LOSS OF S7,s75, 900 ANNUALLY.
Cattle Ticks Lessen the Yield Both
- of Reef and Milk.

Cattle Ticks Lessen the Yield Both
~ of Reef and Milk.
MA cattle tick that has reached the
engorged stage weighs about five
grains, and about 1 1900 such ticks
weigh q pound. AS cattle in the tick
region often carry many thousands
of these blood-sucking parasites, and
as each tick, during the period of its
attachment to an animal, draws con-
siderably more than its own weight
In blood, it can be seen that these
ticks constitute an enormous drain
on the cattle which they infest. This
accounts for the fact that under such
conditions 1t Is impossible to fatten
cattle even on rich pasture and with
an abundance of feed. A large part
of the nourishment that should go
toward producing beef and milk is
consumed by the ticks. In addition
to the loss Of blood and nourishment
there Is the never-ceasing irritation
caused by the ticks, SO that the ex-
istence of the infested cattle Is beset
with continuous suffering, and this
Of course also tends to keep them in
poor condition.
The shrinEago In the milk pro-
duction OF cow harboring many
ticks will average one quart a day,
and the loss occasioned thereby, at
cents a quart, for the $4,000 ticky
dairy cattle out Of more than 4,OOO,-
600 below the quarantine line, would
amount to 26,250 a day. Counting
800 milking days for each COW to the

cause $7,875,000 per annum.

Killed II Desperate Negro.

At Yorkville, last Wednesday, Tru-
man Turner, a liveryman, shot and
killed Whitman Harley, colored. a
noted desperado, who had a record as
a criminal, having killed one man and
slot several others. The trouble
arose about Harley hiring team
from Turner. The negro was talking
insulting and ran his hand into his
pocket, and Turner, knowing the
desperate nature of the man with
whom he had to deal, shot and killed
him. Public sentiment generally
regards the shooting as iustifiable.

VERIFY COTTON is KING.
One Hundred and Twenty Millions
will Come to South Carolina.

According to the census report on
cotton ginned, the crop OF 1909 is
estimoted as not over eleven million
bales. This means an inevitable in
crease in the price, but even at the
present prices this short crop means
tremendous wealth to the South. The
South will receive for its cotton this
year over one billion dollars.
or this amount over one hundred
and twenty million dollars will come
TO South Carolina.
A bale of cotton this year is worth
about one hundred dollars. A 500
pound bale at 14& cents will bring
$73.75 for the lint alone. The seed
at $26 ton, brings the proceeds of
the bale up to almost 500. Hence
the eleven million bale crop, at these
figures, means a return of one billion
one hundred million dollars to the
South. a@E
Up to November IA, as reported to
the census bureau, there had been
ginned in South Carolina 913,4O7
bales, and this is estimated TO be
IS per cent of the crop. If this be
true, and there is yet 25 per cent Of
the crop to be ginned, South Carroll
mas yield will be 1,217,S76 bales,
for which the money returns will be
$121.7S7,6O0. "
The market value of the 1909 crop
IS practically three times what it was
three years ago.
And, too, according to the census
Of 1905 the value OF South Carolina s
cotton crop this year exceeds the to-
tai amount invested in all manufac-
turing Industries in ;his. State.
Verify cotton IS king. One hum
dred and twenty millions of dollars!
How many new dresses, new suits,
new wagons, improved farming i'm
plements, greater comforts at hone,
will this amount mean? College ed
ucations, better public schools, more
churches. 1t is great day for the
South, and a greater day for South
Carolina in particular In truth was

linians the Thanksgiving Proclama-

BRANCHvILLE's PHOSPHATE.
State Geoi7Eist Declares Deposits
Rich-,SlIould Yield Tons.

