STANDARD BIOLOGISTS
AMAZING INSPECTION
OF HOLBROOK FIELD

F. S. Wright and K. H. Crandall,
geologists for the Standard Oil COM
pany of California, are in Holbrook,
making an examination Of the entire
field. They arrived couple of days
ago, and yesterday visited at the
Adamana, Great Basin, Hopi and
Holbrook oil wells They are to make
an extended investigation of the Hol-
brook oil field and expect to be here
for at least couple of weeks.
The party has been to Canyon
Creek, in this county, almost 20
miles south from Holbrook, after
coming from the San Juan field.
They are correlating the Holbrook
field and the others northeast into
New Mexico and north into southern
Utah. Canyon Greek is where Geo.
logist Dorsey Hager encounted a
quantity of organic shale during the
examination of the fields-Holbrook

BOULDER DAM CAMERON
CASES IN NEVADA

following clipping from the Sacra-
mento Bee:

mary to opening of the suits to dis.
possess Ralph Cameron, Jr., son OF
Governor Cameron of Arizona, and
associates from mineral claims on
both sides of the Colorado River,
United States Attorney Harry B..
Atkinson is conferring with officials
at San Francisco.
The government charges Cameron
and associates located practically all
the lands between Boulder and Black
Canyons, and used fraudulent means
to secure the ground.
The government contends the
lands are not valuable for mining,
and were located to give certain IN
terests valuable benefits arising
from building of the proposed Boul-
der Canyon dam. The suit will be
tried soon in the federal court at

MANUFACTURERS EXHIBIT
new STATE FAIR FEATURE

Another statewide industrial and
manufacturing exhibit is to be fea-
ture Of the Arizona state fair No
vember 8 to 13.
The exhibit will be in effect a re-
petition of the industrial exhibits
which have been made at the fair
during the past four years, and like
them will be directed by the Arizona
Industrial congress, state develop
ment body representing all interests
and industries and cooperating with
all other civic and commercial organ
izations.
The. manufacturing department, as
the official title goes, will occupy the
first building on the right inside the
main entrance to the fair grounds
here, and besides a number of inside
booths will include a considerable
area of outside space surrounding the
building. 1t is probable, however,
that it will be found 100 small again
as last year several exhibitors who
put off their applications too long
could not be accommodated.
The: industrial exhibit is designed
especially to show as far as possible
the industrial development of the
state, and Arizona manufacturers
are especially invited to make dis.
plays. Statewide distributors and
jobberg are also included, to complete
the industrial circle. Letters sent
out to- both manufacturers and job
bers urge that they apply for space
at once, as booths will be allotted as
applications are received, and late
comers may encounter disappoint-
ment.

STANDARD LUMBER
GETS MORE MATERIAL
FOR NEW MILL

The Standard Lumber company re-
ceived from Louisiana carload Of
additional machinery for the new
mill they are erecting in place of the
one destroyed by fire some months
ago. They also received Wednesday
at the Holbrook depot carload of
equipment for the disposal of waste
by burning. These were Immediate
ly taken out to the mill.
From the amount of machinery re-
ceived at the Holbrook depot by the
company, it is evident that John
Zalaha, the president and manager
of the company, intends to have one
of the best lumber mills in this part
of the country, which indicates that
Mr.. Zalaha is thoroughly familiar
with all the phases of the lumber
business .--Holbrook Tribune.

ASSESSMENT WORK
ON AMALGAMATED

Herb Babbitt and Charles ProchY
now of Flagstaff, passed through
Kingman a few days ago on their
way to the Oatman Amalgamated
mines, west of Gold Road where they
expect to put men to work doing. the
annual assessment work. Mr.. Proch-
now will remain at the mine for a
short time, while Mr.. Babbitt returns
home.
There is a rumor afloat that the
AmaIgamated has been financed IN
the east and that within a short time
operations will be started on the
property. The Amalgamated has been
developed to the 800 level, and some
excellent ore has been found at vari-
Gus places, but the effort to bring in
a big ore body has not met with the
desired success. The impression pre-
walls among the miners who have
worked in the property that with bet
ter engineering ability the mines
should be brought into production.
The property is situated west Of
Gold Road and apparently at con-
tact with the Gold Road and Oatman
vein system Kingman Miner.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1926-06-11

