Charles Smith was In the city this
week from the Ten Mile mining district
ON his way to Spokane where he goes
1t Is understood to close up the sale
OF half interest in the New York
and Anaconda groups of mines, and to
arrange for the purchase of new ma
chinery for both properties.
Mr.. Smith was not inclined at this
time to make any statement for publi-
cation, but the information bhas been
gathered from thoroughly reliable
source, that a half interest In the wen
Known New York property has been
sold for $4,000 and a half interest in
the Anaconda for $25,000 with the
agreement that the purchase price is
to be put into new machinery for the
properties, and Mr.. Smiths mission to
Spokane at this time, II is well under
stood, Is to carry out the provisions of
this sale.
The three Smith Bros, have been
doing well ON the New York for the
Iast two years, having brought out
regularly from $1700 to $1,000 in bulli-
on after each clean up, but they have
realized that they have been simply
/ playing at mining In comparison of
what they could do with complete, up
to date equipment on the rich property

fact they have had the good sense
and business judgment to make a sac
rifice of portion of their interests
that they might realize their greater
ambition in big dividend paying
property. IL others would follow this
good example 1t would not be long un-
til this vast mining section would be
brought prominently into the lime
light.
There will be three valuable proper
ties working in the Ten Mile besides
the New York with a good force of
men this season-The Wonder, the
Lone Pine and the Buckhorn, and it
Is safe to predict that they win each

been anything like the activity and in

there is today, and 1t is taking per-

SALTS KILLED DOG.

Since the recent sudden death of Mrs.
Bateman an investigation by DIR. c.
w. Slusser disclosed the fact that Il
powerful poison was contained in the
home remedy taken by the deceased
lady on the morning of her death.
The doctor secured the bottle with
the remainder Of the salts and admin
istered a dose to dog to note the eff
feet and in about three minutes the
canine passed out. The salts in ques-
ton is a weA known brand, and those
connected with the case are at a loss
to know how the poison got into the
mixture as no other medicines were
kept about the premises and the bot
tie was but recently purchased.

OROCRANDE MINING COMPANY
PLACES LARGE ORDER FOR
new MACHINERY
Elk City and Ten Mile Properties Operating Interior Points
Handicapped by Transportation
Facilities

F. W. Bewely, of the Orogrande Gold
Mining Company, has returned from his
trip to Spokane, Wash. and Boise, Idaho
after ten day stay on the outside. He
attended the directors meeting at Spos
kane at which the company decided
on putting in new machinery to place
the mine on an operating basis where
1t will be a success in every particular.
A contract has been awarded to the
Union Iron Works, of Spokane, Wash
ington, for over 5000, 600 pounds of
machinery which will begin to arrive
at Sites not later than the Goth of JAN
uary and from this point freighted into
the mines with teams. Phillips & John
son of the Stites-Elk City Stage Line,
will probably handle this contract as
they are well equipped for handling
this class of work.
This shipment" said Mr.. Bewley,
would consist of two five-foot by TWEEN
ty-twO-fdot tube mills for re-grindine
ore, a complete outfit for cyanide
plant consisting of two Door classifiers
twelve Door thickeners, and four Door
agitators, solution pumps, elevators
shafting and other accessories. The pro-
cess used is known as the continuous
counter current decantation and the
machinery is the latest design and
method, and when the plant is complet
ed and in operation it will be the mos
modern equipment for the treatment OF
ore in tile country. The entire returns
will he reduced to fine bullion.

House and travel and freighting slow.
The mail arriving on schedule. Mr..
Mcdonnell reports the Colonel Sellers
mine owned and operated by G. l.. l..
Basket at Elk City, is operating at
full capacity night and day. Under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Basket

He has installed series of concen-
trating tables and is able to save the
values to no small amount He contem-
plates making several additions to the
working machines of his plant which
will materially assist in getting greater
values.

LOWER SHOE PRICES
FAVORABLE PROSPECT

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The posi-
bility of lower shoe prices before long
is held out by Dun's Review, which
in the current issue says:
Probably few people out side of OF
the trade itself realize how sharply
the hide and leather markets have
turned in the buyers favor. Compar-
ing now with the top levels of the
year, hides have yielded, roughly, 20
to so per cent, with leather down APP
proximately the same, and there are
really no established quotations in
either quarter Yet these are symp-
toms which conditions such as were
witnessed last year led one to expect
for both demand and prices were car
red to extraordinary limits, and re-
action was inevitable 1t has been
fastened and accentuated by the Brit
ish import embargo, and the overpur-
chasing Of footwear by consumers and
distributors in this country is now hav-
ing its effect. The outcome of all this,
and of the movement of hides and
skins this way from South American
and elsewhere, has been an extensive
accumulation Of raw materials in New
York and vicinity, and the buyers OF
these and of leather are willing to do
business only at price concessions
while shoe dealers naturally look for
lower costs"

Neero Men Wanted in Army.