State Geologist Earle Sloan, of Co
lumbia, has been in Branchville the
past week, looking further into the
bed of phosphate rock near that
town. Last winter while digging a
well on the lands of Mrs. NJ. y. Muir
ray, workmen discovered deposit
of geological specimens and rocks
that were curiously examined by
many. The deposits were found to
be phosphate, but nothing was done
to determine the real worth OF the
bed. Now the geologist has made q
thorough inspection of the land
around where this find was made
He finds that under the surface
about ten feet that there is great
ped of this deposit, which he declares
Eis good phosphate. 1t is very rich
and will produce, it is estimated, at
least 1000 tons per acre, possibly a
great deal more; all of it being very
close to the surface. 1t is not known
yet how far the deposits extend, but
1t is most probable that they cover
a considerable portion Of the land.
]. j. Hutto owns the land where
the richest find of this rock is situ-
ated, just outside the town limits.
Mr.. Sloan stated, when asked as to
the probability of working this find,
that in the course Of five or ten years
1t could be worked very profitably
and would be a source of much reve-
nue. to the parties owning the land
and to the town of Branchville as
we'll.
Fertilizer mills could be erected
at Branchville and the farmers could
get their fertilizing material at first
cost without having to have it shipped
to them. No doubt there will be es-
tablished there in the near future a
plant for the manufacture Of this
product.
There is an abundance of this rock
in Florida that can be manufactured
at very little cost. This, however, is
not expected to last a great while
longer, and then, in all probability,
the deposit at Branchville will be
Worked advantageously. This may
Amean great thing for that town in
the near future.

WASATCH UTAH
FINDS RICH ORE
FauIted Vein Opened in Five
Places With Uniform
Results.
ONE DRIFT OF 600 FEET
MANAGEMENT is CONFIDENT 1T
HAS PAYING MINE.

Displaying a huge sample OF hand
some ore which assays show carries
values of $40 in gold and per cent
copper, A. w. Nieman, general man
ager of the Wasatch Utah Mining COM
pany, yesterday provided what would
appear to be abundant proof that his
company, after enduring almost heart
breaking vicissitudes, has finally
opened a mine in its property near the
mouth of Little Cottonwood canyon
The faulted vein, which in broken
ground penetrated by the old work
ings, yielded rich ore-when il could
be fOund-has been opened in new ter
rit0ry in the company's New state
property, where there is more than
1000 feet of virgin ground on its
strike; 1t has been opened on five lev
els. with 600 feet of drifting on one
level, and Mr. Nieman says that II is
in place and that at no point pros
peCted does 1T carry less than six inches
of ore which yields values of 500 a
ton and better.
The levels on which the vein has
been opened are the tunnel level and
so, feet, so feet, 135 feet and zoe feet
below the tunnel level, while the vein
has just been struck at the depth of
$50 feet from the surface.
In another place in the property, Mr..
Nieman says, has been opened body
of pure quartz, from four feet TO eight
of So a ton in gold. This quartz, on
account of its being in demand for
converter lining, will be treated with
out charge for smelling.
Little has been heard from the Wa
satch Utah company since last year,
when it encountered what was be-
leved to be the extension of the faulted
vein, which was abandoned on account
of its having apparently pinched out.
Following that, much prospecting was
done without result. until Z. Z. Price,
formerly of the Tampa mine took the
SUPPLEMENTARY Of the property. He
went back to the vein which il was
believed had "pinched" and, drifting
upon the fault plane. he has found it
in place and yielding rich ore Wher-
ever he has opened it.
The mine at this time. Mr.. Price
says, is in position to produce enough
ore to pay all expenses of operation,
new ground is opened he expects to
achieve much greater results.

OPEN BIG LODE
IN IRON COUNTY
May Be Source of Veins in the
Bullion and Chloride
Canyons.

Believing that he has discovered, high
in the Antelope range of mountains, the
mother lode which is the source of the
ore carried by the various veins which
have been uncovered in Bullion and Chic
ride canyons in Iron county, j. z. Rick
ard, with associates. is about to incorpo-
rate the Standard Consolidated Mining
company to take over and develop a
group OF twenty claims which cover the
strike of the great lode for distance Of
several thousand feet.
The vein is 194 feet between walls, says
a We'll known mining engineer who eX-
amined the property, and it presents the
most remarkable surface showing that he
has seen. 1t is a fissured zone Of lime
with a quartZite contact on one side and
pOrphyry contact on the other side.
Leached and weathered as ii is, the out
crop gives values Of from per cent to SS
per cent lead; from 3 per cent to per
cent copper, and from 81 to 50 ton in
gold, with all conditions favoring the en-
cOunteTing of massive bodies of rich ore
at depth. In one place is a width OF eight
feet of ore which averages 80 per cent
copper, with good silver and gold values.
Even the galena carries gold.
The strike OF the ledge is north and
south, with the range, and its surface,
Wei concealed by heavy timber, is above
the heads of Bullion and Chloride can
yOns.
The new company is capitalized for
100000 shares, par value % cents a share.
Only 100000 shares will be issued in pay
ment for the twenty claims and appur-
tenanCes, the remaining 100000 shares be-
ing treasury stock. The promotion stock
is TO be pooled and the treasury stock
will be handled by the R. & S. Promo
ton company of this city. Arrangements
have been made to start at once an ex-
tensive campaign of development. The Of
ficers of the company are; J. w. Will

YOSEMITE HAS
EARLY STRIKE
New Company Receivers the
FauIted Ore Body in Old
Cluster Group.

The Yosemite Mines company, which
recently started operations following the
consolidation Of several Old-time lead pro
ducers of Bingham, has just scored an
important strike in the picking up of the
faulted vein in its Cluster group.
The Cluster group was opened in the
early days by a tunnel 1850 feet long
sent in from Bingham canyon. The last
$50 feet of the tunnel was in ore, from
which large production was made from
above the tunnel level. The face of the
tunnel had run against a fault A cross
cut was started in search of the ore, but
It had been extended only a few feet
when operations were tied up by litiga-
ton which finally resulted in the recent
consolidation.
Work was resumed a few days ago in
the old crOss-cut and it was extended on
only about ten feet from the drift when
the ore body was encountered. The drift
Will now be extended on the strike of
the vein, which is carrying three feet
of good ore. y winze is also to be sunk
in the tunnel to get under the old ore
body.

APPROVES WEBER THEORY.
Successful Engineer Declares ii
Refreshing Departure.

That practical mining engineers of
Utah are not inclined to turn down new
ideas simply because they are new is
indicated by the manner in which they
are receiving Professor Weber's theory
that the ore beds on the COlOradO-SiOIX
zone follow the dip of the synclinal fold
east and southeast. The superintend-
ent of the Uncle Sam and May Day
mines, who has demonstrated his abili-
ty to find ore bodies in the Godiva
formation. writes as follows:
Eureka. Oct. S-Herald- Republican:
Kindly allow me to congratulate you
upon having the able article from Pro-
fesSOr Weber relative to the Colorado
Sioux ore body. The article has caused
considerable comment among the min
ing fraternity of this camp, and gener-
ally speaking il has been well received,
pretty much all of the mining men
agreeing with his theories.
The most refreshing thing about il
IS that. while other experts have had
the ore in this vein stop at certain real
or imaginary CrOss-breaks, while others
have had the ore turning in snake-like
channels. lodging real and imaginary
corners, this real expert comes along
and sizes the situation up exactly as il
is, giving US hopes for at least three
more big mines along this belt, namely,
the Crown Point, East Crown Point and
Tintic Central Very probably after
these mines are opened up more will fol-
low, for there is no reason to think
that this wonderful ore body will stop
within certain lines because the mining
claims happen to have been located with
definite boundary lines. And I believe
this is the first article I have seen by
any of the experts that would lead any
one to hope that ore on this same belt
might be opened up by other properties
than those in which the ore is at the
present time exposed. Very truly yours,
