The United Rico Mines company has
a force OF men at work opening up
new ground and old raises on the
150 foot leel of the Jumbo No. vein,
and the work is being pushed stead
lily.
Connections have been made from
the Jumbo No. Q workings to the
vestal workings. which has resulted
in opening up much good ground in
Jumbo No. Q and the old slopes Of
the Vestal workings which contain a
large tonnage Of good milling dirt.
Access to the Vestal workings has
been closed since 1895 owing to a
cave In and hence the new connec-
tions which not only largely increases
the available supply of stope dirt and
ore for milling but opens the way
to develop new high grade territory.
All Of this work Is preparatory to
eQuipping the Group tunnel mill with
electrical power and the Stalmann-Ger-
mer process of concentration. BY the
time this can be done an ample supply
of orc and mill dirt will be available
to keep the plant running perma-
nently.

WILL RUN TRAINS

Denver Republican.

Denver Republican.
From now on the trains on the Den
yer Z Rio Grande system are going to
run on time, Incredible as this state
ment may appear to many who have
discovered, as the road freely admits,
that the present schedule is impossi-
BILE to maintain, there is every prob
ability that the road will be able to
make good its assertion that, after
June 9, the time made by Denver g.
Rio Grande trains will cease TO be q
joke. A new timecard is to go into
effect on that date, and the trains
will run slow, but officials OF the road
say that the printed schedule will be
maintained rigidly.
The reduction in speed was in line
with the recent action taken by the
through lines between here and Chi
cago, and is an instance of the move
ment for safer trains which Is general
all over the country at present. The
Rio Grande has been anxious for
many months to establish time card
which could be maintained in practice
as 1t was worked out in theory, and
this. 1t is hoped, will be accomplished
under the new schedule.

FIELD PEAS.
Iamosa Courier,

AIamosa Courier.
The field pea, as grown in the San
Louis valley Is different from the field
pea as 1t grows anywhere else in
the world. 1t is almost an entirely
hard, round pea, similar to the Can
ada pea, grown extensively In the
northern states and In Canada. 1t is
not like the COW pea, or clay pea, or
whip-poor-wlll pea, which are grown
quite extensively In the south. These
so-called peas are really kind of
bean. The field pea is a true pea and
Is very hardy. They are drilled in.
or sown broadcast and plowed under
early in the spring. They sprout
quickly and grow rapidly. They re-
quire no cultivation and their yield
Is enormous. They will fatten more
hogs than an acre OF corn with one
tenth the labor. The hogs turned into
the field in early winter, where they
will feed the entire winter II de-
sired, but are fattened and ready for
market in sixty to ninety days. In
the cool climate Of this valley hog
cholera and swine plague are un-
known. Pea-fattened pork is of the
highest quality. Denver and Pueblo
packers are now paying rs to 100
cents per hundred weight more more
for pea-fed hogs than for the same
grade corn-fed hogs. One of the re-
markable things about the field peas
is that they leave the soil richer for
growing in 1t. They are valuable fer
tilizers.
