CHINESE OFFICIALS

DECLARE ARIZONA PROPERTY
FABULOUSLY RICH
Noted Engineer In Party lntlmates
That China Has No Mineral
Ground to Equal Hold
ings Inspected

The Mascot Copper company, operat-
ing rich mines in Cochise county, Ariz.,
is receiving the praise of two CONT
nents through a visit to the mines
few days ago of X. Owyang. Chinese
vice consul at San Francisco, and asso-
ciates, who are now guests at Hotel
Lankershim. In the party that visited
the mines was Ng Poon Chew, adviser
to Hsu Ping Chew, the consul general
at San Francisco, and also managing
editor of the Chung Sal Vat Pc, a
Chinese daily newspaper published at
San Francisco. They have just re-
turned from Arizona.
Mr. Chew is high in praise of the
Mascot Copper companys mines and
voices the opinion of all who have seen
these fabulously rich properties.
"Our visit was purely on private
business" said Mr.. Chew yesterday.
I'VE are interested in the Mascot Cop
per company and visited the mines
in company with DIR. Carl Krone of
Oakland and DR.. Douglas Long Of De-
troit They are also stockholders"
Mr.. Owyang, a graduate of Yale, Is
mining engineer of note and was
once sent by the CnlneSe BoVerlliHeiiI
to the Hu-Han province or central
China to inspect that rich mineral
country. During this trip he discov-
cred several rich mines. Mr.. Owyang
intimated that nowhere had he found
copper property which actually showed
up so we'll as the Mascot.
"The Mascot property in Arizona is
especially f1ne," he said. lone vein,
known as the copper vein, is more than
$500 feet long and from 25O to 300 feet
wide. 1t will take more than life
time to exhaust the deposits in the up
per level. In one tunnel alone we have
cut veins which more than equal the
entire Butte district"
Mr. Owyang expects to return to
San Francisco today. Mr.. Chew will
visit in Los Angeles, where he has
many friends, before returning to the
northern metropolis.

Sustains Conclusion Of Brain
and DIsIocated Shoulder

Thrown from a buggy in which she
and her husband were driving, Mrs.

tanned a conclusion of the brain and a
dislocated left shoulder, in addition to
many bruises.
MIR. and Mrs. Brown drove to Los
Angeles from their San Fernando home
yesterday to bid good by to some
friends who were going to take the
Southern Pacific train. While on Main
street, on their way to the Arcade sta
ton, the horse became frightened and
swerved into the gutter. The sudden
lurch threw Mrs. Brown from the bug
gy. The injured woman was taken to
the receiving hospital, where Drs. Quint
and Chamberlain attended her, after
which she was removed to the Califor-
mia hospital

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WARN ORCHARD GROWERS
Horticultural Body Says Inscriptions
Persons Are disappearing
Authority to Spray

According to the county horticultural
commission, a number of persons have
been going about Los Angeles repre-
senting themselves as authorized by
the commission to spray citrus and
other trees for the purpose of exter-
minating pests, parasites and scales
which tend to destroy the tree.
The commission has sent out warn
ing to property owners and taxpayers
that these agents are misrepresenting
facts and that the only firm in Los An
geles duly authorized by the commits
sion to spray and fumigate trees is the
Stowell Fumigating company.
Furthermore unauthorized firms, in
stead of fumigating the citrus trees
have been spraying them, which neces-
states that the work be done over
again, thus holding up the taxpayers
and causing them to pay twice for the
work which could be properly done the
first time.

DEEP INTEREST
MANIFESTED IN
HERALDCONTEST
FIRST DAY SHOWS PROJECT
WELL CHOSEN
Professional Men and Women Quickly
Take Hold of Plan to Send For
tunate Ones to A. Y. p.
Exposition

