The Stamp Mills in the Black Hills.

torres. N. Y. Times.
The stamp mills at Central City give
It the hustle and noise of a new Pitts
burg. There are, within a thousand
yards, from Is to 20 mills, carrying
nearly 1000 stamps, pounding away on
the hard quartz day and night. Between
the humping of the pondereus stamps,
each weighing 800 pounds, and the
screaming of the steam-whistles, there is
no Jet up, day, night, or Sunday. At 5
in the morning the whistle at the Pierson
Mill, which is the time-keeper of that
part of the gulch, sounds three sharp
blasts, signaling the oft-shift" of mill
to wake up and be ready at 6 to take
their day run Of IL hours. The other
mills down the gulch follow some time
apart in arousing their workmen. The
mills at Deadwood screech out their
Weakening blasts about an hour later, this
being the difference in time between the
two places, by some odd arrangement,
probably growing out of rivalry between
them, which will not permit them, out
of sheer spite, to 60 by the same slime
o day." At noon, supper time, and

starts up and re-echoes again for an hour
up and down the gulch.
These stamp mills contain from 20 to
100 stamps each !; the average is about
Is stamps, costing from $4,000 to &c.,
400, which the surrounding buildings,
machinery, &c, will increase $4,000 or
s., 0 The permanent works for crush
ing ores thus far erected at Central City,
Deadwood, and the adjoining camps ex-
coed $25O,O00. This is almost entirely
the work of the past six months. The
drills, picks and mining supplies used in
getting out and milling quartz also
represent a great deal 81 money. The
cost of operatinga mine is considerable,
Miners get from % to 81 per day. As a
sample Of how the quartz turns out, il
may be said that one of the "clean ups,'
after q short run on the Recacho ore al
Williams & Edwards mill, was 13l
ounces The average, per ton, of ore wa.
about $25. Regarding the outlook gen
orally for the quartz mines in this vicin
ity, it may be safely said that the or,
from one-half of all the lodes located
will pay $15 per ton and upward.

Household Hints.

BREAKFAsT-ROLLs WITHOUT SODA
Two eggs, one and a half cupfuls OF
milk, a teaspoonful of salt, and flour
enough to make a thick batter. These
must be baked in an iron gem pan or
they will be a complete failure. A
quick oven is desirable.
ORANGE CAKE.-Five eggs, leaving
out the whites of two, one and a half
cups of sugar, two of -four, one-half cup
of water, the juice of one orange and the
yellow part of the rind grated, one-half
t%easpoonful of cream of tartar, %one-quar-
ter t~easpoonful of soda. For jelly:
Whites of two eggs n orange and sugar
enough to mix like icing. The sugar
for the cake is boiled in water and used
cold. Bake in LAYERS as any jelly cake.
AsTHMA.-The following prescription
was given by Hon. f. B. French, of the
Treasury Department: Iodide of potas-
stun, two drains; tincture Of l0bella,
half an ounce; syrup of senega, two
ounces; camphorated tincture of opium,
half an ounce; water sufficient to make
four ounces. A %teaspoonful every half
hour until relieved. The above cured
the above-named gentleman.
SAVE THE JUICE IN PIEs.-1f the cor
respondent that has so much trouble
with her pies will take strips of muslin,
about an inch and a half wide, dip them
in water, and paste well over the edge OF
the crust and tin, she will have NO
further trouble. 1t will save her
patience and the juice of the pies. The
same strip can be used more than once if
they are cleaned, and provided they are
not too badly burned. This is excellent
for fruit pies.
WHITE MOUNTAIN CAKE.-Whites
of nine eggs, two cupfuls of pulverized
sugar, one of butter, three of -four, half
. cupfnl milk, half II teaspnnnful soda in
the milk, one and a half %teaspoonfuls
cream tartar in the flour; flavor with ex.
tract of almond; beat the eggs light
cream the butter and sugar; add other
ingredients, stirring the whites of the
eggs in last; bake in deep jelly-cake
. pans. keing-Whip the whites of three
eggs and n pound of pulverized sugar
light, stir In one grated cocoanut
! spread each layer of the cake thick with
the iceing; then ice the whole cake, and
/ set it in a cool oven to dry.
i To CLEANSE THE HAIR.-Ammoni:
should not be used on the hair; it in
lures the gloss and softness, causing tn
3 hair to become harsh and dry. The bes
t way to clease the hair and keep the seal
healthy is to beat up a fresh egg and rul
r it well into the hair, or if more conven
e lent rub it into the hair without beat
ing. Rub the egg in until a lather j
formed; occasionally wet the hands il
warm water, softened with borax; by tn
time a lather is formed the scalp is clean
then rinse the egg all out in a basin o
warm water, containing a tablespoonful
of powdered borax; after that rinse il
7 one clear warm water.

