SILVER CITY MEN
BOND ZINC CLAIMS
Wade and Cox to Develop Clark and
MahOney and :. ID. SwOpc Properties
In Trcs Eermanas Mountalna.

Deming, y II. April Wv. Rogers
Wade and ". :. Cox, of Silver City,
have taken a lease and bond on the
Clark and ManOuey mininpr claims in
the Tres Hermanas mountains south
OF Demlng - miles. and also on the
claims of Dr. 5. D. Swope, in the same
district These claims have been
worked in a deSultOry- way for the
past ten years, and a number Of ship
ments of zinc ore, running between so
and 50 per cent have been made The
claims have an aggregate of about one
mile of tunnels and shafts. The prop
erty together with several locations
made by Wade and Cox, covers an
area of 1000 feet square
1t is the purpose OF these men to
work this property, and make ship
same time prospect with churn drills
for large ore bodies, which il is be-
lieved, exist at the water level, go
feet from the surface Nj Wade is
a mining engineer with large exper-
fence in the zinc business in New
Jersey before coming 10 New Mexico
seven years ago He is enthusiastic
about the property, stating that it has
all the ear-marks OF developing into
a great mine.
When the large dody Of ore is reached.
il viii be a milling proposition,
and the location is very advantageous,
since il is only seven miles from Tom
erlin, station on the z p. & 5. W,
and there is an abundance of water
close at hand for milling purposes. It
is located right in the center OF a rich
farming district in the Min1bres valley,
so the cost Of supplies for a mining
camp would be very low

rel spent a week on the property, and
gathered an immense number of sam
pies for assaying- A force Of men will
be set to work Immediately in the old

| BILLION BACTERIA IN A WEEK
Their Functions Are Peculiar and
Wonderfully Interesting as Well
as Quite Profitable.

CBy COL. HENRY EXALL. Texas In
dustrial CongressJ
AS soon as the roots of a legumi-
nous crop begin to grow, If the soil il
sweet-that is. does not lack lime
tiny bacteria, so small that it takes q
powerful glass to see them, attach
themselves to the roots of the pea or
other leguminous crop and start to
housekeeping, building a little nodule
as 1t is called. II takes only about
twenty minutes to complete the
growth of one of these entities. but
they do not die. They simply divide
themselves into two, each starting q
new nodule or adding to the one al
ready begun, and dividing again in
twenty minutes and SO on. ad infinit-
UNI, multiplying at such a wonderful
rate that it has been estimated that
il there was one in good condition
here a week ago. there are a billion
now. These little houses. or nodules.
grow into great hives until soon they
are as large as walnuts on the roots
of the plants. Their functions are
peculiar and wonderfully interesting
as well as profitable.
The air, as you know. is four-fifths
nitrogen. Nitrogen is the most ex-
pensive fertilizer that you buy and It
is positively essential to plant life
Now, these little entities suck air into
the earth and aerate the soil. 1t Is
just as necessary for a plant to have
air as 1t is for an animal to breathe
it. They therefore do the splendid
service OF bringing the air into the
soil, and in bringing 1t In they digest
the nitrogen that is in the air and con-
vert 1t into mineral nitrates that are
soluble in water and Immediately
available for plant food. 1t Is estt
mated that under favorable conditions
where an acre of land is well inoculat-
ed the bacteria will bring $50 worth Of
nitrogen to the acre within the year;
that is, it would cost $40 and more
to buy and put upon the land the nitro
gen that these little entities have
drawn from the atmosphere into the

The orchardist has at his command
a variety of materials suited to the
different insects and diseases which
he has 10 combat. Ii is essential for
results In spraying that the material
used be selected with intelligence and
with a definite foreknowledge of the
pest to be controlled. Certain classes
OF spray materials are useful for the
fungous diseases and certain Others
for the insect pests. Some diseases.
such as peach yellows. and some in
sects. such as borers. cannot be
reached by sprays. With other In
sects and diseases, such as curculio.
fire blight and black knot. spraying.
though helpful. is not sufficient. and
must be supplemented by certain Or
chard practices, such as Earring. thin
ming the fruit. thorough and syste-
matte pruning, etc. such practices
being based accurately upon a fairly
comprehensive knowledge of the pest
in question.
AS a matter of fact, however, the
practical operations of spraying are
reduced to a relatively simple basis.
We have the lime-sulphur washes and
oil sprays for tlt, scales. We have
the Bordeaux mixture for fungi and
arsenate of lead for chewing insects.
The Bordeaux and arsenate combine
to form one double-purpose spray
which will accomplish most of our
summer spraying.
Arsenate of Iced is undoubtedly the
best form of arsenic for spraying pur-
poses. 1t does not have the tendency
to burn foliage, common to other
arsenicals. For most purposes il
should be used at the rate of two or
three pounds for each fifty gallons of
spray.
Arsenate of lead usually comes in
the form of white paste. This must
be worked up with water slowly till
thin enough to dilute easily, when it
may be mixed with water or Bordeaux
for spraying.
Paris green is used at the rate Of
six to eight ounces to each fifty gal
Ions of spray materials. 1t should be
mixed with a small quantity of water
first If used without Bordeaux mix
ture. two to three pounds of lime
should be slaked and added to each
pound of Paris green to counteract
the leaf-burning effect of straight
Paris green and water.
