fondness for his auto; that the old
gentleman should want to ride was
strange.
Alice's word was law, and the next
afternoon when the blue racer drew
away from in front of the Caravan
house Mr.. Caravan was established in
the tonneau, while Alice, beside Tom
my, saw that he kept down his speed.
They ran decorously along for several
miles until they came to the shore road,
which stretched its level length for a
couple of miles beside the lake.
"Want to go fast?" demanded Alice
as she turned to her parent.

miles an hour There were no inter-
secting roads along the lake and no
traffic, so that Tenley felt safe in let

HARVESTING APPLES.

Our orchard experience this year
leads US to believe that it would be
advisable to make two pickings Of ap-
pies at from two to three weeks
apart. The first time through the rip
est and largest fruit could be picked
of and marketed. This would not
only result in saving practically all of
the earliest maturing fruit, which usu-
ally falls to the ground and is wasted,
but it would also serve to relieve the
tree and enable it to mature the re-
naming apples in much better shape.
Where there are few apples on the tree
this would not be necessary, but
where the tree is overfull it is COM
PEELED by a natural law to drop much
of its load before it can mature that
which remains. In such cases the two
pickings have much to commend
them.

Cucumbers Are Ancient

Few garden plants have been known
to and cultivated by man longer than
the cucumber. De Candolle has proved
that this plant has been in cultivation
between three and four thousand years.
There is no specific remedy for the
striped cucumber beetle. Direct appli-
cations of poisons, such as paris green
or other arsenical, will destroy the
beetles when they occur in moderate
numbers. A normal crop may be
placed at about 200 half barrel baskets
per acre, the price varying from so
cents to as much as So per basket.
After the fruits have been harvested
and the marketing season has closed
the vines should be destroyed by gath
ering and burning or blowing them
under. so as not to harbor or breed dis
eases. A point which Is of prime i'm
portance in the management of the
cucumber patch is that none of the
fruits be allowed to come to maturity.
The ripening process, which means the
development and maturing of the
seeds, produces a heavy strain upon
the growing plant. = United States

FERrILIzING ORCHARDS.

While the fact is one that is COM
monty overlooked. it is worth while re-
Numbering that trees in the orchard OF
whatever kind are just as much in
need OF fertilizer as is land that pro-
duces any kind of grain or forage
crop. AS q somewhat striking illustra-
ton TO prove this point. we noted the
other day the case of thirty-year-
old orchard. in which every row of
trees was dead except one of Fameuse,
which is a VIGOROUSLY short lived tree.
The reason assigned for this by the
owner of the orchard was that this one
row of trees had been given a good
mulch of manure every other year and
the others had not. Bearing apple trees

John Caravan did not object to Tom
my Tenley except as son-in-law. Per
sonally he liked him immensely, and
1t was with real regret that he refused
to give his consent TO Tommy's en-
gagement to his daughter Alice.
Tommy went out of the study feel
ing as blue as the enamel on the auto
mobile that painted at the curb, but
Alice took q more cheerful view Of the
matter.
Don't mind father" she comforted.
"Pve managed him ever since mother
died and I'll find way to make him
behave. He didn't tell you not to come
around, did hep

told me to come around all l wanted
and help him keep the other fellows
off. Ill do that, you bet"

II thought from your face 1t was some
thing serious" She patted him on
the shoulder. "Now run along" she
commanded. II want to have a chat
with father before he can think 1t over
and get the idea rooted In his mind
that he doesn't want you In the fam
lly."
Tenley went down the steps much
comforted. Ever since they had known
each other Alice had always taken the
lead. and he was content t. follow. He
climbed into the auto and rumbled OFF
with the comfortable feeling that all
would come well.
He was not the sort Of man who Is
content to hold back and let a woman
plan. He was willing to take the in
itiative when necessary, but he knew
that Alice knew her fathers whims
better than he did, and more than once
she had, with her woman's wit, accom-
plished more than his bulldog peril
nacity would have gained.

Suggest Change in Location Statute.

Great interest is being manifested
here in the coming convention of the
Arizona Miners Association in Bisbee
next month. 1t is very likely that a
large number of mining men from
Tucson will attend the convention as
they believe that the association can
do Arizona much good and has a wide
field to work in.
1t is reported that Bisbee is anxious
to have the convention postponed until
next fall as the streets of the Copper
city are torn up undergoing improve
ments at present. However Douglas
has come to the front and has asked
for the convention if Bisbee does not
care for it and it will very likely be
held on April as scheduled either in
Bisbee or in Douglas. This will be
a matter for the executive committee
of the Association to decide.
This morning in County Treasurer
Bogan's office number of mining men
were discussing the coming conven-
tion.
lone of the best things the conven-
tion could do and one that would meet
with unanimous approval would be to
ask to have the Federal law changed
regarding the ten-foot hole that must
be dug on all claims, remarked one
man who has been here for a quarter
of century and who has made a for
tune out of mines which he himself To-
Gated.

all persons who take up a mining
claim pay pos to the county in which
their claim is located to have the

many hundred additional dollars to

The Arizona Smelling Co.

The recent completion of the half
million dollar smelter of the Arizona
Smelling Company, at Humbolt, Eav-
apai county, but fourteen miles from
Prescott, marks an epoch in the his
tory of mining in this county. Most
advantageously situated on the Aqua
Fria river, which insures IN abundant
supply of water, every condition seems
prop.tious to the successful operation
of the plant. Its location is in almost
the geographical center of one of the
most heavily mineralized zones of
northern Arizona. The tracks of the
Prescott & Eastern railway run di-
rectly to the plant, affording uneXcell-
ed shipping facilities and the econOmi-
cal handling of ore. VIII lie 55O,OOCS
has been expended in the erection Of
the plant, an even greater sum is pro-
vided for handling the ore stocks to
be carried by the company.
The smelling plants consist of a cop
per smelling works and a lead smell
ter as well. The product of the cop
per plant will run 80 per cent pure
copper, while the same percentage of
pure lead will be obtained as a result
of the lead smelling. This bullion is
to he shipped to eastern refineries for
the separation of the gold, silver and
copper.
In addition to lead and copper smell
ter, $50 ton concentrate plant is
operated by the smelter company at
the same place.
The buildings are of steel construc-
tion, with concrete foundations, GENET
floors and brick walls, being entirely
fire-proof and thereby avoiding the
probability of meeting the fate of the
smelter destroyed by fire at that place,
two years ago. The water supply is
abundant, the Aqua Fria river passing
through the company's property at
Humboldt,
The sampling works has 1,200 ton
capacity and is equipped with the
Win automatic samplers.
Three l0O-foot Edwards mechanical
roasters in the roasting plant handle
the ore from hoppers to the calcine
cars at the discharge end, without
labor. The smelling furnaces have
capacity of 800 tons while the convert
ers have a daily capacity of fifty tons
of metallic copper.
The Arizona Smelter company's
plant is known as a reverberatory fur
mace plant. The ores of this county
are concentrating and suitable for
reverberatory furnaces only. Coke is
high and oil reasonably cheap and
coke cannot be used in reverberatory
furnaces, so California crude oil is
used in the furnaces. The heat from
the furnaces furnish all power for the
plant and for power scheme for the
transmission of the ore from the mines
to the smelter. The company is now
building for this purpose a l5,000-volt
transmission line to connect with the
De Soto mine, ,twenty-one miles distant,
and the Blue Bird mine, fourteen

miles from the smelter. The economy
of this system will become at once ap-
parent when it is known that no fuel
is burned at the mines or smelter eX-
cept that used in the furnaces for
smelling purposes.
The power plant is an immense one
and consists of four Sterling water
tube boilers of a total capacity of |, 800
horse power, the steam being gener-
ated from the waste heats from the
reverberatory furnaces. The engines
consist of one blowing engine and two
800 horse power generator engines, all
of the cross compound conGelsing
type, giving a total capacity of over
1,6O0 horse power.
From the Agl Fria river the pump
ing plant can raise 100000 gallons of
water daily the turbine pumps being
driven by electricity: in fact the ell
tire plant is operated by electric
power.
With a daily capacity of 800 tons of
copper ore and 200 tons of lead ores,
the plant will be in a position to
handle over 1000 tons daily, while a
5OO-ton copper blast furnace will be
added as the ore tonnage increases,
giving the smelter a capacity of l,5O0
tons daily, while additional lead furn-
aces can be added as the ore supply
warrants.
The construction of the plant has
been supervised by Cyrus Robinson,
who has been identified with the erec-
tion of many of the plants of the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany in Mexico, at Perth Amboy, New
Jersey, Utah, Colorado and FL Paso,
Texas, the latter plant having been
rebuilt by him after the fire of 1901.
The Arizona Smelling company was
incorporated about one year ago under
the laws of New Jersey. Mr.. John l.
Elliott of New York, the president of
the company, was also its organizer.
Mr.. Elliot is extensively interest I'd in
mining and various industrial enter
prises of great magnitude. ChaS. f.
Finney, the vice-president and general
manager, has attended to all the de-
tails of the business in this city, hav-
ing come here from New York, when
ground was broken for the smelter on
July II, 1905. Mr.. Finney's extensive
connection with the great Guggenheim
interests are well known and his init
mate knowledge of the smelling and
mining business, gained while general
manager at New York for their vast
interests, covered two continents, has
proven invaluable TO him. Mr.. Fin
ney was member of the operating
committee of the American Smelling
and Refining company, the committee
consisting of three general managers,
who looked after the interests of twen-
ty-one smelters in various parts of two
continents. Resigning his position
Mr.. Finney Immediately associated
himself with Mr.. Ben Guggenheim in

company, with New York offices, leav-
ing there to accept the general mana

Mining Very Active Around Good
springs.

After nearly half century of vary
ing vicissitudes the mines of Goods
springs are being given real show.
The Salt Lake railroad did much for
the district, but the smelter will make
possible the handling of low grade
ore, and the profitable working of
many properties
Tradition has it that the Potosi tribe
of Indians roughly mined and fashion
ed bullets from the galena ore. Later
the location of this big lead deposit
became known to Brigham Young and
he sent out a band of Mormons to
work the mine. Then, strange to re-
late, ore was taken to Fort Douglas by
General Sydney Johnstone, and the
bullets manufactured were used
in the miniature war waged against
the Mormans by the United States
government. But all this is ancient
history, and today Mormon and Cen
tile capital is pouring into the district
and the section teens with activity.
w. H. Wilson, manager of the new
smelter, together with Contractor
Joseph Dedrichs, arrived yestrday,
and at once started preparatory work.
At later date it is their intention
to visit all the mining camps of south
ern Nevada and personally acquaint
shippers with prices and terms. a
sampling works and assay office are to
be at once erected, in order that the
company can commence buying ore.
Jean, which is the station on the Salt
Lake Route, is seven miles distant
from Goodspring, where the smelter
will be erected, and the two places
are to be connected by either an cleo
trio or a regular railroad. The smell
ter will have two blast furnaces, one
fiat bottom for copper mats, the other
a crucible for lead. -Searchlight.
