THE DAIRY
KEEP COWS AT THEIR BEST.
&c. l.. Vincent.)

VI. IL. NlUCouI.D
II don't know what | will do if my
COWS keep on failing in their milk.
They are dropping off the worst way.
Seems as if they never before lost
so much as this season"
This is what one may hear from
many farmers at this season of the
year. And it does indicate serious
condition of things. The only unusual
thing about it is that the farmer
should say that this year his COWS
have failed in their milk more than
ever before. That is the way with
human nature. The trouble that is
now on hand seems to us much worse
than any that ever came upon us in
the past.
That milk should drop off this year
rather earlier than usual may be ac-
counted for in part by the fact that
in many sections of the country grass
did not get a very good start before
we had a dry spell. This, added to
the unseasonably cold weather of the
early part of the season, prevented
grass from growing as it usually does.
How serious this shrinkage is may
be seen from the fact that some farm
ers report loss of at least one-quar-
ter to one-third in weight. The loss
in quantity is not, however, by any
means the nose severe. That rep
resented by the test counts up much
more readily. Say that one is getting
fifty pounds day less than he should
on the flush of feed, if the price is 81
a hundred, there is an evident loss
in weight of half dollar day.
The question arises, then, How can
we keep the COWS up to their best
Is it necessary to do as so many do,

also in his legs so that frequently on the platform he
has felt himself according to his account, pushed
forward by invisible power without being able
to check it,
Piansts singers, and nstrumentaliss allsuffer SIM
ilarly. Some have it in the fingers that away with
them; others in the throat still others in the lips.
At time Paderewski suffered greatly from
this nervousness. 1t went so far that when he once
had to play in in New York he vanished
from the artists short time before the time
set for his appearance and it was only after con-
siderable search that he found and induced to
proceed with his part of the entertainment.
Rublnstein was another great sufferer from trema,
in the zenith of his powers. He was known on
more than occasion to have foregone the profits
of lucrative engagements because of sudden attacks
of this form of nervousness.
Albert Gruning, the brilliant Viennese pianist, on
the days of his concerts used to make plans for his
future He would decide to settle down in some
village in Austria, teach the country youth the
first principles of piano playing, and devote the re-
mander of his time to digging potatoes and fatten-

ing ducks for the market Thus he declared, Il
shall lead quiet existence that cannot try my
nerves. l shall never play again in public. To-day
is the last time Then, if the concert unusually
the next few days Gruning felt himself to be the
most unfortunate of men.
Among great singers there may be cited as dis
tinguished sufferers from trema the de Reszke
brothers, Jean and Edouard. They were wont to
declare that at times only the respective encourage
ment they afforded each other prevented the drest
of failures One evening at the opera in Paris, it
was with the greatest difficulty that Edouard in
duced his brother to go at all, so nervous and
respondent the latter Yet the critics averred
that the evening in question, when the tenor sang
Lohengrin' in French for the first time in his
career, Jean absolutely perfect.
1t has been said that PlanCon has stood in the
wings waiting his turn, quiverng like aspen leaf,
and crossing himself time after time
Alloys Ander, the tenor, died mad. The nervous
stage fright it is said, had no little to do with his
tragic fate.

Some Have Been Found

OF lost mines that have been redscovered and
~ thoroughly exploited by modern capital,
none is noteworthy than the turquoise mines of
New Mexico The most famous and the most ancient
of these are those of Mount Chalchhuitl 1.-THE Indian
name for turquoisel These were worked ages ago
by the aborgines, and then by the Spanards until
about $50, when twenty Indian aborers were killed
by the caving in of the workings This earliest
corded mine disaster within the present limits of the
United States is reputed to have been of the
principal of the revolt of the Pueblo Indians
in 1850 which resulted in the expulsion of the
Spaniards from New Mexico
When the reconquest of New Mexico was accom-
plshed by de Vargas twelve years later an effort
made reopen the mines of Mount Chalchihuitl,
but it found impossible to persuade the
Indians to enter them. Not caring to precipitate
another general revolt the authorities gave
the endeavor and the turquoise mines of that region
gradually passed into the realm of dim tradition,

