THE GEORGIA LEE.
Has Rich Ore in Abundance at Grass
Roots.


A surface u%ncovering of consider
able Importance has been made on
the estate Of the Georgia Lee Mining
company. While waiting for the ar
rival of hosting machinery, the min
ers we're placed at work to drift on q
vein at surface, resulting in the open
ing of a vein exposed for a width of
seven feet, which shows good values.
H. r. HUFFMAN, one of the direc-
tors Of the company, was at the prop
erty when the ore was struck and
assisted the boys in exploring the
vein. Assays from his samples gave
returns Of $3.50, $3.50, sac, $40,
$3.50 and $31.20.
The ore is a white sugary quartz,
streaked with iron, which is similar
to. the Hayseed ore, and pans a fine
string of free gold. Mr.. Kulhmar
returned from the property Tuesda,
and reports that in his opinion tht
find will lead the company at once t
the development of a rich property.
A shaft was sunk LOG feet and
crosscut run eighty feet to catch thu
ledge, but it was thought advisable
to put on a 25-horsepower hoist be
fore doing any more work under
ground. The men were accordingl
i placed at surface and the importan
find resulted.
The Georgia Lee property is stu
ated about two miles westerly fror

From the Track.
A huge cinnamon bear, weighing at
least $50 pounds, with it's cubs, two
in number, stood upon the track last
Friday morning as the train of the
Lake Tahoe railroad was pulling it's
passengers up from Truckee to the
popular summer resort. AS the train
approached a spot neal Devils bridge
above Deer Park, about two miles be-
low the lake, the engineer noticed one
of the cubs lying full length across
the track. Instantly the mother bruin

track, and standing erect, gazed at
the approaching engine. The engi-

COPPER DECLINE FELT.
Some Low Grade Mines are Being
Shut Down.

Some OF the copper mines which
have been operated at a profit dur
ing the past year or two have begun
to feel the effects of the late drop in
the price of the metal. While some
of the larger operators have given
orders to curtail their output of low
grade ores, others have ceased oper@
ations altogether.
The Majestic Copper company was
the first Utah company to close its
mines and several days ago the news
came from Milford TO the effect that
about sixty men had been dropped
from the pay rolls, and that produc-
ton had ceased. Now ome the in
formation from Bingham to the eff
feet that the management of the
Bingham Consolidated Mining and
Smelling company had closed it's
commercial mine; which has been
producing on the basis of 200 tons
of ore daily for some time. The
United States Smelling, Refining and
Mining company has also practically
suspended operations at the Bingham
properties and has let out employees
to the number Of $50. The old Tel.
egraph mine is out of commission
entirely and only a small number o
men are employed in the galenf
mine. The company Is shippins

Worlds Meanest Man.

A true story is told of South erner who went into the store of one of his neighbors and asked him if he didn't want to trade.
 "Whatchergot?" said the store keeper.
 The man ran his hand down in- to his coat pocket and pulled out an egg. "This," said he.
 "One aig" said the storekeep- CT. "And what do you want for that?"
 "Wall," drawled the man, ''you can give me a couple knitting needles for it, can't ye?'
 "Ef that's all," said the store keeper, "I reckon 1 kim"
 The man received the knitting needles, and looking up at the storekeeper, he said: ''Ain't you gong to treat?" (The custom south demands treat whenever d swap of any kind is made.
 "Well," said the storekeeper, "what you want?"
 "Oh, Pm not particular" said the man. "Gi' me a drink O sherry"
 So the storekeeper handed out bottle of sherry and glass.
 "Help yourself"
 The man thought a moment, and then said, solemnly: 'I nev- ah drink sherry without breakin' an aig in it."
 "Well, upon nah soul!" said the storekeeper. But he handed him the egg he had just received, and said: Here's youah aig, you kin have it"
 The man broke the egg into the glass of sherry, and in doing so discovered that the egg had two yolks. He drained the glass, smacked his lips, pronounced it a kine drink and then said to the storekeeper: "You know you ought to gi' me two more knit tin needles, don't your"
 "Why?" asked the storekeeper, perplexed?"

Beet Leaves Make Milk.

