FOREST NOTES
L~>>~>A>>>>~<>~>,

A cattleman on the Datil Ma
tional Forest, New Mexico, pays
Indians 25 cents per hundred for
grubbing out the loco weed, so
destructive to cattle and horses
in the Southwest. This is said
to be the only effective way of
combating this poisonous plant.
On the parts of the Angeles
National Forest in California the
packrats are so abundant that
many of the young pines planted
by the Forest Service have been
killed or injured by the rodents.
The damage seems to take place
chiefly in the late summer and
fall and is more extensive in dry
thanin wet seasons. 1t is thought
that the rats tear off the tender
barks of the trees to obtain mois-
ture at times when water is
scarce.
A total cut of "a, 1863, 1877, 900
feet of lumber in 1916 was re-
ported to the Forest Service by
17,201 mills which had returned
schedules up to April 18th. 1t is
estimated that 30,081 sawmills
were in operation during the
year. By a series of deductions,
based upon previous census work,
the computed total cut is 80, S07,-
251, 900 feet.

A called meeting of the Ladies Aid Society was held in the Chapel on Tuesday afternoon of this week Several questions of importance were brought before the ladies and it was decided to hold an Oriental Bazaar in the near future. This society has been increasing steadily during the past year and the members have made a success of every venture they have tried in behalf of the society. No definite arrangements have as yet been made and all announcements for the big event will be made later The regular monthly meeting of the society will be held at the home ot Mrs. Charlton Jay on Thursday after noon, March 8. All members are urged to be. present.
 One of the prettiest social affairs of the season was held at the Mo renci Club on Friday evening of last week, when the Morenci Dancing Club gave a masquerade dance. From the sublime to the ludicrous, the costumes represented everything from a Fiji islander to Little Bo Peep and many were artistic and beautiful Domino costumes were in abundance anu d party Ol Oen IepleooACou bunch of Chinese. Jay Dynamite Chrisman with the huge head repre- senting the Yellow Kid" was quite the hit of the evening and had every body guessing. At 11:30 the masks were raised and the remainder of the evening was spent at impromptu dancing. R. T. Weller and orches- tra furnished the usual good music for the affair and during the small hours of the morning the affair was brought to close.

ICING OF CARS BIG ITEM

During the season ending Oct. 31, 1916, the Pacific Fruit Express com pany used for icing refrigerator cars in the state of California 3S5,279 tons of ice. Of this amount 193,35S were manufactured in Colton, Los Angeles and Roseville.
 To give an idea of the quantity, the ,279 tons of ice used in California if melted would equal 92,466,960 gal Ions of water. The same amount of tons, namely 3S5,279 loaded in box cars averaging 20 tons of ice each would require 19,264 cars to transport them Coupled into one solid train, they would cover a distance of 160. 5 miles. extending from San Francisco to 25 miles beyond Towle Station on the Ogden Route of the Southern Pa cific or 10 miles beyond Merced.
 Tonnage of 3S5,279 equals 2,56S,526 cakes of ice weighing 300 pounds per cake, each block 37 in. long. These cakes, placed end to end in a contin- uous line, would cover a distance of 1500.3 miles, the distance between San Francisco, and Green River, Wyo., over the Southern Pacific to Ogden and thence via the Union Pacific to Green River.

LABOR LAW MAY sE TESTED

Phoenix, Feb. 24-Validity of the Arizona labor law, relating to the mum per Of hours a woman shall be en- piOyed per week, is questioned by the Dominion hotel Of Globe in action talk on yesterday asking that permission of the state supreme court be granted iE taking an apreal from the decision Of that tribunal to the United States Supreme court.
 1t is the contention of the Dominion hotel that the Arizona law, as it is at present constituted, is in violation of rhe federal constitution, being an ar bitrary and discriminatory legislation, in as much as it excludes railroad eat ing houses and restaurants. This is in contraVention to the provisions of the 14th amendment to the constitution of the United States, it is claimed.
 Should the appeal be granted and the United States supreme court find that the Arizona law is a violation of the federal statutes, such a finding would, of course, invalidate the whole law
 The Dominion hotel of Globe was convicted early last year of employing dining room girls more than an aver age of eight hours a day for seven days a week A fine of $100 was i'm posed by the court. An appeal was i'm mediately taken to the supreme court and that tribunal sustained the ruling : of the lower court.

