Initial MoUe To
 ReUiUe Old Mine
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

It is quite probable that the old Jersey Lily gold mines, of Hassay. ampa district, will soon be revived R. H. Burmister has returned, after making an inspection of underground conditions, and states the mine tim bers are well preserved and the work ings are open for examination, ex- cept in one place, where a small cave in has taken place. The machinery remains serviceablc, and the build ings are in good condition. Negotia- tions have been pending for several months for this gold producer of a generation ago, and it is reported a sale will soon be made.

PROVEN PAGERS REQUIRE NEW
 PLANT
BIG GOLD VALUES ON LYNX CREEK DETER MINED BUT NEW PRO- CESS IS NEEDED.
(From Tuesdays DaiIy.l

While a suspension or dredging has been ordered on Lynx creek at the old hydraulic placer diggings, so far as the resources of that belt are to be considered, it is stated by those behind this undertaking, that there is no question whatever of the attrac- tive possibilities of this proposition. In fact several cleanups of gold dust were surprising in returns, but that the machinery is by far too made quate to operate successfully, is con clusively established
 The plant in short, has been shat tered, and it is stated that more substantial apparatus will soon be in troduced It is reported that either a dredge, now in use in Montana, is to be dismantled and the machinery on the boat shipped to this point, or a new plant constructed in Kansas City. The difficulty seems to be to handle the boulder formation, which is so extensive that the plant oper- ates at a disadvantage in coming in contact herewith, resulting in ire quent breakdowns.
 Those behind this movement, while disappointed with their dredging pro cess, nevertheless are elated over the placer values from various zones of the big field, and will persist in oper- ating to solve the mechanical end of the problem.

L. NJ. A. wants to know about thin and thick soled shoes and light and heavy weight clothing.
 Answer: Don't wear thin soled shoes. One may take cold from chill ing of the feet as the result of wear ing thin soled shoes in walking over cold pavement, even when the pavement is perfectly dry.
 In spite of the fact that modern fashions favor light clothing, there are still some people who wear too heavy clothes. If your work is in doors, where it is warm, dress light ly, and put on extra clothes when you go out in the cold Of course warm weather demands light cloth ing.

C. A. T. writes she has dandruff and asks what can she do to obviate it.
 Answer: Dandruff can be easily remedied by rubbing the head thor oughly once Or twice a day with the hands. Do not use any water on your hair, but give it thorough rubbing, rubbing the scalp all over thoroughly with the hands, massag- ing and kneading the scalp. Don't use hair tonics Nothing will pre- vent the hair from falling out in the way of tonics. Salt water is good, if it is very carefully brushed on to the scalp with a tooth brush, wet ting only the roots of the hair. This should only be done three times a week. Do not wet the hair at any time or comb it. Brush it lightly with soft brush once a day. Let it go loose as much as possible. Let the sun shine on your head as much as possible. If your vitality could be increased, elimination of the body and perfect health restored, the hair would quit falling out Falling hair is one symptom of depression of the nervous system. Constipation causes dandruff, as the blood which goes to feed the hair is poisoned. Dandruff requires general toning up of the body, eat plenty of fresh vegetables, bathe internally and ex- formally and thus cleanse the system and 1t will disappear.

MEXICAN IMBROGLIO
Results in Serious Injury to the
Participants

Jose Eserada, a well known Mexican
field boss, is in the hospital at La Junta
seriously injured and Mexican beet
topper whose name is not known, is
lying near him at the point of death as
the result of an alteration which took
place in beet field near the Sheath
farm in Patterson valley early last
Saturday morning.
From the stories told by the partici-
pants it appears that the strange
hombre took umbrage at Eserada when
the latter found fault with his method
of topping beets and pulling revolver
took a couple of shots at the fieldman,
one of the bullets piercing his body.
Tho seriously wounded Eserada crawl
ed to his coat and procured his own
gun, when he took deliberate aim at
his opponent, shooting him in the side.
Examination at the hospital showed
that Eserada's bullet had entered the
strange Mexicans vitals and no hope is
entertained of his recovery, while the
fieldman tho dangerously wounded may
pull thru.

BUYING NEW COWS FOR DAIRY
Animals Who Have Lost Capacity for
Handling HOMEGROWN Roushase
Should Be Avoided.

