carries in being 20 generally known.
A meeting Of the miners Of that
district 10 TO be called at some time
in the future, and new title Sc
lected. The rich discovery on the
Monte Carlo, and the rush Of miners
to that vicinity, together with the
successful operation Of other mines
throughout that field, has created n
revival Of interest, and the consensus
Of opinion is that the district should
get in line for an attractive eonsid'
Grafton in name, to say the least.
Going back to 1866, the name Of
Humbug was bestowed on that sec.
ton by company of Montana placer
miners. These men came all the
way from the north ON the pretext
that its creek bed was fabulously
rich in the yellow dust, and after
mining a small strip for few
months, they left this district, and
one Of the members facetiously term
ed il, from the results obtained,
"Humbug" district. From that day
the christening has held itself firmly
and the maps Of the county so des'
ignate it.
A more appropriate and deserving
name is Silver Mountain district, and
until the Montana bunch entered the
section IL was so known. In 1864
George Bernard, j. W. johnson, w
c. Collier and A. G. Williamson wen,
to Silver Mountain, in the vicinity
Of where the Pacific Copper Mining
company today is located, and oper
ated the Mammoth lode, giving the
section the title Of Silver Mountain
district. They were the first to "a
to the section, and from the discovery
Of the Mammoth the Old Tiger wa,
next located.
II would seem from this that the
old name should be restored, and the
coming into prominence Of the ola
district again through the important
mining discoveries Of recent date
should be more generously referred
to than what the inelegant name OF
"humbug" conveys.

DIVORCE ACTION

The extraordinary divorce case Of
Mrs. Matte Mccormick against John
y. Mccormick, on the stated ground
Of abandonment, was heard in Dis.
triet Court, yesterday morning, and
was conluded in the afternoon, when
the decree was ordered. The plaintiff
herself appeared in the morning, and
in the afternoon her son, Herman Ne.
Cormiek. who though a stepson Of the
defendant, had taken his name, testi.
fed. The statements Of both were
only a reiteration Of the matter of
the complaint, says the Phoenix Re.
publican.
This Was an action to establish le.
gslly the death Of the defendant,
rather than to procure a divorce from
him, for Of his death there was no
reasonable doubt. Judge J. N. Jami.
aon appeared for the plaintiff.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormick were mar.
risd in Washington, ID. c., on July 3
1897. They lived happily together un'
iii in January Of 1906. II was stated
by the plaintiff that in that time
not an unkind word had passed. On
January 9 Of that year the defendant
left Washington by boat for Norfolk
Va, on n business trip. On the ar
rival Of the boat at Norfolk the next
morning he was not in his stateroom
nor was he on the vessel, but in hi,
ststeroom there was found his hat
his top coat and bundle Of papers
Among the papers was letter TO the
plaintiff, in which Mccormick wrote
that she would never see him again
He said that his financial difficulties
had grown so great that be could
not overcome them and he dared not
face his creditors. He was never az
terward seen. While there was no
doubt that he had committed suicide
by drowning, his body was never
found and the fact Of his death could
not be established.
The court ordered decree.

Marking tn Pigs.

pigs must be identified for registra.
ton when they are sold or when a
buyer Is on the place and wishes to
know of the breeding of this pig or
that pig or from what particular SOW
1t was produced. The breeder who
has his pigs marked so that he can
point out any pig rs being from this
or thai dam and Of this or that breed
Ing is more liable to make sales to
he visiting buyer than the one who
cannot Identify his pigs and becomes
confused or who stRmmers unsatisfac-
tory answers when questions are put
to him with regard to their dams or
breeding.
Perhaps the best system Of mark.
ing pigs that Is in popular use among
advanced swine breeders Is that which
consists In notching or puncturing the
ears at their edges SO that the identi-
fication marks can be easily read at
a glance from a convenient distance.
With such a system there Is no loss
OF patience either with the pigs or
with their owner when identification
becomes necessary, and there is much
less chance of the Identification marks
being lost than with the ear tag mark
ing system.
The system referred to is explained
by the accompanying cuts. One notch
or puncture in the outer edge Of the
right cal counts one. in the outer edge
OF the left ear three. in the inner edge
of the right ear 10. and In the inner
edge Of the left a 80. Combinations
of these notches will serve to number
up to 100, as is noted from the key.
The cuts Of the other three heads
show how the ears are marked for
filters Nos. s, II and Al.
The filters each year should be num-
bered in the order Of their birth, all
the pigs of each separate litter being
given the same number marking. The
litter Identification number marks
should also be recorded in a perma-
ment private herd book and in a small
pocket herd note and record book
which the herdsman can always have
at hand ready to refer to when oc-
casion calls. The Identification marks
can be represented In these books by
drawings Or sketches simiIsr to the
ones in the cuts hy1s Esed to explain
the sysSLr$ 5Y they may be recorded
by simply sketching notched pairs Of
ears without the heads and faces be-
ing represented.

SYSTEM FOR MARKING PIGS
Easy Matter to Determine From What

Before the young pure bred pigs that

some way so that later they may
readily and easily be identified az to

what SOW they were produced. Fail
