SILVER PICK CON.
AGAIN SINKING
SHAFT TO BE SENT DOWN ~
THE LATITE-SHALE
CONTACT

In accordance with a program de-
cided upon by President Herman
Zadig of San Francisco upon the oc-
casion of his visit to GOldfield about
two weeks ago, General Superintend-
emf Walter S. Norris this morning
resumed sinking operations In the
main shaft on the property OF the
Silver Pick Consolidated Mines COM
panv beneath the 500-foot level, with
the famous latite-shale contact as
the objective point. The plans OF
the company call for an additional
depth of 200 feet, but it is expect
ed that the contact will be revealed
at a lesser depth.
The property is amply equipped
with machinery for deeper opera
tions and the work should make eX-
cellent headway. All lateral devel-
opment work on the 50O-foot level
has been suspended during sinking
operations, with the exception OF
the west crosscut, which is designed
to intercept the downward continual
ton of three known veins. Thls
crosscut has at present total length
of 42O feet. the face being $50 feet
from the footwall of the main vein
of the property.
President Zadig stated while in
Goldfeld on his last visit that the re-
suits obtained in the exploratory
work on the 5OO-foot level had con-
vinced him that greater depth was
required on the various ore bodies
revealed and that it would be advis-
able to sink the main shaft to the
latite-shale contact An assessment
of one cent per share recently levied
by the directors has provided ample
funds to continue the shaft to the
7OO-foot point and permit OF extern
sive additional exploratory work.

JUSTICE MAKES
EXCELLENT FIND
THREE FEET OF $3.50 ORE En-
POSED ABOVE 265-FOOT
LEVEL

In addition to twO-inch streak
of picture rock, three Ieet OF orc
thai assays $3.50 per ton has been
exposed at a height of thirty feet in
a new raise above the west drift from
the south crOsscut on the 265-foot
level of that portion of the Daisy
property being operated under
two and half year lease by the
Justice Gold Mines company in con-
junction with adjoining Gold Coin
Extension claim, one of three claims
which it owns. In advancing the
raise, the management has extracted
fifty tons of ore of an average value
of $50 per ton, which will be shipped
in the near future. Manager G. H.
Hays states that he expects to make
three fifty-tOn carload shipments
from the property during the pres
ent month.
The vein in which the new find
has been made was revealed by the
south crosscut siXty-fOur feet from
the main Daisy shaft, through which
the company is operating. A drift
has been extended to the west on
the vein distance of ninety feet,
the face at present being a short
distance beyond the raise in which
the rich find has just been made.
The drift will be advanced the full
length of the lease on the Daisy
property, which embraces the north
1850 feet of the Daisy No. l claim.
When the drift has been extended
forty feet from the present face. a
crosscut south will be driven into the
Gold Coin Extension claim for the
purpose of intercepting three known
veins. 1t is calculated that these
veins will be cut within 175 feet of
crosscut work. From the Daisy
shaft a north crosscut has been
started on the 265-foot level to inter-
cept the downward extension of the
Harvey vein 1t is estimated that
the objective point will be reached
within ninety feet of the shaft.

heard by some officer of uhlans, who
rode up, and, dismounting and cover

We are thirsty replied Jean.
The German looked at the little
group. He saw his countryman lying
dead with an empty flask beside him,
and guessed what was the scene of
comradeship and bravery which the
spot had witnessed He gave instruc-
lions to an orderly, and wine was
brought and given to the two wounded
men. Surely. that is scene and
deed which win wipe out many bit

Just then the cannonade burst
forth again with tremendous fury. and
the German force which had come up
had to retire. Shells were soon burst
ing all around, and fragments struck
the English officer. He became de-
lirious with pain, and the young
Frenchman. stiff, feverish. and weak
himself, saw that it was necessary to
do something to bring the officer to a
place where he would be safe and
would receive attention.
Jean tried to lift the Englishman.
but found that he had not sufficient
strength left to take his comrade ON
his shoulder. So, half lifting him. and
dragging and rolling him at times. the
gallant little piou-piou brought the
wounded English officer nearer and
nearer to safety and help The jour
ness was two miles long! But
at last it was over.