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In the latter part of June, when
less bedding is required, most house
keepers begin to think about washing
the blankets and putting the heavier
ones away for next winter. You will
want to store these blankets In fresh
spotless condition, not only because 1t
makes it so much easier and pleasant
er in the fall when they are again put
into use, but because experience has
shown that moths do not attack clean
wooden articles as readily as those
that are soiled. So the chances of
complete protection from moths are
better If you wash the blankets now.
Choose bright, moderately warm,
breezy day each time you plan to
wash blankets-for in a large house
hold they will most likely be done a
few at time and you will then be
sure that they will dry quickly and
evenly. The warmth Of the blanket
depends very largely upon the amount
of nap. When the blankets are thor
oughly dry you can raise the nap by
brushing them well with clean stiff
whisk broom. Hand cards, such as are
used for combing wool, are even bet
ter for the purpose. There is some
loss of wool i'm mapping blanket, but
the result is a fuffier, consequently
warmer, blanket.
Store in Cedar Chest.
After they have been washed, the
best place to store heavy winter
blankets over the summer Is In
cedar chest. Any tight box or con-
tainer, however, may be used IL you
scatter moth balls or naphthalene
fakes through the folds, or the blan-
kets may be securely wrapped In

lent Describe the contents of each

venience next season
OF all the textile fibers, wool per-
haps requires the greatest care in
washing, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. If moist
wool is rubbed, if it is exposed to in
tense heat or cold or rapid change of
temperature, or if strong alkalis are
put into the wash or rinse water, the
wool fibers are likely to become hard
and shrunken, and white ones will be
yellowed. Blankets therefore which
are warmest when fluffy need careful
handling. Wash them in lukewarm
suds made of neutral soap and rinse
them in lukewarm water. Soft water
is, of course, best, but do not use
water that has been softened with
large quantities of strong washing
powders. If anything at all besides
the soap is put into the water, use
borax or ammonia. Also do not rub
soap right on the blankets, but dis
solve it in the water and put the
blankets into large quantity of this
lukewarm suds. Wooden materials alb
sorb a great deal of water so you will
need more suds than for cotton, linen,
or other fabrics.
To Dry Blanket.
To dry the blanket, hang it over
line with from a fourth to half on
one side. Squeeze the excess water
out Of the ends occasionally. AS blan-
kets are generally washed in warm
weather, the precaution about never
allowing woolens to freeze is unneces-
sary, but If possible, hang the blankets
where there is a current of warm air
to help them dry evenly and quickly.

Distinguish Hard Wheat
From, Soft BY Practice

The housekeeper can distinguish
hard-wheat from soft-wheat -four with
little practice. Flours from soft
wheats have velvety texture some
what like cornstarch Those from
hard wheat are usually more gritty.
Experts detect this difference by rub
bling a pinch Of flour lightly between
the thumb and the third finger.
Squeeze a handful of -four tightly,
then open the hand. If the flour re-
mains in a mold and shows the i'm
preston of the fingers it is probably
a -four from soft wheat. Hard-wheat
flour acts more like powder and the
mold breaks up readily. A quart of
hard-wheat -four that has been sifted
once, dipped lightly into the measure,
and then leveled off weighs about Is
or II ounces, or even more. A quart
of soft-wheat flour sifted and meas
ured in the same way weighs only
about IA or 10 ounces.

an abridged dictionary. Under each
letter of the alphabet page or more
of words was selected at random and
counted. He kept a record of print
tive and derivative words. That is,
among the former was put 'meas-
ure"; among the latter measurable
"measureableness," measured, ""meas-
urer," and "unmeasured." Compound
words whose meanings were clearly
indicated by their component were
omitted; as "clock-work," draft
horse" "hard-earned"
Counting this way, he found an
average of 20 primitive words and
35 derivative words on each page.
This would make, there being 814
pages Of vocabulary in this dictionary,
total of 1920 of the former and
2S,4O0 Of the latter, or $4,000 in ALL

Of the former, and more than 1000 Of
the latter. And, lastly, he made a
count Of very common words, such
as even poorly educated person
could hardly escape knowing, and
they were found to number $500
primitive and 5000 derivative.

"In its first year, the child acquired
vocabulary of from 10 to 20
words. During its second year this
total was Increased to 300 or 400
words, depending entirely upon en-
vironment. Before the close Of the
third year, the larger of these totals
was more than doubled, so that the
vocabulary at command aggregated
from 600 to 1000 words.

American People Eating
More of Milk Chocolate

Consumption Of milk chocolate has
increased tremendously in the United
States during the past five years, ac-
cording to Department of Agriculture
figures.
More than 29O,OOO,0O0 pounds of
whole milk were used in manufactur-
ing this product last year compared
with 100000 pounds in 1921. The
quantity used in 1924 was 194,O0O,-
600 pounds.
Peak consumption of milk chocolate
was reached during the war, when
hundreds of millions of pounds an
nually were shipped abroad to sol
diers Of the allied forces. There was
a sharp decline following the war,
but consumption since then has in
increased to the figure shown for
1925.
