many who eat roast potato find the

Heavy Oats.

The fact that oats soon in our climate
fall off in weight per bushel or "run
out, I" as farmers say, is probably owing
to the hot, dry weather which usually
comes about the time the oat crop is
filling and ripening. That cannot be
helped, as climatic changes are beyond
human control. But the evil may be
lessened by sowing only the heaviest
oats, and sowing these early in spring
on fall plowed ground.

Platinum Discovery.

For some time the Owens Brothers
of Williams, have been working a min
ing property west of the Cataract Can
yon, near the Grand Canyon. A few
months ago they bonded the claim to
Eastern parties as copper property.
AS development work was done it ap-
peared that copper was not all the
mine contained. A body of clay that
hardens on exposure to the air was
found to contain a white metal which
was mistaken for silver A quantity
was sent to San Francisco assayer
for analysis and he reported that the
matter contained large percentage Of
platinum. Several hundred pounds of
the ore was sent and tests made proved
the truth of the analysis.
The vein in one of the locations is
reported to be fifty feet wide, and that
the same character of ore shows up in
places for several miles in extent, aud
that the deposit is practically mex
haustibie.
The news of the find leaked out in
Williams and produced such an ex-
citement that everybody that could
get away started for the new discovery
and they have located all the country
in the vicinity of the new find.
Mr.. j. S. Owens was here yesterday
buying outfits for the purpose of haul
ing the ore to the railroad and a car
load will be shipped next week.
The value of the discovery will be
appreciated when it is known that
platinum is worth about eight times as
much as silver.

specimens of the ore, which he OBJ
tanned from the owners of the claim,

Cape Nome's Golden Sands.

The discovery of gold on the beach
at Cape Nome, Alaska, was made ac.
cldentally by a prospector who was
camping there. He Immediately be-
gan prospecting the sands with such
profitable results that the beach was
thronged with men who quit wages of
los per day on the creeks and staked
out miles of claims and last month
1000 men were employed in separating
gold from the beach sands, averaging
from los to 2505 day, each.
This beach deposit of gold is as yet
an unsolved problem. BY some it is
claimed that the gold in the sand,
which Is entirely dust, has been washed
out from the tundra by the waves at
high tide and deposited, through hun
dreds of years in the sand. 1t is found
now from two to five feet below the
surface in the drift, and is so plentiful
that the miner who does not find IL i'm
paying quantities is the exception. On
the other hand, there are some who
claim that the gold is washed in from
the sea and that the real field. or
mother lode" so to speak, is to be
reached and developed by dredging.

Ammonia as Fire txtinguisher.

In an instance where fire had origi-
mated, probably from spontaneous
combustion, in pile containing sew
eral tons of cotton seed, and the in
terror of which was almost solid body
of live coal, half gallon of ammonia
completely smothered the fire. In anoth-
er, which occurred in Sivenay, France,
the vapors of tank cont lining fifty
gallons of gasoline caught fire in the
linen room of laundry. The room
was instantly mass of living flames,
but gallon and half of ammonia
water thrown into it com pletely ex-
tinguished the fire. The ammonia
was in glass demijohn in an apothe-
cary's shop next door to the laundry,
and was thrown into the room by the
druggist as an experiment. To use his
own words in reporting the circum-
stance. The effect was instantaneous,
torrents of black smoke rolled upward
in place of flames, and in moment
every trace of fire was gone. So COM
pletely was the fire extinguished that

ARIZONA.

Arizona is the best and most extern
sive mineral belt in the world, says
Prick and Drill. Take the number of
square miles within her borders, and
then take the same number of square
miles in America, or in the wide, wide
world; then compare them, and Ari-
Zona will stand pre-eminent. No such
copper veins anywhere else; no such
silver and gold veins anywhere else;
no such lead veins anywhere else; but
they are as yet undeveloped-why?
Simply because the superficial writer's
and observers have pleased themselves
and sought to please their readers, by
ignorance and ridicule. 1t is easier to
write, desert" ''centipede" and "Gila
monster" than it is to prospect, see
and know. The eastern "tenderfootn
and newspaper correspondent, who
never travelled one mile except on a
stage-coach or a railroad, knows as
little about the mineral resources of
Arizona as the men on this planet
know about the mineral resources of
the planet Mars.
But what do practical mining men
say after careful investigation? They
all declare that Arizona is the mineral
belt of the world.
What do we read from the pen of
Baron Humboldt, the world renowned
scientist and explorer? He says: "The
mineral wealth of the world will yet
be found in Arizona"
What has development proven? 1t
proves that Arizona has the largest
aud the best silver and gold mines,
and the largest and the best copper
mines in the world. In no state or
territory have the mines paid for their
own development as in Arizona.
Until recently, Arizona had no rail
roads in, through or to her mining
camps, nor did she have a custom
snelter within her borlers. The stu
alton in the pa It was: The savage wild
man at the mine to harass, hinder and
murder from 100 to 800 miles by pack
animal and wagon to railroad. and then
a Thousand miles to the smelter. To
develop, operate and make mines pay
under such disadvantages was a tire
some task; it never was done anywhere
else except in Arizona, and could not
have been accomplished here if it had
not been for the fact that rich ores are
found here nearer the surface than
any place on earth.
What is the present environment?
A climate unsurpassed; the savage man
is gone, and gone forever; the railroads
are now here; the custom smelter is
now here; the vastness in size and
richness of the ores and mineral veins
are now proven; Arizona has timber
and wood, water and climate, iron and
lime for huxes, and ores enough to en-
gage thousands of men for hundreds
of years.
Only few years ago less than 10Os a
ton ore was thrown into the waste
dumps, but now, with the modern
methods of mining and concentration,
80 aud l0S ore is successfully and pro-
fitabiy mined and concentrated.
