Some years have passed since burn

Some years have passed since burn
ing corn for fuel was practiced to any
extent, but reports from Nebraska say
that farmers there have this winter
figured the matter out to their own sat-
isfaction and are confident that it is
cheaper to burn corn than it is to sell it
and buy coal. Soft coal is worth in that
State about % cents bushol, and corn
does not find ready sale in the rural
markets for more than IL cents. Ex-
periments have shown that two bushels
of corn will produce more warmth than
one bushel of coal, and farmers are thus
burning the former and saving them
selves the trouble of hauling it to market
and drawing the coal home again.

A deal was made few days ago in
Philadelphia, between several compan-
les by which limit is to be placed on
the output and mining of coal for the
ensuing year. This means the preven-
ton of competitor and the maintenance
of high prices to consumers. The same
LAY in Pittsburg big deal was made in
oil lands by which the production is to
be restricted as long as prices are low.
There ought to be stringent criminal
laws to prevent the monopolists from
making such combinations by which
competition is destroyed and high pri-
ces is enforced on consumers.

Upon the LIST of January, Greenwich
observatory, which furnishes official
time to the British government, will
abandon the twelve hour system and be-
ginning at midnight of the 31st of De-
cember count the hours from one to
twenty-four. This system will then 60
into use in all the government Offices.
The railroads are also expected to adopt
the new system. This change in noting
time has been strongly advocated in the
United States and may be eventually
adopted in this country. It is a ques-
ton OF time only, for the present prac-
tice of counting twelve hours of the
twenty-four, or half day, and the same
over again for the other half smacks Of
absurdity. It will take a new genera
stion of people. however, before the new,
style will seem as natural as the old.

A figure tall and slender,
A pair of trousers tight;

A necktie very bright
A mustache curled and waxed,
A collar three inches high,
A pair of CATERS painted,
A "glarse" on the left eye.
Its hair parted in the middle,

A cane it always carries
And on the mash is based;
It wears tan-colored kid gloves,
And sports diamond stud,

Mining in OuijOtOa.

A private letter from Quiiotoa gentle man of this city, says: "Ilmes are be- ginning to be better than they have been for a year past. The Bonanza Company have about one hundred men employed. Hank Smith. the SGperin- tendant, says he will have the 20-stamp mill finished by September 1st, if he has no drawbacks. There are no idle men in camp. One great intolerance IS that the owners of the adjoining claims, many of which have just as good surface indications as the bonanza group had, are not doing anything to develop their claims. All hands seem to be laying back on their ores, waiting te see what success the Bonanza Company will have before doing any thing for them selves. The Bonanza men have made big developments. Over a milesot tun- nels, drifts, winZss. upraises and cuts and cross-cuts have been made, and an immense amount of ore stOped and sorted. An automatic tramway has been constructed to haul the ore to the mill A double compartment we'll has been sunk in the valley, five miles east of the mill stfording an abundant sup ply of the best water, which will be pumped to the mill. The mill itself will have twenty stamp, with capacity of sixty. When the company gets to producing bullion the others will follow suit. In fact everything indicates prosperity."-LOs Angelss Express.
