BIG SHIPMENTS
OF ALFALFA SEED
Growing Of the Seed Proves
Profitable to Ranchers
Near Ontario.
(Staff Correspondence.)


Ontario, Dec. 5.-Between $4,000
and 100000 pounds Of alfalfa seed
grown this year in the Ontario vicin-
ity has already been shipped east to
St. Paul. Minneapolis. Milwaukee and
Chicago. the average price paid here
for this seed being l2h cents per
pound.
The demand IN the big eastern mar
kets for alfalfa seed grown in the
intermountain country is large, and
seems to be steadily on the increase.
The alfalfa seed growers in this vi
cinity need have no fear Of over-pro-
duction of alfalfa seed. Il Is true that
in the eastern states such ~ Iowa,
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. etc, that
the growing of alfalfa for hay is being
made q success. But It 10 absolutely
impossible to grow alfalfa seed back
there. for the reason that the cli-
matic conditions are too unfavorable
to produce seed. II u necessary, I'M
order to erow Alfalfa oeed, 10 produces
It In sections whore It 10 hot and dry.
where water II supplied through irri-
cation. The climatic conditions In
this section Of the Snake river valley
are = . rule very favorable for the
|succeasful and profitable production o.

section are alive to the situation, and
are SWING more and more of their

Nome Cooperative Mining Scheme Which Once Failed Has Como
 to Life Again

] A. II. Moore, of the Moore De- lvclopment company, a co-Opera- tive mining concern of Nome, who
 was recently arrested and tried in the federal courts for fraud, in connection with that deal, it
 having been alleged by the gov
 ernment that he caused many peo- Iple to go to Nome and work on
 the property and were left there stranded and were compelled to
 live upon berries and whatever they could find, and who was sub- lscquently acquitted of the charge,
 has returned to the northern camp with a complete outfit to work the Icompany's ground. A local Nome Inaper says:
 E>EIhe schooner with Moore, help ers, freight and equipment on board arrived in the roadstead to- day and will proceed 10 Hastings and discharge it's cargo as soon as the surf goes down.
 The Moore Development com pany got started wrong several
 years ago and only recently was
 MT. Moore able to get upon his
 feet again and start anew. With
 the freight and machines there aEanany helpers to carry on the EwofKof completing the ditch and exploiting tho property the com pany owns down toward Hastings.

John A. lIazelcit has just come
 Ill from the Chisna, where he has been prospecting the placer
 ground owned by himself and as sociatcs, with Keystone drill. TOT cours" MT. IlaZclcti would not say what tn" results of his pros
 p"ciing has been, buf We may judge that it has been saIisfas- tory from the fact thai hr will ir"ntinur the work nryf srasnn. This year he built wagon road
 from thc mouth of the creek to his workings. a distance of 10 miles, besides prospecting a large area of ground.
 MT. llaZrlctl will winter his horses in Valdez, finding it. cheap CT than to winter them at Chitina. He reports great activity this year Tn his vicinity. there being .-ever- al large outfits at work in that district which eventually will pro- duce much gold. He believes that were wagon road built into that section tapping the government road in the vicinity of Paxsons, it would result in the rapid develop ment of large area of hydraul- ic ground.
