COPPER KING IS
NOW PRODUCING
VALUES BETTER THAN TEN
PER CENT COPPER

Under the name of the Cope;
King, the property formerly known
as the Paymaster, is again attract
ing much attention. 1t was this
property, located in the Fitting dis
trict, which is but the northern *
in the early part of 1907, which ere
ated such a stampede and built up
a town of 800 inhabitants at Acme.
1t was owned by Con Schartzer, Fred
Wallace and Matin Fitting. Its sem
sational values in copper attracted
the west, and George Wingield took
a bond on it for $15O,OO0. A tun-
mel was driven under the supervision
of Jack M~cCrinnon. With the slump
of copper in the late summer of
1907 operations were suspended.
The Copper King is now owned
by Ed O'Shaughnessy, Ben Donnel-
ly and Hays Donnelly. operated I'M
der lease by Ben Donnelly, Mark
Mathews and George Wooten. They
recently sent out a carload of cop
per ore that averaged better than 10
per cent copper. They have a shaft
down 80 feet, and a vein, the aver
age of which is IA to 80 inches, has
been opened up running on an av-
erage 16R per CEN copper. A tun-
mel has been driven in on the prop
erty for a distance of 2S5 feet, and
a winze has been sunk from the tun-
mel level cutting a good body of
commercial ore. The ground is
characterized by strong surface out
crops and iron gossen. 1t has all
the earmarks of becoming n of the
biggest producers in the Luning
country.-Mina Miner.

SECURES OPTION ON
MONTANA yER|kGTOM
MINERAL COUNTY OPERATOR
EXPANDING FIELD OF
OPERATIONS

J. II. Miller, Mineral county's lead
ing mining man, is expanding his
field. He spent Friday and Satur-
day at Yerington in company with
Il. A. Murphy of Aurora, examining
the property of the Montana Yering-
ton company, on which Mr.. Miller
holds an option. He is backed in
the deal by strong capitalists of Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City.
The Montana Yerington is n of
the largest copper properties in the
Mason Valley and Yerington district
and has several thousand tons OF
good grade commercial ore blocked
out in the underground workings
and piled on the dump ready for a
shipment. Mr.. Miller stated hat ne
g~otiations were practically closed.
The only matter that causes 1t to
hang is that negotiations are being
made with the Thompson smelter at
Wabuska, and if this arrangement
is made the property will be taken
over, a large force put on and an
aggressive campaign of development
inaugurated. 1t would mean the
biggest boom the Yerington district
has yet had.
Mr.. Miller has performed a great
work in securing capital for the
mines of Mineral county, and we
congratulate Lyon county that she
has the mining propositions to at
tract his attention and that of his
associates.-Mina Miner.

New FOundland'S First Flour.

St. Johns, n. F., Dec. 1.-The
first -four ever ground in New Found
land has just come from the mill.
Although wheat has been ripened
occasionally in previous years under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
the grain has been fed to poultry.
This year, under the impetus of
the general movement in the interest
of homegrown food stuffs, some very
hardy wheat seed was obtained from
the northern sections of Western
Canada and planted in the western
section of the colony, which has the
most fertile soil on the island. A
sufficiently large quantity was matur-
ed to justify the importing of ID second

Vaisravana is the god of wealth,

to need repairing. In the course of
doing this there was found inside the
image a faxen bag containing the

instruction in ancient Chinese char

From the artistic style OF the carv-

were 900 years old. They were
planted and yielded good crop.

Poultry The Best Chance.
Back Yards And Farms Can
Double Nations Meat Supply

Poultry must be produced next year IN
places where it has not been produced
before, and everywhere that poultry has
been produced that production must be
increased 1t is necessary that people in
the country and in the towns alike an
swer to this call. Farms and backyards
must both do their bit, for the doubling
of our poultry production next year is an
indispensable item in the Nations food
production program-a program which
must be carried out If we are to win the
war.
The meat supplies available for Euro
pean use are short Meat must be sup
piled if the war is won-by the forces
who fight for freedom. The war will be
won if we fail in food production, but
not won by US. We must understand
what will happen if we do not provide the
enormous quantities of foodstuffs that the
Allies can not produce for themselves.
Are we going to feedour army on eggs
and chickens? Of course not But by
greatly increasing our production OF eggs
aid chickens, and by eating those eggs
and chickens ourselves we will, naturally
eat that much less beef and pork. In
turn, that beef and pork can be sent to
Europe.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
calls upon the country to double poultry
production next year. That can be done
if the farms will keep an average of 100
hens instead of 40 hens, as at present,
ard if every family in town will keep
enough hens in the backyard to produce
all the eggs used by that family, or two
hens to each person.
