LOWER GRADE ORB
IN SWANSEA DRIFT

1t was learned from Tintic Tuesday
that the face OF the drift on the 940-foot
level OF the Swansea on Saturday en-
countered a change Of ore. At first this
was thought to be Of higher grade, but
assays show 1t to be baser. hence the
cause OF the drop in Swansea shares on
the exchange. President Rnight says
that the higher grade ore still obtains
in the. roof of the drift and he thinks
the lower grade ore to be d baser In
trusion that has come into the vein,

Development in Victoria.

At the Victoria the management is
developing the vein and shipping regu-
larly the ore that comes from develop
ment. The work is now being confined
to the 1900 and the third floor above
and in the raise which Is being driven,
II is understood that about nineteen men
are on the payroll and the low grade in
the vein runs from $40 to S12. The COM
pany owns the Snowflake ground, which
was recently purchased and which lies
west of the Eagle &; Blue Bell and north
OF the Chief Consolidated. This area
Is about eleven acres and has a 1000
foot shaft.
1t has been within the last year that
the significance of this ore channel has
been demonstrated, and the companies
operating iu this part Of the district are
now entering their earning period 1t
Is expected by mining men that greater
depth will prove the continuity Of the
ore bodies and give long life to the prop
critics.

Vein characteristics.

The distinctive feature of this ore is
that the values are almost entirely In
silver. carrying some gold, but no lead
and copper to speak OF. On the upper
levels some lead and some copper ores
were found In the past, but the vein car
ries silver and gold at this depth This
same condition has held true I'm the

ter company also reports the finding of
silver ore on the 1000-foot level In the
Granite claim. With the conditions as
outlined for The Tribune and published
Sunday, It IS logically presumed that the

same vein, and hence IL is expected that

The New Stope.

On the t2o0 the vein is quartz, carry
ing low-grade ore and with higher grade
occurring in It. This is characteristic
of this deposit and. while the whole
vein cannot be shipped the high grade
broken down as il occurs makes an ore
that gives good profit About seventy
five feet from the shaft Is where the
silver ore is said to occur. Two ma
chimes are on the THIRD floor above the
1900 driving north on about fourteen
feet Of silver ore. As broken down and
shipped, Mr.. Sullivan says that II will
carry about sixty ounces silver and from
So TO Sl2 in gold although some of the
higher grade carries as much 800 and
800 ounces silver. The only sorting that
Is done is the surface. where some
of the lower grade quartz is thrown
out.
To the north OF this stope on fhe 200
is another which is in low grade orc.
and about 100 feet distant, This Is in
the same vein and the work is directed
so that a connection will be made be-
tween the Slopes. The walls OF the vein
have not vet been found, and while il
Is not expected that the higher grade
ore will be continuous between the
walls, yet 1t is characteristic that the
high grade will occur in punches or
pockets throughout the Vein, On the
1850 some extremely rich ore was en-
countered last spring and since that time
other high-grade has been also opened

PROF. KALBFUS' LETTER.
State zOOlOgiSt Makes an Appeal for
Help in Feeding Our Wild
Birds.

PITY the needy and the help
less these cold days." is an ex-
preston often heard, and some
Of those voicing this sentiment
mean just what they say, and
stand ready to do what they can
for those who may be suffering.
To many men these words are
meaningless, and so long as they
themselves are well fed and
clothed they care not what may
happen to others.
To be wet and cold and starv-
ing is indeed a terrible thing for
any creature, and perhaps there
is some excuse for men who al
most rebel against God when
such conditions are forced upon
them. Have you ever seen men
on the verge of starvation? Have
you ever seen four-footed animals
and birds starving? If not, you
may well bless God for sparing
you this ordeal. | come to you
now in this letter in behalf of the
birds and beg of you to do some
thing for them. They are wet,
and cold, and helpless. The
SHOWS have fallen. The birds
have no stored supplies. They
have no fellows, who better off
than they, might give them even
crumbs from their table. They
have no organized charities to
whom they can turn for succor.
They must have help or they will
surely perish.
Grain scattered for Bob-White
or other game birds, a lump of
suet or fresh pork hung up in
some place where the downy
woodpecker or the kinglet or the
nuthatch may find it; crumbs and
small seeds for the little ground
feeding birds, will surely be ap-
preciated by them in this their
time of need, and will bring to
you return through the life
work of these birds that cannot
be expressed in words or figures.
You may not be able to do much
in yourself, but you can do some
little thing.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH KALBFUs,
Secretary, Game Commission.

