NEW STRIKE ON
ROUND MT. DAISY

That the famous Munholland lease on
the Daisy may be at least equalled If
not possibly excelled is the growing
belief of Round Mountain mining men.
On the Mushett-Chapman Daisy lease
there has been opened four feet of ore
that will go better than 500 to the
ton. This strike was made at a depth
of about fifteen feet and now a crosscut
is being run from the incline shaft at
75 feet in an attempt to cut the ledge
at that depth.
The Mushett & Chapman custom mill
will be pushed to its fullest capacity
from now on with the ore from this
lease alone
On the company's workings of the
Daisy a blower has been installed and
just as quick as the necessary piping
arrives and is installed Superintendent
McSorley will put on an extra shift of
men sinking on the main shaft, which
is now down a depth of $50 feet. The
shaft will be sunk at least to the 300
foot level before prosecuting is begun.
1t is very probable that sinking will
progress without interruption to 500
feet.
Both the Captain Thatcher and Luther
Morgan leases are in good ore and rich
high grade ~stringers may be loked for
at any time. The Thatcher lease. 1t will
be remembered. is the original Munhol-
land lease from which 1t is estimated
that $40. 900 in bullion and specimens
has been taken within a year.

Rhyolite, New, June 5.-Robert Smith,
superintendent of the Mayfiower has
returned from Los Angeles and San
Francisco where he purchased a 12-drill
compressor and a 125-horse power en-
CINE for use at the May1ower min
The machinery was loaded upon the
cars before he left and will be on the
ground at once. The engine and the
compressor will be installed at the
Mayfiower shaft and the drills will be
operated both in this and the Combina-
ton shaft which is close to the Star
light endlines.
Sinking will be resumed at both
shafts. The Mayfower shaft which is
now 300 feet deep will be sent down to
the 4O0-foot level and the Combination
shaft, which is down to the 150-foot
level will be sent to the SO0-foot level
without stops save for stations.
Work in both shafts will be crowded
at once and the lateral exploration will
be allowed to lapse for a time as the
operators nave assured themselves of
the presence of rich ore.
The Mayfower now has from $1,000
900 to $4,000. 900 worth of ore blocked
out and treatment facilities are in ur-
gent demand.
1t is planned to build a mill as soon
as the water question can be settled.
and Superintendent Smith states that If
a contract can be signed with the Ash
Meadows water company for early de-
livery of water there will be nothing
in the way of building at once.
The Ash Meadows water is cheaper
han water that could be developed by
the Mayfower company. according to

EVADING The LAW.

The North Pacific Rural Spirit says
Word comes from e. M. Hutchinson,
federal sheep inspector, that the law
requiring dipping of all sheep in the
state is being pretty generally COM
piled with except in Lane and Linn
counties, Ore, where the farmers and
sheep raisers are inclined to evade
it. He declares that this action may
result in the quarantining of the two
counties, and no sheep can then be
shipped out or in. Some farmers in
this vicinity have dipped their fiocks
according to law but a large majority
have refused or neglected to do so.
1t seems unfortunate that any should
try to evade compliance with the pro-
visions of law placed upon the stat
utes expressly for the benefit of the
industry which they represent 1t is
impossible to pass a law relating to
these things that will exactly please
everyone and yet be effective. 1t is
matter of the utmost Importance to
the sheep industry of our state that
scabbies and all other contagious dis
eases be stamped out, to accomplish
which is bound to work a hardship
on some, but it is better that some
extra expense should be incurred-that
some sheep be dipped that may seem
to be entirely clean-than that few
diseased ones should escape and thus
perpetuate the disease and thwart the
purpose of the law. We are glad to
learn that cooperation is so general
and that there is good prospect of
eradicating this loathsome, aggrava-
ting disease, and trust that for the
general good of the industry all may
fall in line, even though in some cases
the sacrifice may seem unnecessary.

