Lice ON Cattle.

Young cattle, and calves especial
ly, during their first winter, are very
liable to suffer from lice, and if not
attended to will grow poor and come
out in the spring looking bad and
their growth seriously checked, Sci
dom if ever will lice be found on
stock that is in good condition. In
fact, good keeping is sovereign rem
edy aud preventive of this pest Cat
tie which from some cause fail to do
well are very sure to be attacked by
lice, unless some means are taken TO
keep them away. 1t is unpardona-
BILE and cruel for the owners Of such
stock to allow their poor animals to
be 30 t1rmented, when the lice can
be so chesply and easily extermia-
ated Any one Of the following rem
edies will be found effectual. Make
a strong solution of tobacco by
pouring boiling water on the pure
tobacco leaf, and apply when sufi-
ciently cool. Make an ointment Of
yellow snuff or cayenne pepper, with
lard, and rub it thoroughly upon
their hides. Fry tobacco in lard and
apply; warranted to do the work
Sprinkle the breast thoroughly with
coal aches. This has proved very
good and cheap remedy. To help
make the work complete, give the
stalls, managers, etc, good coat Of
kerosene oil, but on no account, as
you value the comfort and good looks
of your cattle, apply any ofthe oil on
them.

Does Her oWu Work.

woman, less worthy of respect than

We listened TO this sneer and the
tone in which it was uttered beto-
kened q narrow, ignoble mind, better
htted for any place that 8 coantry
whose institutions rest on honorable
labor as one of the chief corner
stones. 1t evinced false idea Of the
true basis of society, Of true woman

ed the detestsble spirit of caste, or
rank, which certain class are trying
to establish caste whose sole
foundation is money, and is the
meanest kind Of rank known to civil
ization- Mind, manners, morals, ali

of no account with these social snobs;

bought with gold, and each addition

womanly Modesfy.

Man loves the mysterious. A
cloudless sky and the fuil.blown rose
leave him unmoved; but the violet
which hides its blushing beauties
behind the blush, and the moon
when emerging from behind a
cloud, are to him sources of inspi-
and Of pleasure.-Modesiy Y is to u ner-
it what shade is to figure in paint
ing-it gives bodness and promi-
nence. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modesty. 1t sheds
around the countensnce a halo OF
light which is borrowed from virtue
Botanisss have given the rosy hue
which tinges the cup of the white rose
the name maiden blush" This
pure and delicate hue is the only
paint Christians virgins should Use;
II is the richest ornament A wom-
an without modesty is like faded
flower difusing an unwholesome odor,
which the prudent gardener will
throw from him. Her destiny is
melancholy, for it terminates in shame
and repentance Beauty passes like
the flowers of the albe, which bloom
and die in a few hours bat modesty
gives the female charms which sup
ply the place of the transitory fresh
ness of youth.

A LAND OF GOLD.

A gentleman who recently made quite an
extended trip through Idaho, says the
Times Review" gives the following ac-
count OF what he saw there: The Bay
Horse Mining District is in Idaho Terrific
ry, 1872 miles from Black Foot, the present
terminus of the Utah and Northern. Cha
lis is the principal town in the district,
and is the supply point for both the Bay
Horse and Yankee Fork Mining Districts.
There is a good road from Chalis to the
Utah and Northern Railroad at either
Black Foot or Market Lake. A large
amount of ore was shipped from Chalis to
Salt Lake last season. Rams Horn mine,
in Bay Horse District, averages 500 per
ton of silver and so to 60 per cent. galena.
A number Of other mines are being opened
in this district. But the principal mining
camps are those of Yankee Fork District,
80 miles from Chalis, in the Salmon river
mountains. Here is to be found some of
the richest gold quartz in the world. The
Charles Dickens mine has one-half a mil
lion dollars worth Of ore on the dump,
and several million dollars worth in sight.
Mr.. Norton, the owner, pounded out by
hand S11 900 worth in n month. and
with an arasta, with two beds, cleaned
up $40 900 in six weeks, This was from
select ore. 1t is predicted by knowing ones
that there will be from 5000 to 49, 0 peo-
pie in these placer diggings before the close
of this year. As l said, Californians are
gobbling up the mines here very rapidly.
The Montana mine, in Yankee Fork district,
has a GS-foot ore vein. An average sample
assayed $40, goo per ton. There are mum
Der of other rich mines in this district
which is all free milling ore. Pack animals
are used to get material to the mines and
handle the ore over the road to Chalis-35
miles. The Californians, however, who
have brought large interest into the region,
are constructing splendid roads to the rail-
road points.

