NIPISSING TITLE,
Interesting Questions Arise in the Fa
nous Cobalt Camp

Within the past week two or three
incidents of a most unusual nature have
again served to attract attention to the
camp of Cobalt Ontario, Canada, SAYS
the Mining Reporter. Since the ex-
cceding richness OF the district was
proved. the titles TO property have been
assailcd by many who have at one time
or another been miners or prospectors
in the camp. The provincial law
worked in such a manner as to make ii
attractive 20 adverse claims on which
various men had worked without max
ing the necessary discovery of mineral.
IT was subsequently thought that the
Government had so settled the matter
as TO make investment safe and salts.
factory, but late developments make 1T
appear not so.
When the Guggenheim interests en-.
tered the Cobalt field it was thought
that the matter of titles would not
handicap operations, and many IN
vestors fastened TO follow the example
and purchase stock in various compan~
les. Now. after having paid small
fortune as a preliminary instalmeut on
a purchase price OF Sl0,OO0,0O0, the
Gugpenheims have abandoned the pro-
iect for the reported reason that sufh-
cient time was not allowed for. the ex~
animation OF the title TO their salts
faction.
Another incident which is rather un-
usual and which indicates the gravity
Of the situation is the report that the
Canadian Cabinet at Toronto is to sit
for the purpose of considering the titles
TO certain rich properties in the Cobalt
district The many rumors have made
this step advisable in order 10 protect
the industry. and il is probable that
not a few titles will be adjudicated be-
fore the end is reached.

ONE RAILROAD DAY,
Rhyolite Does Not Desire Any Penny
Ante Spasms.


The railroad day occasion for Rhyo-
lite has again been indefinitely post
poned. this time at the instance of j.
Ross Clark, president of the Las Vegas
& Tonopah Monday President Frazer
of the Board of Trade received wire
from Mr.. Clark stating that on account
of the newspaper reports TO the ehect
that the weather has been very severe,
and the fact that the holiday season
is approaching: when everybody Will be
busy. he deemed IT advisable to defer
the celebration until the latter part of
January.
This was the position taken when
the first postponement was made over
a month ago. and later when the matter
was reconsldered n minority contingent
urged that the day be deferred for
practically the same reasons.
Acting on Mr.. Clark S telegram, Mr..
Frazier called meeting of the board
of directors of the Board of Trade Mon
day night, and disregarding Mr.. Clark s
suggestion that a celebration day be
set for the latter part of January, a
resolution was adopted postponing the
event indefinitely. He was wired to
this effect.
There is a pretty strong sentiment IN
camp that this should be some time in
the spring. when all three railroads
have arrived. Instead Of having two
or three little pcnnyantc spasms, a
great many think IL vastly better to
have one general celebration and to
make it An event in keeping with the
Importance of the occasion-the advent
of three railroads into Bullfrog district.

NOVEMBER Was GOOD
MONTH FOR METALS
Continuous Strength Was Fea.
ture Throughout the List
of Precious Metals.

November was characterized by con
tinued strength in the markets for sll
the metals. Copper opened the month
al 22M cents 20 22la cents for lake. and
81 5.l6 cents TO % cents for electro
lytic, says the Engineering and Mining
Journal. At the close the quotations
were 22$s cents to 22lc cents for lake,
and u Is cents TO 22ls cents for elec.
trolytlc. Sales OF comparatively small
quantities were made at somewhat high
er figures. but onr quotations, as al
ways. represent the prices at which
the great bulk OF the transactions are
made. The special feature of the month
was the sale Of 20,000,000 pounds by
the Calumet and Hecla for delivery
during the first three months Of 1907.
All Of the large producers are well sold
ahead, but some further than others,
although very little business has been
done for delivery beyond March. The
outlook is that the price for copper
will go still higher
Tho price for spelter at the beginning
of the month was about 6.25 cents in
New York. 1t rose slowly but steadily
during the month, closing at about 6.i5
cents. The market for zinc ore at Jop.
lin also rose, but there is still a good
margin between the price Of spelter and
the price for zinc in the ore in favor of
the smelters. The price for lead re
mained unchanged during the month
as fixed by the trust, which controls
the wholesale market in this metal
Small lots of outside metal have sold
at an advance over the contract price
as at several periods during the current
year.
The market for antimouy continued
very strong, without material change
in the quotations. The market for tin
has been lifeless. and fluctuations III
the price have been within a very
narroW range.

FIGHTING CANKER WORMS.
Interesting Experiment by Prof.
Slingerland at Cornell
University.

