4 One of the most successful hunters
and trappers in the employ of the L.
S. Biological Survey in Eastern Ore
gOn is Albert Peterson of Ukiah. AS
~ boy and later as a young man he has
hunted continuously since he was
seven years old, and in addition to the
skill that was his fro mcXperience, he
has gained much information in his
studies of the subject of trapping and
EhuntinE. He was under the direction
- of f. r. Averll for a time in the pre-
datory animal work and has establish
ed an excellent record during his per-
iod of service.
~
Va Mr., Petersons views of the subject
-wof how to work most effectively in eX-
terminating predatory animals, which
every year exact a heavy toll from the
livestock men, Is given in the follow
ding thesis. Mr. Peterson is president
of the Camas Prairie Cowboys con-
lNention, Il big old west show held
s%every year at Ukiah, July 4. The
'Arthcss follows: ''
SO Ny idea. Of predatory animal con-
ygtrol is as follows:
n First more good competent, indus
tltous predatory animal inspectors
seem to be needed After securing Il
-scompetent inspector next comes Il
good hunter Qualified in all WAYS
THe must have AS his qualifications Il
asG@ood moral charactcr, Il thorough un-
Understanding of hunting and trapping
sand II favorable social standing.
X hunter must be Industrious and cX-
I Experienced in his line Of work He
r. Amust have n fair knowledge of the
%"country in which he Is to work and
should be enlisted in the service be-
D.twoen the ages Of IS and 25 years.
The animals against which / think
the work should be directed and
which I consider true predatory are
coyotes wolves, bob cats, Canadian
link and cougar.
,.n While the wolves are rapidly de-
d croasing from the Eastern United
states, as a result of the work of &.
$. hunters, many are yet to be found
' in the western part of the country.
These animals prey mostly upon cat
- tic, colts, and deer. They kin by run
ming up to the animal ana cutting its
ham strings with its teeth.
. Coyotes are very plentiful through
out the United States both in timhcrcd
, and prairie localities. coyotes are to-
day the most difficult animal to get
under control. They live almost en-
tirelS upon sheep. They separate" one
from the band and cut its throat with
their teeth. Not infrrqnontly they
, slaughter LARGE Plumbers of sheep ana
leave Them on the ground unused.

finding its prey. a bob cat will come
into the door yard on corral at night
and obtain its rations from flock of
sheep or poultry while the cougar
choose the calves or colts. Large
numbers of deer are destroyed annu-
ally by the dexterous spring of the
cougar, as the deer are the main
source of subsistence for the cougar
during the winter months.
The Canadian link is found most
generally upon high mountain ranges,
consequently the game birds afford
their source of food.
| believe that the work of preda-
tory wild animal control comes N
four distinct lines. Therefore, shall
explain my ideas in Nos. / 2, 3, and
4.
Part /. First part. ! consider that
plenty of traps, properly set and COY
cring sufficient mileage the year
around, the best way to conduct pred =
atOry animal control. | think any
hunter who is qualified for the posi-
tion can rum 140 miles of trap line for
at least months of the best part Of
the year, which would be from March
1st. to December 1st. For this 14O
miles of trap line the following equip
ment Is necessary: $50 No. 3 New
House traps set one-half mile apart,
good saddle horses, riding saddle,
. pack outfits. 9 tents will do as cab
ms and sheep camps can be reached

if traps are properly arranged, gun,
dog, cooking utensils axe flash light,
compass, forest map, and II good bed.
Wire for securing traps will b" indis
pcn%ablc in tn" equipment. RatiOns
should be obtained while in town to
last until more supplies are available.
Waterproof clothing will add greatly
to the hunters comfort while out on
the line.
Camps should be arranged so that
they can be reached at night after Il
% mile ride, as this is only "A days
work for man and horse after the
line is once established, provided the
horse is well fed and cared for. Grain
to feed saddle horses should be pro-
Vidcd in the equipment where there is
not ample vegetation for such pur-
poses. Horses should be stationed so
that a change every other day is
available. In stringing traps, they
should be carried by pack horse and
dropped where your set is expected to
be made. If in thick timber, u trial
should be blaZed one or two days be-
for" setting trap line. If on prairie,
stakes should be set if YOU are not
famlialr with the country. This elm
mates the loss of numbers of traps.
think this trap line should be changed
to u different course at least every
two months. as the territory is work
ed out on the line you are running,
No. 3 New House traps are preferable
because they have much more grip
ping power and are far more durable.
If a cow horse, or elk trnmpleS upon
them the weight does not spring them

the animals have or will frequent.
The first thing in making your set is
EXcavate so that when the trap is
placed and covered it will be just even
with the ground. Traps should be
covered we'll but not too deeply, leav-

The location to make trap sets, if
bait is not used, largely depends on
the topography Of the country. All
predatory wild animals follow the low
paths in pursuit of their daily prey

as readily as does the lighter traps.
While the New House is heavier to
hold the game when caught I think
that every five or six days is often
enough for a hunter to make the COM
plctc round of his trap line.

ing as little disturbance as possible
from the surrounding natural order.
While this precaution it not necessary
for all animals, one should insure his
set against the craft of others. The

