PATAGONIA.
Interesting News Items Clipped Frcm
 the Patagonian.


 Ernest Harmon, employed at the DuqueSne, was in town yes terday. He reports work of en- largiug the oil fiots tion mill at the Duquesne Mining and Re duction company in progress. The capacity of the plant will be increased from 100 to 200 tons day.
 Paul O'Neill, representing Kempton & O'Neill, NogaleS ore buyers, is in the field this week, buying ore from Patagonia min CTS. Those who have no con- tract with a shelter can dispose of their ores with this firm on a satisfactory cash settlement Any amount of any kind of ore is wanted.
 Machine drills have been start ed at the Red Mountain this week, on the Andes property of c. c. Sanders. While formerly, when working by hand, depth was made at the rate of only a few inches day, now several feet will be made in the same time. The Andes is one of the best prospects in the Patagonia country, and it's development is watched with keen interest by mining. men familiar with this district. A few carloads of chal- cOcite were shipped from this property recently while doing development.
 The Three R. mine is shipping 35 tons of high grade copper ore a day at the present time. Plans for erecting the oil Notation plant are progressing, and work of construction will be started within a few days. In the big crew employed at the mine, the unSkilled labor of which is done by MeXicans, are about 20 skilled American mechanics, many of them being Patagonia boys. Pay checks from the Three R are contributing regularly to the prosperity of Patagonia, and when the new mill is completed the payroll will be greatly in creased.
 Charley Chapman of Alto was in town last Sunday, showing his friends specimens of ore from the Devils Bank mine that were certainly good for sore eyes. MT. Chapman informs the reporter that the shaft being sunk has en- tered a cave and that it's extent and character has not yet. been determined. This shaft, which is being sunk on the lime contact, is about 80 feet deep. From the beginning the ore was first car bonates then oxides, and when it broke into the cave it was either a heavy silver or copper sulphide. It is claimed that rocks rolled into the cavern give no indication of bottom.
 The Blue Eagle in Alum Gulch, which has been worked by Har- ry Stevens and Marshall Nc Donnell, is now under option to a mining engineer of consider. able repute and frst-class con nections. Lou Stevens and a young prospector named Kane are also interested in this group. The principal work has been done on the "Leppy" claim, owned by Harry Stevens. It is from this claim that the pretty peacock copper" has been ship, ped. Recent work has been of a most encouraging nature, and further negotiations on tEis deal may prove of considerable inn portance to this district.

AUTO EARNS ITS WAY.

Many useful things can be done with
an automobile. especially during the
harvest season when men and teams
are scarce.
During the heying season when We
use the stacker. we run out our car
and attach ropes TO the rear ankle Of
the car and proceed to life up the
loads OF hay upon the stack. using the
low gear for forward and the reverse
for backing up. This method gives
much more even pull than when
horses are used. and we don't have TO
bother with the worry OF backing M
the team OF horses. which now. by the
use Of the car, can be at use In soma
other part Of the field or ut the swecn
rakes. The car works equally we'll for
pulling up the hay fork when We are
unloading In the barn.
We. like others. have found the car
TO be very profitable In marketing. In
seven passenger car one may carry
six coops Of chickens at time-two
In the rear seat. two on board frame
extending out backward from over tho
rear ankle. and one on each fender
and be at market. II miles away. In
about 30 minutes.
We use our car for hauling Ice for
household use, for delivering cream
butter. fruit and vegetables.
Also. during the melon season VIC
can make a run OF about 20 miles TO
the bottoms where they are grown
for market use. and return with fair
load Of about 10 melons the same day.
Those named are only few Of the
many odd yet really important uses
car can be put 10. and at n less cx.
pcnso than by n man and team. More.
over. such uses need not injurc the
appearance Of the car by bad scars
and scratches, We always remove the
rear cushion and spread tarpaulin
over the inside Of the back part, plac.
Ing II so as TO act rs n lining. This
prevents dIr,ying up the inside Of the
car or scratching the paint or up'
