JAS. D. Hill, pioneer railroad build
er and fnancier, died at $3.50 o'clock
Monday morning at his Summit aven-
ue home, st. Paul. According to a
statement given out by Mr.. Hills
physicians, death was caused by an
infection due to bowel trouble. Fol-
lowing an operation performed Satur-
day afternoon, he sank rapidly and
his advanced age, 78 years, initiated
against discovery. The funeral was
held at his home at2 p. m. yesterday.
He was probably worth between
500, 100000 and $250,OO0,000. Mr..
Hill had absolute control of the First
National bank and Northwestern Trust
company, which have a combined
capital and surplus of So, 5000 The
greatest portion of Mr.. Hills wealth,
however, was in the stocks and bonds
of the Great Northern, Northern Paci-
fic and Chicago, Burlington and Quin-
cy railroads. The executors of Mr..
Hills estate will probably be Louis
w. Hill, his son, and the Northwest
ern Trust company.

BEST COMBINATION ON FARM
Poultry, Fruit and Bees Are Directly
Benefited in Various Ways by
Being Kept Together.

OF the many different lines OF agri-
cultural interests, poultry raising, fruit
growing and bee keeping can be COM
bined to the best advantage. Poultry.
fruit and bees are directly benefited
by being kept together. Three essen
tial crops. meat, fruit and honey. can
be grown on the same ground at one
time, each contributing to the success
of the other in various ways.
Fruit trees afford the shade and
protection necessary for fowls ana
bees. They yield food in blossoms,
insects and fallen fruits and in return
are benefited by losing all that is so
eagerly deyoured by the Industrious
beneficiaries OF their beauty. Fowls
not only decrease the insect pests in
the orchard, but they deposit rich
pourishment unsurpassed in quality
for soil The majority of farmhouses
and suburban residences have or
chards or plots of ground that with
very little preparation can be made
into ideal poultry runs. Where begin
ners are planning a plot to set out in
fruit, future growth should be consid-
cred, standard apple trees should be
planted 35 or 40 feet apart each way,
as the trees do not get large enough
to bear under ten years, nor attain full
growth under twenty years. Many de-
sirable crops can be secured in the
meantime by setting out two peach
or plum trees or rows of pear and
cherry trees between the apple trees.
This leaves ample room for bush fruit
or berries to be raised and cultivated.
1t is best to put early baby chicks in
the young fresh-planted trees and
bushes to prevent damage to tender
roots from scratching. Baby chicks
thrive best among bushes and vines.

RATION FOR DAIRY COWS
High Protein Concentrates Other Than
Corn Must Supplement Rough
sge-Oats Are Favored.

With fodder alone as roughage cows
must have some high protein concen-
trates and they must be other than
corn products. II the oats are worth
less than middlings, It will be well
to make them a part of the ration.
Rye is as harmless as any other grain
to a pregnant animal when not affect
ed with ergot. II It is worth no more
per pound than corn II may well be
used in part. Cottonseed meal at the
present time is a much cheaper source
OF protein than linseed meal, and with
oats and rye or a wheat product in the
ration also it may be used to supply
the deficit Of protein. However, IL any
cows appear to need q more laxative
fation, better substitute linseed, at
least in part, for the cottonseed meal.
1t matters little to the COW whether
the corn is shelled before being
ground, or even whether It is ground,
so long as the cobs are soft enough
to enable her to eat them readily.
But to compound ration from the
list submitted: Using the corn In the
form Of meal and grinding both oats
and rye, use one part by weight of
each of these and two OF cottonseed
meal

VALLEY SCOTTY"
SEEN AT BONNIE CLARE

The eccentric "Scotty,' the
riddle from out of Death Valley,
was recently seen by two prospect
ors who passed through Goldfeld
today from the south. They re-
ported the mysterious n to have
passed through Bonnie Clare with
two companions in an auto, bound
for Scotty's alleged source of great
wealth in the mysterious valley
where the sands of the desert never
grow cold. While it is commonly
supposed that Scotty received more
money for doing a publicity turn for
a railroad company some years
ago than he ever took out of Death
Valley, it may be that he is now
on fis way to the valley with a
duplicate of the wonderful lamp OF
Alladin in his possession and that
he will rub it somewhere in the
gloomy, desolate slopes of the Fun
era, range and disclose to the
startled gaze of his companions
wealth greater than that of the
lncas-and then, he may not.

