DIAMOND DRILLS
IN SOUTH AFRICA

Diamond drilling as a means of
locating the gold bearing reefs of the
Transvaal has been in general prac.
tice for many years. Unusual inter
est attaches to 1t at the present time,
owing to the large number of deep
ho les which are being sunk to prove
the existence and position of the ore
bodies at increasing distances from
the soutcrop. For this work larger
and larger drills have been used. and
within the past year or two numer.
GUS bore holes have been bottomed In
ore at depths from $500 to 5000
feet.
Upward of 900 diamond drills are
now 10 use IN South Africa, the pre-.
vailing types being the Sullivan and
Bullock, manufactured by the Sulli.
van Machinery company, Ut Chicago.
For the deep holes referred to, tha
Savorite drill is the Sullivan i'm.
proved class "P." rated capacity
1000 feet. The mining companies.
as a rule, let the work to con.
tractors, who furnish all tha equip,
ment aud expert operators, and de-
liver the core into the hands Ut the
company. American contractors
have recently broken all record, for
depth. James Tobin cUmpieted a
bore hole last December ut Doornk-
loof, sixteen miles west OF Randfon-
tein, at q depth OF 8, $50 feet. This
hole was sunk to prove the main reef
series, aud It is understood that the
results are conolu ,ive, although they
have not been made public. The
DETECTION was very slight. The Hrst
3, 200 feet were bored with a Sulli-
van size IN" drill, rated capacity
1000 feet; q size "P" drill OF latest
improved pattern, with rated oapac.
ity OF 1000 feet, was then put into
commission aud continued the hole
until Its completion at $500 feet;
700 feet OF size IN" rod, removing,
"2" Cure were used, the remaining,
$50 feet being "B," removing q l "a
inch core. The total load of these
rods was between fifteen aud sixteen
tons, which was handled by the Gu.
gine without difficulty. The actual
running time of this hole was four.
teen months, or an average OF nearly
400 feet per month. For the frst two
months two ten. hour shifts we're used.
and Tor the balance OF the time the
work was carried on the whole
twenty -four hours, divided into three
eight hour shifts. The rods we're
pulled In lengths Of sixty feet, the
height of the tubular steel derrick
being sixty-slx feet over all. The
time required to lower the rods at q
depth of 8. 900 feet was from three to
thres aud one.hslf hours, and from
three and one half tp four hours we're
to lit them.
This record has since been bettered
by hole sunk near Syringe. east of
} ohau uesburg, by John Skenke. This
hole wss begun May l, 1904, and
completed February 2. 1905, at
depth of 5.582 feet. A size up"
drill was also used here, power being
supplied by q 80 I. II. p. boiler.
One thousand feet Of IN" q inch
,ore) rods we're used, the remainder

hat used by Tobin. n.-Mining Re-

Dear Sir: The usual way to buy
paint is to take the lowest price by the
gallon. Mistake the buyer loses by
it how much +? Depends on the paint;
it is. so much a gallon, or SO much a
year. How much a gallon or year, do
you think ? AS much perhaps, as the
total price of the paint It may take
twice the number OflgallonS.

Go by the name: Deyoe s. Reynolds.
There's nothing cheaper. Go by the
price; there's nothing dearer, except
not painting at all. Poor paint is bet
ter than none.
What does it cost not to paint at
all? Can't figure it out exactly; say a
tenth of the building year, besides
looks.
What is poor paint worth, then !?

What will prove an investigation of deep interest to the live stockmen of Arizona is soon to be undertaken at the ex- perimental station of the agricul tural college at Mesilla Park, by Prof. J. J Vernon in charge of the station. The bureau of plant in- dustry is to aid in the experiments, which are aimed to determine. if possible, the food value of the sev- eral varieties of cac.i which four ish in the sandy and semi-arid sections of the territory. The ex- periments will be exhaustive, con- sisting of feeding cattle, sheep and goats with the cacti of various kinds, to find, if possible, which is of highest nutritive value, and in what proportion the cactus has value as compared with other range food. Last year the college made tests to determine the nutri- tive proportions of the several war; ities of cacti and this wear the practical feeding experiments will be undertaken. That the value Of cactus as food for cattle in excep- dry seasons has been re- cognized by practical range men is well known.

HIDES AND HORNS.

b1NEhe tilc DaiIu VI nurses ana the 70 iron from Tim Fell Range in the Chino valley and Hell's canon.
 Stockman; The Pitts Cattle Co.,, with ranges near Ash Fork recent ly received shipment of 2,000 head of cattle purchased from Platt X Becker, of Springerville.
 Stockman: The assessed valua- tion of cattle on the ranges of Gila county for the year 1905-6 is S4l,Sl0. A fair assessment when compared with some of the other counties.
 Stockman. c. E. Boyce, of Will Hams, has received TOO head of yearling steers purchased from Gus Becker, Al Pratt, Hank Sharp ard Bud Jones, all prominent cattle men of Apache county. They were loaded at Holbrook.
 Prospector: James Lamb came in last evening from his ranch in the Dragons. He reports that section of the country as being prosperous. The cattle are in ex- cellent condition and there are plenty of good feed and water on the ranges.
 Stockman Hon. Will c. Barnes, secretary of the New Mexico Cattle Sanitary board, and whose range is near Dorsey, that Territory, has purchased the yearling lilly Chro- matic by McGregor, dam Chromo by War Paint from the Preston stock farm in Minnesota.
 Stockman. It is encouraging to the cattlemen of the southwest, who raise cattle for feeders mostly {, to observe that the demand for good feeders is commencing to im- prove. Buyers of this class Of stock are of the opinion that prices are as low as they will be and buying is beginning to be more liberal.
 Stockman: Chas. Clark and Alex MeDermid of Flagstaff have pur- chased the George Newman band of sheep, numbering about 2,O00 head, including lambs. This will make a nice beginning and in few years they will rank we'll up among the sheep men of that sec ton. There is some encourage ment to go into that business just now.
 Stockman. The Black Cattle Go. is the name of new company just incorporated at Flagstaff byI George W. Black, IT,, Harrison Conrard and Eugene A. Sliker. The capital stock is placed at s50,- GOO. These men are all favorably known in that section, and the company starts out with every promise of a successful life before it,
 Stockman: Joe Pearce, an Apache county cattleman, who has been serving on the Arizona ranger force for some time, has rendered his resignation and returned to his home where his attention is re- quired with his own affairs. A man with a bunch of cattle should give them his personal attention to receive the best results, and this is what Mr. Pearce intends doing.
