MAKING RICH SrRIKEs.-From private
letters received in this place from Excelsior
district. we are informed of very rich strike
that has lately been made in the Kncker>
booker ledge. belonging to the California
Company. 1t is estimated that the rock
that is now being taken out will yield up
ward Of $500 per ton. The company have
sent here for large number of sacks, for
the purpose of shipping the ore to some of
the mills here for reduction. This ledge is
adjoining the town limits of Meadow Lake,
and it one of the largest cropping lodes in
The district. Running parallel with it is the
Reporter, Wisconsin and Parker lodges,
which are considered equally as good,
though as yet not so thoroughly prospected.
This strike of rich rock proves that they
have as rich rock on the north side of the
Yuba as they have on the famous Enterprise
side of it.. Considerable excitement exists
at present on account Of this development,
and parties are busly employed in looking
up their claims in the immediate vicinity:
and are taking means TO fully preserve all
their rights and title thereto. ol...I 3.

~. NJ. r., Wis.)-Put quart of locust
seed into pan and pour boiling water there
upon. After standing few hours in a
warm room part of the seed will be found
much swollen and of a lighter color. Sep,
arate these from the smaller ones ty means
of sieve and plant them in moist earth.
The other seeds will require repeated soak
ing. Keep the surface of the ground moist
until the young trees appear, but be careful
and not plant TOO deep. Screens Of white
cotton cloth are good to keep the surface Of
the ground moist and hasten the growth of
the plants. 1t is probably best to plant in
nursery bed. and afterward remove the
young trees to The field. Plant early in the
