EUREKA MINING NEWS.
EUREKA-CROESUs

The company's teams are busy
every day hauling ore to the railway
station, and the output of the mine
this week was over so tons of high
grade, mostly from the raise and
drift on the contact of the limestone
and shale. This ore body looks bet
ter than ever and is constantly grow
ing wider. The fissure in the west
cross cut from the 400 foot level is
showing up we'll, with a streak a foot
wide OF siliceous ore running high in
lead and silver. The drift from the
bottom of No. winze, and the cross
cut near the face of the main 400
drift are in ore bearing limestone
with every usual indication of near
by body of shipping grade.
For the past two months general
mining conditions in the Eureka
Croesus holdings have daily been
more promising, and 1t is believed the
new ground now being opened will
steadily yield a much larger amount
of profitable ore than was found in
the limestone to the south of these
workings.
EUREKA-PRINCE
Returns from the recent carload of
ore sent to the Utah smelter were
very satisfactory. and another ship
ment will be made in the course Of
ten days. There is now about 80
tons ready to sack In the ore house,
and the body on the $50 foot level
is as strong as ever. When a cya-
nide plant is erected on the ground, it
will be possible to mine the ore bodies
on a much larger scale, the present
system being to take out the high
grade only. with as little of the ore
running less than so dollars per ton
as is consistent with economical
working space in the mine. A stope
the 100 and $50 levels, when the mill
is ready to treat the product.
EUREKA-KING
In the Eureka-King the sheet of
ore that has been followed for more
than 100 feet in the drift from the
winze has faulted, and the crew is
now sinking on this fault, pieces of
ore showing along 1t as they go down.
A little stopping will be done above
the drift level, to complete SO ton
shipment, most Of which is now ready
in the ore bin.
EUREKA-HOLLY
The delayed sheave wheel that has
been holding back the completion of
the new gallows frame at the Holly
mine has arrived and is now being
put in place, and things are beginning
to look like an up-to-date plant. The
night shift that was recently laid off
has been put to work again.
RUBY HILL
The work of unwatering the LOGAN
shaft at Ruby Hill continues to pro-
gress favorably and muck is now be-
ing taken out of the shaft below the
100 foot level.

CROP HOLDING MOVE
TO AID FARM SALES
cooperative Marketing Indorsed
st. Louis Meet.

st. Louis, Dec. 18.-Plans for car
rying on the various cooperative
|agencies through which it is proposed
to distribute the farming produce of
the nation were under consideration
here today at the final session of the
conference of agricultural representa-
tives, called by the national board of
farm organization.
Delegates viewed the action taken
by the conference yesterday in in
dorsing the formation of cooperative
organizations to handle grain and live
stock as important steps in aiding the
farming industry.
By preventing entire crops from
being put on the market at one time
it was asserted speculative middle
men will be done away with to the
consequent benefit of producers and
consumers.
A proposal to unite t,leir forces in
purchasing agricultural supplies was
also before the conference. Propon-
ents emphacized that better prices
could be otained by such arrange
ment and that it will eliminate waste.

GIRLS PROFIT BY CLUBS.
Earned Money and Saved Vegetables
for Homes.

Coffeeville, Miss, Dec. 49,
Now that Yalobusha along with many
other counties, is discussing the con-
tinuance of the club work for another
year, it may be interesting to know
what one little neighborhood, the
Coker School, which is representative
of many others, has done. The re-
port is given by one of its members,
Audry Wilson, and is as follows:
'ln February of this year, Miss Lii
lian Doris, county economics agent,
organized a club at the Coker School,
with II girls, none of whom had
any previous experience in club work.
"Since that time we have had seven
club meetings and programmes, three
demonstrations, with an attendance of
nearly 100 per cent at each meeting.
Seven of the girls attended the short
course at Oakland and three the one
at Coffeeville. Five hundred jars of
fruit and vegetables have been can
ned, over 1000 pounds of milk saved
and all the required cooking and sew
ing has been completed.
"We had several exhibits at the
county fair and won $50 in prizes, in
Guiding the special prize in dairy
work won by Mayfred Doris. Two
girls canned for the market and have
their goods yet for sale.
Our boys were not idle either,
though they did not win so manv
prizes or make as much money as the
girls. They gained lot of valuable
experience, to say nothing of the
money saved the farmers by ship
ments of live stock and poultry"

BROWNING CLUB MEETS.

