RANGERS TO HAVE A
 SCHOOL AT FLAGSTAFF

For the instruction of forest ser vice rangers a school will be opened on September on the Coeonino na- tiOnal forest near Flagstaff.
 Each of the six districts into which the forest service in the west is di- vided has provided for the instrue- tion of rangers, but the school to be established by the Albuquerque of flee is unique in that it is to be loeat- ed in the forest itself.
 The schools in the other districts are held at some university and many of the courses will be given by unl- versity instructors, who conduct such work as does not require familiarity with technical forest matters. In the school on the Coconino, nistrue- tiOn will be given entirely by officers of the forest service.
 While the courses in theoretical forestry are given careful attention, the greatest stress is put upon in struction along practical lines, such as mapping, road and trail making, of flee routine, camp practice and pack ing, and the men will put into actual practice, under field conditions, the theories and principles taught in the lectures.
 The student body of this school will be composed entirely of rangers from the twenty-one national for ests in the southwest Owing to the pressure of work on the national for ests, only forty rangers can be spared this summer. These men will be de- tailed in classes of twenty each, one class during September and one dur ing October. The men will have 10 work extremely hard because of the short time at the disposal of the school and the wide scope of the sub jects to be covered.
 The school will be under canvas, and will serve as an illustration of | ! model camp.

CERRo COLORADO IS
 READY FOR WORK

MORALES, Ariz., Aug. 3. D. A
 Moreno and J. NJ. Fredirieo of
 Santa Ana, Sonora, have just re-
 turned from Uniontown, Pa., where
 they went to attend a stockholders meeting of the Cerro Colorado Min ing company.
 The property of this company is situated some fifty-fve miles south east of the railroad station, Santa Ana, in the Altar district. A large sum has been expended in the devel- Opment of the mine, which is in a deposit of auriferOus feslite. Values are uniformly distributed throughout this material, promising an ore sup ply sufficient to keep the mill in steady operation for many years About $25O,OOO have been expended in constructing hoisting and redue- tion plants. The latter is now ready to crush 25O tons a day, and only await the completion of a pumping plant and pipe line from La Cien- ega.
 It is expected that the gold output from this property will be adding its quota to that of the Altar district not later than September 15.
 While east, MT. Moreno closed contract for the erection of a mill and for extensive and systematic ex- plOitatiOn of La Valedora mine, near Tienega, twenty miles west of Santa Ana. This property has a record of high grade silver gold ore netting MT. Moreno about S5O,OOO. There are thousands of tons of ore lpon the dumps which while too low n grade for shipment, offer a safe margin of profit if worked upon the | ground. It is to avail themselves of | hese ores, and to exploit the vast bodies of old ores in the mine-left | n the selection of shipping ore-that he present company is formed.

MAYER ASSURED OF
 SHELTER FOR LEAD
[Frsm Fridays Dailyo

MAYER, Ariz., Aug. 5.-It is now
 practically certain that a lead smeltel
 will be built in Mayer at an early
 date, assurance to that effect having
 been received by the Mayer Business
 Mems association from the manage
 ment of the Rigby Mining & Reduc
 ton company.
 The announcement that the smelteI
 will be built was made after two
 months correspondence with the as.
 soeiation and estimates made by con.
 servative engineers of the probable output of lead-silver ores of the coun- try tributary to the plant available for purchase with the plant in opera tion.
 It has been decided to erect the first unit of 100 tons daily capacity. The plan eontemplates the installa- tion of other units provided the ore supply justifes the expense after the first one is in operation.
 The smelter will be erected at the north end of the vOlatilization plant. Power will be supplied from the power house of this plant, so that the only machinery to be purchased will be the stack and blower. The company intends to conduct its ex- periments in the present plant as well as operate the lead smelter.
 The erection of the lead shelter will open a market for the lead silver ores of the county that are not rich enough to mine at a profit with the high transportation charges to the Needles and the Fl Paso smelters. Many mines with large bodies of this class of ore are now idle on account of the lack of home market. The resumption of work will follow on a large number of proper -ies.
 It is reported that the Rigby man igement will rely on the Bodie mine for its main ore supply. This mine las large bodies of lead-silver ores llso carrying gold values blocked out, md has a development force now opening the property.
 Properties with promising bodies ores partially developed | Ire numerous in almost every district | If the county. Several promising mes are in the Turkey Creek district, which was a large silver producer be- ore the decline in the price of sil- -er in the early 9O's.

Cotton, Corn and Truck Out

of a Nonagenarian-Personal

Correspondence of The Robesonar
1t has been some time since
this writer attempted to furnish
any news for your columns.
There is not much that we think
will interest your readers. -
There is not much de-
crease in the cotton acre
age in this section. Our
farmers cannot break off from
the old habit of planting cotton,
it seems. There will be some
trucking around here this year
but we think there will be less
than last year. We do not think
there will be a larger acreage
planted in corn this season than
last, but we think our farmers
are planting for larger yields.
There are more corn planters used
this year than ever before, if we
are not mistaken. There may
be some decrease in the cotton
yield on account of the failure of
our farmers to get as much fer
tilizers as they wished. 1t has
been some time since it was stat
ed that you could not buy any G..
S. meal, or potash or KANT.
1t looks now as if there will be
two ginneries here this year.
There has been a stock company
formed that will put in a new
improved outfit for ginning and
baling cotton, we learn.

phenomenal success of the
Church in Antioch was, that
new members were systematical-

consequence, they were rooted

vert became a radiating point.
Thus the darkened heather
