 tining Company were filed with the county recorder yesterday. The con cern is capitalized for $50,000, and Is promoting the scheme for the erection of shelter at Wicken- burg.
 Coconino Sun: Through the ef- forts of w. D. Powell, president of the Black Rock Gold and Copper Company, additional copper claims have been added to those already controlled by that company The recent acquisitions are valuable property, and show a large body of rich ore at depth of eighty feet.
 Globe Times: A vast amount of freight and machinery passes through Kelvin daily for the Troy and Manhattan camps. Some new strikes of rich ore bodies have been made over there, and 1t now seems to be an assured fact that Troy is going to be one of the greatest min ing camps in Arizona-similar to Globe, Clifton, Bisbee or Jerome.
 Bisbee Review: Frank D. Qualey IS a guest at the Copper Queen hotel this week. MT. Dudley is operating group of mines in Sonora, about 120 miles below Douglas, where he is employing thirty-fve men. Ore is being taken out for shipment now that assays 95 ounces in silver, 8 per cent copper and $2 in gold. It is the intention of Mir Dudley to erect concentrator on this property this fall.
 Douglas International: There is d great deal of activity going on in the new mining town of Black Diamond. The smelter is being built, and at this writing has made considerable headway, with ore enough on the dumps, when fin ished, to keep it busy for three months. The hotel is nearing completion and it is expected to be ready for business on or about June 3rd. It will contain twenty sleeping rooms, with office, dining room, store-room, bath room and large and airy kitchen. The com pany store is very nicely fitted throughout. Mir. G. D. Marsh is manager, and J. c. Hearne, treas urer- The site selected for the townsite and shelter is well situa- ted and very extensive. There Is 8 telephone wire to the mines, a post office and two saloons.
 Prospector: It is announced that the Bunker Hill Mining Go of Tombstone will shortly put a force of men to work on their properties, several men being now at work preparatory to a systematic opening of same. There are but few resi- dents of Cochise county who are net familiar with the history of these mines, and they are generally known as among the most valuable in the district. They are surroun- ded by some of the most celebrated mines controlled by the Tombstone Consolidated Mines Co.,, and lie in an extremely rich belt of ore that runs through the camp. These mi mes have record of producing from six to eight hundred thousand dollars during the few years they were worked.

THE COTTON BOIL WORM.

EntomOlogiSt sherman's Plan for Getting
Bid Of the Pest.
Now is the time to cope with the
boil worm, which did so much dam
age to cotton in the Southern tier of
counties of North Carolina last year
This worm is exactly the same
species as the one which attacks
green corn in the ear, and it is by
using corn than that we fight the
worm.
Plant occasional rows of very
early sweet corn through the cotton
field, so that it shall be in tender ear
at the time the bolls are forming on
the cotton. The parent moths of the
boil worm will by this means be in
duoed to deposits the eggs on the corn
and much of the cotton will be
spared.
When the cotton bolls are we'll
formed and the ears of corn have be-
come badly infested with the worms,
the corn should be cut and fed to
cattle or hogs and the worms are
thus des troyed.
This method was explained last
summer in a letter to Mr.. N. S. Alex
ander, near Charlotte, and the letter
was published in the Observer, but
it seems we'll to reprint the advice at
this time.-Franklin Sherman, Jr =,
in Charlotte Observer.

All lands should be prepared in
keeping with natural growth of the
plant to be grown. One of my rea-
sons for bedding or ridging land for
Limaibush beans is to keep the fruit.
age from the water. Also bush snap
beans, parsnips, carrots and beets
want depth of soil below, as does the
satisfy or oyster plant. The prepara-
tiOn of land and the manuring is not
known by all persons. An advanced
lady wanted TO know why her snap
beans did so badly; a furrow was
opened and much rich stable manure
was filed in and some soil thrown
on, and when the dry weather set in
the vines died. Plant your beans in
good soil and put the manure on top
and it acts as mulohing as we'll.
So with ashes and rough manure.
After outing my Irish potatoes, 1
put on one pound of sulphur to the
bushel and rolled them we'll so as to
get the sulphur on all the pieces of
potato. The potato is heavy feeder
and must have it's food in short or
der. One man said TO me, "My land
is TOO rich now for potatoes" Land
may be rich and yet it may be In an
inert condition for the fruitage. 1
have seen cotton stalks grow to an
immense height and but little fruit.
So when we learn to grow the fruit
as we'll as the vine or weed, then it
is that we are getting our business
we'll in hand. ! have never had land
too rich for me to grow Irish or
sweet potatoes, but have had it too
poor.
It is often said that too much
guano causes firing in dry weather.
Crops are oftener fred for want of
fertilizer than by too much. All
fertilizers should be we'll stirred in
the furrow, so the plant will not
feed it all up at once.

Some statistician has compiled
figures on the consumption of oleo-
margarine in the United States. Ao-
cording to these figures as presented
to Congress during the discussion of
the "Oleo BlI'' 1O7, ,O45, ,O28 pounds
we're placed on the marke6 in 1900, a
little less than the consumption TO
day. This amount is sufficient to
give over a pound each to each man,
woman and child under the protec-
ton of the American flag, including
the Filipinos. The revenue collected
as tax on oleo in 1900 amounted to
81, ,545, ,785.18. Since 1885 more than
s59, 900, 900 pounds of oleomargarine

than $21, 900, 900 was paid as revenue.
