MADISON COUNTY OUTLOOK.

More Activity in chat Section Than for
danny Years.
There ID more activity in quartz mining
in this vicinity at this time than has ever
before been displayed. One mill is on the
eys OF completion and ready for work, and
the lumber and machinery for another is
being put on the ground as rapidly as the
saw mills can cut the lumber and teams can
deliver both, with two more in contempla-
tion. and all within q radius of FIVE miles
OF this city. Nearly every mine or prospect
In the camp is being worked, and new
finds are reported every day. While there
10 no rush of people to the camp, now and
strange faces appear on the streets all the
time and constant inquiry is made by letter
about the quartz prospects of the camp, by
men who are only waiting for encouraging
M to come here. Many of these let
early days and have wandered off to other
camps and countries, but who are now
anxious TO return If there ia any induce
ment for them to do SO. Others come from
: capitalists who wish to invest money in
mines. or. at least, claim that they do, if
they can find anything that offers q reason-
able promise for profit on Investments. If
~ were to have the answering OF these in
Quiries. we would say: Come and see for
yourselves, as no one can see a thing for YOU
No yen can see it for yourselves" There is
9 wide field here for the %prospector, and we
believe a rich field for the man who has
money to invest in the development and
operation Of mines. There has been many
millions OF money taken from the placers
IN this vicinity, and there are hundreds of
thousands being taken from these placer
deposits yet every year, This placer gold,
evidently. came from the quartz veins that
seam the hills that surround tho pulehes
and bars from which it has and is being
taken. It il not likely that all the precious
metals in the quartz veins nave been leacled
ont by the action of the elements or other
processes of nature in it's chemical opera
lions or other mysterious influences. and
deposited in the gravel beds where placer
gold ia found, freed from other miuerals
n other substances. There must be some
left in the veins yet, but it will take labor
and the expenditure of money and intelli-
gent management to get it out. II will not
come hi Of its own ~yolition and fad its
way into the pockets of men, neither is il
lying around loose on top of the ground
where it can be picked mp like gravel stones
in the dry creek bottoms. Nor will ths
stalking and recording Of one of these
quartz veins make money for the man who
does the stalking and recording. He will
have TO dig down into the earth and extract
the wealth that lies hidden down in its
depths. -Madisonian.

Rainmaking mbs.

A company engaged in the manufac-
ture of explosives in this city has for
sale now small bombs about the size of
frankfurter sausages, with which it is
said the farmer can bring down small
showers of rain whenever he sees clouds
over his land.
The constituents of one bomb are di-
vided into two parts, liquid and solid.
which are both separately nonexplosive.
These can be kept separate until the
time comes to use them. when they are
mixed.
The solid part is about an inch in di-
ameter and eight inches in length. and
is wrapped in cotton. These bombs are
placed in grooved tin boxes, each hold
ing ten. A small tin measure, contain
ing the liquid part, accompanies each
box. 1t is graduated to show the quan-
tity needed to saturate the bomb to the
exploding point.
Five or fifty bombs may be used. ac-
cording to the amount of rain needed
or the detonation required. How the
farmer is to know how much detonation
is needed is a dubious matter The
bombs are tied in bundle, a time fuse
is attached and the whole lot discharged
from mortar and at the passing cloud.
In hilly countries clouds often pass
over the valleys and discharge their
contents on the barren mountain sides.
In such regions, it is said. the bombs
will be particularly useful.-New York

The SDider Hawk,

The miners of Colorado who have
built cabins ON the mountain sides know
what a pest the small, brown wood
spider proves to be. They throw their
webs over your best clothes, cooking
utensils and in every corner where you
can get them in your eyes and mouth.
Not only that, but they will drop into the
frying pan, water bucket or upon the
table when you are eating. But nature
furnished us aremedy and friend when
she gave us the spider hawk.
The name is given by miners to a
small, steel blue wasp about three
fourths of an inch in length. He can
easily be recognized by the quick, ner-
vous stroke of his wings. The wasps build
nest up among the rafters of your cabin
of wood pulp or furze from the outer
coating of old dead trees. Then they
are ready for business. Every few min
utes you can see your hawk climbing up
the rafters with spider, sometimes car
rying one four or five times his own
weight.
Sometimes they get spider so heavy
that they will fall many times before
they succeed in reaching their nest.
They never give up, but keep on trying
till they succeed. When the spider is
safely placed in the nest the female
hawk deposits her egg in the dead body.
The hawks lives only in pairs, as far as
my observation goes. They become
rather tame.-Great Divide.