In Germany COWS in milk are given enormous quantities of sugar beet leaves-as much as l5O pounds daily for each 1000 pounds of live weight-besides concentrates in proportion to the milk yields, two, four seven and ten pounds, and about twenty pounds of straw.
 The food is weighed daily, as is the milk from each COW, and samples are kept for testing. It has been the opinion that beet leaves give thin milk, but in Germany milk testing 3.58 per cent when the COWS are fed green

An eminent professor of the United States Agricultural Department has been studying the hen. Think of writing books on hens. Listen to this The American hen produces more in dollars and cents, than all the gold and silver mines in the country combined; and 1T the value of the hens be added, the aggregate is twice the annual yield of all the gold and silver mines and six times the value of the wool crop.
 The most independent man on earth Is the farmer, for he makes the earth yield him almost everything needed for life. He knows that as he SOws 30 will he reap. He usually keeps strong and healthy with constant strife with nature in sunshine and in pure air. At sum down. when work is done, he finds most refreshing sleep in bed, such as only tired man knows. In the same way that the earth yields food for man; so does It provide remedies for human ills. Thou sands of households throughout the farming districts of the United States know the value of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is natures most valuable and health-giving agent-made without the use of alcohol. It contains roots, herbs and barkS, and is the con centration of natures vitality as found in the fields and woods This remedy has history which speaks well for 1t because it was given to the public by Dr. R " Pierce, founder of the lnva- lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y, nearly forty years ago, and has since been sold by druggists in syor increasing quantities.

 "But one morning a very tall, robust Indian came, asking the farmer for work.
 "' Mo- said the white man, you will get tired. You Indians are always tired.'
 This Injun not like other In juns. Never get tired.
 "The upshot was that the In- dian was engaged and put to work in a cornfield. The farmer went away. When he returned an hour os two later the Indian was asleep under 8 tree.
 "'Here, wake upp exclaimed the indignant farmer. you told me that you never got tired!'
 "'Ughn grunted the red man, yawning, This Injun never get tired. But if he not lie down often he would get tired just like other Injuns.'"

corn fodder will give 3.54 per cent in the beet leaves period, or virtually the same. Neverthe less there is one drawback: When many leaves are fed, the manure is likely to become too soft, and it seems that the COWS lose in weight. It is suggested that by giving the cows thirty grams of precipitated phosphate of lime while the beet leaves are fed the digestion of the COWS is improved and the manure be- comes normal.

Alfalfa; 1.7O acres: This was Sown May lS, I9O5 yielding three cuttings of about fl ve tons of clean hay the first season. During the sec ond season, covered by this Timely Hint, there were seven cuttings with total of about 20 tons of hay. The only cash outlay was S224l for irrigating water. The labor re- quired was, mans time. IA days and team nine days, which is rather high labor require ment for this alfalfa on account of the small size of the field under consideration, and lim- ited use of machinery. This crop at 6 % to Sl0.00 a ton, loose, which has been the price this season, represents a cash return of not less thar S12O.OO for the crop; but this hay was used to feed the team employed on the place, proving to be more than sufficient for that purpose, since stack of about three tons re- mains at the end of the season.

 FOR FARMERS.
A Lesson in Intensive Farming by R. Ii. Forbes, Director and Chemist of Agricultural
 Experiment Station.
University of Arizona,
 January l5, 1907.

lU. brush and crposote bushes. The original purpose of the tract was for planting selected varieties of date palms imported by the U. S. Department of Agriculture from the Old World The Experiment station, May 7, be- gan preparing the ground, and on May 20 the work of levelling, bordering and irrigating the tract and the planting of l52 palms, was completed.
 THE PLAN OF WORK.
 Recognizing, however, that farmer with his living to make meantime, cannot afford to wait for an orchard to come into bearing, it was planned to plant crops for quick re- turns between the tree-rOwS, thus putting the work on feasible basis from the small farm CTS point of view. In order to ecOnOmize ground the irrigating borders were so placed as to coincide with the rows of palms, thus utilizing space otherwise usually wasted. The tract was divided by the borders into lands, for the most part One-half an acre in size. lrrigating water from the Colorado Valley F. 6 l. Canal was obtained in the cus- tOmary manner, and E. l.. Crane, himself Yuma Valley farmer, undertook the care of what was nicknamed our play farm."
 In size, as well as in the intensive character of the work planned, this ''farm' is the op- posite of the average holdings of this locality. The prevailing crops of the region are alfalfa, corn barley, and fOrages in general, compara- lively little attention being given to Vege- tables and fruits. Withal, the cost of levelling land in this region is high, rarely falling be- low twenty dollars an acre at current prices for labor and teams Moreover, the cost, ex- elusive of maintenance, of the Government irrigating system now under construction will be about S3.5O an acre annually for ten years. To meet these and other heavy items of expense in connection with the establish menJ of a farm in this region intensive crops of Q more remunerative character than those now in vogue are essential. It was partly, therefore as an object lesson bearing upon these financial aspects of the general situa- tion, that this cultural work was planned.
