GOLDEN GROWN
IN GOOD ORE
Work That Has Brought the
Desired Results.

In doing the annual assess
ment work on the Golden Crown
claims, the ore shoot shown on
the surface has been picked up
in the tunnel at a depth of 1876 ft.
When the Golden. Crown was
under bond three years ago con-
siderable work was done, but no
pay ore was Encountered. The
work consisted cf a cross-cut
tunnel 46O ft. to the vein, and a
drift on the vein to the east of
over a hundred feet. A short
drift was run west, but no ore
was encountered, when the bond
was thrown up.
The owners, John Nassau, J..
M. McCaffery and Geo.. S. Young
then began the search for the
ore shoot that was exposed on
the surface. 1t was found that
the tunnel had cut the vein to
the east of the ore shoot and that
the drift had been run over the
ore. They then began to drive
to the west in the hopes of pick
ing up the ore, but last year had
not gone far enough.
This year Geo. Young, who had
never lost faith in the property
began the assessment work with
the determination of finding the
ore, and from the looks of the
face of the drift it shows that
his persistency has been reward
ed.
Last week Mr.. Young broke
into the ore, and at present has
three feet exposed in the face.
The ore is a sulphide, and is well
miperaIized. 1t is the same
character of ore found on the
surface and which carried good
values. -.
1t is Mr.. Young's intentions tc
do considerable work on the
shoot and if possible show the
extent of it.

Getting Out Ore.

Mike Bagley, one of the own
ers of the Major group of claims,
situated about a mile northeast
of town, is getting out some
ore for the custom mill. The
Major has some very high grade
ore, and it is expected that quite
a large amount will be available
in a short time.
F. A. Baner, of the Occident

to get out ore to be treated at

DRESDEN. CHINA.
It's Three Periods and the Marks Tho
Pieces Bear


Dresden china began its reign at the
fair Of Leipzig, 1921, where it was Of
fered for public sale for the first time.
1t has had three periods Kings, Mar
coline and modern.
The factory marks traced on the bet
tom of each piece vary according to
the period-the oldest (King's) being
the monogram A. R. and the wand Of
Aesculapius. The familiar crossed
swords, with the dot or circle between
the handles, We're first used in 1921,
and the star took the place of the dot
in the Marcoline period. The modern
mark is the simple crossed swords,
sometimes accompanied by letters and
numbers.
Although the methods of work are
still. jealously guarded in all factories,
the essentials are an open secret, and
the following rough outline may salts

Local Option Election
IS Over.
WAS A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE
Partial Rerurns of Election
Given Below.

The latest returns show that
Idaho county went wet by 142
majority, with five small pre-
cincts to hear from.
The second election in Idaho
county on the local option ques-
tion came off yesterday, and the
resclts so far received are printed
below.
The dav was all that could be
desired, bright and the sunshin-
ing clear. so everybody could get
to the polls.
The polls were opened at the
usual time, with u. G. Kinkaid,
John Gibson and Walter Patter-
son as judges; Mrs. L. A. Strong
and Mrs. Sue Parsell clerks; AL
Austin distributing clerk and H.
7. Thompson constable.
There was considerable interest
manifested, but the "drys"
were sadly outnumbered.
One of the placards that was
displayed on the streets read:
Shall Bootlegging and the
| Sale of ROt-Gut Continue.
Eyes: Is a vote for bootleg
ging, drunkenness and unre-
stricted crime.
mo: Is a vote for license,
law, education and strict regula-
tion.
The returns from the outside
precincts were received by the
long distance telephone, so that
the people of Elk City knew how
the county had gone, before bed
time.
There were 131 votes cast in
Elk City, of which the vets had
a majority of 95.
One of the remarkable coinci-
dents. of the election was the
fact that the only liquor obtain
able on election day was in the
hands of a "dry" campaigner,
and he was very free in the use
of it.
The remarkable heavy vote of
the precincts on the reservation
was surprise to everybody, and
where Kooskia, Tahoe Ridge and
Sites got their Indians is hard
to tell, but they voted them just

Promising Prospect Be-
ing Developed
ON HEAD 6F BOULDER CREEK
Cox and Robinson Are, the
Lucky Ones.

One of the most important
strikes that has been made for
some time comes from Dixie, and
from what can be learned is des-
tined to play an important part
in the development of that camp.
Some time last summer rumor
had it that Robinson & Cox had
made some locations on the head
of Boulder creek and had found
some rich ore. This was all that
was reported at. the time, but
when George Blaine came out
this fall, he told of examining
the property, and predicted that
it would be a dividend payer in
two years. Mr.. Blaine is one of
the best posted, and at the same
time most conservative mining
man that has operated in this
section, and his prediction carried
weight, for since then several
parties have examined the claims
with a view of bonding, but the
owners have refused all offers
and will develop the property
this winter.
The claims are located in a very
accessible place, with wagon
road within a short distance.
The boys have a good cabin and
are prepared for the work of de-
veloping.
Some Of the finest specimens
of free gold have been taken
from the claims that have been
found in the district, and some
of the assays have run as high
as 25 ounces in gold.
Billy Robinson, one of the
owners of this group of claims
is a well-known printer anC
newspaper man, and has from
time to time kept the readers Of
the Mining News posted in re
gard to what was going on il
Dixie, but has never even men
toned that he had prospect.
Ed Cox is a well-known pros
pector and miner, having beer
in Central Idaho for 10 years.
The owners have located sever
claims in the group, and hav'
exposed the vein in severa
places. Near these locations j
the Lo Lo group, which has SOM
fine ore, and also a group O
claims owned by Harris & Jone
of Elk City.