Locator, w. TROTTER
P. S.-Don't look for this mine in the time
it is dangerous. Doc
This freakish, ungrammatical and altogether be-
logged location notice was unearthed from beneath
a location monument where the famous copper camp
of Greenwater now stands. 1t is part of the data
upon which some scores of miners working
in the endeavor to discover the famous lost Find
mine of the Funeral Mountains.
1t evident that when Doctor Irotter wrote his To-
cation notice he simply hunting for the Find
mine himself He feared that else might find
it ahead of him. and shrewdy calculated that his
freakish notice might enable him to bluff the real
discoveries into giving him share. Nevertheless,
there good reason to believe that Trotter, who
well known pioneer prospector in the Funeral
range, supplied with fairly accurate map
showing the location of the lost Find and that his
hay directions of the to be followed may prove
to be the clue that will lead some to ultimate
success

Left an Old Map

DOCTOR TROTTER' S notice is based in part upon
~ map left by named Smith, who is believed
ohave been the real the Find He drfted
into New York about fifteen years ago; and began
to make himself conspicuous in much the same man
adopted by Walter Scott, the Death Valley
Cresus, couple of years ago He stood the pace
that kills for just month; then it killed him. He
dropped dead of apopexy, and his effects passed
into the hands of the public administrator because
relatives could be located Among his possessions

sentation of part of the Death Valley region. 1t
showed the eastern part of Death Valley, three
ranges of mountains, numerous trails and water
holes and many springs, the good and bad carefully
distinguished In the most northern of the mountain
ranges was canon drawn with great detail and at
the upper portion of the canon was marked red
cross with the word Find.
Poor Smith was hardly in his grave when party
of his friends started for Death Valley to search for
the mine that had yielded the wealth he had scat
tered SO avishly The party QUILTED with mules at
Daggett; and accurate the map that the
guides secured there readily identified many familiar
landmarks in the Funeral range country east of the
terrible Death Valley. For awhile the party had
plain sailing; but the with two big rocks at its
mouth, marked on the map Just as described IN
Doctor TrOtterS location notice, could not be lden
titled 1t seemed certain that this canon located
in the most northern of the three Funeral ranges;
but none of the numberless cailonS entered and
plored seemed to fit the description. The party
manned in the AmargoSa desert for two months, and
then returned to New York, leaving another lost
mine legend behind them. Hundreds of prospectors
since then have engaged the search for this desert
bonanza; but Smiths lost Find is yet to be found

became interested in this mine and travelled to
Madrid in search of data. He found records proving
that great quantities of bullion had been taken from
it. but nothing that gave him any definite clue
Whereabouts. There are, however, number OF
Pima Indians who claim know where is located.
Small quantities of high grade ore are occasionally
sold by the trlbesnen at various mining camps; but
attempts to follow the vendors to the spot where
they obtained bride them reveal the secret
have proved equally unavailng.
About years ago old Pima chief fell i'll in
of the valley puebos and was cured by Mexican
woman Well known and so universally respected
that her statement of facts accepted without queS
ton The old chief returned to his tribe, and from
time time to his beneactress rich pieces of
and occasional nuggets of pure gold. All her
efforts to induce him to lead her to the mine
were frrtless, as he emphatically stated that the
Great Spirit would strike him dead instantly should
he commit such otfense. Then the sonora went
to the village of the Plnas and lived among them
for three months docorlng the sick and giving pres
of pieces of ribbon and bits of gay calico the
Finally the old man told her that the mine
Taopa had been worked when he was a boy, and
that the gold he had sent her had been taken from
the abandoned workings. Then he agreed to allow
two of his tribe to conduct her to within few
wards of the mine and permit her to discover 1t her
SELF hoping in that way to escape the death penalty
for revealing the secret of the gods.

in the day time, passing through deep canons and

a great dump, The sonora gathered few bits of
ore from the dump, and was then hurried away by
the squawS who said they would be killed II they
remained in the canon longer than the time per-
mitted them by the chief They travelled the rest
of the night and of the next day reaching their
starting place in the afternoon. 1t had taken tour
days to reach the mine and only to return, prov
ing that the journey had been circultous in order
that the might be unable to retrace her steps:
Desparing of ever locating Taopa through the aid
of the Pmas, she returned to her home and gave up
the search
Two other famous mines that worked by the
Spanish crown the Reina Mercedes and the Casa
Blanca, both of which are believed to have been
redscovered. The Reina Mercedes is supposed to be
the Tajos mine of the Conchena group, and the
modern Casitas mine is believed to be the lost Casa
Blanca.

