ounToN CONSOLIDATED MINES.

Rico News.
The Dunton Consolidated Mines
company was organized early in 1904
for the purpose of developing u
group of twenty-five lode claims 10
Gated in the Dunton or Lone Cone
Mining district These properties
had all been prospected on surface.
and pay values in gold We're found in
several well defined veins, notably
On the America and Free Coinage
claims.
A crosscut tunnel was started a
year ago to cut the American vein,
which was encountered at horizon
tal depth of 800 feet from the mouth
of the tunnel, and proved to be over
FIVE feet of solid quartz carrying good
milling values in gold.
A drift was started on the vein on
its strike into the hill, and after
reaching point 200 feet from the
junction raise OF 100 feet was made
10 connect with tunnel No. 4, for tne
purpose of furnishing ventilation for
the property.
For a distance of 1876 feet the raise
was run through ore. much of which
will Justify shipping 10 the smelters
in its crude state.
In addition to this raise and tunnel,
considerable development in the way
of blocking out the ore body and com
mencing Slopes has been accomplish
ed.
Three elght-hour shifts are now be-
ing worked on the drift, and at a
point 1000 feet from the mouth of
the tunnel il is intended to make an
other raise of 200 feet to connect with
'unnel No 3. This main tunnel and
drift is 7x9 feet in the clear, and it is
estimated that the breast of the drift
will reach the 1,000-foot mark witnin
the next four months.

and. while he is extremely conserva'
tive, ne frankly admits that the prop
erty is responding to development
much more rapidly than he antlcipat-

Care of the Wood!ot.

The Bureau of Forestry of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. says in a
bulletin just issued: There is a right
way to do everything, and the care of
the Woodlot is not an exception To the
rule. The right way, moreover, is Of
ten quite simple, the good results which
follow being out of all proportion to
the time of labor expended. Too many
Woodlots are simply neglected, and by
far the greater number OF them are
misused for want of foresight or a
true apprehension of their value.
The first principles of right woodlot
forestry may summarized III a brief
list of don'ts, bS. which every woodlot
owner may profit with very little
trouble.
Don't dispose of your woodlot. You
need it for your own use. 1t can be
made TO give you fuel, posts, poles,
fence rails, even such timber, boards
and shingles as will keep the farmstead
and barns i'll repair.
Don't turn your wOodlot into a pas
ture. Tree seedlings are quickly bruis-
ed and crushed by the trampling of
livestock.
Don't thin your woodlot too heavily.
If sou do, large openings are made
through which the sunlight streams in
drying the soil and encoura ging the
growth of grass which should never be
suffered to replace the Spongy humuS
that forms the natural top layer of soil
in a healthy forest
Don't burn over the WOodlot. 1t has
been pointed out that the WOodlot is
rot fit for pasture purposes, but even
ii it We're. the burning over of the soil
would still do irreparable damage to
Young growth.
Don't forget reproduction. In thin
ming your Woodlot. have am eye to the
young growth. Spare it as much as
you can in telling ana hauling the logs
Don't do all your cutting in one
spot, just because il is trfe more
convenient tn do 50.
Don't let the carclessneSs of other
pe.:sonS do the damage to your wood
lot by fire which you refrain from do
ing yourself. A fire in 4 neighboring
field may creep into your wOOdlot and
burn over it, Scorching the trunks of
the trees or even setting the crowns
ablaZr.
Don't be in too great hurry to real
iZe on your wooilot investment. BE
satisfied with permanent revenue,
which is the interest on your forest
capital.
