Tin Output at Gertie

Hill City-Within the mex few

will be producing at a profit tin in
a new 100-ton mill which has a shat
500 feet deep and the vein of ore IS
about nine feet thick. The ore will
average about two per cent tin which
Is equal to about So per tor at the

Peak Tin company which attempted to
mine the tin in this district twenty
years ago and made a failure because
Of mismanagement, has been reorgan-
ized and is now known az the Pahasa
mining company. 1t is now doing ex-
tensive development work on several
old properties in this vicinity and re-
duction plants will be built this SIM

THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP
Daylight and Darkness and the Power
of Sight Regulate the Hours
Of Rest.

If We are to believe an eminent
British scientist We should, were it
always daytime" never sleep. In his
opinion there is no particular reason
why we, or any of the other animals,
should rest, on an average, eight or
nine hours a day.
That period of rest, we are assured.
has been determined by the fact that
eight hours Is the average period
wherein there is a lack of sufficient
light to enable us to move about and
have our being In comfort.
1t further appears that the most
fundamental distinction between day
and night Is wholly relative to the
sense Of sight. 1t affects only those
types of life which have developed
eyes. Plants being dependent for
their growth upon the action of rays
Of sunlight that fall upon their leaves.
have a wide distinction between dav
and night functions. They eat and
digest in the light and grow during
the hours of darkness.
The lower forms of animal life-the
sightless inhabitants of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl about necessarily, seeking prev
by the sense of touch alone. When
they rest, we are told, it is at irregular
intervals. In other words, they have
no distinct p%eriodicity Of their own.
But 500 as eyes are developed. and In
proportion to this development. ami.
mails begin to divide their times into
two main portions, a waking and a
sleeping time. While there is light
they perform all motive functions.
when darkness comes they retire to
nest or lair to rest.

GERMANY AND
CANADIAN WHEAT
LOOKS TO THE CANADIAN WEST
FOR HER SUPPLY.

A dispatch from Winnipeg. Manito-
ba. dated March IS, 1910 y That
Germany is anxious to secure a share
or ahadla wheat to supply her i'm
ports of that cereal" The recent ad-
1ustment Of the trade relations with
Germany has made it possible to carry
on a Canadian-German trade with
much fewer restrictions than in the
past, and considerable development
OF trade between the two Countries
is now certain. The great men OF
the United States are alive to the
Wheat situation in this Country now,
and there is consequently the deepest
interest in every feature that will
tend to increase and conserve the
wheat supply. With its present ESQ.,.
100000 bushel production of wheat
and all efforts to increase it almost
unavailing, and the rapidly growing
consumption of it's increasing popula-
ton, there is certainly the greatest
reason for the anxiety as to where the
wheat is to come from that will feed
the nation. The United States will
be forced as Germany is to look to
the Wheatields of Canada. One
province alone raised last year me
eighth as much as the entire produc-
ton Of the United States, and but Q
twelfth Of the wheat area has yet been
touched. The Americans who have
gone to Canada, are to-day reaping
the benefit Of the demand for Canadi-
an wheat and they will continue to
join in the benefits thus reached for
q great many years. Splendid yields
are reported from the farms of that
Country, and from land that the Gov.
eminent gives away in 100 acre
blocks. and from other lands that
AVE been purchased at from $12 to

THE FARMER IS WORRIED
He Dare not Shoot the Birds that are
Eating the Tender Shoots of
Grain and Menace His
Growing Crop

Fairfax-All through this section OF
South Dakota the grouse, or prairie
chickens, threaten to become a pest
which the farmers are unaGle to get
rid of, simply because the birds have
the protection of the state law.
Some years age the South Dakota
legislature enacted a law that still has
two years to run 1t provides a line
Of S. for the possession of each ard
every grouse, dead or alive, rega!d-
less OF how this possession may hale
come about. Over in Nebraska, a f W
miles to the south, there is a law that
protects these birds during certain
months of the year and there is also
an open season when it is legal to Kill
up to a certain number.
A year ago last fall when the o~en
season was on in Nebraska. the
grouse seemed to understand the stu
alton, and within a week after shoot
ing commenced, they commenced to

ties. along the southern boundar yof
South Dakota. Last fall, when the
Nebraska law removed its protection,
there was another exodus of the birds,
thousands Of them coming, and in
stead Of returning south, they have
remained here, seeming to under
stand that they are perfectly safe. SO
tame have they become on the farms
about here that they feed with the
domestic fowls and when driven OF,
fly a short distance, only to return
after the farmer has turned his back
upon them.
This spring they are doing much
damage in the fields, eating Of the
tender shoots of the wheat and oats
as o o as they appear aIOVe the s r
face. Alfalfa seems to BE- their favor

ten miles of here, they have destroyed
what promised to Re a fine crop. John
Wilson, living eight miles west OF

been eaten close to the ground. Re
states that at times during the early
part Of the present month he has seen
dozens of 1ocks in his alfalfa and that
in some of them there were as many
as 1000 birds. Henry Ramsey. an
other farmer in the same vicinity,
