Yesterday morning the children had

they saw Donahue standing beside a

brought down. Tom was proud Of him
self and posed after the fashion Of
Daniel Boone, which used to adorn the
first primer. resting on the u with his
arms akimbo.
The mighty hunter said the ducklings
he has been trying to raise have been
attacked by this bird and the other
members of his family. Each morning
when he had made his count there would

missing. Donahue decided that the
brood could not flourish II he did not

The mine was never producer

if experiments now being conducted
here prove successful. Owing to the

men have turned their attention to
the propagation of this new and
hardy forage plant which is said to
possess the advantage of crowding
out the obnoxious burro weed. The
latter is so bitter that it is never
eaten by burros and when eaten by
cattle frequently proves fatal. The
Australian salt bush grows about ten
inches high with soft stems and very
small leaves.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN
TURKEY CREEK DISTRICT

MAYER, Ariz, Dec 2-More ac-
tivity is now evident in the Turkey
creek mining district than for many
years. This is partially because of
the Mayer reduction plant, which
will soon be completed and treating
custom ores, offering a market which
the claim owners of this section have
always lacked.
James P. Cleator is erecting a new
hoist within 200 feet of Turkey sta
ton, on the Bradshaw mountain
railroad. He is planning to sink a
two compartment shaft and ship
either to Mayer or the Humboldt
smelter
Theodore and Will Theising have
installed a gasoline motor to propel
their arastra and are recovering $40
a ton from all ore treated. Sam
Parker has established camp at his
copper claims and is taking out rich
ore which is shortly to be shipped.
Twelve silver mines near Turkey
are being operated, most of them by
leasers. A number of miners in that
field are spending all their spare
time looking for tungsten. Since the
old Tiptop mine became a producer
of tungsten, more attention is being
paid to that metal than ever before.
