SAY HIGH PRICES
CAUSE GLUT OF MILK

With stock-feed prices at the low
est level in years and milk prices cor
respondingly lowered, dairymen of
New Castle county declare there's a
big surplus of milk piling up because
the price reductions are not passed
along to the public, which is still
paying war prices for ice cream, sun
daes, milk shakes and other popular
semi-luxuries. The dairy farmers de-
clare the consumption of ice cream
has been cut in half during recent
weeks because the prices in restaur-
ants and soda fountains have not come
down along with wages.

READY TO SET SWEET POTATOES

Near Seaford and Laurel where
the sweet potato crop is a large fac
tor in truck growing, the planters are
ready to start setting plants. They
are now getting in large quantities Of
phosphate for the sweet potato crop.
They have deferred buying fertilizers
with the hope of reduced prices, but
the time has come when the potato
ground has to be made ready.
Sprouts are unusually plentiful and
have come very quickly, thousands of
them are now ready for transplanting.
This will be one of the principal crops
in this section. Large quantities of
cantaloupes, cucumbers and melons
will be also raised. The usual amount
of corn will be planted.

LockMAN HoNoREp.
Former Wallace Man Surprised on
Birthday by Nampa Friends.

Former Wallace Man Surprised on
Birthday by Nampa Friends.
The Nampa Leader Herald has the
following account of how Jacob Lock-
man, for many years a resident of
this city, was honored on his recent
birthday: Sunday. January 23, mark
ed the Gath milestone in the life of
Jacob Lockman, and a number of his
old friends desired to extend to him a
little surprise on the occasion, but it
was found that several who would like
to participate would be out of town
on that date or otherwise engaged
In view of this situation they post
poned the affair until Sunday even
ing, January 80 when a dozen or so
went to the Lockman home in a body.
They succeeded in making it an alb
solute surprise to Mr.. Lockman,
though Mrs. Lockman had been ap-
prised of the plan the day before,
when the "eats" for the occasion had
been put in her charge.
when the party went to the Lock
man home they carried flowers for
chain for Mr. Lockman. Soon after
the guests arrived a bounteous sup
per was spread and when the guests
were seated the watch was presented
to Mr.. Lockman by N. Jenness, speak
ing for the assembled friends. He
sketched briefly the part Mr.. Lock
man has played in the development
of Nampa, always ready, as a public
spirited citizen, with his time and
money to aid every worthy cause and
marked by his loyalty to his country
and his friends
Mr.. Lockman accepted the token of
friendship and good will with the
statement that it had come as a COM
plete surprise, and that he appreciat-
ed this remembrance on the part of
his friends more than he could tell.
Following the supper an hour or
so was devoted to stories of the pio-
neer days of Idaho. Mr. Lockman
came to the state in 1878 and several
of the guests had been here from 20
TO 80 years. Their tales of those early
days were intensely interesting to
those who had come at a later date.
"The guests were Tom Babbitt, V.
T. Elmer, Geo. Harvey Moore, w G.
Adams f. II. Dewey, w. C. Dewey,
Geo. Lamson, DR.. o. A Kellogg, Rob
ert A. David. Jr. n. Jenness, c. c. |
Reed and f. S. Hamaker."

IDAHO MINES LEASING.

Enough Ore in Sight to Keep Mill
Running Three Years.
According to the statement of one
who recently visited the operations of
the Idaho Mines Leasing company,
there is enough ore now in sight to
keep the 5O-ton mill running for three
years The ore in question is above
the No. tunnel Of the old Black
Bear now a part of the Frisco group
and owned by the Federal Mining &
Smelling company. The leasing
company has all the ground above

been completed and is expected to be
in operation before the end of the

zinc ore in these old workings which
the leasers are of course not touching
at this time. However, in the slopes
that have been opened above No 2 a
fine body of lead silver ore has been
developed, having very little zinc,

New Plant in Operation in Southern

Excellent results are attending the
Test runs of a zinc oxide process
evolved by NJ. p. Kirk, according to
reports received from the plant, sit
uated at Harbor City, CAL near San
Pedro. The capital for this PROPOSE
ton has been advanced by Mr.. Kirk
and his associate, Mr. Cloonen, and
the firm of Dern & Thomas. Pur-
chase has been made of an anthony
plant, built at Harbor City during the
war at a cost of 5000 900, according to
reports. and experiments have been
carried on for some time
Enclosed with the report was
sample of the product being made
The sample was a good grade of zinc
oxide, which is such an important
constituent in the automobile tire in
dustry, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Although the grade was not quite as
high as that the company desires to
make, it is felt that in the near future
through improvements. a product of
the highest quality will soon be turn
ed out.

GIANT LEDGE.
Fine Body of Milling Ore Reported in
West Drift.

Fine Body of Milling Ore Reported in
West Drift.
According to parties from the
North Side who were in the city this
week. the Giant Ledge Mining COM
pany has developed a fine body of ore
in the drift that has been run north
westerly under the old shaft, REFER
ence to which has heretofore been
made in this paper. According to the
information received. the entire face
of the drift is in milling lead -silver
ore with a good value in gold. It is
further stated that a drill hole five
feet deep into the hanging wall was
still in ore. This gold value was fully
anticipated and was really the main
incentive for running this drift at this
time, the high gold value in the old
shaft indicating that gold would be
found when the ground beneath it
was explored.

BUTTE STATION.
Advantages of Establishing an ENper-

Advantages of Establishing an Exper
mental Station.
Referring to the decision of the bu.
reau of mines to establish an expert
mental station at Butte. DR.. D. A. Ly-
on. director of stations, said upon his
recent visit to the northwest:
There is perhaps no mining camp
I'm the world where as much has been
spent on mechanical appliances as has
been spent in the Butte district Here
thousands of dollars have been spent
on mechanical devices. on safety
methods underground and on the sur
face: some companies are expert
menting on advanced methods of han
ding labor. others on the most i'm
proved fire prevention and control
methods.
"Therefore the establishment of a
station at Butte will permit Of the
bureaus engineers making a careful
study of these and disseminate the
information thus obtained and would
permit Of cooperative work being
carried on with the mining companies
Of Butte as regards ventilation mine
fires. dust. best methods of drilling.
use and handling Of explosives and
other problems.
due to its proximity and contact
with one of the greatest mining camps
n the world, it is believed that |
station established in Butte should /
rive attention to mining rather than
problems Moreover. it 4
s believed that there is no place in
he world where mining problems
ould be studied TO better advantage
han in Butte"

War Department Will Offer Consider
able Amount for Sale.
The war department will soon prob
ably announce disposition of $4,000, e.
600 pounds of brass. for which it re-
ceived so bids early in the week.
Brass is composed of two pounds of
copper and one pound of zinc so that
the metal contents of the above ton
mage would approximate 10000
pounds of zinc and 100000 pounds
of copper.
The big quantities of brass, either
new or Junk. which have been avail
able here and in Europe since the
armstice have been a handicap with
which the copper producers have had
to contend
During the past year over 100000
900 pounds of brass was bought by
American manufacturers abroad and
brought back here to be remelted
Both the war and navy departments
have also from time to time offered
surplus metals and brass on the mar
Aet.
