GENITAL IDAHO'S
GOLD OUTPUT
Map of Central Idaho Showing
Gold Production.

OO4O Il L LONAItSO O1OA3s
The Elk City Mining News has
recently issued and distributed a
map of the central Idaho district
which is termed Americas FL
Dorado. The map was prepared
by Reuben McGregor, mining
engineer, who has been in the
central Idaho district for the
past Is years and has givenmuch
time to the compilation of data
showing the gold production from
the various districts. The de-
velopment Of the district is ex-
pected to follow the construction
of the Pittsburg & Gilmore rail
road down the Salmon river.
During the early mining acti-
vities large placer fields were
worked in the several camps and
the total gold production is given
as $500, 900, 900. The separation
by districts is as follows:
Harpster- $500. 900 placer gold.
Florence-S80, 900, 600. placer gold
$500, 600.
Newsome-$5, 100000 placer gold
5000, 900 gold quartz.
Buffalo Hump 81, 900, 900 gold quart;
Old Espey mines $3.50, 900 gold quart,
Elk City -$2O, 100000 placer gold
$3.50, 900 gold quartz.
Warrens -$62, 900, 900 placer; $1,000,
900 gold quartz.

Big Mogul Shows Some
High Grade.
y DEVELOPMENT THAT COUNTS
Claims Are Well Situated for
Cheap Mining.

Recent development work on
the Mogul group Of claims, has
uncovered some very high grade
silver ore, which carries good.
gold values.
Assays of samples taken from
the vein gave value of $83.62 in
gold and silver, and in one in
stance, 244 ounces of silver was
obtained.
The Mogul group is situated
about one mile south of Elk City,
and is owned by R. Greckwell.
The claims are so located that a
side claim runs to American
river, where there is good mill
site and water power. From
the river side a good tunnel site
could be had and considerable
depth gained in driving to the
vein. 'e
The development work at pres
ent consists of a tunnel in 26O 1T.
and a shaft down 400 it. with a
cross-cut into the vein Il it.
At this point the vein is much
shattered and the pay ore is con-
fined to some three or four feet
of the vein. The tunnel has
been driven which cuts the vein
a little below the shaft and is
now in beyond the shaft. In the
face of the tunnel there is at
present about three feet of good
ore, and it seems to be making
ore very fast. The tunnel is in
apparently beyond a break IN the
vein which shows on the surface,
and the vein is getting more
solid and seens to be straighten-
ing up. 1t is the intention tc
drive the tunnel some distance
further, when it will be into the
rich ore shoot shown on the sur
face, before making any more
cross-cuts.
The vein has an easterly an(
westerly strike, and is a very
large and strong vein on the sur
face, showing several rich or
shoots, that can be opened up b,
the tunnel that has already beel
started. This tunnel has beer
connected with the shaft so ther
is good ventilation, and no trouble
will be experienced in working a
the ground is now getting SO tina
very little timbering is required
The ore is of a character that i
Is adapted to concentration, ant
both the gold and silver conten
can be saved.

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
Accidents are more common
on night shift than on day shift,
and it has been proposed that
the midnight shift, in particular
be forbidden. The Royal Com
mission on Mines in New Zea-
land, which investigated the
matter, came to the conclusion
that night work in mines, as
elsewhere, may be more detri-
mental to men than the day shift
but not so as to warrant us in
making any recommendation
thereon.
Where a broad vein apexes in
breadth, partly upon each of the
adjoining claims, that is, when
the joint boundary line of the
claims splits the apex, the ex-
tralateral rights go to the senior
locator. The locator has the.
right to follow the vein to- which
he has extralateral rights into
the ground of all mineral loca-
tions and entries, whether pat
ented or not, whether of an earl
ier or later location than his own;
but he must follow the vein from
his own ground.
Geysers are hot-water fount-
aims. They occur only in vol
canic rocks. In Iceland and New
Zealand the volcanic fires are
still active. According to w. H.
Weed, geysers occur along lines
of drainage, on shores of lakes,
or in other situations where met
eoric waters that have not pene-
trated to great depths but have
been heated by ascending vapors.
The supply of heat is derived
from great masses of lava slowly
cooling from a former state of
incandescence, heating waters
which, defending to the hot rocks
ascend as highly heated vapors.
The intermittent spouting of
geysers is due to the gradual
heating of water accumulated in
! assures or tubes in the rocks, the
only mechanism necessary being
a tube, which may or may not
have local expansions or cham
hers.

Looking at American Eagle

Alexander Sharp, manager of
the First Thought mine, at
Orient, Wash, has been in the
district the past week, making a
hurried examination of the hold
ings of the Rio Tinto company.
Besides their own property the
company hold a bond on the
American Eagle and Fish Hawk
groups, and it is understood that
work will start on this property
in a few weeks.

What Are Your
Cows Doing?
BY r. c. Jones, Assistant Pro-
lessor Of Oairying, Montana
Agricultural College.

+ + i. i! + !. i. + i. i. + j. + !. j. + j.
If you are farming for a business
questions:
1. Are you a money maker or a
money loser?
z. Are you making a profit or eat
ing the profit made by some other
COW?
3. How much milk and batter fat
do you produce?
4. How much feed are you eating?
5. What feeds enable you to pro-
duce butter fat at the least cost?
In order to answer these questions
you must weigh the milk from your
cows daily and test it at least once a
month. 1t will take about one-half
minute extra per day to weigh the milk
and record the weight, and one hour
each month for the testing. The test.
ing outfit will cost about IS. Now we
will e what is to be famed by this
extra work.
One farmer had eleven cows which
averaged him a net profit Of $11 per
year the first year he kept his record.
He found that six of them made a
profit of $27 each for the year and the
other five a loss of $500 each. If he
had disposed of the five poor ones his
profit would have been $162 instead OF
1921 and he would have had only about
one-half the work. A great many Mon.
tana dairymen could reduce their
herds one-half land the labor and cap.
ital as welD and still be making lar.
ger profits.
1t also enables one to keep the of.
spring from the best cows and thereby
build up his herd and make it more
productive.
1t takes the element of "guess" out
of the dairy business and puts the cow
on her own merits.
Suppose it costs $40 a year to keep
a COW. One COW gives $50 pounds OF
butter and another 300 pounds. If the
butter sold for 30 cents the first COW
would make a profit of IS and the sec.
ond a profit of $50. In other words,
the second COW would net her owner
as much as ten cows like the first
would, take up one-tenth as much
room, and require one-tenth the time
for care and milking. BY testing, sell
ing your poor cows, and breeding from
the best, you can reach the 300-pound
mark in a few years.
If you feel that you cannot spare
the time to weigh every milking
weigh the milk from each COW one day
each month and test a sample of it
If you multiply these results by the
number of days in the month you will
arrive approximately at the months
production. The feed you can treat
in the same way.
If you want further information as
to how to test, write to the Dairy De
partment, Agricultural College, Boze
man.

Orchards in Montana.
Fruit Can Be Successfully
Grown in Practically Every
Section Of the State.

+ + + + i. ! !. ]. !. !. j. !. !. !. j. j. j.
Until recently little interest and lit
tie faith in the success of orchards
was to be found in Montana. A few
years ago a pioneer brought to the as.
sembly of the state a few apples
grown in his garden. To show that he
was a good fellow he brought one each
morning and religiously divided it
among the legislators. Today hun
dreds of bearing orchards may be
found and a number of commercial
orchards that furnish full employment
to owner and a force of help.
1t may not be possible for every To-
cality to succeed with orchards, but
We do not know that any will fail and
it is worth while to keep on trying.
Apples are being produced now where
a few years ago there was no expecta.
ton of doing so. The only way to find
out is to keep trying and studying and
observing the experience of others.
It is certain that some of the earlier,
harder varieties are more successful
than others. Such sorts as the Ouch
ess, Wealthy, Gano, Wagner, etc., are
most certain to succeed. Planting and
culture methods are important factors
In making trees live. Ground should
be thoroughly prepared for a year be-
fore planting trees. No time is gained
by planting before the ground is ready.
Plant before buds start In spring, a
little deeper than the trees stood in
the n1lrCorV Firm tho oor<h n wof,,1
ly about the roots, but leave two
inches of surface soil loose. Cultivate
religiously during the first two seasons
so as to keep weeds down and the
top soil loose. Don't irrigate too much
or too late. Trees may be successful
ly grown without irrigation.
Home grown fruit tastes better and
often means having fruit when you
would otherwise go without.-F. s. G.

there. We have ne assurance hat we
will have more rain right away; that
there will be enough to ripen the crop,

SOME WINTER
FADS AND FANC|ES
Rows Of Marrow Fh||s Worn Oh
Smart neckWear.

In place Of the wide lounce which
edged the fchu when it was in fashion
years ago there now appears a very
narrow lace frill. tightly gathered,
three rows sometimes being employed
as a finish. To give an approximate
amount of material, a yard and a half
Of a double width plain brussels net is
required for the fchu and two yards
and a quarter Of lace to form one row.
A few rosebuds made from satin rib
bon fasten the fichu in front. It is
worth noting that on the newest f1chus
the narrowest piping of black velvet or
satin is often introduced on the inner
side. which throws up the lace or fine
material of which it Is made like a
fine st1ppling.
A pair of cuffs made of net and lace
to match are worn with the fchu.
These cuffs are adapted to long or
short sleeves and consist Of about six
inches Of the net OF lace finely plated
and bordered each side with a tiny edg-
ing Of lace, while they are caught in
the middle with a narrow circlet Of
black velvet ribbon finished with a lit
tie bow.
To make one Of the frills which are
worn with the smart tailored frock
fine handkerchief lawn or linen IL the
best material to use This ID very
easily plated, the fold remaining in
place until the article Is laundered,
when the same plating process is re-
peated.
Wide stoles and NUTS are made In
soft ribbon and edged with marabou
or astrakhan fur. A charmingly soft
effect is given to these by a draping of
chiffon over the inner folds. These are
ideal for theater wear and when the
extreme severity Of the winter does
not force Us to take to our heavier
