What Does the Soil Needle
The reader is ready to ask, How am
and other planters to know what on
soils need to make them produce goot
crops, you say the analysis of the sol
will not tell rs? We reply, resort t.
the plant analysis. Ask your soil Sc
ries of questions such as the following
Do you need potash? Do you need
ammoniaP Do you need phosphoric
acid, or do you need any two or all Of
theseP How shall ask these questions,
and how will I interpret the reply {
Select plat of land which will repre-
sent fairly your soil, or several such
plats, if you have soils differing materi-
ally in character and supposed compo
sition. Next get few pounds of muir
ate of potash, a few pounds of sulphate
OF ammonia, and some high grade
superpho: plate or acid phosphate. If
you have State Department having
supervision of fertilizers, you can get
those already inspected and analysed.
Ask the chemist of your State College,
or your Commissioner of Agriculture, to
suggest the quantities of each of these
elements to apply per acre, and then
apply to one plat, say three rows sixty
feet long. only potash; to three others,
only phosphoric acid to three Others
only ammonia; to three others, potash
and phosphoric acid ; to three others,
phosphoric acid and ammonia and to
still another three, all three of
these elements, leaving three rows in
the center of the plat with
out the application of any manure
whatever. If your soil needs nothing
but phosphoric acid, it will say so by
giving the largest yield where phos-
phoric acid is used, whether alone or in
combination. If it needs two of the
elements, that combination will give
best results. If it needs all three. or
the so-called complete manure, the plat
on which all were used, will show best
results. If individuals cannot afford to
undertake these inquiries, let clubs
combine to bear the expense, and i'm
pose the investigation on their most
careful and accurate observer. If this
cannot be done, insist upon your Com
missioner of Agriculture selecting care.
I'll men in different parts of your State
to conduct the inquiry under his direc-
ton, he to supply the material, &c..
and publish results. If you have a
General Assembly with intelligence and
craftsmanship enough, get them to es-
tabllsh one or more experimental sta
lions IN yomr State with your moaev
which you pay for the support of your
government, to be administered by vouy
seronmts(D. If you farmers who read
and think and know the needs of the
productive industries of your States,
will WELD the influence you should and
can if you will, you can instruct your
brethren of the pillow first, and then
your servants acho make tie laars.-Sopth.

The conclusions from the statements above
made, which come to the newspaper man as well
as the general public, must be two-fold. First
that modern miracle of healing has been per-
formed in our midst, and that too, by tile
simplest means and one which is within the
reach of every one; and secondly, that testi-
monisls of such high character and TO out
spoken in tone conclusively prove the value of
the remedy and it's superior nature to the pro-
prietary al ticles with which the public have
been flooded "The greater includes the
less" And the remedy which has been proven
so valuable and has saved life after it was
brought down to deaths door, must unques-
tionably be certain in all minor troubles, which
are SO disastrous unless taken In time

very volatile compound and, unless
great care is taken, will be totally lost.
1t will also require large amount of
salt to chloridise the silver, and neces-
sarily some of the base metals. For
most of the ores here from 100 to 200
lbs of salt ton will be required. There
will also be a large loss of mercury,
mostly perhaps che mical loss, as the
mercury will be converted into So
luble chloride from contact with me-
tallic chlorides in the pans.
We most heartily agree with Col.
Kelley with reference to the cheap
treatment of our ores. As it Is now,
in order to get our ores treated nothing
less than hundred ounce ore will pay
the expense of treatment, as Denver
and Pueblo are our nearest markets.
1t is true that we have some ten or hf-
teen mines that yield ore that Will run
up into the thousands, in fact almost
every one that has been developed,
but still there are hundreds of pros
PEGS that will yield probable sixty or
seventy ounces which will be of no
value to the mine owner without a
concentrator here. The completion
of the railroad here will of course
make some difference, but still, that
remedy will not cure the evil entirely,
and our only salvation is to encourage
the erection Of concentrating works.

A description Of the immensely
rich Hopewell vein will be interesting

A description of the immensely
rich Hopewell vein will be interesting
to all and is here given:
The Hopewell is on the same vein
as that of the Ruby Chief, Howard
Extension and other well known
properties in camp, and the crop
pings can be traced on the surface for
several hundred feet. The width of
the vein is about 50 feet, showing
streaks of high grade mineral all
through it, and it is the supposition
Of practical men that at probable
depth of 200 feet these streaks will all
concentrate into one solid vein or
pay streak. The workings Of the
Hopewell consist of a vertical shaft
about 50 feet deep, which was started
about nine feet from the vein, sup
posing that the vein dipped SO de-
grees that they would cut it at depth
Of 50 feet. Two weeks ago they cut
the vein at depth Of 43 feet, expos
ing some very rich ruby silver. The
vein seems to be righted up at this
depth and although the shaft is per
pendicular they will probably work
down on the vein for hundred feet
before it will begin to dip away from
the shaft. The shaft it 4x9 #. in the
clear and well timbered. The first
grade of ore will run I 700 ounces
per ton and is principally the light
red or cochineal ruby. They are
building shaft houses and getting
ready to put in machinery.

BUSINESS.

