TREATING Calves For Scours,

Calves that scour are treated in the
following manner: AS soon as symp-
toms appear from two to four table
spoonfuls of castor oil are mixed with
one-half pint of milk and given to the
calf. This is followed in from four to
six hours by a teaspoonful Of a mix
ture of one part salol and two parts
subnitrate Of bismuth. This, too, can
be given in one-half pint of milk, or the
powder may be placed on the calf's
tongue and washed down with a small
amount of milk. The allowance of
feed should be reduced at once and
not increased until the condition of the
calf warrants. In mild cases castor oil
is unnecessary and therefore can be
omitted.-Wisconsin Agricultural Col

GREAT BEND HAS
LOW GRADE ORE
CROSS-CUT AND DRIFT ON 400

GOOD QUARTZ

The Great Bend company is de-
yeloping its property in a comprehen-
sive manner, under the direction of
superintendent Jack Campbell, who
was in charge of the early day opera
tions ON the nearby Quartzite proper
ty, when a large extraction of high
grade shipping ore was made, and
who is thoroughly familiar with this
territory. The Great Bend property
has excellent equipment, the surface
plant being duplicate or that install
ed at the Velvet shaft of the Jumbo
Extension company.
In driving a crosscut TO the south,
toward the footwall of the great lode.
a large body of quartz has been pene-
trated that yields encouraging assays
in gold, and drifts are to be extended
east and west along this low-grade
ore. The east drift, also on the 400
foot level, has been following the
course of the main vein and has also
exposed quartz of good appearance.
This drift is seeking the downward
extension of body of rich ore ex-
posed by early lessees in a winze be-

PLENTY OF WATER
IS NOW ASSURED
PRECIPITATION FOR STORM TO
DATE is ABOUT AN INCH OF
MOISTURE

Since the beginning Of the storm,
up to o'clock this morning, the pre-
cipitation in the form of rain and melt
ed snow was $50 of an inch. Since S
o'clock the precipitation has been
heavier than before and by this hour
1t is probable that full inch of pre-
cipitation has fallen.
Reports from Goldfield are that the
storm in heavy there also, while Man
haitian summit Is covered SO deeply
that it is closed to auto traffic The
rain that fell in Tonopah last night
was snow on the greater elevations
and huge drifts were formed, ensuring
an ample supply of water for next sea
son, even though there should be de-
ficiency for the remainder OF the sea
son.
Dave S. Llewellyn VINO forced his
way through the drifts from Round
Mountain yesterday afternoon, says
that the snowfall on the watersheds is
now so heavy that there will be plenty
of water for hydraulic operations all
through the season.

MERGER MINES CO.
TO DRIVE A RAISE
WORK HAS REACHED A POINT
WHERE INTERESTING RE-
SUITS ARE PROBABLE

In the property of the Godfeld
Merger Mines company the crosscut
on the 1175-foot level is being driven
TO the north, in the Sunfower claim
and in the shale, having passed out
of the latte and through the silicified
zone marking the contact between the
latte and shale. The work is now
progressing toward the point where
the bonanza ore-channel of the Jumbo
Extension, adjoining on The west, is
believed to enter the Sunfiower claim
of the Merger, but at this point, ac-
cording to present indications, the
contact is considerably above the
1175-foot level of the Merger, says the
Tribune,
1t is the plan of Manager Willis
Lawrence to drive raise from this
crosscut to reach the shale contact,
starting this work within the next
week or 10 days, and to prospect the
contact zone from this point Geo.
II. Carey, the eminent geologist who
has been retained as consulting en-
gineer for the Merger company, is ex-
pected here shortly to confer with
Manager Lawrence upon future plans
of development and to elaborate on
the system decided upon earlier by
the two engineers.

Judge Walsh declined to exercise

saying in part as follows: 1.-THE AFT

testimony OF the six jurors who were
on the stand goes to another question.
In dealing with the latter phase coun.

jurors. The jury did recommend the

at length the law governing gross mis-

the wife OF the defendant should be

declined to depart from his original
ruling that the defendant should not
be admitted to bail pending the an.

Attorney Detch then took an ex.

exercise its right of discretion
and admit the defendant to bail
He said: you have abused the
discretionary right imposed in the
