SOLID COMPANY IS OPERATING
 THE PECK
OLD SILVER BONANZA IS DEFINITELY SHAPED UP FOR BIG WORK ON PER MANENT BASIS, AND BE GINS MOVING.

The Peck Mining Company has been fully financed and operations have started on a huge scale by a private concern, with no additional ,unds forthcoming, except those which may be provided by those few
 interested. The company also has been incorporated on close basis and shares of stock are to be is- sued only to those originally interest ed.
 C. F. Baton, the promoter in re-
 lying this famed silver property, re- mains at the head of the new move nent, while with him is L. c. Kirk
 and, of Chicago, a capitalist, who visited the works last week and ex- pressed himself as satisfied after making complete survey of under ground and surface conditions. Another important matter also was
 oncildcd last week by the appoint nent of Frank H. Giroux, as manag- IT. while later the appointment Of
 upcrintendent and consulting engin-
 CT is to receive consideration.
 The Peck people have made their irst outlay in constructing a new wagon road from the switchback on he Bradshaw mountain railway to he camp distant two miles, and reight has started to move in.
 Ten mechanics are on the ground or initial construction work, and en oute from the east is new ball mill, ompressors. Wilfley tables, classi- fer, engines. IA cyanide tanks, and uge amount of other equipment. w. V. Elliott is to be engineer in charge f assembling the machinery and is n the ground.
 It is expected the plant will be in ction before the first of the year. nd the product first to be treated i'll be the old dump of approximate V 10000 tons, carrying an estimated alue of about S2O to the ton in sil- CT exclusively. The workings of the | Id Peck then will be vigorously ex- loited, which is very interesting l nine undertaking, and in which Mir iiroux will personally direct the de- elopment. He retired short time | go as lessee of the Swastika, near y, and on a parallel Assure to the 'eck, while also has he repeatedly i 'orked the Peck under lease, mak- ng a success. His knowledge of conditions, as we'll as is ability in silver mining, gives to his biggest of early-day silver ,onanzas a decidedly encouraging utlook
 This will be the first extensive de- elopment which the Peck has fac in over third of a century, in mich practical mining figures, and rom the exhaustive sampling made I recent months in old zones it is ut reasonable to anticipate success,

One of the best emergency crops for the farmers of
Morgan county buckwheat. For the benefit of those
who are unacquanted with buckwheat we will give the
more important points concerning its cultivation Buck
wheat can be sowed any time in july but the best time is
about the middle of the month Three pecks sufficient
to seed an acre. The seed bed should be we'll prepared
the seed sowed down and narrowed in. After wheat
and oats are harvested the subbe be turned under

twice as many bushels per acre wheat. Buckwheat

did bread. There is nothing delicious than buck
wheat cakes Buckwheat is splendid feed for all kinds
of Stock especially chickens 1t harvested about the
middle of October Both the sowing and harvesting take
place when the farmers are not rushed with work
Five acres sowed to buckwheat ought on any ordinary
land to produce 60 to rs bushels of grain 1t has been
known to produce more than 30 bushels per acre in this
county. AS emergency crop there is nothing that will
beat it. 1t might prove savior for Morgan county dur
ing the period of the war.

Stick to the Live Stock.

Hog feeders in this section who
lack pasture are having a hard
time of it just now. The man
who turns So corn into 16-cent
hogs is doing so at a loss. All
winter dairymen have complain
ed that they were selling milk
for less than it cost. Beef cattle
feeders in many sections are
joining in the cry. The high
prices of feed and labor are max
ing live stock prices seem low
to the men who have to feed the
stock.
1t is tins for caution and a
great deal Of care in the feeding
of live stock. But it is not a
time to quit feeding live stock or
to go out of the business. !"
That time seldom comes. The
farmer who feeds good stock
year after year a fairly well bal
anced ration of feeds, as largely
as possible home grown, is, as u
rule, the most steadily prosper
Gus and the most successful of all
farmers.
Stick to the COW, the steer and
the hog and they will stick to you.
