 Increased activity in tungsten min ing in Boulder county has followed an anticipated boom in the price of the metal
 The Midget is to build a cyanide mill 10 treat ore it estimates to be worth s2,0O0.000, and the Cripple Creek Cyanide Company will build on Beacon hill.
 The Iron City conceutrator, below Black Hawk, is kept busy handling ore fro mall portions of Gilpin county. and three shifts are necessary to meet the demands of the miners.
 LeadvilIe's famous gold mine, the Little Jorny, which has record pro duction of s25.OOO, 900, of which sl5,- O00, 900 is rated as profit, is once more in luck with another rich strike.
 In Gilpin county Denver men have secured a lease of the Concrete claims west of the Gunnel mine on the same vein. and intend to work it extensively. It is reached by the Ar go tunnel.
 The second annual convention Of the Colorado Metal Mining Assccia- tion, which will take on added i'm portance this year in the light of the important effect on mining wrought by the war. will convene in Denver Jan. II.
 The discovery of bonanza ore has become a daily occurrence in the Grip pie Creek district, now commanding the attention of the world because of the exceptional richness of the ore veins at 1000 to 2,0OO feet below Erass-roots.
 Although the mines of the Cripple Creek camp have produced s32s,00O,' 900 froIa their present workings, it is expected that in the future enormous sums will be realized from the deeper development on which the entire dis trict is now bent.
 The Portland's 1,700-foot level is producing ore of extraordinary rich ness. as is the 1,S00-foot level of the Vindicator The Cresson 1,200 and l. 3OO-foot strike meanwhile is said 10 be the richest in the world, and esti- mates of its value run to s6,000,O00.
 The Bluebird on Bull Hill, with the highest shaft in the Cripple Creek district, has been leased by Nelson Franklin, manager of the Eagle sam pier, for five years. The main shaft will be sunk 15 feet below it's pres ent depth of 1850 feet. Robert C.. Mullins is organizing company to de velOp other bull hill claims. Mullins was formerly president of the Fl Orc, recently bought by Col T. B. Bur Bridge. Mayor James E. Handley of Cripple Creek heads company to ex- plore Gold hill at great depths.

Mining men who have looked over the Tom Reed section of the Blue Ridge range. are predicting a boom for that section.
 Louis Lusk of Kingman is getting his milling plant at the Red Hills mines in shape to crush ore within the next sixty days. At the same time he has sunk the shaft on the old Fay mine to a depth of 200 feet, drifted 12o feet on the vein and opened up a splendid body of ore. The vein av- erages from ten inches to two feet

PREPARING LAND FOR FLAX
Deep Flowing Found to Be All Right If Rains Followed Immediately-
 Experiments in Colorado.

By ALVIN KEYSER, Colorado Experi-
 ment Station.)
 Experience with flax on the plains through the seasons of 1909-l3, show that to be successful, flax land must be well prepared. In those seasons when there is considerable spring moisture, sufficient to compact soils that were plowed, deep blowing gave the best results. These better results from deep blowing in these cases where there was moisture enough, were due in a large part to the clean ness of the land, that is. the freedom of the soil from weeds. It was uni formly noticed that the deep plowed land was not as foul as the shallow plowed. Deep blowing was found to be all right if rains followed immedi- ately, or if the blowing was done sev- eral months ahead of planting so that compaction and settling took place.
 In 1913, deep blowing just before planting the crop almost caused com plete failure, because rains did not follow sufficient to moisten the plowed layer and compact the subsurface. If deep blowing is used. therefore, in preparing the seed bed, it should be done at a considerable time before planting. Where blowing is done i'm mediately prior to planting. blowing should be shallower, say six or seven inches at the outside. and should be followed up immediately with the disk harrow. to compact and fill up the subsurface. Smooth, wellprepared land greatly insures the success of the crop. This was especially shown in experiments of 1911 and 1912, and was shown up in the other years.

The development of the Thermopo- lis oil fields has been pushed as much as possible the past season.
 The production of the metal mines in Wyoming for eleven months in 1914 with an estimate for December, &C., cording to preliminary figures by Charles W. Henderson of the United States Geological Survey, amounted to s2,s5O in gold. 100 ounces of silver and l7,ooo pounds Of copper, which Is q decrease for all metals compared with 1913.

Tendency Toward Smaller Tires.

Among users of the larger and more luxurious cars there is growing ten dency to the use of smaller tires in front than are mounted on the back wheels-not, as might at first be sup
 posed of larger tires behind. The dis tinction is that the use of very large tires in front is considered not only a source of inconvenience and some risk in ordinary driving. but a positive menace in the event of a blown-out front tire. In the event of a blowout the greater the difference in diameter between the inflated and defiated tires, respectively, the greater the liability of being guided off the road before re
 gaining control or applying the brakes

of the railway mail service and at the
request Of the general superintendent he
now is preparing a report to send to

are working in conjunction with the

seek to increase the number Of efficient

avowed purpose being that of

No Official Recognition
Beyond this request, the Amer
can minister to Norway and the

have received no communications
from the party. Both will re-
ceive Mr., Ford as a private citi-
zen, only, and he will receive no
special attention other Than that

At this capital it has been an
