A correspondent visiting General Gar:
field writes: The pride of his home IS
doubtless his venerable mother, 76 years OF
age-a blithe, happy little lady, still very
active for one of her years. The general is
children are modest and retiring. and
evidently very carefully and fondly trained;
Mrs. Garfield could not properly be called
q handsome woman, but she has a bright
eye and a cheerful welcome for all who
come to pay their respects to her illustrlous
husband. General Garfield personally SUI
nerintends the management of his farm,
valuable and productive property, more so
than farms usually 60.

HAVE YOUR Own WAY!

Perhaps you want your
clothing made to your meas
ure. Did you suspect that
we make to measure a
half-million dollars worth of
clothing every year for peo-
pie we never saw and never
expect to see? You may
be very certain that we have
a way of doing such work
without much risk of a mis-
fit; for a misht, you know,
comes right back to us. We
are pretty careful about
making blunders when we've
got them all to make good.

Eulilon Tax.

The County Auditor informs us that
the tax ON the net proceeds of mines,
for the quarter ending December 3lst,
is the largest On his books. The amounts
assessed to the several mines, are as
follows: Arizona mine, Sl20 IL; Lang
Syne mine, SIG %; Paradise Valley
mine, 1915 81; Bullion of Paradise
mine, 1919 80; Van DE Water miue,
So 81; total, 81, 454 Al. This does
not include ores shipped out Of tine
county, and, though the tax does nos
amount to much in the aggregate, yet
it is encouraging to know that the bull
lion product Of Humboldt is increasing
The Van De Water Company's Mill was
running only short time in the quarter
mentioned, and as the mill is now run
ming steadily on paying ore, it's bullion
product ought to be considerable for
the current quarter.

Information wanted by the Agrfcul-
tural Department.

tuFai OcpuftIachts
County Clerk Job has received let
ter from the Department of Agriculture
at Washington asking for information
relating to wild sugar-cane, which is
said to grow along the banks of the
Humboldt and about the Sink of Car
son. The attention of the Department.
was directed to the matter by an art;-
Gle in the Virginia Trespass Of 1867,
which says that large quantities Of
an excellent species OF sugar-cane grows
wild and i'll great abundance along many
portions Of the banks of the Humboldt
river, especially towards the lower por-
ton OF it's course. Tie same plant is
also seen about the Sink of the Carson.
Whenever the stalk is broken or pune
tured, which is largely done by the ac-
ton of the wind, the juice exudes quite
freely and, drying in the atmosphere, is
converted into a most excellent sugar.
The sugar forms in little balls, several
of which are often attached to single
cane, and sometimes as large as wal
nuts. These Humps Of sugar are gath
cred by the Indians by the basketball .
the Trespass very properly observes:
''This may be an important thing to the
country, finding the cane a native OF
the soil. 1t is superior to sorghum, for
its blood readily graduates, which the
blood of the sorghum will not do, and
can be manufactured only into syrup.
4 plant native to the soil may be found
available for cultivation in lands where
the more tender Asiatic plant will not
thrive. Sorghum made a noted entry
upon the public attention some years
ago and because of the announcement
that it was harder than the common
cane of the South, and could be cult
waited in any soil or climate. It proved
partial failure, as we have said, on
account Of the inpossibility Of granu-
| lation The wild cane on the Hum
boldt flourisies in a climate composed
of all that goes to make life rough to
animal or vegetable; torrid heat and
severe cold by times, with terrific winds
and drifting sands. 1t ought to grow
in any low-lands in the United States,
and, we believe would, if planted and
cared for the first SESSION"
The Indians along the Humboldt in
early days gathered a kind of wax
which accumulated on willows in the
Summer time and crystalized in the
Fall, and in appearance and taste re-
aemblel crushed sugar. Settlers on
the Big Meadows also reported that
there was species of sugar-cane grow
ing in that vicinity. Ii any of the
readers of the SILVER STATE can
give any information on the SUBJ
ject, which may be of interest
to the public or the Department
of Agriculture, they will confer favor
by making it known. VIII some Of the
old or new settlers on the Big Meadows,
or elsewhere in the county, tell what
they know of this wild sugar-cane, and
whether it is as represented by the
Trespass1

mcnes was made up of very thick and heavy slabs
or plates Of marble, nearly 72 feet IN height. with
q breadth varying from to feet. On these are
carved gigantic figures one and half times the size
of life forming when arrangedin their normal order,
n continuous picture of the conflict between the re-
bellous Ttans and their Divine oppoDents-the vast,
rude uncomfortable powers of nature against those
personifications Of oyder aud culture, the deties
of the Greek Olympus. The decisive point OF the
contest has been reached the scale of battle is
tnrpinC in favor of the celestial combatants aud
tic mother Gipa rises from her terrestrial abode to
witness and to bewail tho defeat OF her children,
the osprng of the earth and sky. All the monsters
Of the land and water and air-their human bodies
sometimes fantascally terminating in long serpen-
tine extremites in finny tails OF fishes, sometimes
adorned with rngs-appear 10 be present, as well as
all the heroes of the higher regions In the intense
emotions stamped their features can be read the
whole history of the struggle from the unexpected
assault to the final crushing defeat. Noteworthy.
too is the contrast between the majesty
of the gods, conscious OF deity even IN
their wrath and certain of triumph, and
the rough brutality of the giants whose deep
hollow eyes, lying beneath their ferociou,
brows. are filled with the stupor OF despair. and
whose whole frames beginning to quiver with
tbe anguish caused by their approaching defeat al
the hands of a race, the might and superiority OF
which are to them alike surprising and incompre'
bensible. The Interpretation of the sculptures ia
rendered easy by the fact that the artist or artists
took care to enerave the name of each deity above
and the name of each giant below the figures repre-
senting them-a cautious practice which, If it had
been universal among the sculptors of antiquity
would have diminished the literature Of art history
by some scores of quartos.
As has been stated the general object Of the work
