MINE OUTPUT IN
NORTH $4O,OOO,OOO
Northern Producers Establish Record
In 1916 by Speeding Up to Take Ad-
vantage of High War Prices.

ROISE-State Mine Inspector R. N.
Bell returned a few days ago from a
three weeks inspection trip to the
Occur d'Alene mining district in Sho-
shone county, and reports that ia
nous northern district as enjoying
the highest peak of prosperity in its
entire history.
An ore yield was made in the year
that will aggregate more than 25,000,-
900 pounds of lead contents.
The figures of output for 1916, says
Mr.. Bell, are not nearly complete, but
he estimates, from available informa-
ton at hand at this date, that they
viii aggregate fully as much in gross
value with more than $10000,000 in
dividends.
The prohibition question says Mr.
Bell has worked to the decided adj
vantage of mine operatives and its
rigid enforcement is responsible. he
thinks. for big reduction in the us
ual list of mine accidents this year as
compared with former years.

coRNFR FOR COOKS
ALLIGATOR PEAR

AS the alligator pear is gaining
more and more in popular use, a fact
proved by the great amount of the
fruit now imported, one cannot know
too many ways of using it to supple,
ment the daily menu. In Mexico the
pear is known as ''aguacate' or 'avo-
cado," both names fitting the fruit
better than the misleading name of
alligator" In shape only, it resem-
bles the pear family, and its surface
is smooth and waxyJ
The main reason for the fruit is
from the last of May until ate fall
The trees begin bearing when they
are quite small, and as they mature
they resemble the black gum trees of
the north. The pears vary in length
from three inches to six, or even eight
inches, and they come in two co1ors,
one a yellowish green and the other
dull purp1ish shade.
The large seed in the center, when
removed, leaves quite a hole, thus Civ
ing a possibility of stuffing the pear.
The Mexicans use it extensively in all
sorts of salads; when beaten to
pulp, it is called the Mexicans sebut-
ter with which the famous tor
tilla'' is spread. "A few recipes in
which the pear is used a a basis, may
interest northern cooks.

EFFECTIVENESS

When Snithers killed his uncle dear
Behind the garden gate.
He did not soak that pioneer
Somewhere abaft his starboard ear;
He poisoned him with fine and clear
Corrosive sublimate.
I'm like the Teuts," said Snithers;
My motto is effectivenessl''
Jones always hated children small.
in slumber or at play
So when he heard an urchin basvvI
He took him out behind the wall
And chopped him into what you'd call
A Belgian frtcasee.
Said Jones. "A11 humankind should
bless
My species of Effectivness!"
A certain Thinker, full of Think,
hated, front to back,
And so I took him to the brink
Of one large caldEon full of ink,
And gloated as saw him sink
To be a spectre black
Murder? You wrong me! Twas no
less
Than up-to-date Effectiveness
The style of Browns suburban cot
Shocked my aesthetic sense,
And so simply went and got
A healthy firebrand, very hot,
And kerosene, a drenching lot,
And burned that residence.
Arson? You fill me with distress
merely used, Effectiveness!
Effectivene ssl All. black is white
When in your glass tits seen.
A halo tops King Dynamite,
The mightiest monarch in our sight
And little children find delight
In Hunger, sweetest Queen!
Admiring peoples, comet express
Your reverence for Effectiveness!

Orlove Chicken Farm
Will Be Abandoned


The famous OrIove farm, upon
which George Or1ove, expert poultry
fancier, noted throughout New Eng
land and the United States, has spent
thousands of dollars. will soon be
abandoned and probably will be de-
veIoped to take care of the city S
growth if rumor prevalent in real es-
tate and financial circles, has basis.
Action in the superior court to fore
close on a first mortgage held by Miss
Louise Fredericl<s of this city, has
been brought by Comley & Com1ey,
and will be heard during the coming
week.
1t is admitted by attorneys that Mr..
Orlove who is at present in Washing
ton, D. C., will not protect his inter
est and that there is a likelihood a
New Haven realty. concern. holding a
second. cortgage will assume obliga-
lions seems probable.
In this event the handsome build
ings' which contain all the sanitary
arrangements known to modern pou1-
try science will be removed and the
place will no more attract its hum
dreds of fanciers from all over the
east, as it has in the past.
The tract of land, comprising about
40 acres, sets upon n high hill on the
Stratfield road just beyond the city
limits and commands an excellent
view of the Sound.