THE two men came upon some
trenches occupied by the allied forces;
they were recognized and taken in

travellers believed the most

writes E. T. Allen in American For

and Spanish navigators, it was de-
scribed to Europe by Wallis (1767)
and Bougainville (176S). They gave
such lively account of the beauty of
both island and people, and of what
they considered the idyllic perfection
of its semiwild, semideveloped society.
that much was written, especially in
philosophical France, to argue that
here was proof of the necessity for re-
turn to nature by the human race.
Bougainville named it New Cy-
therea. His companion. the naturalist
Commerson, called it Utopia and wrote
extravagantly Of the virtues which he
said fourished because the natives
had no conventional restraint.

lowed (1769 to 1774), bringing fuller

CORRECT TIME FOR FEEDING
Better Results Secured by Giving Full
Feeds in Morning and Night
Mix Salt With Grain.

Many feeders seem to think that
the oftener they can coax the cows
to eat the better. but l believe that
better results may be obtained by
feeding full feeds In the morning and
at night and light feed of hay about
noon, says a writer i'll an exchange.
We feed silage, grain and hay in the
morning, as soon as the milking is
completed, a light feed of hay at noon
to induce the cows to walk directly to
their places when they come in from
the yard, and repeat the morning feed
at night, Immediately after milking.
We have found 1t better not to feed
the cows before milking time, and
more especially when silage is being
fed, as it is likely to impart bad
odor to the milk
The amount of salt to feed depends
upon conditions. We feed more salt
than many dairymen, for the reason
that when feeding corn silage we have
difficulty in getting the COWS to drink
sufficient water, unless they have
plenty Of salt.
1t may be one of the writer's no.
lions, but there seems to be some
thing about the slightly acid condition
of the silage that satisfies the cows
thirst, and for that reason we mix salt
with the grain feed. One ounce day
is fed TO each COW in her grain ration,
and once week we give them some
in their managers.
we have water basins by the side
of the cows, but the animals are
turned out every day in the year
while the stables are being cleaned
and aired out. Our yards are well
sheltered. and we seldom leave them
out more than three-quarters of an
hour. They are turned out in groups
of ten or twelve and mada to stay
out until we are ready fol them to
come to their places. On very cold
days they are not kept out long
enough TO get chilled.

TESTING SHOWS UP LoAFERs
No Progressive or Successful Dairy.
man viii Keep Cow on Which
He Does Not Make a Profit.

(By g. r. INGALLS,, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
Cow testing shows the money max
ers. The best cows in many herds are
returning profit Of 500 or more,
every year. 1t is possible to have every
COW kept do as well.
The loafers. the cows that consume
more than they return, are quickly
spotted and eliminated when the cow
test is used. No successful merchant
handles line of goods on which he
loses money; likewise, no progressive
dairyman will milk a COW on which he
does not make profit. The milking
OF cows is straight business PROPOSE
ton and no farmer can afford to spend
his own time or pay high priced labor
to milk cows which do not pay for
their board. Let's make the 500 re-
turn per COW our standard
To build up profitable herd the
COW test is indispensable. It enables
the dairyman to quickly get a high
producing herd b. selecting heifers
from only the best cows. In this con-
nection the sires that are capable of
transmitting dairy quality and tenn
permanent to their offspring can be
proved. The very general practice of
sending mature bulls to the block,
when they are just in their prime for
breeding purposes, is detrimental to
our dairy industry and should be
stopped.
Cow testing also pays because sur

done in the line of milk and butter fat
production.

He is SOME CORN HusKER
Michigan Man Claims Championship
and May Do Husking Act
in Vaudeville.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-P. e. Thomas
of this city claims the championship
of Michigan for corn husking. He es-
tablished a new record this year on
the farm of R. G. Brumm, near Nash
vile, in Barry county, when he husked
LAG bushels in ten hours. an average
of 1885 bushels per hour, or one
bushel to each A 81 minutes. His
best time during the day was Is
bushels in 40 minutes.
Mr.. Thomas grandfather was an
expert husker and at one time did
even better than the grandson's best
record. husking 16S bushels in ten
hours His father husked i47 bushels
in ten hours.
Mr. Thomas has made a business Of
husking corn for II years. He says
the corn in Mr. Brumm's field IS the
best in which he ever worked. The
corn is of the Folsom yellow dent
variety, which was introduced into
this locality by w. H. Burd Mr..
Brumm's field contains 1-6 acres and
the total yield was 1,143 bushels, an
average of 140 bushels per acre.
There is no question about the cor
rectness of Mr. Thomas record, as
accurate time was kept on his work
and on the measure Of his corn by
Mr. Brumm. Mr. Thomas says he ex-
poets TO beat his own record and that
of his grandfather next year. He may
go on the vaudeville stage with a corn
husking act next fall.

Polynesian races differ slightly in
