of accomplishment, notwithstanding the
! fact that Miner channel does not connect
with Mormon channel until they unite
near Linden. In other words, the consent
of all parties interested has been gained to
dam an unnamed water course nearly as

Everything is favorable this season for
| the finest array OF natures products at the
exhibition to be held here from October 4th
| to 7th. The association is well en-
| dowed by the State, has good grounds,
good buildings, and is manned by Board
of Directors composed of our best business
men. The season has been an exceptional
one, and. although grain is comparatively
! light, the warm sunshine so literally be-
slowed upon US has probably compensated
| the producer IL the more perfect develop
ment of his fruits and vegetables and
other products. Taken as whole the
season has been a profitable one to the
! tiller OF the soil, and this alone should
stimulate him to compare the results OF his
methods with those of his neighbors.-

Latest Meadow Lakes mining notes are
| that the Cisco Consolidated are putting up
their mill, and employ quite number of
hands. This company is developing their
mine with all possible speed. They say
they have good ore. At Carlisle the Mas
sachusetts Consolidated mine have recently
put more men at work The recent devei-
opinents lead them to believe they have a
veritable bonanza. J. Hanks, the mining
expert from San Francisco, recently visited
the mine He was sent there by the CON-
pany to make report of the condition of
the mine and its prospects. His report is
very fiatteIing. j. L. Lewiston & CO., of
| Truckee, have been working the u. S.
Grant and other mines at Carlisle during
the season. They work about one and a
half tons of ore per day. Although work
ing under many disadvantages this season,
they have made a good cleanup and paid a
small dividend to the owners of the mine.
The Pullman, Sunny South, and Texas
mines are left in charge OF Dick Groom.
John Timmons, New York mining eX-
pert lately visited these mines. They are
not being worked at present. The owners
have made trial of the Gould process,
with moderate success.
Mr. Green, of HOLSTER, San Benito
county, who last ear was successful in
preserving one hundred tens of stock feed
in the shape of ensilage, is this year con-
structipg silo of five hundred tons Ca
pacity, to be filed with chopped fodder.
In speaking of the ersilage Of last year,
the HOLSTER AdUaace says: Dat of the
one hundred tons of food which he pre-
served last year, not one hundred
pounds were lost. During the whole
experiment it was perfectly preserved,
and better, in his estimation, than
when fed. fresh and green from the
field Stock eat il up eagerly and
clean, leaf and stock, without any
loss whatever, and stock thus fed, he
finds, exhibit the highest condition of
health and thrift. For mich COWS, to
which he mainly fed it. it surpasses any
other food he has ever tried. 1t increases
the quantity of milk much beyond dried
food. and the quality is much better than
that produced from the same fodder when
fed fresh and green from the same field.
This, Mr.. Green thinks. is owing to the
fact that it does not scour or bloat the ami
mails, while it retains its natural juices and
nutritious qualities in The most digestible
form. At any rate, his experiments this
year will be conclusive, and will be watched
with interest all over this coast.
