Hundred Ton Quartz
 Mill At Mayo Mines

DAWSON, Dec. 26.-A one hun dred ton capacity quartz mill for the farthest-north quartz mine in North America will start operations in two weeks on Keno Hill, on the property of the Treadwell Yukon Company, at Mayo it was announced by officials yesterday.
 Sufficient ore has already been mined to keep the mill working at capacity.
 The Treadwell Yukon company's big caterpillars hauled the machinery over from Whitehorse last week. This company is now employing about ninety men, and all it's work is pro- gressing nicely.
 The first ore landed in Mayo this winter by the big "cats" was that be- longing to J. E. Pickering and Frank Britton, laymen on the Keno Hill Limited's property on to pof Keno Hill. They are doing splendidly, get ting ou tmuch high-grade ore. They are increasing their force.
 Some high-grade ore was landed from the Settlemier & Birmingham company's property on Galena Hill. This was the first ore ever shipped from that hill. This property and Galena Hill generally hold great promise for the future. There are other miners developing and taking out ore on this hill. The laymen on the Settlemier property are prepar- ing to take out considerable ore this winter, and so are many others in diff reTent Localities.
 Hector Morrison is taking out con- siderable high-grade shipping ore on Keno Hill. There are more indi- yidual operators than ever before in the camp.

Ninety w. 5. (. Hens Lay
 2O,993 Eggs This Year

PULLMAN, Dec. 26.-Single comb White Leghorn hens are making high laying records at the State College of Washington poultry ranges. Statis- tics compiled for the past year show an average of 229 eggs apiece for the twelve months for each of the 165 birds under test.
 /, The seventy birds in the breeding house laid total of 16,S13 eggs, which is an average of 240 eggs apiece for the twelve months. The 95 birds in the straw loft poultry house laids a total of 2O,993 eggs or an average per bird of 221 eggs. <
 Some tests with Barred Rocks are under way and will be ready for sta- tistical compilation in month or two more
 'To determine any loafing periods the birds may have during the winter a monthly record should be kept of the condition of each bird on the first or last of each month.
 | "The record sheet should have the band number of each bird in the pen, 1, the measurement of the capacity of the abdomen, the condition of the bird, and whether it is producing or loafing. Birds may be checked up in a very short space of time once a month in this way and most accu- rate record of each bird obtained for the year by summarizing these re- cords.
 'The breeders should be selected in the fall on the basis of vigor, in- tensity of production, lack of broody periods, persistency in production as indicated by the record sheet, the condition and weight of the bird. The birds chosen should be mated with males from high producers bought of breeders of trapnest stock
 Tn this way all the poor producing, undesirable females are eliminated, and when the birds chosen are mated with males of known pedigree, bred for high egg production, should pro- duce bullets with a high flock aver age"

SECRETS OF OCEAN
MUD TO Be HUNTED
Exploration by U. S. Expected
to Aid in Solving Many
Mysteries.

The Navy, through its projected ex-
petition to explore ocean depths and
their makeup and life, looks forward
to aiding in solving some Of the prob
lens of today and yesterday.
One of these grows out of the fact
that every year the Mississippi River
dumps into the Gulf of Mexico a vast
yet fully assessed. Speaking before
the Conference on Oceanography,
which planned the expedition, Austin
II. Clark, curator of the division OF
echinoderms, United States National
Museum. pointed out that this dump
ing Of mud caused "a certain amount
OF instability in the Gulf, but added
that the course of the mud has not
been traced, in detail, though pre-
sumably 1t goes to the right about
the Mexican Gulf.
LAS to the relation which this Mis-
slssippf mud derived from the whole
area of the Mississippi Valley, large
area, of course, and also from the
mountains on each side, but dumped
upon a relatively small area of sea
bottom, bears to the volcanic and
seismic activities Of the region from
Mexico to Costa Rica, we know moth
ing" he said.
Dumping Of Mud.
Calling attention to the Orinoco
and Amazon rivers on the south
dumping. quantities of mud to the
south and east of the Lesser Antilles,
Mr.. Clark asked:
Has that anything TO do with the
seismic and volcanic activities In the
Lesser Antilles from ST.. Vincent to
St. kitts?"
The outpouring of volcanic dust
from volcanoes in that region, he
added, has settled to the bottom Of
the Caribbean.
The attention of the conference was
directed also to current elements In
the Gulf of Mexico-Caribbean area,
where it is proposed to begin the ma
val program of sea exploration.
What the division of the Gulf
Stream in the area. of the Bahamas
will mean in determining the physical
elements in the region in question Is
the thing that this exploration should
settle" DR.. Paul Bartsch, curator Of
the Division of Mollusks. United
states National Museum, told the con-
ference. We know as yet very little
as to what the proper fauna1 ele-
ments of the Gulf. the Caribbean and
the outer Bahama shelf may be and
what relationship they may bear one
to another"
A study of the sea bottom between
northern Siberia and Alaska might
uncover interesting data concerning
the supposed land bridge that long
ago linked two continents, DR.. f. W.
Nelson, chief of the Bureau of Biolog-
ical Survey, informed the conference.
ut is believed that north Of Boring
Sea q great land bridge once connect