The Heated Mines.

Professor John A. Church of Columbus,
Ohio, has read before the Chattanooga
meeting of the American Institute Of Min
ing Engineers, a paper on the heat Of the
Comstock mines. The source Of the heat,
he thinks, cannot be the decomposition of
a sulphite-like pyrite, for the resulting sui
phate would be highly soluble and the
water would be much stronger in sulphuric
acid. The true source Of heat is probably
the chemical alteration Of the f~eldspathic
minerals of the propylite and other rocks.
This change consists apparently in the pro-
cess of Transforming feldspar to clay,
technically known Us kaolinization, from
the fact that china, clay. OR kaolin, is pro-
duced in this way. Professor Church cal.
culates the total quantity of heat carried
out of the mines yearly by the water and
air approximately at 416 900 900 ton-heat
unites, to produce which, in ordinary in
dustrial operations, would require So $50
tons of anthracite coal or 81, 700 cords Of
wood. From the facts of the case and his
explanation of them, Professor Church
answers the important question: Will the
heat continue to increase as the mines grow
deeper Pin the affirmative. He thinks
that the heat in the mines is subject to q
steady and moderate increase as their depth
is increased, this regular progression
being broken by the passage through belts
Of rock heated above the average of the
country"

BURNER AND GOOD HOPE DIS
TRICTS.
The New Mines on the COrnucoPia
Road.

The New Mincs ON the Cornucopia
Road.
A correspondent OF the "Times-Review"
writes as follows, relative to Burner and
Good Hope Mining Districts Burner Dis
trict is situated upon the south end Of a
lone mountain, which stands between the
Battle Mountain and Winnemucca roads
leading to Cornucopia. and about six miles
west Of Winters ranch. In it is q quartz
tie formation, about $50 yards wide,
through which run seams Of quartz, vary
ing in width from four to ten inches, and
assaying from $50 to $400. North OF this,
about one mile, are three separate and dis
tinct lodges, one Of which is four feet wide;
of decomposed quartz, n asssaying $500.
Another, three feet wide, is q spongy look
ing quartz, carrying silver all through it,
and next the hanging wall there is a seam
about eight inches wide and carrying over
81, 100 per ton. The third is not yet m
covered. Prospectors will bear in mind
that this camp has been prospected but
little, and that assays Of SIT have been
found in a soft formation one and a half
miles south. The Burner brothers are the
only ones who have, as yet, done work of
any consequence. They are down on n
claim only Is feet, and q tunnel is in pro-
cess Of construction that has been driven
so feet. Any one can see at a glance that
it is safe to say that Burner District has q
future. Good Hope has a future, also. 1
was in Page & Kelly's mine a few days
since, and they have a body Of native and
ruby silver, two feet in width.

A New York letter says: "But sometimes
even the sharp ones get scooped. There is
a Spectator in stocks whose name is known
all over the world. He had a confidential
clerk, a sharp fellow, to whom he had given
from time to time points, so that the clerk,
while serving his master we'll, might make
a little for himself. In this way the clerk
accumulated about $40, 900. The other day
the big speculator discovered that his clerk
was treacherous. He didn't make q row
about it, nor bewail the decadence of hon-
esty, nor ever with a sad face give the
erring clerk q moral lecture and plead with
him to reform; but he gave him points,
and the u~nsuspecting clerk found, when it
was too late, that the points all went
against him, and his $4,000 had passed
into his employers pockets. The big
Spectator is always practical"
