Cross breeding will, as a rule, spoil the size of the l& t large fowls, and diminish the laving qualities of those noted for their eggs. Where a man has a “ dunghill” flock of birds, it would help his flock to cross them with a pure bred male, hut I can I not see the advantage of crossing pure bred fowls. I do not tielieve in too close inbreeding. The breeder should go out for new blood often, but not get far enough away to spoil what he is trying to accomplish.

C. Bulletins on Poultry Raising V O L . X X II. 09666287 GENERAL DEVELOPMENTS Following is an extract from a speech delivered by G. G. Warner, a well known and practical mining man of Bohemia, before the recent miners congress held ill this city, his subject being, “ Possibilities of Bohemia.” In 1863 there were 500 people at and near the Music mine. In 1870 the Knott mill was put up and made a ruu, aud again ill 1872, and I believe in 1877. Then this old log mill rotted down aud the elements played upon the ma chinery. In 1893 the Annie corn- iiauy bought it and it served until 1895. In 1894, there was proba bly 300 men in Bohemia. *i'he Music and Annie mines were run ning, the Annie taking out $3,000 to $5,000 per month of gold and silver, when Senator A lger’s part ner examiited it and a sale was pending for $100,000. The part ner died before the sale could be consummated. Later there was a cash offer or $60,000, but certain stockholders declined and through bad management and lack of sci entific knowledge to develop it the miue failed. New owners put $80,000 in the the Annie atfd through inexperience and lack of scientific training failed to develop it. Dissension eatne over other matters and they quit when in ore that run over $50 per ton. One of the partners asked me if I thought there was a mine there. 1 replied, “ You have just got to where the mine starts. This mine is not played out.” The Helena at one time had ore on the wall that glittered like the figures ou this wall paper, and a mill running night and day. They mined all the free ore they could find and rail into base ore, and then consolidated it with the Champion and Music, stocking it for $5,000,- 000. As one o f ths factors in the promotion of this consolidation, they organized a railroad company and built several miles of road that is playing and must play an im portant part in the general transportation facilities of this camp and the timber interests ad jacent to it for all time. They built a wagon road seven miles up the most ceutral canyon iu the camp; drove a tunnel over a thousand feet that will be talked about for one hundred years to come; opened up a a rich shoot of ore that was known by the high graders la other states as well as here. After taking WheelerThompson Company < NO. 37 ABLE ADDRESS ON Dollars Saved Are Dollars Earned .’•.■y r 1 Industries. out several thousands of dollars monthly they changed manage ment and soon lost the ore shoot. Owing to the death of the principal stockholder, those interests were sold recently and under this new management, with an experienced pocket hunter who, as John Hays Hammond says, “ had a nose who could smell it” the lost ore body is re-discovered and is found to be richer than ever. The Auuie mine, in the sulphide zone, produced ores assaying over $1000 per ton, and shipped it running seVMrel hundred per ton. I see no reason why the Champion mine passing into sec ondary ores will not get $1000, assays and tons of $500 ore, and under proper management will develop into a miiie employing several hundred men. and extend down through the lava flows that are probably over 2000 feet deep. The music mine iti 1897 pro duced over $13,000 net, which means $18,000 gross in one mouth, with a 5-stamp mill, out of a shoot that was fourteen feet wide atid a vein forty feet wide. Do you think this mine is played out? Not much. The owners saw it passing into sul phide ores and did not care to tackle it as they were not milling men, therefore sold out. I believe that secondary ores will soon be encountered as rich as the Annie or Champion produced, and that long after I have passed away they will be mining ou this same shoot o f ore 300 feet deep. Bohemia is no quitter until the sed- imeutary formation is reached. Stand on the Knot claim on an ore body, look straight down 2000 feet and you are ou a level with the Grizzly, less than a mile away and they have ou the surface a lense of ore 200 feet long, 10 to 12 feet wide iti places of commercial sulphide ores, and before the huckleberries are ripe again they will be in suK phide ores 200 feet under surface with values as good as many of the big mines. With these facts why stand ye here doubting, for before some of you pass over the divide, Bohemia will have railroads carrying thou sands of ton’s of freight and hun dreds of men working there. Look at the combination, with 100-ouuee silver ore five miles away at the ridge, four feet of sulphide ore that assays better than $40. Jump to the President group, four miles from this and three from the former, and you find a vein 6 to 8 feet wide of sulphide ore that, 1 am informed, assays over $.50 from dump samples. Do these indicate there is nothing in Bohemia? In conclusion, with scientific men like Parke Cliaiiiiiug, who made the report upon E ly’s copper ores that put millions into it; Emmons’ report upon I.eadville that sent eastern money there: Rickard’ s report that put English money into Cripple Creek: Spurr’s and others’ reports that put mil lions into Alaska, that is building a railroad that costs $100,000 per mile, who is going to report upon Bohemia that will put a tun nel from Champion canyon under Grouse Mountain, and another from Mineral under Bohemia, that when it passes into the sedimentary formation will make as great a copper camp as Butte, that years after the timber is removed will be doing business, are among the in dications and possibilities of Bohe mia. Music Recital. v / | t ^ On Wednesday evening, Janu a r y 11, Mr. Warren Glaze, as sisted by the Methodist church choir and orchestra, will give a music recital iu the church audito- ■ iutn, for which a splendid pro- grain has been arranged. There will he no admission, but a silver | offering will be taken for the bene fit of the choir.
