Combination NJ. & Nj. Co.,
to Install Compressor

According to an article appear
ing in the Mining Record, the
Combination NJ. & M. Co., operat-
ing the Gilpin-Orion group in Gil
pin county, intends to install a
compressor and power drills at
an early date and in reference to
further plans of the company
says:
'1ne funds for these operations
are practically assured from the
fact that several of the largest
stockholders of the company, To-
Gated in Boston, are underwriting
a sufficient amount of the COM
pany's treasury stock, not only to
finance these operations, but to
also open up the other two prop
critics owned by the Combination
M. & NJ. company. One of which
is located in Clear Creek county
and the other in Grand county.
THE company also has a val
liable asset in its standing timber,
80 acres of which are located in
Clear Creek county and the same
will be cut and marketed to the
best advantage as mining timbers.
The Combination company is a
well known Colorado company and
owns its mining properties out
right, by right of patent and deed.
All of the equipment is paid for
and it is said there is no outstand-
ing Indebtedness.
The company also holds, un-
der lease, 960 acres of well locat-
ed oil land in Platte county, Wyo.,
southwest of the famous Lance
creek district. The company does
not anticipate drilling test wells
on this acreage, but expects to in
terest some of the large compan-
les operating in that district and
have the test wells drilled on a
ROYALTY basis"

Smelter Raise Affects Us
Very Little Here

C. A. Frost, who represented
Gilpin county at the conference
held with the smelter officials in
Denver on Friday of last week.
says the contemplated raise in
smelling rates on silver-lead ores
will not affect Gilpin county op-
orators as there is very little of
this character of ore produced in
this camp. The new schedule
will mean a 10 per cent increase
in smelling charges when the sill
yer content of the ore is over
$4,000 a ton, or $1.00 smelling
charge for every $1,000 silver con-
tent with maximum of $1,000 a
ton treatment charge. The smelter
will pay on 3 per cent lead and
this comes under the lead sched-
ule. This does not affect lead
concentrates, regardless of how
high silver values may be. There
will be a slight increase in the
smelling charge on high silicious
ores, but this concerns Gilpin
county very little.

and September, for during those two
months the bulk of grasshopper eggs
are deposited. Last year in North Da-
kota hoppers were found depositing
eggs through the last week in July,
and during August and September
many more were put in the ground.
The many different species of the
grasshoppers have more or less diff
ferent habits but the females of most
of these different species deposit two
pods or clutches Of eggs, while sew
eral of the most common species de-
posit three and four pods of eggs.
The larger grasshoppers lay from 40
to 80 eggs in one pod, while the small
er species lay 18 and 20 to 40 but de-
posit more pods of eggs. These eggs
are placed at depth of l to ! 1-2
inches and are easily accessible to
plow or disc. Fall blowing to a rea.
sonable depth, followed by narrowing
is probably the best method of de-
stroying eggs. Spring plowing and
is about as effective, and
ground is not too heavily matted with
weeds. Besides plowing, there are
some natural forces that destroy num-
bers of grasshoppers' eggs, weather
and other insects help in this manner
to a large extent. If during the
Matching of grasshoppers we have wet
and muddy fields, the young
will not be able to work

The time is almost here when the
crops for 1920 will be in the ground,
and as the seed is being planted peO-
pie will look into the future and spec
ulate on the crop. Will there be
enough rainfall; will the rivers flood
the county; will the crops be hit with
hail; will the rust show up this year;
will grasshoppers harvest the crop?
This brings US to the question of
this article-what about the grass
hoppers? Practically all Of US have
had some experience with grasshOp-
pers. Some have seen the Rocky
Mountain locust drop down on the
fields and eat every green spear OF
vegetation, and can remember that
the next year there was little if any
damage done by these pests. And be-
cause of this experience many people
are not thinking about the possibil-
tiles of grasshoppers showing up this
year. There is quite difference be-
tween the person who is knowingly op-
timistic and the man who, like an os-
trich is unafraid because he turns his
face and thoughts away from danger.
What Will the Summer Bring?
We wonder as to whether or not
the spring and summer will bring
boards Of grasshoppers from the
earth. There are several agencies
which we must take into consideration.
First of these is the number of grass
hoppers in the fields during August
