GOOD NEWS FROM BULLION

Mr. Davis returned from a trip to
Bullion last night and states that
the Nevada Bunker Hill Mining
Co.'S main working tunnel is now
in a distance OF 2O6O feet. That
half the face of tunnel is scanned
with lead carbonate and occasional
punches Of galena; with every in
dication favora BILE to the opening
of an ore body on the main line of
the tunnel within a short distance.
On the Kerr & Peterson Lease
the ore body is showing up larger
with every days work done upon it.
In the bottom of their main shaft
the ore has width of over twelve
feet between the pnrphry and lime
walls and has been drifted on for
a distance of thirty feet with ore
still in both ends of the drift. They
are pushing work on their camp
buildings, etc, so as to be able to
carry on the work during the win
ter.
Messrs. McCunaghy e. Lewis are
shipping from the Sylvania Mine
and developing a fine body Of ore
in this property at the same time.
Nh Kline has just completed sur

Peanuts in Oklahoma yield from
40 to 200 bushels an acre and in
addition produce from n to two
tons of excellent hay. The hay al
most equals alfalfa. 1t is estimat-
ed that the crop this year will be
worth considerably more than S4,-

The production of peanuts has
started new industries at Duncan,
in Stephens county, where a peanut
oil mill is now in operation, and a
peanut product plant, employing

Stephens county farmers have
realized a net profit OF $50 an acre
from their peanuts. The cost of
planting. cultivating and harvest
ing is practically the same as for
corn, ranging from $3.50 to Sl4
an acre. They resist drought, de.
manding little moisture, and yet
are not injuriouly affected by
heavy rains. They mature in &C
days.
The most profitable way 20 han.
die a peanut crop is to NOV the
hay and bale it for the dairy herd
or the work stock and to hog
OUT the nuts. An acre of nut:
produces $50 to 1900 pounds OF
pork. Since the hay more thar
pays the cost Ct production and the
peanuts being legumes, improve
the soil, the pork produced is {
net profit to the farmers.

NEW RULES APPLYING
TO HOMESTEAD ENTRIES

Hon. Clay Tallmun, commission
err OF the General Land Office has
recently made some new rulings in
terpreting the laws governing the
assignment Of Homestead entries
after final proof. Briefly they are
as follows:
]. An entryman who has not
made final proof in connection with
his own homestead can take an as
signment of another farm unit on
which final proof has hcen made,
if all building and betterment
charges have been paid in connec-
tiUn with the unit he desires to
take by assignment.
2 A reclamation homestead en-
try nan who has submitted final
proof in connection with his own
entry can take an assignment Of
another farm unit upon which final
proof has been made, provided that
all building and bctterment charges
have been paid either IN connection
with his o@n unit, or in connection
with the unit he proposes to take
by assignment. That is, the charges
must have been paid on one or the
other If them.

tryman cannot take an assignment
of a farm until unless all building
and bCtterment charges have been
paid in connection with her hus-
bands farm unit regardless Of
whether ~ not patent has been is

allow a minor child to acquire title
to real estate the minor may pur-
chase a farm unit after patent has
been issaGd and after all building
and betterment charges have been
paid in connection with such farm
unit.
8. The general rule covering
the above cases may be stated thus:
No person or family will be per-
mittcd to own or hold or claim
more than one farm unit at the
same time upon which full payment
Of all building and betterment
charges have not been nude. re-
