CALUMET STRIKES ORE
IN BOTTOM OF SHAFT

Predictions that the development
of the Ely Calumet property through
the Gladys shaft will result in the
opening of a big mine are confirmed
by the discovery of new ore in the
bottom of the shaft this morning.
The shaft is now bottomed in ore
which has the characteristic appear
anc of the %porphyry ore of the dis
trict and of higher grade at the depth
of 210 feet. Samples were today
value of it determined. While
porphyry shows on the surface in
the vicinity of the Gladys shaft, the
discovery that it would be found to
be commercial ore is a very encour-
aging sign to persons who always
have had faith in the property.
When work of sinking the shaft
was resumed recently the bottom
was in dolomite lime and this forma-
ton was found to continue to greater
depth. The dolomite then cut off
and a calcite formation about one
foot thick was encountered. Below
the calcite copper ore estimated to
carry about 10 per cen of the metal
was found that varied in width from
a narrow seam to six or eight inches.
Next under the copper a soft, light
colored formation was found and the
miners working in the shaft declared
Immediately that it was %porphyry
and felt very much elated at the dis
covery. AS this formation was sunk
in to another change was noticed
and the rock had more of the char
acteristics of the Nevada Con. and
Giroux steam shovel ores. The last
change was discovered this morning
when the work of hosting out the
rock broken by the round of shots
fired last night was begun.
Only one shift is employed at the
present time but good progress in
sinking has been made. Yesterday
the shift put ina set of timbers,
hoisted out twelve and a half 1900
pound buckets of dirt and drilled a
round of holes that broke another
sixteen buckets.
AL Myers, who holds a majority
Of the Ely Calumet stock is in hopes
of continuing development work as
he has firm faith that the Gladys
shaft discovery will prove to be eX-
tensive and that a producing prop
erty will soon result from systematic

DIVORCES
NOT GOOD IN NEW YORK
IN THAT CASE HOW WILL Ne
VADA DEGREES BE LOOKED
UPON?

A New York dispatch to the San
Francisco Chronicle, under the date
of January 16, says: Supreme Court
Justice Giegerich rendered a decision
today in the case of Kitchener VS..
Kitchener in which he held that the
decree of divorce granted in Califor-
mia upon grounds not statutory in
this state was not binding in this
state. The ruling, which is decisive
in it's character as to many thousands
of DEGREES granted to New Workers
in California and elsewhere, is that
William j. Kitchener, composer and
violinist, is entitled to a divorce from
Mrs. Alice Wilson Kitchener Bastine,
who obtained a California divorce and
has since married Arthur r. Bastine
of New York.
Justice Giegerich sustains the com
plant of Kitchener, naming Bastine
as correspondent.
Kitchener now has a suit for $780,
600 pending against Bastine, alleging
that he alienated Mrs. Kitchener's
affections.

WEEKS OPERATION OF
THE NEVADA-DOUGLAS

Ore shipped from the Ludwig dur
ing the week was taken chiefly from
development work on the second and
third levels and from the Gil stope.
Development work on the eighth level
is confined to the south face of the
main tunnel and in the S04 and sos
crosscuts. The S04 is now in IS
feet from the drift. and is passing
through a highly mineralized quartzy
material, which on all the levels
above has been found lying just east
Of the orebodies. This cross-cut will
open up the country lying below 703,
704 and 705 slopes. Conditions re-
main about the same in the Cast
ing Copper, that is. about 1876 tons
of ore being shipped a day. and the
bulk of it taken from the 100-foot
level.

FERRY MAKES SALE OF
PLEASANT VALLEY MINES

j. r. Ferry, one of the pioneers
of Pleasant valley, in eastern White
Pine county, accompanied by his son
Archie. arrived in Ely Monday night,
having ridden on horseback to Nc
Gill from their home in one day. At
McGill they took the evening train
to Ely, making the entire trip from
their place to Ely in n day.
Mr.. Ferry recently bonded his min
ing property lear his ranch to Salt
Lake people, and is here to receive
the first payment on the purchase
price, to be followed by three other
payments within six months. Recent
development in the mine showed up a
3 p foot lead of silver-lead and cop
per ore, averaging $50 per ton. The
first shipment of this ore was made
from the mine via Wendover to Salt
Lake City last week. When the
shipment was made there was a foot
and a half of snow on the ground.
which made the local transportation
rather expensive, but the shipment
was made in order to secure smelter
returns on the product, rather than
with a view to profit. 1t is prob
ably h only shipment that will be
made during the present winter, but
development work will be continued
steadily until spring, when shipments
VIII again be resumed. The Salt Lake
people are well pleased with the
splendid showing the mine is making
with the limited amount of work
done.-Ely Record.

fend him and that he would throw
himself upon the mercy of the court.
He told the officers that he desired
to see none of the friends or &C
qu%aintance that he has made during
his several visits of extended dura-

Shape Of Ear Of Corn

The superintendent Of the Texas
substation at Temple. after a careful
study Of the relation Of shape of ea1
to yield of corn, concludes that slightly
tapering parent ears give the highest
yield. This is more in accord with the
results than cylindrical ears. High
yields were associated with com
paratively smooth kernels Of slightly
more than average depth and Of med
ium horniness. The yield increased
with an increase in the total weight OF
the ear as determined by slight in
crease in length, amount Of grain. and
rather marked increase in weight of
cob
In experiments at the Ohio and
Nebraska experiment stations 1t was
found that the highest yields were
obtained with medium to medium long
ears. Poorly filled butts and tips
were more frequently associated with
high yields than we'll filed, but high
Yields We're more frequently associated
filled tips. 1.-The old score card placed
much emphasis on good filing Of
butts and tips. but for several years
past investigators have been getting
away from this idea 1t has been
found that these characters. when
highly developed. are usually so de-
veloped at the expense Of more val
liable characters. such as yield. con-
stitution, etc. There appeared to be
no relation between yield and Smelling
percentage and circumference and
width or thickness of kernel

