About thirty years of active con- tinuous operation. the great gold mines at La Dura. Sonora, owned by the Mines Company of America, have closed down tight, and it will cost a vast amount of money to again start up. Last evening party of Amerl- cans who have for long time been Tn the employ of the big company. ar rived in the city from La Dura, via Minas Prietas, and today will continue on north. Those in the party were E.. A. Butler. w. B. Simpson, l.. Kat chfe, and Dr.. McConnell. Guilermo Gutierrez, brotherin-law of Mr.. Butler, also accompanied the party. The young man goes to the states to enter school. The closing down of the great gold mine at La Dura is the result of the unsettled conditions in Mexico at the present time. Hun- dreds of MeXcans as well as Ameri- cans are thrown out of work and the company will suffer great loss.- Border Vidette.

Shattuck shipped app roximately POO tons of copper ore last month that averaged fl per cent copper and 35 ounces silver to the ton. It is under stood that it has between 1000 and 10 900 tons of ore of this remarkably high grade developed in the property. It is copper glance threaded with nal achte and is as beautiful as 1t is rich. Until Calumet x Arizona's new smell ter went into commission their con- pany was not prepared to handle this very high grade ore from the Shat tuck and some 450 or 800 tons was broken and accumulated in the stopes. It has been estimated that there are 1000 tons of this ore in one compact body between the 300 and 4OO.foot levels. The September production of the Shattuck Arizona company was about 100000 pounds of copper, the average of all the ore shipped during the month being 1 per cent higher than in August The usual output of 25O or 26O tons of copper ore daily is being maintained, and in addition six cars of 300 tons per week of lead-slver ore is being shipped to El Paso. New development work in the mine is op- ening up good ore at many points, Bisbee Review.

The Superior X Boston is keeping up its shipment of little better than three carloads of ore to the Fl Paso smelter daily, and the probability is that the shipments will continue to in crease as the slze of the $50 level stope becomes larger.
 The most interesting phase of the Superior X Boston's program of de- velopment IS the plan thoroughly to explore the faulted ground eastward from the main workings by diamond

200 Mules Loaded With Bullion

Travelling amid the perils of war and revolution with pack train Of 200 mules on which was loaded the largest shipment of silver bullion ta- ken from Sonora since the war begun, and believed in value to be nearly 800, ,OOO$. A. B. Richmond, well known mining engineer of Tucson, arrived safely in Hermosillo two weeks ago, and after paying the tax on the bullion shipped it by way Of Nogales to San Franci co. MT. Rich mond is at present with his family on South Fourth avenue, Tucson, and does not expect to return to Mexico for the present.
 As field engineer for the company owning and operating the Dolores sll- yer mine in western Chihuahua, MT. Richmond decided that it was useless to longer operate the mine amid the dangers of war, and got ready to make the attempt to bring out the accumu- lated bullion from the rich mine. Two hundred mules were loaded with the precious metal and with D Mexicans and 6 Americans Richmond started or his perilous journey. - Tom bstone Prospector.

 F. Mclean arrived at Wickenburg Tuesday morning, and is getting ready to sink at least two hundred feet in the old shaft of the Black Rock, Ltd. This was considered to be one of the big low grade gold propositions of the district, since the surface shows an immense tonnage of decomposed granite carrying from one to four dol lars in gold. As matter of fact there are several large hills of this decom- posed granite, all of it carrying more or less gold, the most encouraging values, howeuer, coming from the bottom of the shaft. which is about a couple of hundred feet deep. The property has been handled in the past like a great many others where all of the money has been spent on top of ground instead of below. There has been practically no development done on the property since 1902 when Mir. Mclean put down the present shaft. The work done since then consisting of surface tunnel and the building of a mill and several houses. It is pleas. ing to note that Mir. Mclean is an ardent believer in deep mining in this country, and under his management along these lines it is quite probable that big things will happen at that camp especially since it is learned that the last ore taken from the bot tom of the shaft shows remarkable values in silver. copper and gold Mir. Mclean is authority for the state. ment that he himself took the sample across the bottom of the shaft, which after being assayed by three ditferen, eastern assayers, averaged up better than PTS per ton, the highest values beirg in copper and silver.- Wicken burg Miner.