Hav. Grain and water.

Hav and rough feed should be fed in
racks: the simpler and cheaper, II dur
ahIe. the better. The practice of placing
in the racks enough hay to last a week
~ more is open to objection. If in the
ward it is damaged by the sun and storm;
Il in the shed it becomes tainted with the
breath of the stock; then the stock will
select the best first, which prevents even
feeding. As a rule it is preferable to fill
the racks with hay, and not put in
than enough for the day.
For the farmer with good hay, corn in
the ear is the cheapest grain, and answers
a fair purpose unless for special feeding.
It seems to be the general experience
that fine cOrn-meal ferments in the
stomach, and, unless fed with fine cut
hay or straw, is less profitable than whole
corn. Where corn or corn. meal is used
it is desirable to give a mess OF wheat
bran at least twice a week with a little
salt in it.
We have a poor opinisn Of a creek or
run for winter watering of stock:
1st. The approaches arc deep with mud
or covered with ice to the great detri.
ment of the stock. Frequently fear of
the one or the other deters an animal
from taking water as often as it requires.
End. The water is too warm in the
summer and too cold in the winter.
Sd. Through an alluvial soil surface
water unless in a rapid stream, retains
quite a portion of the poisons resulting
from vegetable decomposition.
A good we'll and wind pump With the
automatic reservoir and water tanks are
just the thing, and give to the prairie
states better water than a be found IN
mountain streams.
Water the stock twice per day with
water fresh from the we'll when the res
ervoir system is not in use.
A stack of good straw in the yard, and
on pleasant days a run to the corn field,
fill the measure of fair treatment

THE INDIAN DIFFICULTY. Soon af
ter the receipt of news from Fort
Colville, giving an account of the
hostile attitude of Chief Moses,
Gen. Howard telegraphed to Gen
Mcdowell the condition of affairs
the latter telegraphed to Gen. Sher-
man the substance of Gen. How
ards dispatch. A dispatch has been
received by Gen. Howard from Gen.
Sherman to the following effect:
On the receipt of the news giving
the situation of affairs, Gen. Sher-
man consulted at once with Mr.. Nc
Crary, the secretary of war, in re
gard to the matter. AS the order re-
quiring Chief Moses to go on the
reservation was made by the secre-
tary of the interior. Mr.. McCrary
stated that he would confer with Mr..
Schurz and see what could be done.
So far as can be ascertained, no ne
cessity exists for requiring Moses
and his followers to remove to a
reservation, and such being the case,
it is not iE2 probable that the secre-
tary of the interior may be induced
to revoke the order heretofore given
However, this is q point yet to be
decided Meantime, Gen. Sher-
man has instructed General Howard
to use all possible diligence in as
certaining t,e causes which have
produced the present attitude OF
hostility on the part of Chief Moses,
ana other Indians, and also the ex-
tent of disafectien, and to apprise
the government of the result of such
investigation. About everything
else a conciliatOry course was ad-
v1sed. Gen. Howard was requested
to learn all he possibly can. but to
do nothing to irritate the Indians
and precipitate an outbreak. Ore
