level stuping system at the Malmi
mine -devised by N. O. Lawton, the
mine superintendent, has been at-
tended with success. One room is
well under way and two others are
in the initial stages of operation.
Only about a third of the broken ores
is being removed from these rooms,
they being kept nearly full of broken
ore until the top of the room Is reach-
ed. Most of the ore mined at pres-
ent comes from the square-setting op-
erations next to the capping along the
tr>p and sides of the ore-body. From
two to three sets of timber are being
placed between the capping and the
ore preparatory to top-slicing. In gen-
eral, that part of the ore-body which
ean be mined in large rectangular
blocks will l»e extracted by the room
and pillar sub-level stuping method
while the irregular portions next to
the capping will be removed by top
slicing. The pillars left by the room
ami pillar method will probably be
top sliced.
Of course, the crucial test of the
sub level stuping method here used
will come when a room is mined out
and It Is attempted to draw out the
broken ore and to make the capping
follow the ore with a high percent-
age of extraction of clean ore. How-
ever. no fears are entertained Mr.
I*awton looked forward to these con-
tingencies and has numerous varia-
tions of method in mind. The sys-
tem by which the ore body waH block-
ed out permits great elasticity of min-
ing methods. At present the ore Is
being broken in the rooms very
cheaply.
Seventeen hundred tons per day are
being hoisted of which 200 tons come
from the dump, 000 tons from devel-
opment and 900 tons from from min-
ing operations.
Development work has amounted to
about 11000 feet per month, but this
figure is being reduced colnsidcntally
with an Increase in mining.
Work on Inspiration.
At the Inspiration, all work is now
confined to tin* operation of two
churn drills. One of these is on the
Hlaek (’upper claim prospecting the
extension of the Hlaek Warrior ore
body and the other Is located on the
Osceola claim, which Is part of the
ground formerly owned by the Inspir-
ation Copper company. Ho that work
on the main Inspiration ore body is
at a standstill awaiting the action of
the directors as to the location of a
mill.

---<*,----
Special to The Times.
San Angelo, Tex., Aug. 29.—Nearly
all observers whose lives have been
lived in the open and who have coma
in Immediate and constant contact
with wild animals, agree that thetr ac-
tions are governed by essentials quite
akin to human instinct, almost hu-
man acumen and Intellect. Our
friends of the forest and the plains
are so near us and yet we know so
little of their varying actions, their
wonderfully keen Instinct, and their
magnificent storehouse of memory.
When a big man of the plains like
John Corbett, who measures much
over six feet, comes In contact with
one it has an exhilarating effect. To
hear this man. a trapper by profes-
sion, who has trailed the dreaded
wolf, the destructive lobo for miles,
and finally loosened the twelve-pound
steel trap—to hear this real pioneer
wolf getter talk of his life adds a finer
touch of education.
Mr. Corbett, of Dakota, Utah, West
Texas, is without a superior as a trap-
per. and has brought to this news
room some additional sample heads
of lobos, one of which belonged to
the aged cattle killer in the Indian
Well nlghborhood. For days and
nights Mr. Corbett schemed and plan-
ned for this big fllow, and finally
landed it.
"This boy smelt steel from afar,”
■said the trapper, picturesquely, as
he stretched himself a little, and
winked his right optic, “but there is
an almost human curiosity about the
oldest and smartest of the lobos. It
is this curiosity that brings me the
bounty from the county and from the
delighted ranchmen, $35 per scalp.
There is Joy in pitting your wits
against a fellow of this caliber. If I
had a fnilllon, I would still love the
game. I have followed it thirty-four
years, and it never grows tiresome.”
As previously reported, Mr. Corbett,
bachelor dweller in the West Texas
plains, lobo hero, and real lover of
the sport, made Just $476.50 in seven-
ty-five days, and is now on hts way
to Reagan county to get the rest of
the canis occidcntaiis now making life
miserable for the lowing herds fat-
tening In the western portion of Tom
Green county’s second neighbor to the
west. Reagan county.
Wolves are wandering, unsettled
beasts, especially In thq winter, hunt-
ing up and down the country, with
their own choice lobo companions,
but. like humans, when they fall upon
easy prey, the small pack will actually
try to deceive their own fellow beings
and sneak out of sight and locate
something enticing. The cow or steer
or even bull is brought down and
killed in a few brief moments by a
lobo of some twenty-five years or so,
and by the older lobos the prey is
simply nagged to a slow death by
blood sucking.
In the hotter months the lobos sep-
arate to a large extent, oftentimes in
pairs, seek secluded retreats and
dwell in pet dens and burrows of their
own, made after the fashion of their
own wolfish hearts, but a whelp of a
wolf Is full of curiosity.
A xvolf pup can smell steel, ean
scent a trap and will go hiking off
at accelerated speed when the discov-
ery is made. Gradually, slowly, sure-
ly, Mister Wolf gets curious, and goes
back. This is where the trapper comes
in. The wolf gets a foot caught in
the never-failing trap,1 sometimes
drags It miles, and never gives up.
Fighting to the end, it will bite and
make almost super-human effort to
cat the trap.
Just a week or so ago Mr. Corbett
came into too close relationship with
a big lobo, and is carrying a swollen
arm as a result. Poisoned, but with
a grit that Is almost past under-
standing. this trapper sat down and
remedied his own wound. Then the
doctor in town, fifty miles away,
dressed it. Today ho has almost for-
gotten It.
Corbett is having unusually good
luck this season, and has made sev-
eral big stakes.
It is the opinion of boys that there Is
more to oat in most homes than 4n his
own.

SHEEP IN DEMAND
IN MOJtA COUNTY
Fully 150 Double Deck Cars Will Be
Shipped From Wagon Mound.
Special to The Times.
Wagon Mound, N. M., Aug. 29.—
Business of sheep and wool growers Is
decidedly better since the president
has taken his stand on the wool bill,
snd prices which were a trifle uncer-
tain, have assumed a better tone.
This season will see 150 double
decked ears of sheep shipped from
Wagon Mound, and half of the grand
total will go out of here within sixty
days. N. Well of Oeate, the Van
Houtens of Shoemaker, S. Vorenbrrg,
the A. MacArthur company and the
Wagon Mound Mercantile company
will be the heavist shippers.
Inquiries for sheep have been com-
ing in thick and fast the past few
days, but few shipments will be made
yet. The grass was never better and
growers are holding off for more
weight, which means better prices.
The recent rains in the hills have
made the grass Just about perfect.
Lambs this season average fully
ten pounds heavier than at this time
last year, and right now could go from
the range to the block, first-class
chops. It has been a great season
for the sheepmen.
While several carloads of wool have
been sent out, much wool Is still
held, and will be shipped the latter
part of this month or early In Sep-
tember.

RANGES FOR SHEEP
Well-Known Grower Will Throw
75,000 Into Sierra County.
Special to The Times.
Hillsboro, N. M., Aug. 29.—It is
reported here on apparently good au-
thority that Solomon Luna, the bank-
er, sheep owner and politician, has
purchased the mountain ranches for-
merly belonging to the Los Alamos
Land & Cattle company, along the
Animas and Seco creeks In this coun-
ty, and which were taken over by the
Austin & Marr syndicate some three
years ago. It is said that Mr. Luna
intends to throw 75,000 head of sheep
Into the ranges along those lands. As
most of the water is on the lands
belonging to this syndicate, the sheep
are assured of plenty of water and
their numbers will undoubtedly drive
the cattlemen and small goat and
sheep ranchers out of business. If
these sheep are thrown In there they
w-ill eat out Sierra county and ruin
the range for the next fifteen years.
VALLEY CATTLE
IN MUCH DEMAND
Shipments From Phoenix Section Be-

Special to The Times.
Phoenix. Ariz., Aug. 29.—Shipments
of cattle from the Salt River valley
to coast points have begun earlier
than usual this year and it is stated
that the beef going out of this section
Is In better condition than In many
years past.
Cattle brought down out of the hills
some months ago to fatten on the
grazing and ranch lands of the valley
have had their fill of alfalfa and the
grasses which have sprung up follow-
ing the heavy rains and they are sleek
and fat. They will bring a good price
as soon as they reach the market.
Arizona fed cattle always bring a good
price, and when they have enjoyed
the advantages of a superabundance
of rich feed are more than ever eag-
erly sought.
Six ears of fattened cattle left over
the Santa Fe this morning for Cali-
fornia and other shipments are al-
ready being arranged for.
