SOME TROUBLESOME INSECTS

The San Jose scale which came near
destroying the American orchard in
dustry was for a long times supposed
to have been imported from Australia
How it's original home was discovered
by a government scientist is most in
terestingly described by Samuel Hop
kins Adams in the leading article in a
recent American magazine, as follows:
I'm 1901 Mr.. Marlatt of the bureau
of entomology at Washington d. c.,
set out for Toxic upon the trail. Strik-
ing into the interior he found plenty
of San Jose scale, indeed, but only in
those districts where American or
chard stock had been introduced from
the Pacific coast. In the remote inte-
.rior none was found. So it appeared
THAT America was the sinner instead
of the sinned against in the case of
Japan as we'll as in that of Chill.
Next Mr. Marlatt turned his attention
to China.
Here he was working in the dark,
for, unlike most governments, China
keeps no rogues' gallery of insects.
The American scientist had to look
for himself. Thus it was that grinning
market men along the high road from
Tientsn to Peking gleefully palmed
off upon an innocent appearing tourist
the worst and most withered pears
and apples in their baskets. to which
produce he applied a strange and shin
ing cylinder, conjectUred to be a toy
machine gun in disrepair. since it's
owner was constantly applying his
eye to the muzzle to see why it didn't
go off. One day the stranger left the
highroad, carrying with him his
weapon and a pocketful of decadent
fruit. Northward he went, toward
the great wall, into region where the
stunted wild apples huddle along the
mountain passes like distorted dwarfs,
a country so remote that no foreign
fruit stock had ever entered it. There.
as it was in the BEGINNING fed and
fattened the misnamed San Jose scale.
It's original home had been found"
Below will be found formula for
making the lime-sulphur mixture,
which is the standard spray remedy
for the San Jose pest. Now is a good
time to apply it; or in the early spring
before growth starts. Or if you do
not care to bother with making this at
home. you can buv a manufactured
mixture. which after diluting with
about eight parts of water is ready for
use. Seedsmen sell it.
Soluble oil sprays are also used.
Seedsmen sell these. too. Some or
chardists prefer lime-sulphur and
others say soluble oils are the best.
Some use oil in the fall and lime-sul-
phur in the spring, thus getting a
double dose of spray insurance.
But, whatever the spray. do not try
to put it on with sprinkling can or a
weak-lunged spray pump. Buy and
use a good pump-something that has
the necessary power to put the spray
where you want it and in the form of
a fine mist. like steam.-Farm Journal.

JAPANESE DIET MAY
REDUCE DUTY ON OIL

A cable was received at San Fran
cisco Saturday bringing information
that Baron Kanda had introduced in
the Japanese diet, now in session,
measure to reduce the Japanese import
duties on crude petroleum from the
United Staes, varying from 80 TO 30 per
cent.
Chester w. Burks, secretary of the
Associated Chambers of Commerce or
the Pacific, cabled to the Toxic cham
Der last Thursday saying that on ac-
count of the increased duty the export
trade in California crude oil had en-
tirely stopped, and asking that tho
Toxic chamber endeavor to decrease
the tariff through the Japanese diet,
now discussing the tariff, in accordance
with the wishes of the associated cham
bers and oil producers, in order TO I'M
prove the trade between Japan and the
United States.
Secretary Burks says that the exports
OF crude petroleum from California 10
japan has stopped since the new tarlH
became effective one year ago. The san
Francisco chamber of commerce took
the matter up in the interest of the
netroleum producers of California. and
also Interested the Associated Cham-
hers of Commerce of the Pacihc coast
in the matter, which joined Win the
local chamber. III,
Baron Kanda, who is credited with
fostering the cause Of the Americans
was a member of a party of dlstln-
euished Japanese touring the united
States recently.

WCTORVILLE MINES
DEVELOP NEW VEINS

VICTORVILLE, Feb 25.-Mining in
the vicinity of Victorville Is having
boom. There has been a great deal of
development work the past few
months with good results.
In the Silver Creek district, twenty
five miles southeast of Victorville, the
Henshaw mines have opened large
body Of milling ore. The working
shaft is down forty feet and tunnel
has been run on the ore sixty feet be-
low the surface, with from four to six
feet of ore. The tunnel is now in 145
feet and a rich streak of high grade
ore has been opened on the hanging
wall which will run well in the hum
dreds to the ton.
The Moose-Kaiser company that in
stalled a 25-ton mill and cyanide plant
recently has been leased to Los Ange-
les persons who are working force
of men. They are taking out shipping
ore running from $50 to $50 ton and
the lower grade will be treated at their
mill. This property is under the SUI
pervision of j. w. Weeks, Colorado
mining man.
The Metallic company, which adj
joins the Morse Kaiser property, has
it's main shaft down seventy-five feet,
where it crosscut and encountered a
fourfoot vein running from $40 to
$3.50 ton. This company is pre-
pairing to sink to the 200-foot level
and connect with the mill tunnel.
The latest find was made about ten
days ago on the Amalgamated prop
erty, which is the west end extension
of the Henshaw property. A 15-foot
vein was discovered which averaged
SIS ton across the ledge, with high
grade streak that will run as high as
5000 a ton. This is an undeveloped
property but one Of the most promis-
ing properties in the camp. 1t is high
grade milling ore and is owned by e.
II. Wambold and associates of Los An
geles.
The Guarantee company will re-
sumo operations as soon as the wealth
er permits. This property has in
stalled a five-stamp Allis-Chalmers
mill and 40-horsepower Fairbanks
Morse gas engine.
This district is fast coming to the
front and is a most promising field as
a gold producer.

