Zinc ore shipments from the zinc
camp for August was very light. Only
three cars were shipped, two by l..
T. Westrich, and the other by l.. L.
Brown. The production, however, was
heavy and the stock of ore is ac-

INCREASE IN PRODUCTION.
The Metal Content Of Arkansas Crude
Ore is Shown to Be Much Higher
That That OF Other States.

The Department of the Interior of
the United States has issued a bull
ietin entitled, silver, Copper. Lead
and Zinc in the Central States in
1915" The statistics for this bulletin
\ were compiled by j. P. Dunlop. and
include the mines report from Arkan.
sas, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Ok
lahoma and Wisconsin.
In the table showing the relative
metal content of the crude ore from
these states, Arkansas leads the list
with a percentage of 3.3l, while Wis
consin, the next highest, shows 277,
and Missouri, 2.32 Thus. the Arkan-
sas crude ore is shown to be richer
in zinc by "a per cent than that of
any of the other central states.
Mr.. Dunlop's report says of the
production of zinc and lead ores in
Arkansas:
"The value of the recoverable lead
and zinc from Arkansas mines in
creased from S65,914 in 1914, to SSO1,-
754 in 1915. This was a. larger pro.
pOrtionate increase than in any other
central state. There was no notable
fease in the output of galena or of
Shalerite, but the shipments of zinc
k3arbonate and silicate were exceeded
only by that of Missouri and the de.
velopment work done indicates that
that Arkansas output of the last men
toned ores will continue to increase
in 1916.
Considerable prospecting and some
mining was carried on for many years,
but the present development has main
ly been accomplished since 1899, when
there was great rush to the north
ern Arkansas field The mines are
principally in Boone and Marion coun-
ties and in the adjoining portions of
Searcy and Newton counties, though

prospects in Baxter, Lawrence, lizard,
Sharp and other counties to the east,
and deposits have been worked in
lxAShingtOn and Sewer counties on
extreme western border of the
state.
"The production in 1914 was that
of less than 30 mines or prospects
that OF 1915 of nearly 100 mines or
prospects. The entire district aw5k-
ened from the lethargy which had pre-
vailed for years and capital from out
side the state was added to that of
local investors. Old mills were re-
fitted and new plants were contracted
for, a few OF which were completed,

HELD FOR MURDER
OF %ANT|-CATA0L|C
Trial of lanes Copeland, Ac-
cused of Shooting Lecturer
Who Shot Two Men at
Marshall, Tex. Z.

Galveston. Tex. Oct. 24.--Veniremen
and opposing counsel crowded the
district court here today for the open
ting of the trial of John Copeland, OF
Marshall, in connection with the kill
ing Of William Black, an i-Catholic
lecturer, in a hotel Of that city, Feb
yuary 3. 1915.
George Tier and George Ryan, w
other Marshall citizens, were indicted
on the same charge as Copeland. Har-
ry Winn and Frank O'Leary, who were
among those first held In connection
with the killing of Black, but subse-
quently were cleared, will be witnesses
for Copeland.
With a venire of 500 men summoned,
selection Of a jury probably will occu-
py the first few days Of h trial. d
The killing of Black, whose home was
formerly at Bellaire, Ohio, took place
ut Marshall a year ago last February.
Black, with Clarence +. Hall and q IT.
year-old girl, Sadie Black, whom he
had just adopted in Pulaski county,
Arkansas, went to Marshall to deliver
lectures entitled .Romanism, a Menace
to Civilization"
on the first night Black directed his
talk against the confessional. He a
advertised further to deliver an ad-
dress against what he alleged to be an
oath Of the knights Of Columbus. In
the Afternoon Of the second day, Feb
ruary 3. four men, Copeland, Tier, Ry-
an and John Rogers, all said to be
members of the Knights of Columbus,
went to his room to ask him not to
speak again. -
A scuffle ensued in which Black and
Rogers were killed and Copeland badly
wounded. #
Testimony at the examining trials
showed that both Black and Hall were
armed when the fight took place. Hall
appeared before the grand jury, but
was never indicted. The cases against
Copeland, Ryan and Tier were brought
here on a change of venue.

FARMERS ADVISED TO
CHECK ~GRASSHOPPERS
Plague Possible Next Year I'm.
less Measures Are Taken
to Destroy Larvae.

Brookings, 8. D., Oct. 23.-"It is very
important that farmers who were
roubled with grasshoppers this season
ihould take immediate steps to de-
Itroy the g~rasshopper eggs in their
felds," says Prof. III. c. SEVERN, state
,ntomologist at State college, because
here are many conditions which favor
an outbreak of grasshoppers- mex year.
Two of the most important OF these
conditions are: % a lack OF parasites
or predacious animals, and CD dry
weather during the early life Of the
hoppers. We know through an exam
ination of the alfalfa fields that the
parasites and p~redacious animals are
not sufficiently abundant to control the
cannot predict the kind Of weather
we shall have during the early life OF
the grasshopper next year."
Professor SEVERN states that grass
hopper eggs may be destroyed by
blowing, discing, narrowing or culti-
waiting g~rasshopper infested fields. The
depth to which the soil need be stirred
Is only two inches, and which of the
foregoing methods Of eradication is
used will depend, first upon the farmer
and his tools and, second, upon the
location of the g~rasshopper eggs. h
object of ~cultivating, narrowing,
discing or shallow blowing is to crush
the eggs or TO break open n eSB
masses and thus expose them to the
drying action Of the sun and wind, to
frost action or to the attacks Of molds
and animals.
Whatever implement is used to de-
stroy the grasshopper eggs" states
Professor SEVERN, "a thorough job
must be done and the implement should
be run not only lengthwise, but also
crosswise over the fields, after the
grasshoppers have deposited their
eggs (after the middle Of October In
1870 n IL possible repeated in the
spring. South Dakota alfalfa growers
nave found a spiked toothed disc or
~renovator desirable because IL destroys
the grasshopper eggs with less injury
to the alfalfa than an ordinary disc"
Professor SEVERN states that alfalfa
growers and others whose fields were
bothered by grasshoppers should
examine the ground for grasshopper
eggs, looking for them not only In the
fields but In TIE narrow strips Of land
bordering alfalfa fields. No great num-
Der OF grasshopper eggs are laid in the
native prairie land, except in the mar
row strips Of land bordering alfalfa
Rnd corn fields. 4

FANCY RETURNS SECURED
FROM CHEAP FARM LANDS

Pierre. S. D.. Oct. 25.-Up in Sully
county last spring a half section Of
land was purchased for $50 an acre. or
$4,000. Two hundred acres OF the tract
was put in flax. and the return this fall
from that crop has been $4,000, or 5000
more than the cost Of the whole tract.
In Potter county. H. A. Lyman put in
nine acres Of alfalfa, from which he
cut q ton to the acre. which he sold
ate $40 per ton, and then secured seed
from the second cutting which he sold
at the rate Of $S2 an acre on a on
tract for delivery. and could have sold
at q better price on the open market.
This means q return Of over $50 an
acre from handling alfalfa on land
which would be held at less than that
