VETCH, ALFALFA SUBSTITUTE.
Utah Farmers Will Use 1t in Fields
Ruined by Weevil.

Utah alfalfa growers have been hit
pretty hard by the alfalfa weevil, and
many an acre OF hay has been utterly
ruined. while the hay from that local
ity has been barred from export to
other States.
The Salt Lake Telegram, in re
sumo of the condition OF things, says:
William Wcever. who owns a farm
on State street. just below Twelfth
South, was in the city exhibiting win
ter vctch. mammoth red clover and
alfalfa and showing the contrast be
tween these plants. The winter vetch
sample shown by Mr. Weever is even
is trailing. vine-like plant, and the
now four feet long 1t is legumn-
ous plant and makes a good quantity
Of excellent feed for all classes of do
mestic animals. 1t is the best sown
III the fall with fall rye. and when
sown in this way it should be seeded
at the rate ftwo bushels of vetch
and one bushel of rye per acre.
Mr.. Wcever claims that the sam
pies shown have never been irrigated
and that il grows on well drained soil
lie thinks that the plant is well adapt
ed to dry lands The plant is now at
full bloom and at the right stage for
harvestinp-at least ten days earlier
than alfalfa.
Mr.. Weever also has on exhibition
some mammoth red clover that is
much more advanced in growth than
is the alfalfa. There have been several
hundred acres of of alfalfa land in Salt
Lake county plowed up and seeded
to mammoth red clover. and the farm
crs are iubilant over the prospects OF
good forage crop wherever this has
been done. The ravages OF the alfalfa
weevil in some sections has made IT
advisable to adopt some cron in place
Of alfalfa. and Mr. Wcever feels that
in the vetch and clover he has found
excellent substitutes.

RESUME OF MINING OPERATIONS
IN THE DISTRICT FOR PAST WEEK

There is not much new to relate re
garding properties in the district this
week. All of the big ones are ship
ping their usual quota OF ore to the
smelter and the smaller ones are get
ting ready to be shippers of import
ance. There is no lull in work
throughout the whole district
The most important item of news
this week is that OF the condition of
the Smith Valley Mines Co. which fol
lows:
Smith Valley Mines Co.-The Smith
Valley Mines Co. 5 property, III smith
Valley, is showing uD to be one OF the
big things in the district, and as de
Veiopment progresses is responding
literally not only in size but i'll values.
The main shaft has reached depth OF
loU feet at the present writing. At a
depth of 100 feet from the surface a
cross-cut was started from the shaft
to cut the vein, aud the vein was en-
countered within eight feet of the
shaft. Drifting was then started both
north and south on this vein and the
north drift went into an ore shoot at
a distance of twelve feet from the
cross-cut AT the present writing this
drift is in distance of 80 feet, all i'll
ore and full breast of ore in the
heading. A cross cut run to determine
the width OF this vein shows 1t to be
25 feet wide at this writino and still
no hanging wall in sight. A raise has
been started and every pound of ore
is being sacked as it is of too high a
grade to handle carelesslv The whole
body, we are informed, will run $50
in gold and to 6 per cent in copper,
while there is a rich core in the vein
that samples over 800 in gold and "a
per cent in copper The south drift
has reached point about twenty feet
from the cross-cut, and about eight
feet from the cross-cut entered body
OF ore that is equally as good as that
in the north drift. Cross-cuuting on
the lo0-foot level is now in progress
and as soon as hoist in installed
drifting will be pushed north and
south and the ore opened up as rap
idly as possible That this property is
to be one of the big mines of the dis
trict seems to be an assured fact,

COPPER SHARES.
Lower Than When 1t Reached Its
Maximum in July 1910.

A retrospective view of copper share
values discloses some interesting
market conditions. In July, 1910, after
a severe decline in the market which
carried stocks to extremely low fig
ures. representing the enormous de
probation of approximately $3O0,0O0,-
GOO from their previous high quota
ton, thirty-four of the most import
ant copper stocks then selling in the
market. averaged $4Sll 1t was ex-
actlv at this date that the worlds
visible copper surplus reached the
greatest figure ever recorded. or 40l,-
2499 pounds, and copper was sell
ing at l2,37c. per pound
These identical copper stocks now
average $42S6 or more than five
points below the figure recorded in
July, 1910 Moreover, the worlds Wis
ible supply of copper metal at the
present time amounts to 2O8,S2o,O52
pounds. or slightly over half of that
shown on the above date in 1910, and
the metal is selling at SC. per pound
or nearly &c above the former figure
The surplus copper stocks in 1910 of
40l ,249,9 ,967 pounds represented APP
proximately seventy days supply
based on the worlds consumption for
that wear. while the present copper
stocks are equivalent to but thirty
three days computed on the 1912
worlds consumption
1t will be seen from the above that
copper stocks are now selling much
lower that at the time of the severe
break in July 1910. despite the fact
that the copper situation is in much
stronger position
