The Dryden group of silver
lead mining claims, owned by the
Williams boys, are looking very
promising. This group consists
of four claims, and is situated
near the Sullivan springs west
of Clayton. There has been con
siderable tunnel work done on
these claims. An adit tunnel OF
128 feet in length is being run
which will tap the ledge at a
depth OF about 100 feet. The
ledge has three feet of ore in
width. and the paystreak carries
ore that yield 100 ounces of silv
Ier per ton and 63 per cent lead
These mines have every promise
of being big producers wher
properly developed.

RICH
ORES.

Parker Mountain mining dis
trict is situated about 25 miles in
northwesterly direction from
Challis. Although in Lemhi
county, Challis is the nearest
town and the supply point. 1t is
on what is known as Warm
Springs creek. The camp was
named in honor Of Alton b.
Parker, about three years ago,
and was brought into prominence
by Edwin Williams and w. w.
Adamson, who found and located
the Parker mine, which contains
some very rich ore. Later the
Ed. Williams mine, adjoining
Parker mine, was discovered.
Then followed quite a stampede
into the camp and camp pros
poets were located, but little
work was done on them, except
the Parker and Ed Williams
group.
The Ed. Williams property is
owned by the three Williams
brothers and T. J. Kerr. 1t con-
tains the same class of ore found
in the Parker mine, and is also
very rich in It's gold values, al
Though it carries more or less
silver. The highest grade ore
is that of the soft or decompos-
ed rock, which runs up into the
thousands of dollars per ton.
Last fall when the own ers
we're doing the annual assess
ment work on the Ed. Williams
claim, they sacked and shipped
is, ,266 pounds of ore to Salt Lake
which went SS7I.49. One sack
of the high grade ore weighed
/ 81 pounds and il went SS6.58. or
nearly S1.OO per pound.
With the new lotion mill going
in on the Parker this spring we
iloo1 for considerable activity in
the camp this year. This Is a
good field for prospectors, as the
the territory has not bsen half
prospected.

OUR

the Sunday School Convention
held at the Methodist church last

PERIOD OF LAcTATioN.
II Has an important Bearing on the
Value Of the Cow.

The period of lactation, or the
length of time a COW will milk, is an
important point, and one that does not
seem thoroughly appreciated. The
"escutcheon," or milk mirror" is ID
fair guide TO what may be expected
from a COW on this score, but weekly
records OF the milk are more reliable,
and II these records are compared
with the escutcheon and general ap.
pearance, much valuable information
will be learned.
The heaviest mixers are not always
the best cows, as many an animal
giving a comparatively small guam
tity will continue to milk almost up
to her next calving, yielding in the
long run more milk and being, there
fore, the more profitable COW for the
dairy.
AS rule, the smaller the yield, the
richer Is the quality of the milk, and
similarly the smaller breeds of cattle
generally give the best milk The
richness OF milk is due to the proper
ties OF the fat globules. Mil6 con-
tanning large and regular sized fat
globules yields up all the butter fat
In the churn, and all conditions being
equal, makes better butter, both in
flavor, color and quality, than that
containing small and irregular sized
fat globules.
The trade or business of the farm
should therefore determine the breed
OF the cow to be used. II milk is re.
quired, the larger breeds of cattle
should be kept; II butter. the small
er ones.
