PROGRESS AT RIO
PLATA MEXICAN MINE

d. w Shanks, general manager of the
Rio Plata Mining company. came 10 New
York this week from the companys prop
erty In the Arteaga district of Chihun
hua. Mexico. Mr. Shanks reported that
work was being kept UP at the usual
rapid pace, and that the August produc
ton would be about equal to that OF
July.
1--WE have run about 1900 feet OF tun-
nels in the mine since the first of Janu-
ary, he said. land the vein OF silver ore
continues unbroken. We find that VIC
can treat profitably ore that has seven
teen ounces of silver to the ton. Alto
eether. there is not any other mine be-
Ing operated under similar conditions in
Mexico where the cost Of operation Is so
low as at the Rio Plata.
"a new tube mill has recently been in
stalled at the cost OF about $4,000. There
Is always some scarcity OF labor In the
planting and garnering seasons when
part of the workers leave the mine 10
devote themselves to their agricultural
pursuits This crippled us TO a slight cx-
TENT recently but the men have begun TO
come back now, and we have a full
ioree. ! have received word that 81 bars
or bullion total OF 5S. 900 ounces have
just been shipped TO Chihuahua
despite our great distance from the
railroad, and the consequent necessity of
using mules exclusively, the transporta-
tion Of the bullion and concentrates
across the mountains continues to go
smoothly. The mine is So miles from
the nearest railroad station, Sanchez on
The Kansas City. Mexico G. Oriental rail

MANY SUBJECTS
FOR DISCUSSION
Mining Congress Arranges for
Most Important Session
of Its History.
CONSERVATION THE
MAIN THING DUE
Prominent Men Heading the
Various Committees of
Importance.

The thirteenth annual session of Tn
American Mining congress will he hci'
in the city Of Los Angeles. Cal. Septem
her 26 10 October ]. inclusive, 1910.
Unusual interest ccnIcrs In the minin;
congress this year, arising principally
from its effective and successful fight fo
tho creation OF bureau Of mines, which
was formally established on July /. Thi:
demonstration OF ability TO cope witt
problems affecting the mining industry
has brought To the organization increa sec
strength and the more liberal support oI
rhe mining congress will probably he, ir
many respects, better than any 81 fal
held.
The work OF the mining congress in
wolves much more than the discussions
at Its annual sessions. An important
part Of its working machinery is its
dozen or more committees. each OF which
is appointed for the investigation OF some
particular problem. This work Is done
during the time intervening between ses-
sions.
During the past twelve months COM
mittecs from the mining congress nave
been giving their attention TO some uucs-
lions Of vital importance 10 the mining
industry. These committees Will report
TO the Los Angeles meeting and their
reports will he submitted to the convcn
ton for its discussion and ratification.
These committees With the namo OF

the paramount topic of the eighteenth
annual convention of the Washington

For the last three years the price OF
butter has been steadily advancing,

cattle so that each COW shall produce
more butter.

BEST WESTSIDE APPLES

G.. G. McCallom, Chico, Kitsap Co., /.
WASH, writes as follows: Twill you
kindly let me know what variety of
late apples you would recommend
growing here for the Seattle market.
NY ranch is situated on the east shore
of Wild Cat lake. Trees will be set
on land sloping to the west and north
west. Also do you think there would
be any money in Logan berries? 1t
is three miles from here to Chico and
it takes about three hours by boat
from there to Seattle"
My Judgment is that the King, very
commonly called King of Thompkins
County, would be one apple to grow
there This apple does better on
Puget Sound than it does in my
orchards east of the Cascade range.
The King is an apple of high quality,
it is large, bears we'll and sells we'll.
The Northern Spy is another apple
that does we'll IN the Sound country.
1t is slow in coming into bearing but
once it attains it's bearing age, it is
a prolific bearer. 1t is high in quality
and will pay To wait something like
ten years for this superb apple to
come into bearing is very trying but
once it reaches the bearing age 1t is
a valuable asset. [ would plant the
Hubbardston, very commonly called
Hubbardston s Nonsuch. 1t is one of
the apples very we'll adapted to the
Sound country. [ would plant the
Yellow Belle flower. | have seen as
fine specimens of this variety raised
on the Sound as ever [ have seen any
where. 1 would recommend the GRAY
enstein as a good and profitable apple
for Kitsap county, or for any other
part of the country west of the Cas-
cades. The Gravenstein is classe0 as
fall apple and with us east of the
mountains that is it's season but on
the west side it keeps we'll into the
winter. 1t is as fine cooking apple
as can be found. | would certainly
include it in my list if we're situated

MORE ROOM NEEDED

 ''The attention of the public is constant Iy Icing called to needed reforms in man a agement of our public institutions, and the demands for enlargement and improve ment in courthouses postoffices and jails are very properly urged.
 "Bnt Il problem which grows more trou- blesome every day is what to do with the sick or injured negro in our midst. There are many indigents who are refused ao inittance to our charitable institutions be- cause of lack of room. At the same time, 1t is also a fact that adequate facilities are lacking for caring for the sick or in- jureJ negro who can and will pay for Il he'd There are thousands of deserving sick among the negroes whose employers would gladly give them the benefit of hospital treatment. both for humanitarian and economic reasons, but this is impos- sible because of the present overcrowded condition of the negro department in our hospitals.
 At St. Vincents hospital there are 20 beds for negroes. and it is no uncommon thing to have 35 patients to care for. This means that they must occupy cots or i'm provised beds in aisles. on Verandas, and when the weather allows. on the lawn.
 s1he space devoted to white patients is, under ordinary conditions, barely suffi- cient, and in time of unusual sickness or emergencies arising from accidents, Is nopelessly inadequate.

UNUSUAL CASE OF
 CRUELTY TO ANIMAL

Iverson Irby, negro drayman, was fined yesterday by Judge McNally in the recorders court on charge of cruelty to animals. The trial of the negro brought out an amusing story.
 A few days ago there was an automo- bile accident at Second avenue and Seventh street. north, in which a horse was badly cut up. The owner of the animal decided that it was useless to try to cure the horse and called for Humane Officer Greedy to kill it.
 About this time Irby happened on the ,'scene and seeing the condition of the horse asked the man to give it to him as he thought that he could cure it. The man gave him the horse and Officer Greely's trip was useless.
 Later in the day Officer Greedy saw 1rby with the horse hitched to a coal wagon He promptly arrested him on charge of cruelty to animals His fine followed