bark may be completely covered. and
sometimes there are several layers of
| scales covering the bark. In such
cases leaves and fruit are usually at
lacked. The young scales locate upon
| both sides of the leaf, along the ribs
where they cause reddish discolora-
| tlon This discoloration also occurs
on fruit. and on the twigs. especially
where there are but few individuals,
and 1t extends through the bark to
the wood. Where the insect is found
upon the fruit, it seems to prefer the
calyx and the stem cavities. Upon
slightly infested trees the fruit is not
attacked. but on trees which are badly
infested the fruit Is often so thorough
~ covered as to present a very dis
gushing appearance If infested twigs
are much handled. the outer layer is
rubbed away from the center or nip
ple-like portion, leaving 1t a bright
yellow color. Concentric circles are
usually apparent between this nipple
and the outside edge. The scaly COW
ering is formed at the edge in con-
centric layers or additions. The COW
ering Of the male is different in shape
from that Of the female. While that
Of the female is nearly circular in out
line, the armor Of the full grown male
scale is nearly always elongated.
The color of the shell or covering
varies greatly. som etimes being light
grey; sometimes being nearly black.
1t frequently turns dark If the insects
are killed when half grown. If killed
when fully grown the shells often
assume a light grey color. and finally
drop from the twigs. If we lift this
shell or covering with pin or point
of knife. we will see. underneath a
small yellow object, oval or circular
in outline. which appears like a bit of
yellow jelly. This is the insect proper.

setting out a new patch it Is only
these young plants which should be
used. They are recognized by their
smaller crowns and bright fibrous
roots.
Strawberries are rarely prof1ta BILE
for more than one crop. If the patch
is to be refruited, NOW off the old
vines after picking is over and burn
them, and then pillow out the old plants
leaving the runners to renew the
patch. Subsequent treatment con-
sists of clean cultivation as for new
pitch.
Manure or green crops such as SOW
beans. COW peas or clover should be
turned under whenever possible Very
heavy and frequent manuring is not
desired as 1t is not a balanced fertil-
izer, being deficient in phosphoric
acid. In conjunction then with fifteen
to twenty-five tons Of barnyard ma
nure per acre. acid phosphate should
be added at the rate of 200 to 600
pounds
A complete chemical fertilizer is of
value on poor soil or where an ap-
plication of manure was not given.
The materials can be purchased SEN
arately and mixed at home in the fol-
lowing proportions:
1874 lbs. nitrate of soda and ESQ lbs.
tankage.
572 lbs. acid phosphate.
120 lbs. muriate of potash.
If the patch is burned over after
harvesting the crop every year, rotated
every two or three years and varieties
resistant to leaf spot planted, very
little trouble from insects or diseases
should be experienced. Ditch banks
and borders Of berry fields which are
ovefgrown with, weeds should be kept
burned off. The two most appropriate
times for this would usually be in
April and June. just when the weevils
begin to enter the patch and as the
next brood are leaving. The cleaner
the method of cultivation the better.

Nine Out of Ten '1Sick"
Hogs Have Cholera

1t is estimated that at least 90 per
cent Of all deaths Of hogs from dis.
ease in the United States are caused
by hog cholera. Therefore. in the
case of any fatal outbreak. The chances,
are about nine to one that tho cause
Is hog cholera. It is true that othe.
infections may and do frequently com.
plicate outbreaks of hog cholera, but
in such cases the germ of hog cholers
is the primary cause of the disease;
and II we can take care Of the germ
o' hog cholera the pig will usually
overcome the other infection himself.
| The symptoms exhibited by hogs
sick Of hog cholera are not sufficiently
distinct from those produced by otheI
maladies SO that a positive diagnose
can be made only through a careful
consideration of number of other
factors in connection with the symp-
toms. From practical standpoint
the important thing Is to recognize
hog cholera as soon as possible after
its appearance in herd in order that
anti hog cholera serum may be APP
piled before the disease progresses
too far. Good serum may be depended
upon to protect we'll hogs. and even to
cure large percentage of those in
the earliest stages OF the disease, but
it will not be of much avail when
used upon hogs that are already WIS.,
IDLY sick -
The following suggestions to farm
ers are offered as an aid to the early
recognition of hog cholera in q herd:
/. Keep posted concerning the
condition and health of hogs, on other
farms In your neighborhood. Sick
hogs on neighbor!ng farm are
positive menace. for the germs of hog
cholera are easily carried on the feet
of men or animals,
g Look over your herd regularly
in order that my sick hogs may be
promptly discovered.
3. If any hogs in the, herd are
found to he loft, feed or appear In
anywise sick separate them in1nle-
diately from the remainder of the
herd, and keep them and the man
herd under close observation daily. V
there is a tendency for the disease to
spread in the herd the trouble e ,f@'-
ably hog cholera. This diag~oe;S -',ay
be confirmed by killing one OF the ok
animals and examining the orsars.
4. When the first symptoms O, ~
ness are observed an ime'ndiate
change of feed sometimes co.." -
the trouble. This is particu'a rl% t'He
of swili fed hogs.
S. If there IS any tendency for tho
disease to spread in the herd do rrt
temporize, but Immediately tree e.
herd with serum from the state coz -
or state live stock sanitary DO. =
Prompt administration of the serum IS
essential to success.
6. Remember that hog cholera Kills
millions of hogs where other diseases
kill thousands. Dismiss from your
mind all thought of such diseases 80
lung plague" infectious pneumonia
"pig typhoid" ETC.. for these are gen
orally merely fanciful designations
given to hog cholera by unlhlo''''e'
men.
