About the brightest remark the presi-
dent made during his nine thousand
mile trip, during which he is said to have
made 139 well timed and happy speeches,
was remark he made while passing
Harrisburg, when nearly home. He
said, "I found that all the people clear
out to Puget Sound had already found
out more about their country than I
could possibly tell them" We wish all
the politicians in the East could learn
the same thing. They try to tell us we
don't know what we want on railway
transportation, the settlement of the pub
lie lands, free coinage, the Indian ques-
ton, irrigation and a dozen other mat
tiers of which they know no more than
the citizens of Timbuctoo.

W. t. Thompson, of Silver City, was
in town Tuesday, having one of Free
mans Success Dry Gold Separators with
him, with which he will work some of
the placer ground near Silver City. The
machine works on the principle of a fan
ming mill, with the exception that it has
two bellows, SO that while one is ex-
hausting the other is being filed, thus
keeping constant volume of wind on
the sand and dirt that is passing over
the riddles. The gold being the heav-
lest drops down and the dirt and gravel
is thrown over. Mr.. Thompson says
that if he can find dirt that contains
fifty cents to the ton that he can make
it pay to work it. The capacity of the
separator is forty tons per day.-Nampa
Leader.

The information was given last night
by one of the best known mining experts
in the West, that the Ontario No. 2 shaft
had reached depth where the vein in
stead of being enclosed by quartzite, had
penetrated the underlying granite and
that it was as strong and fertile as it had
ever been. 1t has long been mooted
question among mining men whether the
veins of Park City would extend below
the quartzite strata; now that it has been
demonstrated that they do, it extends
the time of the productive era OF the
mines to almost indefinite limits, the
only element miners need fear being the
amount of water they would have to con-
tend against.-Salt Lake Tntes.

GENERAL GRANTS LOG CABIN.-The
historic old log cabin in St. Louis county,
Mo-, which the late General U. S. Grant
erected with his own hands and with logs
cut and hewed by himsef-his first and
probably Lis happiest home-is about to
be removed from its present site and
shipped to Chicago, where it will be re-
erected for exhibition at the Worlds
Fair. The cabin was erected in 1854,
and is in remarkably good state of
preservation. The house is fifty feet
long and twenty feet wide, and is divid-
ed into four rooms.

MINING NUGGETS.
THE cHAUTAuouA TUNNEL.

The NUGGET mining engineer inspect
ed the crosscut tunnel being run by
Messrs. Lepley, Kent and others on the
Chautauqua ground. The tunnel is be-
ing run nearly southwest through De-
Lamar mountain, cutting it at about 300
| feet below the summit, and is now in
900 feet, and nearly under the summit.
To reach the surface on the west side
the tunnel will have to be run about 600
feet further. 1t is the finest tunnel on
the mountain, being seven feet six
inches in height, and over five feet in
width, and perfectly straight. No tim
bers were required after the first twenty
| feet. At ITO feet from the mouth, the
tunnel cut the Chautauqua ledge at a
depth of so feet from the surface. This
ledge where crossed is four feet wide,
nearly perpendicular, and trends about
two degrees west. 1t has been run a
short distance both directions on the
ledge. A quantity of ore now on the
dump taken from this ledge is of good
grade and many specimens show rich 10
silver and in some of them gold can be
seen with the naked eye. The entire
ledge where cut is good, and could be
mined and milled at profit.
Three hundred feet from the mouth
of the tunnel lode ten feet wide has
been cut. This lode where cut is mixed
with porphyry to such an extent that
it's value would be difficult to estimate
at this point. Several streaks in it are
rich and these streaks vary consdera-
BILE in character, from stained seams of
tale, full of silver, to white honey comb
quartz, prospecting high in gold. The
hanging wall of this lode is shale por-
phyry. By drifting or sinking, this vein
would probably be found to clear itself
of porphyry and develop into very
valuable find. From this vein to the
present face of the tunnel, every few
feet has shown up stringers of quartz
from an inch to eighteen inches in width
all of which prospect more or less in
gold and silver. The tunnel is now be-
Ing driven ahead to cut the Boone ledge
which will be reached at about 150 feet
further. Further on the tunnel will Gu
the south extension of the Webfoot and
will also still further on, cut the Last
Chance.

Several of the prospectors in Cow
Creek camp have bonded their proper
ties. The usual method of bonding the
properties is the sensible and prac-
tical one of putting the claims at a low
figure and then requiring the parties to
do specified amount of development
work during the life of the boud. This
is fair to both parties. There are always

When Captain De Lamar bought the
Wilson and Idaho mining claims five
years ago for $12,500, Jack Wilson, the
owner, got big price for them, accord
ing to the showing they then made. 1t
is questionable if they had remained in
Wilson's possession until the present
day if they would have fetched any
more now. That they have turned out
to be splendid properties, is due to the
fact that the purchasers were backed by
capital to develop them as much as to
the lucky finding of deposits of ore.
There is an answer in this to question,
men who have mines for sale, are most
frequently confronted with, "if you
have good mine, why don't you take
the money out of it yourself?p A man
may often be amply able to demonstrate
that he has good mine and yet not be
able to make it pay for want Insufficient
means to sink shafts, run tunnels, put
up hoisting works, construct roads,
build mill or DO otner things required
to put his property on paying basis.
If he be unable to obtain money to
work his property, the best thing he
can do is to offer it for sale at moder-
figure. We can point out property in
this county for which the owner was
offered 100000 ten years ago. He re-
fused to take that sum, and has not
been able to buy new suit of clothes
in all that time. The same amount was
offered him two years ago and again re-
fused. He has not sufficient money
now to buy box of candles. He has
kept capital out of the camp; be will
probably die poor. Which is the more
sensible citizen, be or the man who sold
the Wilson mine for twelve thousand
five hundred dollars?

DOVER will have a creamery in opera
ton by January Ist Middle;own has
one. Delaware City one. Townsend one,
Smyrna two, and Harrington will have
one in operation this winter; but, because
one or two dairymen, who sell butter and
cream in Milford, have said creamery
would, not pay here, this town has not got
a creanery, OF any prospect for one.
Scores ofepws have been sold BY cur far
mers to people. around Middletown and
SMYRNA, and there is no reason why a
creamery should not be started in Mil-
ford For the farmer there is every rea-
son why creamery will be an advan-
tage. First, it gives him ready cash
throughout the year. Second, it keeps
his land in grass. Third, It consumes the
grain and coarse food ON the farm, which
make lots of manure. Fourth, by having
lots of manure, the land can be improved,
! arger crops raised and phosphate bills
saved. Start a creamery in Milford.
There is rich farming lands north, east
and west of Milford and no little OF 1t,
but what is lacking is the man of enter
prise to run the creamery. A creamery
is of more account than a dozen shirt fac
tories.
