A MODEL MINE

The Pittsburg- Dolores Mining
Company is again running full blast.
Operations were somewhat curtailed
during the past winter, owing to the
unusually heavy fall of snow. The
old workings are producing the usual
amount of ore and drifting is in pro-
gress from hte winze sunk los feet
below the 9th level. Hardly enough
work has been done yet to determine
the extent of the ore bodies. but all
indications are that it is as large as
on the levels above and that the val
ues are equally as good if not better.
The mil is grinding out its usual
amount of ore, about 60 tons day
going through, from which an unusu-
ally high saving is being made, in
fact, since the company started OPP
erations it has added to the korld's
supply of gold over 1926, 900 worth of
that metal. This indicates that un-
de rthe management of experienced
mining and mill operators a great
many of the old properties of this
state can be be made to pay hand
some profits. Mr.. f. j. Schrader
seems to be the right man in the right
place, and we confidently expect to
see him place this property on a div
idend basis before long, for he knows
how, and that has "a great deal to do
with mining profits.

DEPARTMENT OF AGR|CUL LTURE
COMPARES FARMING SUCCESS

1t was found that although the av-
erage labor income for all the groups
was only 1887, the average for the
farmers in the first elass--that fifth
of the farmers who did best--was
$l.42l. In the second class it was
$642. The last class-the fifth of the
farmers who were least successful
got nothing for wages and lost, on
the average, $5l7. That is to say, the
interest on the amount of money rep
resented by their farm, stock, and
equipment would have been SSH
more than the farm returned them
1t should be borne in mind in this
connection that the labor income is
merely the farmers wages, and that
the family has in addition, besides
interest on investment, the use of the
fai mhouse and such fuel and food as
the farm supplies free of money cost
Other demonstrations have pro-
duced similar results. In almost any
northern community, one-fifth of the
farmers are making approximately
ST 900 year more than the average
and $1,000 more than the least sue
cessful This is not luck, nor is ii
altogether, or even chiefly. a ques-
ton of the skill of the individuat
farmer Farther analysis will show
that the successful men are follow
ing certain methods adapted to their
conditions and that the unsuccessful
are not. 1t is the business of the
county agents and farm management
demonstrators to ascertain what what
those methods are and point them

forts affairs have so shaped them
selves as to permit resumption OF
the Fallon plant, will leave for Salt
Lake City tomorrow night and the
new company will be organized there
after his arrival on Monday.
1t is intended to operate the plant
next year. 1t will be impossible tc

cause it is late to plant and harvest

that the big copper NINE at that
point, belonging to the Glasgow and
Western Exploration Company, ha.
been bonded by some of the heaviest
financial interests in New York City
This property has not been worked
since 1890. but up until that time
it had been a steadily producer of the
red metal. practically all of which
was shipped around the Horn to
Swansea, Wales. for treatment
During the interim numerous at
tempts were made to secure lease
on the property. but the Scotch COM
pany. through their American repre-
sentative. Josph Ralph of Salt Lake
City, steadily refused to grant such
preferring to sell outright if they did
not work it again Themselves. In
a letter just received by prominent
Lander county official from Mr.
Ralph. it seems that the company de-
cided to sell, and have done so to the
New York people.
1t is understood THAT these parties
will soon initiate mining operations
on the property, their first work be-
ing to unwater and retimber the
Virgin shaft, after which the laterals
will be opened up and retimbered
wherever necessary. This work is
estimated to cost at least $4,000 and
