UNITED AMERICAN
 INTO ORE $25 ASSAY

The crpsscut from the 665 level of the United American mine has reach
 ed the vein and the first two feet gave assays averaging $24.67. The crosscut will be carried to the hang ing wall, where it is expected still better ore will be found, as the rich est ore was found on the hanging on the levels above. The vein cut in the 800 level was over 40 feet in width and was practically all quartz, only a small amount of calcite appearing. Nothing has been learned from the round of holes that were fired last night, as one of the holes missed and will be fired this morning. Enough has ben seen to predicate big ore body and the placing of the mine on real mining basis.
 The important thing about the cut ting of the ore body on the 665 level of the United American is the estab- lishment of one of the longest shoots of ore in the Tom Reed lode, and that the ore body is of great importance is evidenced by the high milling values that is carried the full length of the openings. As the Tom Reed has opened wonderfully rich ore on the level POO feet below this level we feel assured that the American is now on the high road to prosperous future.

BIC VALUES OPEN-
 ED UP IN TOM REED

It is reported that samples taken from drift on the 600 level of the Grey Eagle mine, of the Tom Reed estate, gave assays as high as $500 in gold, while the ore body lying along the same level and in the stopes runs above $30 in values. This ore was encountered in drifting along the level and appeared to be "selvedge" of the vein. The ore is POO feet be- low the point where the big ore body was opened two years ago in the Bald Eagle, and is probably the same shoot.
 The drift to the east on the 400 level of the Aztec is now about 200 feet in the ore body and still car ries values of about $27. The aver age will probably be about $40 throughout the 200 feet, as the orig inal strike gave values of over $6O to the ton and ran for distance between that figure and $40. From present indications the ore body is quite long, the United American reaching ie oii tilC StlIllt lcNcl lSdlly OOO 1StI to the east of the heading in the Az tee. This ore is rich, indicating that the vein carries high values through out it's length. Should the shoot be found continuous it will have total length of in excess of 700 feet, and the values will be so high that it will surely make the shares of both com panies skyrocket.
 The Tom Reed management has been conservative, but we feel that in the light of recent development the company will surely have to open the big veins at still greater depth. To our minds there can be but one theory regarding the ore deposition along this mother lode, and that is that val ues will eventually be found in the underlying granites. The develop ment of the property at this lower depth will be the only solution of the problem.

GOOD SILVER ORE FROM THE O'FALLON PROPERTY

We understand that a nice body of silver ore has been opened on the 100 foot level of the .o'Fallon mine, sit uated west of Cerbat, on what is known as the Champion lode. The ore shows a width of 30 inches and the average is about 250 ounces silver to the ton.
 The O'Fallon is owned by the Jones brothers and is under option to Percy Allwyn. Mr. Allwyn has about 15 men at work on the mine and is get ting development well under way on the levels, and later sinking will be commenced on the vein. This is one of the old time properties of the Ger bat section and produced considera- ble high grade silver-lead ores.

RICH ORE ON 300
 LEVEL OF CATHERINE

1 On the 300 level of the Catherine
 mine crosscut has disclosed a body
 of very rich ore. The vein along the
 three levels that have been opened is
 one of the most important in the coun- ty, there being 33 feet of solid quartz
 that will average very high in mill ing values. It is said that one cross
 cut on the 200 level disclosed IS feet
 of ore that gave values of $100 and that 2 feet of ore on the 400 gave as- says of $99. For the extent of ore shown in the, levels there is no mine in the county that carries such high values.
 This week we understand Julius Kruttschnitt, Jr., k. Thornton and c. E. Stuart paid visit to the property but why we have not been informed. Mr. Kruttschnitt, Jr., is one of the most important mining engineers in the country and is the representa- tive of the American Smelling and Refining company, which would in- dicate that that corporation is anxious to get a hunk of that big property. That the Catherine is being kept in view by many important mining com panies is no surprise, as every mining is constantly on the outlook for big bodies of ore, and that the | Catherine is of that character is evi- fenced by the cutting of the veins on all the levels.

CARLOAD OF ORE
 FROM NEPTUNE MINE

kasyer brothers and Jackman have carload of ore on the dump of the Neptune mine, in the Wallapai moun- tanse, ready for shipment to the smell ter. This ore will average about 200 ounces silver to the ton. The gentle men have been at work on the mine the past several months and have driven an adit drift on the vein a dis tance, opening up splendid vein of. ore. The drift will be carried into the mountain as far as the ore body con- tinues and then the work of opening stopes will be commenced. The mine IS high up on the mountain and is one of the best looking silver veins in that country.

FIFTY LEADING
BADGER FARMERS
Mathew MicheIs, Progress
sive Dairy Farmer and
Cheesemaker.

