More Dry Farming in Bingham.

The latest selection of land made by
the state is the selection of 3l43 acres
in Bingham county for the benefit of
the common school grant. But behind
this selection there is more of benefit to
the state than the mere securing of the
land, which is not to lie idle on the
states hands, but is to be the scene Of
an extensive dry farming community.
The state is now ready to lease the
land to company which has been or
ganized for the purpose of dry farming
It. George A. Day, state land appraiser
arrived in the city yesterday morning
from that part of the state and he says
the company is preparing to go at the
cultivation of the land on a scientific
basis. Dry farming is rapidly becoming
more general in that part Of the state,
and is proving to be successful.
Mr.. day said the company would use
traction engine for blowing and har-
rowing the land. By this means from
60 to 10 acres can be plowed and har-
rowed in day. Often 20 plows and
enough harows to cover the distance OF
the furrows are drawn by one of these
engines. He says that another COM
pany is now being formed in Bingham
county to handle about 5000 acres in dry
farming.
"There is no question of the success
of dry farming in that part Of the state"
said Mr.. Day last evening. "Fur four
years now it has been tried and profit
able crops have been grown each year,
and during this time they have dry sea-
sons, too. There has been considerable
rain this year-more than usual-and
the farmers there will have good crops
this season During the last two years
the crops have been very successful
There is no water tax. They SOW and
they reap
Mr.. Day says he is of the opinion that
the climatic conditions would continue
to get better for dry farming The Snake
river is being turned out over millions
of aces in the southern part of the
state, and it's evaporation is becoming
much greater, and he believes the pre-
cipitation will become greater cores
pondingly.
In making the selection of these
lands the state picks out the very
choicest, and culls out all the undesir-
able pieces. 1t is leased for 10 cents an
acre.
Mr.. Day will 60 this morning to
Washington county to apprajse two Sec
tions of land between Council and Mead
ows which have been applied for and
will be advertised for sale along with
other lands.

Mr.. Thompson says the faculty has
been improved from year to year with a
view of securing the very best; those
having the best technical preparation,
and the best professional training, and
the course of study has been heightened
to five years, al.ho the class of 1908 will
be given the option of making theirs

The public school building of Albion

Albion Normal School.

been so liberal the past few years, it is
taking front rank among the normal

observer the location is against it, be-

WIZARD HEINzE HAS ALL

NEW YORK, July Eft. Angus
tus Heinze appears to have the vari-
Gus financial centers all guessing, ac-
cording to reports in circulation CON
corning the formation of a gigantic
mining, milling and smelling combi-
nation, to include a large number of
highly profitable mining properties,
with Mr.. Heinze as president.
For some time it has been be-
lieved that Mr.. Heinze has in mini
a combination which would be great
er and more f~ar-reaching than Anal
gamated Copper. From time to time
reports have come from different
sections to the effect that the Mon
tana copper man had acquired con
troll of important properties. Now,
every few days word comes of some
new corporation in which Mr.. Heinze
figures and which bears the earmarks
of being a forerunner of far larger
things.
Late in May the Silver King Coali-
ton Mines company was %incorporat-
ed in Utah for $6,5OO,0 00 with David
Keith as president, to take over sew
eral of the best working properties
of the Park City camp. Following
this came the report that the Silver
King would be the nucleus of a much
larger combination of the Park City
camp, which would include the Dali
West, Daly-Judge, Ontario and other
famous producers. Mr.. Heinze gen.
orally was credited with being the
prime mover in this combination.
Then a couple of weeks ago came
the incorporation of the Miners
Smelling company in the State OF
Maine, with $40, 900, 900 capital.
This company, which, 1t is under
stood, will build a 3,0O0-ton smell
ter in the Salt Lake valley, also is
said to have the backing of Mr..
Heinze, who in a short time is ex-
pected to becomt its president. Then
this week came the Incorporation OF
the Ohio Copper company, also in the
State of Maine, for the purpose OF
taking yer the Ohio group Of mines
in the Bingham camp of Utah. These
mines for some time have been I'M
der the control and management OF
Mr.. Heinze who is said to intend
taking the presidency of the Ohio
Copper company, which has a CAPT.
tai of $4,000. 900, divided into l..
100000 shares Of $40 each.
All Of these moves are taken as
indications that Mr.. Heinze is ma.
turing vast plans for the develop
ment Of various sections Of the West

