RICH SrRIKE.-On Friday of last week, JOHN
Dillon while sluicing in his surface mine on
Rock Creek above the Nevada road, near his
house about three miles from here, stripped a
heavy ledge of very rich quartz. tons of which
show free gold in plentiful profusion to the nak-
cd eye, and some Of the specimens which we saw
would yield fully $1,000 per ton. Dillon, who
is an old Rock Creek 'honest miner, staked off
and located 1000 feet of this ledge, 400 for HIM
self as discoverer and locator, and 600 for three
friends, and since, learn, has purchased the
interests of his friends, so that he now owns the
entire 1000 feet which, if it keeps up its yield as
it has so far, will make him a rich man very
soon. Good luck to you, friend Dillon. There
are places yet in California where there are only
about fifteen minutes between rich and poor
men.

or BY decidedly bad attachment to the
vehicle they are drawing, thad by oil the
service they perform. But few teamsters
have ever been taught how to harness .

learned that there is right way and

When q harness 10 taken from the shop,
every part should be adjusted to 6t the
horse that 10 to wear il. The back band
should be let out or buckled up, uotil Il
will be neither too long nor too short
whom the animal is drawing a load.
Many . good horse has had large sore
made on his back simply because the
baok. band Of the harnes was bucklcd up
too far. The breechipg should also be
adjusted properly, 90 that the horse will
not seem like man In boys coat, nor
like colt wearing the harness Of q full
grown horse. The collar should 6t as
neatly to the animals neck as an easy pair
of shoes set on ones feet. The collar
should not DO 80 long that man can put
his arm easily between the neck Of the
animal and the lower end Of the collar.
Many borses-especially old ouss--when
thin 10 flesh, require collars SO small that
they cannot be put over the heads Of the
horses that wear them. 1t is of eminent
importance that the proprietors of teams
should see to such minor points, and pro.
vide collars that are open at the top or
bottom. Every horse should have his
own collar and harness, az much as every
man bis own boots and coat. The lines
are often adjusted in such q manner that
the heads Of both horses are hauled away
from each othor 90 far that the team can.
not travel easily. At other times they
are drawn too far inward toward each
other. The lines should be adjusted 90
that the heads may BE- held just as far
apart as the length Of the double whiffs-
tree. When team is attached to car
riage, or alumber wagon, the breast.strsps,
stay chains or neck-yoke should be SO
adjusted that the pole or tongue cannot
strike either horse. The tongue is often
allowed to have so much play, that it
whangs the arms or shoulders Of the team
with terrible force, when the vehicle is
being drawn over rough ways. The neck
yoke straps, or tongue chains, should be
drawn up so As to elevate the tongue be-
tween the shoulders, where the lateral
jerking or thrusting will be received by
the gearing on the necks of the animals,
rather than against the unprotected arms
or shoulders. Practical Farmer

Ans. When the fauces Of the mouth and

extent as to tax the substance of tho

her eyes. Jack wanted to cry too, but
ho would not so he took the things and
ran off as fast as no could.
When he came to the woods ho looked
around for . hollow tree that ho knew

he went 10 and put bis things away, for
he meant to have that for his house.
Then he went out to hunt up bis dinner.
