PROFITABLE PRICES
FOR FARM PRODUCTS

The greatest encouragement that
can be given agriculture is profit
able prices for farm products. Crop
destroying insects have been a stub
born enemy, and Jupiter Pluuvius
has played many pranks on the farm
er, but there is no pestilence like
low prices; they will sap the life
blood of an industry
1t is one of the most pitiful
sights in twentieth century civiliza-
tion to see a farmer after he has
raised a crop sit helplessly by and
watch me bulls and bears of Eu-
rope and America trample over it,
and yet if the farmer will only
organize and cooperate he can sue
cessiully fence out these animals
that devastate his products after
the harvest.
The Oklahoma farmer needs CO
operation as badly as diversifcation.

The Worlds Greatest Financier.

The worlds greatest fnancier is
the Oklahoma farmers housewife.
Her daily investments exceed in
shrewdness the clever transactions
of Wall Street and no business con-
cern or corporation, however ably of
fcered, has ever been able to ap-
proach her in economy. She is the
nations ablest trader and her trans
actions more nearly reflect the prog
ress and prosperity of the country
than the reports of our clearing
houses.
All legislation, financial or other
wise, ought to be so plain that the
housewife can understand it. Our
legislators, state and national shoot
so far over the head of the average
citizen that those who are unable
to employ an attorney and accept
his statements in blind faith, must
forever remain in ignorance of our
laws. OF course we have so many
laws that no human can expect to
read them and survive the ordeal,
but any person who feels an ire
sistible impulse to legisiate, should
try his proposed law on his neigh
Der and get it down where the COM
mon people can understand it be-
fore putting it on the statute books.

ARTIFICIAL

The conversion of common forms
of carbon into the crystallized form,
or diamond, has long been a dream
of scientists that has resisted prac-
tical realization. Diamonds of minute
size have been made artificially, but
diamonds of such size as to give them
a commercial value still remain for
future achievement. A new step
toward this goal is reported from
Germany by Prof. Otto hummer Of
BreSlau. According to reports, he
has been able to fuse carbon to
liquid form in an electric arc in a
glass container from which the air
has been exhausted. In the presence
of air, or oxygen, the carbon is vapor-
lied, the absence of oxygen being
necessary for the fusion. Professor
hummer now plans to experiment
further along this line, using high
tension currents with the arc in a
gaseous atmosphere under a pressure
of 800 atmospheres, but containing
no oxygen. If the fused drops of
carbon can be successfully crystal
lived this result will be diamonds.
What success can be achieved re-
mains to be seen.-Mining World.

TWIN METAL COMPANY

There is increased activity in that
part of the Wedekind district which
lies directly north of Reno by the

company has taken ver the Emily
May group under bond and lease.
The property is situated at Summit
switch on the n. c. o., almost in
sight of this city.
THE new shaft is down 60 feet"
says Mr.. Price. 1T is double COM
partment and is timbered through
out. Stations will be cut and drifts
run both directions on the ore, some
of which is of high grade. The for
mer holders made a trial shipment,
which Melted more than $4S to the
ton. Ore of even better grade is row
being taken out A gopher hole on
the property near the shaft gave
forth a shipment that ran $3.50 in
gold, 80 ounces silver and 15 per
cent. copper. ihe property is equip
ped for sinking to depth."-Gazette.

CLOSE WILBERT MILL;
TO SINK NEW SHAFT

Because of the low price of lead
ore, it has been decided to close the
Wilbert mill in the Little Lost river
country, forty miles out from Arco,
Idaho. Development work will be
pushed in the mine, however, by
sinking a shaft from the tunnel level
to a depth of 100 feet. If the ore is
found continuous at this depth, the
shaft will be continued on down as
long as it is found to be opening
up new mineral-bearing territory.
Harry Knight, who has gone to the
property, said before his departure
that while they could have continued
operations at some profit, it became
necessary for the company to do this
new development work, and it was
thought to be a favorable time to
sink the shaft and suspend all other
operations while this development
was being carried on. With all other
work out of the way, good progress
will be made and some splendid re-
suits are anticipated.
The mine has not been developed
at depth, and, with the shallow opera
tions heretofore, it has been i'm
possible to keep much ore blocked
out ahead, and the present move is
intended to remedy this condition.

