po-atIon VIII probably be for not TO ex-
coed n half million. The feature of this
is that II is not a stock peddling scheme
as the gentlemen concerned have all
the capital required to operate the var
ious enterprises and only desire to get
their business where they can handle it
with greater facility. The capitaliza-
ton OF the individual companies Will b.
taken as a basis of estimates that will
be made to determine what portion OF
the capital stock of the merger COM
pany shall be ssigned to each. 1t is CO.

pended through the exploration com
Dany and all receipts Will go to II as
well, hence a stockholder in It has
pro rata share in the earnings or any
individual enterprise and also helps
bear the loss of any possible unsuccess-
full investment. Mr.. Ryan in all prob
ability will be the president Of the new
exploration company and Mr.. Dudley
will retain the business management
as at present.
Another thing that will most Likely
claim the attention of Mr.. Dudley, Is
project of Mr. Ryan's to submit a bid
for the construction of the Tonic dam.
when the time comes. His purpose IN
this is mainly to keep busy the con-
struction outfit that has been for long
time employed in Mexico.
The Ryan-Whitney interests built the
chihuahua & Pacific railroad west from
chihuahua through the Sierra Madre
mountains toward the big timber re-
gions in which Mr.. F. NJ. Murphy and
associates are interested, but that work
has stopped for the present and they
now have idle. several hundred mules,
a vast amount of tools and equipment
ard many trusted employees. 1t IS eX-
pensive to keep them while idle, yet it
would be even more expensive to direct
their energies toward some enterprise
too small to be made remunerative. Nv
Ryan will probably have Mr.. Dudley
look over the Tonic enterprise and pre-
pare to submit a bid for the work at
the proper time In the event that a.
contract is secured. a construction COM
pany will be organized with headquar-
tiers in this city. the sole purpose o.
whose existence will be to construct the
dam.
Mr. Dudley was formerly a New
Yorker. but eight years ago he was in
duced to go to Chihuahua to take
charge of Mr.. Ryan's interests. under
an q greement to stay there six months.
He readily became satisfied with his
conditions and has made it his home
ever since. Incidentally it has proven in
financial way to have been very
largely to the interest of both himself
and Mr.. Ryan, that he has done so.

VIM. X. Ryan Purposes Merging Mex
lean and Arizona Investments.

Il. NJ. Dudley. of Chihuahua, Mexico,
is expected to arrive here this morning
and his coming will no doubt mark the
initiation OF one or more large enter
prises. Mr.. Dudley is the general man
ager Of the business interests in Mexico,
of Mr.. VIM. x. Ryan, of New York.
VINO spends his winters in Phoenix and
who with his family now occupies a
cosy cottage in Bennett addition.
The personality Of Mr.. Ryan is well
known, he being a son of Mr.. Thomas
f. Ryan, of the firm of Ryan & Whit
ney, of New York, frequently referred
to as the Ryan-Whitney syndicate
through the fact of their immense IN
vestments in various enterprises includ-
ing the Metropolitan railroad, the Nor
ton Trust company, and various banks.
railroads etc, too numerous to mention.
Mr. William X Ryan while being also
largely interested in the various enter
prises covered by the operations of the
gentlemen above referred to- has also
on his personal account some large
dealings in the west and south. He
purchased year or so ago. the control
ling interest in the Portland mine at
Cripple Greek, a famous property al
~
dividually a large number of fine mlnes
in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, and
bordering on the line of Sonora, and
is also interested in various other prop
critics. with other capitalists whose
names are known the country over. In
cidentally he has under consideration
the financing of a property near Je-
rome, Arizona. though he has not yet
taken hold of the enterprise and viii
not till carefully reported upon by Mr..
Dudley, perhaps within the next few
days.
Mr. Dudley's principal business here
at this time is to confer with Mr.. Ryan,
and if all is satisfactory, incorporate
under Arizona laws, what will proba-
bly, be called 1.-THE Continental Explor-
alton Co." The purpose of this COM
pany will be the merging for better or
gani2ation and economical conduct Of
all the mining interests In Mexico and
Arizona, of Mr.. Ryan and his hssoci-
ates. At the present time he has a
number of mines that are returning him
good dividends and others that are not.
while he has still others in the prospect
stage that need development to prove
their worth. And his associates are to
some extent similarly situated. The
business has become so large that Mr..
Dudley has conceived this method for
centralizing his energy and the better
handling of the investments under h s
charge. The exploration company will
embrace In the individual corporations,
a combined value of probably four or

