GREAT MINING ACTIVITY FOR
TAYLOR PARK DISTRICT

Aspen, Colo, Jan. 21-Among the
leading mining districts in the Lead
vile, Aspen, Gunnison ction, is the
Taylor Park District. Prior to 1911,
there were several hundred men en-
ployed in this district and a railroad
was contemplated for the purpose of
handling the vast tonnage of low
grade ore. This railroad project was
abandoned.
Now the Forest Service proposes
building a truck road up Taylor Cam
on This road. when completed, will
give this district downhill pull to
Almont.
At the head of Taylor river, there
are large number of good prospects,
and some well developed properties.
On italian Mountain the leading
property is the Star Group, operated
at one ti:ae oy John Larson. This
property is we'll developed and has
large tonnage. .i
In the southern part of Taylor Park
will be found the Forest Hill group.
Here, too, will be found we'll devel-
oped property that will probably be
worked in the near future. 1t is fully
equipped for the employment Of
about one hundred men. This prop.
erty does its own milling. With an
increased price for lead and zinc and
newer methods for the treatments of
ore, together with lower transporta-
tion cost that the new road will offer,
there is no reason why this property
should not prove to be one of the
leading producers of this district.
The most extensively developed
property of this district is the Enter
prise Group. Several of Aspen's busi-
ness men are interested in this group,
and are now making plans for extern
sive operation to begin next summer.
This property is we'll developed and
shows large tonnage. 1t is we'll
equipped for extensive operation and
has accommodations for about one
hundred men. 1t has its own hydro
electric power plant and its own mill
The new road should enable this prop
erty to ship its medium grade ore at
a profit.
The lowered cost of materials and
equipment together with set price
for our domestic silver should make
this property real producer.
The cold Cup, which has a record
of over S2,000,000 in ore shipments, is
expected to resume shipping, possibly
this winter, but certainly in the
spring. The Blistered Horn Tunnel is
also scheduled for further driving
ahead.
North of lineup, some eight miles,
H. C. Smith of Denver, has been ac-
tive with force of men on Matchiess
mountain. The ore as SO far opened
up would, in normal times. produce a
furore of excitement, as it is identi-
cal with that uncovered over forty
years ago on Friar hill which made
''Leadville" household word, when
even Chicago was hardly heard Of,
and also placed one H. A. Tabor on
the map.
Reports that the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company had disposed of their
copper, or as they were formerly de-
scribed iron properties, a mile north
of lineup, to copper interests, inffu-
entail in C. F. & Il circles, is not al
together credited in conservative
quarters as the sale of property of
the company is said to be prohibited.
However, it goes without saying that
with the return to normalcy, these So
called "iron" properties will be leased
and worked, if not purchased outright
by the interests aforesaid.-Daily

Sibilant Criticism

Journeying along the border a few
weeks ago, Tom Mix, motion picture
actor, drove his automobile across the
river into Juarez for glass of beer,
parked it in space where
parking was prohibited, and walked
off. He had made about two blocks
when he was clapped on the back by
a breathless Mexican policeman.
"You air under arrest for putting
re automobile where he do not belong.
Come with me. Why you not stop
when l call you?" painted the gen.
darme.
"You never called me-" said Mix.
'Si, senior, call you twenty times,
| hees-like dees: Sssssssss! Eat is re
way w call re attention of a hombre
in Mexico"
"Well,' said Mix, "all I've got tc
say is that's rotten way to call ar

CULLINC LAYERS
Hogan System Has Been in
Use 20 Years

The Hogan system of culling hens
for egg production by their bony
conformation and physical character
istics has been in use for about ~
wears and has constantly gained
ground. In the northwest and on the
west coast they use the adjective
'hoganized," and every one knows
what "hoganizd" hens means. In
Idaho the agricultural extension bur-
eau keeps a man travelling constantly
for the purpose of culling hens by the
Hogan system, and as consequence
Idaho hens are becoming more pro-
ductive every year. Numerous tests
have shown that any one at all expert
in the use of the system can select the
best LAYERS in a flock of hens with al
most absolute certainty. One must
have considerable practice in using
the system and must have had an op-
porunity of observing the results
from culling by this system before he
can qualify as an expert, as under
certain conditions the beginner is

