Apple Crop Estimated SO
Per Cent Too High?

Mr.. A. P. Bateman, Vice President
of the Northwestern Fruit Elk hange
has vigorously taken exception to the
crop estimates recently issued by the
Government. He says:
THE U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, in its latest estimate of the Uni
ted States apple crop, seems to have
emulated the example set by Gloomy
Gus White and the aggregation of
Eastern apple operators who have been
irdustriously inventing Bear statis-
tics on apple production.
1.-The Department latest guess is
21O million bushels, the highest figures
that have been published, On the 9TH
er hand, the Northwestern Fruit Elk
change, of Portland, with its corps of
expert reporters, estimates this sea
sons crop at only 142 million bushels.
The astonishingly preposterous fig.
ures of the Government for the Pacific
Coast States. stated in bushels, COM
pare as follows with local estimates.

WOMAN COLLAPSES AFTER
READING TRIB STORY -


The Tribune printed story today
that left a woman, a mother, a men
tai wreck, possibly hopelessly. It
was the. story of the finding dead
baby in the basement Of Woodlawn
apartment building.
The building was located at 1877
E. 65th st. The body was the.t of
girl, probably about six or seven days
old. The Tribune got after the story.
They discovered that among the
many tenants of the building was the
Daegling family, which contains two
girls, Hazel, II, just finishing school,
and Agile, couple Of years her elder
Helen Daegling was the young girl
whom Melvin H. Sykes, the photog-
rapher, was recently reported WOO
ing. He is a widower. The girl was
a chum of Sykes young daughter.
But she has always laughed the re-
port of his courtship away. And
Sykes was married again last week. |
The Daegling girls reputation has
always been high. But the Tribune
reported the story in a manner that |
connected the girls name with the |
baby-fnding story. No one else in |
the building was mentioned in the
story except the two girls, their
mother and the ianitor who found the |
body.
The story said that automobiles |
used to drive up to the building "at |
all hours of the night" and also re-
lated that there was singing and |
noise in the Daegling fiat.
When Mrs Daegling opened the |
Tribune this morning she collapsed. |
Angie, who is known as highly |
nervous girl, is in bad condition and
Hazel is grief-stricken.
The mother is in really bad condi-
ton. She has not been well, and it
is feared her mind may be impaired

Mines and Minng-Activities in Ore Districts Of Utaf
INDIANS DISCOVERIES
Of NEW OIL FIELD
Maverick Springs Field Is Lo-
Gated Near Pavilion, FIRE.
mont County, Wyo.

Early last spring Indians living OF
the big reservation lying in the north
central portion Of Fremont county
Wyoming, brought down numerous re-
ports of oil showings, says the Mining
and Financial Record. Prompt atten-
| tion was given to these reports. Large
tracts have been located by Wyoming
men.
This new field lies near Pavilion, in
Fremont county, about thirty miles
north of Riverton. 1t is known as the
Maverick Springs field.
The United States government with
drew q part Of the land surrounding
the seepages.
The correspondent Of the Daily Min
ing and Financial Record, W. P. Schu-
mann of Pavilion, who, by the way,
is an old-time prospector and trapper,
of the pioneer scout variety. was one
OF the First to visit the region, going
there in July, 1913. he made sys-
tematic study of the ground in town
ship 5, north !, west, and township 6,
north ! and west, and found oil e1-
posed On the surface in many places.
He and associates have located a
group of claims adjoining the original
discovery
Already there is much interest being
taken by Wyoming men, among those
early on tho ground being Ex-Governor
Chatterton and State Geologist Jami-
son, who, with their associates, have
located seventy claims. Recently, &c
cording to reports current in the fields,
a group of twenty-five Of these claims
a sum placed at $4,000. With the
money received for these claims, the
work of development is to be pushed
on the remaining holdings Of the syndi-
cate.

farthest west the oil occurs in the
diately on the Embar or upper carbon.
ferrous stratum; In the middle, or what
is locally known as the "big DOME"
oil shows in the upper stratum Of the
Chugwater formation several hundred
feet higher, structurally, than the west
dome. The exposure in the east dome
is the Cloverly or possibly the very top
stratum of the Morrison formation.
This fact is interesting because it
shows that the entire field is saturated
with oil and the water has forced it to
the tops of the domes.
The ground where the oil seepages
occur. the tops Of the domes before
mentioned, has been withdrawn by the
interior department, but the most val
uabe land is regarded as that sur
rounding the withdrawal and contigu-
GUS to it.
a. A. Mease, the engineer in charge
of the work being carried on, writes
that he found dark green oil at a depth
of fifty-four feet and was expecting
within few feet to enter the Nor
rison sand. This sand is about six
ty,five feet thick, and is expected, from
all indications, so far, to be oil bear
ing. The showing, be writes, is the
"best ever shown in Wyoming consid
ering the amount Of development work
done,'

SEEKING NEW COPPER
CAMP IN MONTANA

Word comes from Anaconda that it is
the intention of the Boston g. Montana
Development company to drive O tun-
mel 1000 feet long from the bed Of the
Wise river into the Elkhorn group Of
claims owned by that company. The
mine camp has been moved from the
top Of the mountain to the river bed,
1000 feet lower, and made into per-
manent camp. A good wagon road ha.
been constructed by the company from
the Big Hole river, above Dewey
along the Wise river to tho new camp
and as soon as the snow is sufficiently
deep to make the haul easy, lot of
machinery, boilers and compressor, will
be taken to the mine. The machinery
has already been purchased, and work
on the long tunnel started. The tunnel
Will be seven by eight feet IN the clear,
large enough for double track Tim
Der has been contracted for, to be de-
llvered at the mouth of the tunnel, suf.
ficient to timber the tunnel for a dis
tance Of 1000 feet. It is expected that
progress at the rate Of about $50 feet
a month will be made when the ma
chinery Is placed and that the first of
the big veins will be encountered about
June ], distance Of about 700 feet
from the mouth Of the tunnel Miners
returning from the Elkhorn are very
enthusiastic about the showing, and de-
clare that Butte never had such a fine
outlook at the same stage Of develop
ment.

SITE SELECTED FOR
BIG RADIUM PLANT

A site for the worlds largest radium-
producing plant has been selected In Den
yer by the United States governm ent
according TO an exchange.
1t Is to be financed by the National
Radium institute, and operated under the
direction OF leading scientists
Preliminary plans for installing com
plete apparatus for labora tory and re-
search work have been considered by the
United States bureau of mining,
Government employees will conduct
experiments at the Denver plant. Prac-
tically all Of the best radium experts in
the United States will go to that city,
both as students and experlmenters.
Investigations by the United States
mining bureau have shown that Colorado
and Utah contain the largest deposits OF
radium- bearing ore In the world These
fields are to be developed. In the last
year statistics disclose that Colorado and
Utah produced two-thirds OF the world S
radium supply.
That Utah uranium beds contain at
least a ton OF radium and that the ship
ments OF ore now being made are not
apprec!ably diminishing the supply was
asserted by Professor Marcus Il. Jones in
his paper. The Uranium Radium De-
posits OF Utah" read before the Utah
School OF Sciences.
The eastern scientists hope 10 prevail
on the United States government 10
withdraw all radium- bearing ore lands
from entry,
