Colorado Mining Interests.

In and about Leadyille, Colorado,
mining is the only thing that is thought
or talked about. Even the children re-
sort to miniature mining operations in
their play. The latest rich strike on the
Lead Chief track was made by two little
boys, who put mp small windlass, hung
bucket on it, and with their small
picks and shovels began operations in
earnest upon the stubborn soil. They
worked faithfully and progressed we'll,
and soon were rewarded, At the depth
# four feet they struck large, blind
lead, the ore from which is richer than
anything yet found on the claim, al
though the vein upon which the owners
are working is a splendid one. The new
strike is well.defned fssure, running
parallel with the first and about fifty
feet distant from it. The new mine has
been called the Little Chief, and the
owners Of the Lead Chief having leased
it, they are taking ore from it yielding
800 ounces of silver to the ton.

Things Easy and Not Easy

1t is the easiest thing in the world to
find fault It is easy to say that the
church is to blame for it. 1t is easy to
say that the church would be all right if
the minister would preach and do as he
ought. Bat it isn't easy to look on the
best side, to see that there are hundreds
of faithful preachers, Thousands of hon
est, sincere men and women, countless
acts of justice, charity and humanity,
which outweigh all the grumbling OF all
the grumblers so that it is really only
the finest dust in the balance. Let us
be fair and cheerful. The world is not
all wrong. Everybody isn't rascal.
Our neighbors are not trying to cheat
us. The church is doing q good work
for the world, and even the GROWERS are
not half as disagreeable as they seem.

A Learned Cat and a Wise Hen.

Mrs. Augustus W. Brooks, OF East
Eliot, Me-, has (or did have about a
year ago) cat thirteen years old, which
she brought from Boston, and for which
she has been vainly offered $50. This
learned pussy will stand up at the word
of command, bow slowly or quickly as
directed, walk around the room on her
hind legs only, dance, turn somersaults,
go through the motions OF holding o
jewsharp to her mouth with one paw
and playing on it with the other, NEW
when ordered to speak, kiss her paw to
visitors, hold saucer of milk on her
fore legs and lap the milk, aud stand on
her hind feet and with her fore paws
catch bits of bread or meat thrown to
her, like se-ball player. Her kitten,
a year old, will turn somersaults. The
same lady has hen which always wipes
her feet on the mat on entering the
house, and il asked, How do you get
your living, biddyP will scratch on the
floor, look to see if she has scratched
out anything, and then look at the ques-
toner TO see if the answer is correct;
this hen despises the wooden, chalk and
porcelain cheats, which some people
palm off on hens for nest eggs, tumb-
ling them out OF her nest as often as
they are put in. A rooster will also
scratch the floor when asked how he
gets his living, but can not be made to
wipe his feet.

And mine are all the best flowers
That over the whole earth grow.
And mine are all the blythe hours

When bliss cannot bear the light

ASvAGUABLE DISCOVERY.
An Inviting Field for Prospectors.

A short time agosA. II. Ruse discov-
cred some quartz near Willow Creek
Station on the Idaho road, some fifty
miles north from here. The quartz con-
tanned ore Which prospectors pro-
nounced. good, and the discoverer COM
menced work on his prospect. Last
week s. w. Ruse went to Willow
Creek to look at the prospect, and he
brought back some samples Of ore from
the groupings. These were assayed by
D. Van Lennep with the following re-
suits; First-class ore contained 1859 SO
in silver and $50 6S in gold to the ton;
second class ore contained SIS 81 in
silver and Sal "a in gold to the ton.
We are informed that the ledge is
nearly twenty feet wide.
The locality in which this discovery
was made has not been prospected to
any great extent. Until recently no
body seemed to believe that valuable
mines existed north Of the railroad in
this county. The discovery of the Par
sadise, mines showed the fallacy Of this
belief, and the Ohio mine, which is also
situated near Willow Creek, still fur
ther convinced the skeptical. There is
large area of territory in northern
Humboldt that is yet unprospected,
and prospectors could not find more
inviting field in the State than that
section affords. The country has been
used exclusively as cattle range, and
.vaqueros are not looking for mines.
