of its property at a very fine proht
for all the shareholders.
On the 1000 foot level of the new
shaft, Coppermines, recent drifting
has revealed nine different ore faces,
he copper content of these running
from 10 to 81 per cent n
the veins being from four TO
nine feet wide.
From the openings being made
through these veins, or deposits, .
tons of high grade ore is being sent
each day to the smelter of the Nevada
Consolidated company. at McGiii,
Nevada, about % miles away. The
copper secured from these shipments
amounts to about $4,000 pounds a
day which, with the copper from the
concentrators, makes a very fine
showing
The ores recently encountered
were found by prosecuting the forma
tion north and south from drifts be-
ing run at the 1000 foot level, these
ares agreeing with those found at
similar depth in the old Alpha shaft
which caved shortly after their dls-
eoyerv The manager of the COM
pany. Mr.. L. F. Gray, believes he can
send out 100 tons daily of these rich
ores for some time. ii coming from
the drifts now being run in the ore
deposits. He states that the posi-
bilities of this area cannot be over
estimated.
With its modest capitalization
Coppermines will soon be attracting
attention from It's earnings, which
will be substantial. The contract
with Nevada Consolidated is a very
favorable one for the Coppermines
company, and will add greatly to its
output of metal. The bonds of the
company which we're placed on the
market last winter at $50, are now
$3.50 bid with no stocking coming out.
These bonds pay 7 per cent on the
par value of $100 a share and are a
safe and satisfactory investment.
Coppermines will soon be treating
about 2,50O tons of ore a day. which
will be a great contrast 10 the mac
tive condition of the last several
years. The property has the ore
Several ehurn drills have revealed
a large tonnage of porphyry deposits,
which is being steadily added to. and
now the drifts and croscuts under
ground are proving up much rich
territory that its friends have long
insisted would be found once real
mining was prosecuted. The develop
! ments are very satisfactory to all
those concerned. Iron Ore takes par
ticular pleasure in the results nov
being achieved because it has always
insisted the property would develop
satisfactory. Another reason for
qualification is that right has won
against chieaner and dishonest prae-
tees. Coppermines is now going
right along. Its troubles have been
dispelled, it has been fairly and
honestly conducted. its management
doing this without a cent OF cost TO
the shareholders. and the future will
prove with still greater emphasis that
the mines are all that has ever been
claimed for them.

Scientific Farming
killino and DRESSING.

In killing aud dressing turkeys on the
fsrm they should first be deprived Of
feed for twenty-four hours. but given
plenty Of fresh. clean water In order to
clean the crop and lDtestines Of all
feed. When ready TO XIII the bird should
be hung up by the feet. Holding
the bird In one hand. q sharp, narrow
bladel knife is used TO sever the veins
In the throat by making a small cut In.
side the mouth on the right side OF the
throat. at the base ~ the skull. After
making this cut and bleeding begins the
knife Is then thrust up through the
groove In the roof of the mouth and
into the brain at the back part Of the
skull. On piercing the brain the bird
gives a peculiar squnwk. the feathers
are looscncd by the quiyerlng Of the
muscles. and death II instantaneous.
Picking the Birds.
In dry picking the feathers should
be plucked Immediately. and II the
bird has been properly stuck they come
out very easily. The tail and large
wing feathers are removed first, after
which the body feathers are pulled ont.
When the turkeys are to he marketed
locally or are 10 he shipped but short
distance they are cooled to tempera-
ture OF about % degrees Y. by hanging
In the open air. provided the weather is
cool enough; otherwise they are plung
ed into ice water and kept there until
thoroughly cooled. After cooling they
are packed undrawn IN boxes or bar
rels.
II II lnadvisable for the producer

Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1917-10-15

to ship dressed turkeys. as losses from
improper cooling and from their being
exposed to warm weather during tran
sit are liable to occur. Aside from
this 1t is seldom profitable to ship tur-
keys any great distance except in car.
load lots. When this is done the tur-
keys are cooled to 30 degrees f., packed
In boxes or barrels and shipped In re.
frigerator cars.
Breeding Stock.
As to the best age for breeding stock,
most turkey breeders prefer to mate a
vigorous, well grown young tom cock
ereD with early hatched young hens
pullets) or with yearling hens. Early
hatched turkeys are In most cases suf.
ficiently mature to be used as breeders
their first season. but in no case should
late hatched or slow growing birds be
kept for breeders. An excellent plan
Is to keep as breeders each year one
half yearling hens and one-half early
hatched pullets and mate them with a
well developed and vigorous early
hatched cockerel. Yearling toms can
be used II desired, but owing to their
greater weight and clumsiness they are
liable to injure the hens. Should
yearling or older tom be used care
should be taken to pare Off the spurs
and file the sharp points from the nails.
After the third year the egg production
Of turkey hens begins to fall of. and 1t
Is advisable to replace them with
younger stock.
The most satisfactory time of year tc
select breeding stock is November or
December. BY purchasing early In the
season one not only has larger num-
ber to choose from. but the birds are
given ample time to become acquainted
with their new surroundings before
the mating season. which in the south
ordinarily begins early in February
and In the north about month later

range over wide area than the toms.
and this character should be Of copsid-
erable advantage in getting them in
condition for the market.
Marketing Turkeys.
The marketing season for turkeys is
very short. running from the middle Of
November to the latter part OF Decem-
Der. Most turkey raisers sell their
birds alivedo poultry dealers, who ei-
ther dress them or ship them alive to
city dealers Farmers near the city
markets and particularly those In the
middle Atlantic and New England
states often dress the turkeys and ei-
thcr sell them direct TO the consumer
or to city, dealers. In some sections
shortly before Thanksgiving there Is
held what Is known as turkey day. On
the day before this event every turkey
grower In tue neighborhood kills and
dresses his turkeys and the following
morning brings them into town. where
they are bid on and purchased by what
ever buyers choose to he there, the
birds golng'to the highest bidder.
In sections In which turkeys are
grown In large numbers, ms In Texas,
dressing plants have been built by
poultry dealers, who buy the birds alive
and dress them for the various city
