The Ramsdell-Parrot Making Prepare
ions to Resume Work.
Interest in this mining industry is on the
increase in Montana instead Of being on
the decrease, as 10 nearly always the case
at this time OF the season on account OF the
approach of cold weather. The. cause for
the activity at present is the advance in
the price Of copper and silver; and in order
to take advantage of this many OF the
mines in and about Butte which have been
idle for several months past are making
preparations to resume operations. The
Ramsdell. Parrot, which is known to con-
tain vast bodies Of copper-silver property
was located by Joseph Ramsdell, it's pres.
emit owner. Oct. Ia, 1864, being one
Of the first quartz locations made
in the camp. There are three veins
OF ore in the claim, two south and
one north, the latter being about 80 feet
in width. Tae ore contains copper, silver
and gold, the latter being visible to the
shaft is 500 feet deep, and on the north
side crosscuts and levels have been run
every 100 feet. The mine has not been
operated since about the first OF Septem-
Der, the price OF copper being so low at
that time that Mr.. Ramsdell concluded to |
close until better prices prevailed. Last
the timbers Of the shaft showed
signs OF decay after doing service for thir-
teen years and new ones were put in. The
is now in first-class condition, but
some OF the levels below need repairing,
and this work and that Of clean.
ing them up is now going on. It
will be about Jan. 1 before the mine will
be in condition to permit Of the extraction
Of ore from its lower levels. In 1869 con-
siderable ore was taken from the mine
and hauled by wagon to Corrinne, Utah,
and from there it was sent by rail to Bal.
for treatment. This was the first
ore ever shipped from the camp.
Only q few feet west Of the shaft Of the
Parrot is the Shakespeare Frac-
which has also lately been started
ap. Some ore is being hoisted to the sur
ace, but the principal work now going on
Q that of limb ring and otherwise making
he workings sale. Between the shaft on
he shakespeare and the shaft on the
aamsdell-P Parrot the first shaft ever sunk
n the camp was put down to q depth Of
100 feet by Joseph Ramsdell. This
lole has been filed with waste.

Clever Propagatiug of the Rose.

In the spring of 1887, w. w. Coles, of
Lansdowne, Pa, bought from Craig &
Bro, for one dollar, thrifty young plant
of the celebrated rose, Mrs. John Laing.
By skillful handling it developed into a
fine plant, and grew so satisfactorily that
Walter could not resist the temptation of
calculating how many young 'Laings" he
would have the following spring. One
day in July, 1887, Mr.. Coles met John
Burton, and the subject came up in con-
versation as to how many young rose
plants could be raised from one stock
plant In one season. forgot how many
Mr.. Burton said he thought it was posi-
bic to raise, but Mr.. Coles very emphati-
cally asserted that he could raise $50 by
the following April 1SSS). This was just
as vigorously disputed until wager was
proposed champagne supper for those
present-which was accepted and put on
record.
The plant continued to improve, and, as
the time for operations approached, stocks
suitable for grating had to be secured, for
there were no restrictions as to how the
propagating should be done, either by
grating, budding or on own roots. After
some slight difficulty the necessary num-
Der of Manetti stocks were obtained, and
on December oath the first lot of plants
were grated, amounting in number to
something less than $50; most of them
grew and made rapid growth. In the fol-
lowing February these plants yielded a
number of scions considerably over 1000,
and on the day specified, namely, April 10,
1888, Mr.. Coles had the extreme satisfac-
ton of pointing out to the referee, John
Westcott upwards of thirteen hundred
plants fit to ship to any point in this coun-
try.-American Florist.

SONGS UNsUNG.

Sweet the song of the thrush at dawning,
When the grass lies wet with spengled dew,
Sweet the sound of the brook low whisper
Mid reeds and rushes wandering through;
Clear and pure is the west winds murmur
That croops in the branches al day long;
But the songs unsung are the sweetest music,
And the dreams that die are the soul of sons
The fairest hope is the one which faded,
The brightest leaf is the leaf that fell:
The song that leaped from the lips of sirens
Dies away in an old sea shell.
Far to the heights of viewless fancy
The souls swift fight like swallow goes,
For the notes unheard is the birds best carol,
And the bud midtown is the reddest rose
Deepest thoughts are the ones unspoken
That only the heart sense. listening, hears,
Most great joys bring touch of silence,
Greatesbgrief is in unshed tears.
What we hear is the fieetest echo
song dies out, but dream lives on;
the rose-red tints of the rarest morning
Are lingering yet in a distant dawn.
Somewhere, dim in The days to follow,
And tar away in the life to be,
Passing sweet is a song of giadness,
The spirit chant of the soul set free
Chords untouched are the ones we wait for,
That never rise from the harp unstrung
We turn our steps 10 the years beyond u.s.
And listen still for the songs unsung.
