CLUB ENROLMENT
 PASSES THOUSAND

Eleven hundred and twenty-one of Arizona's boys and girls have enroll ed in the club work conducted by the agricultural extension service of the University of Arizona, operating with the U. S. D. A. Some of these young folks are raising pigs, others are raising cotton, corn or grain sorghum, while still others are trying to help mother to fill the cellar shelves with good "canned eats" for next winter. But regardless of the kind of work selected, each member is required to keep a careful record of the work done SO that the exact net profit can be figured out at the end of the contest. The greatest stumbling block for the young folks in the work is e keep ing of the records, not 1hIt the -ecord keeping is hard, but berause consider able attention must be given to snail detail matters, such as keeping or the Iabor expense each day the nleasur- ing and weighing of feeds or ma terials used, the amount of work done, etc. These matters are "sure stick ers". easy enough to be sure-but the little expression-"put off" and the other one-"Oh, what's the use!" seem to come in for their part. A farmer with, say, an investment of S1O,OOO in his farm and equipment ought cer- tainly to look after the farm by tend ing to details, peeking records, etc., just as thoroughly as the merchant in the city, who likewise has his thou sand invested. Generally speaking, does he do it. The old saying, '1t's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, '" . is a statement pretty well accepted. Hence has the teaching of these things to the young any real significance? ?- L. S. Parke, State Club Leader.

MEASURING FLOW
 OF MISSISSIPPI

One of the basic lines of activity ot the United States Geological Survey is the measurement of the flow of the rivers of the United States. This work was begun by the survey in 1888 ir connection with special studies of water for irrigation, and since 1895 the bills passed by congress appro- priating money for the work of the survey have carried an item "for gazing streams" Measurements of flow have been made at about 3,400 points in the United States and at many points in small areas in Seward peninsula and the Yukon-Tanana re- zion, Alaska, and in the Hawaiian islands. Numerous private and state organizations have co-operated in the work either by furnishing data or by providing financial assistance in col lecting the data. In July, 1914, about 1,4S0 gazing stations were being maintained by the survey and the CO., operating organizations, and many measurements of discharge were made at other points.
 A report just issued on the lower Mississippi river basin (Water Supply Paper 387), which forms Part VII of the annual series entitled Surface water supply of the United States" !" gives the results of cooperative work between the Federal Survey and the states of Colorado and New Mexico. The records presented include descrip- tions of stations on Arkansas and Red rivers and their tributaries in the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma, at which measurements were made, and tables of daily gage heights and daily and monthly dis charge. An appendix to the report gives list of the gazing stations that have been maintained by the survey, from 1885 to 1914, on streams dis charging into the Mississippi below the mouth of, the Ohio, and list of the survey publications relating to water resources in the area.
 Owing to it's technical character the report lacks interest for the general reader, but it will be useful to engi- neers and others concerned in the of the streams. Copies may be obtained without charge by apply ing to the director, United States Geo. logical Survey, Washington, D. c.

MINING DEPOSITS OF LEAD AND ZINC UNDER
 ILLINOIS GORNFIELDS

In the popular mind most metal mining is associated with mountainous regions. We know that coal is mined near cornfields, but how many, off hand, would locate lead and zinc de- posits in grain fields? A recent pub lication by the United States Geologi- cal Survey describes a thickly settled agricultural district in northwestern Illinois where corn, oats, and hay are raised on the surface and lead and zinc are extracted from the rocks be- meath the fields.
 The publication referred to is one of the units of the great geologic atlas of the United States and describes the Galena and Elizabeth quadrangles, in Illinois. The field surveys for this report were made under cooperative agreement between the United States Geological Survey and tn state of H. linoig. Eugene Wesley Shaw and Ar thur c. Trowbridge are the authors. The area described lies in the extreme northwest corner of the state and IS in the "driftless area" which was not covered by the continental glacier and therefore contains no glacial drlft. The exposed rocks are wholly of sedl- rentary origin and consist of hard rock of Ordovician and Silurian age and unconsolidated surficial deposits. The report describes these rocks, shows the geologic structure or lay ot the rocks, and gives the sequence ot events in the geologic history ot the area and an account of the mineral resources.
 Although agriculture is the prlncl- nal industry. several hundred men are engaged in zinc and lead mining. The most productive mines are grouped in certain rather small districts known as the Galena, the Sand Prairie, and tbe Elizabeth districts. The produc- tive ore bodies are confined to the Galena dolomite and the Decorah sbaIe. Most of the mines are lOO to 200 feet de\2. The production Of lead concentrates in 1914 was valued at s28. .78S. and that of zinc concentrates at S32O,O12. The lead sold from thls region since mining began has brought about S5O.OO0.O00, and the zinc pro duced since about 1860 has been sold for about s1O,OOO,OOO. Prospecting for new deposits still continues.
 The folio contains geologic and topographic maps and map showing geologic structure, besides IA large pages of text.
 The Galena and Elizabeth folio (No. 2OO) is sold by the United States Geo logical Survey, Washington, D. C., at 2 5cents a copy.

