MILES OF SILVER.
The Metal Bursting from a Colorado
Mountain.

The Metal Bursting from a Colorado
Mountain.
A letter from Caribou, Colorado, has
this mining gossip:
'The grandest enterprise of this gold
and silver region is the Caribou Mine.
located about eight hundred yards west
of the town, at an altitude of 10000
feet above the tide.water. 1t is uni
versally conceded by experienced
miners to be the richest and best pay
ing silver mine,in proportion to it's de
velopment, of which we have any re
cord. On the surface it extends !, 400
feet, for which government title has
been obtained. There are eleven
shafts, aggregating over 1000 feet, the
deepest of which is 100 feet from the
surface. The mine contains ten levels.
aggregating not far from 1900 feet;
width of crevice from seven to nine
feet, with smooth and well-defined
walls.
This extraordinary silver ledge is i'm
bedded in q mountain of syenite, but
the vein is so perfect that mining op-
erations are carried on at a rapid rate,
and as the ores contain large per cent
of sulphurets and galena, carrying
tons of silver glance and brittle silver,
with very little zinc-blende, and no
anthony or arsenic of any conse-
quence, they are rendered exceedingly
easy of production, while their rich
ness is almost fabulous. Parties offer
to wager that ton of ore can be OBJ
tanned from this mine that will yield
$4,000, coin value.
On the head of one of the forks of
Middle Boulder, six miles west of Car
ibou, a wonderful lode has recently
been discovered. 1t appears to be the
outcroppings of an enormous silver
ledge or system of lodes so linked and
woven together as TO give them the
appearance of one vast lode, literally
bursting from the mountain. By actual
measurement it is sixty three feet in
width, carrying ore the entire distance
that shows an assay varying from sew
enty five to one thousand dollars silver
per ton.
On the 4th of July it was discovered,
and thus it is called the Fourth of
July lode. The fabulous tales of
Golconds are not more wonderful than
the reality Of this great freak of ma
ture. 1t can be distinctly traced over
the snowy range and into the Middle
Park, distance of five miles. One
piece of ore taken from the discovery
shaft at depth of fifteen feet, and
assayed by Prof. Dawley, gave over
$4,000 silver per ton. The main shaft
is located at the timber lire, but the
ledge extends up the mountain into
perpetual snow banks, and over the
range and down the western slope to
the Pacific waters.
The surrounding formation is prima-
ry granite, and the ore carries galena,
black and gray sulphurets, green and
blue carbonate of copper, with here
and there traces of zinc, arsenic and
anthony. A large body of beautiful
timber is near the mine, and six hun
bred and forty acres are already claimed
by one company. Good hay lands and
grazing range are in the valley below,
and the vein will afford room and ma
terial, Judging from the surface indica-
tions, for hundred thousand men to
mine for generations to come.

HoME-MADe YEAsr.-Daisy Eyebright,
in the Country Gentleman, recommends
the following: "Boil two handfuls Of
hops, tied in small bag, in six quarts of
water; slice six large potatoes, and boil
them with the hops; when they are soft,
skim them out and mash perfectly fine ;
add to them one and Il half pins of wheat
flour stirred to Smooth batter with cold
water; turn over the whole the boiling
hop liquor, first taking out the bag and
squeezing it dry; than hang it aside to use
another time, for it will make two patches
of yeast. Stir into this mixture two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, enc Of ginger. and
one of salt When mils warm, add a
teacupful OF yeast, set in warm place to
rise, aaf it will be ready to put in a jug
by the next morning. Keep in cool eel
lar or ice-house, and it will last good for
SIX weeks or more. Always shake the
jsg before using any of its contents. A
teacupful of yeast will make three loaves
of bread and::a pan of rolls. Ishall surely
try the recipe of Southern corn meal,
which always use in preference to the
yellow meal"

ingenious Fraud.

