SEVEN TROUGHS
BULLION SOLD
President R. ]. Evans Gets
Nearly $4,000 for Bars
From U. S. Assay Office.

A few days ago the local United States
assay office received a consignment of
gold-silver bullion from the Seven
Troughs Mining company. The bars rep
resented the run of 40 tons of ore from
the dump of the companys Fairview mine,
or, rather, ore three-fourths Of which
came from the dump and the balance from
mine workings. Yesterday President r. J.
Evans pulled down check for 81, 2S5. "a
for the bars that had been received and
assayed. There is still a small consign-
ment Of bullion to come as a result of
the final cleanup and when that is set
tied for MIR. Evans expects the total to be
raised to $4,000 OF better.
If that mill run does not impress any
body with the character of the Seven
TFoughS company 5 property. it ought to.
When it is possible to scrape up more
than 100 tons of ore that has been thrown
over mine dump, add carload from the
mine workings and then recover $4,000
from it in d weeks run of a small mill
like that on the kindergarten property
it means something. 1t is not the pur
pose here to attempt odious comparisons
with Utah properties, but if anybody
knows of a company operating in this
state and the stock in which is going beg
ging at 15c to lie a share, that can make
such an exhibit, it is time to hear from 1t.
There is noaquestiOn but that the ore
mentioned CANE from the Seven Troughs
companys owl workings in it's Fairview
claim No one would have loaned the
company that much ore, nor would any
body thought of permitting the company
to go into other mines to get it, much as
some of the knockers on the proposition
would rejoice in having somebody believe
such nonsense.
Through this test run on Fairview ore
the Seven Troughs company has demon
strated that it has the real goods in its
property a property that Is now opened
at depth which should be conclusive evil
dence 1t IS d permanent. real mine,
mine worth several times as much as
some Of the propositions that sell several
times as high are worth

HAS FINE GYPSUM BEDS
DOWN IN SEWER COUNTY

Down near the little town of Venice in
SEWER county, and within d couple OF miles
of the Ssnpete ami Sewer branch of the
Rio Grande railroad, c. W. Cowley and a
few associates have what is pronounced
to be one of the finest gypsum deposits in
this or any other county. The owners are
now planning the organization of the Ala
baStine Gypsum company, and in the ncIr
future il is the intention to begin mining
the product ami manufacturing plaster of
paris on an extensive scale.
Local capital IS planning to join the
owners of the property in the building of
mills, an aerial tramway over which to
convey the product down to the splendid
millsite that has already. been selected.
to help in getting the railroad to build a
spur to the works and otherwise putting
the proposition into commercial shape
One of the owners of the property is
now in the city and he is being given a
most respectful nearing by men who have
q knowledge of The value of the deposit
and by some VINO have much use for
plaster. The deposit is said to be more
than 100 feet in thickness and of a purity
that challenges comparison anywhere.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.

Never in the history of the stock ex-
change were as many different stocks
traded in during one day as the record
for yesterday shows. During the morning
regular board call twenty-nine different
stocks found customers. In the afternoon
it was one better, or thirty. The unlisted
class added three more. The market did
not open as strong as the double holiday
recess ought to have made it, and the
close was even weaker than the opening.
Silver King Coalition was stronger than
it has been for some time, while Ohio Cop

A mining capitalist, who represents in

by the Wall Street Journal as saying;
In my opinion. Thomas f. Cole and
John d. Ryan have plans in view which
will result in time in an amalgamation Of
mining and smelling companies patterned
after the United States steel corporation.
There is probably no industry in the
United States which is more susceptible

dominate the situation.

