~ ZINES reporter who visited the
principal mines and mining properties
on Deer Creek, few DAYS ago. fur.
nlshes the following resume of what
he saw:
during the season Of 1881, Deer
Creek frst began to attract the atten-
ton of any considerable number of
prospectors, but it was not until after
the first of August, of that year, that
any ore was extracted and prepared
for shipment, and by the end of the
shipping season FIVE small lots, aggre-
eating nearly SO tons, had been
shipped. The 'sclose" season proved
to have been well named, as far as
Deer Creek was concerned, as with
the first fall of snow all work on the
mines was discontinued, not single
claim or prospect being worked during
the winter.
Last summer was well advanced
before work was resumed, and then
only on few claims. But Deer
Creek has nevertheless made a good
showing this year, as her mines yield
ed about $50 tons of shipping ore,
besides large quantity Of second and
thrd-class ore. Following is a state
ment showing the quantity of ore
shipped from each Of the six yielding
mines:

lhls makes a total production OF
nearly 800 tons of first-class ore for
the season, although this year, owing
to various causes, it scarcely lasted
three months on Deer Creek, as the
very first snow of early October drove
everybody away except the settlers
and miners who intended to remain
through the winter. Averaging these
! 800 tons at 100 ounces, and so per
cent. lead-certainly a moderate es-
tmate-and we have yield Of over
100000 for Deer Creek, for season
of scarcely three months-as against
hardly $4,000 for the year 1881. If
present appearances can be relied
upon Deer Creeks yield will be quin-
tupled next year, and she will take her
place second only to Bullion as a pro-
ducing gulch, with yield exceeding
ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
That this is not an exaggerated state
ment will be admitted by all who are
conversant with the Deer Creek mines
and thoir owners. This year quite a
number of the claims changed hands
such as the Narrow Gauge Group, for
$4,000 to Mr.. Farwcll, of Chicago,
and the Wolftona, for $4,000 to a
Philadelphia Company-and the own
ers did not complete their arrange
ments for resuming operations until
late.
For while last summer nearly 2oo
men were employed on Deer Creek.
This number has now dwindled down
to about so, which will be the regular
winter force, as follows:

ELECTRICITY.

Prof. Tice is an authority on electric
ity, which he claims to be the motive
power of the universe. Everything"
he says, els moving; nothing stands
still, nothing is stationary, the moving
impulse being electricity. It moves
your hand, it moves all the planets in
their orbits. According to some, the
Creator hurled those vast obs into space
and they were set moving, but the prim-
tive impulse was electricity, the prime
cause of all motion. It is unquestiona-
bly, the motive power. We have the
earth moving eighteen miles and six
tenths in second, around it's orbit !;
electricity is the cause. Electricity is
convertible into light and heat, and the
time Will come when electricity will be
our fuel. But there is no way of storing
1t up for use. It has been given out in
the public press that some one is storing
it. That is an impossibility. If he has
done anything he has some chemical
element that will not act on something
else. Electricity will have to be evolved
by either decomposition or recomposi-
ton, which must he done before electric
ity is evolved. Water will become the
source of fuel; the lakes and rivers will
be reservoirs Of fuel wherever you have
cheap method of producing electricity.
Electricity is the soul of the universe.
You can't tell what it is any more than
you can the soul of man. Your pro-
fessors know nothing about it, except
what they get from books. The so-callel
scientific men retard instead of ad-
vancing truth. The whole theory of the
Old lightning-rod is wrong. They try to
accomplish an impossibility."