INTERESTING PROCESS
 FOR COMPLEX ORES

During the past several years the government and research departments of the big mining corporations have been making greater progress in the development of processes for the re- covery of values from complex ores than ever before in the history of metal mining. Private concerns in Colorado has secured process that is said to be far reaching in its op- erations in the handling of ores of zinc, copper, gold and silver, and with the possible exception of lead, will be able to save all values to high per centage. Mohave county has the class of ores in quantity that have been under consideration in the new processes and if they prove to be as successful as the mining world is lead to believe they are, will bring in new fields of mining endeavor that will put thousands of miners and mill men to work. The ranges and foothills con- stituting the Wallapai and Cerbat mountains are gridironed with veins of quartz carrying gold, silver, cop per, lead and zinc, all base, there be- ing only small amount of surface ores carrying chlorides, oxides or car bonates. If the process set out in the article below, taken from the Salt Lake Mining Review, is capable of making the high saving attributed to it, the mining world will be largely indebted to the Bureau of Mines:
 "The application of the chloride volatization process of the recovery of metals in low-grade and complex ores continues to be one of the major prob lems being studied at the Intemoun- tain Experiment Station of the Bureau of Mines at Salt Lake City, Utah. The process consists of crushing to the proper fineness; mixing with chlor- idizing agents, such as sodium and calcium chloride, alone or with other reagents; furnacing at elevated tenn peratures to effect chloridization and volatilization of the metal chlorides formed, and treatment of the vola- tilized chlorides to obtain the valu- able metals in salable form. Electri- cal precipitation is the most feasible way of collecting the volatilized fume,
 The station maintains a semi-com- mercial plant that includes a large rotary kiln of the cement type, a Wedge roasting furnace, and two cleo trical precipitators, each with a cap acity of 1,500 cubic feet of gas per minute. The stations plant also in cludes a small rotary kiln in which preliminary testing is conducted be- fore testing in the large kiln. A new type of furnace, in which the ore charge is introduced at the fire end has been constructed. Results indi- cate that better extractions can be ob- tained than in other types of fur naces tried.
 The treatment of the collected fume continues most important, as the fume from each ore is problem in itself A laboratory-size reverberatory fur. mace for the reduction of lead and cop,

Poor Mans Pride.

So many men to whom the East side missionary had given money had expressed a preference for a certain lodging house that he wondered what constituted its particular attraction.
 Tt makes us feel self-respecting,' said the men, when questioned.
 So far as the mission worker could see, it was the typical cheap lodging house, whose inducements to self-re- speet were not discernlble to the or. dinary eye. So he interviewed the manager.
 That's easy" replied the latter and pointed to a sign above the desk:

per chloride fumes has been construct ed to determine whether continuous feed can be employed without excess sive loss by volatilization. During test runs by the use of this furnace careful control of the temperatures, keeping them below 1,115 deg, elim- mated much of the loss by volatiliza- tion. Investigations were made to de- ermine the feasibility of introducing the metallic chloride fumes through the side of the furnace underneath the surface of the slag, and these experi- ments proved to be successful. The small-scale laboratory experiments in- dicate practically a complete reduc- tion of lead and copper fumes.
 The volatilization process is best suited for low-grade oxidized ores of copper, lead, silver, and zinc, and also for the more complex oxidized ores of these metals. Practically complete extractions of lead and copper have been obtained, and the extraction of silver has been from 50 to 90 per cent. Copper ore carrying copper mainly in the form of chrysocolla is very difficult to volatilize. The vola- tilization process seems to be partic- ularly adapted to separating lead and silver from zinc in oxidized ores.
 This work is being conducted by Thomas Varley, metallurgist, and E. P. Barrett, metallurgical chemist, for the Bureau of Mines, and c. c. Stev- enson and Virgil Miller, of the re- search department of the University of Utah.
 Studies in the chemistry of the vol utilization process, have been made by c. M. Bouton, physical chemist, to de- termine the chemical reactions involv- ed and the vapor pressure of sodium chloride.
 Experimental work, in cooperation with the Ontario Silver Mining Co.,, Park City, Utah, on low-grade com plex ore carrying silver, lead, and zinc, is being continued by the Bureau of Mines. Practically complete ex- traction of the silver, and lead has been obtained. Experimental work was carried on with the Yellow Pine Mining Co.,, at it's 15O-ton plant in Good Springs, Nev., but was discon- tinued on account of a temporary clos ing of the plant. As this vas the first attempt of the bureau to employ the volatilization process on a com mercial scale, valuable data were ob- tained.
 In tests conducted with M. P. Kirk, at a plant in Harbor City, Calif, a high-grade zinc oxide has been made direct from zinc-carbonate ore. Vola- tilization tests of ores carrying less than one-half of 1 per cent lead gave complete volatilization of the lead, The experiments were successful, and MT. Kirk plans to erect larger and more complete plant at or near liar Dor City, where volatilization will be employed on a commercial scale. Many other volatilization experiments have been conducted with various min ing companies on different types of ores, in order to ascertain whether the volatilization process could be used. A bulletin covering the vola- tilization process in detail is in course of publication"

Ingenious Llfe-saving Device.

An ingeniously designed life-saving jacket has just been made, successful ly demonstrated, and approved by the British board of trade. Made of the usual Java kapok, the novelty consists in its normal use as bolster when not required for life saving. Tucked un' der the pillow in a sleeping berth, 1t comes readily to hand and is easily adjusted in case of emergency. It thus saves the cost of an ordinary bolster and also the expense of fitting the usual rack for storing life jack cts. Several of the leading shipping lines are now using this life-saving Jacket, which was invented by an Australian lady.
