EISEN ATTACHES PROPERTY
OF THE MAYFLOWER CONS.

A. c. Eisen this afternoon in the
district court brought suit against the
Mayfower Bullfrog Consolidated Min
ing company for an aggregate of $50,
319.69, alleged to be due on notes al.
legged to have been paid in behalf of
the defendant company and monies ad-
vanced at the solicitation of the mining
corporation. An attachment for the
amount in question was issued az
against the property of the Mayflower-
Bullfrog, George Wingfeld and Richard
Colburn qualifying as sureties.
The complaint in detailing the al
legged obligations of the mining com.
pany to plaintiff states in the first in
stance that on October /, 1909, the
John S. Cook loaned the defendant
company $3,305 on sixty-day promis-
sorry note. This note at the request of
the defendant company, as alleged,
Eisen endorsed with the understanding
that he would be reimbursed if he was
compelled to satisfy the same. In turn,
on January of this year he met the
note at the demand of the bank. In
terest to the amount of $99.05 is

H. A. MORRISON TAKES
Sub LEASE ON DAISY

II. A. Morrison and his associates in
the Morrison lease on the Daisy, have
taken a sub lease from the Golden
Daisy Leasing company on the Daisy,
and will continue development of the
Golden Daisy ground. The Golden
Daisy Leasing company has suspend
ed operations. Although it took out con-
siderable pay ore during the summer,
it became necessary to open considera-
BILE new ground, and the expense entail
ed by this work was estimated by
some of the members of the company
to be in excess of what they wished to
put into the lease. The sub-lease vii,

rison.

charged as an additional amount. 1t IS
avered that the plaintiff has NOT been
reimbursed
The complaint further sets forth that
heretofore and before January ), 1910,
the defendant became indebted to the
ohm s. Cook bank in the sum of $26,
539.31, the payment of which was
guaranteed by the plaintiff and because
of such guarantee he was forced to
meet the obligation on the 9Th of this
month.
AS an additional cause of action it is
set forth that prior to December 81,
1909, at the request of the defendant
company, the plaintiff loaned to such
company B2l, ,741.33, which loan, though
demand has been made, has not been
satisfied. $4,000 is fixed upon in the
action as reasonable attorneys fee.
w. H. Bryant is the attorney for the
plaintiff.
In the absence from Goldfeld of the
plaintiff, T. w. Prosser, entered
sworn statement in the attachment un-

allegations.

not split limbs over two inches in
diameter, but put in what are called
bark CRAFTS. If the limb is as much
as four inches in diameter we put in
four CRAFTS and let them all remain
one or two years when we cut out all
but one. The reason for putting in
so many CRAFTS is that the whole
wound will heal much quicker and
better. The bark CRAFTS are shaved to
a thin point and then showed down
between the bark and the wood. We
first slit the bark before we shove the
graft in. All the wounds must be
thoroughly waxed. 1t is best to wind
soft string around the stock so as to
hold the gratis in position. There is
practically no difference between
budding and grating. Our best in
formed horticulturists treat both
budding and grating under the one
head of "graftage. - See L. H. Bail

there is this difference between bud

to young spr outs. Sprouts growing
up from the stump of an old tree will
be all right for top working unless the
old stump rots back into the ground
and causes a defective root system.
Some horticulturists in top working
old trees, do part of the work one
year and then in one or two years fla
ish the job. By experience we have
found it best to select from three to
five limbs to be top grated and then
leave all the remainder of the top for
one year when the limbs are cut out
and the wounds painted. In selecting
the limbs to be grated we have an eye
to the shape of the tree after the re-
mainder of the top is cut out. With
out doing this your tree may be lop-
sided OF other wise ill shaped Friend
Scott always has valuable suggestions
to make and we are glad to hear from

these nitrates are not formed in the
air but in the ground.
A small amount of ammonia is to
be found in the air and some comes
down in rain and snow. Ammonia
is produced from the nitrogen of the
air by the processes of putrefaction of
animal and vegetable substances, dur
ing vinous fermentation and the COM
bustion of coal, also by respiration.
Now it may appear that as ammonia
falls with rain and snow then the air
furnishes valuable element OF fer
tilization. The amount in the air is
very small, being equal to one volume
of ammonia in %, 600, 900 of air. But
here we meet with an important fact
bearing on the question at issue, and
that is, that 1t is of no practical value
to plants till it first passes through
the soil and is converted into nitrates
by combining with some one of the
metallic bases in the soil. On this
point let me again quote the scientific
work of Percival, "Argicultural Bot
any," On page 766 Percival says:
"The ammoniacal fermentation OF
urea is OF great Importance, for the
latter substance, although it contains
nitrogen, is of no use as source OF
this element for the nutrition OF green
plants; the ammonium carbonate pro-
duced is however useful IN itself III
slight degree, and readily undergoes
oxidation in the process of nltrlt1ca-
tion in the ground being thereby
transformed into nitrates. from which
compounds green plants easily obtain
all the nitrogen they need" Thus 1T
can be seen that whatever elements of
fertility my be in the air they must
first go into the ground and be com
bined with the metals there, except
in the case of carbon and that goes
into the circulation Of the sap through
the leaves. The function Of water
then is to pick up the elements OF
fertility in the ground and carry them
into the plant and up to the leaves
where they meet the carbon and are
transformed into carbohydrates under
the influence of light and Eeat.
Whether this water falls in the form
of rain or runs along in ditch makes
not particle of difference. The wat
er is the spoon out of which the plant
takes it's food. From necessity l have
been compelled TO condense my reply
to friend Hamilton's question and for
that reason l may not be fully under
stood. From my own viewpoint 1t is
perfectly clear to me that 'water is
water'' and will perform its function
regardless of it's source.
