.BURRO KILLS HAWK
THAT ATTACKED CALF

BOWIE, Nov 23-Albert STREET re-
ports that last Wednesday an unusu-
ally large hawk attacked a young calf
in his pasture. The attack was no.
ticed by a burro grazing near, who
took hand in the scrap, first knock
ing the hawk off with his head. He
then jumped on the bird and began
paving it, and finally dropped on his
knees, caught the hawk in his mouth
and shook it as terrier would q rat.
On arriving at the scene of the battle,
Mr.. STREET says, the hawk was dead
1t measured fifty inches from wing to
wing, and would have made it inter
eeting for the calf if the burro hadn't
interfered.

VERDE COMB. IS
LOOKING LIKE A
GENUINE MINE

JEROME. Nov 23.-Conditions in
the east drift on the 700-foot level of
the Verde Combination show a strik-
ing parallel with those Immediately
surrounding the United Verde Exten-
sion ore body.
For IS feet the drift has followed a
streak of white gouge, five or six
inches wide. The material on each
side is white intrusive kaolinized
schist or porphyry. It's altered con-
dition makes it difficult to determine
the exact nature of the rock, but it is
probably schist.
When the east crosscut broke into
the gouge the gouge was between
walls of blue schist. The crosscut
then became drift, following the
gouge to the northeast.
Soon the entire face of the drift was
white. 1t is easy enough to trace the
gouge, but the rock on either side has
scarcely more color.
At one point a bulge in the drift
shows the width of the white material
to be at least twelve feet. No wall
was reached on either side.
"Conditions are ideal for ore," de-
clared Manager Dave Morgan this
week. 1--WE may have to fish around
awhile yet, but the Combination never
looked so good as it looks today. 1t
was by following white intrusive such
as we have in the east drift that we
located the U. V. Extension ore"
There have been no changes of note
in the north or south crosscuts on the
camn 1nvp1

Favorable Mining Terms Presumed
Object of Visit to Capital.
DOUGLAS, Ariz., Nov. 23-George
Young, secretary of Greene Cananea
has gone to Mexico City. where he
will probably be engaged the re-
mainder of this month. Mr.. Young's
visit to the Mexican capital at this
time is considered to indicate that ne
gotiations have again reached an ad-
vanced stage with reference to the
resumption of operations by Ameri
can mining interests in Mexico under
altered and favorable government
terms. Mr.. Young has been very
prominently identified with Greene
Cananea affairs in Mexico for a num-
Der of years and holds the esteem of
all leaders among the several Mexican
factions. Few Americans might be
assigned to negotiations at Mexico
City with more reason for expecta-
tions that success would attend.

EXPLOSIVES NOW
SOLD ONLY UNDER
FEDERAL LICENSE

Inc new federal law governing the
sale of explosives is now in effect,
having become effective Nov 15
Explosives can now be sold only un-
der federal license, according to the
following telegram received this week
at the Arizona State Bureau of Mines
at Tucson:
when licensing agents are desig-
mated notice will be given in local
papers and license issued in all To-
calities. Meanwhile there should be
no interruption in production of coal
or other necessities involving use of
explosives. Manufacturers will prob
ably be licensed by November Is and
on and after that date venders, fore
men, exporters, importers and analysts
should keep itemized record of sales,
issues or other disposition of explo-
sives pending receipt of detailed in
structions and licenses. Give publicity
in your region"
Discussing the new regulations,
Charles E. van .Varneveld, supervising
mining engineer and metallurgist in
charge of the local station, said:
Measure Is Explained.
1.-THE telegram refers to the law
passed by congress and approved Oc-
tober 6, 1917, designated as an act to
prohibit the manufacture, distribu-
tion, storage, use and possession in
time of war of explosives, providing
regulations for the safe manufacture,
distribution, storage, use and possess
sion of the same, and for other pur-
poses.'
'The bureau of mines is charged
with the administration of this act
and conferences have recently been
held to determine how best to handle
the matter of licensing both the seller
and the purchaser so as to give the
least inconvenience and at the same
time safeguard the country against
unlawful handling of explosives
Extract Of Law.
Violation of these regulations is
punishable by fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for one year. or both. The
prohibitory section of the act is as
follows:
Section 5. That from and after
forty days after the passage and ap-
proval of this act no person shall have
in his possession or purchase, accept,
receive, sell, give, barter or other
wise dispose of or procure explosives,
or ingredients, except as provided in
this act. Provided, that the purchase
or possession of said ingredients when
purchased or held in small quantities
and not used or intended to be used in
the manufacture of explosives are not
subject to the provisions of this act.
Profided further, that the superin-
tendent, foreman, or other duly au-
thorized employe, at a mine, quarry,
or other work, may, when licensed so
to do, sell or issue, to any workman
under him, such an amount of explo-
sives, or ingredients, as may be re-
quired by that workman in the per-
formance of his duties, and the work
man may purchase or accept the ex-
plosives, or ingredients, so sold or is
sued, but the person so selling or issu-
ing same shall see that any unused
explosive, or ingredients, are returned
and that no explosives, or ingredients,
are taken by the workman to any
point not necessary to the carrying
on of his duties.