Tucker & Mackin, the popular hard
ware men, informs us that they have
sold more steel within the last ten days
than they did all last season. That is
evidence that there is immense amount
Of development being done and every
body is bent on seeing the centre of
the earth if possible. We venture to
say tina. there are near two hundred
mining claims around in all the differ
ent basins that are now having work
done upon them, and the owners are
not stopping with the mere annual
assessment Of 500, but for the most
part are gong fifty and a hundred feet.
1t takes time and money to do this,
therefore we may not expect radical
change in our camp this year, not
wlthstanding we are receiving grad
ual, steady growth, but We predict
that within another year or two we
will have one Of the most hourishing
communities as there ever was on the
Pacific slope. Virginia City in its
palmy Gays will be no comparison,
when we get concentrating works here
to treat the ore cheaply, and fifty or
hundred mines producing ore, with
the two railroads running through to
Salt Lake, supplying the whole coun-
try west of the Missouri river to the
Pacific with anthracite coal, Of which
we have an endless quantity, that has
been proved to be superior quality
to that found in Pennsylvania. All
these things will come to pass, but
everybody knows that it takes time
to open up 4 true flssure vein camp.
Remember that there are only about
half dozen mines in camp that have
got depth of "a hundred feet from the
surface, and even now there are thou
sand Of tons Of low grade ore here,
that is utterly vaiueless unless there is
some cheap process got in to treat it.
Messrs. Rose, Reed & Co. who brought
in their sampler last summer, OF coarse
cannot touch thirty and forty ounce Ore,
and it is to be hoped that they will soon
bring in a concentrator which they
talk of doing. The quartz veins here
are all very wide with streaks Of min
eral all through them and small specks
of rich mineral thoroughly permeatng
the whole vein, with usually what is
known as pay streak in the centre
In order to save this mineral the entire
quartz vein has to be treated which
reduces the ratio Of ounces per ton
to what we call low grade ore, say
thirty or forty ounces of silver per
ton. Therefore we have got to have
some process to utilize this grade,
otherwise it will be utterly valueless
to the mine owner.

The Denver E0emng Press, new
evening paper recently started in Den
yer, has found its way to our table.
We find at the head of the editorial
page the name of our old friend, Col.
John D. Elliott as managing editor,
for many years editor and proprietor
of the Austin (Tex.) Gusent. Col.
Elliott spent several months in our
camp last year, looking after his
mining interest, and We think
that with his many years practical
knowledge and able ability as writer,
that the Press is destined to take a
leading position in the journalistic
field Of Denver.

THE STANDARD.

The principal officers of the Stand
ard company are bent on making their
company all its name implies. NJ NJ.
(better known as " Brick y Pomeroy
came into Irwin on the 5th inst, ac-
companled by Ills private secretary
and special artist. On the 9TH, in
company with Manager w. c. Miller
and Superintendent Ed. Leonard and
a number of leading citizens, he in
spected the property of the Standard
company, chief Of which is the Hope
well vein, which is worth millions of
dollars. The boys at the mine ran
their new American flag to the top of
the tall pine staff in honor of the oc-
caslon-lts first appearance. On be-
half Of the citizens of Mille1ton, as
the Hopewell or Standard camp is
called, Miss Josephine Hanson pre-
sented to Mr.. Pomeroy one of its
handsomest and most artistically ar
ranged bouquets Of wild flowers culled
in the woods by her when it was
known that he was to visit the camp.
Miss Hanson is the handsome and
accomplished adopted daughter OF Mr..
John Chestnut and wife, who have
lately came on from Denver to take
charge of the Standard company's
new boarding house.
The day was spent in very care
full examination of the various proper
ties of the Standard company and in
visiting other mines in its vicinity,
and in obtaining pictures Of the mines
and scenery. After returning to the
office Of Manager Miller, in town,
Messrs. Pomeroy, Miller and Leonard
with Jay G. Kelley, of Leadville, had
a consultation as to the working of
the property, especially of the Hope
we'll. To this end, in order to force
the work, two tons and half of giant
powder were that night bought Of
Tucker & Mackin, hardware dealers
of Irwin, and orders given to at once
erect two-story boarding house 25x
IS; an Office and residence for the
superintendent and manager with
rooms for the accommodation of the
directors of the company and their
wives when on visit to the mine /:
the erection Of library building and
reading room that can be used for
lectures on mining and other subjects
at the mines; the erection of large
new shaft house over the Miller shaft
on the Hopewell vein; the putting in
ofa 3o-horse power engine, 5o-hor~e
power boiler, a complete hosting
machine and Cornish or other heavy
pumps the sinking of other shafts on
the Hopewell, and the other proper
ties Of the company.
The idea Of Mr.. Pomeroy, presi-
dent of the company, as of Manager
Miller, is to push work on the Hope
we'll for all it its worth, day and
night to employ the best help that
can be had /; to pay good wages; to
work the Hopewell deep ard system
atically, as will be done with increased
vigor from this time on. The presi-
dent of the Standard has expressed
himself as more than pleased at the
progress of work, and notified that
Treasurer w. c. Miller had greatly
under estimated the value and extent
of the leading mines Of this camp,
among the most promising Of which
is the Hopewell, and is willing to OBJ
tain or furnish all the funds needed to
put the property into the best possible
shape 50 that its output will be at least
one million Of dollars Per year
