NEW MEXICAN MININe LAWS

The Mex can Min ng Journal, which has been foremost in defense of for tign interests since the mater of new laws in the sister Republic was first preached, says that the new and modi- fec laws are now ready to be submit jed to Congress and that they will be come effective as submitted.
 The new code contains 150 articles embodying the present laws and the decrees and regulations that have been in force, with some slight changes de- signed with the view of removing con tflicts of Q legal nature. The institu. ton of a simplified code will be of the greatest benefit to the entire mining industry of the Republic.
 AS the Journal points out, the pro visions relating to the restriction of mining rights to Mex'can companies is obliterated from the draft submit ted and the restrictions which rs- quired the foreigner to secure execu, tive permission to locate claims in the border states has been restricted to an eighty-kilometer zone on the suppressed article No. IA, disqualify ing foreign corporations. is made to apply absolutely to th's zone. While this provision may result in some cur tahuent of foreign operations in sec tons of Sonora and Chihuahua, nc exception can be rightfulIy taken to it by mining men who consider tas matter in all it's bearings.
 Altogether the new laws are satis factory in every way to all interest, and have demonstrated to the civil ized world that the qualities of com manding statesmansh'p and broad miDdedness generally attributed :e

AMALGAMATED CRIME.

BOSTON. Jan. 7.-The crimc of Anna lganated was in taking Butte x B5sJcn into the Amalgamated Copper Cc Gn the basis of S100 pershar2 T. has just come to light, however that the late Marcus Daly prevented a similar crime when an attempt was Iirade to place the Santa Rita prop erty in New Mex'co in the Anaigam- ated Copper Co. on the basis Of g. 0O0,OOO.
 The Santa Rita property was uur- chased in the 1899 copper boom by Burrage and Lawson from the Bouaa- "a Development Co. of Boston for sl- i25.900 IT. H. Broughton, II IL Rogers and other AmalgamaAed lnsid- CTS were largely interested in this purchase and it was made primarily fer the Amalgamated Copper Co. but Marcus Daly alone prevented it's ac- quisition-
 The result is that the Santa Rita property still remains in the posses sion of Messrs. Broughton. Rogers and Burrage, and possibly Lawson, but the property is of small value It possesses large low grade copper deposit. which Iii ght be worked at a profit later an expenditure of several millions of dollars in development and equipment. but on the other hand fl , $ questioned if the property would re turn such large expenditure. Tn consequence it has been a non-pro- ducer except when copper sold at 25 cents per pound, and it was then able to snip sufficient product, largely ob. tsflned through leasors, and pay a small dividend, the first and only ono E.

COPPER WAS SLIGHTLY OFF
 IN MARKET
LeSsened Demand for Stocks. Graf Thinks That Superior & Pittsburg Good Buy At the Present Quotation.
tBy Frank J. Graf)

The opening of today's market was about the same as the closing of tho day before, with no particular news to encourage traders in the least To ward the close, however, trading was very active and stocks were bought at any price ranging from one to three points above the opening, and closing at the high mark for the day. The copper market opened with a very poor demand for stock and the metal n London closed of, and during the day the metal was inclined to be weah at home. This. however. did not par ticularly cause any weakness in the copper shares. although it lessened the demand somewhat Greene Can anea. as well as Superior & PittsbuTg, was traded in very light, due to the fact that little stock Is being offered Personally l believe Superior & Pits burg ought to be bought at this level. Shsttuck and Denn are holding well.

SANTA ROSAl|A
 HAS GGOD ORE
Engineer Miner Says Outlook Fine For Good Mine-False
 Reports Circulated.

A res,ort was current on the street yesterday to the effect that here had been rn explosion at the Santa Rosalia mine, but no one could ina any reliable statement to this effect ". L. Edwards. of the c Q. hotel. one of the heavy stockholders in this prop erty. was seen regarding the matter, and said that any such statement wa. all new to him. ,I received tele- gram this morning right from the mine" said Edwards, and the very best reports come in that have thus far been reported from the mine. Of course t..so5e may have been some ac- cident there of which I have no knowledge, as this is something which may or may not happen in any mining property. ] do not understand that they are using any explosives there whatever but have been using their pumps"
 Engineer Miner. of the firm of Miner & Hart. in speaking of the Santa Rosalia to a Review representa- live, spoke very leneouragingly of the future of the property. He said: There Is every reason to believe that the property will make good. as they have fine ore, some of which is of a very high grade They have been working with the old machinery which they have on the property unwaterins the shafts. They have been delayed on account of not being able to run their machinery continually, but have made good progress, and l understood that they were to have the mine free from water by this time, wh eh will give them better chances for working than they have had in the past. I lock upon this property as being prom ising and it gives evidence Of being enc of the good producers.

SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1893.