Up until the present time the negro
man has had no chance whatever to
volunteer their services to their coun-
try. Now here is their chance.
The war department wants negro
men for the stevedore regiments that
are now being formed. The work is
easy and the pay is high, some of these
men will draw as high as $50 or $40
per month. The government furnishes
them free, board, clothing, medicines,
medical and dental treatment. In fact,
all necessary expenses and the lowest
rate of pay is $50 per month clear.
These men are wanted to load and
unload ships in the big seaport towns
OF the United States, and some will go
to France to work in the big seaports
Of that country. No fighting is required
of these men.

First Inside Story of How The

How the Packard Co was persuad-
ed to give up its ambitions of making
the Packard aviation as famous in the
United States as the Mercedes is in
Germany, and concentrate on the all
American motor, which will bear no

a pugnacious Packard traffic manager
rode in the baggage car with the en-

vitality interesting stories.
But the big story is that on July g.

SOURCE Of GASOLINE
SUPPLY FOUND IN AIR
LIKE MIRACLE-WORKERS OF OLD,
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
EXPERTS MAKE THIS DISCOY-
cry.

/ WASHINGTON, Sept.29-Like mir
acle workers of old, Uncle Sam is ex-
tracing riches from the air.
Embattled behind their test tubes
and Bunsen burners, government
chemists are doing the things which
can't be done. The latest Impossible"
achievement is new method of OBJ
tanning gasoline.
The new method consists of robbing
gasoline from natural gasoline "ab-
sorption."
By the new method the gasoline in
natural gas, though extremely lean,
can be absorbed in oil from which it
is separted by distillation. Natural
gases yielding less than one pint Of
gasoline from each 1000 cubic feet of
gas have been treated with success,
where formerly this gasoline went to
waste, and in addition constituted
clogging nuisance and an expense in
pipes.
The new absorption process is like
" to supplant the older compression
and condensation method by which
about 165,0O0,0O0 gallons of gasoline
were produced in the last two years.
Gasoline thus obtained is especially
valuable, for it can be blended with
matthias otherwise unsatisfactory for
automobile use, and thereby made into
an acceptable motor spirit.
The absorption method is radically
different. At present it is restricted
to the treatment of large volumes of
gas too lean for profitable treatment
bv compression. But experts expect
the value of the new process will soon
be extended broadly.

FOOD SUPPLY OF

INTERESTING STATISTICS JUST
| COMPILED SHOW AN AMAZING
SHORTAGE OF EDIBLE COMMOD-
tiles EXISTS.

The following statement by David
Lubin, American Representative to
the International Institute of Agricul-
ture, is of vital concern to the Ameri.
can people, and Georgia farmers
should do their share to relieve the
tense situation.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Rome via Paris, April s.
For the first time in many years
there exists a deficit in the supply OF
corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, est.
mated at total of 13O,OO0,000 bushels
/ less than the normal requirements
| for countries open to trade The
situation is worse than was expected
last October
Who is going to feed Georgia this
year?
The West has been feeding the
State to the extent of about $50, 000,.
600 per year.
Congress has declared that state
of war exists with Germany. This
calls for an army of half million
to a million men who must be fed.
/ The Western supply which has been
coming to Georgia will necessarily be
diverted to feed our army as well as
the army of the Allies
The following statement by Asst.
Secretary Vrooman of the United
States Department of Agriculture be,
fore the Cattlemen's Association III
Atlanta, Georgia, April 5, is emphatic:
THE most important question con-
fronting us is this: Feeding our ci-
( william population, our army and navy
and the armies of our allied powers.
Unless the South grows food crops in
s.bundance,-in greater quantities
than this section has grown at any
time in its history the South-like
Germany starvation.
1t may be a little late-but not too
late-for the farmers to consider Sc
riously more crops for food and feed
stuffs.
The boys and girls should be en-
couraged to join corn, pig, canning,
poultry and other agricultural clubs.
Conserving products raised. es-
socially by canning and preserving
perishable fruits and vegetables.
Save the breeding stock, as these
will be at a premium, not only during
the Interval of the war, but immedi-
ately .fterwards.
Help your neighbors to securs
/ planting seeds and fertilizers.
Farmers should undertake to feed,
not only themselves, but their city
neighbors. City folks should buy the
local farmers products in preference
to imports.
This is a Patriotic duty as well as
a necessity.
We have the authentic information
from the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. that with the western suppnes
diverted, there is possibility of
Georgia suffering from hunger be-
fore Christmas.
Unless we meet the emergency,
Georgia will be weakness to the ma
ton in this war
1t is also pointed out by President
soule that it may be impossible dur
ing the progress of the war to secure
the transportation of cotton to the
eastern markets. Consequently, the
United states could manufacture only
about seven millions bales and the
price of cotton would likely drop to
low rate.
