Sectional View of Refrigerator.

about 16 or Is inches apart, with two
thicknesses of lumber laid inside and
outside the studs In the space be-
tween the studs up the whole height
of the wall may be placed sawdust
or other filler, generally used in re-
frigeration For the ordinary refrfg-
orator this makes fairly good insular
ton
For inside construction, the plan
provides for circulation of air. The
serious difficulty in refrigeration is al
ways that of moisture, and there is
no entirely satisfactory way as yet
discovered for getting rid Of excessive
moisture in a small refrigerator. The
plan here suggested will certainly
lessen the amount of moisture, per-
haps reduce it to tolerable proper
ton. The plan consists in building
fue on each side of the refrigerator,
one due extending from the ceiling
of the refrigerator upward to the cell
ing of the ice chamber, and the other
flue extending from the floor of the ice
chamber nearly to the floor of the re-
frigerator. This fiue may be built Of
one-half inch boards laid on four or
six inch studs between this boarding
and the main wall. Besides these two
fues there is another horizontal fue
built just below the ceiling of the re-
frigerator. 1t consists of studs run
ming across the room from one to the
other of the aforementioned fues,
and these studs sheeted below with
NJ
izontal f1ue is to draw the air from
what otherwise would be a dead cor
ner of the room, namely, the upper
corner opposite the upper ventilating
f1ue. With these arrangements there
will be a sufficient amount of circula-
ton acting continuously between the
air of the refrigerator and the air of
the ice chamber. The air of the re-
frigerator will pass up through the
flue from the ceiling over the ice
and will there deposit moisture on &C
count of being cooled below the con-
densation point. This same air re-
turns to the refrigerator, by the OPP
posite flue, dried and cooled
The size and proportion of the build
ing will depend altogether on the
amount of products to be stored. 1t
may be built anywhere from six feet
square and seven feet high up to a
large-sized house.
AS to draining underneath either
the refrigerator or the ice house, there
should be drainage provided for both,
on account of the fact that the refrig-
orator requires to be kept as dry as
possible for. the sake of the products
stored and the ground underneath the
ice house should be kept as dry as
possible for the sake of preserving
the ice Natural or artificial drain
age should be provided for either re-
frigeratOr or ice house.

WOMAN CLAIMS GLACIER.
Expects to Dig Some Precious Ma
terial from Property.

Philadelphia.-Mrs Mary E. Hart,
formerly of Los Angeles who has just
returned to Seattle after visiting Alas
ka, has the distinction of being the
first person to stake out a mining
claim on a glacier while it was still in
action
Sidney Noise, with the local archi
tect firm of Hunt e Gray, was on
board the Seattle, which has just re-
turned from a trip to the Klondike
and he states that for the first time
in nine years passengers were able to
Skagway.
The glacier is considered far from
safe, but Mrs. Hart, with natural love
for adventure, stepped triumpEantly
ashore and was followed by others
eager for the experience of landing
upon the forbidden ice field
1t was found that the moraine, a de-
post freighted with precious ore,
which is always carried with the ice
in this section, had already become
quite solid, and Mrs. Hart forthwith
staked out a claim.
Mrs. Hart has passed a number of
years in Alaska and is conVersant
witk the mining situation there, hav-
ing owned and superintendent the work
in several claims. In order to gain
experience she at one time worked
with a pick in her own mine.

Of III varieties of potatoes tested
at the Ontario agricultural college, the
following varieties are among the best
when yield, size. freedom from rot
and quality are considered: Late
Empire State, Dempsey Seeding,
Rural New Yorker No. 2. Medium
Rose of the North, Burpee's Extra Ear
". Early-Early Fortune, Early Har-
vest, Extra Early Eureka and Early
Dawn. The result of planting potato
sets of different sizes and at differ
ent distances were in favor of two
ounce sets planted II inches apart, or
the heaviest sets planted the closest
together Planting one set per hill
has given the best average results for
eight years.

Pasturinn Wheat.

Pasturing the wheat does not ma
terially damage the crop if all the
stock is kept of the field when the
ground is soft Also, if the stock is
not allowed on the field later than
April 1 or Whereabouts. And if there
is slight damage done to the crop
by pasturing, the loss in this way is
small indeed in comparison to the
gain in the feed bill

The Keatin9 Property.

E. Mccormick, formerly connected with the A. c. mines at Metcalf, but who is now superintendent of the Luna Lead and Shelter works at Deming, N. M., spent few days of the past week in Clifton on business connected with the Wm. Heating mining property above Metcalf, which was recently purchased for al- most SlOO 900. MT. Mccormick $ brother is one of the principal par ties interested in the new company and while here he let the contract for 150 feet of shaft work to be ex- ecuted as fast as the work can be done.
 The first payment has already been made on the property and the new owners have given every indication of meaning business. A number of wealthy Michigan people are inter- ested in the syndicate having charge of this property, which practically insures its success.

The Town Clerks Office.

A great many of the Clifton people have been calling at the city clerks office during the past week to pay licenses and secure other information about the new town ordinances. The town laws do not become effective until five days after the publication of the ordinance in the town news paper and as it was necessary to make several changes in the headings of the new ordinances, they are being reprinted this week and will not be- come law until next week.
 On account of the short time the clerk has been unable to secure his supplies consequently the delay of one week will act more as an advant- age. The Clerks office will be located in the former Smith & Carlton in- surance office, opposite the Clifton Hotel and those having business with him can find him there most any time in the afternoons.