Consolid ated Copper Mines.

The Ora claim of the Giroux com pany, which is now a part of the Con- solidated Copper mines company, and which was brought into the limelight recently by the accidental discovery of a large deposit of sulphide ore, seems to be full of surprises, says the Ely Gazette.
 Since the discovery was made, the Ora has supplied 1000 loAs of ore daily for the Steptoe concentrator, whlch has been mined by steam shovels while working on right of way for a railroad line into the Liberty Pit of the Nevada Consolidated.
 The ore was of remarkably good grade, averaging better than ? per cent copper and was therefore consld- cred one of the greatest discoveries ever made in the district.
 One Gay last week the Ora sprung a new one on the management when the steam shovels commenced to scoop up ore that was literally full of native copper and heavy black sulphides, many specimens of which would aver age better than 50 per cent.
 The overburden, which is very light in that section, also showed much na- tive copper and some of 1t was there' fore treated as ore instead of waste.
 It would be difficult to estimate the value of the new discovery, but much of It Is very rich, and will therefore materially aid in increasing the gen. sral output of the company for the present month. Within few days after the discovery was made about 10000 tons of ore was taken out anc sent to the concentrator.
 Native copper ore has several times been found in the Copper Pit of the Nevada Consolidated. but never ir such large quantity as that recently discovered in the Ora, nor of sucf high grade.
 Aside from this rich ore, which may or may not, prove of great importance in the output of the property, the Or; is developing remarkably well, ant from the present indications, is one o the most important discoveries eve made in the Ely district.
 It unquestionably means the bring ing in of another large steam shove proposition, which will extend eye beyond the confines of the Ora clain and will add many million tons o commercial ore to the available sup ply of the district.

LARGE ACREAGE RESTORED
Six Million Acres of Withdrawn Lands
Restored to Entry.

Six million acres of withdrawn pub
lie lands were restored to entry dur
ing the months of May and June upon
approval by the secretary of the inter
ior of the recommendation of the
United States Geological Survey. This
action was the result of examination
and classification of the lands by the
survey, those restored either having
been found not to be valuable for pow
er sites, reservoirs, coal, phosphate, or
potash deposits, or having been de-
finitely valued as coal lands, and rem
dered available for purchase under the
coal-land law.
OF these lands relieved from coal
withdrawal nearly 21a million acres
were in the state of Colorado. Five
and a half thousand acres were also
withdrawn in Colorado as water-power
sites.
In Idaho 100000 acres of coal and
phosphate Withdrawals were CLASH
fled and restored, and for water-power
sites approximately 10000 acres were
withdrawn and about the same acre
age restored.
In Montana 100000 acres were re-
stored as being mountaineering and
about 1000 acres as not valuable for
water-power sites, while about $50
acres were withdrawn for that pur-
pose.
In North Dakota nearly 100000
acres in coal withdrawal were CLASH
fled and restored.
In Oregon approximately $4,000
acres were restored as nonoil-bearing
lands and about 10000 acres were
withdrawn for water-power or reset :
yoir sites.
In South Dakota over 100000 acres
were relieved from the coal withdraw
al
In Utah about 1900 acres were with
drawn for water-power sites.
In Wyoming over $4,000 acres of
coal Withdrawals were re-opened to
entry and purchase; approximately
$1,000 acres were withdrawn for elias

The ferns are also of unusual beau
ty and can be pressed with as much
success as the flowers and combined
with the latter in most artistic effects.
1t is work that requires special
knowledge and skill which, however,
is not difficult to acquire. Should one
with the requisite experience estab-
lish this industry in Jarbidge it would
result not only in bringing eventually
many thousands of dollars into Ne
vada, but would give the state much
effective advertising. For one with a
love of the rare and the beautiful

without desiring to come and view
them where they grow.

NEVADA WILD FLOWERS
Could be Utilized to Found an Import
ant Industry.