PROPERTY AT TULE CANYON

L.. Dyer, one of the pioneers of
the camp, is in Goldfield for a visit,
after a trip to property that he owns
in the Tule Canyon district. He has
been at Eugene, Ore, for some time
past and will go there in a day or
two with the expectation of return
ing here within six weeks. Mr..
Dyer was formerly engaged in con-
tracing here and erected or had a
hand in erecting over 800 head
frames on mining properties in this
district. On his Tule Canyon prop
erty he has exposed some ore of
excellent grade. some of it running
around $50 per ton and carrying
horn silver, copper and gold. He
expects to proceed shortly with the
development of this ground.

Preparations for active work this
winter have been completed by the
Peavine Mining and Developing COM
pany, which is operating on Peavine
mountain, five miles northwest OF
Reno. The company possesses eight
claims and a force of six men Is now
engaged in sinking a shaft which a
been Sent down for twenty feet, and
which will continue until a sufficient
depth for prospecting is obtained. A
camp has been constructed and the
men employed are comfortably quar-
tered for the winter. A blacksmith
shop also is included in the surface
equipment.
The shaft has been sunk on an
iron and porphyry contact and assays
show gold and silver values. The
work of establishing the camp was
started on December l and since that
date roads have been built and the
complete mine outfit hauled to the
scene. Timber and water are to be
found and the development work can
be carried out in a systematic man

GOLDYKE DISTRICT
PROMISES REVIVAL

This week the Nina Mercantile
company sent out large shipments
of lumber and other mining supplies
to Goldyke, east of Nina, in the
Fairplay mining district. According
to reports brought in from there
there is a great deal of mining activ-
ity in that section. About seven
years ago the district, which pos
sesses great merit, had quite a min
ing boom. But numerous excitements
in other parts of the state carried
the crowds away and later the finan-
cial stringency carried out the work
and the camp sank into almost a de-
serted state. But a few of the men
stayed with the camp and held on
to their locations and are now reap
ing their reward of sticking to it,"
Jack Venstra and associates are
doing extensive development on the
Twilight Excelsior Mining company's
property, and which is showing up
good orebodies and lodges carrying

taken over a group of claims adjoin-
ing the estate of the Nevada Chief
for a syndicate of Tonopah people.
The claims, which were first located
in 1908, have had considerable ex-
ploratory work in the shape of shall
low shafts and trench. Ore taken
from a shaft fourteen feet in depth
gave values of $500 in gold and
STAG in silver to the ton. From an
other vein the ore assayed $3.50 in
gold and $12.96 in silver to the ton.
Operations have been started by the
new and the property is to
be incorporated as the Nevada Chief
Extension of 100000 shares of a
par value of 81 each.
The Nevada Chief, of which o. 0.
Emmons is president, has uncovered
a rich streak varying from a few
inches to a foot in width which gives
assay values of from $3.50 to 5000 a
ton. Our informant states hat the
raise shows a vein five feet in width
which returns values of from $25 to
$50 a ton. At the present the man
agement is carrying forward the
work of running an upraise from the
$50 level, with good progress being
made. The property is making a
splendid showing and is doing much
to revive interest in the district which
promises to make a record during
the coming year.-Western Nevada

SAN FRANCISCO BROKER
TO INSPECT GOLDYKE

j.. G.. Richardson, former resident
of Reno, now engaged in the broker
ago business in San Francisco, who
arrived yesterday from the coast,
said the recent strike made in the
Atwood mining district in Nye coun-
ty, was reported as being immense.
Richardson owns mining property in
the vicinity of where the reported
strike has been made and is OF his
way south to look over the district
and inspect the recent developments
that have caused a small sized rush
into the camp.
From private sources l have been
informed that the strike made is the
most important discovery made in
the Atwood, or Goldyke district in
years." declared Richardson yester-
day. AN immense amount of money
has been spent in the district by va
rious companies and good showings
have resulted in a number of the
workings, but the recent develop
ment is said to overshadow anything
ever uncovered in that section"
Richardson intends spending sew
eral days inspecting the discOv-
cry and will also consider the re-
sumption of activity on his own prop
erty which adjoins that on which the
newly made discovery vas found

SCHURZ MILL Is TORN
DOWN; GOES TO JUMBO

A memory of the mining boom at
Granite, a few miles west of Schurz
in this county, in the early part of
1908, was called up by the tearing
down and removal of the stamp mill
at Schurz. During the excitement
consequent to a number of gold
strikes made at Granite and Noun
tain View, Truitt and Rankin built
the mill to treat the custom ores of
those two camps. The money strin-
gency restricted mining operations
and the leasers finally had to quit.
Creditors secured a sale of the mill
by the sheriff. 1t was recently pur-
chased by o.. f. Dubois and E.
Dubois, and they have removed the
machinery to their mining proper
ties in the Jumbo district where it
is to be installed and put in commits