New Drilling Steel for COppermineS
 Company.

A shipment of new drilling steel arrived last week consigned co the Coppermines company of Arizona, which concern has options and is pre- pairing for extensive development on nearly 100 first-class mining claims in this district. Judging from the amount of steel received at this point, one would imagine that the company is preparing for an unusual. ly large amour. of work.
 The building of the Shannon-Ari- zona railroad is going to be a valu- able thing for the Coppermines com pany as it passes over a great deal of ground owned by the company, creating great saving in transpor- tation charges. Stephen Dorsey, the promoter of this concern, is expected to arrive here in a very short time for the purpose of laying out the work to be done
 There are many local people inter- ested in the success of this company as many of them sold property to it.

The DuIuth-ArizOna Company.

A. Loranger, one of the principal parties interested in the Duluth-Ari- zona gold mining company, recently organized for the purpose of becom- ing interested in the Clifton Morenci district, has now about finished his work of examining and it is under stood that his report will be a most fattering one. The company has made it's first payment on the A. Lafave group of five gold-silver-lead claims in the Greenlee district above Clifton and contemplate doing a large amount of development work on the property within the next year, depending somewhat on MT. Lorang- er's report.
 He has been busy the past two weeks making tests and taking sam- ples from the various claims and workings and reports that he was more than we'll pleased with results. The taking over of the Lafave prop erty is simply starter, as it is tEe object of the company to operate all over this district as well as outside districts. The company is repre- sented by prominent capitalists of Minnesota, most of whom are heavily interested in mining companies of Arizona. They are the class of peo- pie who developed Globe and Bisbee and thier entering the Clifton-Mo. renci district no doubt means some thing for this camp in the future.
 The submission of MT. Loranger's $ report will be made at once, after which the company will outline it's development work.

ALOs Angeles Mining Man In Camp.

w. L. Austin, a prominent and well known mining man of Los An geles, arrived in Clifton this week on business. MT. Austin has been work ing the Medler lease tor the past sev- era1 years and it is understood that good results have been encountered. The property on which MT, Austin has done the most development work is located between Longfellow and Metcalf within 50 feet of the rail- road track.
 Sample shipments of ore have been made to the Shannon smelter several times and it is reported that values were good. The property is still be- ing worked in a small way, but active operations will again be commenced in the near future.
 MT. Austin is we'll acquainted in many of the leading mining sections of the United States and he is of the opinion that the Clifton-Morenci country is as good as any of them.

THE influx of several new mining syndicates into the Clifton Morenci district, together with the progress of the old companies, places this dis trict in better condition than ever before in the history of the camp. During the next few years there will be more changes in this camp than one can imagine. The old companies are meeting with success in every corner of the district and the new people are taking up outside prop critics rapidly.

Because some tailings is still found in the river water, we hear complaints that justice is slow and that our courts are not compelling the mining companies to obey their decisions. We should not be so impatient. It is a very great undertaking for the min. ing companies to take care of their tailings, there being some three thou sand tons of mud to be husbanded each A hours. Already they have made considerable progress in the matter, but part of the slime can not be kept out of the river until tunnel is driven thru a mountain. On care tul inquiry we are convinced that the companies are making all reasonable haste in the matter, and the valley farmers are not being unnecessarily imposed upon.
 The above article was taken from Crosby's Paper, which is now being published at Thatcher. It is one of the fairest things that has ever ap- peared in d valley paper, as it is a well known fact that the mining com panies have spent thousands of dollars during the past several years in order to prevent the tailings fromibeing dumped in the river. It is true that a small amount of the shines are still being run into the river, but even under present conditions, and the river is unusually low on account of the dry weather, there is not enough silt to color the water to any great extent. Upon the completion of the D. c. Hume there will be nothing running down Chase creek, and the farmers of the lower end of the Gila valley certainly will have no more kick coming.

REGENT issues of the Bistee Re- view have thrown shots at Hoval A. Smith, one of the leading republi- cans of the territory and a resident of the Bisbee district. If MT. Smith has been thrown down by his party it is new one on his friends and it is a we'll known fact that he has not been out for anything. It seems to be the object of the Review to convince MT. Smith that he has been given the worst of it in order to cause him to cease taking interest in future campaigns. In former campaigns,
 except the last one, he has taken very little interest in politics in Co., ckise county and his influence and work last fall made great difference in the political complexion. MT. Smith is just little too smooth to follow the channel through which the Review is endeavoring to guide him.

CLIFTON is now to have an Elk's lodge, which promises to be one of the greatest boosts this district ever had. It is understood that Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf will furnish
 nearly two hundred good names for membership, which will be a good starter. There are quite a large number of local people who belong to the Globe lodge who, of course, will become members of the Clifton or ganization. The charter membership fee has been fixed by the local com mittee at fifty dollars, which will give the new lodge a handsome treasury at the beginning. A build ing is under consideration and will in all probability be located in South Clifton, just below the Shannon store.