TN HE happiest days of all-vacation
days-are drawing near. The
Il mountain tops and ocean breezes
beckon q welcome to the tired worker.
Visions of the play days that were to
come have changed many an other
wise tedious hour into a pleasure.
The memory of these pleasure trips,
the rides and walks by the seaside, So
journs in the fastness of rural solitude,
where the lowing kline, the buzZing
bees and beautiful flowers, made the
few short days an epoch time from
which all things radiated for another
twelvemonth.
So. in deciding upon something suit
able to offer to it's readers, The Her
aid naturally concluded that Vaca-
ton trip would be above all things
else the most acceptable.
The great Alaska ukon-Paciic ex-
position was about to open. 1t was,
therefore, only natural that 1t should
decide that a trip to this, the most
wonderful exposition that had ever
been attempted, would be the best Of
fering a newspaper could make to Its
readers.
Our first contest closed March 20. AS
a result twelve young women school
teachers will visit the exposition as the
guests of The Herald.
So unusual was the interest and so
sincere the expressions of compliment
of the project that 1t was decided to
give others an opportunity to visit the
exposition in the same way.
1t would have been a source of I'M
told pleasure to have made this second
contest free for ALL" but after con-
siderable discussion, the decision was
to limit the contestants to the follow
ing:
Ministers of any denomination.
officers of organized labor.
officers of fraternal organizations.
The successful candidate will secure
this trip not only for himself, but for
his wife, or a friend, as well. Trips
for fourteen are offered.
The first announcement was made in
yesterdays Herald, and already the
interest, which we felt sure would be
manifested. has become a reality.
Many of our readers have expressed
their willingness to assist some friend
in securing this pleasant and profitable
vacation.
Do you want to get your share of
the benefit of this proposition? If so,
cut out the nominating blank found
elsewhere in today's paper, fill in the
name of your minister, some officer of
your lodge or labor organization, and
bring or mail same to The Herald.
In making this nomination you give
to your candidate credit of 100 votes.
After making the nomination begin
saving the vote coupons found in each
days paper, not forgetting the fact
that extra votes are given for the Sc
curing of new subscribers.
The earlier start you make, the bet
ter advantage you will have. Start
TODAY.

Eggs are two-an'-a7h half cents each
At least this is the price which commits
sion men are paying farmers for them
when they arrive from the country. What
the retailers. get for them depends almost
wholly on the disposition OF the retailers.
Just why the market slumped Ii a mat
ter of conjecture. One large shipment of
eggs which arrived on the Omaha market

explained hat the hens on the fafm OF
John II. Hazel had begun to lay since
Mr.. Hazel had painted his hen house and
all his barnyard furniture green.
THE hens thought 1t was spring and
began to lay immediately" explained the
writer to the David Cole company.
This thing Of having whitewashed
fences and chicken houses delays the early
egg crop many weeks, as the hens think
1t Is still winter and refuse to lay. The
whitwashed barn yard furniture Is even
worse than the old weather beaten build
ings. The black fences and sheds look
like fall and certain strains OF cochins
lay in the fall, but most breeds begin 10
lay as soon as things begin TO turn, green
in the spring. Painting the hen houses
green works all right, and Is doubtless
the cause of the egg market slumplng oft

SUIT FOR RUsTIN INSURANCE
Legal steps soon to BE TakeR 20 Re-
cover ThIrty Thousand Dollars
Accident Policies.

Legal steps will be taken within a short
time to secure from the insurance compa-
niles the $780, 900 in accident policies which
Frederick Rustin held.
Since his death nothing has been done
in this matter save the formal films OF
the proofs Of death by Mahoney and Ken
nedy, attorneys for Mrs. Rustin. The for
mer. who is Mrs. Rustin's personal counsel
stated Saturday that a legal effort will be
made to recover the insurance held by Dr.
Rustin. The life insurance companies have
all settled, but the accident corporations
have plainly intimsted' that they will not.
These companies are the Travellers, the
Fidelity and Casualty of New York. the
National Fidelity and the Aetna.
They will make their fight on the ground
that the policies contained a clause voiding
the contract II the death is caused by sui
eide or by intoxication, A legal battle OF
the nature indicated will cause the whole
tragedy TO be discussed and the death OF
the physician debated in all its aspects.
Not even in the trial Of Davis on a murder
charge will the matter have been more
thoroughly threshed over.
Mrs. Rustin and children have gone to
Europe for a year.

The October term of the district court Of

Except for the fact that jury trials will be

HIGHEST BUTTERFAT PRICE
Omaha Pays Farmers Very Near as
Much as the New York
81 Market.

Averaging up the prices paid for butter
fat in the Omaha market for the year Of
1905, the creameries of Omaha have paid
farmers S.Sl cents under the New YORK
price for butter,
in the west for butterfat and has not
varied much during the entire year. occa-
sionally the New York price has been high.
while at the same time there was no demand
on the market for butter. At such times the
price paid for butterfat has been about
4 cents under the New York price for but
ter. Again the demand would be good and
the Omaha market has paid within as
cents OF the price of the finished product
in New York City.
After a thorough Investigation OF the
merits Of opening a regular butter
market" and maintaining q price committee
in Omaha, 1t has about been decided by the
creamery men that such a plan would not
be desirable in Omaha. AS 1t Is at present
the manufacturers OF butter nave nothing
to do with making the price. As Omaha is
the largest butter manufacturing city in
the United States. IL is believed objection
would be made to a price committee meet
ing here and fixing the price Of the pro-
Elgin and New York City have nothing to
do with any one manufacturer. but simply
fix the price and announce II each Tues
day, after considering conditions in the
d~airyinS districts and the supply on the
market OF finished product and probable
demand for the next week.
