Mine Will Be BiglAsset to City When
Opened and Removing Of Overbur-

Steel Corporation May Be De-
vel0ped.

No development work on the Col
umbia open cut mine, located within
the city limits of the city Of Virginia,
which will be operated by the Jones
& Laughlin interests, will be under
taken during the winter or spring Of
1914 as arrangements now stand, &C.
cording to Captain Thomas Walters,
in charge of the development: work
of the Jones & Laughlin interests and
the Interstate Steel company in the
Lake Superior district. The present
lax state of the iron and steel trade
is given as the reason and while TAX
ing an optimistic view of the general
situation Captain Walters stated that
the development of the property
would not be undertaken for the pres
ent at least. Preparations for clear
ing the site are going forward, how
ever.
Captain Walters came to the city
Wednesday and left yesterday noon
for his home at Ishpeming. The
Columbia will be one of the biggest
of the open pits adjacent to the city.
Its ore body is roughly estimated at
five million tons and the removal of
the overburden will probably require
at least two years. Other mining
properties adjoin it and there is a
rumor that these also will be stripped
by the steel corporation and that all
the work will be undertaken at the
same time.
Discussing the general outlook of
the iron and steel business Captain
Walters stated that from present in
dications next season would not be
as big season for ore shipments as
the present, which set a new record
for ore from the Lake Superior
region.
Estimates for the year are some.
what below those of 1913 and there
is a considerable surplus of ore or
hand at the furnaces.
The development of the Columbia
mine will mean much to Virginia a:
it will give employment to large
force of men. 1t had been generally
understood that it would begin dur
ing the present winter, but when j
will commence is now indefinite.

the city disease and death resulted
from inadequate housing conditions,
Mayor Murphy at Tuesday evenings
meeting of the city council made a
vigorous arrangement of conditions
over the city generally and recem-
mended vigorous investigation and
if necessary the drawing up Of
housing ordinance that will have the
effect of abating conditions now said
to exist in several sections of Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Murphy said that complaint
had been made to him of inadequate
housing facilities on certain sections
of Magnolia street, notably in the 200
and 300 blocks. He said there had
recently been developed there several
cases of contagious disease, that there
had been several deaths and he
thought the council should investi-
gate. Furthermore, he advocated an
adequate housing ordinance. Fol-
lowing the meeting he stated to the
newspapers that the matter had been
called to his attention and that he
would favor the adoption of a better
housing ordinance. He said he be-
lieved the time had passed in Vir-
ginia when landlords should be per-
mitted to offer houses for rent, most
of the time at round figures, without
regard to whether or not they were
decently habitable, and regardless of
their sanitary condition. Too many
landlords, he said, were anxious to
get big interest returns on their in
vestments with slight regard to
whether or not the places they Offer
ed for rent were fit to shelter ami
mails, much less humans.
The matter of the conditions on
Magnolia street was referred to the
chairman of the board of health and
there is to be submitted to the coun-
Gil a report at it's next meeting. 1t
is probably also that better housing
ordinance will be presented for adop-
ton.
The matter of having the va rious
railroads connected with suitable
wyes, as provided by state law; was
also taken up. Mayor Murphy stat.
ed that there was every prospect
that large wholesale grocery would
come to Virginia soon and that il
business ventures of this kind were
to be encouraged here it was neces.
sary that provision be made to cut
down the switching charges as much
as possible. The matter Of connect.
ing wyes was taken up by the coun'
Gil during the summer, but so far has
met with no response from the. inter
ested railroad companies. 1t was
referred to committee, who are t.
take it up at once with the represen

The city attorney was instructed
to start ejectment proceeding

Big Land Tracts Back to State.

