STRIKE OCCURS
 IN HEART OF WALKER
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Reviving the old Cottonwood mine short time ago and operating under lease, Archie and William Henderson have made a discovery i1 sinking the main shaft that is considered as the most important in the history of the property, or for that field. an lS-inch vcing of gold ore that sampled S74 to the ton having been developed.
 The fact of this claim running through the heart of the mining town of Walker. makes this discovery all the more interesting. According to arrivals from that point yesterday the strike is occasioning some excitement and the possibilities of other mines on that Assure arc enhanced cores pondingly. A mining man of that section said yesterday: "The leaser is the backbone of Walker district, and this Henderson movement is but repetition of what other operators by that method have accomplished in recent years in bringing out the min cral sincws of the country. The Eu' reka under the Stukeys never assum- cd any deserved rating until it was handled on lease, and the Cotton wood is to be likewise considered"
 The Hendersons also have taken oyer the old Accidental on a lease, and William Henderson, who was i'll the city yesterday, reported streak cf wire silver as coming in at the greatest depth. The Cottonwood originally was located in the eos and only prospecting was given, the ores showing a complex makeup and not subject to treatment by standard methods Of that primitive day of mill ing.

INSPECTORS FIND
MILK CONDITIONS
NOT OF THE BEST

A field party of milk inspectors
under the direction of the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture, which has been oper-
ating from st. Johnsbury over a ter
rotory within a radius of 40 miles,
left town Monday morning, after a
three weeks stay.
In enforcing the federal food and
drug act, relative to the interstate
shipment of milk, samples of milk
and cream from quantities destined
for use in other states, have been
taken and examined chemically and
bacteriologically in the local head
quarters. A move to other fields was
expected much sooner, but according
to some of the party the conditions
found at the shipping stations COM
ing under this jurisdiction were more
serious than was expected, so that
the stay was extended until the work
could be carried to a completion.
The party was in charge of c. w
Burnett of the federal service and
composed of u or IA men with head
quarters in the basement of the
Pythian building where their appara-
tus was installed and the laboratory
work done.
testing the samples brought in while
others were on the road collecting
samples at all shipping points. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Burnett very little
has been known of the work of this
department as it's nature requires
great secretiveness, in order that
milk shippers who are knowingly
violating the law in the quality OF
milk shipped may be apprehended
before they have a chance to make
any changes that would clear them
for the time being.
The inspection is made not only that
the act may be enforced but that with
the enforcement will come a perma-
nent improvement in character and
quality of the milk shipped.
After the examination in the local
laboratory the results of each are
sent to Washington for consideration
by the secretary of agriculture.
From what has been said by mem
bers of the party here, it is under
stood that the results of their stay
in this locality indicate that there is
considerable room for improvement
in the handling of milk at points of
production.
