FINE WORK BY BOYS AND GIRLS

A splendid showing is being made
by the boys and girls who are inter-

carried on by the Olympia Poultry
is that practically all of the members
have chosen to rear stock of stan
dard and general utility value.
Almost no calls were made for eggs
from purely ornamental varieties and
the list of breeders shows that the
old-established varieties are the ia

come first with 10 admirers, White
Wyandottes second with II, White
Leghorns third with II and Rhode
Island Reds fourth with II. The re-
naming dozen members are divided
between White and Buff Orpingtons,
White Rocks and Brown Leghorns.
No doubt specially clubs will be
organized among the membership and
the breeders of the different varie-
ties will vie with each other in maxi
ing the finest displays at the fall
fairs and winter shows.

flames by night have been plainly
visible from Naco and other border

OLIVE GROWING in Arr.
IONA

For some time it has become evil
dent that we have conditions in the
arid Southwest favorable to the
growth of the olive tree and to The
production of remunerative crops
of fruit. This fruit may be used
for two purposes-for oil making,
and for pickles. states Director
Forbes of the University of Arizona,
College of Agriculture.
With reference to oil production,
this varies greatly, of course, accord
ing to the varieties of olives used
and to the skill and cleanliness with
which the oil is manufactured.
There is no doubt, however, of the
fact that in time to come we will
have an oil industry of considerable
magnitude in the Southwest afford
ing a supply which at the present
time is almost entirely imported
from the Old World. We are,
therefore, interested in the encour-
agement and development of a home
industry in olive oil.
There are perhaps even greater
possibilities along the line of pickle
manufacture in this region. There
are two general classes of olive
pickles: First, the green pickles,
the taste for which has come to us
through the English who are, of
course, great eaters of relishes,
pickles, ETC., of all kinds. Seconds,
ripe pickles which are rich and
nutritious food, and also much
more palatable to properly developed
taste than the green pickles. We
have learned to eat the ripe olives
largely through the Spanish and
Italian residents in this country, who
have brought their taste for this
food to this country with them.
Italian and Spanish workmen, in
fact, make their midday meal often
times of a handful of ripe olives.
pickles and bread. The ripe olives,
therefore, have possibilities as a
staple article of food, and a large
trade in this commodity will there

Arizona Mines

and one of the plants AT Clifton vi.
closed until March, 1915.
V. G.. Heikes, of the Uni,ed Sta,
Geological Survey, now reports col
dilions improving and all copper
plants brought to full capacity with
two new smeiters blown in DUNG
May. One of these, the CIalkrae
smcirer, will possib y eventually
take the place Of the old smcltcr a;
Jerome for the treatment of the
United Verde ores. While the new
International smeIter at Miami S
built primarily for Inspiration mine
concentrates, it is likely to be in the
market for outside product. BY
this new addition, the copper out
put may be increased slightly, but
will probably not exceed the record
figures of 1913. when 407, 1928. 402
pounds of copper were produced.
Gold production increased in 1914
over 1913, and, according to all re-
ports, is promising to exceed either
year in 1915, chiefly from mines
situated in the San Francisco dis
trict of Mohave county. The chief
producer in that district in 1914 Was
the Tom Reed mine, which yielded
gold bullion valued at $l,002, ,4O6.
Developments have disclosed in new
territory adjacent to the Tom Reed
mine, gold ore of similar character
at depth of 300 feet. This dis
covery has stimulated mining to a
large extent.
Silver has its source chiefly in the
copper ores, but the output may be
increased during 1915 by the new
work on the Tombstone mines and
the increased production of the Com
monwealth silver mine at Pearce.
The high price of zinc has stimu-
lated the production of zinc in many
parts of Arizona, chiefly in Mohave
county, but producers without con,
tracts for the sale of the product
meet very little encouragement from
the zinc buyers. No great increase
in zinc or lead is expected in 1915
over other years.

pie and give these men work which
will enable them to better them
selves in their work at little cost

In doing 50 it has been necessary
to divide the mining men into three
distinct groups, as each group has
to be handled separ ately and dis
tinctly. One group is handled by a
practical short course, entirely diff
ferent than that now practiced, an
other group is handled by the appli-
cation Of the Gary system of com
bining practical education with the
theoretical and the third group is
handled by advanced research and
administrative work.
These changes have made such a
distinct impression on the educa-

public and open the question for
discussion at the annual convention

ing men, the American Mining Con,