The passing within the span OF
one day of two fathers in Israel
like VIM. X. Stubblefield and Thomas
Terry gives us pause to stop and
consider Their long and useful lives.
Both had passed by several years
the four-score milestone. Mr.. Terry
was not so well known here, coming
in his extreme old age, but he mad
spent his long life in noble work,
and was a man Of prominence In an
Eastern state. "Uncle Billy Stub
blesield, as he was familiarly called
was a pioneer of this county, yet
was what is usually considered an
old man when he came here quar-
p If a century ago. But possessed
OF a magnificent physique, he did
more of the hard, pioneering WORK

at 80 years was driving the stage
through storm and cold to Chico'
never missing trip and never re-
ported late. And before he came
here he had done more work thah
the ordinary man does In a IRE
time The following tribute was
paid Mr.. stubblefiald in the La
Grande Observer by one who knew
him: His moral and physical de'
velopment was all that nature, ana
the highest sense of personal honor
could make It, He belonged to thal
old school of manhood, when every
promise was kept and every duty
performed. He was tender as he
was strong. and simple as he was

without pretense. AS a pioneer ana

well, however, to give a brief outline
of the methods Of prevention here.
Smut is fungous growth-that is, q
low form of plant which lives on other
plants. 1t usually attacks the heads
of small grain, filling the place where
the kernels should be with a black,
worthless mass. The black dust of
which this mass is made up is COM
prised largely of spores, which corre-
spond to seeds of higher plants These
spores become scattered over the seed
in thrashing and storing. In the
spring, when the grain sprouts, the
smut spore terminates also and sends
tiny thread up through the stem to
the head, where it develops into the
familiar smut ball. Often these smut
balls are inside of hull that appears
perfectly sound from the outside, so
that the damage from smut is much
greater than would appear from sim
ply glancing over the field.
Any method of treatment which will
destroy the smut spores on the grain
will prove effective, although the smut
which is scattered in the field some
times infects the plants the next year.
When rotation is practiced, however,
this is seldom the case, as the oat
smut will not attack corn, nor will
corn smut grow ON oats.
The selection of seed corn is even
more important than the selection Of
small grain, since so much less corn
is required to plant an acre. thus per-
mitting of much more careful choice.
The most important point to be consid.
cred in the selection of seed ears is ma.
turity. An ear that is not entirely ma
ture will be light, the kernels will be
loose on the cob and have dull
chaffy appearance, and the germs will
be shrunken and the back of the ker.
nels wrinkled.
Such corn should not be selected for
seed because the amount of food ma.
terial stored in the kernel Is too small
to give the young sprout much of a
start. The germ is also likely to be
weak from being frozen while still in
the immature, watery condition. The
ioNt thut an Sul nOI ripe
indicates, too. that it belongs to a
variety just little late for the local.
ity.
Ears that are not entirely ripe are
not nearly so valuable for seed as
ripper. sounder ones, even If the latter
are not so large. By selecting only
ears of this early maturing type q
strain of corn can soon be developed
which can be depended upon to ripen
in the particular locality in which 1t is
grown.
Since the size of the crop depends
to a considerable extent on the size
, of the ear the seed ears selected
should be as large as is consistent
with early maturity. Mere size OF
ear is not enough, however. The ears
I should be well proportioned and not
too big around for their length, since
ears of this sort are late in maturing
and slow to dry out The size of an
ear should be made up of corn instead
Of cob. This means deep kernels and
relatively small cob.
There must also be the largest pos
sible amount of corn in proportion to

~ NE of the most important fac
n E tors In crop production is the
selection of seed. This is i'm
portant not only in producing
a large yield, but also In obtaining a
product of the highest quality.
The use of the tanning mill as a
means of sorting out the heaviest,
plumpest grains was spoken of in the
previous article. The Importance Of
this means of seed selection cannot be
too greatly emphasized.
One of the principal reasons for Sc
lecting the largest grains for seed Is
that they contain so much more food
for the young plant. This enables it
70 make strong, vigorous start
,uch plants have more vitality. grow
faster and produce larger yields than
plants from shriveled seeds, which
have struggle for existence from
the time they germinate. Another
reason for selecting plump seed Is
that the resulting crop is likely to be
Of better quality and will thus bring
higher price when sold The old
law of ''like produces like" applies to
plants as well as to animals. One Of
the surest ways Of bringing about i'm
provement is by using parents of the
desired type year after year.
Selecting seed according to size by
screening out the small grains is not

the cob. To secure this the ear should
be well filed out at butt and tip and
fairly uniform in size from end to end.
The kernels should be so firm on the
ear that it cannot be twisted in the
hands. There should be no spaces
between the kernels next to the cob,
nor should the spaces between the
tops of the kernels be too great They
should not be packed together too
tightly at this latter point, however,
as this hinders rapid drying out. The
rows should, be straight and the ker-
nels of uniform size.
In starting out to select ears of the
desired type the work can be done
much more quickly II the corn is laid
out on table or bench. Then by
taking an ear for sample which
most nearly represents your ideal you
can go over the entire lot and quick
ly pick out the ears that are most

uniform type Is an important one.

grower hope to make Improvement

breeding corn to secure increased
yield win be taken up In detail In the
