Progress on the East Granite and Other
Phiilpsburg Properties.
District Judge Durfee last week, after an
inspection Of the East Granite property,
said that it had the finest showing. depth

this week: ''If the honorable Judge could
have visited the mine yesterday his eyes
would have looked with wonder and admira-
ton on some ore found in the east drift OF
the seventy-foot level. This ore is now
fully four feet in width, and carries gray
copper. md some really fine specimens are
being exhibited by several u the very many
gentlemen who have visited the mine in the
past day or two.

no bad luck will be running by the 18th OF

resumed. and another cross-cut will be run
to the vein when a depth Of 100 feet has
been reached. IL is hardly necessary TO say
that ifNthe lead holds it's present width at
the next cross-cut, stock will permanently
advance to q very high figure. During Mi.
Pardee's abgence east, John WEIGH will
have sole charge Of the mine, as Allan Nc

days.
Operations at the mine will be watched
very closely by the public, as q great many

For the past week eight men have been
employed by Sam /. hiiverman on tho Wen
ger No. 2. This property Is owned by An
gus A. Mcdonald, Allen Mcdonnell, John
Opp, and j. j.. Meyers, and has been under
lease to the Hird brothers and Boxleiter for
the past ten months. The lease has about
eight months more to run, and Sam Silver

There appears to be activity on the line
of the great Granite lead. The hi Metallic
company are sinking a three compartment
shaft on the Fanny Parnell, and it is un-
derstood to be their intention to sink 800
feet before crosscutting. Further west on
the Zeus, sinking is still in progress, and
yet further west the Bi-Metallic Extension
people are about ready to resume sinking
and have machinery almost ready to move,

Big Assays, Big Strikes and Generally a
Fine Outlook.
Assays of $4,000 per ton are reported
from the ore taken from the Montana Gold,
Silver, Platinum and TeIlurium Mining
c%ompany's ground, commonly called tho
Benton group. The ore chute on the first
lead has already been demonstrated to be
2JO feet in length and the very rich ore
streak is from two to six inches wide, while
there are from six to twelve inches that will
average $500 per ton and some three or four
feet of a talcy formation in addition, ASSAY
800 per ton. This company will make an
ore shipment soon, and it is expected that
the returns will not only pay for the work
thus far but will furnish capital TO keep the
mine running for three months.
II is stated on good authority here that
the Commonwealth company has recently
made o sale of a large block Of its treasury
stock and that operations on the mine will
be begun ut an early day. The common
wealth, contains four claims in which
there are known to be three different leads,
all strong veins, eight or ten feet in width
and showing more or less ore.
A friend writing from YogO says: 1--WE
expect we shall be able to keep up a steady
shipment Of ore rs early in the spring M
tho roads will permit. u. IL. Carroll, man.

and is we'll pleased with the mines. which

SETTING FENCE POSTS.

When the other farm work will per-
NIT, early in the spring, just as soon AS
possible after the frost comes out of the
ground is good time to set fence posts.
They should be we'll sharpened first, as
they can be driven faster and easier than
they can be set in any other way. A rap
id plan of work is to take a spade and
dig out spaoeful of soil first, then with
a sharpened steel bar make a hole the
proper depth; set in the post and maui
it to the proper depth. This will be
found easier and faster than attempting
to drive the pits in all the distance.
Stretch line where it is desired to run
the fence, and set stake where each
post is to be set. A maui weighing six
teen pounds will be heavy enough to
drive the posts. Two men can work to
good advantage together, one to make
the holes and the other to drive the
posts. A box, cart or platform. will
be needed to stand upoS while driving
the posts.
The work must be done while the
ground is soft, as after it becomes dry
the labor will be very materially in
creased. Usually the work can be done
at time when the soil is too wet for
planting.-St. Louis Republic.

Clever Modeof Detecting a Thief.

Some years ago, in one of the cavalry
barracks, man complained that several
articles of his kit had been stolen. The
Corporal of the room, finding that the
thief could not be discovered got a large
tin mess dish and turned it upside down
on the floor with the barrack- room cat
underneath it. Then he ordered the gas
to be turned down, and requested each
man to touch the dish in turn, saving
that the cat would NEW when the thief
touched it. As matter of fact the cat
did not new, but the Corporal suddenly
cried, II have him." and ordered the
gas to be turned up. Then he ordered
each man to show hands, and all were
black except those Of one man; for the
Corporal had, unknown to the men,
blackened the back of the dish before
putting it on the ground.
Needless to say that the one man who
had not cared to tempt the ordeal by
touch was the thief, and search among
his kit revealed the missing articles.
The man begged very hard to be dealt
with by q room court-martial, and was
let off with two dozen lashes, admins
tered with baggage strap. The Cor
poral is still in the service, and now
holds her Majesty's commissioning.

Funeral Of the Cars Nurse.

There was a remarkable scene in St.
Petersburg the other day at the funeral
of Miss Catherine Strutton, who was the
nurse of the present Gear. The deceased
lady was eighty-one years of age, snd
had been forty-six years in tie service
of the imperial family. In fact, she died
at the Winter Palace from which the
funeral procession started. The weather
was very bad and the streets were full of
melting snow and mud, which made the
walking particularly disagreeable. But
In spite of all this and the attending dis
comfort, it is worthy OF note that none
of those who were expected to be pres
ent failed to put in appearance. The
White Car himself, and the Grand
Dukes Vladimir, Sergius and Paul,
walked side by side behind the hearse
which contained the old lady's coffin,
wading knee deep in the slush to the
English church. There the imperial
party attended the funeral service, the
Emperor sitting in the Ambassador
pew, and at the grave the English clergy.

A GOOD GRATING WAX.

The usual method of making grating
wax is as follows: Two pounds of com
mon resin, one and a half pounds of
beeswax and one pound of tallow ere
melted, the resin separately, and then
thoroughly mixed by stirring over the
fire. The mixture is then poured into
lukewarm water and worked up with the
hands into rolls for use. 1t will be
found very convenient to steep some
strips of cotton cloth in the melted wax
and wind them into a ball or balls for
use in binding over the gratis. Liquid
grating wax is made by adding one
ounce of turpentine to a pound of resin
melted with one ounce of tallow, stirring
the mixture and then adding seven
ounces of warm alcohol. The alcohol
should be warmed in hot-water bath,
and not over fire. This may be applied
with a brush, and becomes very hard

Disease Lurked in the Trunk.

There is difference of opinion among
medical men as to the contagious phase
of diphther,a. That the disease can be
communicated, even after long lapse of
time, seems proven by the experience of
family at Warrens, Cal. Twelve years
agoa chest was filled with books and
put away while the members of the
household were afflicted with diphtheria.
The other day the chest was unpackcd,
and now all the persons who handled