The class taking advanced work in
economic entomology at Cornell, N. Y,
made an interesting experiment,
writes Prof Slingerland in the Cornell
Countryman.
For several years a group of large
elm trees about a mile from the uni
versity campus have been nearly de-
foliated by hordes of spring canker-
worm caterpillars. These little meas
laid on the bark by moths that emerge
in March and April from pupae in the
soil beneath the trees.
The male moths have well-developed
wings and fly readily, but the females
are wingless and are thus obliged to
crawl up the trees and deposit their
eggs on the bark of the branches. The
ascent is always made at night. Vari-
Gus devices, such as sticky bands, and
wire, tin or stiff paper barriers, have
been used on the trunks of trees to
prevent the ascent of the wingless fe-
male moths.
Recently fy-paper manufacturer
has made tree-tanglefoot mixture,
and with liberal sample furnished
by the firm, several of the infested
elm trees were treated. One tree was
more than two feet in diameter and
the bark was very rough. 1t took sew
eral pounds of the tanglefoot to make
a complete band six or eight inches
wide around the trunk, several feet
from the ground. The application was
made on March Is, just before the
moths began running" up the trees. (
Great masses of the wingless fe-
male moths were found March 81 on
the lower edge of the sticky band, and
thousands of flying males were caught
all over the band. A few females
were able to get over the band where
dead males had formed narrow bridges
across the tanglefoot. Several pints
or many thousands of the females
were caught and killed by the band
on this one large tree. AS each fe-
male may lay 200 or more eggs, the
tree was relieved from feeding hun
dreds of thousands Of canker-worms
in May. The experiment was thus a
striking success and has furnished a
valuable object lesson"
Yes, and it should furnish useful
object lesson to the farmer. The
spring spring canker-worm often at
tacks other trees besides elms-apple
trees, for instance. If the tanglefoot
preparation is not readily obtainable,
other sticky substances may be used.
Tar, printers ink, thick molasses,
bird-lime, or bands of fy-paper, are
all more or less useful for the pur
pose.
If fy-paper is used, remember that
it should be at least five inches wide,
and must fit close to the bark. On
rough-bark trees, the bark must either
be scraped smooth where the band is
to go, or all depressions must be filled
with clay or putty, so as to make a
smooth surface on which to fasten the
sticky band.

THE BOTTLE CANNON.
How Fun May Be Obtained with a
Thick Bottle and Some
Chemicals.

Take a thick empty bottle-a vinegar
quart bottle will do-and pour water
into it until it is one-third full. In the
water dissolve one Of the powders-bi-
carbonate of soda-that druggists sell
to make settler water.
Put the contents of the other pack
age, tartaric acid, in a playing card
rolled up into tube and tied around
with a thread, explains the Chicago
News, one end of the tube being sealed,
or plugged, with two pellets of plotting
paper
Suspend this miniature cartridge
from the cork by means of piece of
thread attached by a tin tack. The
open end of the cartridge must be up
permost, and when all is ready, you
cork the bottle tightly, having allowed
enough thread to swing the cartridge
clear of the water.
To explode the cartridge and dis
charge your novel cannon, you lay the
bottle horizontally upon two pencils on
the table; they will act as your gun
carriage.
Pretty soon the water will penetrate

SEARCH FOR HIDDEN GOLD.
Cask Of Precious Metal That Was
Stolen and Buried in Indian
Territory. .aF

During the closing years of the civil
war, when the Indian territory was the
habitation of scores of lawless bands
who lived by pillaging the country, a
cask of gold was taken from party OF
soldiers on their way to Fort Gibson and
buried somewhere in the vicinity OF
what is known as Willow Springs.
Upon the arrival of the soldiers at the
fort without the gold large detach-
ment of soldiers was sent out against
the bands of outlaws. A battle ensued
in which all of the outlaws were killed
except one. This one was sentenced to a
life term in the penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth
Hope had never faded from this man
and he expected some day to be par
doned and then to return for the hidden
treasure. AS the years rolled by, how
ever, the confinement broke this man in
health, and few weeks ago he passed
away in his cell in the government
prison. Before he died, though, this
man told his attendants the story of the
robbery and as nearly as possible where
the treasure was buried.
A party has been in the Willow
Springs country for several weeks
searching for the lost gold, but no trace
has been found. So much faith has been
pinned to the dying mans story, though,
another search is to be instigated. The
previous hunters have been persons en-
tirely unfamiliar with the country, but
now one of Vinita's young men who has
lived near Willow Springs since child
hood will be employed and thorough
search made

THE MARKER FOR ORCHARD.

When you have your ground, say 10
acres more or less, ready, establish
base lines, writes Michigan orchard
list to the Rural New Yorker. Then
draw this wheel from one tree point
to one on opposite side Of field back
and forth, until marked one way.
Then mark the field the other way,
and at the point where the wheel
marks cross is the place for tree.
The hole is to be dug there, and the
tree is to be set on line each way
with the mark. Not a stake need be
set except to go by in marking. One
man can work ground for 1000 trees
in eight hours, and the trees will be
in perfect line each way. Any man
who can follow the line of two stakes
can do the marking. A variation of
mans body from side to side does
not affect the wheel 8 or 10 feet back,
and the wheel mark is so unlike any
other mark that there is no danger
of losing the line. In setting 1,4O0
peach trees saved at least $40 by
this method, beside having every tree
exactly in line.
