DEVELOPMENT OF CALIFORNIA'S HOG RAISING SWINE BREEDERS WOULD MALL THE STATE'S BACON AND HAM ABUNDANCE OF FEED FOR FAT-TENING HOGS—GOOD TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES The development of California's hog raising industry has been undertaken by the State Swine Breeders Association. In the circulars sent out by the association there is a refreshing frankness that is likely to gain friends for the men who are doing the educational work. It is not usual for the men whose capital is invested in a particular industry to admit that some of the fault for a small market belongs to themselves. When they do, and announce that a portion of the work will be to correct that fault, the general public pays the usual tribute to evidence of fair playing by giving attention to what is said on other points. The fact that California, with an abundance of food for fattening hogs and transportation facilities that enable the live animals to be transported to conveniently located packing plants, sends $4,000,000 out of the state each year for live hogs for slaughtering and more than five times that much for bacon, hams and other food products obtained from the pig, is an indictment of the thriftiness of Aside from the present war begun flury of high prices, quicksilver mining in California has become more and more a question of economically handling larger tonnages of lower grade ores. Since Robert Scott evolved his fine ore, tile furnace in 1871, there have been no improvements worthy of mention in the metallurgy of quicksilver until the present agitation for concentrating. A very surprising feature of the situation, particularly to one familiar with metallurgical practices in the reduction of gold, silver, copper, etc., is the absolute lack of any systematic sampling and assaying at the quicksilver mines. So far as we have observed there is not a quicksilver mine in California which possesses or utilizes an assay office, at least there was none up to within the last six months. The distillation assay with the Whitten apparatus is simple, quick and accurate. The old timers have been complacently saying that "the furnace gets it all," and that therefore they did not need to assay. It is doubtful if the Scott fine ore furnaces in operation in California are averaging 75% extraction. In addition they are notorious for the quicksilver absorbed by the furnace and condenser walls; also soot is formed which has to be re-terated for contained mercury. The products of fuel combustion being mixed with the vaporized mercury, cause condensing troubles. Our experiments have shown that high extraction (above 90%) can be obtained by water concentration on tables, with friable ores in which cinnabar is distinctly crystalline. Crushing by rolls produces a minimum of silimes. If, however, the pulp contains a cinnabar slime, either from paint ores, or by reason of having to crush fine to release the sulphide, the briefest battle was the advanced base on the oldest of the scouts. No one seems to know which is estimated 70 to 90. He was in the where his expert thrilling enough. When urged Sergeant Chicke fine fight." Further detail close.

Any state that submits to such a drain of money must feel it in all the avenues of business, no matter how rich and productive that state may be. And no state that can live under such a depletion of its money can fail to become one of the richest in the Union if the drain is stopped. The plan of the Swine Breeders Association is to help stop that constant draught upon the money of the state so as to keep all, or as much as is possible, of it at home for home business purposes. In order to do this it is proposed to develop better methods of marketing, preparing hogs for market, and bringing about an increase in the number of hogs. There is no doubt that a great revolution can be accomplished by a few years of systematic work along these lines. The end would be not only the full supply for the state produced at home, but with the establishment of more packing houses there would be the incentive for a still larger increase in the output, so that enough for exportation of cured meats would result. This question is particularly interesting to the people. Not only as citizens of the state are the people of this community interested in having this swine industry developed so as to better the general conditions, but there is sure to follow on its success the establishment of seaside packing houses and wholesale establishments for handling the product of the hog farms. Southern California has the advantage of location at the convergence of transportation lines, and a climate that is favorable to the packing industry. This city is also nearer to more acres of the great interior valleys, whence the hogs must come, than is any other commercial and industrial center of the state. If the swine breeders of California meet with a fraction of the success they anticipate and which it is reasonable to expect, they will automatically develop a great live stock trade. Our experiments have shown that high extraction (above 90%) can be obtained by water concentration on tables, with friable ores in which cinabar is distinctly crystalline. Crushing by rolls produces a minimum of silimes. If, however, the pulp contains a cinnabar slime, either from paint ores, or by reason of having to crush fine to release the sulphide, the extraction by tables will be low. In such cases, though, it can be improved by classification, and treating the different sizes on separate tables. The silimed cinnabar can be recovered by flotation. A high extraction has been obtained by flotation tests in finely ground (-80 mech) fresh ores, utilizing either pine oil derivatives or eucalyptus oils. We say "fresh" ores, because contrary to common ception, cinnabar on exposure does oxidize sufficiently to affect flotation results, as some of our tests have indicated. Good results were obtained by table concentration on an ore carrying natural quicksilver. The concentrates being obtained, have yet to be roasted. Retorts are of limited capacity; and the concentrates because of their high specific gravity require stirring to prevent packing. A small furnace of the Scott type could be used, with a narrower shaft and narrow shelf-slit; such as are in use at the New Idria mine for treating soot. Here again we have the fuel combustion products mixed with the quicksilver vapor, and the attendant condensing difficulties. Some form of rotary roaster may be adapted, or a small size unit of the McDougall or Wedge type of mechanically rabbled furnace muffled fired. SOME INCREASE Australia and New Zealand had a high old time with our markets during the eight months ended February last. They sent $38,000,000 worth of goods to our shores, and at the same time they helped old Mother England out with the little fracas she is in across the channel. During the 1914-15 period, which was also under the democratic law, they sent goods to us to the value of $10,000,000 but they hadn't read the Underwood tariff law very carefully at that time. Some fellow over there having called their attention to the fact that 74 per cent American imports come in free of porized mercury, cause condensing troubles.

The experimental work is being carried on in the mill of the department of mining at the university of California, by Walter W. Bradley, of the staff of the state mining bureau. Much experimental work has yet to be done, but sufficient data have been gained, so far, to make a preliminary statement of partial results, pending the issuance of the final report in bulletin form later. This is done in the hope that it may assist those who are making inquiries along these lines, and also that it may elicit suggestion from those who are similarly experimenting at various mines throughout the state. ARMY AUTOMATIC EFFECTIVE WEAPON Deadly Execution Made Upon Mexicans at Ojo Azules The high mortality of Mexican bandits in the Ojo Azules, when Maj. Robert L. Howze's command killed 55 Villistas, is credited by officers in part to the effectiveness of the new army 45-caliber pistol. Most of the fighting was done with pistols by the Americans, who ran down the bandits at close range. The blow from the big 45 load bullet is said to be nearly sufficient in itself to stagger a horse. Accuracy is the strong point of this pistol. In former types of army pistols, the men found that each weapon was a trifle off from absolute accuracy on account of gas in the chamber, so that in shooting at a bullseye it was necessary to aim a little to the right or left, according to the bias of the particular guns. The new pistols shoot point blank at more than 100 yards.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, MAY 25 The briefest report of the Ojo Azules battle was that brought back to the advanced base by Sergeant Chicken, the oldest of the 20 Apache Indian scouts. No one with this expedition seems to know Sergeant Chicken's age which is estimated variously at from 70 to 90. He was in the van during the battle where his experiences were said to be thrilling enough to fill a book. When urged to tell what he knew, Sergeant Chicken said: "Him damn fine fight." Further details he refused to disclose. American residents of the Namiqupa, Chihuahua, section of Mexico have assured Gen. J. J. Pershing, commander of the punitive expedition, that the American troops have restored respect on the part of the natives for United States soldiers to a degree not existing for five years. For some time Mexicans had sneered at the fighting ability of the Americans, some of them honestly believing that the United States soldiers were afraid to engage any Mexican command. After the Ojo Azules fight, however, signs of the growing respect on the part of the natives became more and more manifest. American non-compatants living in the vicinity were treated with a courtesy which astonished them and the like of which they had noa experienced for years. These same Americans, however, have openly expressed their intention of leaving Mexico if the expeditionary command is withdrawn. They believe that a native uprising will result immediately the protection of the American guns is removed.

DICKEL TINKERING THE SHIPPING BILL Stirred by the successful revolt on the Philippines bill and by the rejecting of the government owned nitrate plant which the army bill proposes, administration leaders in Congress are now attempting to modify the provisions of the shipping bill so as to avert another defeat for one of the president's pet measures. There is good ground for the fear which this course evidences. The same men who were most active in opposition to the Philippines bill are opposed to the shipping bill. Their opposition is not so much with reference to details of the measure as to the underlying principle of government ownership—and it is doubtful if they can be woo to support the proposition in any form. However, the sub-committee which has the bill in charge is now endeavoring to tinker the project so as to make it applicable only for five years, at the end of which time the government owned ships are to be sold, and if no customer appears they are to be withdrawn from operation. In this form the measure would be a mere makeshift and a costly one at that. It might save the president's fact, but there is no warrant of law for expending millions of public money for that purpose. Moreover, it is extremely doubtful if the shipping bill can command a majority of the house no matter how it is tinkered. There is suspicion of the bill's origin in Washington which cannot be lulled—and if the administration leaders who are now taxing their brains with the problem really wish to do something effective with the shipping bill they will forthwith abandon it utterly. PLACENTIA-FICHFIELD SCHOOL DIST. TO SELL $30,000 BONDS Official Statement of Proceedings of The Board of Supervisors At a meeting of the board of supervisors held on May 16th the demands on the county of Orange on the hospital and highway funds were allowed as read. The clerk was directed to advertise for sale the $30,000 issue of 5% bonds of Placentia-Richfield school district, bids to be opened June 7, 1916, at 11 a.m. The application of George Mander-scheld to lay a pipe line across Newport road was granted. The application of Thomas Deitrich to hang a pipe line on Placentia-Yorba bridge was granted. The demand of the Anaheim Sugar company of $1,064.14 for rebate on taxes, was rejected. The application of K. Ochi to lay a pipe line under the Garden Grove road was granted. The map of tract No. 62 was referred to the trustees of the city of Huntington Beach. The application of David Hewes Realty company to lay a pipe line across Fairhaven avenue was granted. The board accepted Hiatt street, La Habra, La Mirada avenue and 5th St., Brea, as completed by Max L. Huberman, contractor. The petition of C. D. Luedke, et al, to vocate a highway in Garden Grove road district was granted. The petition of A. J. McFadden, et al, to vacate a highway in San Joaquin road district, was granted. The application of Pacific Tel. & Tel. Co. to make excavation in Fairhaven avenue, was granted. The purchasing agent was directed STATE MINING BUREAU The state mining bureau, through R. P. McLaughlin, state oil and gas supervisor has issued the following general orders to all deputy supervisors: Hereafter you will not approve any application proposing to deepen, abandon, redrill or shut off water at a well unless this department has been furnished with a complete log of the well in question, as provided by Section 18, Chapter 718, Statutes of 1915, together with the logs of the surrounding wells belonging to the same applicant. It will also be necessary for the applicant to furnish detailed statement of production of the amounts of water and oil produced from the well in question and the surrounding wells belonging to him. When necessary to inform an applicant of the above order you will please communicate with him on our Form 113, sending a copy to this office. Any of the above mentioned operations carried on without the approval of this department will be in violation of the law and must be reported by you to this office. This ruling is made in view of the fact that it is impossible for us to do proper work without complete records. Reasonable notice has been given to all operators in the state that the records are necessary and required by law. A copy of the law was sent to every operating company on September 8, 1915, and also a circular letter, stating that logs were required, was addressed to each and every designated agent upon our receipt of his appointment. John Golispay is arranging to build a double house on his recently acquired property on North Main street in In dealing with the Philippines bill the house not only displayed scant consideration for the views of the president as expressed in a letter he wrote to the democratic caucus, but theer was also demonstrated a lack of courtesy for the senate which would have caused a good deal of a commotion a few years ago. The house not only rejected the senate bill, but it adopted a bill which had never even been reported to the house, and then instructed its conferees to accept no modifications of the essential provisions of its legislation. This is conclusive evidence of the lack of team work in the democratic party—which Mr. Wilson has always insisted upon having. Not only can he not secure acquiescence from the house in plans which he has much at heart, but the house will not work in conconance with the senate. Norman Hapgood, having made a failure of Harper's Weekly, has now turned his attention to practical politics and renominates Mayor Mitchel of New York for the municipal election which is eighteen months away. When that time comes Mr. Hapgood will have even more leisure than he now has to follow his fancies, for he will then be relieved of his duties as apologist for the Wilson administration, which, in the fall of 1917, will have receded several months into history.

Dated May 17th, 1916. 5-18-5t $3,000,000 DECREASE CAUSED BY JITNEYS A decrease of more than $3,000,000 in gross earnings of steam and electric railroads for the past year is indicated in reports received by the state board of equalization, by corporations seeking a reduction in their assessments. This loss is laid by the railroads to the competition of auto stage lines and to traffic carried by privately owned automobiles. The total of $3,000,000 does not include the earnings of the larger steam railroads such as the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe, Western Pacific and Salt Lake. The heaviest sufferer, according to the figures given out by the State Board of Equalization, is the United Railroads of San Francisco, with $1,-000,000. Others are the Pacific Electric with more than $500,000 and the Los Angeles Railway, with $350,000. Dr. A. Zimmerman, the well known dentist of Santa Ana was a business visitor in town a few days ago.
