one member Of the council and two
members of the house for Santa Fe

A Horse MaIady.

Most farmers are familiar with the
horse that puffs and wheezes at his
work. The disease Is technically
known as roaring" and is said to be
similar to asthma In humans. There
Is really no cure for it, but trouble
may be greatly alleviated by treat
ment, and especially by proper feed
ing. If the disease Is not so seated
that the animal cannot do farm work,
then that given it should be light and
the feed should consist of little hay,
and this wet each time; feed mainly
on grains. Take one drachm iodide Of
potassium and mix with one-half
drachm nux vomica. Give this dose
twice a day for two or three weeks
during each bad attack, and during
the period let the work of the horse
be that which does not require much
speed. The care and treatment indi-
Gated will relieve the animal greatly,
although it is doubtful II 1t will ever
amount to much for steady work.

In the first ACCIDENT of its kind in
the history of the CRANKY mines, and
the first fatality of any kind for a
number OF months, at Phoenix, two
men were instantly killed Saturday
night in the Knob Hill mine, in this
camp. A force of men were working
on the night shift, about 400 feet from
the portal in the No. 2 tunnel, when,
without warning a portion of the roof
broke away and covered Thomas NAL
10y and James Crabb with tons of
rock, death being instantaneous.

Big Irrigation Project.

Spokane, Oct. 27.-Nearly 100000
acres of land in central Washington,
forming a gigantic loop through the
Big Bend country from the north end
of Douglas county to Pasco and circl-
ing up the Snake valley towards Spo-
kane and the Palouse, are likely to
have the immense benefits of irriga-
ton. Over three fourths of this vast
territory, about 100000 acres, will
get its water supply from the Spokane
river, few miles above this city. The
feasibility of this vast project is what
over dozen of Uncle Sans engineers
are now investigating.

MINING NOTES.

There is good chance that the Hen

An especially strong stock company

Douglas group in the Pine Creek dis

The hills surrounding WardneF, Ida

dynamite, as this is the time of the

their assessment work. The Empire
State mine has a crew of men out on
its claims doing assessment work.
The Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine at
Wardner has opened an immense body
of ore at great depth on the Sullivan
side. The strike was made 500 feet
lower than where the ore shoot was
mined above. "A long crosscut was
driven from the Kellogg tunnel to tap
the ore shoot, which is said to far sur
pass the expectations of the company
in both richness and extent.
c. w. Beale, representing the Hecla,
Hunter and Frisco mines in the Occur

as follows: Hecla, 1880; Hunter,
$780, Frisco, $500. The Bunker Hill
& Sullivan has paid $4,000, being it's
1902 taxes as compromised.
Judge Clancy of Butte has signed

VaIue of Alfalfa,

1t hrs been demonstrated that alfal-
IA can be grown in nearly all of the
States and when farmers, and dairy
men especially, learn of its great feed
ing value 1t will be found on every
farm. Once established it may be cut
several times a year and for many
years. 1t is rich in protein and when
fed with corn fodder makes nearly a
balanced ration, furnishing the proper
ton of protein needed by stock during
the winter. Dairymen have long rec
ognized the necessity of feeding grains
or other fodder containing protein, but
groan under the expense when the pro-
TEN feeds must be bought. If alfalfa
will furnish the bulk of the expensive
protein, as it undoubtedly viii, a
chance to save considerable in the cost
of feeding is offered by growing al
falfa.

While most horses on the farm are
properly fed, and In some cases under
fed rather than overfed. there are
farmers who are not judicious feeders,
and when the animal gets out of or
der they depend upon condition pow
ders TO set it straight instead of regu-
lating the feed. 1t may not be gener-
ally known that prolonged use OF
condition powders will produce indi-
gestion of a most violent type Horses
that are fed on grains largely, and
who do not perform a great deal of la
Dor, are quite liable to indigestion, and
the easiest way to cure the trouble Is
to cut off the grain for week or more
and feed exclusively of bran mashes
and good hay,

When horse is running away 1t is
then that the driver usually becomes
as scared as the horse and the run
away is not helped much. The driver
needs to keep his head at time like
this, even though he should lose 1t at
other times. What the driver needs to
do is to pull vigorously on one line
and then on the other with such rapid
succession as to confuse the animal so
that his fear may be removed. A

because the market has been dull, with
no large buying orders.
The mill and mine owners and oper-
ators of the Galena-Joplin district have
consummated plans for a total shut
down of the mines and mills to force
the price of ere above the prices now
offered by the smelling combine. Elk
tensive operators in Kansas consider
this to be the most practical and eff
fective way of raising the price of ore
and holding the price on par with
the price of pig lead.
After working continuously for
nearly year, the Frisco mine at Gem,
Idaho, has closed Tor an indefinite pc
riod and all the employees have been
discharged, except the men who run
the pumps and the hoist. The mill will
close after few days to clean up all
the ore on hand. No reason is official
ly given, other than that orders came
from headquarters in the east. The
property has been shipping from 1000
to 1900 tons of concentrates a month
during 1903, and as many as ITO men
have been employed.
Frank Mccain, who has been work
ing on the new Jumbo mill in Buffalo
Hump, has arrived in Lewiston, Idaho,
from tho Hmm Mr. MoConn
that he had to walk from the Hump
to Grangeville, the roads being in
such fearful condition that teams could
not travel. There was foot of snow
at the Hump when he left, and even
deeper mud a good portion of the way
out. A large quantity of mining ma
chinery for the Lucky Lad company
is on wagons part way into the Hump
from the railroad, but it will probably
be necessary to wait for freezing
weather before the machinery can be
hauled to the mine. Mr. McGann says
the new Jumbo mil is working per-
fectly. The company expects to make
its first cleanup at the end of a 80
days run, when it is expected that
$4,000 in gold will be gathered from
the plates, being $1,000 for each stamp.

Good Gains From Locust Planting.
The cultivation of the locust tree was
recommended by Instructors Jones and
Morse of the Vermont station for GER
tain types of cheap barren land in
1897. One hundred seeding trees were
set in rows four feet apart each way.
At eleven years old they averaged six
teen feet in height and five inches in
diameter, Encouraged by this small
planting five thousand more Seeding
trees were planted in 1902 and 90 per
cent of the trees were alive at the
time of the report and making rapid
growth. This planting was made at
total expense of from $27 to $50 per
acre. Estimates are made of the pos
sible value Of the crop which it is be-
lieved at the twentieth year will be
about $3.50 per acre. Suggestions are
given for planting, and where there is
danger from attacks Of insects mixed
plantations are recommended in which
white and pitch pines, birch, elm and
box elder are believed valuable.