Mathew Michels Of Fon du Lac
county has aided in popularizing what
is probably one Of the best practices
Of many Wisconsin dairy farmers. He
produces milk and registered dairy
cattle without mill feeds. "GrOw your
own feeds" may sound like a tough
proposition to some farmers even in
these days of high prices Of feed
stuffs, but when d farmer finds it to
be the best practice, and makes
very good living by doing SO, then we
must admit it to be practice that is
worth considering.
1t is probably this kind Of original
fty that has placed Mr. Michels in the
front rank of successful Wisconsin
farmers. Time Was-and not SO long
ago-When everything wasn't smooth
sailing on Guernfalfa farm, as his
place is now called When, after
spending % years as operator and
owner of various cheese factories and
creameries, Mr. Michels in 1909 bought
the 17O-acre farm upon which his IA
Their and his grandfather had worked
as hired men, he faced several tough
problems. There was the thistle pest,

BEEF IMPORTS GROW
Figures Are Given Out by Bureau
of Animal Industry.
Canned and Cured Meats Show Big
Falling Off for the Period
Covered

There was very little difference in
the quantity of fresh and refrigerated
beef imported into the United States
In 1919 and 1920. The figures are
taken from the meat inspectors re-
ports, bureau Of animal industry, Uni
ted States department Of agriculture.
In 10 months ended in April, 1919,
27,673, 105 pounds Of fresh and refrige-
rated beef were imported. In the
period ending at the corresponding
time in 1920 the quantity Of fresh
and refrigerated beef arriving in the
United States from foreign countries
was 27,9G8, $50 pounds, an increase Of
about quarter Of a million pounds.
Fresh and refrigerated meats Of
other kinds jumped to twice the guam
THY in the 10 months ending April,
1920, as for the same period in 1919.
The figures show 7,933.377 pounds for
1919 and 14,979GG3 pounds for 1920.
But the canned and cured meats i'm
ported during the same periods show
a remarkable drop from 126624,348
pounds in 1919 to less than 100000
pounds in 1920. This item accounts
for the marked decrease in the total
meat products imported. The total
weight imported in the 1919 period
was 168,602,911 pounds, but 1920
brought only 50,246,655 pounds.

for instance. Thistles grew so lux
uriantly on the place that even the
other weeds didn't have a chance to
grow and thrive Their subjugation
was brought about through q double
edged stunt that was characteristic of
Mr. Michels' methods. Alfalfa sOWn
with a nurse crop not only choked the
thistleS into nOneXistence, but alfalfa
became the outstanding cash crop on
the farm.
Mr. Michels was born on the farm
in Wisconsin 60 years ago. When he
was sixteen years old his father
placed him in charge of a cheese fac
tory, after he had learned cheesemak-
ing at a neghbOring factory. In Win
ter he attended district and town
school. Americas first dairy school
was being organized at this time at
Madison, and Mr.. NIichels became
one of it's first students. "Much Of
my success" he says, twas due to the
training that I received at the dairy
school and short course Of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin in 1890 and 1891 as
student, and as an instructor in
1892" At this time he bought
cheese factory Of his own, operated
another, and finally bought a creamery
in his home neighborhood Three
years were spent as an instructor at
the Vermont and Massachusetts Agri-
cultural colleges. His long cherished
desire for farm led to the purchase
of Guernfalfa farm.
Farmers in various parts of the
state have heard Mr.. Michels on the
farmers institute platform, and have
seen him judge butter and cheese at
various eXp0sitiOns and fairs. Since
1905 he has been president of the Wis
cOnSin CReeSemakers' association, the
Wisconsin Butter1nakers' association,
the Wisconsin Dairymen's association,
the Fond du Lac County Experiment
association, and the Fond du Lac
Guernsey Breeders association. He is
at present secretary of the farm bu-
reau Of his county. His herd is on
both the state and the federal &C
credited lists Of tuberculin tested
stock. He prides himself on the fact
that none Of his animals has been
found to be tubercular during the IL
years in which the herd has been
tested.

Discovery Made That Prehistoric

Life History Read From Records They

Advanced to Stage of Pale

Austin, Tex.-Evidence that Texas
was inhabited by a prehistoric people
different from the Indian who rOamed
the plains when the first white man
came has been unearthed by James
E. Pc ce, professor Of anthropOlOgy
Of the University Of Texas. The early
Inhabitants, he said, lived nOmad-

Of the wilderness to another and kill
ing, with rude stone weapons, animals
and even humans for food.
In cooperation with the Smith
sOnian Institution bureau Of entomology.
Prof Pearce has been Investigating
the mounds for more than a year, he
reported.
'The life history Of these people
has been read from the records they
left in their burned-rock mounds or
kitchen middens," the professor said.
"These mounds are piles Of broken
and charred bits Of limestone three or

quent intervals along the Edwards
plateau, extending from Austin west
ward to New Mexico.
"These people evidently were adj
vanced to the stage Of paleOlithic cul-
ture, an earlier age than the period
of heOlithic culture, to which most Of
the American Indians belonged. These
early Texas inhabitants had arrows
and spears tipped with flint points,
Clipped but not polished. They did
not polish their stone weapons, nor
did they engage in any form Of agri-
culture. They We're however, skill

scraping tools made Of flint.
The kitchen middenS which we dis
covered are the only thing Of their
kind in America, SO far as / know,
although they had been found in other
parts of the world. At these sites,
camps were located with a great fire
place in the center, over which huge
slabs of limestone were placed as a
sort of primitive stove, upon which
to cook the meat the inhabitants
killed.
CannibaIism Practiced

balls, for among the refuse heaps have
been found human bones split apart
in order to get at the marrow.
"The soft limestone slabs, being eA;
posed to the weather. broke from time
to time, and were cast aside nearby,
to be replaced by new ones.
"In the course of our Investigations
we have completely examined some
fifteen of these mounds and in them
have found thousands of splendid spe-
cimens of Clipped arrow and spear
heads, as well as scraping tools and
other implements. Bones of the deer,
which were prevalent in this region,
are found in profusion, indicating that
this was the principal article of diet"
