With the splendid strides in the
plant and the constant Increase in
permanent operating forces, which
means steady growth in h already
grand pay roll, McGill is growing in
all other ways. Her business enter
prises are hourishing and her work
ing population improving steadily in
character as the permanent jobs are
more and more settled into by per-
manent men of families, who have
the preference.
Concentrator and smeltermen from
all over the world who come in here
and look around are unanimous in
declaration that there is no smelt-
ing camp which has as proud a record
of speedy success to its credit and
none that has a brighter future. 1t
is generally conceded that to work
the ore of Nevada CONSOLE
dated and Cumberland Ely the great
est smelling plant in the world will
be required and there is no question
but that all the facilities are here for
such a plant and that it will come
about just as speedily as possible.
So that McGill is getting along

September, although that company
has had the advantage of consider
ably longer life. Beside equaling the
tonnage, the more important point
to the stakeholder will be continued
by Steptoe Valley Smelling & Mining
of it's record fer lower cost produc-
ton of copper from the ores of Ne
vada Con. than Utah Copper has been
able to obtain in the treatment of its
ores. This despite the fact that a
year ago the predictions were general
that Nevada Con, would not be able
to equal Utah Copper in low cost of
production. Nevertheless, Nevada
Con. copper has been costing less
than seven cents, while Utah Copper
officials in the east have lately been
talking of hope of getting their cost
under 9 cents a trif1e for September.
McGill is making splendid progress
in it's reduction works and all hands
connected Herewith are deserving of
credit, for it is harmony and unity OF
purpose which has made the splendid
record the McGill works enjoys in
having exceeded original expectations
in amount of work they might handle

The month nov nearing its close
gives every promise of proving a most
notable one for McGill and the great
smelling industry of which it is the
home.
During the month the Nevada Con-
s%olidated will ship to the concentra-
tor here for reduction in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 tons Of ore. The
present indications are that this ton
mage will be worked up clean by the
great mill and its highest record es-
t%ablished, or rather the record of a
little gain in amount of ore crushed
each month since the mill started, a
little over a year ago, will be contiun-
ed,
Also the excellent record in the
same respect that has been maintain
ed in the smelling division will also
be continued. Besides which with a
new reverberatory coming in and the
fourth converter stand going, McGill
can with reason look complacently to
the biggest record in smelling in the
next month that it has ever had.
The output of copper for the
present month will probably top s.
100000 pounds a little. This will be
e~qualing and probably lettering a

e Great Performances of Preceding Months

Herewith is a view of the smelling
plant of the Steptoe Valley Smelling
& Mining from which may be gained
an excellent idea of their general
location on the ground and some idea
fOrds for ideal operations of this
class. The big stack at the rear
towers $50 feet high and is that of
the reverberatOries, which stand in
front. The stack to the left is that
Of the McDOugall rOasters. The lower
building to the left is that of the con-
verters. On the right of the big stack
next to the hill, rears the roof of the
power house. The three other build
ings appearing r h machine shop,
supply department house and the
boiler shop, the latter being first i'm
view. The plants are so arranged n S
to enable the most economical opera
ton and convenience possible. They
are i'm direct rail communication with
the c~oncentratOr, from where the
concentrates are delivered to roasters
and reverberatcries. From the time
the ores are lifted from the ground
until the finished product i'm blister
copper is delivered on the converter
platform, handling is practically all
automatic, dump cars and conveyOr
belts doing the greater part of this
work. The ingenuity which has been
brought to c has e very great
and that it has beef successful is at
tested in the remarkable low cost
which has been attained i'm the maxi
ing of copper.

Livingston, N. Jacob Foos, a
farmer of this place. is seeking a gold
cure for his chickens. Thirty Ply
come inebriates.

even the young chicks. The roosters
went about the yard Growing in hic-

hoarse, cultural tones.
Foos was puzzled and he called in

wrong. Then he examined the bar

the whiskey barrel. which had been
in a damp cellar all winter, had been
affected by the sun, which brought the
alcohol out of the wood. The hen that
picked at the wood first must have
communicated the secret to the other
fowl. and all became visitors to the
barnyard "speak-easy."
Foos thought an easy solution of
the difficulty would be to burn the
whiskey barrel. This he did, but the
craving for drink had become too
strong in the chickens. An old roost-
er, with the instinct of a confirmed
topper, found his way to on improvised
siio where Foos kept a supply of malt
which he buys from a brewery to feed
his cattle. This proved a substitute
for the whisky barrel. and soon all the
chickens were clustered about the
silo, devouring the malt. Foos has
shut the chickens off from their new
form of dissipation, but fears that un-
less he breaks them OF the habit they
will wander off the farm in quest of
strong drink.

BEETLES IN BIRDS NESTS.
New Region for the ETorts Of Bug
Collectors,

In the EntomoIiEists' Monthly Mag.
azine MIR N. II. JOY indicates an ap
parently little explored region for
rare" beetles. Having last year OBJ
tanned various species looked upon as
rare by collectors in birds nests. Mr..
JOY was led to doubt the genuine rar.
ity Of these species. lie further con
cluded that II the nests of our familiar
birds and mamals were carefully
searched many species of beetle might
cease to be labeled rare in the records
OF entomology. Mr. Joy has put his
theory to the test. and finds that
birds nests are productive OF many
rare and interesting beetles. And in
searching the nests of smaller British
manuals this enthusiastic collector has
been even more successful. Is 1t not
even possible that when such situa
tions are more carefully and exhaus
lively searched new species OF beetle
may reward the collector?

Perhaps some of your readers would

found a simple. inexpensive way to
waterproof matches.
Into some melted paraffin (care be-
ing taken that 1t was as cool as pos.
sible) ] dipped few ordinary par.
lor matches. After Withdrawing them
and allowing them to cool 1t was
found that they scratched almost as
easily as before being coated with the
wax. Several were held under water
for six or seven hours and all of them
lighted as easily as before immersion.
When the match Is scratched the
parafline IL first rubbed off and the
match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips. as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing Is required to
light them than the ordinary match,
