Millions From lutte Mines.

BUTTE, Nov. l3.-The annual re.
port OF Deputy State Mine Inspector
w. B. Orem on the mines in this
city has been forwarded to Governor
Toole. 1t covers a period of 10 months
from Dec. 81, 1904. to Nov. l, of the
present year.
The document goes into many points
OF interest. especially the one de Ealing
with the continuation of the ore as the
lower levels are reached. Mr.. Orem
says that development during the pas
year has proven that the deep ore
bodies are as extensive on the loves,
levels opened up Us they we're on the
upper levels. He also says that dur.
ing the year the large companies il
this district yielded more than $751;
DOC. 900 in mineral and have paid GU,
more than Sl2, OOO, 900 in wages 10
miners. which means that the wages
paid by the big companies during the
past year amounted to $1,000, 900 pc,
month.
The report says: "The average
number employed daily at these prop
critics Ia nearly 5000 miners and 2,OOt
surface men,. The coming year will
undoubtedly show an increase IN pro
duction on account of some of the
largest producers being compelled t.
install machinery Of rreater canacity
the present plants now being taxed te
the limit.
1--WE are in the era of deep mining
in the Butte district: the depth Of mos
of the large mines runs from 1900 t
, 400 feet, the latter being the greates'
depth at present.
The report shows that 10 men were
killed In the mines in Butte between
Dec. 81, 1904, and Nov. l, 1905. Thir
ty.three men were injured more or les
! seriously, but not fatally.

No Doctor Bills

Swedish doctors never send bills 10
their patients. Each patient pays what
he deems just or is able to give. The
rich pay the physician literally,
whether they have need of his SER
vices or not, if he has been only re-
tanned by them. The poor, If they
possibly can, pay him a small sum,
and the very poor pay him nothing
Yet he attends the poor as faithfully
as he does the rich.

near Antlers 1t is about four miles
southwest of Davis on what is known
as Wild Horse creek. Those who
have visited this cave claim that it
seems to widen out into large under

They say it can be traversed 300
yards without difficulty, but from
there on for quarter of a mile it is
a difficult task. Notches are cut in
the wall, and Indians living in the vi
cinity claim that the cave was once
inhabited by robbers.

SaWdust In Manure.

Will sawdust injure manure? | am

w. II. Carter, Josephine Co., Ore.
No. The amount of manure, how
ever. should be greater than that of
sawdust. Since it is slow to decay, it
affords, after discharging it's absorbed
fertility, an excellent mulch for deep
rooted grass crops. Much in expert
ence goes to show that excessive
quantities applied, especially to clay
soils. will produce an undesirable acid
ity.

AGRI((EIUR[i
The Corn Crop,

| never realized the Importance Oh
the corn crop to the United States till
| started to study up the statistics of
corn growing. l was under the impres.
sion that 1t was grown on but limit.
ed area and that there were many
states in which corn was not grown al
all except little sweet corn for the
family. My surprise was great to find
that corn is grown in every state in
the Union.
There are over five million farms in
the United States, and corn is grown
on SO per cent of them. That leaves
only 15 per cent of the farms without
corn, and many of those are fruit
farms, chicken farms, stock farms and
ranches. think crop that is so ex.
tensively grown is well worthy all the
attention that is given it by the agri-
cultural colleges and farmers insti-
tutes.
| used to wonder why at the farm
ers' Institutes the speakers did not
pay more attention to the growing Of
other crops, such as beans, turnips,
carrots, green peas and the like. /
asked a professor why they did not
have more variety in their programs,
and he replied that the first work Of
the stations was to teach the farmers
how to grow corn, potatoes and the
few leading crops which are of so
much Importance.
l realize the truth Of that now.
Especially so when l consider further
that the five great states in this little
western country produce half Of the
corn grown in the United States. If
any people ever studied corn we
should study it, and l propose to do
my share.
After all, begin to see that we can
get rich selling corn and still keep up
the fertility of our farms, if we go at
the matter right. The starch in the
kernel of the corn is only the carbon
caught by the leaves from the air. We
are thus ceiling only air so far as the
starchy matter is concerned, and that
is large part Of the whole crop, for
it also comprises most of the fiber in
the stalk. 1t may be difficult to keep
up the fertility of our land in raising
wheat, but not in raising corn, and II
we don't learn how 70 both raise corn
and improve our land it seems to me
we are stupid.
am more of an enthusiast in corn
growing than ever, but l realize that
we have got to cut loose from some Of
the out-of-date methods we have been
following. Here is for more study on
the problem of corn raising.

SAN PEDRO, April 16.-It took

resulted in the defeat of the home team
by the score of to /. Every point in
the game was vigorously contested and
it was only in the seventh inning that
an effective placed hit gave the Owls
their opportunity TO tally. In the next
inning the San Pedro nine evened
things Dip, when Smith crossed the
plate on Jensen's liner. The tie was
unbroken at the conclusion OF the
ninth. The tenth and eleventh ended
with no tallies, but in the twelfth the
owls seemed to have recognized the
fact that something must be done.
Adams came up with a left over the

when their chance To retaliate came

work was performed by Hartman and