In buying new cows for the dairy
one should buy from farmers who
practice rational methods of feeding.
preferably from those who do not
feed too much grain and rich concen-
trates.
Many cows have been fed so much
grain that they have lost their ca
pacity for handling homegrown
roughage.
Such cows are no longer profitable
dairy producers and should be avoid
ed when buying new cows TO- the

Decided Upon as City Tax
Levy for This Year
CITY COUNCIL
HAS BUSY SESSION
Petitions to Open Streets and Install
Street Lights Are Referred-Big
Batch of Bills Allowed

At the regular meeting of the
city council last Friday evening
the most interesting matter for
adjudication was that of deciding
upon the amount of the tax levy
that would be necessary in order
to meet expenses for the coming
year. The assessed valuation OF
Rocky Ford for 1915 had just
been reported as S2,493,560-a
slight decrease from that of last
year-and in order to meet the
city expenses it was decided that
an additional half mill levy would
he necessary, SO it was moved by
Alderman Stratton, seconded by
Alderman Price, and carried by
unanimous vote of the council
that the city tax levy for this year
should be fixed at 10.5 mills.
A petition from property
owners on North Fourth street,
asking to have that street opened
thru to the county road, was read
and referred to the street and
alley committee with instructions
to report at next meeting.
A petition for street light at
the intersection of South Thir-
teenth street and the Rocky Ford
ditch was referred to the light
committee with power to act.
The water committee was in
structed to file complaints against
all parties allowing ditch water to
run onto the streets in the future.
1t appears that the Mountain
States Telephone and Telegraph
Co. has not yet reached settle

clerk at this meeting WAS instruct
ed to present a claim for the
amount due for the use of the
streets, alleys and public grounds
since Nov. 90, 1914, and to
promptly mail notice each
month in the fnture.
The fire warden was instructed
to notify all parties who did not
have ashpits on their premises
that they must have them erected
at once, and 500 feet of additional
hose was upon motion ordered fol
his use.
Bills to the amount of $2, S95. 81

Near Factory In Chino. Calf.

That the A. B. S. Co. has learned
the value of operating big dairy
farms in connection with their factories
may be understood by the following
from the California correspondence to
the November number of Sugar:
1.-THE American Beet Sugar Co., at
Chino, is arranging to start model
dairy on its land near the factory,
Some time ago when it was discovered
that many acres of beet land belonging
to the company were apparently weak
from want of proper fertilization, it
was suggested that the factory estab-
lish big dairy farm to use the beet
pulp from the sugar factory and build
up the soil of the beet fields with the
fertilizer from the dairy barns. The
company already has a model hog farm
and the separated milk from the dairy
could be used to advantage in fattening
hogs. The company plans to increase
its stock of hogs to the point where it
will keep thousands of them. Sixty

SWINK MILL
'"'''' de- DESTROYED
First Rocky Ford Manufac-
tory Goes UP in Smoke
NOTHING BUT BRICK
SKELETON REMAINS
Mill and Elevator Built by Late Sen
atOr Swink and With Machinery
Cost Nearly $4,000


By the burning of the old Swink
mill and grain elevator on Mon
day afternoon the first manufac
turing establishment of any
prominence in this city and, when
established nearly II quarter of
century ago, the only flour mill
between Denver and Wichita, has
passed away and nothing but
gaunt and tottering brick walls
now mark the place that for many
years was busy hive of industry.
How the fire was started will
probably never be known. as the
mill had been idle for the. past
five years and only the mice were
known to have habitation therein,
but when the fire department
reached the scene in response to
an alarm from the Arkansas VAL
ley Railway, Light and Power
Co. sub station, the interior of the
elevator was a seething mass of
flame and thru the several OPEN
ings upon all three floors was
gushing into the mill proper in
such volume even Niagara of
wafer would not have quenched
the flame.
Seeing the building was doomed
the fire department turned its
efforts to preventing the spread of
the fire to surrounding buildings,
in which they were successful.
AS the elevator was lined and
butressed with massive timbers
and in addition was the temporary
repository for couple of carloads
of seasoned oak intended for use
in the Swiuk reservoir system it
may well be imagined that this
was the hottest fire that our de-
partment has ever had TO contend
with and much praise is due the
boys that they kept it from spread
ing, as Il stiff wind was blowing
aud carrying burning embers for
blocks.
Tho the mill had been built by
I the late Senator Swink SO many
years ago it WAS quite modern in
equipment the old and obsolete
machinery having been replaced
by new and up-to-date devices, so
il is not to be wondered at that a
recent offer of SlC,0On had been
refused for property that origi-
nally cost nearly $4,000.
Thru its being idle and without
tenant the Swink executors were
unable to procure Insurance upon
the property, so that, outside OF n
few hundred dollars that may be
secured from the galvinized iron,
brick and mass of twisted and
broken machinery, it is n COM
plete loss to the heirs.
