BILE of handling 400 tons q day In an
emergency but when the present linz
provements are completed II will have
a capacity of 500 tons a day. Mr.. Dow
len estimates that the mines Of the Gold
field district will easily produce that
amount during 1908.
Regarding the financial s~tringency in
the east. Mr.. Dowien says It Is largely
the result OF attempting to carry on
too great a business on too limited capi-
tai. He says the great manufacturing
concerns and Industrial institutions
throughout the country i've expanded
too rapidly until they find themselves
hard put to raise the money necessary
to carry out their plans. The situation
calls for IN extended period Of retrench-
ment In construction and in new enter
prises and while the action Of the Sec
rotary OF the treasury in advancing
funds to the banks to move the crops,
has relieved the situation to some ex-
tent. MI. Dowlen believes that money
will be tight for a year at least. He
attributes the fall In copper to this
retrenchment policy, which he says has
already begun.
"Industrials that create money, like
Goldheld. by producing gold in times like
the present. play . most Important part
in restoring normal financial conditions"
said Mr.. Dowlen. III there were I'VE
or six Goldhelds. things could be righted
quickly"
Mr.. Dowlen. thinks that France is in
a better financial position at this time
than any other country in the world.
due to the remarkable financial conserv-
ativeness of the French people and their
thrift. The French are not as a rule.

are more successful with Industrial un-
~dertakings and are heavy investors in

company would be the first to provide
means for the reduction of the ores OF
Goldfeld as fast as they are produced
by the camp and we have never lost

the question of the site in ninety days
and the smelter will be completed inside
Of a year. There are several parties
considering the project of building a
smelter in Nevada and II We do not
build at once. some one else will. We
have several sites under considerable

probably build three units at first. This
will enable us to treat 900 tons of ore

believe that this section is capable of
producing that amount OF ore daily with

RAMSEY DISTRICT HAS
SATISFACTORY SHOWING

Ramsey. New. Sept. 16.-Late devel-
opments in the district are of the most
satisfactory kind. Probably the Walk
over mine with its sudden plunge into
prominence has don as much as any
thing to call pronounced attention to
the district and 1t Is being more gen.
orally realized that some very rich prop
critics are unde operation here. At the
Walkover mire the vein that vas opened
up with a tunnel abou 80 feet from
surface and which was IS inches wide
at that point, has developed with the
present depth to a 3-foot ore body that
is Of very high shipping grade. Some Of
the richer portions of 1t are returning
assays of 500 to $500. while the sacked
ore. which includes the entire vein. Is
running from s175 to 5000 per ton. gold.
There Is a large pile of ore accumu-
lating on the dump and it is evident the
company will nave no trouble getting
out a large shipment h next few
weeks. As depth is gained the ore be-
comes much closer grained. as well as
richer, and specimens are constantly be-
ing found showing particles of coarse
gold profusely. A total depth of 60 feet
Is made in the workings n they can
stope out rich ore right to the top of the
extensive dyke, where the vein is clearly
exposed. The ore body occurs with a
wide tale wall and ~sulphides are show
ing to an appreciable extent. 1t is evil
dent that a permanent and dependable
ledge is found at this mine.
The Ramsey-Comstock is more active
than ever and has under preparation
much more extensive extraction Of ore
at the NINE. They are arranging a sys-
tenn OF stopping on three levels and will
soon have a much larger force of miners
employed in this work. Last week a
large shipment was started and the
teams have since hauled con-
siderable for another consignment. More
teams have been arranged for and the
monthly shipments promise to be great
ly increased shortly.
Another crosscut through the ledge
will be under way in a few days. The
station set at the fourth level has been
put in and with the completion OF a
stump. work will proceed night and day
on the crosscut. The most convincing
evidence is at rand that sensational re-
suits will obtain when the rich veins
are again exposed another 100 feet
deeper. The Ramsey-comstock mine
under present development is a very
rich property and the consensus OF ex-
pert opinion is that 1t is one OF the COM
ing great producers.
Within the past week the Ramsey
Ophir mine has developed some import
ant changes in the workings. There Is
now a formation outside the
hanging wall having every appearances

workings. a stones throw to the south
west. What little exploration has been
done shows the quartz is Of the same
character. Water has been encountered
and the ore carries sulphides. which Is
strong indication that any round Of

with the extent and character Of its de-

way is alive to all its needs.
He has declared that the present state
Of DEVELOPMENT makes certain that the
mill should be constructed along lines
that will readily permit Of expansion to
at least 100 stamps. Also, as heretofore
mentioned. the trend of the work Tor
some time past has indicated that the
new mill site will be several hundred
feet to the east Of the old mill.

pleasure with the business features ana

As 4 posture alfalfa has many disad-

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Salt For Dairy Cows.

Extensive tests and investigations
have been made by the experiment sta
tons to determine the ACCESSIBILITY Of
adding salt to the ration of dairy cows.
AS result of these trials, it is recon-
mended that dairy cows he given ut
least one ounce of salt per day. EX-
ceptonally heavy mixers will require
more than this. The uniform results
obtained with all cows employed III
these trials indicate that salt in adli-
ton to that obtained in their food is
absolutely essential to the continued
health of dairy COW while producing
milk. 1t is evident. MOREOVER. that the
amount of salt which must be supplied
directly will greatly vary in different
localities. 1t being more at high eleVa-
tons and at places remote from the

Si!aue For Beef Cattle.

Feeders of beef cattle have always
had a prejudice against silage. Re
cent experiments have shown that
steers will make an excellent growth
if fed some rich feed along with corn
siage and will gain quite as fast as
when on good pasture. The dairy type
steer is not so profitable for beef, as
he shows n low dressing percentage
and high percentage of offal. Fat on
the internal organs increases the
weight of the cheaper parts. The beef
steer puts on fat on the higher priced
cuts.