RAY CON REPORT
GIVES OUTPUT IN
THIRD QUARTER

Production figures of the Ray Con-
solidated Copper company for the
third quarter of 1917 show an output
of 21,656,342 pounds of concentrates
as compared with 22,255,598 pounds
in the preceding quarter. The daily
milling average was 9,797 tons as COM
pared with 9,SO4 tons daily during the
previous three months.
Higher unit costs for the quarter,
due to the exceptionally high wages
paid, the tremendous increase in the
cost of all supplies, and state and fed
eral taxes, caused an increase in the
net average cost Of mining the ore
milled of almost IA cents ton over
the previous quarter.

production as contained in the report

SOIL REQUIRED BY ALFALFA
Many Failures to Secure Good Stand
May Be Traced to improper Con-
dition of Seeded.

The tender nature of the young al
falfa plant requires that the soil be in
excellent tilth at the time of plant
ing. Many of the failures to secure a
good stand may be traced directly to
the improper condition of the seedbed.
The aim should be to get the soil finely
pulverized, thoroughly compacted, and
comparatively free from weeds. The
surface two or three inches should be
fine and loose, and below this it
should be sufficiently firm to favor the
capillary movement of water, yet po-
rous enough to permit good drainage
and free circulation of air through the
soil.

IS VERY THINLY POPULATED
South America, With 7,276,ooo Square
Miles of Territory, Has Only
50,ooo,ooo Inhabitants.

South America is thinly populated
The Spanish and Portuguese govern
ments, which divided South America
between themselves in 1894, made lit
tie effort to attract immigration of
their own people and denied admission
to peoples of other lands. The lands
were administered as crown colonies.
Large land grants were made to court
favorites. There was little opportu-
nifty for individual enterprise, even if
the continent had been open to enter
prising men.
1t was only after the Latin repub-
lies had thrown off the rule of Spain
and Portugal that South America
threw open her doors to the immigra-
ton of the world. But revolutions and
epidemics decimated the populations,
and the continuance of the great land
holdings, which were just being brok-
en- up, prevented the close setting of
the country, so that even now South
America, with an area Of 7,276000
square miles as against North Amer
lca's 3,559,999, has a population of
only about 5O,O0O,OOO.
Yet she has millions of acres Of soil
as rich as the world knows, and mines
whose richness passes belief, and wa
terways reaching to the heart Of the
continent, and opportunities almost un-
measured.

COMFORT FOR HORSES
Feed-Bag Makes 1t Possible for
Animal to Enjoy Feed.
Device Invented by Chicago Man Gives
Horse Freedom of Movement While
Eating - Gives Him Good
Chance to Breathe.

Healthy horses, like all other ami
mails, enjoy a good meal, especially
when they can eat it with reasonable
amount of comfort. The old type of
feed-bag which was crowded over one
half of horses head did not furnish
an over-supply of comfort, for every
time a horse shook or raised his head,
he was sure to be greeted with a
suffocating shower of oats pouring
down over his nostrils. To do away
with this and give horse freedom of
movement while eating, Charles A.
Hermann of Chicago has devised a
new type Of feeding-bag. His inven-
ton is pictured in the accompanying
illustration.
The new feeding-bag is very differ
ent from the old, having very much the
appearance of an enlarged handbag.
In this the oats are held horizontally
in position ON each side of the horse

GOOD SEED is RECOMMENDED
First Step to Make in Preparing for
Potato crop-AIways Reject Dis
eased Tubers.

The first step in preparing for q
potato crop is to obtain good seed OF
standard market varieties. Prices
for well-known varieties are better
than for the unknown ones, and it is
easier to secure good seed when stand
ard varieties are planted. If home
grown seed is used, it should be select
ed when the crop is harvested, so as tc
make sure not only of having the most
desirable tubers but also those from
the best hills. Always reject any
diseased potatoes when selecting seed
for they will not only produce poor
crop, but will infect the soil with
disease and endanger the whole crop.
AS a further precaution seed pota-
toes should be treated with either
formaldehyde or corrosive sublimate
to destroy any disease organisms.
This is desirable, or in fact almost ne
cessary, since there are always apt to
be some disease-carrying tubers Sc
lected unknowingly.

PREVENTION OF GRAIN SMUT.
Losses by Disease Can Be Avoided II
FormaIdehyde Is Used-Soak
Seed in Solution.

Losses due to smut diseases in small
grain can be almost entirely prevented
if formaldehyde is used on the seed. A
pound of formaldehyde should be
mixed with 80 gallons of water and
into this solution the seed corn can be
dipped in gunny sack, being left com.
pletely submerged for five minutes. It
should then be allowed to dry for q
day or so before sowing in order thai
it will run better in the drill.
There are other methods of treating
the grain, such as in machinery built
for the purpose, or by spreading the
seed on the floor and sprinkling it. But
care should be taken to moisten the
seed thoroughly so it will pack in the
hand.
There is no, excuse for smut when
formaldehyde can be purchased. The
same treatment will also prevent fax
wilt.

POISONING THE POTATO BUG
Work May Be Done by Spraying or
With Paris Green-Arsenate of
Lead Is Good.

The potato bug may be poisoned
either by spraying or busting the plant
with paris green or by an arsenate of
lead spray. For spraying use one pound
paris green to 30 gallons of water. 1t is
well to add two or three pounds
slaked quicklime to prevent danger of
burning the leaves.
Arsenate of lead is good spray; it
sticks longer, but does not kill so
quickly. Use three to four pounds of
the lead paste in 80 gallons water.

During 1913 the so-called pow

European experience, is a much
more serious disease than ordi-

readily distinguished. The scab
spots produced by the powdery
scab are smaller and often
warty, containing brownish
powder and often surrounded by