Will Raise Fish.

Several Lebanon County farm
ers have taken up the production
of fish as a farming adjunct. A
farm near Bunker Hill, through
which runs the Swatara creek-a a
considerable stream-has bee n
purchased and will be stocked
with bass and other fish. Sever
al springs on the property will be
utilized in developing trout ponds
An association has been formed,
to which has been given the name
of Lebanon Fish Farm Company,
and application will be made for
a charter. Hatcheries will be es
tablished for the purpose of sup
plying private ponds of members
with stock fish. While the main
object of the association is the
furnishing of the members with
fishing grounds, it lis expectd that
it will prove a profitable venture
in the sales made of fish for stock
ing ponds and streams. Two
dams in the Swatara creek will
be constructed at once. The as
sociation shares are $5 each, and
nearly all have been disposed of
to farmers of Lebanon county. -

OctOgenarians.

Last Sunday marked the eight
ieth anniversary of the twin
brothers John and Jacob Gordon,
living near Big Cove Tannery,
and to recognize the event and
to congratulate the boys" a
number of their friends and neigh
bors called, and a nice dinner
was served. Their pastor, Rev.
Powers was present and conduct
ed appropriate religious exercises
in which gratitude was expressed
to God who had been so gracious
to the twins" during their long
life. Those present were: Mr..
and Mrs. John Gordon, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Gordon, Mrs. Marga-
ret Lynch, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Lynch, and their children, Helen
and Maye; Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Gordon, Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmy

A coincidence was the fact that
Luther Gordon was born on the
same day of the same month as
was his father John Gordon, but
AZ years later.

Sabbath Observance.

According to the wishes of the
County Sabbath'Association, the
pastors throughout the County
will devote one Sabbath in Janu-
ary to the discussion of the Sab
bath Day, admonisthing their
people to observe the day in ac-
cordance with Scripture, and in
giving such instruction and ad-
vice to their congregation as may
seem necessary in their respec-
tive localities, That the proper
observance of the day is benef-
cial to mankind, both physically
and spiritually, cannot be denied
if the matter be viewed from no
other standpoint than that of eX-
perience. On last Sabbath Rev.
j. l.. Grove of this place, discuss
ed the subject, basing his re-
marks on what purely scientific
discoveries prove. He showed in
this manner how one day of rest
in seven is physical necessity
so that the restoration of expen-
ded energy may be secured in
order to maintain the proper bal
ance in mans health. He show
ed how scientists have proven
that a day of rest every eight or
ten days will not suffice, and
how one day in less than seven
works equally harmful results.
God in His wisdom, knowing
our frame, appointed one day in
seven to be observed in order
that mans highest physical and
spiritual natures might be devel-
oped. This principle being re-
cognized as good, by both Church
and State, it is very reasonable
therefore, that the letter has suf
fcient grounds for the regulation
of the citizens observance of one
day in seven, commonly called
Sunday.

Sudden Death.

Anthony Thomas, a respecta-
BILE colored man aged about fifty
years died suddenly Tuesd a y
morning. His home was at the
foot of Cove mountain on the
Hunter Road two miles east of
Webster Mills. He worked for
Hoyt Glenn on the Miss Esther
Sloan farm. Leaving his home
early Tuesday morning he went
to Hoyt's and was in the horse
stable with Hoyt currying the
horses when he became sick. He
was taken into the entry, but
died in a few minutes. He had
not been we'll for several days
and death was the cause of heart
failure,

Are Feeding Cattle.

Last fall Big Cove farmer re-
commended that the News ad-
wise its readers to feed the sur
plus grain to cattle-no matter
what the price of the grain. We
have since been watching the
trend of events throughout the
country, and find that many cat
tie were rushed to market, and
the grain sold for cash as the
quickest way to take profits.
This has lead far seeing men to-
believe that fat cattle will be high
next spring, and they are back
ing their reasoning by holding on
to their cattle and feeding to them
the grain that otherwise might
have been sold for cash. One
thing is sure-if manure has a
cash value of an average of 81. so
per ton, these men will have a
large bank account from this
source alone that will insure more
grain for another year.

