Paint all tools exposed to the weather,
and if with light colored paint, they will
not heat, warp nor crack in the sun.
Dip well seasoned shingles in lime
wash; and dry them before laying; and
they will last much longer, and not be-
come covered with moss.
In hitching horse to common rail
or worm fence. always select the inside
corner, which will be more secure by its
bracing position, and the halter will not
become entangled among the projecting
ends of the rails, as when hitched on the
outside corner. A better rule is never to
tie horse to rail fence at all.
Always tie a halter by first making a
single loop, and thrusting the end of the
halter through the loop. This is quickly
united, and will never come united of
itself.
Dip the ends of nails into grease and
they will drive easily into hard wood,
where they would otherwise double and
break.
In screwing nuts into any part of ma
chinery in cold weather, be careful not to
heat them with the hands, or they will
contract after being screwed on tight, and
become immovable afterwards.
In plowing or teaming on the road in
hot weather, always rest the horses on an
eminence, where one minute will be worth
two in a warm valley.
When board fences become old and the
boards begin to come off, nail upright
facing strips upon them against eachp post,
and the fence lasts several years longer.
Always set post fence over a ditch, or
near good drainage, and the posts viii
always remain dry and will last many years
longer than those standing in wet sub
soil.

armed men as it commenced ascending the

three of them were on the bank and the fourth
standing on the grade. When Gray drove up
he was ordered to stop aud pass out Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s treasure box. The box was
passed out and Gray ordered to drive on, when,
dropping his whip. he called out to one of the
robbers 10 hand IL up TO him, which was
promptly done. The whole thing was done
so quickly and quietly that the three passen-
gers on the inside knew nothing about it until
after the stage was under way. The box con-
tanned only $50 in coin, which was overlooked
and found in one corner of the box, which was
left open by the side Of the road, by the in
coming stage, on Wednesday morning. Some
certificates Of deposit were overhauled by the
knights Of the road and torn to pieces. The
robbers were evidently new hands at the bust

The CEDAR CREEk MNEs.-Montana is
again agitated by reports of important gold
discoveries-on Cedar creek, $50 miles north
west Of this place. They are said TO be rich
and extensive, and it now seems to be settled
in the public mind that hereafter one of the
principal mining camps of the Territory will
be the Cedar Creek Diggings. Our own opin-
ion is, after reading all the published reports,
that these new plncers will give employment
to from five to six hundred men-that n few
claims will enrich their possessors, others
prove failure. and that the majority will
yield from four to ten dollars a day to the
hand. Helena and the Deer Lodge towns will
lose by the new diggings and Gal
latin counties gain. Being so near the navi-
gable waters Of the Columbia. the merchants
of Walln walla and Portland will put forth
determined efforts 10 control their trade, and
must, to a great extent, be successful; but
they open a ready home market for the agri-
cultural products of the Bitter Root and Hell
Gate valleys, thus taking from the eastern
slope markets our most powerful competitors.

to look out the nearest and most practicable
route for road direct from Elko TO Eureka,
and secure the freighting interest to this point.
1t is confidently believed that this Is the
proper shipping point from the railroad for
that section, and that Il nearer and better
wagon road can be made from here than from
any other point. His forwarding house has
already received heavy consignments of goods,
shipped 10 their care, for Eureka, and will
load from here Mr. Elder will make it a spe-
ciality TO ascertain all the facts connected with
this important enterprise, and if the line of
the new road il rs represented, the nearest
and the most practical, our citizens will i'm
mediately commence its construction. IL is
time that our business men woke up To the
importance Of securing the trade of that prom
