This week Colonel Thomas Pepper
received a communication from the
east asking him to take the manage
ment of the property and resume OPP

forms us that preliminary arrange
ments for vigorous campaign of de-
velopment are now being rushed and
work will commence about the first
of March. A perpendicular shaft will
be sunk to catch the lodges at depth,
when a system of crosseuts will be
run. Mr.. Pepper is one of the old
pioneers of the Douglass and his
faith in the final success of the
camp has never wavered even in the
darkest days of it's history. The or
der to resume operations on this
property goes to show that money is
becoming easier in the east.

The Douglass property is located in

of Tonopah and through the panic

GIANT SPRINGS NEAR GREAT
FALLS IN NORTH-CEN-
TRIAL MONTANA.

Near the Great Falls of the Mis-
souri, in north-central Montana are
some very large springs which pre-
sent certain unique geologic features
and suggest an interesting problem
as to the source of the water These
springs, known locally as Giant
Springs, were discovered in 1904 by
Captain Lewis, of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, who described
them as the Largest fountain in the
United States
These springs, which are on the
south side of the Missouri river,
about three miles below the town of
Great Falls, Montana, issue through
large joints in medium to coarse
grained sandstone on the bank of the
river at the waters edge and in the
! bed of the river itself. The situa-
ton of the springs make exact meas
urement of their flow very difficult,
but the difference between two meas
urements of the flow of the Missouri
river-one above the other below the
springs-has been assumed to be the
quantity of water furnished to the
river by the springs. According tt
E. T. Nettleton, this amount is ap
proximately 638 cubic feet seconc
the equivalent of more than 400,

PREPARING BILL
TO MAKE mining
STOCK ASSESSABLE
Especial to the Bonanza.)

SPOKANE (Wash.) March 8
The Northwest Mining association,
which has just closed it's fourteenth
annual convention in Spokane, has
appointed a committee composed of
Colonel N. E. Linsley, president; L.
c. Jaquish, vice president, and L. K
Armstrong, secretary, and two attor-
neys, to prepare bill making mining
stock assessable and otherwise regu-
lating the promotion of mining COM
panies. This is the first step in a
lively campaign to be waged against
wildcats" and crooked promoters.
The purpose is to protect those inter-
ested in mining properties and pre-
vent manipulation so far as it is pos
sible. By making stocks assessable
every share in any Washington COM
pany becomes liable to assessment for
cost of operation and gives the COM
panies power to declare forfeited
every share delinquent after certain
date, to be publicly announced il
ewspapers.

 ] Meanwhile the calculations Of east ] ern publications have been growing notwithstanding that the publishing
 business sees few large successes and many failures. Those which have attained great national circulation having become enormously profitable l the stock of the Curtis Publishing Company of Philadelphia not being purchasable and said to pay 50 per cent a year, and the profits cf the
 Munsey publications having reached Ia total Of million dollars a year. The competition of established mag azines of the East has wrecked many
 promising attempts in the western magazine field. those which survived land reached the point of financial suc- cess and enormous circulation being chiefly those of low cost. In their cases magazine publishing has be- come. it is said, amazingly profitable. For example, MT. Curriers' investment of $1,000 has now grown from profits to a $2,500,O00 corporation and the quarters have changed from one room in an office building to two five story structures in which 500 people are employed. Compared. however. . the eastern magazines, such as with 'Mc- Cures, the Cosmopolitan" Every body's," with a combined circulation of 100000, the capitalization of puo- fishing houses in the West still is inconsiderabie, each of the three men- toned magazines being valued at sev- eral million dollars. The Ladies Home Journal, with circulation pat at i,250,0 is popularly known to be held at $15,000,000, and the Munsey Magazines have become a $10,000, 900 property. The big successes of the Vest are growing so fast that new capital is constantly required bat now are earning up to $60o,0o0 year.

