Experience at the Moccasin expert

farming to take about three successive
crops after breaking. After that sum-
mer fallow doubles the crop. Far bet
ter results are obtained after the third
year from breaking by alternating
crop and fallow. The results at Moe

Denver-Mining conditions through
out the Etate show decided improve
ment. according to Thomas r. Hena-

has just finished an extended tour. He
reports the Pine River district. forty
miles northeast OF Durango as unus-
ually promising. Test assays have
been sent out. one Of 100 pounds
net showing eight per cent copper and
18O ounces of silver. Another showed
forty per cent in copper. The Pine
River district is about six miles wide
and thirty miles long. Development
work there will be done during the
winter by local companies. In the La
Plata district fourteen mines on Lewis
mountain have been sending out
small shipments during the summer.
The ore, which Is sylvanite. is OF high

STATE GETS BACK 10000 ACRES
Tyrone and Blue Mountain Companies
Hit BY Land Board Campaign.

Denver.-Iwo more Carey act pro-

200, 900 acres back to the state az q
result of the campaign started by the
new State Land Board to collect de-
purchase. The second requirement
that all promoters appeay before the
board and make proof OF work done
on the project has scared others and
it is believed that fully half million
acres of good land will be returned to
Colorado before the board cleans up
the tangles in the department.
The Tyrone Canal Company of Las
Animas county has surrendered $4,000
acres reserved for its project.
This company was capitalized for
81 900, 900. but owing to litigation over
the Seven Lakes reservoir site. has
been unable to start work on Its pro-
ject. No money has been collected on
it's contracts. The new board requires
that promoters forfeit their rights to
segregated lands when no work is done
to improve the property.
The Blue Mountain Canal Company.
which has a pending application for
$4,000 acres of lapd in Rio Blanco
and Rourt counties, has sent notice
that 1t will abandon its project and
dissolve as corporation.
The Park Floral Company was for.

stead of hydrogen. ah airship Of the
same lifting capacity would have .
total length of a trine over 200 feet
and its maximum diameter would be
considerably less than twenty feet.
In the place of gas bags holding 700.-
900 cubic feet of hydrogen its con-
tainers would have within them but
$4,000 cubic feet Of the lighter gas.
The smaller airship would obviously
be cheaper to construct. speedier
and more manageable. 1t would be
able to stay afolt longer and sail
further. The best of the Zeppelins
have remained aloft about thirty-nve
hours. and this is suggestive Of what
the more mobile smaller and swtfter
airship could do when sustained by
means of coronium.
There is another phase Of aero
nautics In which co-nium would be
of great value. Meterorologists have
been reaching ever higher into the
atmospheric zones in their endeavor
to determine the conditions that pre-
vail there. Sounding balloons charged
with hydrogen have been used to take
temperatures at different heights up
to fifteen miles. Could coronium be
used instead OF hydrogen the ocean
of air could be penetrated great
deal further and possibly astonishing
information would be obtained.
One remarkable discovery has al
ready resulted from the use of sound
ing balloons. Theoretically the tenn
7, perature of the air falls one degree
Fahrenheit for approximately every
800 feet Of ascent, and this rate Of re-
duction was supposed to 90 on reg
uraly. 1t IL now established that
within the lower two miles of the
atmosphere this rule II frequently re-
versed. Above this, however. there
is more regularity. Formerly It was
supposed that this went on unbroken-
ly until the cold of distant space was
reached, something In the neighbor.
hood of absolute zero.
When the sounding balloon records
were accumulated one Of the first facts
apparent was that at height. gener-
! ally OF something like six miles. the
temperature actually ceased to fall
and even tended to rise. This con-
tinues to be, the case as far a. the
sounding balloons have gone afolt.
This zone of comparatively mild tenn
perature is also apparently a region
Of relative calm. but we do not yet
know how far heavenward this stra-
tum extends.
SO far consideration has been given
only to the services that coronium
may fill for man because of Its light
ness, but who shall say that there
are not other ways in which 1t may
act helpfully? IT is the unsuspected
properties Of radium that have proved
of the utmost value since its discov.
