BUFFUM A
SPEAKER
DIRECTOR OF EXPERIMENT STA
TON OF WYOMING ADDRESS
Es DRY FARM CONVENTION.
Method as Applied to Attitudes Above
Six Thousand Feet, Where Only
Ten Per Cent of Water Enough
Exists for Irrigstion-Number of
Prominent Speakers.

By far the most important of the
quarterly conventions of the Camp
bell Dry Farming association was held
yesterday in the Woman's club build
ing, says the Denver Republican. E.
Benjamin Andrews, chancellor of the
University Of Nebraska, and one of
the foremost educators Of the country,
was the chief speaker of the day. In
a scholarly address on The Possibili-
ties Of the Semi-Arid West" DR.. An
drews pointed out hat the day would
likely come when the scientific method
Of dry farming, not dependent upon
the whims Of nature, would be pre-
ferred to humid agriculture. He stat
ed most emphatically that it was his
belief that the Campbell system was
comforting and would confer a lasting
benefit OF The race, and he stated that
he spoke as he did as an American
citizen and friend of the farmer only,
and not as n interested in the pro-
ject, or one promoting an industry.
His address was listened to with I'M
usual attention.
DR.. Barton o. Aylesworth, president
of the state agricultural college, was
another of the speakers. He advanced
the theory that the growth of the
Campbell system was brought about
by the Unsuitable land hunger of this
and other countries. The list Of
speakers at the convention was an
unusually good one, five college pro-
fessors and w. H. Campbell, the found
er of the system, taking part. Prof.
B. C. Buffum OF the University of Wyo-
ming told of the dry farming at high
attitudes. Prof. w. w. Mclaughlin of
the state agricultural college of Utah
spoke on dry farming in Wyoming and
Utah.
Prof. Buffum stated that there were
large areas of land in Wyoming over
attitudes of 5000 feet and there is not
more than 10 per cen water to lrri-
gate all of this land, which is fertile
and will raise good crops when water
can be secured.

COmpany's Stocks
Seventy Thousand Shares in Bulls and
Bears Bring Less Than $500

Yesterday was the lightest day for
sales in the San Francisco Stock and
Exchange Board for some time Out
side Of the board an auotioneer sold
10000 shares Of the discredited Bulls
and Bears. which the exchange struck
from its list some weeks ago when it
was discovered that the company had
disincorporated and had disposed OF it's
mine without stopping the sale of its
shares IN the board. President Rug
giles promptly put a stop TO the sales
as soon as he discovered the facts
The sale OF Bulls and Bears stock
yesterday furnished the chief subject
OF gossip among the brokers. For TO-
coo shares less than $500 was realized,
which was at the rate of less than five
sevenths of a cent share. A story
was out that some scheme of reorgani-
cation was in prospect. Brokers who
were supposed to know all the facts
declined TO give them out it was ex-
planned.
Certain parties are threatening Grim
final proceedings against those who
sold shares after the mine had been
turned over by the Bulls and Bears
Company TO other parties.
The Bulls and Bears Company was
dissolved on October 81 1905 AS long
ago as July 10 the directors and Ger
tain stockholders voted to dissolve the
corporation and TO distribute the as

rnent is made that the company became
Involved two years ago and was main
tanned with difficulty until its property
vas sold TO the Norcross Investment
Company for $4,000 in cash. Nee
claimed in his letter that he had tried
for six months 10 give publicity TO
these facts.

ton and discussion are the rumored
plans for the formation OF mergers OF
some or the most important properties.
Since the amalgamation of the Mo-
hawk, Jumbo Red Top and Laguna by
Nixon and WIngfield. reports have
gained credence that the same men are
contemplating another combination OF
interests to comprise the January and
Combination. which they have recently
acquired, and one or two other proper
ties OF which they own the control.
Another possibility in the merger
line is the amalgaination OF some of
the best properties in the Diamond
field section of this district William
J. Brewer, who. with his New York as
sociates, is said to have secured con-
troll of the Triangle, and who, with
Milton Detch, has a bonanza In the
Detch- Brewer lease on the Daisy and
is believed to have acquired a large
amount of the stock of that property.
has just returned from the East. The
almost simultaneous departure for
New York of Frank E. Horton. presi-
dent and general manager of the Daisy
Company. lends color to the reports
that something is doing in the line of
expansion.
Upon the expiration Of the term of
their lease on the Mohawk It is prob
able that Hays and Monnette will
have another body OF ore exposed
which viii keep them busy. and in this
ease they will pay no royalties. Some
time since they purchased the Esmer-
aida claim, which approaches on the
northern residence portion Of the town
OF Goldfeld, and at once let con-
tract for the Striking of a shaft to a
depth of ITO feet. At exactly that
depth ledge was cut which sampled
$50 to the ton.
In their anxiety to determine the
extent and value of the strike the
owners offered the contractor S25 a
foot TO continue sinking a further dis
lance Of ten feet, but because OF the
difficulty Of working at that depth
with a windlass the offer was declined
a hoist is now being installed on the
shaft. and before long the question
as to- the existence of ore in place
5000 feet west of the Mohawk will be
determined.
The developments at this point have
already lent a decided impetus to
operations in the neighborhood. and
a company has been formed composed
Of prominent and successful mining
men, who have acquired and will de-
velop property which lies immedi-
ately within the town limits Within
a short time some of the most extern
sive workings In the district will be
beneath the streets and houses OF the
thickly populated portion OF the town
The building recently purchased by
the new Goldheld Consolidated Mining
Exchange was occupied on the ground
floor by q confectionery store and
ladies' furnishing goods In order to
induce the lingerie merchant to move
out the brokers bought out the stock
for about $4,000 and have created no
end of mirth by their efforts to retail
the goods They will probably give
them to their friends and sell them to
their enemies.
