PROPER CARE OF THE NAILS
Adequate Attention Necessary for
the Woman Who Would Have
Her Hands Beautiful.

n hErTY nails are considered a
great beauty. At the base there
should be a white crescent. and
the nails should be as rosy as
The dawn. Beautiful nails are
compared by the poets to onyx. and,
In fact, in Greek onyx means nail. Ac.
cording to the NEUROLOGICAL legend:
"One day Love, finding Venus asleep,
cut her nails with the iron point of
his arrow and flew on The clippings
fell on the sands of the shore, and as
nothing which comes from the body of
an immortal can perish. the Fates
carefully gathered them up and
changed them into the quasi.precious
stones which are called onyx"
The art of manicuring' was origi-
mated by Stitts, who was Louis Phil
ippe's pedicure. His descendants are
still famous in France. and the Sits
method, which totally condemns the
use of steel either under or around
the nail, undoubtedly Is the proper
and scientific one. Madame Sits says:
AN orangewood stick with little
French amadine will keep the nails
perfectly smooth and clean under.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Feb. %.
-On Monday of last week the local
market advanced 10 to 15 cents, owing
to short supply and good demand
Later, however, the eastern markets
reported sharp declines and all the ad-
vance was lost and prices were at the
close anywhere from 10 to Is cents
lower than the preceding week. Re-
ceipts were fair and all sold Good
steers brought $3.50 to $3.50, with
choice stuff at s5.65. A bunch of fan
cy heifers sold at $5.1O on Monday.
but most of the good cows went at
$500 to $3.50 later In the week. with
fancy COWS at $4.75. Bulls were lit
tie lower at $3.50 to $3.25 for bulk.
Veals sold mostly at $500 to $3.50 for
light weights. Good feeders and stock

were slow. Good to choice steers
brought $500 to $3.50 and fair to good
at $3.50 to $500. with light stuff down

been on the river markets during the
past week declare cattle prices are
higher here than anywhere else, and a
comparison of quotations at the diff
ferent points will prove to shippers
that this statement is true.
Hog demand was good and prices
have been relatively higher here than
at the river markets all week. The
supply was very good but more could
have been used to advantage. Bulk
Of the hogs sold on Saturday at 5000
to $500
Sheep trade was very good and
prices closed about steady. Good fat
ewes sold at $40. wethers at $40

Local prices are fully in line with
eastern quotations.

COMPARISON OF THE WORK DONE
BY THE TWO STYLES OF
IMPLEMENTS.
where EACH IS BEST
MoLDeoARo BETTER IN HUMID
SECTIONS AND LANDS THAT
ARE IRRIGATED.

In the news notes OF the Colorado
Agricultural College II. NJ. Bainer
writes as follows:
snail buy disc or moldboard
plow? is 4 question frequently asked
by the farmer. The conditions under
which the plow is expected to operate
must help answer 1t.
All farmers are acquainted with
the moldboard plow and know how
to operate 1t to the best advantage.
The disc plow. on the other hand is
. newer invention. and has not been
used so extensively. 1t is harder to
operate successfully, and for that
reason has not given the general sat
isfaction which should be obtained.
The use for the disc plow, however. is
gradually growing. and In few years
1t will have almost as large place.
especially In the western states. as
the moldboard plow.
Under similar conditions. the disc
plow is of lighter draft, but this diff
ference is not so much as is often
claimed by the manufacturers. Roll.
Ing friction makes It pull somewhat
easier than sliding friction. Because
of the rolling motion OF the disc and
Its cutting effect. 1t is not so likely to
clog as the moldboard plow. What
the disc cannot cut II will roll over.
The disc is capable OF plowing
ground that has become too dry and
hard for the moldboard plow. This
is oftentimes Of much value. as It is
not necessary to wait for rain. and
the seed can be planted at the proper
time.
For humid sections and irrigated
lands. the moldboard plow must he
considered superior. Under favorable
conditions for plowing. where the soil
is not too dry. the moldboard plow
pulverizes and turns the soil more
satisfactorily. II also handles sod to
better advantage.
To do the same amount OF work,
the disc plow will require very little
sharpening compared TO the mold
board plow. This makes the running
expenses OF the disc very much less
than that OF a moldboard.
The disc should not he Of too large
diameter. A 24.inch disc for general
use is to be preferred TO one OF larger
diameter The 2i.inch disc will pull
verize the soil more than a rs or so
inch one. The draft is n trifle more
on the smaller one, but the difference
Is more than made up by the class OF
work It Is able TO do.
The disc should not cut too wide
furrow. II is far better TO use two
discs "a inches In diameter. each one
cutting s inches In width, than to use
30.lnch disc cutting II or i6 inches
in width. Taking narrow furrow
tends to make tie bottom less CORFU
gated.
Flowing the same ground year after
year with the disc does not keep II In
as good condition as II plowed with a
moldboard plow.
The moldboard plow is generally
considered best for humid and irri-
gated sections. and the disc for dry or
semi.arld sections

T. J. RYAN GROUND TO
 DEAF HUNDER WHEELS
SFrom Thursdays Darlv'

T. J. Ryan, who left Prescott last Saturday, met with a frightful aeci- dent on Sunday, near Ash Fork, be- ing literally ground to pieces on the Santa Fe, while stealing a ride.
 The accident occurred at Pinevita, to the west of Ash Fork. Ryan left this city, intending to go to Cali fornia, where position had been offered him, his vocation being that of cook.
 When the body was picked up the only identification that could be had of the remains was by a postal card addressed to him from Utica, N. Y. This was not deemed conclusive evi- dence until later it was learned from Prescott that other printedN matter was carried on his person given by friend here ..--.
 The body was mangled beyond rec ognition, both arms and legs being torn off, while his head was smash ed to jelly. After the accident DOT tions of the body were found seat tered around for many feet, and these were inferred in a small box.
 MT. Ryan had been resident of this section for over three years, being a cook at several mining camps and at Jerome. He had been in the territory for over twelve years, and at the outbreak of the Spanish American war enlisted in the army, going to San Francisco. He was sent to the Philippines, serving three years, and was mustered out at Manila. He remained there for a few months, coming to Prescott af- terward. He was a pensioner of the government.
 His relatives reside in Utica, N. r., where he has a sister and father living. He is said to have car ried insurance in favor of his sister, the policy being among his effects left in this city. ,'iai:
 He was about 35 years of tige' and. unmarried.

CLAIMS EAST OF HUM
 BoLDT TO BE WORKED
(From Friday's Dailyl

(From Fridays Daily)
 Beginning about September 1st the Yavapai Metals Mining and Milling company will commence operations "n their claims east of Humboldt. This company has lately been incorpor- ated by Messrs. R. B. Staniland, G. B. McGarvey, F. W. Hatch and T.. O. Pritehard. The groups they own are known as the Copper Jacket and San Juan. In the former are four claims and in the latter two, and in forming a corporation the men be- hind the syndicate state that the work done is supported by an ex- cellent outlook. Several people Tn this city are desirous of becoming identified with the new company in the capacity of stockholders.
 An important feature associated with this company's holdings is the desirability of the product for flux- ing purposes, and located as the claims are, within six miles of Hum boldt. this commodity of the yield will be of material consideration when the smelter at that point re- sumes work. Two shafts are sunk on the claims and in each the iron ore is readily seen. Assays from a thirty-seven foot shaft give s in gold and S3 in silver, while from an other shaft a copper value of 10 per cent is carried in a thirty-ineh vein. The owners state that it is an at tractive looking prospect, and many who have inspected the ground be- lieve that it is a proposition of merit Mir. MeGarvey, one of the members of the company, says that the iron runs as high as 50 per cent.
 The camp is well situated for water purposes and is in close touch with transportation facilities. The inten- tion of, the company is to give the ground thorough development and they believe it will terminate profit ably for all interested.

