been pounding the drills down in the mine.
had grown into fairies and angels, and were
waiting and singing cup there" to well
come him to his Sabbath breakfast.
While the miners were at their meals orr
party provided themselves with lamps and
started down into the mine. The incline
tunnel is about twenty feet in width and
eight or nine feet high, dug in solid stone,
and supported with large timbers neatly fit
ted and braced. The descent lisa little less
than 45o and was.made easy by foot-holds
attached to the floor, and a side hand rail.
Reaching the depth OF 900 feet, we halted
for a rest and debated the subject Of contin-
,uing the journey on through the earth.
Learning, however, that considerable of the
route would have to be made by water, and,
not being provided with a sutficiency of life
preservers, we abandoned the project of a
further descent. Here at the brink of q clear
lake which fills several hundred feet of the
tunnel, we made an inscription on the wall
something like this w. Ell. Frederick, Geo..
Wood, Carrie n. Gillette, r.. Gillette. and
MT1L and after exploring a number Of side
tunnels, some Of which were over 800 feet
long, our party began to ascend. This we
found all uphill business. so much so that
we halted occasionally to scrutinize the Won
derful neatness with which the tunnel is
timbered, listen to thrilling adventures and
ghost stories from members Of the party,
all of which were Of intense interest at these
frequent resting places. Somewhat exhaust
ed, yet delighted with the adventure we
gained the top, having made the round trip
In a little less than an hour. Delivering the
lanterns to the miners who were ready to
return to their labor, we walked over to the
Company's east incline just in time to see
the workmen start below. This mine has
considerable water in it which is being rails
ed by large Cornish pumps several hundred
feet, keeping the mine clear. The late hour
or rather the early hour of the night pre-
vented us from meeting Mr.. Jones, the su
perintendent, but welearn that the ore from
this mine is good, and pays the company
handsome per cent. upon their investment
A short ride returned us to the city where
we separated, having enjoyed a visit and ad

ALFALFA.-S. Soule, who resides in
Sonoma county, near Healdsburg. has
been experimenting on alfalfa for
some years, and has learned from ex-
perience that it is best 10 pasture II

allowed TO stand it lies down when
the rains come, and ii is impossible TO
cut the next crop clean. In case of q
failure 10 catch well at the first sow-
ing, it may be remedied by cutting
late that which does catch or by pas
turing late, SO that the fell crop will
be short and go 10 seed with but lii
lie straw then, just before the rains,
harrow it thoroughly. Narrowing
will not injure the roots Of that al
ready set, but will mellow the surface
of the ground and cover the seed. In
this way the new plants viii not be
choked out by the more vigorous
growth of that already rooted. On
good corn land he has taken four tons
of alfalfa hay TO the acre at one cut
ting, and pastured it with an average
of four COWS TO the acre for the rest
Of The season.

doctors wife cared for the old plant
as best she could until the steamer
touched Acapulco, where the doctor
obtained 4 small pot of earth from a
friend, in which the plant was placed
and brought 10 San Francisco. The
doctor and his wife had then no per

STORING EGGS.-The hatching sea-
son being over, eggs may be packed
away. No difficulty will be found in
keeping them three or four months if
taken when perfectly fresh aud care
fully packed in salt. For this purpose
! stone jar, holding from four to SIX
gallons, will be found the most con
Venient. Use very dry salt. Cover
the bottom of the jar with salt TO the
depth Of half an inch, then set the
eggs with small end down, in the salt,
cover them over with salt and proceed
iii the same manuer until the jar is
filled then set it away in dry place.
Unless the salt is dry when used.
and kept dry afterward, 1t will get
solid, and be difiicnl. to get the
eggs out. BY following the above d.
rections you may have fresh eggs in
mid winter, when they are scarce and
high. The expense is trilhlng as The
salt may be used again after the eggs
are taken out. BE careful to put in
ouly fresh eggs. y stale egg will not
get any better by being packed in
salt. Other methods are recommend
ed, and many of them are, no doubt,
good, bu; | can recommed the above
receipt after giving 1t fair trial. Try