In discussing the advisability of ad-
vertising to bring new people to the
west we are frequently met with the
assertion that we must first provide
something for them to dO--that "one
cannot live on climate" and otherwise
G.. observations. The writer has al
ways disagreed with this view, know
ing that if the right sort of people are
appealed to, and are induced to come,
they will not only take care of them
selves but will often take advantage OF
opportunities overlooked by those who
have lived here longer, in the exploit
tation of which they will give employ
ment to others as we'll as themselves.
Other places, not so favorably en-
dowed by Nature, have proven the
truth of this assertion and it is not a
matter of mere personal opinion.
AS an illustration: The making of
wild flower books" is an industry
from which thousands of dollars have
been made in Colorado, and healthful
employment has been afforded more
than a few. The beautiful flowers
that grow in the mountains and can
yons of the higher attitudes, if pro-
perly and skillfully pressed, retain all
their beauty and delicacy of color for
an indefinite time. When mounted on
cardboard or heavy paper and made
into books, they make beautiful SOU
venirs that are eagerly snapped up at
fancy prices by tourists and others.
They can also be mounted on heavier
cardboard, covered with glass, franz
ed and hung on the wall, oftentimes
being much more artistic and beauti-
full than the paintings of more or less
pretentious artists
The vicinity of Jarbidge offers a
field for this work that possibly can
not be excelled elsewhere, Some who
read the writer's recent article on the
wild flowers of this section may have
thought it was press agents story
and possibly exaggerated. Since its
publication he has received a letter
from DR.. Aven Nelson, of the Univer-
sity of Wyoming, the only botanist of
note who is known to have visited this

latlon and manufacture is interesting-
~ shown in the statistics of coal pro
auctlon IN Alabama. According to the
returns the quantity of coal made into
coke decreased from 4,417,443 tons in
I9lO to 3,129,332 tons in 1911 and to,
1,9lb,4I4 tons in 1912, whereas the ac-.
tual quantities of coal made into coke.
IN the state were 5,272,322 tons in 1910
4,4ll,29S tons in 1911, and Ass 9S
TONS IN 1917. The reason for this an
parent discrepancy lies in the fact that
III the TWO later years the proportion
OF coal made into coke in by-product
ovens has materially increased and as
tnose ovens are located at the blast
furnaces or in or near the larger CIT
les, the coal shipped to them apDears
as part of the product loaded at the
mines for shipment" and not as coal
made into coke at the mines. The
quantity of Alabama coal made into
coke in 1912 at points distant from the
mines was nearly one and a half times
that made at ovens near the mines.
Coal mining in Alabama in 1912 gave
employment to 22,613 men for an ay
erage of 245 days, against 22,7O7 men
for 227 days in 1911. The average pro-
duction per man in 1912 was 712 tons
against 662 tons in 1911, but the aver
age daily production per man was
lower in 1912, 291 tons against 8 tons
IN 1911. Most of the mines in Ala
bama are operated 10 hours a day.
The production by machines increas-
ed from 2,936,512 tons in 1911 to g.
142,549 tons in 1912. There were 1853
machines in use in 1912, an increase of
81 over 1911.
or the Alabama production not
mined by machines, 5,65S.459 tons
were mined by hand. There were ~
1921 tons of coal washed in 1912.
yielding 6,325,946 tons of cleaned coal
and S61,265 tons of refuse. A large
part OF the washed coal is used for
coke making.
According to the United States Bur-
eau of Mines there were 121 fatal acct
dents in the Alabama coal mines in
1912, decided improvement over 1911.
when the aggregate fatalities were 2O9.

FILTERS DO NOT REMOVE GERMS

Ciisterns that are properly con-
structed and receive rain water from
roofs generally afford water of good
sanitary quality, but if water of doubt
full quality is stored in cisterns the
supply is OF course not safe for do
festic use. Filters used in connection
with cisterns are of value in making
the water clear but are generally of no
value in removing disease germs.
Many cisterns are divided into two
parts by brick wall, the water being
admitted into one compartment and
drawn from the other. In such els
terms the water passes through the
brick and in that way is improved in
clearness and color, but not generally
in sanitary quality.-U. S. Geological