pullets may lay during the win
ter is proper age. The Rocks
and some others that naturally
begin laying at from six to eight
months must be Matched in Feb
ruary and March. If they are
Matched earlier than this and
raised under fastest growing con
ditions, they will moult early in
the fall and not recover from the
Shock" in time to regain vitali-
ty for winter laying. The only
guide is, that you hatch them in
time to come to full vigor and ac-
tivity just before the cold wealth
er, sets in. If you keep a breed
that natures in A! or 5 months,
let the hatch come in April or
May.
Now then granted that you
obeyed the law of Nature up to
this point, the next step is to
keep the peeps from getting chill
ed for as short time as one min
ute until all danger of cold is
passed. Chicks that have been
chilled will not always die, but if
you will toe mark them so as to
able to trace their history, you
will find that few of them after
wards amount to much; they sell
dom ever pay cost of keep.
After the chicks are hatched,
keep them growing to beat the
band: stunted peeps are as bad
as can be. At all times and es-
pecially as the pullets near the
full feather stage, feed them a
variety of food, always including
best qualities beef scraps, with
an abundance of good waite r

the good rich food hen must eat

this if she is not comfortable ev.

AS the time will soon be here

Hens.

A record or a Hook OF hens kept
at Brookside Farm, gives some
facts that may be of interest tC
many of the readers of tn c
News.
The conditions are a good blue.
grass and timothy range, a shell.
tered southern exposure, a house
divided by a wire partition into
laying and sleeping quarters, and
a rude shed for cold or rainy
weather,
The hens were fed their grain
on the sod during the summer, in
their laying quarters during the
winter, and made to scratch for
it in a bed of leaves.
Their rations during most of
the year 1918, consisted of whole
wheat and corn, with bran and
corn meal fed as a dry mash.
Water and milk were supplied a.
bundantly and were warmed in
in winter. Oyster shells and gra
vel were supplied regularly.
The flock consisted of seven
teen grade Leghorns, which mum
ber was increased to twenty-five
by adding a number of pullets
and disposing of the oldest hens.
Now, as to results: the flock
paid in chickens sold and eaten,
together with the egg product, a
net gain over all expenses of $96.
90.
During the latter part of the
year, the hens were fed in guam
tity about as follows: Wheat and
corn whole in the scratching pen
along with refuse vegetable scrap
as they were made day by day.
In addition to this, the following
mixture was fed as a dry mash,
all the hens would clean up un-
til next feed
Is lbs. corn meal.
10 lbs. bran.
q lbs. oil meal.
12t lbs. beef scrap.
t lb. salt.
The corn, or wheat, was fed
about A O'Clock in the afternoon
according to weather conditions.
The beef is a commercial feed,
is obtained through a supply
house, and costs 81 a hundred.
The average number of eggs
laid per week during December
and January to the present time,
is from three to four dozen.
The above ration is a modifica-
ton of the famous Cornell Ra-
ton.

To Raise More Steers.

Every now and then we hear
of something that inspires the
Agricultural Editor Of the News
to again take up the argument
for more cattle raising in the hill
ly parts of our little, mountainous
county. Having spent m any
years in the western cattle coun-
try, and having studied the sub
ject of cattle raising from actual
practical work, we feel compe-
tent to speak intelligently upon
the subjectas itapplies Tor should
apply to this particular spot.
After years of personal talks
with men, and after repeated ar
ticles in the News, we are still
confronted with the same old ex-
cuse II cannot raise corn to fat
ten them" Men, men, this is
the very reason why we
claim you should raise the steers
we are begging for, that you may
sell them to corn growers who de
pend on others for feeders.
Why are you wearing yourself
out by trying to raise ten barrels
of ear corn to the acre when, by
less than half the work you would
raise all the pasturage and for
age crops necessary to clear you
more money per acre? 1t costs
every cent of $40 to raise ten bar
rels of corn (when that is all you
get per acre. but if those acres
were producing some of the we'll
known forage crops there would
be some profit, minus a four-horse
load of drudgery. Calf raising
will also have to be learned
over" by a lot of people. We
know from experience that many
of our so called mountain cattle
do not bring the same price as
cow-raised calves, where farmers
buy steers to feed over winter.
In the first place, the frame and
constitution is lacking, and a trial
of half a car of these cattle along
side of half a car of western
steers of equal age will convince
any man that our eastern, pot
bellied steers will hardly pay for
the feed they eat, while the 9TH
er pen will show profit. We
know that Fulton county is adapt
ed to raise even better feeders
than "out west" This is why
we feel constrained to keep harp
ing on the subject, for the News
is very much in earnest in its de-
sire to stand for the best things
for the County.

ton, Colo, says they are having
a pretty stiff winter. They have
