way siding had 10 be laid. orehins
erected and a considerable body of
barren iron ore had to be driven
through before shipments could
start, but when they did start they
have maintained a rate of fifty tonc
day.
The shipped ore has averaged LIZ
per cent higher than the samples
that were previously taken and by
the use of a small sorting plant the
assay content has been raised to :
per cent
January shipments on the per
cent basis were estimated to yield
$40 900, but when the returns came
in they proved to amount TO s10,-
$3.50. It is estimated that the
February returns will be as good and
that the March returns will be of
greater money value. due to an in
creased tonnage and higher prices
for copper.
NJ. Guyer predicts that the aver
age value can be maintained at l. .

sideration the rising price of copper

For a mine that is only in the
making To ne able TO show a prof
from the ore that is extracted is un.
usual as every mining man knows,
for one that Is not classified

that is being made by the Boston.
Ely under the management of s.
Herbert Williams, with Raymond
Guyer of Spokane as consulting en-
gineer.
In 1922 the company produced
50i,176 pounds of copper The av.
erage return from the ore shipped
and treated at the Nevada Consoli
dated Copper Company's McGill
smelter was 5.45 per cent. or 100
pounds of copper to the ton. Owing
to the low price of the metal no cop
per was marketed until September,
and by pursuing this plan the aver
age price received was 13 "a to

These facts are shown in the an.

As Mr.. Moorman indicates, rabies
appears to not be as fatal to coy
otes as 1t was a few years go when
the disease first appeared in Nevada
about eight years ago. Al that
time their carcasses were found by
hundreds. But now the disease is
as prevalent as ever and the bite
carries death to all other kinds of
animals. but it is rare indeed that
a dead coyote is found.
Mr.. Moorman' sarcasm in refer.
ring to government trapping Is a
good syllabus of what the majority
of ranchers and stockmen are say
ing. Government trapping every
where is a joke. His summing up
that his months kill is a good av-
erage anyway is not overdrawn but
a fact proved by any monthly gov
ernment trapping report.
Jake's valley, where the Moor
man ranch is situated, long has
been famous for its humorous coy
otes, yet in six years only one gov
ernment trapper has been there.

AS you have most always pub.

paper has reported the rabies cpl
= demic in different parts OF the
county I am sending you this addi-
tional information.
AS for the coyote / think all or
most of them are affected with the
disease or show symptoms in some
way. All l see are that way. 1t
does not seem to kill them off, or
II 1t does 1t takes a long time.
We have killed three here since
February IL. One bit one or two
dogs and how much stock l cannot
tell. Four cows have had the dis.
ease since then.
The second one got in the corral
with the cows. I saw marks on six
of them. The coyote was killed
among them.
The third one came the second
time. or else Ii was a fourth one,
We did not get him the first time
but did the last.
People should keep an eye on any
coyote or dog acting strangely. for
the disease is in all parts. There
have been killed or seen dead over
our way twenty-five cattle and one
saddle horse, all from rabies.
We feel pretty kindly to govern
ment trapping-there was one in
this valley in six years. The valley
is most always full Of coyotes that
follow the sheep, knowing that they
are safe here on the game preserve.

of hysteria, as SOME people be-
lieve. But it does act as a sharp
warning to profteering concerns
to stop, look, and listen.

their clothes twice as long as they
do If the manufacturers and
wholesalers of clothing continue
charging cxorbitant prices, they

Az ids, North Carolina, reduced
the percentage of their population
affected by malaria from 49.S to
less than one-tenth of one per
cent by getting rid of mosquitoes.
Samuel +. Patterson, head Of
the Rosemary and Roanoke cot
lon mills, largest producers Of
table damask in the world, found
in 1912 that half the people i'll his
community were infected with
malarial germs. After arranging
for the mills to build a $4,000
hospital, he placed DR.. T. w. NJ.
Long in charge and started him on
his campaign against malaria and
typhoid.
Four large swamps supplied
most of the mosquitoes. The
parts of them which could be
drained without prohibitive eX-
pense were drained. Three Public
Health Service experts from the
Canal Zone assisted. Cans con-
tanning crude oil, so arranged that
the oil spilled only a drop at a
time, were placed around the I'M
drained pools. The film of oil
waich the cans kept on the water
prevented the young mosquitoes,
wien in amphibian form just after
atching, from getting to the sur
