CHEAP MINING.
The Possibilities of Small Ledges.

The Forest City Tribune has the following
sensible treatise on cheap quartz mining
There are many quartz lodges now lying
idle and partially or wholly undeveloped be-
cause of the idea so prevalent among miners
that it is necessary to work on grand SCALE
They think they are not mining unless they
have twenty-stamp mill, a big ledge and
heavy force of men. The constant cry is
capital, more capital While capital is neces-
sary for working deep mines, low grade ore,
running long tunnels, ETC., yet there are
many lodges in this country owned by poor
men, and held by them in the hope OF
working them in the future, which ought to
be prospected and worked down at least to
the depth of 200 feet without any great out
lay of money, and the rock from which could
be crushed in arastras or by other cheaper
methods than such as involve an expensive
mill and machinery.
Nothing cOnduces more to the general
prosperity of any section of country than an
abundance of laboring men who work fo1
themselves The flush times in California III
early days were caused by the fact that men
could mine for themselves without any pre-
vious outlay OF money. pick and pan was
all that was necessary.
What is needed now in California is a
method of reducing ore at the rate OF, say
one ton in twelve hours, the expense OF
which would be within the reach of poor
man. The good old-fashioned arastra ap-
pearsHto be completely forgotten. horse
powefseould be SO attached to one or two
light stamps as to crush the amount of ore
and vet the expense should not exceed few
hundred dollars We know of ledge that
has yielded $4,000, all of which has been
worked in onestamp mill that cost but
5000. And we are acquainted with mine
the ore from which is all crushed in an aras,
ira which did not cost that much, and which
has Welded good returns to it's owners.

Didn't Want to go to Heaven.

Not far from Hartwell, on the Carolina
side of the river a revival meeting was go
ing on at country church. A party OF
young men were engaged in railroad sur
vey, and could not attend the meeting IN
daytime, but went at night. After stormy
sermon from the preacher, who gave vivid
description of hell, its climate and inhab1-
tants, followed by ared-hot exhortatlon from
one of the brethren, they literally stormed
the fort. One of the railroad fellows was
sitting in the back end of the church, and
the preacher went up to him and said:
"Dont you want to 60 to heaven?"
mo" he replied.
This Mortified the preacher, and he said to
the congregation:
tHere is young man who says he doesn't
want to 90 to heaven. Now, my friend, why
don't you want to 60 to heaven ?"
Because / would have to die to 60 there"

Land in corn-growing parts of England is
falling off in England. A small estate In
one of the eastern counties, which four years
ago was valued at $1250OO, was put up at
auction short time ago, and the highest
price offered for it was $4,000. 1t comprises
400 acres, and was bought in by the trustees.
It is said that in the same part OF England
much arabic land is running to waste tor
want of capital to pay for the labor which
it requires. No farming except grazing and
dairy farming is said now to pay for the out
lays.

Emerson's Philosophy.

The devil is an ass.
No great men are original
Beauty is its own excuse for being.
To be great is to be misunderstood.
What belongs to you gravitates to you.
Great believers are always reckoned inf
dels.
Consistency is the hobgoblin of little
minds
Talent makes counterfeit ties; genius finds
the real ones.
Character is d reserved force which acts
directly by presence and without means.
Every man is a quotation from all his an
cestOrS.
Do you love me? means do you see the
same truth.

THE discovery of the frozen corpses of Captain De Long and his companions, and the recital of the terrible sufferings of the survivors of the Jeannette, have not abated the arctic craze. Several learned lunatics are clamoring for another expedition to be sent forth to meet the hard fate of the Jeannette. If they would spend their money and energy in discovering things that would be of some practical benefit to the world they would do better.
