Cattlemen Wanted For
P~rOSpeCtOrS
Free Assaying And Course In
MinerOlOgy Offered

Stockmen in New Mexico, Ari-
iona and other western states,
where the government range is
still open and used for stock rails
ing, whether it be cattle, sheep
or goats, are beginning to realize
what a wonderful opportunity
their line of business offers for
the finding of valuable mineral
deposits, as a side line, providing
they are able to recognize the
minerals when they see them.
This is, of course, due to the
fact that the cattleman, whether
riding the range looking after
his cattle or the goat and sheep
man while herding and looking
out for his goats and sheep, is
travelling over a section of the
country which is highly mineral
ized-in fact, the section where
a large part of the mineral of
this country is produced. This,
coupled with the fact that he is
required to follow his stock into
all sections of this district and to
be we'll acquainted with every
nook and corner of it, gives him
the chance of looking over areas
where the professional prospect
or rarely, if ever, goes, either be-
cause he is hampered by an un.
favorable opinion of those parts
or because Of the difficulty of the
journey.
This is most important, because
mineral is where you find it,
and to get the best results, pros
pecting must not be hampered by
a lot of theories which only too
often fall down. This fact has
been proven by the number of
mines that have been discovered
by the so-called tenderfoot. who
had no prejudices to hamper him.
and went where the old-time
prospectors thought it folly and
waste Of time to go.
The stockmen of this section
are particularly well favored. If
they are to follow prospecting
as a side line, they can send their
samples to the laboratory of the
Arizona State Bureau of Mines
of the University of Arizona, at
Tucson, where they are classified
free of charge by experts con-
nected with the bureau.
70 extend its usefulness to
these men, the bureau is to give
a short course in practical miner
alogy for the prospector in all of
the larger towns of the state so
that anyone who may care to
learn how to make the tests for
the common minerals can do so
at no expense.
From this it can be seen that
the stockman could well do a lit
tie prospecting on the side, hav.
ing the best opportunity in the
world for finding a valuable min
eral deposit, if he will just look
for it, and will teach him to get
the best results possible from the
deposit if he should find one.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shanpoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain rnul-
siied cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.
