(From Fridays Daily)
 C. P. Ford, quite prominently known as an operator of mines on the desert as well as in the Bradshaw mountains, arrived from his camp yesterday, near Vicksburg, and stated he will make his first shipment of copper ores in short time, with Humboldt, probably as the market.
 As has been the custom of MT. Ford for many years he keeps two camps going, one in the winter on the desert and the othe- near Crown King dur ing the summer. He is elated over the desert property, and in addition to the carload ready for shipping and on the dump, states there are several hundred tons of 12 per cent grade ready for stoping. The dyke being explored is a lime condition and con tracts on the quartzite, traceable fo- the length of two full claims, with a width of fully 150 feet. Tunneling IS the method of exploring, and after several years of effort, he states his expectations are about to be realized. He leaves today for the Bradshaw mountains, to resume development on his gold mines during the summer months. and in the meantime will make frequent trips to the desert property. He states engineers are scouting the country in greater mum bers this year than ever known, and the mining outlook is indicative of a prosperous future

 To Whom It May Concern:
 The following comparative state ment is made to call attention to the importance of the insurance depart ment of the Arizona corporation com mission of this state.
 Some misapprehension of the i'm portance and scope of the work de volved upon this department has been had, and even now is entertained, by many of the citizens of this state, in cluding a large percentage of our state legislators.
 We beg to call attention, in the statement which follows, to the differ ence in amount of revenue collected and handled through this department and paid into the state treasury since February l of this year to this date, as compared with the amount collect ed from October l, 1913 to June 30, 1914

Complains of CANYONS Taxes.

The Caldwell Tribune says: "The
taxpayers of Canyon county not only
have surprise in store, but a great
disappointment as well. When the
taxpayer receives his statement this
year he will be informed that the bill
will be materially greater than last
year. This will be a surprise because
the state has been flooded with liter
ature telling about the great savings
that were to be made in conducting
our affairs of government and they
will naturally want to be informed
as to why it is that some of this great
saving does not appear upon their tax
bill. They are likely to become skep-
tical as to the genuineness of these
alleged savings and may even wonder
if the figures have not been juggled.
The tax bill speaks for itself. Tax
payers are not looking for the kind of
savings" that increase their taxes.

ADVOCATES DRYING OF
PRUNES
ID. Fl. Van Deasen Enthusiastic
for California Way Sell
for S120 Per Ton

d. H. VanDeusen, who returned
Saturday from an auto trip to the
San Francisco exposition and other
coast points, is enthusiastic over the
method Of drying prunes in California
and believes the same method could
be employed here with profit. Prune
growers there received S12O a ton for
their fruit when dried.
To the California way there is very
little expense. The prunes are al
lowed to stay on the trees until
thoroughly ripe. They are then shaken
off and lay on the ground for several
days. Then they are dipped in lye
water preparation, which cracks the
skin, then put in wooden trays, about
3 by feet, and laid in rows on the
ground where the sun will strike them.
If a rain threatens, the trays are
stacked up in piles and covered with
tarpaulins. It is a common sight, he
says, to see fields of from 10 to 20
acres completely covered with the
trays. After the drying process is
complete, the prunes are placed in
side a building and allowed to go
"sweat" for a week or 10
days and then put in gunny sacks
and shipped to the dealers, who
pack them in boxes for the trade.
Two men can take care of the fruit
from 10 acres. Mr.. VanDeusen says
he can see no reason why the prunes
cannot be dried in Idaho in the same
manner and as successfully as in CAL
ifornia.

TO IRRIGATE FULLER'S
ISLAND
Water for 40 Acres to be Piped
from Last Chance Ditch
Under River

Bids were submitted this week by
a number of Emmett contractors for
the building of a pipe line to carry
water from the Last Chance ditch to
irrigate Fuller's island, and it is ex-
pected the contract win be awarded
sometime this week. The island is
owned by the Fruit Growers bank Of
Payette.
Plans for the work were drawn by
E. E. Forshay They call for the
laying of 339 feet of 12-inch wooden
pipe under the river bed, with CON
crete outlet and inlet The island
comprises 1872 acres, but only 14O
acres will be irrigated. Heretofore
the land has been watered from the
same source by pipe line carried on
trestles, but the system has not been
satisfactory. The job will require
considerable labor, as Golfer dams will
have to be used in laying the pipe in
the river bed.

Peace by Spring

A Berlin dispatch says: "But by
the spring we probably shall have
peace" This remark by one of the
most highly placed and prominent
state officials in conversation with the
Associated Press correspondent may
be taken as an indication of the view
on the probable duration of the war
held in German government quarters
or at any rate in certain influential
circles of the government. Asked
to give a reason for his opinion as to
the time the war would end the Of
fetal replied that he based his ex-
pectations largely on "The sound
business sense of the British" which
would lead them to move for peace as
soon as they saw nothing was to be
gained by continuing the war. 81 have
much confidence in the business sense
of the British" he said, "and think
that when once they have found the
Dardanelles cannot be forced, this will
lead them to take steps in the
direction of peace"

On Tuesday, to Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Howard, a daughter.

While curing meat for family use
seems to be a lost art among many
farmers, the following recipe may be
worth preserving and the ease with
which it can be followed may stimu-
late few to put up enough pork for
next summer: To 100 pounds of hams
and shoulders, good barrel salt nine
pounds, saltpeter 2 ounces, potash Ia
ounces, brown sugar 21a pounds, wa
ter AZ gallons. Cover the meat in
barrel with layer of salt Lay the
hams closely, just so the brine can
work between them. Dissolve all the
ingredients in hot water, then add the
remainder of the water and when all
is cold, pour over meat. If there is
not enough to cover well, add little
more brine, keeping the proportions.
Meat must be perfectly cold before
packing. Hams and shoulders so cured
will be ready for smoking in six weeks
Smoke with hook down so as to retain
ali juices.

fact, it is only in recent years Idaho

were shipped from Gooding and were

Idaho had practically no hogs, and
this year the state will have attained
