has already been productive OF much good,
insofar that it has lead to the discovery of
a large body OF high grade ore. existence of
which was unknown. It is expected that
by August 1 the shaft now being sunk will
be down a depth of 200 feet, and at which
distance from the surface it is intended to
begin drifting and crosscutting. The first
thing to be done will be a crosscut between
the incline and vertical shaft for the pur-
pose OF cutting a vein which is known to be
there. Other development work will be
done and the mine opened thoroughly and
systematically.

r.-.-- 49, 6c SLOPE. "a

why OOrh DOcb MOI AoUEhbn on Inc Eacl-
,r-a-s ..f fc Slope. I'm y. --..- ;
From the Virginia City "Chronicle": A
Nevada rancher who had long experience
in farming in Illinois and other corn.rais.
ing states, says. the reason that cereal does
not flourish on the Pacific slope is ON ac-t
count Of the cool nights. On his authority
corn will flourish only in a climate
where the nights are almost as sultry as
the days. In that kind OF a climate it
grows more rapidly at night than in day
time, and'he AYERS that i'd passing through
a field on. unusually hot nights the corn
grows SO rapidly that it can be heard
swapping like the gentle cracking OF a thou
sand whips. The sans authority says he
has known q stalk of corn in Iowa to grow
a new joint in q single ~night-which added.
about six inches to the height of the stalk.
