shales. l think that the process of
making the paint will not cost over
80 ton. Paint sells at from SIS to
good mineral paint.
Il believe that small values of gold
and silver can be extracted from IRE
go county shales by either the Gage
process or the electrical processes. If
the Gage process can produce Sc ton,
i t will probably be the best, because
1T is very inexpensive. If we can take
the refuse from the Gage process and
manufacture it into by-product
which will net So ton, it will add
very materially to the profits in a
Trego county gold mill. Extracting
the gold from the shales converts the
dirt into a fine powder, which is the
principal step in preparing the Shale
for the manufacture of paint. The
gold extracting process is therefore
accomplishing double purpose"
1t is pretty well demonstrated now
that the Trego county shales bear
both gold and silver in small quanti-
ties. Tests which have been made by
l. lOI LoNCWCll eilo oGHCIS oCCuI w
dictate that some Shale has more gold
and silver than other. The amount
has varied in most mysterious and
elusive manner, and has done much
to encourage the belief that the
shales under test have sometimes
been ''salted.'
Mr.. Fahrig says that he believes
that gold and silver exist in the Ire
go county shales very much as they
exist in quartz mines; namely, in
seams, ribs and pockets. He thinks
that by locating seam of gold bear
ing shale, it can be followed very
much as a seam in quartz mine is
followed.
Mr.. Fahrig is a chemist of consider
able repute in Philadelphia. He has
done work for John Wanamaker, and
other capitalists. He is brought here
by w. III Cushing, brother-in-law of
Charles Lantry. The Lantry syndi-
cate is employing Mr.. Eahrig &c visit
the shale fields, and conduct some ex-
periments with an electrical process
which he has invented. Mr. Fahrig
will explore the Trego shale fields,
and take some specimens back to
Philadelphia for assay.

From the Gold Fields.

The mill runs in Smoky Hill camp
is becoming an ''old story or rather
an expected ana common occurrance-
nine days wonder and then an es-
tablished fact. The last mill run of
last week was somewhat surprising,
and yet to those working the shale it
did not seem unusual. From about
ten tons of ore the product was gold
ingot of about 800 value and silver
running from $50 to S1.00 per ton.
During the past week Mr.. Gage has
been absent but is expected to return
on Friday. In the meantime the mill
has been in constant operation. Two
runs have already taken place and the
third one will be off Friday morning.
The mill men are expecting to reach
the product of 20 tons of ore this
week. and while the former mill runs
have fully demonstrated the practi-
cability of the process and the values
of the shale, the results of the pres
ent week will add new evidence and
confirmation of the undeveloped
wealth of Smoky Hill. 1t has been
suggested that Prof. Hayworth, of
the State University, be induced to
write one of his characteristic con-
formations of Kansas mud, as there
are scientifically ignorant people who
believe it carries values.
Early in the week DIR. Fahig, con-
nected with the great electro-chemic-
al institution of Philadelphia, and
gentleman of extensive scientific
learning and wide experience in ore
deposits ano thin treatment, made an
official visit to Smoky Hill for the
purpose of thoroughly Investigating
its deposits. While the results of his
Investigations will be made known
when completed, it may be stated
that he was greatly impressed with
the apparent values of shale and the
vast extent of the deposits.
Among the great number of visitors
arriving at this place during the week
were: Mr.. Cushing and Mr.. Veale, of
Topeka; Attorney Saum and Dave
Taylor. of Hays City; the Bailey
Brothers, of Trego county, and Capt.
H. NJ. Phillips, treasurer of Shawnee
county. On Monday, Mr.. E. r. Beach,
of the Globe-Democrat editorial staff,
arrived from st. Louis, and is STAYING
upon his farm south of Smoky river.
He makes periodical visits to this sec
tion of Kansas to enjoy the strength
ening and invigorating ozone of the
sweeps over the hills and plains at
this altitude.

The Campbell Method of Farming.

The Campbell method" of wheat
growing is attracting the attention
of the farmers of Northwestern Kan
sas and the adjacent counties of Ne
braska. 1t is said that he produced
this year forty bushels an acre on land
that by the old method ordinarily
yields ten or twelve bushels. Camp
bells farm is in Graham county, Kan
sas, but he is Nebraska man and he
is operating with capital furnished by
G. w. Holdredge, general manager of
the burlington s. Missouri River rail-
road. G. E. Adams, an extensive
stock raiser and farmer of Superior,
Neb-, who is on the outlook for adj
vanced ideas in agriculture, told a cor
respondent of the Star recently that

good thing and that it is very simple.
A heavy roller is all a farmer needs
and nature will do the rest. He rolls
the field after the wheat is sown and
then he rolls it again after the plant
is up. Next he turns in the cattle
until winter sets in, and in the spring
he puts on the roller again and keeps
it moving until the plant is nearly
ready to joint. The object of rolling
the field is to form a compact surface,
which operates as a mulch and pre-
the plant gets all the benefit of the
snow and rain, and the result is Wig
orous and healthy plant and conse-
quently generous yield of grain

1t has been discovered that the IRE
go county gold shale can be made into
very good paint-not gold paint but
the red mineral paint which is used
in vast quantities for painting freight
cars, railroad buildings, bridges and
such structures.
This discovery may be of considera-
BILE value in the successful extraction
of gold from Trego and Ellis county
shales, for it gives a by-producu worth
S15 ton for all the refuse from the
gold mills. Shale which has been
worked over for gold by either the
Gage chemical process, or the various
electrical processes, is thereby prepar-
ed for an additional process which
converts III into paint.
Specimens of the Trego shale are
now being tested by the mechanical
departments of the Santa Fe railroad
and other roads.
The discovery that the shale con-
tains all the elements for mineral
paint was made by J. L. Lovewell. of
this city, who has been assaying and
testing the Trego shales for some
years past. He said to-day. in speak
ing of the discovery:
Il have known for some time that
by burning Trego shale it could be
turned to rich red color Recently
tried adding a little copperas to the
shale. This. with certain other man
ipulations, forms the body for as good
mineral paint as / ever saw can
be made in various shades of red,
varying from yellowIsh red to a We
netian red.
Mineral paint must contain three
elements: aluminium, silica and iron-
