WYOMING STOCKMAN
 PLEASED WITH DESERT
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

Returning Monday from an inspec- ton of lands south of the Bonanza mining camp in the Harqua Halas range, Thomas L. Pope, of Sheridan. Wyo., stated he would probably be- come identified with the country as a rangeman. He said:
 "We of the North must have an outlet during the Winter from an economic viewpoint of reasoning. The Summers arc adapted to cattle raising but the Winters are severe and cx- pensivc also. l will place a drilling machine in action, and if water is ob- tained at a reasonable depth, a larger portion of our herds will be shipped in. There is now prevailing in the desert region quite a boom in digging for water, and many new cattle out fits are entering the country. Another fine induccmcnt to locate in the desert country is that it Is out of the zone of the vexatious and expensive forest reserve"
 Mir Pope was formerly an army officer, and is nephew of Dr. Pope, who for many years was stationed at Fort Whipplc.

ANOTHER STRIKE IN MIDNIGHT
 TEST MINE
NEW ORE ZONE IS BEING ENTERED OF FIVE FEET IN WIDTH THAT GIVES S27 VALUES.
(From Sundays daily.l

In reviewing development during the past few months on his Midnight Test mines, of Upper Groom creek district, K. NJ. Merrill stated yester- day that the climax was reached few days ago when a iive-foot ore body was cut into oh No. south drift that gave values in gold and silver of S27 per ton. He said:
 Il was advised by telephone of this shoot being opened and I consider the determination made as the most important since the property passed into my hands. The exposing of this mineral condition IS the second on that level, and the length of the shoot will not be known until further de- velopment IS given. The strike, it it may be termed one, places the prop crty as a whole in a generally excel lent rating, and practically establishes large producer for the future. This zone is independently located from other levels which give additional in- tercst to the Midnight Test outlook"
 Mir Merrill IS so well pleased with the last determinations that he is con sidering the placing of an air com pICSSOI III dCllOl dnu tQulpplilS lHC mill plant with a syanide treatment.
 Tn fixing the values Of orc on the dump and ready for breaking, he gives the amount as Sl20,000, hence reduction is now deemed as essential when so many ore conditions arc ready to draw on. Aside from what has been proven on the level above, the initial operations on this prop erty proved a surprise when a short time ago drift No. exposed a bon anza condition that gave from l2- inch ore body from 6 to ounces in gold and from 300 to l 200 ounces in silver. In drifting south on No ? the first shoot encountered ranged to as high as $500 a ton in a I4-inch orc body. The new strike widened to five feet and all points opened show ing attractive conditions in evidence, naturally cnlivens interest in this old mine, which has laid idle for many years previous to Mir. Merrill taking it over, less than six months ago.

TIPS FOR HOUSEWIFE
ON BUYING POTATOES

The following suggestions to house
wives by home economics specialists of
the Department of Agriculture are made
in regard to the selection Of potatoes for
table use:
In purchasing potatoes for table pur-
poses, the following points should be kept
in mind: First, that smooth potatoes are
more desirable than rough ones, because
they are more easily prepared and less
loss is involved in the pairing. Second,
that tubers which have been exposed to
light for any considerable period soon
acquire a more or less acrid taste: for
this reason. newly harvested potatoes. II
mature, are preferable for the winters
supply to those which have been kept
for any considerable period under insult
