Mines Under A Heavy Option.

A Colorado Springs dispatch says It is reported that the trustees of the Myron Stratton home have decided to sell all the Stratton estate mining property in the Cripple Creek district, if an advantageous deal can be made. and have given an option in the sum of $500, 0,0O0S on the property. The option is held by a prominent Eastern man, it is said, who is in touch with Eastern and British capital and who expects to make sale.
 The estate holds great deal of val uable mining property in the Cripple Creek district and now that the drain age tunnel Is an assured success and the deeper ore bodies may be devel- Oped, the time for making a sale seems propitious.
 Before hls death Mr. Stratton ex- pended large sums of money in devel- opment work that did not secure the results expected and when he died the property was not on a paying basis. Under the leasing system, however, the executors were able to turn this annual loss into a net gain, and, it is said. have made profit from the min ing property of about 25O,OO0S in re- cent years. The trustees, however. are not professional mining men and realize that the proper development of the property necessitates the expendi- ture of money entailing more or less risk.
 Owing to these circumstances they are offering the properties at figure which mining men consider very reas- enable.

Copper Reef.

In the inclined shaft on the North Star claim at Copper Reef a station has been cut at a depth of five hundred feet and a crosscut was started to the south to intersect the North Star vein on which the shaft was started. Cross cutting to the north has been begun on the same level further to prospect the second vein discovered in the shaft at depth of about 475 feet, and judg- ing by the dip of the vein when it was penetrated by the shaft it is expected that it will be encountered within 40 or 50 feet. The California tunnel cut the vein at a distance of Al feet from the portal and is now more than ten feet into the vein matter. About Is inches of fair carbonate ore was en- countered.

Yavapai Metals Ship Rich Ore.

Over 1250 pounds of ore from the new strike made by the Yavapai Metals Mining and Reduction con- pany was forwarded yesterday to Allegheny City, Pa, R. B. Standard and J. B. McGarvey, loading that weight on the cars in the city. This consignment goes to their agents, and in few days George Oatman, their consulting engineer will leave for the same city. This sample represents what was taken from the pay streak at the bottom of the l30-foot shaft in the face of drift forty-five feet distant, and was obtained without any assor- ting whatever. In speaking of the general outlook in their mine Messrs. McGarvey and Stanaland state that since the strike was given publicity a few weeks ago, the values have been maintained and the ore body has re- mained strong and uniform in it's mineral character. The average of the pay streak is twenty inches, and from top to bottom will run to I25S per ton, carrying gold, silver and copper, the latter metal predominating. They also state that as depth is reached, there is no pinching of the vein matter that carries the above values, but on the contrary some very high grade ores has been cut into.
 One surprising condition was re- vealed few days ago, in a telegram from the east, which conveyed the im- portant news that in bucking a sample, small nuggets of free gold were shown imbedded in large piece of the ore sent for exhibition purposes.
 Since the property has assumed such prominence, the country for a radius of five miles has been located, and in addition it has been visited by over a score of mining engineers, all of whom speak fayorably of it's prospects. Messrs. McGarvey and Stanaland re- turned to their camp immediately after delivering the shipment to the railroad company for transportation to the east. Their camp is located about seven miles east of Humboldt and until they entered the district about two years ago, not foot of the ground was occupied for a radius of over three miles.-Jou rnal-Miner.

LARGE YIELD OF
CORN POSSIBLE
How to Cultivate to Get a
Big Yield

The Ocala Banner of this week has
the following interesting article on the
subject of corn growing: DR.. j.. c.
Boozer, who is an enthusiast ON the
subject of better and more corn and
who has done more to stimulate inter-
est among the farmers along this line
than any other man in the country,
hands US a little pamphlet under the
above heading, and is worthy the per
usal of every farmer in the county:
Preparation is Equally if Not More
Important Than Cultivation.
Deep blowing is the first essential
to good corn crop.
/ break my land from u to Is inches
in depth, using a two-horse steel pillow,
following this with a subsoiler lay
off rows four feet wide with a two
horse steel pillow with two burrows,
leaving a small list
Before planting l take a middle
buster and split out balk | plant the
corn from 10 to u inches apart in the
drill using corn droper I use a six
hole plate.
l prefer waiting to plant until the
middle of March, and never plant earl
Ter than March 10th Sometimes l
plant not earlier than April
In fertiIizing my corn I either
broadcast or put in siding, siding the
burrows at the second blowing. 1t de-
ponds on how much l put to the acre
as to the method I use. l use from
500 pounds to one ton of fertilizer to
the acre Where I use 500 pounds l
made from 40 to 80 bushels of corn.
Where I used a ton of fertilizer, made
100 bushels to the acre, or more. 1t
all depends on the amount of fertilizer
used.
Corn requires mere potash in the
fertilizer than any ether crop. I like
. have at least 10 Fer cent. potash for
corn. and want my fertilizer to analyze
$50. The same analyses is fine for
cotton
This year I made a test by using an
analysis of 1925, and made about 10
bushels less per acre than when
used 1910.
Where corn is in bunch for tassels
use from 100 to 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda to the acre, throwing it on the
ground just ahead of mp last burrows.
I usually bar off the corn at first
blowing, let it stand about ten days,
and then l put my first application of
fertilizer in burrows, siding with
scooter and a 20-inch scrape; then in
a week run out the middles with
scooter and scrape At the last plow-
ing | use a turner pillow and a 24-inch
scrape, and this is the time l apply
the nitrate of soda. I believe in more
dirt at laying by than at any other
time.
