FINAL HEARING
ON NEW STREET
Board of Estimate Adopted
Resolution Yesterday.

At a final hearing before the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment in
Manhattan yesterday on the pro-
posed new street from Eureka place
to Church street, and the continual
ton of Lafayette place to Butler av-
enue, a resolution was adopted to
open both these thoroughfares. All
that remains now is to advertise the
houses for sale in the path of the
new street from Eureka place to
Church street, which will take about
twenty days, and the new street Will
be cut through. Some Of the prop
erty owners affected on that thor
oughfare have already received their
awards and the bills for the assess
ments have been sen out. 1t is ex-
pected that the new street will be cut
through about the latter part of
July and the work entirely compile
ted before the summer. When these
streets are opened up, it will take
considerable traffic off of the other
streets that have been opened for

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

Presidents Cromwell and McAneny
have reported on the new plan for
the cure of drunkenness. In brief it
is as follows: There are 1850 ha-
bituaI drunkards in the state. 1t is
proposed to corral 500 of these at
first and lodge them in a $450,00O
hotel, which is to be built. 1t will
cost $500 a year each to keep them.
This does not include $4,000 a
year each for two sets of offices, one
in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn.
1t goes to show that money is wasted
on drink, which some of us knew be-
fore. However, the plan is to go be-
fore the Board of Estimate before it

William Wheeler, twenty years
old, a young chemist in the rubber
department at the S. S. White Dental
Works, Prince Bay, is confined to his
room at the Sherman boarding
house, near the dental works, as the
result of an accident at the plant
Wednesday morning which came
near proving fatal to the young man.
Wheeler, who had only been at
work at the plant since Tuesday, the
day before the mishap, at the time
was mixing a quantity of caustic
potash in a vat which contained
about two hundred pounds of the
chemical to about fifty gallons of
water. In attempting to lean over
the vat the fumes, which were like
those of sitting gas, almost over
came him and it is said If some one
had not been neal he would have
fallen into it. Wheeler's throat was
burned by the fumes and he is still
in a serious condition. He is still

Ray Consolidated A Great Property
lBy Chas. \. plnsmorelZ -

The Ray Consolidated Copper com. pany owns properties at Ray. Pinal county. Arizona. and a l0.0O0-ton con entrator at Hayden. 20 miles away The mine is the largest porphry-cop per. probably, in the southwest al least: and within the 1S0 acres thor oughly prospected and developed they have S0.000, 900 tons of PIT per cent copper ore, or the enormous average of almost soc 900 tons per acre. De yeiopment was first -bys ,ehurn drilling
 and later by2 regular undergruEnd methods. and at this time there are more than 36 miles of underground work, and underground development is progressing at the rate of mile and half per month. lt is interest ing to note that the real opening of the mine by underground methods was begun but a little more than a year ago. and that development has been SO very rapid. The ore, is. generally disseminated throughout an area known to be 1900 feet in extent east and west and 5000 feet north and south: but the mineral body consid- erably exceeds this in length, though it has not been systematically drilled beyond these limits. The average depth of the capping is 315 feet: the average thickness of the ore body is III feet The western ore body is probably 60 per cent of the total will come from the former area. To win & per cent of the ore will necessitate hoisting approximately 300 feet, and for a great many years the lift will be only TO feet. or to the first level. The property will produce when in full operation about so. 0.O00.000 pounds Of copper annually. and the manage ment estimates that this will be done at a cost not to exceed 9 cents per pound of commercial copper. The ele- vation is about 20OO feet above sea level. The caving system of mining is being employed. on the most elab- crate scale, and the estimate of to 10 tons of ore per man per shift is conservative. In the successful oper- ation Of the present-day low grade copper properties, mining costs spell profit or loss absolutely: so, if these may be reduced a fraction of a cent per ton. it puts the figures on the right side of the ledger, and with the Ray Consolidated the mining costs will be minimized almost beyond be- lief. The 10,0OO-ton mill at Hayden is absolutely the acme of science in the making of concentrates, so that with the mining minimized and the milling as well as to costs. there Is no doubt that this property will within another twelve-month be one Of the most important of the coppers of the United States. At this time the con eentrates from the mill are going to Aguascalientes. Mexico: but as soon as the new installations are completed at the Fl Paso shelter they will be

Finding walnut fence rail, he set to
work. His only tools were an ak and

labored vigorously at his task, and by
morning the gunstock was finished and
back in place and worked like a

the number greatly surprised.

