VOLCANOES IN ARIZONA.

An interesting report on the San Franciscan volcanic field Arizona, an area of about 5000 square miles south of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, is avail able for free distri tion by the United States Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior. This report Professional Paper 76-contains a brief description of the geography of the field and gives detailed descriptions of the volcanoes and lava fields. It re lates the volcanic history of the region and correlates the periods of eruption with the general his tory of the surrounding country. There have been three general periods of volcanic activity in the San Franciscan volcanic field, each followed by an inter- val of uplift and erosion. The latest outbreak doubtless re- presents the final feeble erup- tions in a long cycle of volcanism.
 The paper is illustrated by ex- cellent halftone views of some of the striking geologic features of the area and by geologic maps and diagrams, which help to give a clear understanding of the region.
 Professional Paper 76 will be sent free on application to the Director, U. S. Geological Sur vey, Washington, D. c.

FINAL COUNTY INSTITUTE.

County Superin tendent of Schools Miss Lola LeBaron re- ports that arrangements for three days session of the county teachers institute are practically completed. The institute will be held on January second, third and fourth.
 This will be the first teachers institute ever held in the county. Heretofore this county has held institutes jointly with Maricopa and other counties, but Miss LeBaron believes that if Pinal county is to receive any real benefit from these institutes she must have an institute of her own.
 Before the close of school last year meeting of teachers of the Florence schools and the boards of trustees was held and the matter of county institutes was a subject that came in for considerab able discussion and it was the concensuS of opinion that this year Pinal should hold an institute and not join with other counties, accordingly Miss LeBaron has been planning with the result that a splendid pro- gram is being prepared for the occasion.
 Among the lecturers secured for institute week are: Dr. Frank H. H. Roberts, president of the Normal University at Los Vegas, New Mexico; James B. D. Sherer, president of Throps College of Technology, at Pasa- dena, California, and Dr. H. H. Foster, professor of Education of the University of Arizona. These gentlemen are all educators of note and their lectures will un- dou ubtedly be of great benefit to the teachers in their work.
 In addition to the lecturers named above Dr. Mathews, pre- sident of the Tempe Normal will speak at several sessions of the institute, and State Superinten- dent of Public Instruction, c. O. Case will be present.
 There are eighty teachers in Pinal county who will he here to attend the institute. Blade Tribune.

CURES PRAIRIE DOGS.

The Agricultural Extension Service of the University of Arizona recommends the follow ing prescription:
 Dissolve one ounce of strych- nine sulphate in half pint of boil ding water; add one heaping tablespoonful of gloss starch, previously mixed with a little cold water, and boil until clear paste is formed. Add one ounce of baking soda and stir to a creamy mass. Add half an ounce of syrup and stir thoroughly. Pour over thirteen quarts of rolled barley and mix well until grain is evenly coated. Allow to dry before using. Northern better results than the barley, but local oats cannot be depended upon for good results. If the following method is followed the poison will be found to be the most successful.
 Place clean rolled barley at the rate of 60 holes to the quart at each burrow one day. The following day place the poisoned bait at the rate of 40 holes to the quart The grain should be placed on clean, hard places near the holes, and great care should be taken so that it does not go down the holes. Large areas may be successfully treated by using saddle horses. Stock will not be endangered on the open range with the above methods.
 If powdered alkaloid strych- nine is used, simply prepare the hot starch paste first and add the strychnine and soda mixed together. In bushel quantities use as above directed in the following amounts: Two and a half ounces strychnine, one fifth ounce saccharine, two and a half ounce soda, one and a quarter ounces starch, one and a half quarts boiling water and five eighths pint of syrup.

ARCTIC GOLD.

A Swedish explorer named Christian Leden has returned from the Arctic with a wonderful story of mineral riches, says the Wallace, Idaho, Press Times. He tells of region he has visited, presumably northwest of Hudson bay, where there was so much petroleum that the whole land smelled of it. Still more in- terestirg is his account of mysterious mountain of gold where strata of reddish yellow rock lie exposed to view, with the gold so thick and pure that it hardly needs refining. In proof of his story, he brought back a harpoon head of ham, mered gold and several speci- mems of rich goldbearing quartz. Also the assurance of on old Eskimo, that his grandfather, who had an d-fashioned, large bore gun, used to shoot yellow the rock.
 It seems probable that there are deposits richer than those of Alaska, far up under the north ern lights. There isn't much likelihood, however, of an inn mediate rush to the new gold fields. They are so inaccessible that Leden himself failed to reach them, and a party of Es- kimos that he sent there under went terrible hardships and lost nearly all their specimens on the way back. But sometime, with the progress of transportation, the race may find and utilize vast stores of wealth hidden now behind the eternal ice aud hardly dreamed of by white adventures.

Don't Purchase Soldier Uniforms.

Warning has again been issued by the military and other author ities of the United States govern ment against the purchase by civilians or the trafficking in, of government property. The word is sent broad cast with the idea of giving the people along the border final opportunity to dispose of that property which they may have and to forbear from securing any more of it.
 Provost marshals in the vari- ous towns and cities along the Mexican border are very active in their campaign to arrest civi Hans who are in possession of goods belonging to the govern ment. They have made many arrests, though in the majority of cases, have merely confiScated the goods and allowed the people caught with them to go unmo- tested.
 According to the new laws it is a penal offense to be caught wearing any part of the uniform, unless the person is a soldier or can prove that he has the proper right to do so.
 Thousands of dollars worth of government property, soldiers hats, guns, shoes, shirts and everything else that might be sold, have come into the hands of civilians. They are liable to prosecution for having them in their possession.
 Commanding officers of the military are not anxious to prosecute but are determined to break up the practice. It has cost the government enormous sums of money, besides the fact that it depletes the accoutrement of the soldiers and of the regi- ment.

ITS HOLLERIN' COUNTS.

With practically every south ern county of Arizona actively competing, Yavapai county won the new silver trophy at the State Fair in November for the
 Best, Largest and Most Con- prehensive Exhibit" in the agricultural and horticultural department. In 1915, Yavapai became the permanent poSSeSSOr of the big silver cup that had been the trophy for four years.

 Finding that two given samples of milk, taken from the delivery machine of the Medigovich Dairy, were not up to the stand ard and contained water, the county board of bealth Saturday afternoon ordered the entire autoload of milk, consisting of nearly one hundred gallons of the fluid, emptied into the SC wer. Aided by the city and county officers. Dr. Cleveland H. Hunt, county health officer, and Dr. Ralph H. Heredeen, city physi- elan, emptied bottles and cans into the subway the plaudits of a crowd which was on hand to cheer for Pure Milk. ."-Bisbee Review.
 Hay is now worth $2O a ton in Phoenix and scarce at that price. On Tuesday the government purchased sixty tons of baled alfalfa to be delivered. This was bought on special contract as no farmer at the present time takes a chance on the usual conditional but unfair contract demanded by the government. Most contracts carry options to increase the order by 100 per cent which gives the buyer the benefit of rises in price but allows also the privilege of not taking more, should prices fall. With hay scarce and going up rapidly the government failed to get bid ders under the regular system Phoenix Messenger.

Citizens of Phoenix are to be congratulated upon being able to procure their milk supply under conditions which furnish a guar antee of it's being as nearly pure and free from disease producing germs as it is possible to have it. This is not only made pos sible, but is made an absolute condition of the sale of milk, through an ordinance passed by the city commission, some time since. It is a well known fact that milk is more easily infected than almost any other article of food, hence too great care cannot be taken to prevent this by insisng on sanitary regulations, which has been done in this re- spect through the city ordinance.
