DEVELOPMENT WORK
 AT LITTLE BUTTE
The Cutting of Fine Ore Body on the
 POO Foot Level.

II. B. King, C. B. King and George Tisdale returned home yesterday from Bouse where they went the day before to look over the Little Butte mine again after several weeks absence. All returned greatly enthused with the progress of operations and especially with the appearance of new ora bodies recently exposed.
 The shaft is now down 26S feet and sinking is being pushed along as fast as possible. Within two weeks 1t IS expected the 300 foot level will be reached and that the shaft will by that time run into the main lead. The water is giving little trouble and it will not be long until it will be necessary to install a pump 10 take care of it.
 on the 100 foot level the drift to the south at the distance of 250 feet from the shaft on Monday struck four and a half feet of solid shipping ore The drift has been in ore all the time but seems to nave entered new shoot or higher grade and better formation on the 200 foot level there has been no recent drifting to the south but cross cut has been run to tap what seems to be the main lead and Whlcn was encountered at 65 feet westwardly from the shaft. The crosscut has penetrated this ore body twenty five feet and II is presumed it is much wider for the same formation on the surface Is 15O feet wide. though there are no impor- tant values in evidence on the surface But where cut on the 900 foot level the samples for the full twenty-five feet have returned an average gold value of s4.5O. It has not been tested yet for copper but that the values are good is easily seen without a test
 The company is now working twenty one men and hopes to increase the sorce soon This will be done as soon as more ore bins can be constructed below ground. a work that is now Tn progress Without these bins the hoist would be overtaXed and no more men could be worked to advantage.

 In regard to Post and his company, the San Francisco Dramatic Review prints the following in its issue oi September 25:
 Every man, woman CT child in the city of San Diego and outside of it who have witnessed the change of bill weekly at the Pickwick during the last ten weeks will regret the departure of Jim Post and his famous Buty Korus. They have certainly endeared them- selves to the theater- going people of san Diego. Their stay has been of a most pleasant character. Not one thing has happened tO mar the pleasure of 1t all Jim Gas everybody calls himl has caused many people to split their sides with laughter with his quaint, honest and inimitable portrayal of the Irish character. As for the girls, they have by their most excellent work and splendid department both on and off the stage set an example that will be most difficult to follow. The engage ment has been exceedingly pleasant and profitable one. and the best wishes of the people of San Diego go with them wherever they are called. The company goes direct from here to Phoenix.

wherever he may be on eiJner continent The ears of corn also are beautiful and the tassels have been the theme of poetry In all lan- guages. The stalk grows to height or two to 15 feet depending upon the variety of the grain planted and the nourishment 1t re- ceives Corn is an annual, reaching its full maturity within a single season, sometimes within 60 days of planting, and must there fore be sown from the seed for each recur- ring crop year. As botanical species it does not of itself travel far and is propagated ra- ther feebly by natural means. Consequently the widespread knowledge of corn shows to what extent it must have been cherished by the Indians and how it must have been hand ed on from one tribe and country to another.
 There are six well-known kinds of Indian corn, with innumerable varieties, including pop corn, flint corn, dent corn, soft or Cuzco corn .(the name indicating some traditional origin from Peru), and the delicious sweet corn. The pop corn is supposed to be the di- rect descendant of the Mexican ancestor
 As food product maize has few equals among the cereals. The Indians thrived on it, and so long as they continue it's use they show much of their pristine sturdiness, but when by climatic or other reasons it is de- nied them they suffer in physique and morale In Asia and Africa maize is likewise food for man, but in north Europe it has not at- tained the popularity it merits, although it's nutritiye value far surpasses, at the same cost, many of the food products the peasant consumes. Strong effort has been made by the United States government to introduce corn into Europe in all it's different culinary forms, but the conservatism of the old world is not easily overcome in favor of food pro- ducts from the new.

