Having secured the impressions and
data necessary for the preparation of
an extensive irrigation article for
Hampton's magazine, Frederick Palm

Palmer arrived in Phoenix Tuesday

Stannard of the reclamation service.
They arrived at the dam in time for
a brief inspection that afternoon. The

the works before the return trip was
begun. On the way back Mr.. Stannard
took the writer by Granite Reef. The
auto reached Phoenix about z o'clock
Wednesday evening.
Engineer Howard S. Reed devoted

VISITED CORONADO;
SAY It LOOKS GOOD
Believe That $50 Feet More Sinking
Will Prove Existence of Vast
Copper Deposit.

Among the local people who have
recently visited La Coronado mine, To-
Gated eighteen miles northeast OF
Florence, are President S. j. Tribolet
of La Coronado Development company;
c. P Finch, NJ L. Vieux and p. Jew
EFT. These gentlemen made a trip to
the mine last Sunday in Mr.. Tribolets
automobile and all returned more firm
~ convinced than ever that the only
l.thing to do is to develop the property
as rapidly as possible, proving beyond
doubt the existence of the big ore
body they feel sure is there.
Mr.. Vieux is particularly enthusiastic
over the manner in which the new ma
chinery is working. Recently at rs
horsepower gasoline hoist, an air
compressor. drill and other machinery
We're installed The drill, says Mr..
Vieux, is doing the work of five men.
He never saw anything work more
smoothly.
Mr. Vieux believes that it will not
be necessary to sink the shaft more
than $50 feet deeper TO prove the ex-
tent Of the ore body. Every Indication
points to the presence of a big copper
deposit Immediately underneath the
workings. The metal-bearing lodges
lie only short distances apart and min
ing men say that there is little doubt
of their coming together below. II

SLAUGHTER OF BIRDS.

Startling figures regarding the
slaughter of birds for the Paris and
AMERICAN FARMERS.
London millinery markets were given
recently to the Selborne society at the
Civil Service Commission theater,
Burlington Gardens, when James
Buckland. spoke on "The Traffic in
Feathers and the Need for Legisla-
ton
Bird Life" said auckland, lis be
ing reduced at an alarming rate by
the traffic in feathers and the killing
in the breeding season, when the
feathers have full luster, smoothness
and elasticity
During 1898, 1,53s,73S egrets were
killed in Venezuela for. their plumes.
and in 1908 the number had fallen to
257,916-the effect of ten years
slaughter. The same thing is hap
pening in every country where the
white heron is found.
There has been growing for the
last ten years a demand in the mill
linery markets for the large white
wings and tail feathers of the Amer
lean jabiru, the largest but one of all
living storks. In London alone 10000
of these quilts are sold annually. The
bird would have been annihilated long
ago, but it scented danger from man
and his fowling piece; but today, in
the Middle Crinoer basin, it's favOrite
feeding ground, it is shot by a soft
nosed bullet from a Mauser rifle, and
thus woman's wish is gratified.
hA a.
weight of other plumage is exported
from Guided Bolivar. Besides being
wasteful of bird life
and terribly cruel, the plume trade is
aggravated by illegal practices. AL
though in 1903 the government of In
dia passed a law prohibiting the ex-
port of the skins and feathers of all
wild birds, the most useful and beau
tiful birds continue to pour into the
London market, being clandestinely
conveyed out of India under fictitious
names and addresses and the cases
falsely declared as containing COW
hair, horse hair or some flimsy silk
material.
THE feather dealer often selects
devious routes by which to send the
contraband goods to London, a route
much favored being Penang If we

italists furnishing the money TO build
this road refused to put up any more
money, because they realized row that
if the road, as an independent line, was
not profitable investment, they could
not consolidate with any one Of the
big systems named, with every one of
which it connects at some point in the
state. Mr.. Carter continued with
what money he had in hand. He now
has about 100 miles of railroad, with
one end at Chickasha on the west and
one at some unknown point in the

ceiver, which position he holds today.
In 1909 Mr.. Carter began campaign
in favor Of his initiated bill to amend
section 9, article 9. Under his amend
ment, a railroad organized under the
laws of any other state would have the
legal right to buy a railroad organized
under the laws of this state, and also
railroads organized under the laws OF
any other state would have the benefit
of the right of eminent domain in this
state A big and expensive campaign
was made in favor of the amendment.