The Browning Club enjoyed what
+ was considered one of the most de-
| lightful meetings in its history Tues
day afternoon, Dec IA, in the home of
Mrs. nj. l.. Duncan.
Before the years course of study
was mapped out the club was canvass
ed to ascertain now many states we're
represented in its membership and it
was decided to devote one program to
eacn state on the list.
Tuesday was ARKANSAS Day. and
the program was in charge of Mrs.
E. G. H. Tankersley, and Mrs.
Murphy, native daughters of that
fair state.
Mrs. Tankersley read very inter-
esting an thoroughly enlightening
paper on "Arkansas' Products, Indus
tries and Natural Resources" which,
to those unfamiliar with tae subject,
sounded almost like fairy tale.
Mrs. Murphy then gave delight
fu' talk on the subject of Arkansas
men and women of note" She spoke
feelingly Of A. H. Garland, Clark,
Albert Pike, James Dalton, the in
ventor of the adding machine, Bennie
Babcock, and Virginia Carol Pember-
ton, writer's; Mrs. James J. Reed,
editor and writer; Lillian Hughes,
musician, and others who are loved
and honored not only by their native
state but by tae nation as well.
The next thing on the program was
the Arkansas State Song which was
beautifully rendered by Mrs. Murphy,
Mrs. Tankersley, and Mrs. Lipscomb,
accompanied by Mrs. Johnston on the
piano.
Mrs. Murphy then read beautiful
toast to Arkansas which was fitting
close to the program.
All were then invited to the dining
room Where a delicious salad course
with tea and coffee was served. Each
member and guest was presented with
a very appropriate souvenier, which
consisted of magnificent red apple
of the famous ARKANSAS Black"
variety, which had a little Arkansas
state flag of silk stuck into it and also
had attached beautiful place card of
roses, the state flower.
Besides the members of the club
there were several guests present in
Guiding Mrs. Kimbrough, Mrs. joan
ston, Mrs. Swami, and Mrs. DeGarris,
each of whom felt that the afternoon
had indeed been all that could be de-
sired.

NEW RULES ADOPTED BY
STATE PLANT BOARD

Regulations Affect Railroads, Bee
keepers, Cane & Potato Growers.
Agricultural College, Miss, Dec. IA.
At a meeting of the State Plant
Board just held at the Mississippi A.
and M, College number of new rules
and reglations were adopted, which
affect transportation companies, nur-
series, beekeepers, and growers of
sugar cane and sweet potatoes in Mis-
sissippi and other states.
Among the rules is one requiring
transportation companies to notify
the State Plant Board when ship
ments of nursery stock are received
for delivery. Another rule places a
quarantine on all apiaries and bee
yards containing foul brood or other
diseases, regulates the sale of queen
bees, and the shipment of bees, sec
ond-hand hives, and other fixtures in
to and within the state of Mississippi.
Sugar cane growers are affected
by rule naming the counties in Mis-
sissippi infected by Mosaic disease
and prohibiting the shipment of sugar
can from those counties. A very SIM
liar rule restricting the shipment of
sweet potatoes from those portions of
the State infested with the sweet po-
tato wevil. Regulations were also
made regarding the sale of seed
sweet potatoes, plants, and vines in
all parts of the State.
Quarantines were declared against
several of the Eastern and Northern
states on account of the European
Corn Borer, the japanese beetle, and
the brown-tail mot.l. All these regu-
lations have the force of law and their
violations are punishable by heavy
fines and imprisonment.

To the Editor of "The Eagle"
Oxford, Miss.
Dear Sir,
Please give this letter space in
your paper.
have been resident of Lafayette
county most all of my life up until
about four years ago, when l decided
to look for better country. l had a
nice farm on Potlocona creek, but
decided it was raining too much in
that country for me to farm, so I
came to Dawson County, Texas.
l think l found t1e place l was look
ing for, though we have had too much
rain here this year as this country
doesn't require much rain. Our roads
are good t;le year round.
The first year l came out here
didn't make anything. Since then,
though, / have been making good
crops. One man can work five times
as much land here as he can in Mis-
sissippi, ordinarily, one can make as
much as five or six can gather.
We have two oil wells going down
in the county, prospects pretty good
for oil now.
We have railroad from Slaton,
Texas, down to Lamesa, and there is
talk of another being built from Ft.
Worth through our county, by Lamesa
the county site, running west into
New Mexico, which will open up a
mighty fine country.
This is almost a paradise nine
months in the year. The other three
we have what they call sandstorms
sometimes, though it is nothing more
