John and Frank Hurley, operating
a lease on the east drift Of the Aetna

hundred tons of mill ore.
The first shipment from the Ma

Golden Smelling Company, was slX

tons.
Borzago and company shipped from
their lease on the Notaway mine IN
Gilpn county S,154 pounds of second
class ore, which brought returns OF
219 gold, 4.12 silver and .G5 per cent
copper per ton.
Heavy shipments will shortly be in
order from the properties of the Wa.

of copper was S5.644,5l1 pounds and
the total dividends paid during the
year s4,64S,675.50.
The five new strikes reported in
the Stratton's Independence mine al
Cripple Creek recently, have been de-

Several shipments have been made

of 1854 per ton.
The famous War Dance mine, in
Russell district, which jumped into

shipments of ore worth thousands OF

Mexican Mill
Being Tested

From the present outlook, the new
Mexican mill will be ready for the
crushing of the second class ore now
stored on the surface Of the Union
shaft by the first OF January, which is
Monday of next week, for the first
run now being made on lowgrade
rock. which, 4.assays4 around IS per
ton, is demonstrating the fitness OF
the mill for the treatment OF the
high grade ores now awaiting milling
The mill is now being operated
three shifts day, with the afternoon
and night shifts operating, and the
day shifts making the necessary ad-
justments. There still remains few
more changes to be made especially
with the classifier, but this is giving
a much better service than few days
ago.
1t is said that sample OF the tail
ings yesterday showed an extraction
of 90 per cent on the low grade ore
which indicates that the plant is be
ing rapidly brought up to the point
OF efficiency required. The progress
made at the mill this week is very

EXPLAINS EEL WORM PEST
Intelligent Review of the Insect
Given Farmers by Professor
Headley

Considering the general interest
taken in the Eel worm that has for
some time threatened the important
industry OF potatoe raising III West

Data concerning the subject furnished
by Prof. Headlcy to the Churchill
Standard will be OF interest, especial

spection by the California authori-
ties:
For SO small creature it has been
receiving 4 great amount OF attention
the past year i'll the States OF \eva-
da and California. The eel worm
has been found for years in Caliior-
MIA and two years ago began to be
noticed in parts OF this state. 1t has
been found on a farms III this pro-
jcct, and its presence has caused
much uncasiness among many OF the
potato growers. Although the eel
worm is very undesirable citizen,
it is not so bad as to materially affect
the production OF potatoes, providing
methods such as are suggested IN
this article are used for holding it in
check.
Fortunately u number OF sugge-
tiors have been studying the pest

Agriculture has just issued a very

The eel worm has been pre- sent in
the United States for a great many
years, and iras been the cause OF dis
eases OF plants known by various
names, as root knot, root gall, big
root and eel worm. 1t is abundant
in practically all of the Southern
states, and has been found TO some
extent in all but some OF the most
northern states.
The potato is only one OF numer-
Gus plants that the eel worm Is
known to infcst 1t can live i'll the
roots OF some plants withou: caus-
ing apparent injury. but in some OF
our cultivated plants the injury is Of
a serious nature, causing the plant
TO become 'dwarfcd or to die. Some
times there are no visible symptoms
above ground except the decreased
yield OF the affected crop. They gen
orally cause very noticeable enlarge
ments or gals on the roots of the
infested plants. These cnlargcments
are popularity called roo, knots.
In the potato it causes small, round
brownish spots, about the size OF 4

They can be introduced INTO new
sections in the seed OF potatoes and
roots of peaches, cherries, strawbcr-

other susceptible crops. They can be

moisture is necessary for the devel-
opmcnt, but they cannot live in soils
which are continually wet.

I one TO Follow With some soils, BY
causing a rise of the water table and
a water-logged soil, but might be
freely used where there is good
drainage.
Experiments have been tried which
indicate that the eel worms can be al
least eatly reduced in numbers by
thoroughly drying out the soil for a
few months. The land can be quite
thoroughly dried in rainless eli
mate such as this by blowing deep
during the hot season of the year and
allowing the soil to stand without
narrowing or other treatment. llar-
rowing would tend to pack the soil
again and retard the evaporation OF
water
The most practical method for cx-
termination will be by growing those
crops on the infested fields which do
not furnish food for the worms.

have been found lying on the roots
of some varieties of oats and barley.
