UNION mo. 0

The immense ore dump of $500 tons
on the Briggs-Evans lease No. IA, on
Union No. 8, will commence to be milled
today at the Canyon Milling company's
plant.
This dump will average at a conserva-
tive estimate s2S per ton. The canyon
mill has made an excellent record In the
percentage of gold savings on plates.
and the milling of this big dump VIII
turn loose in Manhattan, both for com
pany urposes and for the easement OF
lessees' finances, a very reputable num-
Der of thousands of dollars.
The Canyon mill is just completing a
run of 500 tons from the Pete Bart lease
on Union 9, which has netted the lessee
in the neighborhood of s25 to the ton.
As soon as the cyanide and the con-
contractors are installed in the Canyon
mill, Thanksgiving ore will begin to be
hauled to that plant.
Drifting has been commenced on the
Riggs-O'Brien lease on Union 4 at the
125-foot level on the ledge, which is 8
feet wide and may be wider, as there is
no hanging wall in sight, and which
carries values from $40 to $35 a ton.
The lessees will begin stopping and TAX
ing out ore at once.
On the suitcase on this lot, Stewart
and associates are down 80 feet and have
an immense body of $50 ore.
The Rose-Nash crosscut at the 125
level will reach the ledge within a week.
when. it is not doubted, n of the rich
est leads in the camp will be furnishing
ore for three different hoists.
MANHATTAN BREYP00LE
The south drift at the 200-foot level
in the Poak-Meahan lease on the Brey-
fogle, each days work brings to light
rock carrying better values than the day
previous. All are agreed that there is
not much more distance to be made be-
fore the Thanksgiving ledge will be cut.
Rich cross ~stringers coming into the
Mineral Hill ledge at 200 feet show con-
clusively that the same general char
acter as to vein system holds through
out the length of the great east and west
contact.
Last week a cross assure of narrow
size was broken into. returning assay
values of s54.ss and $337.s2 per ton.
These ~stringers will be more thoroughly
prospected at once and the question as
to whether they connect with rich ore
bodies adjacent to the contact will be
carefully studied.
Crosscuts will probably be run to
thoroughly exploit these high value
streaks.

POOR OLD EDDY MURPHY

She was so old and so poor and so wrinkled and so consistently pleading that, although most of the passersby hardly gave her a glance. few of the more sympathetic paused long enough to drop coin into her hand. The Busy Girl, who was hurrying to the office, looked at her with pity in her eyes, but quickly turned her head away and walked on with an air of determination. That little gleam of compassion, however, was not lost by the old woman. She saw it and fol lowed, talking volubly. with a soft blarney in her voice, until the girl wavered and finally stopped

Moisture in Butter.

The law limiting the legal amount
of moisture in butter to l6 per cent has
made it imperative that some simple
and accurate plan of determining the
moisture content be evolved. The old
methods are either inaccurate or else
require expensive apparatus and con-
siderable knowledge of chemistry.
After great deal of study and expert
mentation the Dairy Department of the
Iowa Experiment Station has worked
out method which has proven very
satisfactory. By the use of this plan
any creameryman can with very lit
tie practice make quick and reliable
tests of the amount of moisture in but
ter. He will then be enabled TO avoid
exceeding the legal limit, and at the
same time keep from letting the per-
centage of moisture from rnnning too
low which detraGts frem both the quail
ity OF the butter and the amount of the
overrun. Bulletin No. 81 of the Iowa
Experiment Station gives complete in
structions for carrying out these mois-
ture determinations. Copies may be

cresco Wins Both Games From
Charles City.

That Cresco has first class ball
team none can doubt. Cresco has won
3 games out of from Charles City,
one of the strongest teams in this part
of the state. Wednesdays game was
the rubber, each team having won 2
games on previous dates. A large and
enthusiastic crowd was out to cheer
Cresco to victory, and the way Cresco
went after Charles City was not slow.
Tuesdays game was more interesting
as the score was close, and it was
anybody's game until the last man was
out in the 9th inning. =
FIRST GAME.
Cresco scored in the first inning on
hits by Doherty coupled with two
excusable errors by Charles City's
players. There was nothing more
doing for Cresco until the 9th, when
hits by Cratzmeyer, Paley, Melang,
stolen base by Burke, Glass sacrifice
hit and an error by Osterholm, gave
Cresco runs and the game.
Charles City did not cross the rubber
until the 5th inning when hit, stolen
base and an error gave them one run.
They scored again in the 9Th and 9Th
innings on hits by Reem, Brush and
Higgins.
Scheutz' pitching was the feature of
the game, striking out IA men while
Lindey struck out but one.
SECOND GAME.
This was less interesting than the
first as Cresco slowed the game away
in the End inning. With the bases full,
Burke, our midget catcher, hit for a
home run; before Charles City came to
earth again, Cresco scored 2 more runs
making a total of runs. Cresco
scored one more run in the 9th inning
making the total runs to Charles
City's one.
Scheutz again pitched gilt edged ball
and the fielding behind him was of
major league variety. Not a ground
ball got through the stone wall infield.

much or is socking it to you on some

Weather Crop Bulletin.

The most favorable weather con-
ditions of the season prevailed during
the past week. The average tempera-
ture was about two degrees above the
normal, with an excessive amount of
sunshine, and but very little rainfall
up to Saturday night. Thunder storms,
with light to heavy showers, were
general over the larger part of the
state Saturday night, the heaviest rain
fall being reported from the central
counties. There have been from four
to six days during the week favorable
for field work, and the cultivation of
corn has been continued vigorously.
Most of the early planted corn on high
or we'll drained ground has been plowed
the third time and some fields have
already been laid by in good condition.
The excessive sunshine and brisk winds
have enabled farmers to plant and
cultivate fields which have heretofore,
been. too wet. The size of corn is ex-
ceedingly variable, ranging from two to
three inches high on low, wet land to
the regulal4F Fourth Of July standard on
high lands. On the whole, the con-
ditions are much better than could
have been expected three weeks ago.
The weather has been favorable for
the growth and development of all
small grains. But very little rust has,
as yet, been reported, and the pros
poets for good crops are very promis-
ing. Clover hay making has begun in
all parts of the state, and the crop is
being put up in good condition, with
very heavy yields.
Timothy, potatoes, and all garden
truck have made excellent gro with.
Fruits of all kinds vary from very poor
to two-thirds of a normal crop.
