horses was exhibited to a large crowd
Of people. including many from. all

the crowd was IN no way inconveni-
enced though the lawn at Fairmont
Farms which was utilized as show
ground is somewhat the worse for
wear.
The crowd which witnessed the ex-
hibition was large and appreciative
one and would number ahoye the 500
mark considerably Arrangements
had been made for seating the visitors

1t is probable that our money mar

as Sl277.Ss3 The ore tonnage de-
veloped amounts to approximately ls.-

developed ore of about 1900 000 tons.
The property is being equipped for
More than 40 per cent. Of the present

lADYBUGS TRAVEL ON A PASS
They Are Carried TO California Melon
Fields 70 Destroy Pests Which
Harm Crops.

"Ladybug, ladybug. fly away home"
Is out of date.
The revised version is, 'Ladybug.
ladybug. take ride with the express
company"
Thousands - possibly millions-of
the beneficial little bugs are being
hauled by the express companies just
now. most OF them going from the
state insectary at Sacramento to the
melon fields of the Imperial valley.
Three consignments of big screened
plates have passed through Los An.
geles within the last few days TO FL
Centro and other Imperial points.
They are hauled free by the express
company for the express purpose of
aiding the melon growers, and the
cases are returned free to Sacramento
for more.
The ladybugs delight TO feed on the
aphides and other insect pests which
harm the melon crops. A nice, fat
aphis is just like a porterhouse steak
TO ladybug-and there are enough
aphides In the melon fields of the
Imperial valley TO delight her lady !
bugship for some time.
The melon raisers took up with the
state agricultural authorities some
time ago the question of obtaining
large supply of ladybugs. The state
Insectary undertook to supply them,
and the express company offered to
carry them to the melon fields free.
II takes twenty-six thousand lady.
bugs TO make a pound. and the state
nsectary has more than a ton OF
hem. Consequently. there are some.
hing like so million of them In stor.
lge at Sacramento-or there were a

AHMEEk TO BUILD DAM

The Ahmeek Mining company has
given George Hall a contract to con-
struct dam Just northwest OF Sene-
ca Lake, says the Keweenaw Miner
The embankment which Mr.. Hall will
put In Will run parallel with the county
road north of the lake and will be
about 700 feet In length. and will raise
the waters OF the lake some eight feet
higher than It's normal height. This
WIZ give the company a pretty large
reservoir OF water, as the hills on eth
er side Of the lake extend In the dl
rection Of the mine for probably n
distance Of half mile. When the dam
Is completed the company will install
a permanent pumping plant at the
AXE and lay a line of pipe from the
AXE to the mine. which will serve 10
prevent shortage Of water In the
future for mine purposes.
