A Successful Test.

The Los Angeles Times Of Friday
has this little Item"
The test made by the Vulcan
Smelter company at the Llewellyn
Iron Works on Friday last was a
pronounced success. A thousand
pounds of ore shipped in from the
mines of the Sonora Mining and
Milling company was run through
and yielded a 21-pound bar of
bullion. The bullion had an assay
value of 1921, which gives an
average value to the ore of $1625
per ton. The bullion has been
placed ON exhibition in the show
window Of Montgomery Bros, jew
elers, on South Spring street.
There is said to be 100000 tons
of this grade of ore ready for treat
ment at the companys's mines, and
the deal has been closed between
Con O'Keefe, of the mine, and
Mr.. Page of the Vulcan smelter for
a 50ton furnace, which is to be
shipped within the next six days.
1t is confidently expected that
with the installation of this smelter
the Sonora Mining and Milling
company will be able to carry on
their usual development work and
pay a dividend of at least 7 per
cent on the capital stock.
This run made by the Vulcan
people is another proof of the
adaptability of this furnace to all
kinds of ore. This was particu-
larly severe test, on a highly sill
cious ore, without the addition Of
other f1ux, which is the most i'm
portant item in connection with
any smelling proposition. This is
the fifth test that has been made on
all kinds of ore submitted to the
Vulcan people, but they have all
proved successful from every stand
point.

New Placer Machine.

w. G. Lee is having a modifica-
ton of the Gilpin County bumper
cons tructed here and as soon as
completed will test the working of
the same on some of the rich placer
ground in this vicinity. The ma
chine is a wet washer, being similar
to the old Gilpin County bumper
with a China pump and Bailey riff
fles added and in tests made on
Lynx creek lately gave returns of
over ~ for an hours work, and
this where the gold was unusually
fine. Mr.. Lee has the patent rights
for Arizona and if the machine is
a success will no doubt be able to
dispose of a number of them here.
The model will be completed within
a couple OF weeks.

Val Verde Smelter.

The big custom smelter at Val
Verde on the Aqua Fria river was
to have been blown in before the
first Of the year, but the recent cold
snap played havoc with lot of
water pipes, and the briquetting
machine is in such bad shape that
it has been necessary to telegraph
for S. A. Bretherton, who superin-
tended the construction of the
pyritic furnace recently installed
as part Of the Val Verde plant.

A writer in The American X Ray
Journal tells Of some unusual expert
ments upon insects with Roentgen rays.
A box was made, half Of wood and
half of sheet lead. In the wooden half
q number of larvae of flies, bees, bee
ties and other insects were placed, and
the box was then put in the field of the
X rays. The insect colony at once be-
came greatly excited, and after crawl
ing to and fro finally emigrated to a
worm to the leaden half Of the box,
where the rays could not penetrate.
The experiment was repeated many
times and always with the same result
A similar experiment was tried with
the blind larvae of a certain species Of
beetle. A number of them were placed
In an open cigar box, which also con-
tanned q metal box with an opening.
No sooner were the rays turned on
than the insects showed signs Of dis
tress. Their uneasiness increased, and
in little while they all sought refuge
in the metal box. AS the larv@ in the
second experiment were entirely sight
less their perception Of the rays must
take place through the nerves Of the
skin,

ProIificness of the Belgian Hare.

The proli6cness of this little animal is
the great secret OF its money.making
possibilities over poultry and other meat
producers. Let us look for a moment at
the production of one doe in a year. We
will suppose that you start January L
by breeding one doe. Allow her 80 days
to carry her young, which is the longest
time likely, and she will kinde February
8. Eight is an average litter and they
will doubtless. average half does. Give
her tour weeks to nurse her young and
she will be ready to breed again March 4.
Repeat this through the year and
she will have six filters OF eight eact=4S
and for convenience we will call the
first three filters B and c respect
lively.
Now litter A which is supposed to
have four does will be four months
old June 8, ard ready to breed. They
will kindle July 6, with eight young
to each, making in all 80
and this litter we will call D.
Now litter A if each is bred same
as original doe, will give two more
Filters b. fore the close of the year "a
Litter B will, if bred the same
way, produce two litters making Cd
c will p oduce one filters, or 80
Then litter D. which contained 16
does, will be ready to breed about
Nov. 10 and kindle Dec. 10, and give 128
All making total from onedoe in
eleven and half months of 36S
This is where meat production is the
prime object, but if breeding stock or
show animals are desired it would be
better to allow more time for nursing
and recuperation, and from four to six is
enough to raise from each litter to get
the best results.
The meat can be produced for much
less per pound than pork, beef, mutton
or poultry, and compares with them In
nutritive value as follows:
Pork Yields rs per cent of nutriment
Beef SIS per cent. Mutton, 65 per cent
Chicken, so per cent. Belgian hare, SO
per cent, and it so easily digested that
physicians prescribe it for lever patients
old and fet BILE persons, consumptives, etc
Belgian meat commands in the oper
market, where its desirable qualities are
known, three times the price of round
hog, twice as much as beef by the side
double the price of mutton, third more
than chicken, equals the price of turkey
and is vastly superior from every stand
point to either
Years ago people said the raising Q
chickens would be overdone, yet today
there are hundreds Of large exclusive
poultry farms and fancy breeds are bring
ing as good prices as they ever did
Nearly every farmer in the land raise:
cattle and still it is not unusual tor {
single fine Jerseyor Hereford to sell fol
$4,000. A plug horse can be bought fol
from $25 to $40, but thoroughbred
brings many times that much and even G
fair roadster commands $125 to 5000
1t is the same with Belgians.

Best Butter In the World.

The butter Of Denmark is considered
superior to that of all other countries.
1t brings the highest price in fancy
markets and can be found all over the
world in shops where luxuries are
sold. In South America, South Africa,
in the East and West Indies, In India,
Egypt and in tropical countries gener-
ally it is used by epicures, who pay 81
a pound for 1t in tins Of one, two and
three pounds weight. No other coun-
try has been able to produce butter
that will stand changes Of climate so
well.
Refrigerator ships are now found on
nearly all the big steamship routes,
and they can carry perishables as long
and as far as necessary, but butter
shipped by the ordinary cargo steamer
usually melts and remains in liquid
state as long as it is exposed to the
tropic heat. When 1t passes into the
temperate zone again, 1t hardens, and
the change usually spoils it for the
taste, entirely destroying the favor and
leaving it like ordinary grease or OIL
The Danes, however, produce a butter
which will endure this ordeal without
affecting It's flavor or sweetness, and
they are the only people Of whom this
may be said.-Chicago Herald.