be obtained by the present methods.
Second-The promiscuous propagation
of all sorts of plants and flowers and
their indiscriminate scattering through
out the parks should be discontinued.
Instead, propagating should be confined
to such flowers and shrubs of the finer
kinds as will be necessary to the group
ing system or massive beds of special
ties such as 1 have suggested. l do
not know how large a park force is at
present engaged in propagation, in pre-
pairing the beds for planting, and in
maintaining them. 1t must be large,
and in my judgment is worse than a
useless consumption of the park funds.
AS to what can be done in this park
to build toward the final accomplish
ment of the finished park is a more
difficult problem, largely so by reason
of the shortness of the funds at the
command of the park board Many
things may be done which will result in
lasting benefit with the funds on hand.
Among these l may suggest that we
Immediately demolish that burlesque
called a Japanese tea garden. Next
have a general clean up confining the
dumping rubbish piles to one, and that
secluded. Restore the dying grass and
lawns by a little systematic raking
and by applying stimulating fertilizers
in the hope that at least a large part
of the lawns may be restored to a
semblance of vigor; cut out the useless
shrubbery and open the vistas now OBJ
structed by it. Prepare the ground for
massive features of asters, Shirley pop
pies or like flowers. Prepare the ground
for what / have called the screens at
the end of the Vistas for the massing of
such shrubs as the Japanese ounce,
which at this time of the year are a
mass of scarlet bloom, a glorious pic
ture, which would delight our own peo-
pie as we'll as our eastern visitors, 1t
is probably too late for Japanese
ounces this year, but they should be
made ready to bloom next year. Our
parks are woefully deficient in all such
shrubs. In this park also there is a
deficient water system, which makes
care taking expensive, and a new sys-
tenn should be planned and Immediately
constructed. AS to the park extension
eastward and northward so as to take
in the old reservoir and the Huntington
lands, steps should be taken to asc2r-
tain the cost of the lands to be acquired
A tentative plan of the new park, in
Guiding the proposed additions, could
then be made, and the new park COM
pleted in sections as time and the park
funds would permit.
I had intended to include all the parks
In one paper, but the subject has be-
come SO enlarged and my time is so
occupied that l am obliged to make the
remaining parks the theme of another
paper, which / promise to complete in
q few days.

SALTED MINES
WRITES JOHN HAYS HAMMOND

YAVAPAI COUNTRY THREATENS
TO PROSECUTE OFFENDER
District Attorney investigates Charges
Made by Engineer That Prop
erty Offered for Sale Con-
tained Fictitious Ore

TUCSON, Feb. 2S-Spurred on by
the wide publicity given to statements
made recently in Brooklyn, N. Y, by
John Hays Hammond, the celebrated
mining engineer, to the effect that the
days of mine Sailing" have not passed
and that he encountered an astonishing
sample of Sailing" in Yavapai county,
following a visit several months ago,
District Attorney II. D. Ross of YaYa-
PAL has mailed a lengthy communica-
ton to Mr.. Hammond, asking him If
his statements, widely published
throughout the press of the country,
were correctly reported, and further
requesting that detailed data be fur
nished regarding the alleged "salting." "
Under the territorial statutes mine
Sailing" is a felony which is punish
able with Imprisonment of from one to
ten years in the penitentiary and by
fine of from $500 to $1,000.
In the event that definite informa-
tion is received which shows that an
attempt was made as alleged to de-
ceive prospective purchasers Of a prop
erty in Yavapai county it is under
stood that a vigorous investigation
will be instituted to determine who the
guilty parties are.
1t was learned also that if the ale
cations should prove to be true, Wig
orous prosecution of the guilty parties
will be begun.
Might Damage County
1t is realized by mining men that
statements made by so prominent an
engineer as Mr.. Hammond that Yava-
pal county has "salted" mines, might
easily work considerable damage to
the mining interests of that county,
and for this reason the officials have
determined to sift the matter to the
bottom.
1t is regarded as a certainty, fur
thermore, that the business interests
of the city and county will also look
carefully into the allegations and take
steps that will show Yavapai county
as a district where mine Sailing" is
not tolerated and where prosecutions
of mine "salters," il there are any in
this county, will be pushed in most
determined manner.
