CLOSE DOWN FOR 4TH
Practically All Mines of District Shut
or Observation-Disclosures Plants Run
ming With Reduced Forces.

In honor of the Fourth nearly ev-
cry mine in the district, with excep-
ton of Giroux properties, will close
today and tomorrow. At the Giroux
work will be had just as usual.
Superintendent e. w. Walters of
the Giroux was in Ely yesterday.
When asked about closing he stated
that the Giroux properties had so
great an amount of work to handle
that such a thing as closing down for
one or both of the days was not to
be considered. While not great
number of the men are expected to
appear for work the pumps will be
kept going.
Foreman j. II. Gallagher of the
Veteran was also an Ely visitor yes
terday. At that property the holt
day will be observed by complete
clOsedown. except for few men
kept at necessary work about the
shaft. At both the Veteran and the
Copper Flat workings of Nevada Con-
solidated the men were made glad
yesterday by receiving their pay,
which will give them an opportunity
to fully enjoy the Fourth. The spe-
cial trains which will be run today
and tomorrow are expected to bring
down a great number of them.
AS Shelter such thing az close
down could not be considered on &C
count of the necessity of keeping the

ming. That numbers of the men will
lay off during the two days is not
to be doubted, however. and that
point will add its full quota to the

MINING NOTES.

Far larger returns than were ex-
peeted have been received by Il. l..
Fletcher, from his Grand Deposit
mine at Muncy creek, a 200 ton sam
pie submitted to the Steptoe plant
having returned him % per cent COP
per and 81 ounces silver to the ton.
The ore came from the 80 foot level
of the mine.
At this level the ore body is an
average of four feet in width and the
values are said by Mr.. Fletcher to be
average.
On the $50 level drifting Is in
progress on the same body of ore

For Two years seareher after a
ledge of gold-silver bearing rock,
wonderfully rich. according to le-

wealthy rancher of White River val

stay for the purpose of securing sup

Patterson. in northern Lincoln eoun-

to be located
The ledge for which Mr., Riordan
Is searching Is known as the Lost

first discovered. II the fall of that

returned bringing with him samples

Assays were taken and to the
great qualification of the hackers of
the enterprise one was found which
overtopped all the rest in value. This

new Goleonda but all efforts to locate

gineer-prospeetor was taken III with
pneumonia and after a short Illness
died. Before he died he was able
to tell with general directions the
location of the rich ledge which he
placed in northern Lincoln county in
the Patterson district
Other men were secured to carry
ON the search for the ledge but one
after another they failed. some com
ing back and others never being
heard from. Finally the search was
abandoned but the legend of the rich
find remained and lured many "A

A site has been offered free of
charge by G. L. Richard to the Lane
City school trustees for the new
school building there and all of the
bonds have been disposed of. The
last of the $4,000 issue was sub
scribed for yesterday.
District Attorney Eddy had the
bonds in his hands but two days be-
fore they were sold. More difficulty
than was experienced was expected
by him In securing the sale. but they
sold readily. 1t Is probable that work
on the school house will be started
In the near future in order to have
the building ready for the reception

Fire at St. Matthew'S

ST. MATTHEWS, March 14.-About
5o'clock this morning the alarm OF
FIRE was given and for the first time
the fire laddies had a real opportun-
ity to test the new waterworks, and
be it said to their everlasting credit
they cut short what might have been
one of the most destructive fires
which ever occurred in St. Matthews:
The fire originated in the store OF
MIR. w. A. Price in the Mach build
ing and was completely destroyed so
far as stock and inside work goes.
He carries some insurance, but not
half sufficient to cover the loss.
Adjoining the store of Mr.. Price
was the Office of DR.. A. R. Able
which, while sustaining no fire dam
ace, was delugedwith water, destroy.
ing books, papers and instruments.
Dr. Able is amply secured.
Next in the building is the store oc-
cupied by Mr.. N. B. Foures and while
his stock is almost ruined by water
she sustained no fire damage. Mr..
Foures carried no insurance.

Herd of Grade
Beef Cattle.

1t is with the grade herd that the
chief interest Of the ordinary farmer
lies as a beef producer. In reference
to the use of pure bred sires in build
ing up herd from native COWS it may
be said that cattle which show the
colors and qualities Of the beef breeds
sell better than those that do not. and
this is sufficient reason for using bull
of one of the beef breeds whenev er
the object is to produce beef animals
for sale. Buyers are Of the opinion
that pure bred beef animals and also
the grades of pure bred sires produce
the best quality Of beef as we'll as the
greatest number Of pounds Of dressed
meat per hundred pounds live weight.

ssNight Riders" Burn Barns.

VERSAILLES, KY, March 14.-Three
barns in Woodford county and one
just across the line in Scott were
burned early to-day by masked men.
The men were on horseback and in
the party numbering not
more than so. A number If shots
were fired, but as far as known no
body was hurt. The barns destroyed
belonged to George Strange, on Har-
ris estate near Midway; Hardin Rog-
ers on the Tucker place in Scott coun-
ty; Capt. James Williams, formerly
owner of the race horse RAMS Horn,
at Spring Station; George Graddy on
the Field turnpike. The men came
from the direction of Scott county.
They cut all telephone wires and the
amount of damage done is not yet
known. Gov. Wilson and party of
legislators were returning from Lex
ington to Frankfort on a trolley car
and passed the might riders with

NATIVE MISSISSIPPI COW.

NATIVE MISSISSIPPI COW.
rDam Of the heifer in the second cut.1
in the percentage Of dressed meat they
will yield. Common cattle with bad
treatment dress from 40 to so per cent.
while pure bred and grade cattle with
better treatment dress from 55 to 65
per cent. Some few dress 81 to SO per
cent.
The feed and pasturage for the dam
should very properly be charged to
each calf until the next calf Is drop
ped. This is a very important matter
in handling a herd Of beef cattle. II a
calf should be had from each COW each
year and every calf could be raised
each calf would only have to stand q
comparatively small feed bill for its
dam. Every effort should be made to
secure calf each year and to raise 1t,
and any neglect in this line is sure to
be felt in lessening the profits.
In starting to change a herd from
natives to grades spring is generally
preferred to fall. The common calves
dropped then should be made to pay
expenses until the grade calves are
being dropped, otherwise the first lo1
of grade calves will have very high
feed bills for their dams.
Also it is JUST as important to Gull

Enormous Marketing.


High prices draw the cattle. That Is
a market axiom. Over a million head
reached western stockyards during
September, a movement that does not
cast credit on the shortage shouters'
It would seem that the country Is max
ing more beef than ever. This proba-
bly is the case, and such runs would
demoralize markets but for the fact
that consumption has been running
away ahead Of production. Liquida'
ton is, however, to be reckoned with
in the market movement that has as
founded the trade recently.
Until ten days ago everything that
bore the. faintest resemb blance to a
sound mouthed eve sold SO readily In
the stockyards that statesmen were ha'
bitually accusing themselves OF giving
the stuff away despite the fact that 1t
was selling at the highest prices on
record and far higher than killers
could afford to pay. =.
All markets have enjoyed an unpre'
cedented demand. Breeding ewes have
sold at prices that would have ap-
peared fabulous ten years ago, the
bulk of yearling ewes selling on the
Chicago market as high as 81. All this
stuff has been taken into the farming
belt by experienced men and enthusi'
astic amateurs with a common object,
the raising Of lambs and founding OF
flocks, says the Breeders Gazette.