PLACER FIELDS
YIELD TUNGSTEN
DRY WASHING MAY PROVE EF-
FECTIVE IN RECOVERING
PRECIOUS MINERAL

From present indications the
placer mining of h%ubernite and
scheelite ores along the Snake
range of mountains will soon de-
velop into tremendous proportions.
The work of sluicing has already
commenced, but this will be limited
to sections where water can be Sc
cured. 1t is probable that placer
fields exist wherever the metal is
found, as has been the case at Alto
liza and in Colorado, which is caus-
ed by the eroding Of vein matter
for many centuries. In Burma n
other sections, the principal supply
is secured by placer mining. For
~tunately in this section the leads
are easily discovered, and there
fore quartz mining now has the
call, but undoubtedly the larger
product will soon come from
placers. In this connection 1t
might be well for prospectors and
others who are interested to care
fully investigate dry washing ma
chimes, which have long been OPP
Grated successfully along the Colo
RADIO river in recovering gold values
where water could not be secured.
For the past 40 or so years a large
number of old desert rats have
always made a living by this pro-
cess, and the impression prevails
in that section that the dry wash
err can be as successfully operated
as any other method Of separating
values from alluvial soil. AS the
specific gravity of all kinds of
tungsten metals is far greater than
that of quartz or country rock,
there can be no reasonable doubt
that it can be saved by the dry
washer as readily as by the wet
process. Anyhow, the matter is
certainly worth a fair trial, and If
found successful it would open a
wide field for dry placer work all
along the Snake range.-Ely Rec
ord.

Superintendent Charles Stevenson
CT the power company near Elko,

rightful owner, discoverer and Co
lumbus of the great silver strike
ear that city. according to advices
received in Reno recently, says the
State Journal. AS the result of the
discovery of high grade ore in post
holes being dug for power line
poles, the community went wild.
Every person who could. staked
out claims and for a time it appear
Ell that the days of Tonopah were
about to return to that section of
Nevada. And now comes the an
nouncement by Stevenson that he
sailed the ore as a joke on his men.

HAMILTON Is
MAKING GOOD

Carl Muir, merchant and miner
of Hamilton who has spent many
years in the old time district which
was orce famous throughout the
world for it's silver production, ar
rived in Ely Wednesday on a
business trip. He reports the road
across Jake valley as still in very
bad condition, but with a few weeks
Of good weather it will be passable
for heavy teaming.
Mr.. Muir is quite enthusiastic
over the prospects of Hamilton for
the present season. The price OF
lead is nearly double what it was a
year ago while silver is higher than
it has been in many years, and still
on the upward trend. There mas
been a considerable amount Of de-
velopment going on at Hamilton
during the past two years, ana
there are also a number of old time
properties with large tonnage in
sight, which can ship at a hand
some profit at the present price OF
metal.
For some years past Hamilton has
been greatly handicapped by lack
of good wagon roads to Ely, but
the county commissioners have now
arranged for the building of a new
road across Jake valley, which will
be commenced as Don as 1t can be
done advantageously. With this
road finished all of the business
of the Hamilton district will be
brought to Ely, which will be OF
great advantage to the miners
of that section, who have hereto
fore been compelled to haul their
ore to Eureka and ship out on a
narrow gauge road to Palisade,
where it was necessary to transfer
the ore into standard gauge cars At
an additional expense and also a
heavy loss in fine ore.
Hamilton is one of the few old
time camps that never failed to pro-
drce no matter how low the price
Of metal dropped, and now, with
present prices, an era of great
prosperity is surely in store for the
entire district.-Ely Record.

carry such high values was totally
unexpected. The mill is now treat

Former owners sank a vertical
shaft on the property to a depth of

ed that the dump on the property
contains 1900 tons Of ore that will
return an excellent profit. 1t is