THE FARMERS EXPERIENCE MEETING

largely by the suicidal and rulnous
one-crop system-by attemptiis -
grow money crops to the neSiece oe "
> living at home. The buying OF
fertilizers Ion time has been one
great cause of poverty Q nthe laTih'
and yet it is astonishing how many So
called well-to-do armer persist III
buying commercial fertilizer every
year on time. The difference between
the credit and cash price is ABOUT Io
per cent. The fertilizer account runs
only about six months. Ten per cent
six months is equivalent to 20 per cent
per annum. The best business estap-
lishment in the world couldn't exist
and pay 20 per cent interest on money
and vet hat is what the farmer does
when he buys commercial fertlllzerS
on time. Farmers Union men are
learning better and are leaving on
that kind of folly. If you can't pay
cash for fertilizers by all means let
the Fertilizers alone. Twenty per cent
will wreck and ruin any business ana
it will ruin the farmer. You may not
be able to come to a cash system I'M
mediately, but if you will quit plant
ing so much cotton Con tobacco( and
go to farming, you a get to the cash
system in one year. The farmer who
goesin debt for supplies is a slave.
He can never know what lndepend-
ence means until he quits 1t. A real
farmer ought to be ashamed to buy
supplies at the stores EVENT. he pays
cash. If he buys supplies on time he
has a double reason to be ashamed
Of himself. If you are a Farmers
Union man brave up and act the part
Of a grown man. Get out of debt and
stay out Of debt, and make your ilV1ng
at home. Then you'll know what the
word independence means.

-CREAMERIES IN GEORGIA.

To the Editor: Do we OF Nirth Car
olina want to follow Georgia i'll the
matter of building creameries? Wait
just a minute, let us stop and con
ing and Manufacturing Company,
which is now working in this State.
built eight creameries in Georgia. OF
this number the following have
closed up: Madison, Ga, established
November, 1908, closed March II,
Ca, built July, 1908, sold at auction
June s, 1909, but was closed four
months prior to sale: Americas
Creamery Co, Americas Ga. built
October, 1908. closed August, 1909.
Cedar Town Creamery, Cedar Town,
Ga, built in June. 1903, paid ex-
penses one month then ran behind
until it got $1,7OO in debt. The other
creameries established have been only
partially successful. At some Of these
plants only one man supplied the milk.
The above is not a very flatterlng rec
ord, is it?
In working up these creameries, the
promoter has led the farmer to believe
that a creamery can be run with
much fewer cows than is really neces-
airy by telling him hat the average
COW will produce two gallons of milk
per day and make a pound Of butter
per day, neither of which is true. The
NoACc "" NAC AAA NtNA
States, according to Farmers Bulletin
$40, United States Department of
Agriculture. produces 3,O36 pounds
(353 gallons) Of milk per year and
makes TO pounds of butter per year.
This is less h a gallon of milk and
less than one-half a pound of butter
per day. It, therefore, takes about
twice as many cows to support a
creamery as the promoter would have
you believe.
Do not jump into this creamery bus
mess until you have made more of a
study Of it and do not take any one
mans word for it, but write to several
parties whose business it is to be post
ed on such matters. I would suggest

ORGANIZERS MEETING
GREENSBORO DEC. 14TH.

n organizing work in North Caro-
lima this year has been carried for
ward with gratifying results. At the
beginning of the year We had 459
charted Local Unions in the State. We
now nave nearly 900 chartered Locals.
At the beginning Of the year County
Unions have been chartered in %
counties. In some of these counties
h number of Local Unions has in
creased from fifty to a hundred per
cent since the first OF January and
10 new county organizations have been
set III during the year and some of
these newly organized counties have
already taken a place Well up to the
lead In membership. There are now
. more almost ready for the
county organization. While our growth
has been remarkable, it will be seen
that we have, as vet, covered but little
over haIf the State and there is need
Tor additional organizing work in
many counties that have county or
CARNATIONS established. Therefore. the
organizing work is yet one Of the most
important considerations for the SUI
perV1slon Of our State organization. In
view or the great moun of organiz-
ing work that is Yet to be done. T
hereby call a meeting Of all active
commissioned organizers to convene
az greensboro on the night of Decem-
Der 18th to confer with each other in
a sort OF experience meeting and for
the purpose Of systematizing work.
All commissioned organizers are ex-
oHlc1o delegates to the State meeting
which conveneS at Greensboro De-
cefnber 10th. I am especially anxious
to meet all active organizers in this
meeting the night Of Dec. 14th. It will
be an interesting, instructive and prof
liable meeting n it will help You in
your work after you return to your
fields of labor.
