The mining world has experienced
many unexpected adverse development.
during the past week, the stock mar
kets especially undergoing a period of
severe liquidation due more to the dis.
turbed industrial and labor affairs OF
the Nation than to any inherent ad
verse factors in the mining industry il
self. The reorganization of great cor
porations entails the distribution of
enormous stock holdings in the rails and
indnstrials, and many of these issues
long considered gilt-edged collateral
have, by this process of distribution
lost their identity as collateral. Long
stocks of copper companies as result
have been forced upon weakened mar.
ket to protect other lines.
The situation has inspired pessimis.
tic tendencies everywhere, and the
metal copper market has suffered along
with everything else. 1t is becoming
evident, however, that these rather
blue opinions in regard to copper are
not well founded. Production is be,
ing limited TO the quick, and exports
are being made this month at the rate
Of fifty per cent Of the domestic out
put. There is no reason to expect.
therefore, that the August copper sta.
tistics will be so adverse as predicted
earlier in the month.
Utah mining affairs are undergoing
very quiet period. but there can be no
question that the conditions are being
bettered and cleared up splendidly. In
the smelling of lead ores especially the
situation is at an epoch. making turn
Smelters are forced by competition and
by the lack of high-grade ores to re-
vamp their methods in regard to the
grades Of ore not heretofore considered
Of smelling quality. Instead Of chasing
low-grade silicious lead ores among tho
smelling ores, the ore buyers are more
and more bringing their calculations to
the point Of considering them Huxiug
material, to the consequent betterment
OF the mine owners. As q result ship:

New Hospital at Hermosiilo.

Doctor Bim Smith, the we'll known physician and surgeon, who has been in active practice at Her mosillo some ten years, has estab- lished in that city a private hospi- tai which he will have open for patients, tomorrow, the first of October. For the purpose Doctor Smith has leased the Cubillas resi- denCe, a large house of fourteen rooms, on Calle Jalapa, near the Carmen Chapel, which he has fitted with all the latest and most con- plete appliances for use along the lines of such an institution. In bis work Doctor Smith will be assisted by Miss Adams, a most competent trained nurse, who will have as many competent assistants as the service will require.
 The new departure noted Doctor Smith has found necessary to meet the requirements of his large and constantly growing practice, and will make the new institution one of the best, most complete and most thorough anywhere on the West Coast.

Johnson Grass Grows Beets.
Arizona Democrat.

Johnson grass is good for some thing after all. Sugar beets do much better on land where a heavy growth of Johnson grass has been plowed under than on any other soil. Moreover, beets will kill out the grass.
 So says Ralph Murphy, one of the most successful farmers in the valley. Since he learned what good fertilizer Johnson grass is for beet land and how easy it is to kill it off, he regards the grass more as a blessing than a pest. Any alarm over the in-roads of Johnson grass is unwarranted he says. Merely plant sugar beets, the most profit able crop grown in the Salt River valley, where the Johnson grass appears. A heavy crop of beets

and the death of the grass will be the result. Johnson grass roots and stalks, rotting in the ground, make the best fertilizer in the world for beets," said Mir. Murphy. "In fact, old alfalfa or Johnson grass land is required for the most successful production of sugar beets. If l had my choice of q piece of raw land and a tract GOV. cred with Johnson grass, l would choose the latter.
 Flow under the Johnson grass early in the season and drill in the beet seed. The grass grows little in the winter and the usual culti- vation of the beet plants will keep down most of the shoots. Culti- vation continues up to within two or three weeks of the harvest.
 "When the beets are pulled and the tops pastured off, put the land into some other crop, such as corn. This course will get rid of nearly all the Johnson grass the first year and all of it the next. l know, because l have tried it successfully It is the only way that 1 have ever been able to devise that will keep down the big grass. It will crowd out alfalfa or pretty nearly any thing else, but beets and cultivation get the best of 1t.
 You can always tell the differ ence between beet field fertilized with Johnson grass and one that has not been thus enriched. l had a forty-acre field with a streak of Johnson grass across it. All the season 1 could tell where that streak was because the beets were so much larger and finer there" MT. Murphy is firmly convinced that beets are the most certain and profitable crop that can be grown in the Salt River valley. The market is sure and there is absolute. 1 ly no danger of crop failure. No insect pest that attacks the sugar beet has appeared in this country. The average beet crop in the valley this last season was fourteep tons an acre, and the Southwestern Sugar < Land Company paid $5 a ton anywhere in the valley. The cost of growing and harvesting an acre of beets is between $90 and $40, so the profits in no instance were less than $50 an acre.
