T. H. Warburton, superintendent
of the Marsh Mining and Milling
company, operating at Georges Can
yon, and who came in from that
district few days ago for supplies,
brought in with him number of
samples taken from the 150-foot
level, where the ledge as far as it
is cut gives a general average of
$12S.72 to the ton. Five samples
assayed gave returns as follows:
$74.56, $1,000 $11S.S4, $76.33,
$31S. The values are in gold and
silver, with the gold predominating.
The ore on the lower level is
changing from oxidized to sulphide
in character and the blue lode por-
phyry has been encountered. Mr..
Warburton stated that at depth
of 112 feet the ledge maintains its
uniform width of two and a half
feet and is well defined. showing
every indication of depth and per-
manent ore values. The intentions
now are to sink another hundred

getting into the sulphide zone the

SCIENTISTS ARE
SERVED A La CARTE
BY CANNIBALS

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 16-That
they were killed and eaten by. can
nibals is a solution now offered of
a mystery of fourteen years stand
ing, concerning the fate of the Aus
trian scientific expedition from the
ship Albatross in the Solomon
Islands.
The discovery was made by DR..
Northcott Deck of the South Sea
evangelical mission. News of the
finding of the remains of the party
from the Albatross was received to-
day by the steamer Zealandrie from
Australia.
The expedition from the Albatross
was headed by Baron Won Norbeck,
and included Lieutenant Budik
Midshipman De Beufort and nine
sailors. DR.. Beck found evidences
of a massacre on Tatuve island and
from the natives he learned the de-
tails of the slaughter.
The Austrians, according to the
fnatftes, were surprised by TIL,
blacks. Baron Won Norbeck wa
tomahawked by savage who crep
up behind him. The sailors tough
off the blacks after several wer'
wounded and made camp where tn
baron died. During the night tn
, camp was attacked again and onl
three of the men escaped. The
made their way to the coast withou
learning the fate of their fellows
who fell into captivity.
Remnants of remains cast asid
after the cannibal feast were foun
near the scene of the massacre, an
this leads DR.. Beck to believe tha
the captives fell prey to the inhr
man practice of the savages.

TO TRY NEW GRASS
ON RANGES OF NEVADA

w. B. Putnam has received from
a friend in Florida some samples of
Bermuda grass with which he is
planning to experiment in this state
to learn if that grass can be trans
planted and will thrive here. Sam
Piles of the grass have been given
to J. P. Gardnes, who will have ex-
periments conducted with it on his
Nevada ranch.
The grass spreads rapidly, run
ming close to the ground and send
ing out suckers, which soon take
root, under favorable conditions,
these in turn sending up new par
ent stocks.
The spread of the grass is said
to be very rapid and it is virtually
indestructible. 1t is said to be ex-
ceedingly nutritious and cattle and
sheep thrive we'll upon it. They
will eat it in preference, it Is said
to other kinds of range grasses.
Mr.. Putnam is of the opinion tha
il it will grow in the dry soil ant
atmosphere of Nevada and the othe
semi-arid states of the west, 1t will
prove to be a boon to stockmen
and will increase the forage valu
of their ranges. The only possibil
ity of danger is in the indestructibl

BOYS IN INTENSIVE FARMING
Twelve Thousand Southern Lads
Show How Productiveness of Land
May Be Increased.

More than 10000 southern boys less
than eighteen years old planted and
cultivated an acre of corn each year
under the direction of the department
of agriculture Persons interested in
the experiment in Arkansas, Missis-
sippi, South Carolina and Virginia Of
fered to pay the expenses of a trip
to Washington for the boy in each
state who raised the greatest amount
of corn on his acre. The winning
boys will soon visit the national cap
ital
The average yield of corn to the
acre in 1909 was a little more than
twenty-five bushels. The South Caro-
lima boy who made the best record,
produced 1924, says Youths Com
panion. If they should be followed ex-
actly the yield of corn to the acre
could easily be doubled in a single
year.
Intensive cultivation is worth while
on all crops. The average yield of
potatoes to the acre in 1909 was lot
bushels, but the Maine farmers aver
aged 225 bushels, and some of the
more progressive of them dug 400
bushels to the acre. The yield of corn
and potatoes depends more upon cult
walton and fertilization than upon the
soil, and there is practically no part
of the United States in which these
crops cannot be raised successfully.
1t is beyond doubt that larger crops
can be produced from ten acres thor
oughly titled than from two or even
three times ten acres cultivated as
they usually are. The fact that the
South Carolina prizewinner raised
more corn on one acre than the aver
age farmer produces from six tells a
story that should not be lost upon
those for whose benefit the expert
ment was made.

LARGEST ANIMAL IN WORLD
Represented by Colossal Skeleton Of
Whale Eighty-seVen Feet Long
in New Zealand Zoo.

What is claimed as the largest ami
colossal skeleton in the museum of
Christchurch, New Zealand. This is
the remains of a large specimen of
the blue whale stranded on the coaS
of that country. This whale is prob
ably the largest of all living animals
The length of the skeleton is 81 feet,
and the head alone is Fl feet The
weight of the bones Is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
it's name of blue whale from the dark
bluish-gray of it's upper surface The
tinge of yellow on its lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which it is known on the western side
of the Atlantic. 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorQual (Balenoptera sib-
baldiD.
The chief food of this gigantic ami
NAL is a small marine crustacean
(Trysanopoda inermis), known to the
whalers as "kril." Another species of
the same shrimp-like group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs of mackerel caught on the Cor
nish coast. The nearly related opos-
sum shrimps, found in enormous num-
Der in the Greenland seas, form the
chief food of the common whale.
Some of the thysanopoda are phos-
phorescent and contribute to the
luminosity of the sea.