naming unknown and all but forgotten for the bet

The history of the turquoise mines of the Burro
Mountains, of Old Hacht, and of the Jarilla Noun
tans is every way similar to that of the mines of
Mount Chalchihutl, except that they were not lost
for so long time Some worked up till the time
when Mexico achieved her independence; but all
had been abandoned for decades before the American
occupation. New Mexico was full of traditions and
legends concerning the turquoise mines, and gems
of great value frequently obtained from the
Indians; but the mystery of the location of the
mines profound as that now surrounding the
whereabouts of the diamond mines of the Usu-
maCnta river.

A Long. Tiresome Search

THE search for the lost turquoise mines of New
Mexico began with the close of the Mexican War
and was prosecuted unavailingly for more than
quarter of century. Several times prospeCtors
reached established towns and mining camps with
small specimens of precious turquoise matr1x
and the announcement that the lost mines had been
rediscovered; but in every case hostile ApaChes or
Comanches nassacred the discoveries before the
exact location of the mines made public. Not
until the last of the Indian of the Southwest
had been fought and the last frontier thoroughly
subdued the turquoise mines demonstrated
to be more than an nSubstantlal myth. The mines
of Mount Chalchhutl were rediscovered in 1885, and
are controlled by the Tiffany Company of New
York.
The celebrated Azure mine of this district is said
to be the richest turquoise mlne yielding the most
perfect gems in the world. 1t is currently reported
that a single mass of pure turquoise taken
from this mine few years ago that valued at
five million dollars 1t is said to have been broken
into small pieces and placed on the market in frac
tonal quantities, to avoid destroying the value of
this gem
The lost turquoise mines of the Burro Mountains
rediscovered at about the same time by John E.
Coleman, better known throughout the Southwest
as Turquoise John They little, if any, less
valuable than those of Mount Chalchihuitl. The
lost mine of Old Hachti found late in the SOS,
and those of the Jaras recently as in 1893 Both
of these show unmstakabe signs of having been
worked extensively centuries ago.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed cons
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus'
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham.
ed you have rumbling sound or inper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos.
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhaned condi.
ton of the mucous surfaces.

Emergencies Make Great Men.

Every man is a stranger to his
greatest strength, his mightiest
power, until the test of a great re-
sponsibility, a critical emergency
or a supreme crisis in his life calls
it out.
Work on a farm, hauling wood.
working in a tannery, storekeep-
ing. West Point, the Mexican
war, doing odd jobs about town,
were not enough to arouse the
sleeying giant in General Grant.
There is no probability that he
would ever have been heard from
outside of his own little community
but for the emergency of the Civil
War.
There was a tremendous dyna-
mic force in the man, but it requir-
ed the conclusion of the great CT
vii War to ignite it. No ordinary
occasion touched his slumbering
power, no ordinary experience
could ignite the dynamic power in
this giant. Under common cir
cumstances he would have gone
through life stranger to his own
ability, just as most of the great
dynamite shells now in existence
will probably meyer be exploded
because of the lack of war emerv
gency great enough to explode
them,
Farming, wood-chopping, rail-
splitting, surveying, storekeeping
the State legislature, the practice
of law, not even the United States
Congress, furnished occasions
great enough, resistance strong
enough to ignite the spark of pow
er, to explode the dynamic force
in Abraham Lincoln. Only the.
responsibility of nation in immi-
nent peril furnished sufficient con-
cussion to ignite the giant power
in perhaps the greatest man that
ever trod the American continent.
There is no probably that Lin
coin would have gone down in his
tory as "a very great man but for
the crisis of the Civil War. The
nation peril was the responsible
ty thrust upon him which brought
out the last ounce of achievement,
the resources which he never
would have dreamed he possessed
but for this emergency.
