with the owners of the Silver Hill, making it almost certainty that they will take that property over and operate it.
 E. J. Kimball returned from Los An geles last week with two of his asso- ciates. It is believed that they plan to begin operations on the Rescue very soon, as their actions since arrival in dicate such intentions.
 A. G. Stearns is here from Los An geles to begin construction of GUS tom mill on the east side of Silver hill. near the railroad track. It will be of 150 tons daily capacity. The type has not been announced.
 Steffys custom mill is rapidly near ing completion. Strenuous efforts have been put forth the past week to finish hauling the final shipment of machinery from the railroad to the mill. This has been nearly accomplish ed. The mill may be in service by the 18th of June.
 The Copper Age is turning up it's mill machinery and the first day of June may witness it in operation Much good ore is being opened up in the new working tunnel, the face of which is yet a long distance from the old workings.
 The Schuyll1in shaft is now at the S00-foot level and when the stump is made, a crosscut will be headed for the vein. If all is found to be well with the ore a mill will be started forthwith
 The power line of the Emerald Isle lhas been finished and all is in readi- ness for the use of electricity in con- nection with the precipitation process in use on that property. and the com pany plans to have an electrolytic process installed very soon.
 Reports emanating from the vicinity of Swansea indicate that Senator w. A. Clark of Montana has purchased the Swansea Consolidated and that his plans embrace the building of a rail- road from that section. via Chloride and the New Weaver district to con- meet with the Salt Lake route at St. Thomas, Nevada. If such plans ma terialize it will give Chloride direct line to the Utah smelters, with result ant low rates and all the advantages accruing to direct rail connection with ! the largest city between Denver and the Pacific coast.
 Already a great deal of Utah capital has been invested here and the com pletion of direct rail communication with this, the fastest growing mining camp in the state, would surely result in still closer business relations with Utah mining men and business houses. ! Native copper is being banned from an eight inch seam of ore in the bot tom of the Bobby Burns shaft. With

marx. They said that Sulzberger products would always sell because of the trademark value, but that the public would have to be educated up to the Wilsol trademark.
 The fallacy of ghis opinion is shown by the fact that sales of the new company in the first year of the new management increased something like $15,ece. coo over the previous rec ord year's business, and indications point to q further increase of at least S15.G00.o00 in the current year.

ably none that is of greater value for it's cost than milk, and few that are appreciated as little. In these times of high prices and scarcity of food, as wide d use as possible should be made of all food stuff which is avail able and milk to farmers and particu- larly to most of the farmers in the Salt River valley is close It hand
 Not only should as wide a use be made oe whole milk as possible buC the use of skim milk should be en- couraged. People do not often stop to think that all the food value of milk except the fat is in skim milk. Many people do not know that many appetizing dishes may be made iron: skim milk. There are many families at the present time that feel they can not afford whole milk who would no doubt be glad to obtain regular sup plies of skim milk if it were possible Here is aH opportunity for some dairyman to work up c trade in skim milk customers, and thereby make a nice profit, and at the same time help out very materially in alleviating the present condition of world shortage of foods.
 A use for skim milk suggested by Professor flunnlngnam or the ArlZonst College of Agriculture is for cheese making A fairly good grade of Neufchatel cheese may be made with skim milk, and this is described in Timely Hint No. 123, Arizona Agri- cultural Experiment Station, Tucson, Arizona.
 Almost every one is familiar with cottage cheese, or Dutch cheese, but many people who would be glad to have this kind of cheese regularly are unable to obtain it. Here then is an- other opportunity for some enterpris- ing dairyman to work up trade in cottage cheese and establish a trade.

MITES ON POULTRY

Poultry losses from insects is rather large and it is impossible to prevent some loss from this source, but every possible effort should be made now when feed is high to prevent as for as may be the destructive work Of these pests. The |. $. department of agriculture has recently announced that one of the best agents for keeping down mites in poultry houses is to spray very thoroughly with half and half mixture of one of the coal tar wood preservers and ordinary coal oil or kerosene. Crude oil and kerosene also gives very good results. Crude oil undiluted is recommended as a dip for scaly legs. One should be care ful in dipping that the oil does not reach above the scaly part of the leg.

The assistant secretary or agrlcul- ture says:
 Every farmer who owns tractor owes it to his country this spring to do all the custom or exchange work he can do without neglecting his own work. Every hour that his tractor would otherwise be idle it ought to be at work helping a neighbor who IS behind hand with his blowing or har- rowing Make your outfit work from dawn to dark: make it work all night if you have enough operators to fill the shifts The acreage to be har- vested this fall hangs on the blow Don't let an acre that might other wise be planted go untitled because your tractor is in the shed.

CottonSeed meal has been Ted 10 some extent by poultrymen for num- Der of years. Some report good re- suits and others do not, depending somewhat upon the manner ill which it is used and the amount. One report states that where third of the ra- tion is composed of cottonseed meal that the average egg production for the year was a trifle over 33 eggs per hen On the other hand where a dry mash with one pound in ten of cot tonseed meal Is used and half as much grain as mash fed. very good re- suits have been secured.

 Every opening n the property shows ore of good milling value. In the vein already drifted on it appears that the vein had been broken and neavv pieces injected into the mass of wall rock. In addition to the gold values, a rich streak of silver has been proven.

In the year 1915 the United States raised ten bushels of wheat per capita. In 1916 the crop was only six bushels per capita, and the consumption was six and one third bushels, and we ex- ported an amount equal to two and one-half bushels per capita. The con- dition of the wheat crop of the United States is much below the normal con- ditfon, and the reports from other countries are not encouraging.

Girls Should Not Take Cocktails
Editor ~ Ivopou's poos.

MARION.
II Is not good form for young girl to
drink cocktails either in a restaurant or at
home Not that there is any harm in the
mere taking of the drink itself, but for
the sake of example and of what people
say. But even II she should take one at her
own home in the presence of her family
and with their approval, she should be care
full not to do so in a restaurant or cafe,
especially II she is alone with a young man.
Only OF late has custom made it pos
sible for a girl Of twenty or so to go alone
with man to a restaurant or cafe for
luncheon She should not go alone for
dinner or supper unless she is we'll on the
shady side of twenty-five, and only then
when she knows the man very well. OF
course. in America an engaged girl is al
lowed to go to a cafe or restaurant with
her fance for supper, but IL she is very
young 1t is even then considered better to
