'The mill for the Tnoopah Exten-
sion company is now an assured
fact" said John G. Kirchen, general
manager of the Extension and Mont
gomery Shoshone properties, last
evening. Mr.. Kirchen returned yes
terday from trip east, where he had
gone to attend the annual meeting
of the Shoshone, and during his alb
sence was in consultation with the
directors of the Extension
"The Extension directors are now
considering the plans for the mill
and the treatment of the ores and at
present are waiting to hear fronA
other companies in regards to the
erection of a joint mill. However,
if the other mines do not wish to
consolidate in the construction of a
plant, one will be erected by the Ex-
tension. All the necessary plans
have bee nsubmitted to the directors
and before long the orders will be
placed for the machinery. The mill
will be built near the Extension
shaft.
THE plant will not be less than a
thirty-stamp one and will be con-
structed on the lines of every mod

adding to the capacity without in

cording to the best figures obtainable

DRY FARMING
MEETS WITH GREAT
SUCCESS IN TEXAS
Speaker at "Dry Farming Congress"
Relates Success of Farmers in Texas
Who Cultivate Arid Lands.

CHEYENNE (Wyo. Feb. 29-To-
day G. A. Martin, of Ell Paso, Texas,
one of the delegates named by the
governor of that state, spoke on
Dry Farming in West Texas" and
referred incidentally to the progress
of the work not only in west Texas,
but in New Mexico, declaring that
the two were so indisolubly connect
ed that to talk of one meant to dis
cuss the other.
He opened by referring to the
scientific soil culture" of the In
dians or prehistoric periods in his
region as proof that, while the
method is new to the American farm
er, it is probably older in its success
full application in that region than
any other on the continent. He said
in northern Mexico, where the Tara
hramari Indians of the present raise
bcuntiful crops on the tablelands on
a rainfall from nine to fifteen inches,
there are ample evidences that dry
farming" was carried on successfully
by a race of men whose doings his
tory records nothing. The same ap-
plies to the eastern section of New
Mexico, he declared, all along the
line of the present Ell Paso and
Southwestern railroad, where ruins
of ancient pueblos hundreds of miles
from any water save the wells at
moderate depths from which the
stock and households are supplied
show plentiful evidences of farming
CARED on by race of people who
Inhabited the country before the Red
Man came.
Getting down to the subject al

the speaker declared, than was pro-
duced on this dry farm and Mr..
Reeves did not get two drops of rain
until June 2, 1908, and he had less
than eight inches between that and
harvest time, as the Ell Paso weather
bureau Secords will show. The aver
age rainfall for Ell Paso is only 9.S6'
inches for the year, extending back
for twenty-nine years.
The speaker cited many other in
stances of equal success north of Mr.
Reeves around Alamogordo, Tucum-
carl, Tularosa, Santa Rosa and other
the delegates that congress had to

be his inspiration. She would make
him great. He would put on canvas
this impossible ecstatic passion for a
water maiden, an Undine, an angel
from Michigantha lake big as a
sea. And perhaps she would dscome TO
see his pictures.
Angelica came one day. The inn
keepers ''He respects you, signorina," I"
gave the most iatteTing OF safeguards.
In spite of herself she was very proud
of 1t, this respect of dissolute man,
for it separated her. for Giuseppe,
from earth's other women. It was a
distinction to, be valued like all dis
tinctions, according to its rarity.
Giuseppe received her with few
words and much humility. His works
spoke for him. She saw there Madon-
ma eyes and quiet valleys and that
peaceful calm Of evening when God
walked abroad in the garden. Every
where was faith. tinged by sorrow to
a deeper richness, and poetry and in
tuitive comprehension Of those things
beyond that humankind must strive
for, never reaching. A despair of her
own poor reasoning talent seized her.

become almost the standard for this
state and the Dakotas. These wheats
were q cross between the red fife of
the Red River valley, and Haynes
blue stem, which was heavy yielder,
but rather late. The cross proved to
be heavy yielder and an early wheat.
One of the most valuable expert
ments being conducted is in the ex-
termination of quack grass. Quack
grass has been one of the worst pests
farmers have had to deal with in this
country since the days of the grass
hoppers. The experimenters are
sure that it can now be curbed by
su fficient cultivation, and the expert
nents are to determine how deep the
roots must be put under the ground
and how long they must remain COW
cred to prevent sprouting. To do this
more than 100 plants are put in
fiowerpots and then put in the ground
at different depths; these are covered
with ordinary loan and the upper
ground cultivated the same as it would
be in field.
J. During the last two years system
of farmers reports has been institute
ed. The system selects farmers
throughout the state and keeps an ac-
curate account of their expenditures
during the year. This is done by hav-
ing a representative of the station stay
three days of each month with the
farmers and while there weigh and
test all their products. At the end of
the year reports are sent to the farm
ers of all their products and expendi-
lures and the amount which they
should have received for them.
During the last year the experiment
station cost the state only about $20,-
900, while the United States govern
ment paid $32, ZOO, toward its support.
The livestock is more than self-sup-.
porting, while the grains are little
behind the cost of the work.
The work of the station is carried
on in connection with the university
farm, and in this way the students
receive the benefit Of all the expert
ments and can use the field for their
work.
Last year there were 260 farmers
institutes in the state. $50 sessions
and an approximate attendance of
nearly 100000 people. During the en-
tire year the lecturers from the station
are sent out to any meeting of the
farmers on application and all of the
expenses are borne by the expert
ment station.

Looking, she understood the man an(
the strange sweet longing of his coun
tenanee. When he unveiled a sketcf
of herself tears rose with the inten

But the beauty, the exaltatiOn Of it
were such as she had never possessed
And ne believed her like that! He was

window you hung so far above the
line"

to reverent whisper.
The artists face flushed. He was a
creature of emotions too natural to
seek concealment. Without troubling
to separate the woman from the con-
ception he struggled with an explana-
tiOn
"Oh. signorina. the years that | have
longed for you! cannot make words

how you looked at me to lift me out of
sin. You will let me love you? / am
bold to say it, because ask nothing
You are so far away that my love can
not offend more than 1t does the Vir-
gin"
Angelica passed the night with open
eyes examining her happiness. The
letters Of a young attorney in Grand
Rapids had been destroyed. they show
ed so commonplace beside the glory Of
this new passion. Z Giuseppe should
love her, as he willed, and when the
time came that it was not unmaidenly
to yield-in blissful wakefulness she
rehearsed the thousand ways that she
might tell him.
The sittings began. The artist work
ed fever1shly and said little. Angelica
began to find him more complex than
she had thought.
'You are like religion. You make
me sad," he said when asked about
his somberness But the answer dis
pleased Angelica and filed her with
premonitions. Was it only black eyed

smile?
His interest in her personality was
meager, too, for a lover. When she
spoke of Grand Rapids he had mur-
mured
"The rapids-back by the sea where
you live?"
Angelica remarked that she lived far
inland and in pique added a reference
to the attorney whose letters had been
sacrificed

a time you will return. The great

New York, July 19.-An accident te
an excursion boat and drownings at
bathing beaches claimed sixteen peo
pie in New York.
Ten of these lost their lives when
the sloop Roxana overturned in a
squall off Staten Island and sunk and
the rest were victims of cramps and
exhaustion.
The Roxana was chartered by q
party at Brooklyn in the morning for
a sail across the bay to Staten Island
and return. About 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, when the return trip was
being made, sudden squall was en-
countered and before the captain had
chance to adjust his sails the copper
plates of the boat were glistening in
the sun,
The passengers made mad scram-
BILE for the upper rail and this, to-

people into the mad waters Of the

messed the trouble and went to the
rescue, but before they were on the
scene ten people had gone down to-
gether with the boat. The survivors,
thoroughly exhausted, were taken to a
hospital on Staten Island.

III Giuseppe To tourists the inn
keeper pointed him out along
og with the city's curios as the
painter who was to equal Raphael and
revive In Italy the glories Of bygone
centuries.
"His faults?" And for once the inn
keepers rhapsody halted out Of defer.
ence TO the well bred young lady at
the window. "It is true Giuseppe has
faults. But, signorina, what will you
He, is young, and geniuses are not

Margharita, Floria, Beatrice, Frances
ca"-the fingers Of both hands thrown
out and despairing shrug indicated
the inaccuracy of the count-"they all
have spoiled him. But look for your
self. Could you blame them"
Angelica looked. Besides being a
conscientious traveller anxious to miss
nothing, she was painter, too, in her
prim, orderly way and before her Ital-
ian sojourn could boast an occasional
premium at county fair. She had al
ready heard Of Giuseppe at the studio
In Rome, and her interest grew now
that she saw the man. Her trained
glance noted his perfect proportions.
The soft roundness of the figure
matched with the handsome head, in
which, she could swear, no concrete
fact had ever found lodgment. Such
being should be care free, a ward of
ho ot1rro ho intov~opnta1
blue sky and sunshine for a back
ground. His faults-well, who could
rebuke the lightness of a butterfly? :?
And yet in his expression there was
restless hungering that explained the
artist. 1t was a sorrowful look, but
lures. Its dissatisfaction, free from
piaint or protest, had long been sweet
ened into aspiration.
"How cold he would look in a Grand
Rapids winter!' she thought. But
even in Grand Rapids he would still
believe in Italy"
Then she glanced away. Angio.Sax-
on secretiveness hid her interest, for
the great painter. seeing her, had
paused and was staring up enrapt from
the walk below. The rudeness was
unconscious-framed by the window
sash she looked so like picture in an
exhibition. Her clear cut face, all
purity, resembled nothing he had ever
seen in life. Such faces he some.
times dreamed of-after confession. He
loved them as he loved the church,
with it's poetry and mystic symbol
ism. Her gentle coldness, SO differ
ent from Floria, gave her holy seem
ing, and holiness had power to thrill his
soul. like violin's harmonics, as some
thing high and fine, almost past the
sensing. That such a creature must be
beyond all touch Of passion affected
him with ineffable sadness, but to the.
artist sadness holds an element of deep
artistic joy. Her height above him
brought consciousness of his own sin
oppressed mortality. Her eyes wan
dered beyond him in apparent careless
ness.
