Aluminium is the most abundant me-
tallic element. 1t is an essential con-
stituent of nearly all rocks except

Though II il moro abundant than

last twenty-five years, for II Is locked
up so tight with oxygen that only tho
electric furnace can easily separate the
two elements and give us the metal for
our pots and pans and the thousand
other things that we now make Of It,
including even the bodies of some au-
tomobiles and certain parts of some

that the oil Is not indigenous to the
strata in which 1t now occurs, but
has migrated from it's source to an

Logging" has taken the place Of boot
logging In one instance which Fed
eral prohibition agents here have
found. On information that whiskey
was being sold In the saloon Of Al.
fred Caspasso an agent went there.
But instead Of inspecting the saloon
he found Caspasso a better subject to
work on for there was something in
congruous about the saloonkeeper's
appearance. The girth about the
calves Of his legs was out Of pro-
portion to his build elsewhere.
Tho agent approached Caspasso
steathily and felt of his leg. There
was q peculiar hardness there which
proved to be ten two-once bottles OF
liquid believed to be whiskey stick
ing In the tops Of his socks.

AFTER LEASES AT
 THE WHITE HILLS

Many men have been looking over the mines of White Hills, with view to taking leases on those important silver mines. So far six or seven ap- plications have been registered and many more are expected as soon as the men get to work. White Hills camp is on the way to complete re- covery and we expect large shipments of high grade silver ore will be the order during the next six months.
 Among the forty-seven claims in the White Hills group there are few that do not carry shippable ore. The most important of the claims upon which chloriders may make big wage are the Daisy, Prince Albert, Chief of the Hills, Horn Silver, G. A. R., Blind Goddess and Schaefer Treasure. These we believe to be among the best of the group for men to secure blocks of ground, as they are in the best possible shape for immediate action. The Norma and Occident are to be op- erated solely by the new company, all the other claims being open to lease. Ores from many of these claims have run as high as 4000 silver and as high as $80 in gold.

THESE SILKS NEED NO DYE
Louisiana Man Has Discovered Meth- cd of Making the Worms Color
 Their Own Product.

While the silkworm has no fancy for any particular color, preferring to weave its cocoon of a drab gray so that 1t will not show against a gray tree trunk, one man has discovered method whereby he can make the little spinners produce any one of the IS shades at his pleasure. The man Is Dr. Vartan K. Osigian, son of long line of silk manufa cturers, and he has an extensive silkworm farm near New Orleans.
 Osigian has discovered that upon feeding the worms certain leaves they will respond by spinning certain col ors. He has carried out his experi- ments until he has the IS varieties of food to produce the like number of colors. The silk thus shaded will not fade in either water or sunlight. Not only has he secured colored silk, but in addition he has increased the cocoon in size until single one pro- vides 1900 yards to strand, and there are two strands to cocoon.

 Mrs. Minnie J. Hardy who has been visiting Mrs. Dick Ishom has gone to Needles to visit with her niece, Mrs. Bryan Hilty. Cowmen are all sore over the ad- vent of so many alien sheep, and it really seems worse than foolish in anyone to add more live stock of any kind to a range that is scarcely suf- ficient to keep life in the home own ed stock already occupying it. We hope they realize all this, and seek pasture elsewhere.
 Feed is coming very slow. A show CT, or rain rather, in the hills last week, only covered limited area. The browse is coming on, however, and will prevent much suffering among cattle. The spring crop of calves is daily appearing, and with any show at all will make good as they are sturdy youngsters, we'll above the average range stuff, both in bone and color markings.