the ordering of the car until the last
minute, but rather order it so that 1t
can be properly bedded and good
supply of hay put in the racks. Straw,
of course makes the best kind of bed
ding one can use; however, the most
essential thing is that of supplying
plenty of whatever is available. To
simply half bed car, in many cases
is like cutting the price of the cattle,
because they become dirty and much
of their finish and quality are appar-
emily lost.
There is nothing better than good
sweet hay for cattle before loading or
in transit. Some shippers advise feed
ing a small quantity of grain, but as
rule grain, especially corn, has a
tendency to fever the animals and
cause them to drink too much water.
Thus, all things considered, the less
grain that is fed just previous to and
during shipment, the better. When
the cattle are ready for shipment they
should be driven over the scales and
the weights recorded They should
then be driven very carefully to the
stockyards or station where they are
to be shipped. If the weather is warm,
they should be driven in the morning
while it is cool. Quietness and gen
tleness should be in evidence in put
ting cattle in and off the cars. All
hurry or violence should be dispensed
WITH as such usually causes heavy
losses in weight.
AS a rule, about twenty good sized
steers will fill car; however, one
should not rely on any given number,
but rather go by the amount of space
in the car. That is, always fill the
car just as full as it will hold of cat
tie of uniform size. By allowing the
animals too much space they will push
fight and jam each other SO that they
will shrink considerably more than if
they are crowded enough to keep them
quiet. If the shipping takes place in
midsummer, when it is very warm,
care must be taken to supply the ami
mails with plenty of water on the car.
If the steers are on full feed in dry
lot the same precautions, practically,
as above mentioned will suffice. How
ever, less time or trouble will be re-
quired to get the animals in good ship
ping condition. The full feed ration
of grain should be reduced to one

STOCK
DRAFT HORSE CONFORMATION.

A draft horse should not be less
than 16 hands high-anything less
than this is not draft horse, accord
ing to standard market classification.
At the same time a horse 1S hands
or more in height is not desirable
the extra size over and above stand
ard lowers the value of the horse in
the open market, for the reason that
such a horse is hard to mate and the
only place it can be used to advantage
is as the middle member of a three
horse team.
Sixteen hundred pounds is the min
imum weight for draft horse when
in good working condition. 1t must
have this weight in order to make
proper use of its muscles. Unless it
has the proper weight it's strength can
not be used to full advantage. Re-
member, too, that is must have its
weight in the form of good, solid mus
Gle and bone, not blubber. Horse
buyers should beware of the mock
draft horse turned out from the large
stables that purchase 1,4OO and l,5OO
pound horses and then load them up
with fat until they pass muster as
1600-pound drafters.
Inc essential feature Ill CuS COu-
formation of a draft horse is compact
ness. A buggy horse can not stand
hard work, is usually a poor feeder
and subject to chorea (St. Vitus'
dance), cramps and chills. Symmetry
is another important consideration.
Avoid the horse whose hind end is

lures get quality-you can't have too
much of it; but discriminate between
real quality and extreme f1neness.
Quality means more than clean cut
features, a fine, smooth coat, and clean
bone-it means good disposition, Wig
orous action and lots of endurance. AS
regards action, the main consideration
in a draft horse is that he be a good
walker He should be able to make
four miles an hour without effort. This
necessitates a perfect fexion of the
joints-quick, sharp, free, and per-
fectly controlled. 1t necessitates a

PREPARING CATTLE FOR MARKET

In preparing cattle for shipping,
every precaution and the greatest care
should be exercised by the feeder or
shipper so that the animals will reach
the market in prime condition, writes
w. J. Kennedy, in the Northwest Agri-
culturist.
If the steers are being finished on
grass and grain, they should be taken
off the pasture and put in a dry lot
at least twenty-four hours, or better
still, forty-eight hours, before shipping,
and fed only half their usual allow
ance of grain, with all the hay they
will eat. In some cases it is advisable
to feed no grain, thus getting the ami
mails to eat considerable bulky food,
such as hay. The whole secret, if
there is such a thing, of shipping cat
tie successfully, is to get them full
of dry food just previous to the time
they are placed on the cars and mar
ket. That is, the less moisture the
food contains in proportion to dry
material, the better, because as a
rule steer that is largely filled with
water has a tendency to scour, and
thus show up gaunt on the market.
Some INSCRIPTIONS shippers have a
custom of sailing their cattle, so that
they drink large amounts of water
and fill up on the same This is some
thing that is usually very detrimental
to the sale of the cattle. 1t is useless
for the shipper to think he can fool
the buyer by such practice. By feed
ing large quantity of salt one is apt
to bring on a fevered condition in the
animals stomach or digestive organs,
thus causing it to drink an unnatural
amount of water, which in turn causes
a looseness of the bowels and a sur
prising shortage.
When the cattle are taken off pas
ture they should be put in as dry a
yard as possible, so that they may
keep tolerably clean. Do not leave
