DUST IS A DECIDED NUISANCE
In Many Cases Windows Have to Be
Kept Closed Tight-Use Split.
Log Drag After Rains.

(By w. G. PALMER, Agricultural Editor.
North Dakota Agricultural College)
When dry weather comes the dust
from the road becomes great nui-
sance to the housewife who lives near
the road. In many cases windows
have to be kept closed tight to lessen
the amount Of dust that seeps in. The
most effective way of reducing the
dust nuisance is the use Of q split-log
drag on the road after every rain.
The road dust comes largely from the
grinding up of the turned-up edges Of
ruts made by wheels and horses hoofs.
These cannot form unless water can
stand on the roadbed and water can
not stand on the roadbed If 1t is kept
well crowned and we'll packed as 1t
Will be If the road drag is used regu-
larly. Dragging the roads will mean
good deal to the housewife, as well
as to travellers and those who have to
haul to and from the market.

 During Sunday night the poor fel- low stuffed paper in the drain of the sink in the jail and flooded the place with water. After about two inches of water stood over the floor he tried to get his face deep enough into it to drown himself but was unsuccessful. His hallucination is that he is being chased by grasshoppers.

 Milton H. McFadden of the firm of McFadden and Lane, Chicago brokers, who has been in the district for the past week, left Monday morning. Be fore leaving he stated that he had visited many of. the properties of the district and that in his estimation there are more mines in the making here than any other section of the country. He come here with a view of taking over a property for his firm but would not make public the name of it or its location. However, he stated that his report would be favorable and that he may be in Oatman again with in thirty days. Continuing Mir. Me Fadden said:
 "I consider what is called the main trend of the proven ore bearing sys- tenn a very remarkable one, but there are several other vein systems which can be traced for miles which are just as remarkable, and which I con- slider just as good as the proven zone. In time you will have many proven vein systems which will be no less famous than the United Eastern, Tom Reed and Big Jim. Oatman received a black eye year ago when so many companies were organized without capital. It takes money to explore your district. But now that the 'hot air' boom is over capital will grad ually come to Oatman, and within a few years, in my estimation, you will have one of the largest producing sections of the vest.

J. J. Beeson, geologist for the Emma Consolidated Mines company, which recently absorbed the famous Old Emma mine and Emma Copper company property at Alta, near Salt Lake City, Utah, arrived in Kingman last night, accompanied by his assist ant, D. L. Sawyer.
 Mir. Beeson is also geologist for the Arizona Copperfields, Inc, the hold ings of which are located in the Min eral Park quadrangle, in the Cerbat mountains, about 20 miles north of Kingman. He will be joined in a few days here by C.. S. Herzig, consulting engineer for the companies named above, and with him will work out the geology of the Arizona Copperfields. The results of the examination by Messrs. Herzig and Beeson will be used in determining the campaign of development work at the property. Messrs. Herzig and Beeson will devote at least three weeks to the study of the Arizona Copperfields and outlin- ing the exploratory work.

From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 Every round of shots at the Nellie is proving the recently revealed vein to be of greater width and value, it is claimed. Twenty feet of ore has been penetrated and the drills are still in ore. A sample taken last Sun day across nine feet gave $28 per ton in gold. The sample was taken by Manager Woods.
 One round of shots was set off to start drifts east and west on the vein. It is the intention of the management to drift to the east for a considerable distance before continuing the west drift. At present work is being con- fined to crosscutting the vein. This will be continued day and night until the full width of the vein is deter mined.
 As soon as the compressor, which is now being installed, is ready for operation a large force of men will be put to work, and as soon as pos sible the shaft will be continued to the 500 foot level and a crOsscut run to the vein.

MAKING CONTRACTS
 FOR ORE SUPPLY
(From Chloride Section Daily Miner)

F. B. Steffy, representing a group of Chicago capitalists, reached camp Monday and immediately set to work to secure contracts that will assure his proposed 25O-ton custom mill an ample ore supply.
 Mir. Steffy is emphatic in his state ment that he is here to build the mill and merely requires the moral sup port of the people before proceeding. He has brought his trunk and is here to remain with his associates. He has practically completed all arrange ments for taking over the BlacEfoot group from Postmaster Russel and the Comanche group from c. D. Me Donald.
 On one of these properties there is a 225-foot shaft and on the other a 306-foot shaft. There is good ore showing in both shafts but much work will have to be done to open it up. Until this is done they feel they cannot figure on a tonnage from these properties and will have to rely upon other properties to keep their mill running at capacity.
 Granting an 85 per cent saving by the mill, dump ore worth as low as SIS, or ore in the mine worth S15, per ton will return a nice profit. There are dozens of small properties in this district that can furnish a few tons each day and can be made to more than pay their way while being de- veloped.
 MT. Steffy says he has covered the ground very thoroughly from Alaska to Central America, but at no place has he seen ore as it crops in the Chloride district. "When your mines get down a thousand feet you will have another Butte, in size", said MT. Steffy. "You have more mines here now than Butte has. Butte is a rich mans camp and it takes plenty of money to get down to the ore there, while you have it at the grass-roOts here"

 At the Boundary Cone drifting on the 756 foot level continues. Two shifts are being used in drifting east and west, and the results being ob- tained are pleasing to the manage ment. The vein has been opened up on the new level and it is said to be identical with that on the 800 foot level where, it is said, a width of 20 feet assayed from $2O to $3O in gold.
 On the 750 foot level the vein has been explored for 10 feet in width and the walls are not in sight. Each round of shots proves the orebody of greater width. The values are reported to be about the same on this level as that on the 500. It is reported that the Boundary Cone has enough milling ore in sight to warrant the erection of mill in the near future.

KINGMAN NIMRODS
 BACK FROM HUNT
[FrOm Tuesdays Daily MinerI

M. U. Wagner, Mark Pearson, John Munds and Dad" Parsons returned Sunday afternoon from a successful deer hunting trip in the Juniper mountains, south of Seligman. MT. Wagner succeeded in securing the limit, bagging two bucks, a five pointer and two year old spike.
 The party was absent from town five days and had a good time. Wild turkeys and deer were plentiful but many hunters have been in that sec tion lately and scattered the game somewhat. MT. Wagner drove al Oldsmobile car which carried the hunters and the camp outfit was by a White truck. Both cars made the trip from camp to King man, a distance of over 120 miles, in less than seven hours which is con- sidered good running time for any truck.