Denver.-In response to Land Com
missioner Hoggatt's order that all pro-
moters of Carey act projects should
appear before the land board and
make proof of work done on their pro-
jects or should forfeit their rights to
segregated land, the Tyrone Canal
Company of Las Animas county sur
rendered to the state the $4,000 acres
segregated for its project.
This company was capitalized for
$1,000,OO0, but owing to litigation over
the Seven Lakes reservoir site had
been unable to start work on its pro-
ject. No money had been collected on
its contracts.
The Blue Mountain Canal Company,
which has a pending application for
177,0O0 acres of land in Rio Blanco
and Routt counties, sent notice that it
will abandon its project and dissolve
as corporation.

working, occording to an informal
announcement made by Chief Justice
Musser of the Supreme Court to Gov
ernor Ammons.
Undecided as to what they could do
in the matter OF raising and lowering
county assessments, the State Tax
Commission appealed to the Supreme
Court for a decision. II any of the as
SCISSORS object to their assessments, 1t
Is probable that the matter will be
taken to the states highest tribunal
for adjudication.
Under the full cash value law a
question arose as to whether the tax
commission could lower assessments
of some counties when it felt that
other counties were not assessed on a
full cash value basis.
The members of the commission are
preparing to go over the books of FL
nance Commissioner Clair ]. Pitcher.

property in the downtown district of
Denver is listed. The assessor has

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-05-15

There are still few other factors
that enter into the cause of changes
in per cent of fat in cream, such as
cleaning the separator, acidity of
milk, and smoothness of the running
of the separator bowl. The gravity
methods that are sometimes used in
separating milk can not be expected
to give a uniform test in the cream.
The proper cleaning of the separator
after each separation is of great i'm
portance. Cream that is separated
by separators that have not been
washed after each separation, or only
washed once in two or three days, is
dangerous to health and unfit for
buttermaking. The mere running of
warm water through the machine after

change in the richness of the cream,
while great variation in the richness
of the cream is brought about by the
practice of removing the float and
pouring the flush water or skimmilk
directly into the bowl. In the latter
case the machine is not able to handle
the rapid flow so more runs into the
cream, thereby lowering the per cent
of fat.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-05-15

COWS are advanced in lactation, put
on dry feed, and the per cent of fat
is increased. The following table
taken from Bulletin No. $50, Purdue
Agricultural Experiment Station,
shows results of experiments in which
the cream obtained from milk Of
different percentages of fat varied 10
per cent though it was run through
the same separator under normal con-
ditions without changing the cream
screw:
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-05-15
EFFECT OF RATE OF INFLOW
ON RICHNESS OF CREAM.

Every cream separator is limited to
definite capacity, and any machine
is at it's greatest efficiency when the
amount of milk separated per hour is
kept within this definite capacity.
Crowding a separator will give thin
ner cream with a great loss of fat in
the skimmilk. If the rate of inflow
is decreased it results in, first, smaller
amount of cream in proportion to
skimmilk; second, higher per cent of
fat in cream, and third, loss of fat in
skimmiIk not materially affected.
The amount of milk in supply tank
which enters the bowl affects the per
cent of fat in cream. The more milk
there is in the tank, the more rapidly
will the milk flow through the bowl
on account of the greater pressure.
If the tank is kept one-third full the
cream will be thicker than when the
tank is kept brim full. An average
of results of the effect of the rate of
inflow on thickness of cream and on
per cent of fat in skimmilk is shown
in the following table:
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-05-15

The effect of speed of the separator
bowl on the per cent of fat in cream
is probably greater than any other
cause. The higher the speed the
greater the centrifugal force and more
rapidly the skimmilk will leave the
bowl. Thus if the speed is increased
the capacity of the skimmilk outlet
increases, which leaves less milk for
the cream outlet, consequently a
richer cream. Variation in speed
may cause a difference, under ordi
nary conditions, of 5 to 20 per cent in
fat of cream separated the difference
in richness of cream being greater
when machine is set for thick cream
than when for a thin cream. The
table below shows the effect of speed
on variation of per cent of fat in
cream:
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-05-15

A decrease of from to 10 per cent
in fat in cream may be caused by
variation in the amount of flush water
or skimmilk used, ordinarily.

EFFECT OF CHANGES IN TEN
PERATURE OF MILK SEPARAT :
ED ON PER CENT OF FAT In
CREAM.

CREAM.
Milk when drawn from the COW has
a temperature of about 80 to 50 de-
grees F., the best practical tempera-
ture at which to separate it. If the
milk is allowed to cool much lower
than IS to 80 degrees F., as is likely
the case in the winter, the milk
should be warmed up before separat-
ing, thereby avoiding a great loss of
fat in the skimmilk and variation in
the richness of the cream.
Changes in temperature of milk
separated cause a variation ordinarily
from three to four per cent Of fat in
the cream. Variations in fat percent
at different temperatures are shown
in the following table:
