Illustration Of how moisture rises
through capillarity upward through
the dry SOIL
When heavy rain falls the greater
part OF the water passes down through
the soil until it reaches a place where
all the openings between the soil par
t1cles are filled with free water. Dur
ing the time between rains the plants
must get their moisture from this sup
ply deep down in the ground.
In order to keep this moisture in
the ground loose, light murch on the
surface is necessary, and this is pro-
duced by shallow cultivation.
The fourth picture shows how mois-
ture is saved by frequent shallow cuI-
ivation.

A determined effort is being made b. several prominent engineers of Mexico to form an organization of the mining and metailurgical experts of the country.
 The Mexican Mining Journal is taS- ing a good deal of interest in the subject. and in an article in its col umns by H. $. Denny the following plea Is made:
 Today there is no recognized body of engineers in the Republic of Mex ice. and no authorized statements coming from the mining engineers as a whole. despite the fact that there are a large number of engineers at work, and much of importance to the engineering world being done. Other countries, as already pointed out. have their consultations in this respect. ana the benefits to the members have been too obvious to require any as- surances, and there is not the slight est doubt in the mind of the writer that it is high time that d similar step was taken here. Because 1t canno, he gainsaid that. judged by its history of output, or its extraordinary distri- tution of mineral deposits, or it's va riety of such deposits, or the richness of its ores, or its natural advantages and facilities for working. or climatic conditions, that the Republic of. Mex ico stands in the very front rank in a comparison with the other mining countries in the world. And where the mining industry in other countries has seen it's zenith. that of this Re public of Mexico is. in relation to i.s

COPPER DEMAND HAS
 IMPROVED LATELY

BOSTON, July 24.-The inquiry fer copper in the past day or two from consuming interests has improved ma terially and is of such character as to lead prominent producers and sell CTS to the belief that buying move ment of large proportions is imminent. To Boston News Bureau representa- tive in New York the sales agent for a concern handling considerably over 1jO 600, 900 pounds of copper a year says. Were it not for the drop in New York Metal Exchange quotations on Wednesday last, We would be en- toying a good business. The lower ing of bid prices by that organization. however. was sufficient to scare pros- pective buyers off for a day or two. indications point. however. to a re, sumption of buying for actual con. sumption by American manufacturers in day or SO"
 The American Smelling & Refining Co. has offered copper at 13 cents, 90 days, delivered at eastern points, while for western shipment 131s cenGs has been quoted. The United Metals Selling Co. is credited with sales at l3Ss cents, which is fractionally above the figures al which other agencies claim they are doing business.

LOGAN & BRYAN SAY.

Special to l.. J. Overlock.)
 NEW YORK. July 24.-The tenden- cy of the market in the early trading was toward higher prices, but was re actionary in the last hour on realiz- ing sales. The bank statement is- sued after the close was about as ax- pected. and there was no news to sc- count for the action of the market. Buying of Rock Island issues wss conducted on a good scale, and New York Central was also in active de nand. An effort was made to put Union Pacific to 200 today, but con siderable pressure was noted around 199 1-2. and it seems apparent that the interests in control of the mar- ket are not in favor of pronounced movement either way at present.
 Metal issues have been active the past week. especially steel which will undoubtedly be affected by the disclos. ures at Tuesdays meeting, and 1t is thought improvement in the copper metal will result in much improve. ment and activity in that quarter.
 It is thought that great many are waiting the settlement of the taIiff schedule, in order to increase their commitments. Trade reports indi- cate the further betterment and as long as the large H~~~ ~~ stock re- main intact purchases on recessions seem advisable.

MUOH0lE MINE IS
 AGAIN UNWATERED

PRESCOTT, July 24.-Reports from Walker state that the work of un- watering the Mudhole mine of the Penn-Arizona Mining company is practically finished. the timbers on the
 500 foot level being visible. This work has been going on steadily for several weeks and was starterd to fla cilitate the work of development that is outlined for the future on gigantic scale. While this unwatering was going on, a new shaft was started at another point on the vein. and this has reached a depth of POO feet. A fine ore body is shown in this development It is said to be the in tention of this company to conect the shafts later on and continue the ex- pioring Of the ground along them The new electric hoist of this company is on the ground and in a few days the placing of it in position will begin.

ALUMINIUM INDUSTRY IS
 EFFECTED BY DEPRESSION

The aluminium industry, like other metal industries, felt and still feels the effect of the depression of 1907. According to an advance chapter Of
 Mineral Resources of the United States. Calendar Yea- l9OS." by w. C. Phelan of the United States Geolog- ical Survey, the amount being used at the beginning of 1909 was no greater than that used in 1906, before exten- sive additions to plant equipment took place.
 Aluminium is widely used. Either pure or in the form of ferroaluminum t Is used in iron and steel works to remove oxygen from the oxides Of iron and other substances and to aid in welding. It is variously applied in the motoT-car industry for making Farts that require both lightness and stiffness. Where strength also is needed it is alloyed with copper. zinc or nickel. As a powder it is used in the manufacture of metallic points 1nd varnishes; il does not tarnish and aids in fireproofing. It is also used to coat tubes either within or without. For domestic purposes its uses are ai- most without limit, ranging from wal '.paper' and paneling to cooking uteu- sis of all kinds.
 Among it's advantages for these pui'- oses are durability and resistance to ccrrosion. Possibly one of the most promising uses is in connection with electric installations.
 A new alloy of magnesium and aluminium. known as magnalium, is said to be lighter than aluminium and as strong and mzlleable as brass.

LEWISSHONS PURCHASE
 GRANITE CLAIMS

BUTTE. Mont. July 24.-It is rum ored here that North Butte has pur- chased the Granite Mountain claim from the Lewissohns The claim lies directly between the Edith May and Jessie claims of North Butte and crosscuts from Edith May to the Jes- sic on the 1900, 140O. 1900 and 1900 foot levels pass through Granite Mountain. They have cut a small vein in the latters ground, but found no ore.
 LewissOhns believed the property to contain good ore and after the big North Butte strikes they began sink ing this shaft and put 1t down 800 feet but then stopped. having become satisfied that the ground was of lit tie value. The ground is useful to North Butte, which is the basis Of the probable purchase.
 North Butte is now engaged in mak- ing connections with the Lewissohn shaft and raising from the three lev els, the intention being to make a sec ond working shaft to be complete down to the 1900 foot level by the first of the year. Connections will also be established with the Badger State shaft of Boston & Montana, prin. cipally for ventilation and safety. The crosscut on the 2200 foot level Is being pushed north to the Jessi. vein and the latter should be reached by the middle of October. The com pany has great hopes of finding the Jessie good at that level, which yould redeem the property or further iniure IL IT the vein proves as disappointing as Edith May.

enormous possibilities, only in its ii- fancy.
 And for other reasons. too. this may be regarded as the psychological mo- ment for the development of the moSe- ment because a new era of scientific achievement has recently been ush- cred into the field, whilst sinultane- ously the low price of silver has made the standing of mining critical throughout the whole country. and it is now that by concerted effort the first named movement can be given an impetus that will enable it to over take the danger and depression caused by the second.
 It is always difficult or even impos- sible to trace the direct influence that such a society as that proposed may have in these directions. but a study of the progress made in other coun- tries can leave no doubt as to the con census of opinion being that benefits are real and We all have much to learn, and most of us are specialists in one direction or another, for the reason that none Of our exper- fences have been exactly on the same plane. and each man can. if he will. throw new light on some of the many problems that are raised that will be of value to the operator.
