MILLET HAS
A RICH MINE

The Manhattan Chamber of
Mines reports that E. H. McMurray
and associates have recently been
making an examination and samp-
ling a silver-lead deposit situated in
the Toiyabe range. about 40 miles
north from Manhattan and close
to the Millett postoffice. The prop
erty is what is known as the Cleve-
land mine, and a very large vein
has been developed with drifts,
winze and tunnels. In M place
the vein shows for 80 feet with
neither hanging, nor foot wall in
sight.
Although not very much develop
ment work has been done on the
vein, great possibilities for it to be
a big mine are apparent. The main
deterrent is it's inaccessibility, To-

controlled by the war industries board.
They will also, in contact with the
railroad administration, aid in secur-
ing, so far as practicable, facilities for
the transportation of road materials
and supplies. Furthermore, the office
of public roads and rural engineering
will act as the medium for furnishing
information and assistance on highway
problems, especially to state highway

fculties which they encounter.
When the United States entered the
war the work of planning state high
way systems, so that, as far as neces-
sary and feasible, they would connect
with the systems of other states, was
we'll under way. This resulted from
efforts to administer the federal aid
road act, so that the roads of vital inn

other purposes should first be dealt

the states must maintain the roads
and that before any money can be ex-
pended the roads must be selected and
approved and plans, specifications and
contracts submitted.
The secretary also calls attention to
the fact that road engineers have been
provided by the department for each
of the army environments and for work
on roads elsewhere in which military
authorities were interested.

and have served as effective centers
from which to launch and extend the
campaign for increasing poultry pre-

ton 1t is not necessary to say in this
connection anything with regard to
breeds that should be used, but to the
general farmer some suggestions aleng
that line might be of assistance il
making the adjustment to changed
conditions.
Standard poultry, as the phrase Is
commonly used in America, is poultry
bred to the standards established By
the American Poultry association. The
object of making standards for poultry
is the same as the object of making
standards of weight, volume or qua-
ity for any product OF commodity;
|. e., to secure uniformity and estab-
lish a series of grades as a basis Of
trading in the article.
In making standards for poultry
which apply in the process of produc-
lion, the principal points consideres
are size, shape and color.
Size and shape are breed characters
and largely determine the practical
values of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varieties differ
ing in color but identical in every 9TH
er respect. Color is not "a primary
utility point, but as a secondary point
often comes in for special considera-
ton. For example, a white variety and

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Governmental agencies dealing with
highway problems fully recognize the
vital military and economic Importance
of the country's roads, according to a
letter from Secretary of Agriculture
Houston to Arthur H. Fleming, chief of
the state councils section, council of
national defense.
The. secretary, whose department adj
ministers the federal aid road act,
stated also that the government recog-
nizes that it is necessary to construct,
reconstruct or maintain roads essen
tial for military and vital economic
purposes and to defer action on roads
not of this class; and that it is desir-
able, wherever possible, to use local
materials for road building and MAIN
tenanee in order to relieve railroad
traffic.
Important highways, as described in
the secretary's letter, include only
those utilized, or to be utilized, by the
military establishment, those which
carry considerable volume of mate
rails and supplies essential to war in
dustrfes, and those which have bear
Ing on the production and distribution
of food supplies, connecting popula-
ton and shipping centers with sur
rounding agricultural areas.
Attention is called to the formation
of the United States highways council.
This body was suggested by the secre-
tary to coordinate federal agencies In
terested In highway problems. The
council is made up of representative
each from the department of agricul-
ture, the war department, the railroad
administration, the fuel administration
and the war industries boards. 1t will
form unified agency for dealing, on
behalf of the federal government, with
highway construction, maintenance and
policies. 1t will, of course, through the
office of public roads and rural engi-
neering of the department, continue
the close contact already established,
both formally by law and Informally
by practice, with the state highway
commission In each state.
The office of public roads and rural
engineering and the highways council
will actively consider the supply, for
highway purposes, of road oils, as

materials controlled by the fuel adj
