this week brought a dozen instructors
from the University of Vermont and the
State Agricultural College, nine in
structors in agriculture and three in
home economics, who carried out the
program of instructions previously out
lined in The Register. The meetings
were not as well attended as desired,
there being only Is or 20 men and about
as many women, but those who took
advantage of the meetings are congrat-
ulating themselves on the benefit which
they proved to be. 1t is almost as good
as a short course at Burlington, cover
ing variety of topics concerning farm

The local committee did remarkably
well in making arrangements for the
entertainment of the Instructors, who
were much pleased with their reception

M'CRACKEN MILL NOW BEING
 INSTALLED ON THE PROPERTY
One of Best Milling Systems in the Country Soon Will Be
 In OperatiOn Hoffman Here From the East.

J. H. Hoffman, who has been il Kingman several days, returning from a trip to Indiana, where he conferred with the president of the MeCracken Silver-Lead mining company, was in terviewed by the Miner reporter. MT. Hoffman stated that the company had arranged for the installation of a mill ing plant on the mines, the conven- trators being the Stebbins patent. This plant will handle approximately 200 tons daily. The mill will be one of the first dry units that has been tried out with dust eradicators. While the whole crushing arrangements will handle the ore dry, it is purposed to carry the dust away to points where worlmen will not be effected. The mill has been planned to a nicety and it is thought that it will successfully treat the ores from the mines.
 The ores from the mines should prove easy milling problems, as the values run in silver, lead and gold. The lead is in the form of carbonates and sulphides, the carbonates being heavy and mostly granular masses. A big tonnage of this class of ore has been opened, and when the present tunnel reaches the big vein, the out crop of which shows wonderfully rich lead ore, it is expected that enough ore will be opened to keep the pro- jected mill running for a year. The drift is being carried in on one of the smaller veins, which is also showing good ore values. Many of these will be reached from the tunnel now being driven into the mountain.
 A new wagon road is almost com pleted to the millsite, which will cut off by many miles the haulage to the railroad. The road has been graded from the old road to the mines around the lower end of McCracken hill and onto the company's ground. Trucks are now being driven over this road and the machinery for the mill, part of which is now at Yucca, will be haul ed out.
 The old McCracken property is replica of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan properties, at Wardner, Idaho, with the exception that there has no zinc developed in the McCracken, while the Wardner properties carry considerable values in the metal. The mines are among the big properties of the state

Local patriots, who have purchased Liberty Bonds on the part payment plan, are urged to make final pay ments as promptly as they can do so for two reasons. First because it will greatly help the federal officers in charge of this work to dispose of the enormous amount of detail necessary. And second, because subscribers will avoid paying deferred interest on their bonds beyond the date of final pay ment.
 In answer to numerous inquiries on the subject of deferred interest on Lib erty bonds, Cashier J. H. Rosenburg of the Arizona Central Bank, has made the following statement:
 "In considering the unearned inter est of Liberty bonds, which is exact ed by the United States government from June 15 to the date of final pay ment at Washington or one of the twelve Federal Reserve banks, it should be borne in mind that these bonds draw interest at the rate of 3 1-2 per cent per annum from the ac- tual date of their issue, June 15, 1917, to June 15, 1947. They are coupon bonds and regardless of their denom- ination, or when they may be paid for, nothing can alter the fact that they are all dated Junen 15, 1917 and that interest must be paid by the gov ernment from that date.

Little Waif Finds Homein Family of
 a Chloride Miner
CFrom Mondays Daily Miner)


 Alone in the world, hungry and with none to throw a protecting arm about him, little curly-headed Arthur Huntsman, aged 4, finally has found a home. In the future he will enjoy the companionship of two other chil- dren into whose home he has gone, and father and mothers love will be his for the asking.
 Application was made at the office of the county attorney last Satur- day by Mir. and Mrs. J. A. McSwain of Chloride to adopt the little boy. They have two children of their own, but the pitiable plight of the little out cast appealed to them. MT. McSwain is a miner and formerly lived at Old trails. Arthur Huntsman was aban- doned by his parents at Oldtrails some time ago and the little fellow was left in a cabin 36 hours without food or attention. The request of the kind hearted couple will be granted and the tender care of a mother will be be- slowed upon the lad to make up for other joys he has missed.

LORE ID TRY OUT NEWPROCESSON
 MILLER CLAIM
(FrOm Tuesdays Daily Miner1

H. D. Lore, of the Mohave County Abstract company, who has taken over the holdings of the American Metals and Alloys company, in Deluge Wash, was in Kingman yesterday and re- ports that his company is about to test out the new process recently in stalled for the separation of the moly- bdenite from the gangue and copper. He believes the new plant will be a complete success. The company will work on the Miller claims in Deluge wash, which have exceptionally good showings of molybdenite. The mill formerly operated by the old company is to be used for crushing the ore, but the treatment will be by an entire ly different prCcCss to that in use at that plant.
 This will be tie third molybdenite mill in the district, and it is to be hoped that it will be the big success that it's projectors claim.
