NO NORMAL SCHOOLS.

The legislature made pretty mess
of the normal schools question. 1t
refused to appropriate anything for
the maintenance of the schools at
Weston and Ashland, just enough to
keep the one at Monmouth going
temporarily, and put the matter up
to the people to say whether one
should be ma a'ntained near Portland
or none at all in this state.
This was cowardly and unfair.
Normal schools are either worthy Of
generous state support or should be
abolished. If worthy, there should
be two such schools, one west OF
the Cascades and one in Eastern
Oregon. The school at Weston from
all we can lea has been a worthy
institution To withdraw support
from Il was treacherous and mean.
The wise men who strutted their
brief month of power at Salem
sauandered on a half dozen useless
objects several times the amount
nece ssary to have kept Weston and
either Ashland or Monmouth open in
working shape.
We hope the people of Eastern
Oregon, who get only the crumbs
from the appropriation largess, will
vote sold against one normal school
and 1t to be located NEAR Portland y

~INCE the condition Of the soil
" has so much to do with the
~ readiness with which the plants
can get food from it one of the
most important problems that confront
the farmer is the proDer preparation of
the ground. The fiji %v<."k of prepara-
tion usually consists of piowing. Plow-
ing the ground pulverizes it to some
extent and buries the weeds and trash
that lnay be on the surface.
Flowing should not lie done when the
soil is too wet. or the first of these
objects will not be accomplished. In
stead Of being pulverized, the slice
turned up by the plow will be packed
together more firmly than ever and
will bake iH5o a nard clod. The rur.
row slice will also turn up cloddy if
the soil is too dry.
good way to tell when field is in
proper condition to be plowed is to
squeeze ball Of the dirt in your hand
II 1t sticks together in pasty mass
you had better let 1t dry few days
longer If it hangs loosely together in
mealy ball the plow can be set to
work at once. Such soil will fall over
the edge Of the moldboard in loose.
crumbly masses. The field will not he
ridged like q washboard, as too many
fields are, but will aptly demonstrate
the truth Of the old saying that "a
field well plowed is half narrowed"
In order to do neat job of plowing
Golfer and a weed hook are necessa.

one disking before sowing and one
afterward will cover them better than
two after sowing. The drill is becom-
ing more popular for sowing oats. and
justly so. 1t places the seed ut an
even depth and covers them all. It
saves seed because 1t places all of 1t
where it has an opportunity to grow
After the oats are drilled or disked In
at least two harrowings should be
given. Even three or four would not
be too many, since this is the last
chance to cultivate the crop.
In some parts Of the corn belt the
practice Of listing corn is followed.
This consists In throwing up large
furrow and planting the corn in the
bottom Of it. In this case there can
be little previous preparation of the
ground unless 1t is to go over 1t once
with the disk. Corn is listed only on
very light soils. which do not puddle
or become cloddy easily. Such soils
need less preparation thnn the heavier
clays and loans.

ACME TUNNEL IS IN $40 FEET

The crosscut on the property
Of the Acme Consolidated Silver
Lead company in the Mullan Sec
ton has now been driven about
$40 feet. A heavy flow of wa
ter is being encountered and the
whole face is heavily mineral
lied. 1t is believed that the
ledge may be broken into at any
time. Already a considerable
amount of tale has been exposed
and assays of this show good val
ues in silver. During the week
a survey of the workings was
made by H. M. Lancaster of this
city. The property is being de-
veloped under a contract let some
time ago to William Letterick.
The property consists of fourteen
claims on which a large amount
of development has been done.
A splendid showing has been
made on the surface and this IS
now being developed at depth.
All through the driving of the
latter part of the tunnel the men
have been in heavily mineralized
matter, encountering some ore at
intervals. The. formation IS
Burke quartzite.

MINERAL SHOWS IN EXCELSIOR

Good progress is being made
with the long crosscut tunnel Of

and a considerable amount of in
terest is being taken in the de-
velopment. The tunnel is a fine
formation of Burke quartzite and
already some specks of galena
and heavily mineralized matter
are beginning to show in the
face. The property has one of
the best surface showings in the
whole of the Burke section and
is being developed under the same
as the Great Yves.

such an excellent showing has
been made.

PHOENIX TUNNEL IN 500 FEET

Good progress is being made
with -Ethe1 prospecting tunnel be-
ing driven on the property Of the
Phoenix Mining company in the
Burke section. The tunnel has
been driven over 500 feet and is
designed to give a depth of about
200 feet on the ledge. This is
the tunnel through which the
ground of the C. & R. company
being exploited.
If the showing made on the
conclusion of this tunnel warrants
it, a long lower tunnel will be
started to give great depth. The
property consists of Is claims,
traversed by the same ledge as
that of tho famous Sunset prop
erty owned by Senator W. A.
Clarke, which. it adjoins. De-
velopment is being done under
the management of Norman
Ebbley of this city, who, with
associates, in Butte, holds con-
trolling interest in the property.

CONTRACT At ADVANCE Mine

A contract for 100 Of work has
been let on the property :of the
Advance Mining company. This
will be a continuation Of the
drift which is now in about 800
feet. At this point the ledge is
being thoroughly explored. 1t is
the intention to keep the mine
under continuous development
throughout the coming summer.
Development is being done under
the management Of Norman Ebb-
ley. The property ..adjoins the
holdings of the Snowtstorm mine
on the west.

copper ore has been exposed
while the general formation is q
hard quartzite. The property
consists of 20 full claims located
in the Lookout section and on
which a large amount Of develop
ment work has already been
done. One car of ore was ship
ped from the mine in the old
days which netted the company a
handsome profit. Development
is being done under the manage
ment of James E. Young.

N|PsIC FORCED TO STOP WORK

Development on the Nipsic
property in the Sunset section
has been forced to cease owing
to the impossibility of getting
in supplies in the present condi-
tion of the ground. 1t is, how
ever, determined to resume again
at once as soon as the weather
will permit.
The management of this COM
pany intends to join with other
properties in that section in the
matter of securing power supp
ly from the Washington Power
company and if this can be done
it is the intention to run the COM
pressor by electricity in future
instead of steam as at present.
On the resumption of develop
ment it is the intention to con-
inue with the driving of the pre-
ent tunnell which is now in about
700 feet. Between 200 and 300
feet will still have to be complet-
ed before the showing made the
upper workings encountered at
depth. The depth gained will be
about 500 feet. The property is
being developed under the man.
agement of Norman Ebbley of
this city and an excellent show
ing Of ore has been made.

MACHINERY FOR CEDAR CREEK

An order for an eight-drill com.
pressor, a Pelton water wheel
and a large amount Of minor ma.
chinery and equipment has been
placed by the management Of the
Cedar Creek Mining company.
The machinery is to be rushed
to Wallace and installed in the
property at once.
The property consists of ten
claims located between Burke
and Murray on Cedar creek.
These claims are traversed by
three distinct lodges on which a
large amount Of development
work has already been done.
In the intermediate tunnel a good
strike of ore was made during
the winter. This is now being
developed by means of a long
lower tunnel designed to give
great depth. A considerable
amount of work has been done on
this tunnel by hand but it is
the intention to rush the work
to completion during the present
summer if possible. The trea-
sury is in good shape to meet all
development and equipment re-
quirements for some time to
come.
