USE MORE SILVER.
Bureau of Mines to Investigate and
Make Report

WAKE nSpoIAs
Secretary of the Interior Worl,
has asked the Bureau of Mines to
make a preliminary survey of possible
new uses for silver in commerce and
industry If the preliminary study
looks sufficiently promising. it was
stated, definite research may be I'M
dertaken.
With the decrease in the demand
for silver for monetary purposes fol
lowing the expiration of the Pittman
Act silver producers are being faced
with the necessity of finding new mar
Sets for their metal Secretary Work
has pointed out. and this new study
has been ordered for the particular
purpose of determining where the use
of silver might be introduced into
hitherto unsupported fields 1t is eX-
pected that the Bureau of Mines will
submit preliminary report to Secre-
tary Work within a few days
In connection with the present in
terest in the future of silver il has
occurred to me that a careful study
might show important fields for in
creased use of the metal in commerce
and industry" Secretary Work wrote
in his letter to the bureau if mines
If a sufficient use to offset the de-
crease in its demand for monetary
purposes can be found it will be of
large national Importance. May it
not be substituted to advantage for
other metals or materials i'm certain
uses? What other possibilities eN-
list? The United States has long been
the premier producer of silver and
if there are any such undeveloped
fields for its utilization it would seem
proper that this country take the load
in discovering and exploiting them.
please have some member of the
bureau staff make a preliminary sur
vey of the field and report to me
whether it looks sufficiently promis-
ing to warrant definite research being
undertaken

HANDLE BIG BOULOERS
IN PLACER OPERATIONS
INVENTION OF MONTANA MAN
REDUCES COST IN HANDL-
ING GRAVEL.
Aiissouiian. Missoula. Mont.


A drag, the invention of }. Nj. Flug-
stad. former Hamilton jeweler, may
be the means of revolutionizing placer
mining. The drag which was put
into use this year as an experiment
at the Hughes creek placer diggings,
40 miles south of Darby has given
good results. it is said.
Mr. Flugstad, who was in the city
said the drag was a simple affair,
operated by water wheel and the
dredge which has graphing teeth re-
moves the heavy boulders from the
creek bed while the excavations are
being made to bedrock for gold.
1t is said the work of removing the
heavy rock from the creek bed is
costly and often is so expensive that
the overhead expenditures are more
than the value of the gold washed
out With the use of the dredge, Mr.
Flugstad explained, boulders from six
inches in size to those weighing $500
pounds and more are hauled from the
creek bed with the power furnished
bv the water wheel and limits the
actual hand work in removing the
eight or nine feet of gravel between
the creek bottom and bedrock
Inventor Tells Of Success.
Mr.. Flugstad said that three men
can handle the dredge, which viii do
the work on placer Of Is of 20 men.
This year it was used in doing the
Improvement work at the Hughes
creek diggings and in taking the
heavy boulders ont OF the placer
grounds, but the dredge for next year
win be more powerful and the stream
of water operating the water wheel
viii be larger. In this manner it is
expected that even more viii be ac-
complished than was done this sea-
son. The water wheel is 10O-horse-
power
Mr.. Flugstad said the work this
season was confined to the dragging
and dredging operations and to pros
pecting, but next year the placers will
be worked
"The work at the diggins will be
completed in a few days for this sea-
son and the men are now preparing
for next years work." Mr. Flugstad
said
Interest in Occur d'Alenes.
placer mining men of western
Montana are interested in the drag
invention and its actual operation in
the upper Bitter Root valley for it
is said there are numerous placer
properties which are not worked now
on account of the cost of dredging.
In the Occur d'Alene district it Is
understood there are many places
where there is good pay dirt. but the
work of getting down to bedrock has
been so expensive that it has not been
profitable to the operators. IT is I'M
derstood that some of them are con-
templating using methods similar to
those on the Hughes creek placers in
development work.

RECORD IN CROPS
Western Canada Farmers As
sured of BountifuI Yields.
Conditions Reported From Al Parts
Of the Provinces Satisfactory In the
Highest Deoree-Pass Expectations


From as early as April IT. when
seeding became general throughout the
Western Canadian Provinces, was
there anything but optimism In the
feelings of the farmers Of that coun-
try. An uninterrupted chain of favor
able conditions have bound the early
seeding data with the conditions Of
the crop today. There were no set
backs. There may have been a hail
storm or two with some Ill effects
through portions of the country, but
the track they took was so small
that the percentage Of loss was al
most imperceptible compared with the
whole. Rains fell just when needed,
the sun shone as If regulated by the
farmer himself, the ground, generally,
was in perfect condition and fully re-
sponsive. 1t is now a question of rival
ry between districts and provinces
which will produce the greatest re-
suits in crop yields and averages. Out
In Alberta, whether 1t be In the north
or in the south, that which gave as
surance, in well-prepared seed bed,
Of an excellent crop is passing expec-
.ation, and experts say there will be
produced crop away greater than
ever before In the history of the prov
ince, and Alberta has had some big
yields. Then. in Saskatchewan there
exist the same conditions. The ex.
treme north and extreme south will
vie with the east and west In the
story at harvest and threshing time.
Manitoba, while not boastful, COM
placently watches fields of wheat,
oats, rye and barley that promise to
set new record for that province.
The fact Is apparent that Western
Canada will have crop yield In all
grains away ahead Of any year in the
history Of the country. This will be
pleasing news to the thousands In the
United States, who have fElends and
relatives farming In that Country. It
should not be forgotten that these
crops will be raised on land that in
many cases cost less than $40 an acre
and some Of 1t was procured by mere
ly homesteading 1t is possible today
to secure improved farms at very low
figures. as well as raw or virgin
prairie. Any Canadian government
agent will gladly give information as
to the condition Of the crops, and
dates when special rates may be had
by those who wish to look over what
is probably one of the greatest grain
fields on the continent.-Advertise-

Among the iOI commodities included

Crop outlook Good All over Colorado

Denver.-The outlook for all crops
In general in Colorado is above aver
age, and If the present favorable con-
dltions continue, good yields may be
expected, according to reports of the
United States Division of Crop and
Live Stock Estimates. Moisture cOn-
ditions are favorable, and although
many crops were late : In starting,
rapid growth is now being made. A
few complaints of labor shortage are
received.
Winter wheat is filling well, and
harvesting is commencing in some
sections. Although the crop has
steadily improved, due to the thin
stands, the yields will generally be
light. few spring grains are now
making good growth and there is
promising outlook for good yield.
The corn area shows an increase,
and continued warm weather and fa-
vorable moisture conditions are re-
sulting in rapid development. The
condition Of grain sOrghums Is gener-
ally good.
Apples are generally above average,
although some reports of hail damage
and heavy June drop are received.
Pears and peaches are also above nv.
erage. The cherry crop is generally
good with few poor reports noted.
All truck crops are in favorable
condition, with some hail damage re-
ported. Cantaloupes are developing
fast; lettuce Is generally good onions
are above the average and cabbage is
reported fair to good. Beans are gen.
orally good with few poor stards
reported.
Ranges and pastures are generally
the best in years. AL classes of live
stock are in good condition with very
little disease reported. The first al
falfa crop was thin in some sections,
and rain caused much damage during
the harvest. The second crop Is max
ing u rapid growth and other hay
crops are promising,
Potatoes are reported as being
above the average with little COM

outlook for sugar beets Is considered
