Arizona's Mineral Resources

oul Wy 10 well represented IN
Arizona this year in the investi-
cation of it's mineral wealth and
resources. The output of Ariz-
ona's mines constitutes an i'm
portant feature of the annual
statements of mineral produc-
tion for the United States, and
each year geologists and engine.
ers are looking for new facts to
put into their reports.
The Geological Survey is pri-
marily a field organization, and
its field work embraces studies
of geology, topography and
water-resources. The following
brief outline of the work being
done this season by the Survey
in Arizona will be of interest.
Arizona, in common with other
public land States, is getting a
much larger share of attention
from the Geological Survey than
some of the older states of the
East, on account largely of the
need of information for the class
ification of the public lands which
is in progress. Although little
geological work has been done
In the State during the present
season, it is expected that F. L,
Ransome will visit the Miami
and Ray copper districts next
spring to complete the Gata for
his report on the geology of the
copper ores. He will probably
also do some reconnaissance work
with view to the preparation of
a general report on the geology
and ore deposits of Arizona.
This work however, will not be-
completed for two or three years
at the earliest During the winter
+. G. Schrader will examine the
lands of the Colorado River In
dian Reservation in order to
classify them, for the Indian Of
flee. Investigations in Arizona,
the field work for which has been
done but the results of which are
not yet published, will lead to a
report on the ore deposits of the
Patagonia and Santa Rita Mount
aims by F. G. Schrader; report
on the geology and ore deposits
of the Tombstone District by F.
l.. Ransome; the Tucson folio by
c. f. Tolman, Jr.; and the Ray
folio by F. L. Ransome.
The work of collecting stat
istics and information on the
mining industries and concerning
the precious and semi-precious
metal resources of Arizona and
reporting on new mining develop
ments will be done by V. C.
Helkes, a statistcian of the
Survey, whose headquarters are
in Salt Lake City. The results
OF this work will be published in
the volume of Mineral Resources
of the United States for 1913.
Topographic mapping will be
commenced in the fall in the
Pearce Commute quadrangle,
iR Cochise Country, portion Of
it lying within the Chiricahua
National Forest. The quadrangle
has an aera of about /, OH square
miles. This mapping will include
the detailed surveys necessary to
prepare a map which will show
all rivers, towns, roads and rail
roads, as well as the surface re-
lief Of the country, the last being
shown by means OF 1QO-foot con
tour lines. The completed map
will be engraved on the scale of
two miles to one inch and will
probably not be ready for distri-
button for two years after its
completion.

OF the United States Geological
Survey, in cooperation with the
State of Arizons and others, is

FAIR NOTES

to take up the final details in re-
gard to the Ninth Annual State
Fair, which from the present out
look will be the greatest fair in
the history of the state.
On September 22nd the books
were opened for box reservations,
and there were applications for
every box in the grand stand,
with some twenty or thirty more
than could be supplied.
Some ten or dozen boxes NAV
be built, but not near enough to
supply the demand. Next year
when there will probably be built
another addition to the grand
stand, the supply may equal the
demand.
The fame of the fair is grow
ing, and is not confined to the
state, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing from the Chicago Horse
Review:
THE ARIZONA STATE FAIR"
AS everyone knows, this great
state fair and racing carnival, the
week of Nov. 3-8, closes the Great
Weatern Circuit and the season
of racing on the first-class mile
tracts. Only a few years ago
Phoenix was not on the map as
a trOtting town, but now it's the
biggest stop between the Missis-
sippi River and the Rockey
Mountains, as its track is one of
the fastest in the world, some say
the fastest, it's weather is fam
ious the world oyer for its pre-
fection, and the liberal way in
which the horSemen are treated
has become proverbial. +"
The Western Horseman pre-
dicted some months ago that the
Arizona State Fair track would
from now on be the greatest
meeting place and battle grounds
between the eastern and western
horsemen. This fight will per
haps reach it's crux in the Free
for All pace, where the great
mare 'Leata J, "2:02, the sensa-
tion of the Grand Circuit this
year, will meet Don Pronto, :"
2:O2a, Joe Patchen H." 2:O344,
and perhaps Jim Logan, "2:O34,
and King Daphne, (" 2:O41.
Minnie Chimes. F" 2:O44, the
great sensation of last year is
also entered in the State Fair
races, Jimmie McVay says he
proposes to take the scalps of all
to decorate his den at Hutchison,
Kansas.
Also Pop" Geers has about
made up his mind to bring
Anvil, 2:044, for the purpose
OF giving him the stallion record
for 1913.
Anvil is considered one of
the greatest horses on the Grand
Circuit, and he and Pop" Geers
love each other like brothers.
Anvil is owned by Frank
Jones, the Tennessee millionaire
horseman, and money is no item
to Mr.. Jones if he can get a
record to suit him. This the
greatest tribute that perhaps
was ever paid a race track, when
a single horse will be sent SO far
at such an expense to get such a
record.
This year the Phoenix Board
of Trade has guaranteed $4,000
purse, known to be the Phoenix
Board of Trade Stake, PIP trot;
and the different copper com
panies have contributed towards
a stake, known as the Copper
Stake, this year designated as
the 2:10 pace.
This year the Calumet & Ariz-
ona Copper Company of Bisbee,
instead of donating to the copper
stake, decided to donate the

CHICKENS MATCHED BY
ELECTRICITY
+. W. Buchanan, Local Druggist, Is
Using New Method Successfully

The poultry raisers and would-be
raisers had chance the other day IL
see chickens hatch for the first time
in this section by electricity. This
new method is being used by F. w
Bucknam, druggist in Skowhegan
who is making a record in poultry
raising.
Mr.. Bucknam's first chickens came
out Tuesday of last week and every
one Matched SO far by this method is
healthy and 1t appears as though he
would get hatch greater than with
the old method. This electric incu-
bator is fed from the electric light
wires and is run on the plan of an
electric pad and is all the time kept
at 1913 degrees.
Mr.. Buchanan has one of the most
interesting poultry plants is Skowhe-
gan. Although he is engaged in the
business as side issue and largely
for his own enjoyment, yet he is max
ing a good profit from each hen. He
has the Regal strain OF White Wyan-
dottes and Is all the time trying to
improve his stock. He has recently
bought two cockerels, paying $500
for one and $500 for the other. He
believes that it costs no more to raise
An interesting thing about his plant
is that he has the cold air, open front
type hen-house and through summer
and winter the front during the day
is always open. He has no difficulty
in getting the hens TO lay. About
the middle OF December he put six
pullets of his best stock together and
since that time they have averaged
more than four eggs day.
Mr.. Bucknam is convinced that the
White Wyandotte Is the best breed
to raise in this section on account of
the climate. They are thickly feath-
cred, compact in body, short legged,
rose-combed and with these qualities
are enabled to stand the cold weather
of this climate. He also finds that
they are good for market, above the
average as layers, medium eaters and
above the average weight.
Mr.. Buchanan now has 80 hens of
this full-blooded stock. He has al
ways taken prizes at the various poul-
try shows. He Is to enlarge his
plant to keep many more. An inter-
esting thing is that Mr. Bucknam
owns one of the most beautiful resi-
dences in the village, but he finds no
trouble in keeping his place neat and
his poultry plants add to the home
effect of the place. He has been in
the business for three years, yet he is
able to get a profit of $3.50 from each
hen each year. In the winter he
feeds them green oats which he
sprouts by the furnace and he makes
them work for their other feed in a
litter of hav

Paris.-Mme. Bloch, novelist, who
on July 81, last, shot and killed Mrs

Bridgeman, an employee of the Paris
branch of an American life insurance

court here of the charge of homicide.
The tragedy was the outcome of an
attachment between Nine. Bloch's

Milwaukee. The acquittal of the de-
