The light receipts contributed to the frmness
of the market.
Butter receipts were improved over Friday
and the price as 1t declined during the week
was maintained without intimation of further
drop.
Receipts in eggs are still adequate and the
movement has slightly improved. Stil the

opportunity to match up teams,
exchange live stock, sell high
class animals for good prices and,
in fact, dispose of whatever they

Well Known Mining Man From Buffalo Hump Has Good
Words to Say for That Camp
RICH STRIKE MADE IN DEL RIO
Property Owned by Cottonwood People Shows Up Fine Ore
Body as Work on Tunnel Progresses

months and says that mine is
showing up wonderfully well.
An 800-foot tunnel, which is be-
ing run at the 450-foot level,
recently encountered a rich vein
of ore in the face of the tunnel.
This ore body is now Z feet wide
and promises to extend fully 16
feet wide between the walls as
the tunnel progresses. The dis
covery is a rich one and much of
the ore encountered is almost
free milling so that little expense
will be attached to milling it. A
controlling interest of the De
Rio property is held by citizens
of Cottonwood who naturally
feel highly elsted over the bright
outlook of their property.
Mr.. Stantial will not go bacl
into the Hump this summer, but
on the advice of his physician
will seek a lower altitude ant
perhaps spend part of his time il
the Elk City district, returning
to the Hump after his health re
covers somewhat.

WHAT MONTANA HAS.

The people of our sister state,
Montana lay claim to the follow
ing: The greatest mining camp
on earth, the largest smelter in
the world, the highest concrete
stack in existence, the richest
individual mineowner, the richest
large ore body ever found, and
that the dividends from Montana
mining companies are equal to
the combined dividends of all
other metal mines iron possibly
excluded-in the United States.
And for the past five months
there has been in operation in
the great mineral state the
largest and most perfect dredg-
ing plant in the world, with two
others in process of construction
at old Alder gulch, the scene of
the first great gold excitement
in the territory.

]. D. Stantial, a prominent
mining man of Buffalo Hump,
was in the city several days the
first of the week reporting pro-
gress on the Del Rio property
there. Mr.. Stantial has been
engaged in mining at the Hump
for the past ten years and says
that camp is bound to eventually
become an important one as it
certainly has the ore there. Mr..
Stantial believes it will be some
time yet before the Hump camp
recovers from the "black eye" it
has received in mining circles
but says that as soon as sufficient
capital can be interested there to
take the properties up and work
them on a proper scale the
camp is certain to prove a win

ally all his life and is well posted

THE POULTRY YARD.

Do not make the common error
of setting hens in the regular
laying houses, and never be
guilty of shutting up a hen en-
the nest. The barrel method is
far better, and if a small lath
run is built ir-front Of the nest,
the hen can get off and on her
nest as she deems best.
Some hens sit too closely to the
nest, and others not close enough.
But it is not in the province Of
man to know just how long biddy
should remain on or off her eggs.
Her judgement is best in such
matters.
1t is not advisable this time of
year to place more than eleven
eggs under a hen, as those on
the outer edge are apt to become
chilled.
Do not disturb her while she is
Matching; and leave the young in
the nest for at least twenty-four
hours. The youngsters need the
warmth more than they do food.
For the first two weeks it is
best to keep the hen and her
young in a large house or coop,
so that they can exercise and at
the same time be protected from
the weather. After that time
they can be allowed outdoors
during the middle of nice days.
Be sure that the new male
bird you are using for breeding
is no relative of the hens. You
cannot expect strong, rugged
stock where there is a close
relation ship between sire and
dams.
For strong fertility, try alter
mating male birds in the pens.
Have either two males for each
! pen, or three males for two pens,
using only one male at a time ir
a pen, and changing about twice
a week.
Eggs from two-year old hens
are apt to hatch best at this time
and the chicks will be NOR.
thrifty than those from pulle
3 eggs.
AS a rule the eggs from hen
that did heavy laying during til,
winter will not be so fertile a
eggs from hens that made but
7 fair showing. Farm Journal.

1T RAINED MUD.

Last Friday the weather gave
a UNIQUE exhibition of what
might be termed some of the
absurdities of nature. Following
a heavy rain the wind sprang up
about A O'Clock in the morning,
blowing with increasing velocity
until it reached 40 to 30 miles an
hour. About noon clouds OF
dust appeared on the western
horizon and soon spread over the
sky, hiding the sun. In the
afternoon clouds gathered behind
the dust and rain fell; yet SO
heavy were the dust clouds that
it literally rained mud. Win
dows were covered with a thick
coating of this mud making lights
necessary as early as 5 O'Clock
in the evening. The grounc
everywhere was covered with
this alkili dust, which may have
come from the neighborhood Of
Ritzville, as heavy rains it the
Palouse had left no dust for the
wind to carry. It's hoped tha
nature will~not repeat this
performance. Cotton News Let
