The pro- posed changes and the making of the draw bridge will delay the completion of the work some six weeks which is much to be regretted.
 We are informed by the general freight agent of the Southern Pacific railroad con- pany that that company will not carry any freight to tine Needles until the 1st of July next. The nearest point at which they are BOW delivering freight is Golf Station, 4 ary freight from San Francisco to that place is S2.3 per 100 pounds.
 The boarding train moved up to Saca+one Flat, where the present settlement at the Needles now is, yesterday.
 The end of the track was four miles from the river bank fast Thursday, but the track comes up the river eight miles before the bridge is reached, thus making twelve miles in all to reach the bridge.

 Considerable work is being done on the Silver Clipper mine in Cedar district, owned by Matt. Carr. A shaft has been sunk on the ledge to the depth of 80 feet, exposing.a good two foot of ore at the bottom. At this point drift has been started and is now in about twenty feet in ore. There are about twenty tons of high grade ore on ths dump, which it is claimed will go over S50t to the ton, besides a large quantity of lower grade.

OUR MINES.
San Francisco District.
Enormous Ledges of Free Gold
 Ore.

San Francisco district is situated in wha
 Is known as theUniOn Pass range of noun
 talns and occupies an area of about ten mile
 square: Most of it's prominent mines ar
 located about the centre of tho district at
 distance of from eight to twelve miles cas-
 of Fort Mohave, on the navigable waters o
 the Colorado river, which is capable of sup
 plying water for the most extensive milling
 operations. The river is easily accessible | from the mines over good and natural
 road down wash of easy grade. Timber
 and wood are scarce near the mines but al
 unlimited supply may be 1Oated down the
 Colorado river at very trifing cost, and |;
 good article of biturainous coal can be shit.- ped by the Atlantic and Pacific railroad fo: about $6 per ton. Yucca Station on the A. 1 P. Railroads is distant from the district about IA miles, a good wagon rrad, known as the old Real road, being already built ove the mountain to the railroad. The forma tion of the district consists of granitic-por phyry, intersected by narrow dikes of basal and trachyte of rough fracture, owing its roughness of surface largely to the grains of glassy feldspar which mainly constitute 1t. The strike of all the mineral bearin, veins Ill this district is east and west with S southerly dip, the vein filling or gangue con- sists of friable quartz, varying from whit, to deep brown color and carrying free gOlC alloyed with more or less silver. The prin cipal mine in the district, as we'll in sizt ind richness as in the amount of work don upon it, is the old
 MoNTEZUMA MINE, FORMERLY THE MOSS, which is owned by O. F. Kuencer, Caldwel Wright, J. $. Curtis and Charles Zeimer It s an.enormous outcrop and can be seen distance ot twenty miles or more ano stretches ill continuous line for at Isas, 1000 feet. There are five claims of 1900 fee, each located on this ledge, and although tn, richest ore chimney shows on what is knowl IS the MOntezuma, specimens of free oolt can be found at almost any point along the face of the outcrops. It is a true fssur vein, with dip of about 75e to the souti and varies in width or thickness from 20 t, 50 feet between it's walls. The westerly enc of the Tod is the largest and most promis- ing portio n. Here shaft has been sunk to 4 depth of over hundred feet from the tor of the croppings, at the bottom of whicl crosse uts, run north and south, expose [ body some forty feet in width of good free milling gold ore. The outc roppings are in- tersected by veins of a dark red quartz 1 varying from few inches to two and three | feet and assaying from fifty dollars to wa, up in the thousands. TEe mine has been | sx amined by Prof. B. Sllliman, Prof. l. E. l Clayton and mining engineer J. W. Nils, of New York,-2entlemen whose long ex- perience in the management of mining in terests entities their statement to be ac- ;epted as conclusive regarding the value of a mine-and they all concur that there cal be no doubt of the great value and perman- ence of this property.

 nd Jas. Twiggs, This claim lies two mil $ ,outh of Hardy's tunnel an1 the crOpp ngs show ledge about fifteen feet wide of free gold ore, average assays of the entire width
 the vein being SOS in free gold,
 Other prominent claims owned by tEe same parties are the New Hamp hire with a fourteen foos ledge assaying s6.50 in gQlC
 nd S4 25 25 ip silver; the Minnetonke, lyin northeast of the New Hampshire. aud t;,e :sin9lass, about two miles east of the Mol . :ezuma. On these claims very little work aas been done outside of the regulation as- Iussment work.
 Another claim worthy of mention is the Leland, about six miles south of the Monte zuma. On this mine two tunnels have been run in on the lead exposing an ore body three feet wide which assays S30 to the toI in free gold.
 While as a rulA t'e ore veins in the Sn Francisco district ara low grade. except n he instance Of the Montezuma min, from which pockets of ore have been taken assay ing as high as $54, 600 to the ton, the i'm nense width of the ledges more than com. ,en5ates for it. Mining in thls part of M nave county is almost at a standsti.I fol want of suitable reduction works, and their erection is only 6 matter Of time. From the MOntezuma mine to the banks of the colorado at Hardyville is only nine miles down a natural grade and narrow -guage road or tramway to the river could be con structed at very small outlay and gold mill with the capacity of 100 stamps, erected on the banks of the river, where there would be an abundance of wood and water handy, could be kept running for .an indefinite period with ore from the Montezuma mire alone. We can see no reason why the mines of San Francisco district should not furnish ore enough to keep 800 stamps at work on the Colorado. And all that is needed to start things going is the aid of capital and th't will surely come now that the At lantic & Pacific railroad has opened up this hitherto unknown country and exposed to view It's great mineral wealth.

When Heifers Should Come In

Farmers often hesitate whether to have
their helfers come In at two or at three
years Old This purpose held IN view IN
raising them must decide this question.
Ii the object is to make the best possible
milking animals, it will be better to have
them come IN al two years old. If the
purpose Is to make beet animals as well as
mixers, then it would be preferable to
have them come IN at three years old or
even later. The development of deep milk
ing capacity Is an artificial requirements
to speak. 1t is the result largely of train
ing. 1t is also aided by feeding and
breeding. Manipulation of the udder, as
in hand milking, is the foundation or
starting point, for the very wonderful
milking capacity of the domestic COW.
Ina wild state, the COW, like the buffalo,
gives only milk enough to sustain her
young, and that only tor a few months.
No extra productions OF milk ever occur
IN wild animals, though they are as well
fed and are as healthful and vigorous as
when in domestic state. The cattle
which have been turned out on the PLAINS
of Texas, where they have an abundance
of food the year round, have their milking
qualities run down to low standard in
few generations, showing that hard-milk-
ing is as necessary to sustaining the alb
normal secretion of milk as 1t Is in devel-
oping 1t IN the first place.
Cows derive their milk from the food
they consume, and large quantities Of milk
can only result from high feeding, but such
feeding must be done under standingly and
at the proper time, or II may have an effect
quite the reverse of what Is aimed at and
desired. To feed a COW high when she is
not in mllk-that is, TO give her more than
is necessary to MAINTAIN healthy and Wig
orous condition. quantity which would
produce iattening or an extraordinary de
velopment Of flesh, tends to check rather
than to develop milk secreton.-NattoHal
