To-day Audrain county stands
not very far removed from the lead
ing poultry raising counties of the
State of Missouri; with the Mex-1-
Mo. Poultry and Egg Farm in full
operation, and the Central National
Poultry Experiment Station filled
with hens i'm the egglaying contest,
the next report of the State Labor
Bureau concerning the surplus pro
ducts of the Static will give us a po-
sition among the leaders.
In 1905, Audrain compared with
the leading poultry raising counties
OF the State was not as favorable as
to-day. The table below gives the
surplus poultry products of 1906 and
the gain or loss in 1909:
Product. 1905 1906
Dressed Poultry, lbs, 25S,157
1~,S44,254 gair
Live Poultry, lbs, 2,245,6 sos
1902 79 loss
Eggs, doz., 1,421,49 S25,16O gain
Feathers, none $4,000 gain
There has been a gain in every
line except live poultry and there
quite a loss. The poultry raising fea
ture Of Missouri is placing the State
to the fore and Audrain must remain
in the vanguard.

REVOLUTION

Advices from Mexico indicate that
Ole Elliott, when passing through re-
Gently took a little flyer on a land
gamble and is financing the revolution
against Diaz, says the Carson Appeal.
1t don t cost much to start a revolution
in Mexico. You buy a few old guns
and a mountain howitzer and some
damaged ammunition for a song. This
war junk placed in the hands of discon-
tented Mexicans will start a good-sized
uprising, warranted to go, when wound
up, fully thirty days.
At that time the fun can be extend
ed another month for a few hundred
dollars in real money.
Starting an instruction in Mexico IS
like starting a sagebrush blaze. A few
matches and an old newspaper will
start it and it may burn over a few
hundred acres before it quits. Just
start the ball rolling from some Did
boozing ken south of the Rio Grande
and the mercurlal Mexieans will do the
rest.
There is also always a nance to win,
and if you happen to land a new gov
eminent in the chair, you will get ali
kinds of concessions to acquire vast
tracts of land, paying mines, or exclu-
sive gambling privileges in the ancient
City of Mexico, and a show to gather
in some of the wealth which attracted
the attention of Cortez in the old days
of loot and conquest.
If the insurgents succeed Ole will bt

ton, and it is growing bigger every
day. He is now rusticating in Bueno'
Ayres and meeting all drafts made OF
him by the revolutionists. Recently ht
wired them forty dollars on an emef
gencyf call, and Mrs. Elliott had to wait
for her new bonnet until the following
week. Ole is inflamed with the spiri'
of revolt and IS determined to 60 tn

Low Death Rate
In Goldfield

Thomas +. Dunn recently compiled
figures for submission to a life insur-
ance organization which show that
Goldfeld during the past year has had
a remarkably low death rate, but sc
persons passing away in this communi-
ty since January l, 1910. This is a
less number of deaths than occurred
during the one month of Novembe",
1906, when 81 persons passed away in
Goldfeld.
A remarkable feature of the record
is that it shows that during the past
year there has not been one death in
Goldfeld from a mine accident, and
that but one child of school age passe!
away. In four years time but twenty
six local deaths have been ~chargeab.e
to accidents in mines.

SHOW INCREASED VALUES

The general condition of the Belmont
mine is most satisfactory, and the av-

this month shows an increase of value
over that of November, was the pleas
ing news received by a representative
of the Miner at the office of the COM

ent faces of ore throughout the mine
have shown exceptionally high values
for such a large body of ore for several
months past, there has been a general
Improvement noted as the work of de-
velopment has progressed during the
past two or three weeks, with the re-
suit that the average output OF the
mine now runs higher than for some

encouraging condition of affairs exist
every face exposing ore for the full
width, with no indication of a limit
to the phenomenal ore body first en-
countered a little over a year ago, and
upon which active development work

body of recent years in the state, an1
one capable of providing dividends for
years to come. Though this ore body
has been actually exposed for nearly
