The Sunnyside Camp Again in the
Producing List-New Work
ines All Over the Camp.


over that part of the field. Many
of the old mines have been re-
opened and are now producing
large quantities of high grade
ores.
The lands of the Iowa and Ok
lahoma Mining Company are
coming in for their share of de-
velopment, and twenty or more
places are at work on these lands.
One of the most notable work
iugs on these lands is the mine of
Cunningham, Newton & Newton.
These men took a ten-acre lease
on the land where the old Tom
Clark diggings were. Instead of
going into the old ground they
sank a new shaft and since strik-
ing the ore have taken out sever
al hundred dollars worth of ore
every day, while prospecting the
ground. They have a drill at
work determining the ore body,
and are going to build a mill. So
far they have drilled six holes and
have not had blank. The ore
they are saving in their prospect
ing work is mostly lead and sill
cate. They are piliug up the
rough for the mill. This proper
ty is called the Fifty-Fifty.
Homer Bradley and associates
have taken a lease on the old Red
Wing ground and are already taxi
ing out some nice rich dirt. They
will thoroughly drill the ground
and in other ways determine the
size of the concentrating mill they
will erect.
The old Sunburst property has
been taken over by some Chicago
people who will develop it for all
it is worth. This is a good piece
of property but was never handled
by practical men before. Sever
al thousand tons of rough stuff
are on the dump. This will all
be cleaned.
Scanland, Ratcliff G. McAnally
have taken a ten-acre lease north
east of the Sunburst and will sink
a shaft to the ore which has been
found by drilling.
Jack Hawthorne G. Company
have taken a ten-acre lease just
northeast of the Fifty-Fifty, and
will drill it thoroughly. Ore has
been found on this ground, but
these people are going to find out
how extensive the ore body is be-
fore planning a mill.
Southeast of the Fifty-Fifty,
Helvy & Weems have a ten-acre
lease and have their new shaft
into ore already. The ore is found
at about the 72-foot level, and
from the present outlook it is go
ing to be fully as rich as the
Fifty-Fifty.
The ground formerly known as
the Lancaster is going to be
opened up again. When a deep
drill hole was put down on this
for water very rich dirt
was found from us to 205 feet.
but as the price of ore was not
high in those days, and there was
plenty of ore not so far from the
the deep ore was not gone
after. The new lessees, however,
are going after it.
Charlie Dawes and Johnny Bry-
ant have the water out of their
Bonnie Bell shaft and in a few
lays will be ready to sell ore.
This ground is a flint formation,
very rich in soft lead, and the
water is not strong. They keep
t down with three inch pump
'un by a two-horse gasoline
engine.

Red-Necktle Problem.

New York, with its well-known pro
vincialism, is in the throes Of con-
troversy that threatens to become as
bitter as the conflict between the pre-
paredness advocates and the peace-at-
any-price adherents. And the cause Of
1t is the last thing in the world you
would guess-the red necktie ito be or
not to be-" to quote the bard whose
memory Is now being honored. There
are anti-red clubs, black-silk-knitted
tie clubs, red-at-any-cost clubs, and va
rious other organizations based on
what their members believe is the
correct thing in ties. A colonel who
served in the Civil war under Custer
has come out as strong advocate Of
the red, flaming tie, as that's what
Custer wore with his old union suit"
both In the Civil and the Indian wars.
As the fight wakes the haberdashers
stocked up with the red neck circle
get sadder and sadder. The point GER
tainly is a small one to stir up q city.

CdlVin. Believes
End Of War Near
BY J.. J. Garvin. Editor OF the Pal,
Mall Gazette

5 London, July 10. Although We are
only at the beginning of what must
come, we know, whatever the cost
may be. the reward is sure. For the
first time. the Germans know the ex-
tent OF their underestimation OF the
entente powers.
Everything confirms the conviction
expressed last week that the allies
are marching on the high road to vic
tory. Peace may come sooner than
could have been believed even one
week ago.
i On the other hand, endurance OF
the allies may yet be tested to the
utmost for another year or even a
little longer. The strength OF the
western allies with their inccmpara-
lie artillery is in sense the most
solid security for the success OF an
all around offensive.
The allies main purpose will be
served If they reduce the enemy
where he stands, II the German lines
nre kept at the present length they
are too thin somewhere
+, Germany has shown no sign that
II has sufficient reserves to sustain
the struggle with success for anoth-
er year on the present fronts. II can
NO longer transfer masses Of troops
from front to front TO overbear each
antagonist in turn.
The relative excellence Of. this lat:
efal communication with either main
theater no longer helps. 1t cannot
shift troops with safety even from
sector to sector in the same theater.
| All the armies Of the central league
have their hands full and must fight
where they stand.
II Is indispensable. for the progress
of the common cause that the Franco
British armies should hold. grind aud
batter the Germans where the lines
are deepest and strongest and the
communications most highly organic
ed but II we had to reckon solely or
mainly upon our direct results In the
west we would have to estimate for
a very slow though sure, program, as
from this side OF Europe there Is no
short cut to victory, but the Russian
factor Is incalculable. II may march
fast and hasten the end by bringing
about a collapse OF Austria. In any
case. we may reasonably expect that
the allies purpose will be more rap
idIy advanced from thr eastern eide.

Men With Means
Are Attracted To
Local Project

Much interest from outside of Cache
Valley is being shown in the devel.
opment OF the waterlogged lands ,g of
this valley as being undertaken by
the Logan Land and Drainage Com.
pany. Several experts on drainage
have been over the project and not
few men with means have quietly
slipped in here to view the progress
Of the work. Among these men were
Chaplin A. Day. connected with the
Marshal Field Company of Chicago,
and his son, II. c. Day.
Mr.. Day expressed great admira.
ton for the beauty of Cache Valley
and its apparent prosperity. He sees
n great future for the county. He
thinks that draining farm lands is
about to usher in an era o: greatly
increased production. He has seen
what has been done in the east, cs,
pecially around Chicago and south
ern Indiana, and thinks that what has
been done there with swamps and
river bottoms will undoubtedly be
duplicated here. Mr.. Day compli
mented the Logan Land and Drain

MAMMA"

The report that British airmen
dropped $4,000 pounds OF. food on Kut-
el-Amara before the garrison surren-
dered, inevitably suggests the Biblical
reference to mama from heaven. The
notion OF the Arabs that mama was q
dew deposited on the leaves of shrubs
is reminder that the phenomenon of
honey dew on the leaves Of the elm ia
to be found in the United States. II
may be observed on hot and dry days
in August The upper surfaces of the
leaves become vanished with a solu-
BILE sweet gum which hardens in the
sun. The Persians gather a kind Of
mama from q leguminous plant by
shaking its branches or picking the
leaves and beating them gently over
a cloth when dry. Throughout Persia
and Afghanistan mama Is harvested
from different trees and shrubs. II 10

to India. But the mama OF COM

known as the mamma ash. comes chief

SPIDERS WORK FOR LIVING
insects Also Seem 90 Find Il Conven.
lent to Go on Strikes When
Occasion Demands.

Spiders probably are the most in.
dispensable workmen IN one OF the
largest surveying instrument fac
tories. II is their duty to spin the
delicate thread which is used for the
cross hairs to mark the exact center
OF the object lens in the surveyors
telescope.
The spiders produce during a two
months spinning season thousands of
yards Of web, which is wound upon
metal frames and stored away until
needed. A few weeks ago a certain
entire colony. for no apparent reas-
son, went on q strike. Everybody
was worried until the "forewoman"
Of the spiders. after patient coaxing,
finally induced them to begin spin
ming again.
Spider web is the only suitable ma
terial yet discovered for the cross
hairs Of surveying instruments. Al
most invisible As this fiber IL to the
naked eye. It IL brought up in the
powerful lenses OF the telescope to
the size Of . mans thumb, SO that
all defects, II there happened to be
any. would be magnified to such Q
degree that the web should be use
less. Human hair has been tried, but
when magnified It has the apparent
dimensions of . rough-hewn lamp
post. Moreover. human hair 10 trans.
parent, and cross hairs must be
opaque.
A spider at work" bangles in the
air by its invisible thread, the upper
end being attached to a metal wire
frame whirled in the hands OF a girl.
The girl frst places the spider on her
hand until the protruding end OF the
thread has become attached. When
the spider attempts to leap to the
ground this end is quickly attached
to the center Of the whirling frame,
and as the spider pays out thread
from its pouch this line is wrapped
around the frame. Several hundred
feet of thread can be removed from q
spider at one time.
The spiders are kept in q large
room, under the supervision OF three
girls and a fore%oman. When not
spinning the little workmen are
placed in q large wooden cage Flies
are the chief article Of diet. During
the winter months the spider colony
usually dies, so that an entirely new
corps Of workmen must be recruited.
Not every spider will do-only large.
fat fellows, that spin q tough, round
thread, are suitable.
