HENS LAY DESPITE
 UNAVOIDABLE WEATHER
Thirteenth Week Shows the competi ton at Storrs to Be Well Ahead of Last Year.

In the thirteenth week of the laying contest at StOrrs there was just one
 day of sunshine, the others were
 cloudy with rain and snow and a de-
 cided cold wave during which the thermometer for two nights lowered close to zero. In spite of the unfavOr- able weather conditions, particularly
 the absence of sunshine, the hens
 gained S7 eggs over the preceding week last year and laid PIT eggs for
 the week. Furthermore they chose
 Sunday the last day of the contest week for another record setting a days production at S37 eggs.
 The Wandottes made a clean sweep
 of the first three places for the week. MerTythousht Farms pen of Colum-
 bians from Columbia, Conn, duplicat- ed their performance of last week and won with 46 eggs. Tom Barron's pen of English Wyandottes were a close second with a yield of 45 eggs adn tl Storrs stations sour milk pen of a.-dottes were an equally close thI. with a yield of fl.

THE IDAHO NORTHERN.
Twenty Feet of Good Milling Ore Re-
ported in Drift.

j. O. Nordquist, manager of the
Idaho Northern Mining company
which is developing group of claims
north of Murray and adjoining the
Jack Waite on the east, gives a most
flattering report of the showing on
that property. There are two strong
veins, both of which have been cut at
depth and which intersect on the
company's ground Both of them car
ry both lead and copper In the larg-
er vein, which is 70 feet In width, lead
predominates, and on this a drift Is
being run which Is now within 100 feet
of the point where the two veins are
expected to intersect and where a great
body of ore is also expected. Mr..
Nordquist says that they now have
about 20 feet of good milling ore in
the face of the drift and the showing
is steadily improving, and he confid-
emily expects the Idaho Northern to
develop into one of the big mines Of
the district The present work has
depth of about 200 feet, but 1t is pos
sible to gain fully 1900 feet additional
depth by tunnel

en-, and the lower tunnel which is be-
ing driven to cut the vein about $50