CONCENTRATES.

Satisfactory prints can be OBJ
taihed from cracked negatives,
if the film is not injured. Place
in the frame carefully and cover
with tissue paper or ground glass
to diffuse the light as much as
possible. Rotating the frame
during the printing operation is
also beneficial. By making
prints in this way the cracks will
hardly be petceptible.
A serviitceaSle chuck for hold
ing drills and Small work can be
made from an old brace. With
a hacksaw cut the chuck off the
brace, leaving almost two inches
of the rod on the chuck. The
rod portion is then heated,
Strengthened out, and turned up
true. Then drill an old lathe
centre to receive the rod portion
and drive the chuck in. Drill
small hole for spanner wrench,
and the chuck is complete.
Copper minerals are objection
able in cyanidation, because they
consume cyanide, and the copper
which goes into solution inter-
feres with precipitation of the
gold by means of zinc. The use
Of ammonium salts has been re-
commended to prevent this, but
has not received wide application
as yet. In some cases the cheap
est method of treatment for ores
containing copper is the use of
cyanide, but some method Of
precipitation not involving the
use of zinc should then be en-
ployed.
A claim larger than that allow
ed by the statutes is not void,
except in case of fraud or a mis-
take of the grosSest kind that
presumes fraud. Where the pur-
pose was to make the claim of
the statutory size and the error
occurred inadvertently, the claim
is only invalid to the extent of
excess. In the case of a location
notice calling for a stated num-
ber of feet in each direction from
the discovery or location stake,
the bounds of the valid claim can
easily be determined by measur-
ing off the required distance in
both directions along the lode
line, and undoubtedly the locator
can be held to his description,
though in the absence of protests
and adverse claimants he can
elect where the excess shall be
deducted. Where the claim is
not laid out from a specified
point, the locator will have the
right in all ordinary cases to say
from which part of the claim the

WORK ON THE
FAIRBANKS
~ 60 IT..
Will Run a Long Cross cut
Tunnel.

Work has been started on a
long cross-cut tunnel on the
Fairbanks group of claims, sit
uated between Deadwood and
Campbell gulches.
The tunnel will be 300 ft. in
length and will cut three veins.
Between two of the veins is a
porphyry dixie that carries some
values on the surface and it is
proposed to find out if the values
go down. The tunnel will have
considerable depth at the point
it cuts the dixie, and should the
values continue, the work of
opening it up will be- pushed.
The property is owned by w. l..

who have ample capital to carry
on the development work. The
work is in charge of Otto Achord.

SHEEP FEEDING ON PEAS

Great as our past Development has
been, our greater possibilities will
not become realities until we have
learned to choose the shortest path
as to anything else. 1t is with this
thought in mind that we call atten
ton to the feeding of peas to sheep.
Canadian field peas as a sheep RAJ
ton We're first used in the San Luis
Valley in Colorado in the winter of
1902, when about 1000 lambs We're
fed with such success that in the
winter of l9O4-5, 100000 lambs were
fattened in that vicinity.
Under careful feeding 1900 pounds
OF shelled peas, representing about
an average acre crop, should maxi
$50 to 500 pounds of mutton. Where
sheep are simply turned out to for
age, the same amount of peas would
hardly make above 80 to $50 pounds
of mrtton, although if pigs were al
lowed to follow the sheep another
80 pounds Of pork could be secured.
Even though the method of feeding
in the field has two important adj
vantageS, /. e., no cost for harvest
ing, and the manuring of the fields,
it is more profitable to harvest the
peas and feed them from the stack
like alfalfa. This gives the maxim
UNI feeding value from the crop and
the lambs fatten better when con-
fined than when left in the field
There the lambs travel too much,
and on account of their restlessness,
fail to put on the maximum amount
of flesh. Moreover, it is unsafe to
attempt 1eld-feeding, on the account
OF the snow, except in places where
very open winters are enjoyed. 1t
is doubtful whether much advant-
age is gotten by making meal of the
crop as in the case of alfalfa, for
while the would plant will then be
eaten, the woody portions do not
add much nutriment to the ration.
Peas grow best in a high, dry,
cool climate, such as we find in the
higher valleys in Utah and Idaho.
The Strawberry Valley in Utah is a
good example.
Peas may be cheaply grown.
About so pounds to the acre consti-
tutes good seeding. Sowing may
be done with drills and irrigation
should be thoroughly done once at
the beginning of the season. Guilt
walton is preferable, though it is Of
ten omitted. The best soil is one
which will sub-irrigate to some ex-
tent. On account of the fact that
vines have a tendency to recumbent
growth. it is good plan to seed
oats or barley thinly with the peas,
to hold them up. They have an adj
ditiOnal value in that they, like al
falfa and other legumes, enrich the
soil upon which they are grown.
Sheep fed in this manner usually
top the market. for the quality Of
mutton produced in uneXcelled.-

Hay Feeding in Nevada

F. H. Bergman of Newton, Iowa,
who was recently the guest of Charles
l.. Hart, tells an interesting story of
the maner in which stockman feed
their animals in Nevada through the
winter months, without burdning
themselves by purchasing each year
stacks of hay, which in case Of an
open winter may prove to be a bur-
den on them. The system as told
by MIR. Bergman is to the effect that
the hay raisers of the community set
a price of thirteen cents per day per
head for feeding a stockman's ami
mails, no matter whether he feeds a
day or a month. The farmers handle
the feed, and the stockmen the stock
No more hay is purchased than is
necessary for the days feeding ard
the system might not appeal to the
uninitiated, but this system might be
tried out by farmers in this vicinity,
and an effort made to induce stock
men to winter in and around Black