HYDRAULIC PIPE is NOW

The Round Mountain Hydraulic
Mining company is a decidedly busy
corporation at the present time, and
from now on is destined to be per-
haps the most active of any company
operating in the district.
Five carloads of pipe have al
ready arrived and the remainder of
the big consignment will continue
coming in at the rate of two carloads
a week until the entire twenty car
loads Of pipe which is now en- route
from Chicago has arrived at its
Round Mountain destination. Gen
eral Manager Tom Wilson has a
force of men at work digging trench
and laying the pipe as fast as 1t ar
rives. This first consignment of FIVE
carloads is all S-inch pipe and is be-
ing laid to convey the Jefferson creek
water to the main line at Shoshone.
The big I6-inch pipe for the main
line will be the next to arrive and a
VII CGL tAhC W IAG WI no az IeOuuu
Mountain will be completed. 1t is
expected that the company will have
one hydraulic giant in operation
within three weeks. Afterwards the
Shoshone and Indian ranch pipe
lines will be laid and two more hy-
draulic heads and at least three
sluice heads will be obtained. Balbi
& Watt have the contract for deliv-
ering the pipe from Austin and are
being assisted in the work by the
old reliable Sam Carter.
The story of the inception and or
ganization of the Hydraulic company
and it's progress down to the present
time, is n of hustle and action. The
company vas incorporated in May,
1907, with Messrs. Lotus and Davis
of the Sunnyside, Thomas Wilson,
Henry j. Bartlett and Captain G.. w.
Thatcher as officers and principal
owners of the stock. Within three
weeks after organization, Captain
Thatcher, as purchasing agent, had
gone East and had made a contract
with a pipe firm to deliver the need
ed amount of pipe on board cars at
Chicago at the rate of two carloads
a week. A contract for immediate
delivery was made with the railroad
and everything possible done to in
sure it's early arrival here.
BY the time the improvements now
under way have been completed the
Hydraulic company will have spent
upwards of 800, 000-and that they
surely figure OF getting 1t all back
from rich old Mother Earth is a dead
immortal cinch. The company has a
lease on all the water in the district,
which was recently bought from
Dixon 6 Stebbins by the Daisy COM
pany, consisting of the Shoshone
creek, Jefferson creek and Indian
Ranch water.-Round Mountain

BUY CLAIMS In PHONOLITE.

Without failure or ostentation, the
Phonolite mining district, situated in
the northwestern portion of Nye
county, has by reason Of its inherent
merits, been quietly attracting the at
tention of mining operators and in
vestors and the results of their in
vestigations have been so favorable
that many conservative mining men
are now interesting themselves In
properties In the district.
Although not old enough to cele.
brate its first birthday, and hamp-
cred in development work by a Sc.
we're winter, the surface showings as
evidenced by values obtained In de-
veloping the various claims would
put many an older camp to shame.
AS a result of the Investigations
made by Ernest May, a conservative
and extensive mining operator in the
Black Hills, South Dakota, he has
been favorably impressed by the
showing in the district, and has
backed this impression by purchasing
the Amethyst quartz claim from II.
w. Bruner, of this town. This claim
adjoins the Amethyst Extension, late
ly purchased from Mr.. Bruner by
Luther s. Foss of San Francisco, and
on which at a depth of forty feet has
exposed sulphide ore assaying over
$1,000 per ton A hoist and mining
timbers to develop this latter prop.
erty are now on the way from Austin.
Mr.. May confidently expects to find
this vein traversing his property and
as high in value as that of the Anne.
thyst Extension.
In an interview which your CORE,
spondent had with Nj. Bruner, the
latter declined to give the exact pur.
chase price, but what he said would
lead one to believe it was a high fig.
ure. Mr.. May has put a force of mer
at work and will develop the property
as rapidly as possible, and we all
know from Mr.. Mays record that Il
will be mined in a legitimate up-to.
date manner.
The tunnel on the Paymaster claim
is progressing and about sixty-fivt
feet yet remain before the vein /.
reached.
The increase in transient and loca.
business has caused a demand for {
new clearinghouse and other build
ings, the lumber for which is arriv
ing on the ground assembled for tn,
buildings.
The survey for the pipe line of tn,
Phonolite Townsite Light & Power
company has been completed and thu
officers Of this company have tn,
matter of the installation under con
s~ideration. The recent discoverie,
show that large bodies of milling or,
exist and plenty of water will b,
necessary to reduce this ore and con
vert 1t into bullion.