WHERE WE GET OUR HAVANA:

"What is seed-leaf tobacco ?" 'Weu.
sir, that which is known as seed-leaf
tobacco is tobacco grown from the seed
originally brought here from Havana
the home Of the finer tobacco of the
world. The seed is transplanted in our
soil, and often one or two crops from the
original seed, after it has reached it's ex-
cellence in quality. This excellence in
flavor, which is much like Havana
growth itself, continues through several
crops, but finally deteriorates, when it
becomes necessary to renew the seed
again. The first crop from seed trans
planted from Havana is not usually as
good as the second, third or fourth.
Just why I can scarcely tell, except it be
the effect of the difference in soil and
climate" "Where is seed-leaf tobacco
grown in this country?" "In Connec-
ticut, Pennsylvania-these being the
most popular kind-New York, Ohio
and Wisconsin. "-Znterview with a

"My father" said Gilhooly, solemnly,
"was more sensitive to colds than any,
body I ever knew. The slightest ex-
posure gave him cold" "That must
have been very disagreeable" Indeed
it was. He never could sit near a
draught for minute without catching
cold. remember on one occasion he
was sitting in the office of a friend;
all at once my father began to sneeze.
He insisted that there was draught in
the room. Every effort was made to
discover where the draught was, but in
vain. The doors and windows were
closed and there was no fireplace, but
my father kept on sneezing and insisting
there must be draught in the room,

HOW THE POOR LIVE IN MEXICO.

No description can give an adequate
idea OF the extreme poverty and search
ty OF comforts among the mass of the
Mexican people. Their houses are
built of adobe large mud-brick, dried
IN the sun, and laid in mud mortar)
covered with matched roof, without
floors or window-glass, containing one,
sometimes two rooms, and generally de-
void OF furniture. The cooking is usu-
ally done outside, under a small
thatched awning. Cooking stoves are
unknown, save among a few OF the
Weather class, and some foreigners.
Earthenware cooking utensils are ex-
clusively used, and are of the most
primitive kind. Meals are served on
mat made of grasses spread upon the
floor; all the family squat around it,
and help themselves. No chairs, no
table, no knives and forks. A dish of
beans, possibly some dried beef, and
the ever-present tortillas constitute the
repast. This latter article is made from
corn meal, ground between two stones,
and IS prepared fresh for every meal.
1t is then made into stiff dough, from
which round fiat cakes are worked out
by the hand to about the size of an or
binary cake of pilot bread. This is then
baked on an earthenware griddle; the
cake is thin and bakes quickly. This
latter, with beans, constitutes the prin-
cipal diet of the poor. Butter is I'M
known, and few ever get coffee. Goats
milk is used instead of that from the
COW. from preference, as there are
plenty Of COWS in the country, but they
are esteemed only for breeding. The
poor wear cotton clothing altogether,
and if it is cold, blanket or shawl
half wool and half cotton-is thrown
over the shoulders. The drink is mes
cal. This is a liquor distilled from the
maguey plant, and tastes very much
like Scotch whisky. It is the national

STEAM FLOWING.

The steam pillow, which has long been
in use by English farmers, is now
being introduced into Dakota. A de-
scription of one may not be uninterest-
ing. Two enormous traction engines
are placed about 300 to 500 yards apart.
Beneath each engine, and bolted to the
boiler, is steel drum about five feet in
diameter. To these drums is attached
a steel cable about three-quarters of an
inch in diameter, 500 yards long, and cap
able Of sustaining weight of thirty tons,
which drags the pillow to and fro across
the field. The pillow is framework of
iron resting upon two large wheels; on
each side of this frame are firmly fixed
six plows with Golfers that cut six fur
rows sixteen inches wide each time the
machine crosses the field. On the
arrival of the pillow at the end of the
furrow the gauge changes position, and
the plows that have been in the air are
lowered and ready to start back. One
man is sufficient to guide the pillow,
and, seated over the body of the ma
chine, directs one of the two large
wheels in the furrow last turned by
means of hand-wheel. Each engine
is about forty-horse power, and weighs
about sixteen tons. When the pillow
reaches one side of the field, the engine
on that side moves ahead eight feet, the
operation taking three and one-half
minutes only, and the pillow is started
back to the other side of the field. The
pillow will break from twenty-five to
thirty-five acres per day, according to
the soil, location and lay of the land,
etc. It is also used for narrowing.
