During the first half of August the
Mogollon Mines Co. treated 2,O13 tons
of ore, producing 1000 pounds of gold
and silver bullion and several IONS
of concentrates.
The Abo Canon Copper Mining
Company, operating in the Manzano

Preparations are being made by
Manager Sully, Of the Chino Copper
Company at Silver City, for the recep-
ton of the American Institute Of Min
ing Engineers, who will hold their an
nual meeting this year in visiting the
big copper camps of New Mexico and
Arizona.
An important copper strike has
been made by f. G. Smith of Ell Paso
In the Burro mountain copper mines,
fourteen miles west of Cutter. He
has now a face of ore eight feet wide
in the stope, about 300 feet in from
the portal of the tunnel, which aver.
ages 10 per cent copper. The ore is
both oxide and sulphide.

NEW FOOTWEAR FOR ARMY
improved Shoe Model Will Be Hob.
nailed for Service in
Mexico.

The war department appointed Il
shoe commission in 1912 to design Il
model embodying the best points OF
all the army shoes, surprising them,
If possible. The shoe which was
adopted was of good materials, well
made ON a rational last designed by
the department. The interior is per-
fectly smooth, with heel broad and low
and sole moderately thick, The arch
is flexible and without metal shank or
other stiffening. Eyelets are used
rather than hooks. The shoe reaches
but little above the ankle; 1t Is wide
across the ball of the foot and has IL
high toe cap. 1t is comfortable, neut
looking, light in weight and easily re-
moved or put on.
AS soon as the soldiers wear out the
shoes Of the type which they are 10Y
using on the border they viii be reft-
ted with the new type which the gov
eminent has ordered, says n writer in
the Outlook. The newest shoe is hob
nailed and weighs three pounds seven
ounces. 1t has been adopted for MeXi-
can service because the present type
has not worn Won in mountain climb
ing and has been readily cut up by the
malpais rock in Mexico. The shoe is
similar to that in use In the Italian
army.
Whether this model will be permu-
nently adopted is open to considerable
doubt. The weight Of the shoes and
the stiffness of the leather used de-
tract from the comfort of It. 1t has
some disadvantages, therefore, but tho
severe usage in Mexico made 1t deslr-
able to give this type a thorough try
out in regular service.

the alfalfa has been eaten down close
to the ground. The number and size
OF the lots should be proportiOned to
the producing power Of the field and
the number of animals to be pastured,
so that each lot may be grazed about
once In two weeks. Pasturing should
be continued until most Of the weevll
eggs have BEEN laid, which, in prac-
tice, a little later than the usual
cutting time of the first crop. This
method has the additional advantage
Of providing an economical method Of
fnttenlng live stock. Combined with
the proper feed Of grain, alfalfa pas
ture Is excellent for putting on weight
and 1t Is said that many farms would
probably be more profitable II their
management conferred about the pas
turing Of stock on alfalfa with the
growing Of enough other crops to pro-
vide grain and forage throughout the
year.
II the weevils are not killed early In
the year they may be destroyed after
the first crop has been removed by get
ting rid Of all the vegetation In the
field, crushing the clods, and filling the
cracks so as to expose the entire sur
face to the sun. This is best done by
covering the field with a dust mulch,
the dust being an additional Of
killing weevils. Success obviously de.
ponds upon doing the work when the
ground is dry and the weather warm
and bright.
The second crop may also be protect.
ed by spraying the stubble. Spraying
may also be resorted to in the spring.
From 90 to 100 gallons per acre Of a
mixture of arsenite of zinc and water
in the proportion Of 4 ounces OF pow
der to 100 gallons are used for this
purpose. The apparatus best suited
for alfalfa spraying Is described In
detail In the bulletin already men
| toned. Still another recommendation
made In this bulletin is the stimula'
ton Of the growth OF the alfalfa By
c%ultivatIng the field In the spring.
This does not destroy the weevils but
It serves to produce a larger and a r
ller yield when their attacks make
early cutting necessary.
Up to the present, however, more
farmers are concerned with prevent
Ing the alfalfa weevll reaching their
fields than they are with controlling 1t
in them. No one knows exactly how
the weevlls spread, but certain facts
In regard to this matter have been
a~scertained. 1t Is known, for exam
pie, that the insects are often found
in green alfalfa fresh from the field
and In second-crOp hay and among pO-
tatoes which have been In contact
with 1t. They are found also in cured
alfalfa hay, especially that of the sec
ond cutting. Potatoes often are hauled
in cars upon a bedding of green al
falfa hay and there Is danger that
the weevll may be transported In this
way. On the other hand, however,
there Is no evidence to show that the
weevil spreads more rapidly along rail-
roads than elsewhere.