Yesterday, Mr. Foster, secretary of
the company. had assays made of the
ore samples brought from the mine and
he is now wearing a bright smile ow-
ing to the very satisfa Glory returns:

were excellent. The general average
sample from the face of the lower
workings returned in assay, ITO per
cent. copper and s5.37 gold, equalling a
total value of $25.62 "A splendid show
ing said Mr.. Foster, the gold alone, viii
more than pay for the mining and
working of the ores. Everything has
come up to our highest expectation. and
at the beginning of the year, the most
efficient machinery that can be pur-
chased, will be installed at the mine
for its future and thorough working"
Regarding the returns from the Sc
lected ore. Mr.. Foster was reticent hrt
said, at went 81 $40 copper and SO 10
gold. a total value of $500 per ton at
the present copper quota ton of 1919
cents. so you can conclude what nature
OF property we have got both as to It's
size and value"
r. II. Greene. the treasurer of the
company, was so highly elated. that he
had shelf erected in his Office window
for a display of the ore. It certainly
makes a very fine showing and there
appears to be no question respecting
the greatness of the property. The

II will be remembered that w. Z
Deity, the engineer and general man

mine about a. month ago by a special
telegram from the foreman of the min.

finest class of ore ever encountered in
the mine. w. c. Foster, secretary of the
company, received another wire while

verifying the very pleasing condition Of
affairs. on the arrival of the engineer
at the property. this was modestly yer
flied by his personal telegram.
Mr.. Deity returned from the mine last
Monday and was interviewed Yesterday
regarding the property. He stated. that
operations at the mine had continued
uninterrU ptedly since December of last
year. and from 20 to 80 men had been
constantly employed during that time
Within that period, nearly 900 feet Of
work has been completed besides a
large amount of surface Improvement
The work on the mine itself has been
confined absolutely to development
within the ore body, which is composed
of lime, iron and ore. All the workings
are entirely in this material. there be-
ing not a pound of waste in any part Of
the ground cut through. Asked regard
ing the openings, etc, Mr.. Deity said
the workings consist of a vertical shaft,
cross cuts. drifts at a level of 1902 feet
in shaft. and wines, one of which is
now III feet from the drift level. 1t we s
at $50 feet depth in this mine that the
picturesque and specimen ore was en-
countered. MIR. Deity says that this
was the finest and best chara cter of ore
he had ever seen in any mine: In fact,
it could not possibly be better. The
workings went through 16 feet of this
formation. a general average of the
face was taken and also a select sample
of the ore.

Dresden china began its reign at the

1t has had three periods-Kings, Mar

The factory marks traced Oh the bot

period-the oldest Qking's) being the
monogram A. X. and the wand Of Es-

with the dot or circle between the ham
dies, were first used In 1921, and the

accompanied by letters and numbers.

How a Glass Eye Acts.

A glass eye has never so free range
of movement as the real one, and when
the owner tuyns his eyes strongly in
any direction the glass eye lags behind
the other, so producing squint. Then
the pupil of the glass eye is Of course
Of fixed size. while the natural pupil
dilates and contracts not only with
varying amounts Of light but with
varying emotions. Then again the
white of the eye varies In tint greatly
from day to day, being slightly blood
shot during headaches and yellow dur
ing bilious attacks. The differences In
color between the two eyes caused by
these changes are even more easily no
ticed than the differences in the pupils.

COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but

Small Fruits and Berries.
EVERY FARMER SHOULD HAVE LIBER.
AL SUPPLY FOR HOME USE.

Every farm should have supply of
small fruits, plums, pears, and cherries.
And there is no good reason why the
farmers family should not have good
supply of berries in their season. Now
as the busy season of seed-time is almost
here, it would be well for the farmer,
who has not these luxuries, to plan for
planting a few small fruit trees and vines,
sufficient to supply the family needs.
These luxuries not only promote good
health and give pleasure, but are profit
able as we'll, for they can be made to
contribute in no small way to the farm
er's bill of fare.
Many out of the way waste places
could be utilized by setting out these
trees, vines, etc. With what care the
farmer could easily give them, they
would yield most satisfactory returns.
In the case of trees, once planted, but
little time would be required to give
them the necessary cultivation. In the
matter of raising berries, many of us In
various ways waste time enough to care
for a berry patch of dimensions ample
enough to meet the demands OF good
sized family. Besides, after all, ii
doesn't take so very much time; it is a
little attention now and then at just the
right time that is needed. The straw
berry, raspberry, blackberry, and goose
berry can be raised successfully in this
way. The same is true of the curran
and grape.
In the matter of varieties and methods
of cultivation, it is well-nigh impossible
to go far astray when the agriculture
papers and experiment stations furnisl
so much literature regarding these sub.
iects. Reliable manuals can also be hac
which will teach the novice all the es
sentials he needs to know in order to
insure success. We would only add tina
in selecting varieties it is best to choose
from the list of old and we'll tried kinds,
and in the matter of planting, give plent!
