THE wheat average per acrein Holland is
said to be the largest in the world. This shows
what rk will do when we reflect that
vast area of swamps has been made the
most Productive field of the world. But
there the whole country has been cut up
into small farms, which it is possible to
Guilty 4te TO the highest standard. Until
the immense plantations Of the south am
southwest are divided up in the same way
and worked by their individual proprietors,
we can never hope to reach anything like
.he cauacIty OF our soils.

the poor fellows are deeply i'm need of

The Penobscot.

On last Friday afternoon, our reporter
received an invitation from Jim Clark
to take a ride out to the Penobscot and
as a free ride is one Of the many things
that a reporter can't refuse he accepted
and was well paid for the trouble. The
mine, under the able management OF
Messrs. Fortune and Sutherland, is
being thoroughly e>eloped, and Mr..
Fortune intimates that ii is his inten
ton to know just what he has got before
any expensive machinery will be erect
ed. In this, as in many other ways, Mr..
Fortune shows that he is an experience
ed and sensible operator in mines, as
the erection Of mills, etc. on u~ndevelop-
ed property, has and always will be a
detriment to property as well as to the
community in which they are located.
The Penobscot, however. is not what
one could call an ~undeveloped mine,
On the surface the ore was in innumer-
able stratas sandwiched in with layers
Of slate, these have been followed down,
and in the bottom of the open cut,
which is 80 feet deep by 60 square, have
consolidated into one solid vein OF
quartz showing "a width of 90 feet. A
shaft from the bottom of the open cut is
now being sunk and is down about Al
feet showing a of quartz about a
foot or two wide which is alive with
free gold and prospects up in the hun
dreds. A tunnel will be started in near
the mill which will tap the shaft and
the main body Of quartz 100 feet below
the surface. The mill erected by the
former owners is being used TO prospect
with, and 10 tons taken from the open
cut gave an average of $3.50 per ton.
There is now enough Of this ore i'm sight
to keep 40 stamps running for a year or
two. However, prospecting will be con
tinued for the next two or three months,
when, if the present condition of things
holds out, and its a safe bet that it viii,
a 40-stamp mill will be erected. That
Mr.. Fortune is Of the same opinion is
proven by the fact that a gang Of wood
cutters are kept steadily at work, and
ven now have about 300 cords cut and
piled whiting convenient distance Of the
mill, and by the first ofJuly our readers
may expect to zee the new mill in
course Of construction.

Rev. Ira Wakefield is meeting with
rather peculiar, though not pleasant adj
ventures, while performing his duties as
pastor for Custer, Hill City. and Rocker
vile. The latest and most sensational
one occurred last Saturday as the elder
was returning from Hill City on horse
back, When within 4 short distance of
Custer he was aroused from a revery in
which he was INDUCING by the report e
a pistol and the whistle Of a bullo1
which lodged itself in a telegraph poll
near by, this was followed by thrc8
more reports and three more leades
pills, which whistled' unpleasantly neas
Upon turning in the saddle Rev. Wax
field found that the messengers cam
from a pistol in the hands of q horsl
man who was approaching from tn
a He Immediately pulled up an
waited for the horse, pistol and man q
come along side, which they did, an4
the man, who was a stranger to the
elder, pulled out another instrument OF
destruction in the shape Of a one-barrel-
ed whisky bottle and requested the
pleasure Of shooting the elder in the
neck. Rev. Wakefield declined, saying
that he was a Good TempIar, and not
addicted to the soul destroying habit.
The stranger, not belonging to that or
der and having no particular regard for
that part of his system called soul,
emptied the contents down his own
throat and then informed the elder that
he had been trying to overhaul him
yer since he left Hill City, merely for
company's sake, and his lungs being
weak he had resorted to his revolver as
a surer means Of making him hear and
hold up. Fortunately no harm was
Gone, but We would warn the stranger
that while he may mean well enough, il
is rather a dangerous way Of doing bust
ness, as a person called in that unccr-
enormous way is liable, if he be armed,
to return the compliment, thinking that
he is in danger Of losing his life, and il
the n who fred the first shot-merely
to attract attention-should happen to
get a bullet through him no one would
be to blame but himself.
