MOgoIIOn District.
This is the greatest district in So
zorro county, and one OF the very best
in the southwest During the year 1909
II was very active, and 1t will do still
more this year.
During the past year a large cyanide
mill went into the district and several
big sales were made, involving millions
of dollars The distance from a rail-
road being about 90 miles has prevented
anything like big boom, but there
has been a steady growth, steady de-
velopment and steady production Of
gold silver and copper.
The year 1910 will see several prop
critics start up as producers, and It is
now probable that before the end OF
the year there will be a railroad build
ing into the district.
This district may be expected to
make a record before the end OF the
year 1910, and with the first coming
OF railroad there will be such a boom
on as has been witnessed for the great
camps OF Nevada and Colorado The
Mogollon district has some OF the rich
est gold mines in the world, according
to the highest authorities.
SylvaDite District.
The year 1909, following the boom

1t has brought about a settlement Of
things into that more systematic eff
fort which results In actual develop
ment. 1t was recognized from the first
that mining in the district would have
to be at some little depth, despite the
sensational finds Of rich ore occurring
on or very near the surface, and dur

the district.
The Germana company has done
much development during the year, and
some shipping, and will probably put
up mill during 1910.
One company constructed a dry con-
contractor and separator during the year
just closed, and will start II up imme-
dlately. Large ore reserves have been
blocked In the companys property and
the mill will have ore for continuous
operation.
The Sherw Williams people, own
ing the great Graphic group, have start.
ed on the construction of a large mil.
for the separation and concentration OF
the lead zinc and lead zinc copper ores
produced by the property, and of which
many hundreds OF thousands of tons
have been blocked out by two or more
years OF steady development. Thou
sands OF tons Of the high grade lead
zinc ores from this property have been
shipped to the works OF the Sherwin-

paint base, the two metals being oxi-
died as one product.
A number OF smaller properties have
been shipping during the year, and
number are steadily at work develop

The year 1910 will undoubtedly be
one OF great prosperity for the entire
district.
NOgaI District.
The Nogal mining district, Of Lincoln
county, did but little during the year
just closed but it has a history OF pro-
duction in the past, and will soon be
with the big producers OF the territory
again, as 1t Is attracting the attention
of outside capital for the development
OF It's most promising properties.
The first discovery Of gold in this
district was about 1865, and about
three years later lode locations were
made but nothing was done except to
take out a little rich ore and do some
placer mining until the sos, when
some sensational discoveries were made,
and for n number of years afterwards
the district produced. The ore changed
materially I'm character with depth and
it is carrying more even values. The
year 1910 will see a great deal Of de-
velopment work done in the district and

This is an old district closed down

assessment work required to hold the

at Sylvanite and other neighboring dis
trlcts caused the mine owners Of the
Hachta district to take more interest,
with the result that the year 1909 was
one of considerable activity in the dis

AS a rule, therefore, while the CORFU
cation method is used by probably rs tC
80 per cent of the farmers handling raw
clay and loamy soils, with better results
than with the flooding method, this lat
ter method can be used on grain crops
on the more sandy soils, and the blow
ing out which is so largely complained
of in the Districts of Southern Idaho
that-are sandy is prevented
Probably. the best conclusion to draw
therefore, is that in the districts where
either the corrugating or flooding meth
cd can be practiced, the corrugating
method is the best but where there is
the advantage of holding the sandy soils
by flooding that method for annual crops
at least is best.
A careful study should therefore be
made as to the character of the soil in
determining which method will insure the
best results in the irrigating of cereal
crops on raw land.
In conclusion therefore, 1T is well to
call particularly to your attention the
wiseness of thorough and careful level
ing of the land, careful selection of seed,
and last, the exercising of thought and
judgement as to the best method adapt
able to the individual tract for handling
its irrigation. Care in all of these will
have lasting effect on the prosperity
of the individual farmer and the state,
as whole, both as to quantity and
quality of grain produced.