1t is a shame to make the gentle, in
nocent COW party to such fraud as that
which was recently perpetrated upon
one Mr.. Whitcher, of New Hampshire.
Mr.. Whitcher desiderated COW, and
it was on essential qualification of the
object of his persuit that it should
give milk. He found an animal at last
that was highly recommended, and as
a further evidence of her Tactical re-
sources, the owner took II quarts of
rich milk from her in the presence OF
the intending purchaser. After this
convincing testimony, the negotiation
was promptly consummated. Upon
taking the COW home, Mr.. Whitcher's
" maid of the milking pail" undertook
to extract her treasures, and to the
amazement of her purchaser, had no
success whatever. The simple fact
was, "a he soon learned, that the COW
was hopelessly iarow Subsequently
it transpired that the seller had fitted
her with false udder, from which the
milk was taken, and which was then
dexterously removed. The circum-
stance has afforded Mr.. Whitcher some
new ideas on the subject of human de.
pravity.

white Hairs on Horses.

The white hairs that appear on horses
from use or wear of saddle or harness
are very unsightlv. A correspondent of
the Massachusetts Ploughman recommend
the following remedy, which is certainly
simple one: Take q piece Of Hard. large
enOGghto give the parts a thorough greas-
ing;, rub, the same with the hand until it
becomes right hot, repeating the opera
ton at least three or four times, and the
white hairs will come out and the hair of
natural color take their place. l have
tried this on several horses and never
knew it to fail The, best time to do it is
in the winter, before the new coat starts.

A Child Hung Until Dead on the Back
OF q CnaIr.

From the Knoxville (Tenn.) Press, Oct. IS,
William Sands and his wife are poor
people, living on Copper Ridge, Union
county, Tenn. On Thursday last, this
couple had three children, the (young-
est being an infant about one year old
Mr.. and Mrs. Sands went out that day
into a feel near the house to bind fod-
der, leaving the three children, the
oldest of whom was not yet years of
age, III the house. In about twenty
minutes Mrs. Sands returned. and was
horror-stricken to find the infant hung
to the back of chair-dead. 1t APP
peared that the baby had climbedup on
a char to the bed, and in getting
down again from the bed its slip caught
in the projecting upright OF the back
OF the char, which rs the infant tried
to get on the floor, pushed up through
the Sip to the neck. The button held
on. the weight of the infant not being
sufficient to tear it away. and as the
feet OF the baby could not reach to the
floor, the sad result was that it soon
suflicated. The other two children
were too small even to know of the dan
ger which quickly ended the life of
their little brother.

Cockronche a Blessins.-

1t has been the. prevailing opinion
among housekeepers that cockroaches
were u nuisance, but among thepreudices
which science has destined to do away with
their rambling instincts restrained, yet,
with animals which are young and growing,
a very different course must be adopted.
If much confined they will get m,sshapen
and rickety, will lose the bloom of health
and vigor, and remain small in size and
tender in constitution. Exercise is as nee
essary for them as it is for horses, and the
manure heap. in the yard will be benefited
this opinion is to be numbered. We have
to learn now that the sprightly bugs
should be demesticated and taught to feel
at home. So insist NJ. Stronin, Of Paris,
and Herr Ehlert, Of Berlin. The breed
ing Of the cockroach, according To these
authorizes "should be an intelligent pur.
suit, directed by scientific knowledge and
prompted by sanitary powers" Any
misguided wife who physics them with
Lyons powders, smashes them with
broo'hstick, or pours deleotorious substan-
ces into their favorite corners, is an enemy
to the health of her family and direct
enceurager of that dreaded disease, cere-
ero-spinal meningitis. What says nj.
Stronin?fTg ,,ve-4i
"In all these quartess of Paris where
the paper and paste are accumulated, the
people encourage the multiplication of
these insects, and even undertake to tame
and breed them, and Stronin attributes
their immunity from cerebro.spinal men
nights and kindred diseases in a great
part to this fact.
Anyone who wishes colony or two Of
these public benefactors will find the
English species the best. in certain Eng
fish seaport towns there is a distinct class
of cockroach fanciers who breed these
insects with great success. Crossed with
the "kakerlac" of South America, they
are said to be particularly voracious and
warranted to give satisfaction" At a
recent meeting Of entomologists at Salem,
Mass, these English cockroaches were
conceded to be superior to all others, and
it was stated that the popular antipathy
to them was absurd, the ceckroach being
absolutely harmless and "capable of the
greatest affection for it's friends"

Exercise for Pigs.

The plan of allowing pigs to run in a
large, open manure yard, and tread straw
into manure, answers better fo- young or
growing pigs than for those that are iatten-
ing Neitheris inconsistent with the best
modern methods of Ilakiug and preserving
manure for while there is not "a better I'M
derstood fact in physiology than that ami

the process Of iattenin 6, and must have

Three Cheers for the Elder.

The State of Ohio used to be famous
for its camp meetings and religious re-
vivals; but if what we hear from there
nowadays is true, it has sadly lost it's
prestige IN those particulars. An Iron.
ton pa 'er tells us of circumstance
which lately occurred in that locality
which is strong indication that there
is something wrong either about the
preachers or the people. A revival
preacher, who had achieved considera-
BILE reputation as to his powers in the
pulpit, went to Ironton for week to
"start revival" He showed great
zeal, preached every night during his
stay, got double row of mourners'
benches F" ready, and called frantically
upon his congregation to come for
ward. The last night there was an i'm
mense gathering, and the preacher
fairly outdid himself. He shouted
and pleaded, and waited, but all in
vain. Not soul rose. Finally, dis
couraged beyond measure, he sat down.
At this juncture, long faced, anxious
looking man got up, and said that the
Elder had been working hard and
labored faithfully with them, and as a
token of their appreciation he moved
the congregation give him three
cheers. 1t was done with heartlress
which made the pews tremble, and the
people went home satisfied that they
had fully and faithfully performed
their duty. The preacher has ever
since been waiting to see Ironton de.
stroyed by fire.

A Midnight Circus.

Not long ago travelling circus was
advertised to appear at Kalama, WASH
ington Territory, AID the town was
filled with youngsters from the adjoin
ing country. Determined to make
something of the occasion anyhow,
they secured hall, hired fiddler, and
had a lively time dancing. But ju t
about 10 p. NJ, steam whistle was
blown, band was heard marching up
town, and the sound of hammers was
heard at work preparing the circus.
About midnight the pavilion was up (;
soon after the music announced that
the rcus was ready, the rural dancers
came flocking In, and the sawdust was
lively till cock-crow, when the circus
disappeared before sunrise ON board
the steamboat again.

Muiching.

Mulching is too often not properly APP
preciated or neglected from some cause.
Strawberries should not only be mulched
just before fruiting, but should be well
mulched in the fall, just before The ground
freezes, and you will not complain of your
vines being all frozen out or dead in the
spring. All newly planted trees, shrubs,
and evergreens should be well mulched as
sooni as possible. Three or four inches of
short straw, hay, light manure, or litter of
any kind will answer to keep the hot sun
from drying out the moisture of the soil,
which favers the, forma ion of new roots,
instead ofbeing parched up, as is too often
the case it also prevents the growth of
weeds. Mulching is often beneficial il,
saving crop of peaches, by retarding
their early opening until the late frosts are
over.

Horses That Kick at Night.

The causes of horses kicking at night
is oftener the result of nervousness and
restlessness than of vicious prospensities.
1t is form of hysteria Of the limbs. We
have cured animals of this by attaching Il
round ball of wood weighing two pounds
to the hind fetlock of the limb most used
in kicking, by means tcfa strap two and a
half or three feet long. When he kicks he
administers to himself blow from the
ball. He quickly finds that if he keeps
still he receives no blow, and ceases to
kick.-Rurql tNew Yorker.

Covering Manure.

1t is remarkable that more attention is
not given to the subject discovering manure
from the weather, and especially from too
much rain. Those who have given the mat
ter particular attention have found that
manure so protected is worth double that
which is left out in the open air. Two loads
for one is profit few farmers can afford to
lose. There is no question which so vitality
concerns the farmer as this one of manure
Much that he does has reference to it.
Straw is not to be sold, because it makes
manure. Stock is fed through the winter
for the express purpose Of manure making.
Articles which scarcely pay to send to
market are, nevertheless, taken to t. Q city
in order that manure may be brought back
as return load and yet, the whole Of the
manure made remains all the season ex.
posed to the sun, wind and rain, until it is
diminished in value to 50 great an extent
as it is. The trouble is that few really
believe that exposed manures undergo this
loss. But the matter has been throughly
tested to admit Of a dOupt We know first
class farmers who did net themselves be-
lieve it, until by actual experiment they
found out its truth. In arranging farm
buildings it will pay well to look as much
to the pre- servation of the manure as of The
hay or grain, and those who have their
buildings already finished without these
manurial arrangements will find $25 or
$50 spent on boards for shed will rank
among the hest investments ever made
