Notes on Farming
BY J. A. johnson.

1t is not uncommon to hear some
one remark that lots of boil WeeVils
are found in cocklebur weeds and in
the roots of these plants, but these
same parties will become sufficiently
ACQUAINTED with Mr.. Boil Weevil in
the very near future to be able to dis
tingui9h accurately a boil Weevil from
a cocklebur weevil.
It takes more know how" to farm
successfully than to engage in any
other trade; but the farmer gets his
living as he goes along. Other trades
do not.

PRESCOTT, AriZ., Aug. 17.-A mln- ing deal of paramount importance to the mining industry of Yavapai county was closed here a few days ago by the transfer of d very generous con- trol of the Jerome Copper Mining company to the General Development company, holding corporation for the Miami Copper company and other suc- ceSsful mining ventures throughout the United States and elsewhere. The monetary consideration has not been made public, but your correspondent can state authOritatively it was com mensurate with the value of the Je- rome Copper company's mining realty assets in the Jerome and Mayer fields: which is to say it was a large sum.
 The transfer of control to the Gen. eral Development company was given official sanction at a meeting of the per Mining company, held in this city August 9th which was attended by all of the local members of the board and by F. Wellington Hay of Toronto, mem- Der of the Canadian parliament, and by Gus Zorke, Fl Paso banker and cap italist. At that meeting the board of directors was increased from seven to nine members by the addition thereto of Homer E. King of Prescott, and H. E. Crawford of Los Angeles, mining en- gineer.

 Development Underway
 Development of the companys prop erty was taken over as or August isS under the management of the General Develonment company and is being furthered under the supervision of A. L. Johns formerly associated with the mining interests of the Marcus Daly estate. It was under the supervision of MT. Johns that the companys Ewing t& Hooker group of nine claims at Jerome was developed to the stage where it warranted the investment or large capital This is particularly true of the Porous Iron claim of the group, where the copper showing is one or the best for the depth gained, in the Jerome field For a number of weeks past until recently, a corps of mining en- gineers of the General Development company's staff was engaged In max ing an exhaustive examination of the Jerome Copper Mining company's holdings at Jerome and Mayer, and the favorable report made to headquarters was based largely upon the work done under the direction of MT. Johns.
 At present a crew of eighty men is employed in building a road to the company's Ewing X Hooker group, and this is to be followed by like work on the company's eleven claims in the Mayer field. The acreage at Mayer, like that at Jerome, presents a very promising copper showing. Proximity to the mine of the Arizona Bingham ton Copper company, now on paying basis. has of late added to the value of the Jerome Copper company'S holdings at Mayer The road building now un- derWay is a necessary preliminary tC the installation of machinery and the opening of both groups at depth. Under the management of so influential anG financially stable corporation as the General Development company it is al but needless to add that work will be vigorously prosecuted and will be fa- cilitated by adequate machinery equipment
