ROCKY MOUNTAIN ORE CoNCEN.
TRAITOR


Mr.. John Hannigan, foreman of the
Rocky Mountain Concentration Works
in Black Hawk, informs The Oh
SERVER that the works for the month
of January treated 1923 tons of crude
ore, which yielded 426 tons of concen-
trates which formed the output of the
works for that month. The company
owning the works-the Central Improve
ment-is working the Margaret Glennan
mine, in Enterprise district, the Forfar
and Minnesota in Russell district, but
the condition of the wagon roads rs well
as of the Gilpin Tramway tracks has
been such that the works have received
but small amount of ore from them
The latter mine has the ore platforms
piled up with ore, but the drifted snow
along the lower road in Russell gulch is
to such depth that the wagons cannot
pass over it. This forms the natural out.
let for the ore from that mine. While
the Forfar is connected with the main
track of the tramway, no ore cars could
be secured. With these conditions exist.
ing, Mr.. Collins, the general manager,
very wisely closed down the works for
the present, on Tuesday of last week.

A Pueblo special to the Denver News

cold weather and the snow blockade
have cut down in considerable degree
the receipts of ore at the Pueblo smelter.
Cripple Creek, however, has been able
to send its usual amount, and with the
stock on hand, no decrease in the num-

The Philadelphia smelter has had 100

Henry P. Lowe, of the Topeka mine,
Russell district, last Thursday paid off
the miners in his employ and closed down
the mine for the present; at least until
such time as he will be enabled to secure
coal for fuel. The mine has plenty of
good ore stripped ready to be taken
down by the ore breakers. AS soon as
the tramway company are enabled to
run their trains with regularity the
mine will start up again with its usual
force of miners, and development work
already inaugurated will be carried out

SPRAY THEs FRUIT TREES
In Order To Protect From the Cod
limo Moth.

So far as 1 know there are no serious
fungous diseases of orchard fruits in
New Mexico, but the apple and pear
are badly damaged by the Cooling
moth, also known as the apple worm
While the testimony of experimenters
differs much as to the benefit to be de.
rived from spraying with Paris green
solution as q means of killing the Codl-
ing moth, the great majority of those
who have tried it recommend the prsc-
tice. Its success Is largely proportio-
nal to the thoroughness with which
the work is done.
To make Paris green solution, use 2
pounds of lime and l pound of Paris
green to 100 gallons of water-or .one
fourth of each to q barrel of water.
Take unslacked lime, and after weigh
ing slack and strain it. Its purpose is
to prevent injury to the foliage.
Weigh the poison, then moisten thor
oughly with very little water, making
. paste; add water gradually until q
complete solution is made. If much
water Is added to the dry poison it will
form Jumps and not mix readily.
Having placed the lime and poison
solution in the barrel, add enough wa
ter to fill it. The solution Is best ap-
piled to the trees by means of a spray
ing pump attached to the barrel. This
is carried on wagon, the work being
better done from above If possible
The nozzle should be graduated to
throw a spray as fine as mist, and
every part of the tree should be reach
ed; but no more need be applied than
will cause dripping from the tree.
Practice and care are n -cessary to ap-
ply the poison evenly and thoroughly,
and every fruit should be reached.
The time to spray is after the blos-
SONS fall and before the fruit stems
curve downward. 1t is best to make
two or three spray;ngs; first just as the
last petals fall: then again at intervals
of about ten days. The Cooling moth is
most apt to lay it's eggs in the blossom
end of the fruit, hence it is especially
important that the blossom end be well
covered with the poison; this is why
the spraying should be done while the
tiny fruits stand erect on their stems.
As soon as the egg matches the worm
begins feeding, eating its way into she
fruit. To be at all effective the poison
must be on the fruit when the worm is
| Matched.
| In the southern parts OF the terrific
~ the Cooling moth has tire or
| four broods q year, aud is much m re
| difficult to combat than in northern
New Mexico and at high elevations
but spring spraying should greatly
reduce the number of worms even
where there is more than one brood q
year.
| A bulletin has been issued by the
agricultural experiment station on the
Cooling moth, which will be sent
free, postage prepaid, to any address
on applics tion to the president of the
agricultural college, Mesilla Park,
New Mexico.

INTERNATIONAL DAM
Favored BY Supreme Court DeCi-
chm

Yesterday afternoon Justice Brewer,
of the United States supreme court,
handed down the decision Of the court
in the Rio Grande Dam and Irrigation
company case which was appealed from
New Mexico where the decision was
favorable to the Elephant Butte COM
pany.
The supreme court reversed the de-
cision of the lower court and remanded
the case with Instructions to set aside
the decree of dismissal and to order an
inquiry into the question as to whether
the intended acts of defendants in the
construction of the dam and in apprO-
pristing waters of the Rio Grande will
substantially diminish the navigability
of the stream within the limits of the
present navigability and if so, to enter
u decree restraining those acts to the
extent they will so diminish it.
The decision of the court is signal
victory for the International Dam COM
pany of Ell Paso which has fought the
case in the courts for a year or more.
The dam above this city will now
probably be built and farmers in the
valley receive an abundance of water.