SHELTER RATES

There is a growing sentiment among the base metal operators o1 the mining states of the union, par. ticularIy Arizona and New Mexico that congress should be asked to pro- vide them relief from the extortion practiced by smelter concerns. The Mohave Daily Miner is sincere in the belief that the sentiment referred to is well founded and that something should be done to afford the relief de- sired. This relief cannot be secured by any agitation in which chambers of commerce, boards of trade, banks or large mercantile establishments have any voice, as the influence of the smelting concerns, their subsidiaries and kindred companies are such that they permeate all of these arteries. Neither is there any help to be ex- pected from ore sampling works, as there are no longer any independent ore sampling firms or companies, and all, without exception, are either crea- lures of or tributaries of the smell tersl Furthermore, there is a ques- tion whether many newspapers or magazines in the entire United States are prepared to take stand in this matter and show up the robbery to which the shippers are subjected.
 Independent" in reference to ore sampling works, is used advisedly for the reason that with very, very few exceptions all the large base metal mines are either owned, controlled or interwoven with the smelting inter ests, and, therefore, it is the inde- pendent and usually small shipper that will have to find some medium through which to secure relief, which will probably come through federal and state legislation. It will probably re- quire both to bring about the desired relief-namely, simple justice and fair treatment.
 Take, for instance, 10 per cent cop per ore. What does the miner or shipper get for it under the new schedule of treatment prices and pen alties given out by the Arizona smell ters? It is worth to a smelter 26 cents per pound $52 per ton. The shipper gets $17.4O, out of which he has to pay for mining, hauling, rail road freight and moisture.
 Take 40 per cent zinc ore, with spelter at 10 cents per pound. The smelters get $50 for the spelter con- tained in a ton of this ore. They pay the producer $50 to $35 per ton for the ore, depending on a number of conditions. The shipper pays out of his returns mining costs, hauling, railroad freight and moisture.
 Take 50 per cent lead ore, worth to the smelters S65 to S7O per ton. The miner gets S35 to $40 per ton, less the cost named.

NEW PUBLICATION

The initial number of the Arizona Mining Review is on the desk of the Herald. Geographically it is neat and the field it covers is general min ing in the county. s. F. Heydenfeldt is an old timer in mining camps though his youth would belle this statement. He is well known in min ing circles, where he has many friends. There is no doubt of Heydies success and the Herald wishes him lots of it.

ARMY MEN GRATEFUL
TO THE COTTON BELT
OFFICERS Of National Guard Organi.
cations Express Appreciation
of COurteSies Extended.

