FORT MOUNTAIN, IN GEORGIA, YIELDS
GOLD AND SILVER.
The ore Assays $50 10 50, 900 Per Ton.

Special to the Inter-ocean
SPRINE PLACE, Ca, Dec. &C.
The discovery of huge veins Of gold
on Fort Mountain has now been sup
plemented by the discovery of sill
yer in wonderful yield, in conse-
quence CT which there ia great ex-
element in that section, and men
are flocking there from all parts of
the country. The most valuable de-
post yet known is on the land of
Mr.. Tyler, seven miles from this
place and eighteen from Dalton,
which is the nearest poir: to the
railroad. A shaft, feet deep, 4
wide, and 20 long, has been sunk
under the superintendent of an old
miner. The "lead" is at least 500
feet wide, 800 deep, and 2s miles
long, being the same that is now
worked at Dutchtown, Tenn. Here
ore was found at five feet from the
surface as rich as that obtained at
200 feet in the famous "Comstock,"
OF Nevada, assaying from $50 TO
81 600 per ton. 1t is said to be
more advantageously situated than
any mine in the west. 1t will drain
itself to depth of 500 feet, has a
water supply sufficient to operate
ten smelter stacks, and all other ma
chlnery necessary. A railroad will
be constructed TO it from Tiltoh.

is said that ore assaying only 81 per
ton could be worked with larger
profit than $40 ore in the west. Sew

few days since Pennsylvania com
pany offered Messrs. Tyler, Gilbert

mine, S280,000 for it, which offer

G eneraI Farm Notes.

Recent experiments with feeding
| for milk demonstrates that ensilage
gave as much butter as hay, bran and
meal fed together, and, therefore,
ranks as an economical food. 1t is
best, however, to use it as a supple
ment TO other foods. The churning
quality of milk was found to bear no
exact relation to the chemical compo-
Sition, and the churn is therefore the
only reliable implement for deter
mining the butter quality of milk in
practical dairy ing.
A good condition powder for poul-
try, which may be made cheaply, is
composed of the following ingredi-
ents: One pound ground bones, one
pound chalk, two pounds ground
dried meat, one pound charcoal, one
pound linseed meal, one pound fenu
greek, and an ounce of salt, sulphur,
ground ginger and copperas. Mix
intimately, and feed tablespoonful
to six hens, once day in the soft
food.
A writer in a scientific journal
rldicules the idea that apples sweat
aud that they must undergo a sweet
ing process before they are put in
barrels in order to keep well. He
states that only injury comes from
leaving apples in piles in an orchard,
aud that the moisture found on
them comes from the atmosphere
He recommends placing them in
barrels az soon as they are picked
Whatever method of feeding pigs
is adopted, it should be liberal. Let
the quarters be dry and comfortable,
and disturb them as little as possible
Pigs are, in part, alternating ami
mails, aud the more they sleep the
better for them and their owner. A
good hog eats and sleeps alternately.
The Journal of Chemistry states
that the ant is an active and efficient
destroyer of the canker-worm. They
seize the worms, which feed upon
the leaves, and bear them to their
nests in the ground. 1t is claimed
that they also attack the army worm,
He who makes his farm carry ten

when ready to use them, and set the
stalks close together in trench,
with the roots deep. In the spring
these will throw out sprouts that fur
nish nice greens.
Milk, either fresh or sour, butter
milk, skinned milk, mixed with
meal, or in any other form, is just
the thing for fowls 1t will pay bet
ter to give waste milk to fowls than
to pigs.
Lately wheat has been three shil
hngs per quarter lower in London
than it has been for l04 years. Low
as wheat is, it is not much lower than
other products, meats, excepted.
II is estimated that it costs from
$40 to SIS to feed a steer through the
winter, and sometimes as high as
500 when the animal is forced.

n view Of the cost of the Pana

stated that the Suez Canal cost
SlO0,00O,000, and the stock is now
worth four times its par value -
that is, the canal is paying moderate
DIVIDENDS on q sum equal to S400,
100000. There is no reason to
suppose that the revenues across
the American isthmus would be
equal to those of the Suez Canal:
