Mining Items.

We are Informed that Shafer d.
Burns, of Trnckee. have examined the
Hope a. Bennett mine, in Sacramento
District, aud have offered to build. a
first class mill on the property for one-
half the mine.
E p. Torrey, OF Oseana, is Develop
ing the Governor Booth mine, 10
Trinity District. The lead locks well,
aud as water has been encountered in
the shaft, whim is being erected to
hoist it.
Gen. Buckner is prospecting the
Monteznma mine and expects to cut
the lead at depth of 100 feet from the
surface in few weeks. He has erect
ed u within on the shaft and all the
hosting is done by horse power.
Should as large body of ore as was
found at the surface be struck. ut the
present depth, it will make Oreana
livelys and the owner of the mine rich
enough to be candidate for United
States Senator from Nevada.

AN INTERESTING SERMON.
Rev. Mr.. Fitch on ''HOw to be
Beantiful.''


Rev. G. w. Fitch preached in the NJ.
K. Church last night to large congre-
CATION. His text was the Sd chapter,
10th verse of Isaiah Moreover the
Lord saith, because the daughters of
Zion are naughty. aud walk with
stretchedforth necks and wanton eyes,
walking and mincipg as they go. and
making tinklIng with their feet
On this subject some plain truths
were told. Ii said fashion was trans.
forming women into monstroscites.
Poor girls were sacrificing themselves
to reach the standard of dress adopted
by Christian women, and were excluded
from society because they could not at
tain it. Fashion results in. race be-
tween the rich aud the poor--the one
trying to keep up with the other in
style, and the rich, by extravaganza in
dress. showing the utter uselessness of
the attempt.
He wanted TO see women break the
shackles and free themselves from the
slavery of fashion. Nothing SO occu-
pies the attention of women as dress.
The inordiuade love Of display is driv-
ing more souls to perditiou than any
thing else. Young men are afraid 10
get married because they connot afford
the luxury OF a IL hionably dressed
wife; yet, strange 10 say. men exact
from wouAen ooedieuce to the DEGREES
OF fashion. fnls slavery to conven-
tioDalism will exist so long as it
depends upon expenditure aud not
upon culture, work or disposition.
Plety does not depend upon paniers,
and be desired to see an uprising
against fashion by tue women of
America. Dress should be matter of
per- onal taste, not of fashion, and
special efforts to be fashionably pretty
au hAhhAbS toC
homelier. A hdy's character consisted
in something more than the jingle of
beads. fashion keeps poor women
away FROM church; their self respect
will not permit them to go where their
dress is.to be tbs subj ct of criticism.
Hs thought the psaphs!ic vision, of
Isaiah saw in the future IA copy OF
Denoresl's fa,non plates aud the
Grecian bend su-n ne spoke of women
walking aud miuciug as they GO"
The dIscours was listened TO with
marked attention. ani its truthfdlness
fully appreciated by the intelligent
women. AS we'll a mea. who heard it,
aud as it was dItferedt from the routine
sermons, il has excitedmuch comment.

AN IMPORTANT ENTERPRISES
A Project for Reeiaiming Thousands.
of Acres of Desert Lands.


The Humboldt Development and Ir.
rigation Company have undertaken to
divert large part of the waters of the
Humboldt on to the valley on the west
side of the river between Oreana and.
Browns Station. The Company pur-
chased the Clay &, Caufman water right
at Oreana. and are putting a substantial
dam in the river at that point. Piles
have been driven across the river bed,
and the dam is constructed so as to
withstand the pressure of the highest
freshets. The water will be diverted
from the river In a canal 80 feet wide
and three or four feet deep. Substan.
tial fumes are being constructed across
ravines aud low groand, and a tunnel
is being cut through the ridge which
runs almost to the river south west
from the dam. Tue works are carried
on under the supervision of. Mr.. Merry,
noted civil engineer. 1t is expected
that the canal will carry sufficient
water to irrigate all the valuable agri-
cultural land on the west side OK the
Humboldt river in the vicinity of the
Big Meadows. An immense reservoir
will be built west of the ridge through
which TIE tunnel is now being run, i'll
which sufficient water will be accumu-
lated when the river is high, to irrigate
thousands OF acres in the event of the
river running low during the latter part
of the summer. This canal will enable
hundreds of people co make homes ia
the lower Humboldt valley, and make
the desert literally blossom like the
rose, provided it's owners do not play
the Carr game" and grab all the land
under the Desert Land Act.

WHAT Boy DID.-The steam~en-
gine had now assumed a form that
somewhat resembles the modern ma
chine. An important defect still ex-
listed in the necessity Of keeping an at
tendant by the engine to open and
shut the cocks. A bright boy, how
ever-Humphrey Potter-to whom
was assigned this duty on Newcom-
ell engine in lS3l, contriyed what lie
called a scOgg0n--a catch rugged with
n cord from the beam overhead
which performed tie work for him
The boy, thus making the operation
of the valvegear automatic, increased
the speed of the engine to 10 or I6
strokes minute, and gave it regu-
larity and certainty of action that
could only be obtained by such an adj
justment of it's valves. This ingenious
young mechanic afterwards became a
skilful workman and an excellent en-
gineer, and went abroad on the CONT
nent, where he erected several fine
engines. Potter's rude valve gear was
soon improved by Henry Beigllton,
and the new device was applied to an
engine which that talented engineer
erected at Newcastle on-Tyne in 1918,
in which engine he substituted sub
stantial materials for Potter's unme-
chanical arrangement of cords.-POp-

TIN FROM EARLY BRITAIN-Thc
amount of tin required i'll ancient
times, when Egypt, Greece and Italy
were, one after another, in the full
glow of their prosperity, must have
been great. During preceding times
during what is called the bronze age
we may pass over all inquiry about
the use of it, as bronze was then con
fined, probably, to the making of small
ornaments or weapons for the chase of
war. But when, not to speak of all
kinds of vessels for domestic use, larger
works were undertaken, ranging in
size from the Colossus of Rhodes
down to a statuette for banqueting
room, and in number reaching to the
extraordinary amount of 5000 statues
i'll more than one single townIn Greece,
the demand for tin must have been
enormous, for, as Mr.. Fortnum tells us
in his excellent introduction to the
catalogue of bronzes in the South
kensingtOn museum, "the general re-
suit of analyses of several examples OF
Greek and Roman bronze has shown a
composition Of SO or 80 parts of copper
to II or 10 of TIM There
seems to be little doubt that the chief
district whence the Ph9nicians got
their. tin in Britain, lay in the neigh
borhood of Mounts bay, in the country
between Truro and the Lands End.
From well known passage in Strabo
1t would seem that the tin in his time
after being melted and Retired, was
carried to st. Michael's Mount, there
to be purchased by the foreign mer-
chants. who then carried it to the
neighboring continent and conveyed
it across Gaul for about 80 days to

10 ascertain the Height OF Lice
cattle.

1t is often important for those who
are not experienced Judges by the eye
to have some means besides the scales
of ascertaining the weight OF cattle
while living, and by following these
approved directions this can be done
within a mere tritle.
Take q string, put it around the
breast, stand square just behind the
shoulder blade; measure on a loot
rule the feet and inches the animal is
in circumference this is called the
giith: then win the string measure
from the bone of the tale which plumbs
the line with the hinder part OF the
buttock direct the line along the back
to the fore part of the shoulder blade
take the dimensions on the foot rule
as before, which is the length; and
work the figures in the following man.
ner: Girth of the bullock, say six feet
four inches; length five feet three
inches; which multiplied together
make 81 square superficial feet; and
that multiplied by % (the number of
pounds allowed to each superficial
foot of cattle measuring less than
seven and more than five feet in girth),
making 7l3 pounds Where the ami
NAL measures less than nine and more
than seven in girth, 81 is the number
Of pounds in each superficial foot
Again suppose a pig or any small
beast should measure two feet i'll gIrth,
and two along the back which multi
piled together, make four square feet;
that multiplied by II, the number Of
pounds allowed each square foot of
cattle measuring less than three feet in
girth, makes fl pounds. Again sup
pose a calf, sheep, &c, should meas
ure four feet six inches in girth, and
three feet nine inches in length, which
multiplied together make 15i square
feet; that multiplied by Is the number
of pounds allowed to all cattle meas
uring less than five feet and more than
three in girth, makes 265 pounds.
The dimensions of the girth and
length of back in cattle, sheep, calves,
or hogs may be as exactly taken this
way as it is at all necessary for any
computation or any valuation of stock,
and will answer exactly to the four
quarters, sinking the offal, a sum
which every man who can get even a
bit of chalk can easily fgure.-RuraL
