WORK AT
 PORTAGE
 MOUNTAIN
Company is Talking Little But is Saving Considerable Wood"

Our writer acknowledges the pleasure of forming the acquaintance of MT. Remington, president of the Portage Mountain Mining Company, who was In town for a short ine during the week, having come down from the Kupreanoff Island properties in the Far Niepte, last Sunday night, and returning Monday. While in town he attended to some legal matters connection with the Port. age Mountain claims, that being the principal reason for his trip in. MT. Remington is S Minnesota man, and impressed us as one who was not in the habit of talking simply to hear his head rattle, but rather, ss. 6 very con- servatiye man, and from our interview we learned that he has been in Alaska for a number of weeks, looking after the interests of the company and examining the properties at Portage Mountain. He informed us that he was highly pleased with the outlook for the successful oper. ation of the mines-so much go, in fact, that upon his suggestion the work of development vii! not be confined to the mere performance of assessment work, but that arrangements were now being made by which the properties could be worked on large scale in tbe very near future
 The properties comprise tventy-one claims, of which twelve claims are in one group, and upon this group the main part of the work ia being done in the shape of driving tunnel on the ledge. This tunnel, Mir. Remington says, is not small or experimental af- fair, but is sufficiently large to permit real mining work to be carried on at any time, and Is being permanently tim bersd as driving proceeds. A small crew of men are at work on this tunnel, and will be kept at work there until the in- tended depth is reached.
 The remaining nine claims are out. lying at convenient distances from the main group. and upon these assessment work will be done until the company gees fit to make other arrangements.
 The success of the development of the Portage Mountain properties will mean a great deal to this entire section, and We shall all welcome the day when they are producing abundant returns.
 MT. Remington will take passage on the next southbound Hum boldt from Petersburg ior his home in Minnesota.

Bugs That Eat Bugs.

The Department of Agriculture cul-
tivates insects that destroy any and
all crop parasites. The polygnQtus
hiemalis can whip any Hessian fly
ever born; the tysphlebus tricti is
death on the green bug. The green
bug eats the other, which promptly
lays its eggs inside its devourer. The
young eat their way to the open air,
thus killing the green bug, says Van
Nordans Magazine.
To one lady bug is due the destruc-
tion of the San Jose scale, which did
millions of dollars damage to the
fruit trees of California. When the
pest had become a positive menace
the department heard of species
of bug in North China which was
fatal to the scale. A large number
of the bugs were procured, but all
were dead except one when they
reached this country. The one insect
was taken to Washington and became
a ward of the Government. She
rewarded her keepers by laying about
5000 eggs. In an incredibly short
space of time she had flourishing
family of seven billions and the reign
of the scale was over.

Cracked Corn For Hens.

In recent experiment the Maine
Agricultural Station made a compari-
son of whole corn and cracked corn
for laying hens. Certain poultrymen
reason that cracked corn is more de-
sirable when thrown in the litter, be-
cause laying hens, which tend to grow
too fat upon the whole corn, are
forced to take more exercise in Sc
curing the smaller pieces. In Octo-
ber 1000 April hatched pullets were
put into ten like pens. Besides the
other food, the pullets in one-half
of the pens received whole corn, and
in the other half an equal weight of
cracked corn. The records of each
pen from November to April show
that the average number of eggs per
bird receiving the whole corn was,
for the various pens, eighty-four,
seventy-eight, seventy-three, seventy
seven and seventy-six, and for those
receiving the cracked corn seventy
nine, seventy-five, seventy-seven, sew
enty-five and seventy-four. From this
experiment it appears that there is
nothing in the results that leads to
the conclusion that it is necessary
or advisable to crack the corn fed
to hens kept for laying purposes.
