So let our Joy at having the prob
lem solved at last swallow up our cha
grin at having guessed wrongly for
SO long a time. We are glad to have
the thing solved at last, and to know
hnally the secret Of successful alfalfa
culture in the South. It is. first. land
not wet; next, land filled with lime:
then manure or fertilizers to make
the land rich; then seed, preferably
ID the fall, in a good seeded. and the
result is certain to be alfalfa. And
how much lime? No one knows that
dennitely as yet. It seems that four
tons Of fresh burned lime to the acre
IS none too much and eight or ten
tons OF ground limestone. But lane
that Is worth nov $25 per acre may
by the application of this lime and
fertilizer be made to yield six crops
or alfalfa hay a year, worth here to
e to the plantation stock at least
SID per ton. Say four tons TO the
acre only. Welding $50, and with no
need of sowing next year. So, little
by little, the problems down here are
being solved. Let me repeat again,
to stop the interminable flow Of ques-
tons: II your field of alfalfa is being
devoured by crab grass, it probably
needs lime, much lime, and also phos-
phorus. With enough lime and phos-
phorus in the soil alfalfa will be free
from crab-grass and weeds. 1 hope
to see the day when a million tons of
lime will be used in a year in this
Southland.-Breeders' Gazette.

THE CORK TREE.
Growth, Stripping and Preparation
of Its Bark.

Growth, Stripping and Preparation
of Its Bark.
The methods in vogue in barking and
harvesting the cork in Spain and Por-
tugal are pretty much the same. The
barking operation IS affected when the
tree has acquired sufficient strength to
withstand the rough handling it re-
ceives during this operation, which
takes place when it has attained the
fifteenth year of its growth. After the
first stripping the tree is left In this
juvenescent state to regenerate, sub
sequent strippings being effected at in.
tervals Of not less than three years,
and under this process the tree will
continue to thrive and bear for upward
of $50 years. If the bark is not re-
moved artifcially, it will on maturity
split and dismantle itself. This Is
caused by the fresh growth Of bark
forming underneath.
The cork of the first barking Is
termed corcho bornio-bornizo, or vir-
gin cork. The cork Of the second strip
ping Is called pelas, or secondary cork.
The work Of removing the bark from
the tree is performed In summer by
men, who are paid at the rate Of
g. Cd. a day. The instruments used
for the work are an ak, a lever and a
handsaw for the cutting of transversal
incisions. The first process through
which the bark passes after stripping
is that Of boiling. This Is sometimes
done in the woods, but more frequent
ly In the cork factory, in large, special
" constructed caldrons. in which the
bark Is left to boil for upward of an
hour. This seething process increases
the thickness and elasticity of the cork
and at the same time the tannin and
other feculent substances generally ex-
listing in the bark are desiccated.-Lon-
don Queen.

TO BUILD M|LLA
BLACKHORsE
AMALGAMATED NEVADA OFF,
GALS READY TO START WORK
GET GOOD RESULTS IN NINE
OPENING RICHER ORE BODY

John ID. Cawley and ID. Austin
Brown, of Boston. directors of the
Amalgamated Nevada Mines & Power
Co. are in the city after having been
to Ely and Blacknorse to arrange for
the building of mill at their COM
panys properties in the Blackhorse
district, says the lntermountain Re-
publican, of Salt Lake. Power and
foundations are TO be provided for
30 stamp mill, although it is the in
tention TO install only ten stamps at
the start. Preliminary arrangements
for this important addition to the
camp have been completed and it is
the intention to have the mill in OPP
Grafton the coming summer. Custom
ores will be taken for treatment to
the extent of such capacity, ii any,
as shall not be needed for the COM
pany's own ores.
The Amalgamated company has
finally been recognized and placed
upon a firm financial foundation, Mr..
Cawley said yesterday. While 1t will
not be possible to develop at once
all of the company's mineral, water
and power resources in the Black
horse and Osceola districts, IL is the
intention TO push the work as rapidly
as may be consistent with safe, busi-
nesslike methods.
The company resumed work last
November in its San Pedro mine. The
tunnel. which the shaft VIII strike
at its 80 foot level, was pushed on
to open the ledge on which etrong
body of gold ore had been opened at
the depth of 6S feet in the shaft
The ledge has been cut by the tunnel,
showing on that level six feet of GRE
that averages $51,20 a ton. This is
a considerable advance over the val
ues of the ore at the bottom of the
shaft. IL confirms the confidence of
the Amalgamated people in perma-
nent mines being made in the Black
horse district and encourages them
in pushing with increased yigor the
work already laid out.
Two leasers who are working por-
tons of the Amalgamated eompany's
placer ground have sunk 10 feet to
bedrock, where exceptionally good
values have been encountered. To
make the mining more economical at
so great depth for placer work a
tunnel is being run TO strike the bot
tom of the shaft. With an abundant
supply of water assured the coming
season the leasers are anticipating
handsome profits from their placer
operations.
As recognized the company in
the hands of strong capitalists of the

INTEREST IN OIL
GROWS
MIR. BERGMAN HAS ASSURANCE
THAT DRILLS WILL BE GOING
IN CAVE VALLEY FIELD At
AN EARLY DATE.

j. s. Bergman, largely interested
in lands on the oil formation in the
Cave valley country, was an arrival
last evening, spending the night in
East Ely.
Mr.. Bernman has lately received
encouraging letters from Los Angeles
oil operators and others concerning
the beginning of work in the Cave
valley region and is now confident
that the spring will see several der
ricks up and drills going in the field.
Some very large interests have
eyes fixed on the new field at the
present time and at least two of the
groups will enter at early date to
give 1t thorough trial. OF results.
Mr.. Bergman and other oil men
whom he has had on the ground are
as near confident as is possible until
the drill has proved the formation
one way or the other. They believe
fully that the showing they have can
not but produce paying wells.
Mr.. Bergman returns to his ranch
today. He expects the arrival there
shortly of several important visitors
who come to look the oil and gas sit
uation over, on the strength of re-
ports which have reached the outside.
In Ely and East Ely last night he
was besieged by those who have
formed interest in the oil possibili-
ties of Cave valley. Not few of
these have rendered substantial sup
port and are anxious to get into the
development game themselves in the

domestic While the volume of do
nestle copper going abroad is small,
there is a steady movement at prices
that yield a good profit, and there is
the certainty that the largest copper
consumers of Europe are circum-
stanced with sufficient business to as
sure increasing copper requirements
well into next autumn. Never before
was there anything like the large de-
gree of work going in copper con-
sumption abroad for naval and army
purposes and the amount of hydro
electric work going on in Europe Is
more than treble the volume under
way at any previous time. Switzer-
land and Bavaria are doing more in
Hydro-electric power than all the
United States and Canada. Domestic
copper markets are abnormally dull,
and stocks are going on accommodating
at record high figures. Prices are
wholly nominal at 13 9s a 13%c for

trolytic. Casting copper is In fair
demand and large supply at 13c TO

Copper producers and consumers
are far apart in their views. \ num-
Der of the producers profess TO be-
lieve that something like a miracle
will occur that will enable .hem TO
sustain prices, or maybe advance
prices. On the other hand are great
producers of wide experience who
say that every sign in the markets
indicates no improvement in this
country so long as the tariff question
is unsettled, and that there Is no like
lihood of an increase in home copper
consumption until we'll into July.
Operators of copper and brass mills