THE GLADSTONE MINE.

The news which came from McCabe yesterday to the effect that the Glad stone mine was to be taken over and operated by the Ideal Mining company, was warmly received in Prescott, for it is certain that the readjustment will revert to the mani fold advantage of all concerned.
 During the past history of the Gladstone and the MeCabe, the pro duet has aggregated over a million dollars. and with the installation of new machinery and other contem- plated improvements the brightest days of the splendid property are yet to come.
 All this bOdes well for Prescott, whose future is more certainly cut in the records of prosperity with each recurring news item of this character told through the columns of the Jour nal Miner. It is the pleasure of this paper to encourage every legitimate mining enterprise. and it's ambition to present the most complete and accurate review of the mining ac' tivities of the territory. -s..:i z>t

LABOR DAY IN PRESCOTT.

Labor Day comes as near being a national holiday as any celebrated throughout the United States. It has grown from a small observance by a few organizations to be one of the most important of our "days off, ,' and one fraught with a very real significance in what it stands for.
 The fact that Prescott is to be in line this year with celebration is hailed with satisfaction in every quarter, and the interest with which the prospective program is being re- ceived presages a day of unusual en- joyment.
 The railroads have made special rates and a large crowd will be here from other places. Prescott always has her 'best foot forward" and the hospitality of former occasions will be duplicated on even larger scale in September.
 The Labor Day celebration is a good thing for all concerned, and the gentlemen in charge of the arrange ments are fully entitled to all the an cOuragement they are receiving.

EIGHTEEN COPPER :. COMPANIES PAY
 HEAVILY Arizona Mines Stand First in List Of
 Dividends

Eighteen copper mining companies of America have paid in dividends during the first six months of the present year, ss,OS7,9s4, and since or ganization have returned to their stockholders the enormous total of $26s, ,216,31l. This is a return of 33S per cent on the total issued capital izatiOn of $50, ,731 1895.
 An Arizona property, the United Verde, heads the list as a dividend payer during the first half of 1909, with the sum of $1,35O,00O.
 The Arizona Copper company of Clifton ranks second for the same period with a disbursement of ST. 1S9,915, the Anaeonda, of Montana, surpassing it by only $11,OOO.
 Of the above companies, the United Verde, the splendid producer of Yav- apai county, has paid since it's or ganization, S22, ,s97 ,OOO, or a return of 757 per cent on the outstanding s3,OOO,OOO capital.
 Anaeonda, owned by the Amalga- mated, has paid since its organiza- tion in 1895. the sum of $42, 2,3OOOOO, return of HI per cent on its issued capitalization of $3O,OOO,OOO.
 Arizona Copper has returned to its stockholders during its career $l2,- 57O,572.
 Copper Queen, the great Phelps Dodge property, located at Bisbee, has never made known its profits, but it has been estimated that this property has paid to its owners something in the neighborhood of s5O,OOO, and probably much more. During the past ten years the Copper Queen has produced 4s6,64s,7s6 pounds of cop per. The average price received for the red metal during that period has been 15.9 cents a pound. The cost of producing at this mine in that time has been 7.5 cents a pound, leaving profit of approximately 8 cents pound. These figures show that Copper Queen has paid in dividends the past decade somewhere around s3s, ,932, ,OOO, and it must be remem- bered that the property has been producing copper for eighteen years prior to this period.

Idylwild is now anchored on the map of Yavapsi county, and prom ises to be most attractive suburb an retreat. That it is already esteem ed an ideal place for recreation and comfort was evidenced at Phoenix, last Friday, when its 400 acres were thrown open to the public. ..

It i: the belief of those interested that the proposition is a "snap," and several trades have been made since the first transaction was recorded.
 Phoenix buyers were the early birds and went into the enterprise stronger than any, other city. The big boulders, the shady pines, the mile-high elevation, the soil that lieks up the rain, as fast as it falls and the exhilirating ozone, caught the Phoenieian, and he absorbed the bulk of the land.