The Cotton Belt seems to be living
up to its slogan of "The Railroad Of
Courtesy" due, in large measure to
the kind-heartedness and gentility of
the men who man the trains, many Of
whom are residents of Pine Bluff.
The railroad has handled a nunl-
Der of troop trains recently, and it's
manner of looking after the welfare
of its patrons has brought the rail
road expressions of appreciation from
a number of officers of the national
guard organizations travelling over
the Cotton Belt.
One such officer says:
81 wish to thank YOU for the cour-
tesy and kindness which you have ex-
tended us; nowhere on our route have
we been as thoroughly and efficiently
looked after"
Another says:
81 wish to thank you for the atten-
ton given us by your representatives,
who were always solicitous of our
welfare and could not have done more
to make us comfortable; we could not
have been treated better, and we want
you to know that we appreciate it"
Still another says:
Woulu oe unSfdCeIul III 1alled TO
give expression to my appreciation of
the service renderd by your company
in transporting my regiment.
''ln addition to the ordinary, though
not common courtesies, peaches and
tomatoes were loaded on the three
trains carrying my regiment at sew
eral stations enroute, liberal supply
of current magazines and stamped
post cards were distributed, suitable
stops for bathing we're arranged for
my men, and numerous other courte-
sis, SO unusual in American railway
travel, that l fell it my duty and it
is my pleasure to acknowledge them
in this manner.
"Not only the special representa-
tives, but all train men were most
courteous and the service rendered
and special courtesis extended by all
Of your employees were a surprise
and a real pleasure"

New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 1O.-With Liver
pool easy there was a renewal OF
scattering liquidation and local selling
in the cotton market early today.
After opening at decline of 8@12
points, the market sold about 15@19
points net lower. The favorable
eastern belt forecast and the rather
more favorable average Of some of the
crop advices received during the past
two or three days seemed to encour-
age reactionary sentiment and selling
was Of mucn the same character as
that attracted by the charp bulge of
yesterday afternoon. December con-
tracts eased off to 14.42c and January
to 14.5Oc shortly after the call, or
about 2S@30 points under yesterdays
high level. Western houses were
buyers again, however, while pri-
vate cable said Liverpool seemed to
have been pretty we'll sold out and
prices here steadicd toward the end
of the first hour.
New Orleans also steadied up to-
ward the middle of the morning, while
renewal of bull support was encour-
aged by reports of continued dry, hot
weather in Oklahoma and prices
worked back to within 5 or points
of last nights closing figures, with
December at 14.43c and January
1860; Demand then tapered off again
and there were reactions of 8 or,
points later, with the market quiet but
rather nervous and unsettled around
midday.
Trading was more active during the
early afternoon with the tone nervous
and unsettled. After working up to
14.5Sc for December and 1859 for

FATE SENT KERWIN
AID IN PREDICAMENT

Judge d. J. Kerwin, who has been
quite ill with severe attack of mala-
rial fever, is showing steady improve
ment, and is expected to be able to
leave the house again within a few
days.
Judge Kerwin has been keeping
Kerwin and the children having gone
Saturday evening Judge Kerwin was
taken i'll, and Sunday he grew worse.
He had ordered his telephone discor-
nected during the absence of mis- fami-
ly, and did not let any of his neigh
bors or other friends know of his i'll
ness, believing he would be better
Monday. Monday, however, he was
worse, and too weak and i'll to leave
his bed, even to call assistance.
Fortunately, however, some children
Of the neighborhood had a game of
ball Monday evening, and the ball
was knocked into the Kerwin yard.
One little fellow went into the yard
after the ball, and Judge Kerwin was
able, after some little difficulty, to
have the youngster let one of the
neighbors know of his plight.
The neighbor answered the call, and
summoned physician. Mr.. Kerwin's
condition was regarded as serious, and
early Tuesday telegram was sent to
Mrs. Kerwin, summoning her to his
bedside. Wednesday, when she arrived,
Mr.. Kerwin had shown the benefit of
the care he had received, and his i'm
provement is now continuing, all
danger having passed, according to
the attending physician.

Chicago, Aug. MISUNDERSTANDING
that the wheat market Overtopped at
times today the highest prices OF the
previous session, trading was relative
" contracted in volume and the fluc-
tuations as rule did not exceed the
usual limits. What fresh strength
developed was largely due to reports
of unreasonably early frost in Can
ada and to reports of eager European
demand. On the other hand many
holders, judging that perhaps crop
damage had been discounted evlnced
disposition to realize profits. Open
ing prices, which ranged from 1c de-
cline to &c advance, with September
at $1.43@1.44, and December at $1.4S
@1.4S 1-2, were followed by a ma

Word of scattered showers had a
bearish effect on corn. Buyers, were
scarce. After opening 1-2@1c lower,
the market underwent. a further sag

Heavy selling weakened oats.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted

Subsequently wheat weakness acted
as more than an offset for increasing
