ll'auper Labor.

The Mcxicans are good miners and can
mine and bcnciiciatc their ores chcaply
and well. They have been working their
mines for 200 years ar more, treating
mainly the frcc-milling ores. In many
places they have worked the claims by
open cuts as far down as frcc-milling
ores existed, and then left them. About
twenty-five miles from Sombrcrete
is one of these open cuts. which is from
fifteen to twenty miles in length. As far
as raising ores are concerned they can do
il as cheaply by hand as we do by steam
i'm many cases. They carry all ore out in
sacks, the ordinary load varying from $50
to 40 pounds. The ladder ways are
notchcd logs, about ten To twelve inches
IN diameter. A step or notch is cut in
each side, the workmcn ascending, either
catching "A hold Of the notclIcs or placing
his arm around the log. The ore i'm the
JACKS rests upon the back, "A strap passing
from il over the forehead. A Mexican
will make forty trips daily nut of n 100
foot shaft. The shafts are sunk on
benches about twelve feet above each
other. A Mexican always follows his ore,
breaking as little waste rock as possible.
As a consequence drifts go up and down

ordinary wages are 80 ccnts n day for

An Alder Gu,ch Discovery.

The hills la the east OF Virginia City
have been covered with prospectors for
the past eight or ten days. About two
weeks ago, three or four gentlemen sub
scribed To- a fund for the purpose of pros
pectlna for a blind lead that was believed
Ia exist ON the range some two aud "A half
miles east Of the city. They employed a
man and set him To digging for the hidden
bonanza. In the course of "a few days lac
struck a large vein of promising looking
quartz. The news soon spread. Picks,
shovcls. and other prospecting tools were

Hints OH Pruning.

Ii the art is understood, it is posi-
bic to have II tree of almost any de-

shape. Fall pruning ma es the
strongest trees and vines, while spring
pruning gives the most fruitless
hence, for a weak tree or vine prune
in the fall, while for a strong, poorly
bearing tree prune in the spring. The
right time is in the growing season, as
then the wounds will heal most read

study symmetry. Do not cut away
any more healthy limbs than is neces-
sary, but disintangle them and cut
away the smaller sprouts, so as to adj