Prepared by the United States Depart

The alfalfa weevil, which, since its
accidental introduction into the United
States in 1904, has been confined to
alfalfa fields In the great basin Of the
West, has now spread beyond the
limits of this natural division and is
advancing 81 steadily, In spite Of eff
forts made to combat its movement,
that entomOlOgists of the United States
department Of agriculture fear that
sooner or later every section Of the
country will DO invaded by the pest.
The spread of the weevll outside the
great basin has been north into pOr-
tons Of Idaho lying In the Snake river
drainage system and south Into por-
tiOns Of Utah lying southwest OF the
continental divide. Though entomolo-
glstB OF the department look on the
spread Of the weevil across the CONT
mental divide as d%enoting the passing
of q landmark rather than as the sur
mounting Of a barrier, they point out
that the pest Is, nevertheless, many
miles nearer to important alfalfa-grow-
Ing districts which have hitherto felt
safe from attacks by the insect.

London, Sept. 19.-Gen. Haig. com.
mander OF the British forces on the
Somme front, reports the capture of
additional German prisoners to the
number of LOO, making the total cap
tured for two days more than 1000.
Continuation Of the battle is report
ed in the British official statement
south of the Ancre river. The British
proceeded methodically with their at
tack begun Friday, and Germans re-
sponded with heavy counter attacks
both against British and French. Com
parative quiet, however, reigned along
the French section of the Somme front
although the French report some prog
ress north of Bouchavesnes and the
capture of a trench northeast of Berry.
The advance of the British in France
apparently has halted ~momentarily,
while Gen. Haig's men consolidate
the ground gained and withstand
German counter attacks. Grown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria launched
futile attacks against the new posi-
tions. Berlin admits the loss of Cour-
c%elette, Martinpuich and Flers, but
declares that strong British attacks
against Combles were ineffective.
1t is estimated by the Germans that
twenty divisions, or about 100000
men, took part in the AngloFrench
drive Friday. Berlin says the British
made progress, and that the French
assaults south of the Somme were re-
pulsed.
German positions exceeding four
miles in length were captured Satur-
day night and Sunday by the British
and French armies in the Somme re-
gion. War material and many prison
ers were captured. German counter
attacks were repulsed with large
losses to the Germans, according to
London.
Bulgarian troops assisted by Ger
mans and Turks have r%egained virtu-
ally all that part of Dobrudja taken
by Rumania during the second Balkan
war. Forces of the central powers
have driven Russians and Rumanians
back to the line running north of Sill
istria on the Danube to Mangalia on
the Black Sea coast.
The Rumanian advance in Transyl-
vania is meeting with stiff resistance
from the AustrO-G German forces. At
tempts of the Rumanians to cross the
Alt river were checked. At Hatzeg,
Rumanian positions were taken.
Italian troops are succeeding in
their new offensive toward Trieste,
Rome says. Several important posi-
tions on the line Of the Vallone were
taken from the Austrians, and the
Italians also captured more than 1000
prisoners.
According to the entente capitals.
the advance of the French, British
and Serbians in Macedonia against
the German and Bulgarian forces con
tinues successfully.
The most violent fighting is taking
place west of Lake Ostrovo, where the
Serbians are said to have routed the
troops of the central powers. The Ser
bians have advanced northeast of Flo
rina and have captured t~hirty-two
cannon.
