About this time look out tor borers in
fruit trees. Most of them were deposited
in the form of eggs on the bark Of the
tree, near the ground, in June or July,
and these have now hatched and begun to
penetrate the tree. but have not entered
so far that they cannot be easily taken out
with the point of knife, or punctured by
the insertion of a fine wire into the hole
they have made, which can be easily found
by the castings each has thrown out be-
hind him. 1t is suggested that the
strips of tarred paper and the pa
tent arrangements for preventing the
ascent of the canker worm are looked
upon with favor by the beetle, that is the
parent of the apple borer. as furnishing
an excellent retreat in which to hide while
she deposits her eggs. She wants Sc
cret place, or she desires to be sheltered
from the wind. and upon this account there
are not apt to be as many borers in a tree
growing in ground kept well cultivated
and free from weeds, as in those standing
in grass or high weeds, or surrounded by
suckers. 1t will be well. therefore. to
examine also under the paper.

been partially worked before, and struck
some good pay, where about 37l cents to
the pan was obtained, that the gold is in

piping awhile they cleaned up and obtain ex

good that the greater portion of the bar will
turn out fair compensation for all the money
| expended in bringing water from Slate creek
upon the bar, and all the labor incident to
mining. Should his hopes be realized the
enterprise will induce work by many others
upon the different bars of that river and the
aggregate yield will revive all mining indus
tries III that section.

had returned to the post about $50 am , his

had attempted suicide by shooting himself
with his carbine. The ball had passed
through all of his clothing, striking him in
the left breast, and passing out under the
left arm. The gaurd was notified and the
man was taken to the hospital, where he
now lies in critical condition.
