 The annual report of the Lucky Tiger Combination Gold Mining Co. for 1910 is to hand. showing net prof it's for last year Of t4S5. .30S.s4. At the meeting of this company, held at Douglas. Arizona. on March 21, the following officers were elected for this year: John Kelley, president: B. Fisher, vice president; O. ". Dodge, secretary. O. F. McMullen, as sistant secretary: H. Vandersliee, treasurer; George T. Moore, assist ant treasurer; James VI. Mslcoimson. consulting engineer; E J. Han, gen erai counsel. This property, as is well known. is in the now famous T1gre district Of Sonora. not far from Doug las, and the ore and concentrates are shipped to the Fl Paso shelter. The report is rather exhaustive, but De cause of local interest throughout the southwest it is most entertaining ln- cluded in the report of l. R. BudroW' manager, is the following:
 Our total operating expenditures at the mine amounted to S39i, ,3O5.oo, of which amount $76. .i2S.76 was ex- pended for development. Of this last amount S20,5Se9S was spent in our No. ore extraction tunnel and GOV cred 9J6 feet of dead work. In aGdi- ton to the amount spent in operation here was expended $2S3. .SSi.s7 on con struction work This does not include an additional amount of $63,0l514 which was spent in the purchase or machinery. supplies. etc, for the new mill. and had not been distributed at the end of the year. 1t is carried as construction supplies on hand The distribution of the operating expen- ditures is as given below and cost per ton is shown for each division he milling ore. plus shipping ore.

hive rests is made large enough so that
the bees have ample room to alight
and enter the hive without coming in
contact with the protective compost
ton in the channel.
The entire stand Is made of concrete
in an easily prepared homemade mold
which enables them to be built at
cost of less than 10 cents each, which
is as low as any good stand may be
built. Furthermore, the concrete stand
Is everlasting and ornamental.
To make the mold board is pre-.
pared for the bottom or pallet as large
as the entire stand is to be. Upon
this three-fourth inch strip is nailed
so that it reaches entirely around the
edge Of the pallet one inch in from the
outside edge, as shown in Fig. 2 This
molds the channel or groove in the top
of the stand for the oil or water. Four
boards are now prepared long enough
to reach entirely around the outside
edge of the pallet. These are seven
inches high, which makes the stand
six inches high when board one inch
thick is used for pallet.
These four boards are cut out in the
center by saving into them three
inches at point six inches from each
end and breaking out this piece to
make them the form Illustrated, which
permits the legs to be easily nodded
These boards when finished are hinged
together at three corners. and the
fourth corner fastens with a hook and
eyelet, so that when the work is mold
ed the form may be unlocked at one
corner and folded back from the work.
The concrete is filed into form and
tamped down solid up to the top edge
of the cut out part of the side molds.

A Business Proposition.

Many people seem to mistake
the mission of the newspaper.
It's a business that men engage
in for a living, and as such should
be treated.
This being the case, there is no
excuse for its being used as We
hicle for private spleen, for rid
ing a hobby by some one, for
promulgating the opinions of any
one but the editor, for dissemin-
ating the views of politicians,
for selling their virtue before
the public, or for making public
items of news that are intended
to boost the trade of individuals.
No one else is called on for so
much as the newspaper man; he
is expected to give publicity to
everything, whether of interest
to the public or not; he is eX-
pected to build up an interest in
the schools, the churches, the
road improvements, the making
of better crops, to make popular
the views of politicians, boosting
them because they ask it; adver-
tise their meetings as pieces of
news" give half column to aid
societies-things good in them
selves-but the editor has to
make a living and it costs him on
an average a round silver dollar
to get a column of type in the
newspaper with a matter that
cannot possibly bring him an iota
in cold cash.
Why should the newspaper man
make this sacrifice any more than
the merchant, the farmer, the
blacksmith, the mechanic, or any
one else?
We readily give place to almost
all notices, but must draw the
line occasionally on matter that
has no news value.

spraying demonstrations to the
number of 125 were given, with
an attendance of IL, 500, making
nearly $4,000 people reached by
the schools, special trains, grange
lectures, and orchard demonstra-
tions.
Besides these lines of work,
exhibits were made at IL county
fairs, at the National Corn Show
and the State Apple Show; 2 Sat-
urday meetings for teachers
teaching agriculture were held;
123 school visits in the interest
of agricultural and domestic art
contests were made; 103 citizens
meetings, farmers Institutes,
commencements, etc., 8 special
domestic science meetings of l
to 4 days each and 6 country life
conferences were held, at which
no count was kept OF the number
reached.
About 200 boys corn contests
and girls sewing and baking con-
tests are being conducted, in
cluding about $4,000 boys and
girls. Corn was judged at 80
corn shows. Corn and soil SAM
Piles were collected from differ
ent parts of the state for testing
and analysis; hundreds of plants,
insects, etc., were identified.
In addition to the above, 148
county newspapers were furn-
ished monthly plate matter on
agricultural subjects; 10000 cop
les of the Agricultural College
Extension Bulletin were issued
each month; six issues of the
Farmers Reading Course Bulle-
tin, 5000 copies each; supple
ments on corn, grain drills, poul-
try, dairying, drainage. pruning,
spraying, and methods of teach
ing agriculture, 10000 to $4,000
copies each were distributed over
the state.
The services of the Agricul-
tural Extension Department are
in great demand. Supt. A. B.
Graham has already received re-
quests for 1911-1912 as follows:
81 applications for agricultural
extension schools, in &c different
counties 6 agricultural trains for
August, 1911, and correspond
ence for three trains at other
times; nearly ITO newspapers
for agricultural matter in
plate form; 45 requests for ex-
hibits at county fairs.
A great deal might be said a.
bout these various lines of work,
but it is sufficient to state that it
