TYPHOID IN POULTRY

There is a serious epidemic of ty-
phoid among poultry docks in New
Castle county, according to the exper-
iment station. The disease effects both
the adult and the young birds. Many
flocks have practically been wiped out
by this disease during the last two
months. The Department of Bacteriol-
ogy and Hygiene of the University has
made an antitoxin which, although, is
in the experimental stage they feel
will control the disease. County Agent
R. o. Bausman has held poultry vac
cination demonstrations on several

MINING LAW REVISION.
Hearing Deferred Until Sometime in
February or March.

1t is probable the house committee
of mines and mining will not be able
to take up for hearing the proposed
mine revision bill until late in Febru-
airy or early March. The committee
has been waiting on Secretary of In
terror FAN for his views on the bill
and consideration of the government
fuel yard bill also has tended TO delay
the hearings It was stated at the
committee meeting on February 4 that
the hearings would not be had until
after the coal bill is disposed of, hear
ings on the latter being assigned for
February Is, with a possibility that
they viii be extended owing to the
opposition of coal interests to the gov
eminent continuing in the fuel bust

the zinc concentrate This residue is
then shipped to the lead smelter,
where it joins the lead concentrate
from the concentration mill.
ITO recover the zinc from its acid
solution. it is subjected to a purifica-
ton process which removes small
quantities of copper, cobalt and cad
mium, after which it is caused to cir
culate in electrolytic tanks in which
are placed lead anodes and aluminium
catholics. An electric current passed
through the solution causes zinc metal
to be deposited on the aluminium cath
odes. These latter are removed at
regular intervals and the zinc sheets
readily detached, after which the
aluminium cathode is replaced for an
other period of electrolysis. The an
odes and catholics are uninjured by
the pulphuric acid.
Advantage Over Retort.
THE electro metallurgy of zinc can
not only reduce high grade concen-
trates. but impure 1eady' zinc con-
'centrates as well. the latter being an
economic impossibility for the retort
process. Furthermore, from this low
grade concentrate there is produced a
pure zinc metal of premium grade and
a residue sufficiently low in zinc for
smelling in the lead blast furnace for
the recovery of the lead and silver"

ANOTHER RICH STRIKE

TWO FEET HIGH GRADE ORE ON
LONEY LEASE-SHIPMENTS
FROM KRON JOHNSTON.

The Western Union continues to oc-
cupy the center of the local mining
stage, and the future of the property
as an important mineral producer
seems assured. The strike made on
the Kron- j ohnson lease some two
weeks ago appears to grow bigger and
better as its development progresses,
and a crosscut 100 feet west of the
strike is expected to find the ore shoot
almost any day. In the meantime
Kron and Johnson are rapidly mining
the ore where the strike was made
which is reported 10 feet wide all

the fifth car for shipment to the Bun

This ground which is now about to
be made productive was located by
Peter Sherlock about 40 years ago. and
the existence of placer gold in that sec

City Moose City and Cedar creek were
at the height of their production It
was passed up at that time because
the gold could not be prOfitably re-
covered with means available at that
time. Mr.. SherlOck's plan was to open
the ground by a bedrock flume. and
through his individual efforts he did
construct a flume a mile in length, but
did not reach bedrock. AS the years
passed the property was examined by

For federal tax purposes all divi-

The statute provides that any claim