MINING MAN SAYS STEEPLEROCK |S
 BOOMING
President of Gold Buttes Mining and
 Milling Company Talks of Outlook

The Steeplerock mining district,
 says J. F. Fraser, president of the
 Gold Buttes Mining and Milling com
 pany, and now at the Hotel Paso del
 Norte, in Fl Paso, never looked better
 and it's great future production is now
 assured, as big and new mining. cap
 ital has already entered the field and
 is starting operations on a scale of
 first magnitude, now that G. NJ. Heck
 scher multi-millionaire of New York, and head of the great New Jersey Zinc company, has secured control of the
 famous Carlisle mine. While this
 mine was a noted gold and silver pro-
 ducer in the early sos and for num-
 Der of years furnished ore that kept
 the old Cotton mill busy, and yielded
 it's former owners about seven mil lion dollars, before the ores in the sul- phide zone were encountered at depth that could not be longer treated by the amalgamaton process; neverthe- less the recent development by the Inew owners has demonstrated that the property has more wonderful ore body remaining apparently ineXhaust- ible, that can be profitably treated by concentration and oil Notation; am bunting to about six million dollars in value. To this proven property must

be added other mines to the "ballelu- jah chorus of the Steeplerock mining district, such as the Jim CrowImperial group; recently purchased from Geo. H. Uter by a syndicate of Los An geles and New York capitalists head ed by J. w. Bunham This property is immediately west of the Carlisle mine. G. A. Whitefield is present manager and already new hoisting and pumping machinery has been install ed and a force of about 20 men is at work. Besides these two proper ties several others are in active op- eration in the district.
 In the opinion of Mir. Fraser the most important properties of the en- tire Steeplerock district and possibly of the entire county of Grant, N. M 7, are those of the Gold Buttes Mining and Milling company, situated about five miles northwest of the Carlisle
 mine This company has recently
 been organized by the Fraser brothers,
 former owners and promoters of the
 Twin Peaks group of mines in the
 same neighborhood. The new com
 pany has taken over all of the Twin
 Peaks property in exchange for some
 of it's stock It also owns new com
 bined mining grounds valued three times as much as the old Twin Peaks group, including the New Strike group of gold mines, of II claims or 220 acres of mineral-bearing ground direct ly southeast Of the Twin Peaks group. This group covers a gigantic gOld-bear- ing lode, a Assure of quartz, over fifty nine feet wide, free milling ore, aver aging five to ten dollars gold per ton from wall to wall. Besides this man. moth lode it is believed that cross-cut tng will show numerous smaller veins and quartz-filled fractures, which com bined will constitute a large mass of

proposition, only comparable to those of the great Homestake gold deposits in Leads, s. D., and of the Treadwell group of mines on Douglas Island, owned by the Alaska-TreadweI Gold Mining company, the lode of which is from 300 to 400 feet wide and with proven commercial milling ore over a mile in length, with ore reserves esti- mated at 701 ,755 tons of average grade of s2 2S gold per ton, of which 90O,211 tons are profitably milled per annum.
 In addition to the enormous tonnage of low grade milling ore in the New Strike property, there occurs some of the highest grade gold ore ever dis covered in New Mexico, some of the specimens taken out being almost half pure gold. This new property has paid from the grass roots, about 600 tons of the sorted ore having been shipped to the Copper Queen and Shan non SmelterS, averaging better than S30 net per ton in gold anu silver. Our properties have been examined by two of the foremost mining engin- eers of Arizona and both admit that they are unrivaled by any in the en-
 tire country. On both groups they have done about 1000 feet of develop ment work, principally on the Twin
 Peaks group. Our plans are to do 1 300 feet more work on the Gold Buttes, gaining depth and blocking out ore. When this is done a mill will be completed, as we have most of
 the machinery and material on the ground. In short we have a true ifs sure 30 feet wide or ore averaging $5 to $10 per ton, a steam-shovel prop osition at the surface and over mile long. It is an investment pure and simple rather than a speculative prop osition."
