New Field of Copper
 Ore Near Boundary

Important discoveries of copper ore have been made in the south Ajo dis Patty Finn. Walter Holm and Pat Kelly. we'll known Warren district prospectors, who have returned to Bis bee after prospecting in the Ajo coun- try for a number of months The dis coveries were announced just after Dr. Courtenay De Kalb's statement that Pima county almost surely contains other Ajo's be. ide the one developed by the C. and A.
 Finn was the first of the three to make rip into the section. He las cen prospecting in the country for many months. La c last sumner wit d pack outfit be left Gila Bend and .s- ter passing through Ajo. where the New Cornciis is located. pressed on toward the Mexican border
 Finally Finn struck good looking ground and camped near a spring. It was early in September and the claims have been called September Morn,"
 Finn remained in the camp about a month and returned to Bisbee. He in- duced Walter Holm and Pat Kelly. both well known miners of the distrc, 10 accompany him to the property. They left late in October and have been at the camp since that time.
 The property is abou, fourteen miles north of the Mexican boundary and south of the New Cornelia. It is also within i5 or 20 miles of the his,os,s and patented Gunsite mine. The only way in which it can be safely reached at the pres nt time is by train to Cila Bend and from there by wa gon or au- tomobile to Ajo and thence to the camp by pack animals.
 The ground runs high in copper values according to all of the prospectors.

Orleans County Agricultural Associa-
ton Notes.

E. Sawin, a recent graduate of
the Randolph Agricultural School
who has been assisting the County
Agent for the last month, is COM
pleting the last round of spraying
in the apple orchards on about
twenty farms as a part of the demon
stration for this year. AS the frosts
have done considerable damage to
the fruit it will hardly show the
improvement in quality of fruit
which we desired to demonstrate by
spraying but the results of spraying
are evident already for controlling
the caterpillar and other pests.
A Stock Judging Contest for boys
in Orleans county is being planned
for by the extension service of the
state in cooperating with the
County Agent. The contest will b.
at the Barton fair and the winner
of this contest will have the privi-
lege of taking part in a similar con-
test at the State Fair later in the
season. Mr.. Dana who is training
the contestants will be in Orleans
county the week of July 1917 to
meet all who intend to enter the con-
test. Any boy under eighteen years
of age is eligible to compete. The
County Agent is anxious to make
this success and will be glad to
answer any inquiry regarding it.
If you are contemplating taking
part in the contest send your name
to the County Agent as soon as pos
sible.

He thought he could fight it and

AFTER FOURTEEN YEARS.

After fourteen years of preaching
throughout the different states, dur
ing which time he suffered many vi

Rev. j. w. Buckalew returned to
Trian to hold series of meetings in
his native town. Of course all turn

the past they had only known as
a drunkard and bad man, and of
course, as might naturally be expect
ed, the meetings were a success.
But a Methodist minister attended
the meeting one night and after lis
tening to his preaching and watch
ing his manner of conducting the
service, went out and said, That
poor illiterate Holiness preacher is

series of meetings in the Opera

boarded in a restaurant. Here the
crowds became so large he had to
move into an open grove. Then the
call took him to Rome, Ca, where
he preached in the open street. For
some reason, through the violation
of s)me ordinance or otherwise, the
police tried to stop him, but becon1-
ing interested, they listened with the
rest. But the meetings were soon