ficient amount of the three elements,
nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium,
and sometimes lime for acid soils, but
not an over-supply of any one of these.
Care must also be taken not to apply
any substances with the fertilizers
which are known to be injurious to the
production of good quality of tobac-
co. When large amounts of manure or
other organic matter is supplied to a
tobacco soil, large excess of nitrogen
NAV become available to the tobacco
plant, causing it to grow q rank, coarse
leaf which cures out dark in color, and
excessively strong in nicotine content.
Such tobacco is undesirable and brings
a low price.
Another element found to be injuri-
Gus to the quality of tobacco is chlorine.
Chlorine is contained in the common
commercial fertilizer, chloride or muri-
ate of potash This fertilizer, there
fore, should never be used as tobacco
fertilizer.
Potash is the element which is most
used by the tobacco plant. 1t must be
available in sufficient quantities in the
soil in order that the plant may make
normal growth. Furthermore, it is
found desirable to have it in excess of
what the plant ordinarily needs as it
greatly improves the burn" The APP
plication of sufficiently large amount
of barnyard manure to supply the de-
sirable amount of potash will usually
cause waste of nitrogen and phos-
phoric acid. 1t seems advisable, there
fore, that Wisconsin growers should
obtain potash in commercial fertilizers,
and apply them with smaller amounts
of barnyard manure. The practice of

many growers is to make heavy annual
applications of barnyard manure, often
as high as 80 loads per acre, valued
conservatively at $50. On ordinary to-
bacco soils Is loads Of manure together
with 200 pounds of potassium sulphate
would be more economical system of
fertilization.
Nitrogen is a relatively high priced
fertilizer, and if otherwise obtainable,
the commercial form cannot be recon-
mended for use in Wisconsin at the
present time The most. desirable way
to add nitrogen to the soil is by grow
ing leguminous crops. These plants
have the power of gathering nitrogen
from the atmosphere, where as a gas
it composes the greater portion of air.
The growing of clovers either in rota
ton with tobacco or as a cover crop
will supply the soil with this valuable
element. Commercial nitrogen fertil-
izers when desired should be bought as
nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia.
Cottonseed meal is also valuable nj
trogenous fertilizer.
Phosphoric acid is usually applied in
sufficient quantities with .barnyard
manure, but where it is desired to use
it as commercial fertilizer, dessicated
bone, ground rock phosphate, or acid
phosphate may be used. For potash
the high grade sulphate of potash is
most desirable.
The element which is lacking in any
particular soil will depend largely upon
its natural store of fertility, the physi-
cal character of the soil and how it has
been cropped. For this reason, differ
ent fields will require different treat
ments. 1t is only by testing various
fertilizers in various combinations on
the field that any safe conclusion can
be reached.
No fixed formula of fertilizers can be
given for tobacco at the present time,
as sufficient experiments have not been
made to warrant any recommendation

Considering the crops mentioned and
other crops which have been shown to
remove corresponding amount Of fer
tility, it follows that under a similar
system of culture, most crops remove
plant food as rapidly as tobacco. The
loss of fertility, due to tobacco culture,
over and above that which results from
growing corn and potatoes, must be
due to some other cause than removal
through cropping. The most common
of these is the excessive application of
certain fertilizing elements to the field,
and consequent loss of these through
the agency of teaching and soil wash
ing. Tobacco requires less phosphoric
acid than any of the other crops, a
comparatively large amount of potash,
but slightly less nitrogen than corn.
With continuous culture and heavy ap-
plications of barnyard manure, it will
be seen that an excess of phosphorlc
acid and nitrogen will gradually accu-
mulate in the soil, which If not used by
some other crop will leach into the sub
soil beyond the reach of the roots, or
will be washed off the surface by the
heavy rains.
Furthermore, the tobacco crop occu-
pies the land for only small portion
of the year, leaving the soil in condi-,
ton most suitable for the teaching and
washing away of fertilizers. The rem
edies which suggest themselves for
this waste involve judicious application
of fertilizers with means of retaining
them in the soil, or removing them
with other crops.
The second factor causing deteriora-
ton in the propuctiveness of tobacco
soils is loss of humus Frequent cult

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root of
all genuine growth in the individual,
and, exhibited in the lives of many, it
constitutes the true source of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in its effects,
but help from within invariably invig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity of doing for
themselves, and where men are sub
Jected to overguidance and 0vergovern-
ment the inevitable tendency is to rem

walton and the comparative baroness of
the field for the greater portion of the
year tend to destroy the humic content
of the soil. Humus is "burned out"
when exposed to the suns rays. The
value of humuS in a tobacco soil is
largely to give it good physical texture
or filth, to prevent baking and packing,
which would prevent air and water
from having ready access to the roots.
1t is also instrumental IN conserving
soil moisture, and this in seasons of
drought is of no mean Importance as it
may carry crop over in short sea-
son of drought which otherwise would
result in a severe check. 1t seems ad-
visable therefore that the growers on
sandy and clayey soils should do all in
their power to increase the humic con-
tent of their soils, while those cropping
prairie soils should at least maintain
the humus as it was originally present.
FERTILIZING OF TOBACCO SOILS.
The methods which may be practiced
for the maintenance of fertility on to-
bacco farms are as follows:
/. The judiciOus application of barn
yard manure to the tobacco fields.
2. The rotation of other crops, in
ClOUIilS icy IIISo, Will COOdCCO W use
up excess fertility, and add nitrogen
and humus.
3. The growing of cover crops to
add nitrogen and humus, and to pre-
vent the land being left bare the larger
portion of the season.
4. The possible utilization of some
commercial fertilizer in conjunction
with barnyard manure.
The fertilization of tobacco land for
the production of an increased yield is
a simple matter where fertilizers or
manures are readily obtainable. The
quantity of tobacco produced, however,
depends almost as much upon proper
fertilization as it does upon the proper
selection of soil. By proper fertiliza-
ton is meant the application of suf-