Pueblo Indians the Rio Grande, and from them eastward to the Mississippi. Carried northward by the Iroquois and Algonquins, it was stopped only by climatic severity at the latitude of the Great Lakes and the lower area of the state of Maine. Its culture ex tended south through Guatemala and other portions of Central America and even across the lsthlnus of Panama thence it carried Into the Andean regions and extended finally as far south in Chile as the climate permitted or as the Indian population desired. East of the Andes the spread of maize by nature was restricted by the dense forests of the Amazon slope and by the lower altitude of that great drainage basin, because Indian corn requires for it's growth definite climatic conditions which this portion of South America does not offer. There is no exact evidence that the region of the River Platte, now wonderfully productive of maize, utilized by the tive Indian tribes resident there prior to the coming of the Spaniards.
 From America maize was first introduced into Span Thence it spread throughout Flu rope and into Asia and Africa. In eastern Flu rope it unfortunately received the name of Turkish wheat because of the erroneous mo- tion prevailing that the (present) West Indies being India everything introduced from there must necessarily come through Turkey. Other confusing names imply some indefinite origin of this kind but the geographic prefix refers simply to the commercial, not to the agricul- tural source of the grain. The Portuguese carried maize into Africa in the sixteenth cen tury and by them it gradually spread over much of the continent. In this connection it is interesting to note that the staple foods of the wild inhabitants of the dark continent maize, manioc or cassava and pineapple-have all been introduced through some such routes of trade and commerce.
 Maize early reached India and Burmah It grows there now everywhere among the hills

in which maize is eaten to-day in America are all inherited directly from the aborlglnal planters and housewives from Cape Cod to Chile
 The corn of the present commercial mar ket however, is more highly developed grain than that which the Europeans found when they first landed Science has improved the species in this in other products of the fields The appropriate conditions of soil and climate have been studied, with resulting 1n- creased knowledge on the subject Corn de- mands rich land. Clay must be avoided; swampy, undrained areas are unsuitable while too much shade, as is often caused by close proximity to timber, is sure to be harmful. Land can be drained, however, timber can be cut, or the shady places can be utilized for other purposes. Soil can be improved by fer tizers, or in many cases fertilization may be accomplished, while at the same time secon- diary crops may be raised by wide planting of corn and interplanting between the rows. Thus cotton can be grown along with corn when the climate is favorable and good re- suits are often attained by growing peanuts as

 displaced of the leading food
 products for mankind &azzxz Maize will not grow in all climates,
 however. It requires long summers with plenty of sunlight, hot days and nights, with suiil- cient but not too much rain. The range best suited for the crop is from 45 to 65 degrees Y. of mean temperature but it will produce most abundantly with a maximum temperature of about so degrees F. and rainfall of from 30 to 50 inches. Frost kills the plant in all it's stages and it cannot flourish where the nights are cold, matter how favorable the other conditions. In the United States an elevation of over 2000 feet seems too high for the con- mercal growth of Indian corn but of course the farther south it is traced the higher is the elevation at which luxuriant crops the rule. In Mexico vast maize fields found at height of over $500 feet and in Peru it grows at an altitude of 12,000 feet
 Indian corn was found over most of the United States east of the Mississippi by the earliest explorers and settlers It was the crop to which the Indians gave most attention and the great staple that turned them from the nomadic life of the chase into the home building people such as agriculturists must be. The primitive method of preparing the ground was by tlling with hoes made of clam shells but the English taught more improved methods, although the latter learned the ad- vantage of fertilizing with herrings, which the Indians applied abundantly to the surrounding soil. Their hills were five feet apart-a prac- tical distance that can be decreased only when the soil is rich and the climate very favorable. As the explorers travelled southward they found different varieties and different methods of preparing it for food. It was made into meal; it was boiled or parched roasted. Often it prepared into flour and served as provision for journey. The many forms

and is the favorite crop of the people. In the val leys rice takes it's place, but even then there is usually a little plot of maize about the natives home. The Portuguese reached Java in 1496 and China in 1516, bringing maize with them, and as no trustworthy evidence has ever been brought forward to the effect that this grain was known in the far east prior to these dates, it is safe to say that it's march from America along this path is well established.

that maize was indigo nous in the far east and the vague term Turkish corn-used in Germany and elsewhere-has been alleged as proof, but these claims have no sub stantial warrant. Gen eral scientific agreement, therefore, places the first home of Indian corn in the southern section of central Mexico. Here lived the Mayas, the fore most agriculturists of America, who long pre- ceded the Peruyians in this art and whose mate rial impress on their country is ineradicable. All the plants closely re- lated to maize are Mexi- can and the discovery of a very primitive form of the plant in this part of  Mexico aids in reaching this conclusion.