none of them can see any posslblilty
of a reduction in the prices Of articles
he deals in. In my opinion, the cost
of building material and construction
work is as low now as it will be for a
good many years to come. wage
scales in the building trades have
been fixed for the year, and there IS
no chance of a reduction in produc-
ton costs so far as the labor item is
concerned. Materials may f1uctuate
little, one way or another, depending
on supply and demand, as they have
in years gone by, but, taking the mat
ters as whole, believe construction
costs are about 20 per cent, on the
average, lower than peak figures, and
nv advice to those who intend build
ing is do it now.'
"Another factor working to the ad-
vantage of those who build now is the
greater efficiency of labor. One can
now insist on a fair rate of produc-
tion by his labor, because there are
not jobs enough to go around, and
the inefficient workman knows that
there are anywhere from two to hall
dozen waiting for chance to take
his job if he falls down or lays down
on it.
"In this respect, conditions are
vastly different from the war perioc
and the two years Immediately fol

to discharge a loafer, because if hi
did every man on the job would quit

Still Up in the Air
on Building Figures
Construction Costs Far From
Stable and Material Men
Boosting Prices

While the outlook among architects
and builders of this vicinity for busl-
ness this year is much brighter than
at this time last year, the situation, in
the opinion of a great many OF them,
still leaves much to be desired. The
high cost of construction snake, while
it NAV have been scotched to certain
degree, has by no means been killed,
they declare, and while there is more
than twice as much work in prospect
than a year ago, not a few builders
are suffering from too much idle time
on their hands.
The builders, some of them at least,
declare that too much of their time
is wasted in "taking off" plans for
work that does not go ahead, and are
convinced that they are being made a
"good thing" of by owners who have
no very definite idea of building, but
who want to find out what it would
cost to build, and after they get esti-
mates from half-dozen or more con-
tractors, decide that construction
costs are still too high, and that they
will postpone operations for while.
Every one of these estimates has lost
the contractor money and time, for
none of which are they ever reim-
bursed directly.
Some who have kept an accurate
record of their business assert that
the average is one job landed III
every 80 sets of plans estimated on
and this job must pay the overhead
expense of the 20 estimated on anc
lost. This, it is contended, is not fail
either to the builder or the owner, a:

CARE OF POULTRY
All Birds Should Be Locked
Out in Daytime, Expert
Saws

The following instructions have
lust been issued by the New Jersey
agricultural experiment station.
All the birds should be locked out
of the house for the day. Remove all
litter from the nests and floor. Sweep
the walls, ceilings and floor, remove
all cobwebs and accumulations OF
dirt. Remove all the food, grit and
shell hoppers and other movable tlx-
lures. Thoroughly clean, wash ana
disinfect these fixtures. The nests
NAV be placed in the yard so that the
hens can use them during the day.
Cloth curtains should be lowered
and thoroughly brushed. When they
are raised dust accumulates quickly
upon them. This dust not only estab-
fishes a good breeding place for dis
ease germs and vermin, but fills the
opening between the, threads, thus
destroying ventilation when the cur
tains are closed.
Whitewash, applied with a force
pump, may be used for disinfecting
purposes. A good whitewash can be
made by mixing 5 quarts cream OF
lime (fresh stone lime Stacked with
hot water and covered while slack
ing), pint any good coal-tar din
upon the market, and quart kero-
sene, with an equal volume of water.
Be sure that the whitewash is forced
into all the cracks and crevices Of the
house, as it is in the out-of way places
that filth accumulates and vermin
and disease germs breed. Avoid get
ting any. of the whitewash upon the
muslin curtains, as it will clog up the
openings. If force pump is not
available, an old broom can be used
Whitewashing should be done prefer.
ably in the morning so that it may
dry before the birds are again allow
ed in the house.
After the whitewashing is complet
, ed it may be good idea to wash thu
glass windows inside and out. Thi
removes much dust and adds a grea
deal to the appearance of the house
The movable fixtures which hav
= been cleaned and dried may then b
e returned to the house and the nest
bedded with clean, dry straw or WOO
D shavings. The floor to a depth of ST
n or eight inches should be covered wit
fresh straw or other litter.

likely to reject some hens that would
make good layers, but even a begin
ner will rarely make the mistake of
selecting a poor layer as a good one.
Before a pullet has begun to lay con-
formation does not always indicate
the true value of the bird as layer
Here is where the expert has the ad-
vantage Of the beginner, because he
can determine quite accurately what
may be expected from any such