There is wide difference in the efficiency of horses in utilizing feed There is an Individuality" in work horses as wall as in other farm an:- mals. Horses that are notably hard to keep in good condition should be replaced by ones that may be main. tained at less cost
 The data presented do not prove that. for use with pure timothy hay, ear-corn is as efficient, pound for pound, as oats. Neither is any evi- dence at hand to indicate that a grain ration made up exclusively of corn is suitable for brood mares with foal or in milk, cr for young. growing horse $.
 When the weights Of the horses for the year previous to the experiment are compared with the weights se- cured during the experiment. 1t is seen that the exclusive use of either corn or oats has not had any bad effect upon the horses. There is no positive proof. however, that a mixed ration would not be more efficient than one made up exclusively Of corn or oats. This experiment does show. nevertheless, that corn $ valuable feed for work horses and should be given q large place in their rationa. whenever market conditions warrant it's use
 Th results obtained thus far in the experiment reported that corn is a2 efficient feed for work horses. The bulk of an amount of ear-corn equal in feeding value to the usual amount of oats is small--so small that casual observation might lead one to believe that too little corn was being used. As regards economy, ear-corn is usually cheaper per pound than oats, while this experiment indicates that ear-corn and oats are worth ap- proximately the same per pound for feeding under the conditions stated previously.

East Is Beaten At
 Magazine Publishing
Big Circulation Has Been Captured by Western Houses During Last De. cade Leaving Boston Behind.

Chicago, March, 6.-The West now has the East beaten at Magazine pub / fishing, according to official figures of the postofIice department which put Chicago in the lead of Boston, once preeminent in the magazine field. To Chicago is accorded the re- cord of 75.0oo.0oo pounds of second class mail matter annually with one single magazine, Woman's World, con- tributing 5.oo0.o0o pounds of the total as iJs monthly mailings ito subscrib- CTS. lts circulation being now larger than that of any other. publication in the United States or in the world.
 The increase of Chicago's second class mailings, which included news papers and trade papers as well as magazines, increased from 1897 for ten years at the rate of 10 per cent a year. The panic cut down the total for 1908 and the practice Of mailing sample copies has been discontinued by most of the publishers The re- cords show that the G56 Chicago pub lications in 1899 mailed 44,000,00o pounds, that the 665 in 1907 mailed 77,ooo,0 900 and the 676 in 1908 mailed 73,000, ,000 pounds. This year will see a total of 75,000,000 or more.
 Twenty years ago eastern cities. particularly New York, Boston and philadelphia held preeminent rank ln the magazine field, but when western magazines entered the field the pup fishers who were most successful adopted original methods and in par ticular they smashed time honored conventions of the East as to sub scription price for magazines ol gen eral circulation.

WHAT IS BEST FEED
 FOR THE WORK HORSE
Reports of Experiments at Ohio Agricultural Station is
 of Value to Horse 0wne rs-Ear Corn Better Than
 Shelled Corn, and Eth CT is Better Than Oats Proved by Tests

Upon the proper feeding will de- penj the proper service of the wo.I, horse. Bulletin No. l95, Ohio arricn1- tural experiment station, gives some valuable data along this line, from which the following are extracts. The 2 deductions are made from tests. The horses used in the experiments were mature geldings, and in addition to the grain fed. as stated, mixed clover and timothy hay was also given.
 The cornfed horses endured hard work during hot weather as well ss did the oats fed horses.
 The use of corn to the exclusion o. other grain for 8 period of forty eight weeks was not detrimental to the health of work horses
 The use of corn for work horse did not induce laziness and lack of endurance. Neither did the use of oats Induce increased spirit with en- durance.
 When mixed (cioyer and timothy, hay was fed to mature geldings at general work. ear corn was practi- cally as efficient, pound for pound, as oats.
 On the basis of the results of this experiment and statistical records Of farm values of grains, corn has. since 1866, been cheaper than oats as grain feed for work horses.
 The drop in weight of the corn fed horses, coincident with the beginning of the use of shelled corn, indicates that ear corn is to be preferred above shelled corn for work horses
 Farm animals should be fed ac- cording to their needs. Their needs depend, of course, upon the product that they yield. Work horses are kept for applying energy, and should be supplied with feeds that will fus- nish the required energy at the least possible cost, all things considered
