MINING NOTES

Camp buildings to accommodate 60
men are being constructed at the
Echo mine at Silverton, B. c., and it
is proposed to increase the staff APP
proximately to this number of men
The shipments of the Rex Consoli-
dated Mining Co. the current month
had gross value of $4,000 up to
Monday last. This is a slight in
crease over the value Of the May
output. An increase in profits is ex-
pected on the production in July.
This will result from improvements
made in the mill and the completion
of timebring in old slopes. The i'm
provements include the installation
of f1otation cells, of which there are
now 10, having capacity of about
Is tons each.
The stockholders of the Northern
Light Mining Co., in annual session,
authorized the installation of mill
of $50 tons daily capacity on the
property in the Pine Creek district
and improvements as may be neces-
sary to place the mine on a produc-
ing basis. A mill like that of the
Ray-Jefferson has been designed by
Frank Franz. 1t will be adapated to
the dressing of lead-zinc ore, the me-
tallic content of which is about even
ly divided in the Northern Light.

Lead producers of the Occur

in response to a call from the COM
mittee on lead Of the national de-
tense council by diverting approx
mately sixth of their July output
to the government. The output Of
pig lead in the United States for
July will be $4,000 tons by estimate.
The government is asking for 5000
tons up to August 1. The monthly
output Of Occur d'Alene lead mines
is approximately 10000 tons of pig
4 lead, which means that the Occur
d'Alene district will furnish a fourth
of the government requirement for
July, or 1000 tons. The output Of
Occur d'Alenes district is IS per cent
OF the output of Idaho.

A CURE FOR GARDEN
PESTS Is ANNOUNCED
How to Prevent Damage to Pro.
duce-Poison for Cutworms.

The western Washington expert
ment station at Puyallup has an
nounced that the following are the
recognized remedies for flea beetles
cutworms and root maggots, which
are attacking garden crops:
Flea beetles-These are little black
jumping beetles, which often cal
holes in the foliage of tomatoes, pc
tatoes, cabbage, beans and sometimes
other garden crops. The plants should
be thoroughly sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture 4-4-50, which acts as a re
pellant, the beetle avoiding the spray
ed foliage. This Bordeaux mixture
not only wards off the flea beetles
but also acts as fungicide for pota
to and tomato blight, leaf spots and
other troubles.
Cutworms-Cutworms are plump
worms one to two inches long, vari
ously colored with shades of green
ish-yellow, gray or brown. These
worms are most active OF night They
cut off young plants, such as toma
toes, cabbage, beans, ETC., just at OF
below the surface of the ground. The
usual method of combating them is
to spread poison bait about affected
plants. This bait is made as follows
Coarse bran .......-................-.15 pounds
White arsenic or paris
green ounces
Salt ounces
Syrup or brown sugar. pound
Lemon extract ...........1 teaspoonfu
Water to make crumbly mash.
About teaspoonful of this poison
bait is spread around each plant.
Root Maggot-These are small
white maggots which are found at
lacking the roots of cabbage, cauli
flower, turnips, radishes and onions
These maggots develop from eggs
laid by a small fly which is very
prevalent through the spring anG
early summer No method of proven
ton has been found for plants grown
from seed, such as radishes, turnips
and onions, but by placing tarred fell
paper disks about transplanted plants
such as cabbage and cauliflower, the
fly is kept from laying the eggs, ant
over 80 per cent of the plants can be
saved If these tarred felt paper discs
are properly placed around the stems
of the plants and dirt is kept off the
disks or collars during cultivation.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says: Busting actiy-
ity characterizes the leading indus
tries, particularly iron, steel, lumber,
textiles, coal and shipbuilding and at
the same time governmental buying
in numerous lines is still spreading
Crop news is better, higher tempera-
lures have made for improvement in
retail trade, railway cars are in rela-
lively better supply, prices for some
food products tend downward and
payments in the larger branches of
enterprise are good.
Withal, wholesale trade is relative
ly slow, recorders going to jobbers are
exceptionally light, conservatism re.
specting buying for future delivery
is in evidence, Injuries and fancy
articles are practically neglected, a
sign that economizing is widely prev
alent and discussions regarding gov
ernmental control of prices makes
for some uncertainty, while the i'm
minent calling of men for military
duty certainly restricts buying of sea-
sonal apparel
However, losses in what might be
termed ordinary lines, this character
ization being used in it's most COM
prehensive sense, are largely, If not
wholly, Offset by governmental buy
ing, and this diversity in the ebb and
flow of things obviously makes for
the working out Of readjustments.
But despite the giving of ground in
some lines, resulting in the transfer
OF interest to other things, the pro-
ducing units of this country are over

Scarcity of labor is still marked
and from many centers also come
reports about the exceptional pau.
city of raw materials. Weekly bank

SHIPMENT OF LIQUOR TO THE
PROHIBITION AREAS Is A
THING OF THE PAST.
OTHER STATES ALSO EFFECTED
Five More to Enter Arid Zone Next
Year-PenaIty Is Heavy-Big
Change Came on July list
at Midnight.

Washington, d. C.-Twenty-three
states became bone dry July 1, the
effective hour (midnight) of the Reed
amendment prohibiting shipment of
liquor into any territory where its
manufacture or sale is prohibited.
Eleven other states are partially af-
fected by the legislation, which has
been hailed by temperance advocates
as the greatest single step toward
abolishing the liquor traffic in the
nations history.
The law bars from prohibition area
whether states or smaller corpora
tions all mail matter containing ad-
vertisements or solicitations for Or
ders for intoxicants, provision de-
signed to aid in enforcing the anti
shipment feature by suppressing the
activities of mail order houses.
Heavy Penalties Set.
Justice and postoffice department
officials have made extensive prep
arations for enforcement of the stat
ute. Ethyl alcohol is regarded by the
federal government as an intoxicating
liquor within the meaning of the act,
but methyl, wood and denatured al
cohols are not so regarded. No ruling
has been made regarding the status
of patent medicines containing. alco.
hol and that question may be among
the first to be passed on by the courts
under the legislation.
The language of the anti-shipment
section is very comprehensive, impos
ing fine of $1,000 and Imprisonment
| for six months, or both, on any per
son who shall "order, purchase OF
cause intoxicating liquors to be trans
ported in interstate commerce except
for scientific, sacramento, medicinal
or mechanical purposes into any state
or territory the laws of which state
or territory prohibit the manufacture
or sale therein of intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes"
The same penalties are prescribed
/ for violators of the anti-advertising
section. For a second offense in eth
er case the penalty is made one
years Imprisonment.
States Affected.
The postoffice department, in pro
mitigating the order for enforcement
of the anti-advertising section, names
the following states as wholly affect
ed by the act: Alabama, Arizona
Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Ne
braska, North Carolina, North Dako
ia, Oklahoma, Oregon. Rhode Island
South Carolina, South Dakota, Ten

Those partially affected are:
California, Connecticut, Delaware
Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts,

York, Ohio, Texas.
The following are affected at future
dates:
