Deep or Shallow.

The subject of deep or shallow blowing is
being revived and discussed in some quar-
tiers. 1t is an important and instructive
theme for farmers. A correspondent of the
Ohio Farmer says: On light soils underlaid
by porous subsoil 1 will not say that deep
ploughing is best, for don't know whether
it is or not; but on our clay soils, underaid
by compact subsoil, believe in deep plough
ing. the deeper the better, and subsoiling
and undertaking too. If we allow this clay
subsoil to remain within five or six inches
of the surface, it forms crust at that depth,
through which the roots of plants do not
easily penetrate, and there is only few in
ches of good, mellow soil at the surface for
the support of plant-life; when rains fall,
this shallow bed of moisture is soon ex-
hausted, and if not soon replenished the
the plants suffer from drought, and in wet
seasons it is soaked and injured by surplus
water to an extent unknown in deep Soils
On the other hand, if the soil is made deep
and this crust broken, it not only gives the
roots deeper range in search of food and
nourishment, but it absorbs like sponge
the rains that fall, and gives off the mois-
ture as it is wanted by the plants during the
hot and dry seasons. For this rea on deep
soils are not so easily injured by either ex-
IRENE as shallow ones are.

The Star West Sale.

Yesterday the sale Of the Star West mine,
which We prematurely announced a few days
ago, was successfully consummated. The
mine was owned by Mr.. Rolla Butcher, of
whom it was bonded by Passage & Rice, who
have for several months past been working it
with considerable profit. To-day the bond
would have expired, and in order to retain
control of the property Messrs. Passage g.
Rice concluded TO pay the amount of the
bond, which was $4,000. Yesterday the
transfer papers were made out and signed
and the sale effected. 1t is understood that
Immediately thereafter the property was re-
sold to Mr.. Williams, of the Colorado-Mon-
tana Smelling Company, who will at once put
on a force Of men to extract ore and open up
the mine. The ore is of that peculiar quality
necessary fer cheap and easy reduction by
the smelling process, and as there is said to
be a 7-foot body to work upon, a large num-
Der of ions will be extracted daily. Messrs
Passage q Rice claim that there is now in
sight enough ore to pay for the mine.

JUDITH .


Two letters were received yesterday in this
city by different parties stating that important
Developments have recently been made in the
judith Basin country. The aim of the men
now prospecting in that region has been to
reach bedrock, as a general idea existed that
at that depth gold in paying quantities would
be discovered. So much dead work has
been done, however, that it was thought the
attempt to find the precious metal would be
futile. 1t is therefore particularly gratifying
TO announce on the strength of the two letters
received yesterday that the apprehension was
not well grounded. One letter stated that
SIX pans of dirt, taken from the bottom
OF the Hackshaw drain at bedrock,
which has lately been reached, banned one
dollar and fifty cents, or at the rate of twenty
hve cents per pan. The second letter con-
tanned similar information regarding another
claim in which bedrock had also been struck.
This news, if well corroborated, will un-
doubtedly cause a stampede to the Judith
Basin. For several weeks, however, prospec-
tors would do well not to venture into the
country. The snow is deep, provisions are
high and there is no hotel or other accommo-
dations and until the statements contained in
these letters are shown to be true of other
CLAIMS in the district, it is to be hoped that no
stampede will occur. The MINER will take
pains to keep posted on the developments and
as soon as gold is discovered beyond dispute
i'll sufficient quantities to Justify a stampede,
our readers shall be notified in regard to the
matter.

Runaway.

A very spirited runaway occurred Yesterday
morning, which caused widespread alarm
wh''e it lasted. The buggy team of Mr.. Lee
W. Foster had just been harnessed to that
vehicle, when through Unborn clssedness the
animals struck off on a dead run. though
fortunately the buggy was empty. Passing
north through the alley from the rear of
Fosters store to the street, the mad steeds
abrupt turned the corner and tore down the
middle of Main street at a pace that would
have made Goldsmith Maid green with envy.
In considerably less than a moment they had
arrived at Owsley Il Mantle's corner, which
they turned at right angles. and, lost to all
sense of self respect, pursued their frantic
course down Park street. They were finally
halted and the damage was found to be less
was supposed. The horses were in no
way injured, and the breakage of the buggy
will not cost more than twenty dollars to re-
pair.

Another Mining Sale.

On Monday. another important mining sale,
the second withinthe week, was consummated
in this city, Mr.. T. c. Meader, of the New
York Copper Company, being the purchaser.
The property consists of 175 feet on the
Mountain lode, now being worked under Mr..
headers direction, and at the present time
that section of the ledge is said to be in excel
lent shape. The Mountain is a copper mine,
and has been in process of active development
for some time past and is now producing a
large quantity of high grade copper ore. The
175 feet purchased OF Monday is an extension
of the Mountain ledge and is a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the company. The consideration
is stated to be $4,000. Mr.. A. W. Barnard
was the former owner of the property.

New York Metal Market.

The New York Mining Record, of the 10Th
inst, contains the following concerning the
state of the metal market:
Trade continues to halt, and for lack of all
imation the market still generally presents a
quiet aspect. The demand is sluggish and in
most instances values are nominal. The bus
mess which under ordinary circumstances
would have been spread over several months
was unduly compressed into a few weeks Of
unprecedented activity and prices were pushed
up beyond a normal basis. The natural re-
suit is now being experienced, and trade can
scarcely be expected to quicken until the
effect of this over-tradingh has been neutralized
by the regular course of consumption.
Lead.-Them market has declined and at the
lower range of prices established, buyers have
taken a considerable amount of stock. Sales
aggregate about 500 tons Common Domestic
at 81 down to 81 cents, the market closing
quiet and steady at the latter figure. The
jobbing demand continues moderate, but
manufacturers generally report a good bust
ness. The reaction from the recent high level
at which values have been maintained was by
no means unexpected, and is merely a natural
and therefore healthy decline in consequence
of long existing dizziness. Corroding is nom
inally quoted at 81 cents.
Copper.-The market has been irregular
and easier in consequence of the deliveries
which fell due early in the week, and some
purchases were made at 235 cents, but
the market since then has been steadier. and
there is now no stock Obtainable below 23s
cents, while the Lake companies are not sell
erS below "a cents. But few fresh trausac-
tlons have TRANSFERRED and the aggregate does
not exceed $4,000 pounds. The London mar
ket is unchanged.

Little

A gentleman once had occasion to hire a
coachman, and put all the candidates for the
place through a competitive examination,
which consisted of the following questions :
"Suppose that you were driving my carriage
alongside of a prscipice-how near could you
go to the edge without going OFF," One of
the candidates thought he could drive with
in two feet of the edge; another knew he
could go within a foot still another said
with the utmost cheerfulness that he could
take the carriage within six inches and still
be safe. Finally there was a prudent man
who shook his head and said he should keep
as far away from the precipice as possible.
The argument of General Grants support
ers, if we understand it, is that they can
take the Republican party within six inches
OF the precipice of defeat, and still save it.
They admit that there is a strong sentiment
against a third term, but insist that General
Grant can pull through. Why is it necessary
to put the party in such jeopardy? There
are in the United States probably not less
than one thousand Republicans who are
capable Of performing the duties of the
Presidency safely and well. Why should
we select as our candidate the one man out
of the one thousand who will put the party
upon the defensive from the beginning of the
campaign to the end.-N, Y. Tribune.

Police Court.

In the Police Court yesterday the man was
tried who on the day before undertook to
sharpen a circular wood saw while in motion,
to the imminent danger of his life and to the
serious detriment of the saw. In his defence
he tried to prove the feasibility of his idea,
stating that at various periods in his career
he had successfully sharpened circular saws
without stopping the machinery, and he ap-
peared confident of his ability to repeat the
exploit. His Honor expressed no doubt as to
his veracity or good sense, but nevertheless
fined him SIS and costs for attempting to carry
his theory into practice against the expressed
