If you can have assistance from some
one at home in the carpenter work the
sole bill for outside labor will be for
fitting the lock and key. The box or
desk is to be placed on upright boards
two feet wide and thirty inches long,
which are fitted into the corner where
the desk is to stand. When the desk is
placed on these uprights little under
closet is left, which must be fitted up
with three cornered shelves. A pretty
curtain may be made for the front by
decorating blue damask cloth or denim
with outlining in gold thread.
Some very thin pieces of board will
be material for making pigeonhole COM
partments i'll the upper part of the desk.
Here may be kept the stationery and
other writing materials that need to be
kept away from dust The entire desk,
inside and out, is to be finished with
oak stain and then vanished. A little
cover to match the curtain finishes the
top, and on it can be set books and any
little trifes. The curtain is finally put

Raise Sunfowers For Oil.

1t has been announced that the
Secretary of Agriculture is bending
his efforts to put to some profitable
use the large tracts of waste land
in this country, notably certain To-
calities in the Southern States, and
his belief in the value of the Gala
lily root as a food product has
gained considerable support. 1t is
suggested by the Pharmaceutical
Era that the department advocate
raising on the swamp lands of Flor
ida the sunfower, the seeds of
which have considerable CONNER
cial Importance, as from them is
derived an oil which is a valuable
product. The sunfower would
grow almost without attention and
with no cultivation, and the return
per acre would be exceedingly lib
eral from the rich swamp soil. The
sunfower industry of Russia has
proven a prosperous one, and the
oil has superseded all other veget
able oils in many parts of thai
country. Those who have looked
into the matter a little, conside
that the proposed industry would
from the start render very satisfac
tory profits, and undoubtedly some
thing will be done in the direction

Hill. The property now held by Col.
Downey was secured from the miners
on extremely reasonable terms. Right
now it would paw men with capital and
a knowledge of mining matters to visit
Gold Hill.
vAQUERo ON SNOW SHOES.
The return trip from Gold Hill was an
exciting experience, and we had lots OF
fun. Lou Davis and your correspondent
started ten or fifteen minutes ahead Of the
stage on snow shoes. They made a
couple or three mills before being over
taken BY the stage. and then the real iun
began. DAVIS is a tall, athletic man, very
quick and nervy. A dozen years ago he
began life in the Platte valley as a cowboy
and on the range was a daring rider. In
the last legislature, though he is a small

present estray law and insists that it is

started. He almost caught the stage at

1t is known as the Cumberland and the

THE KURTZ MINE.
About twenty-five miles south of Sara
toga on Grand Encampment creek is the
Kurtz silver mine owned by Senator
Chatterton and others. Development
work has been going on IN the Kurtz fol
several years and an 800 foot tunnel has
been driven. None of the owners of this
mine were seen, but the writer was in,

every mine was separately investigated.
One trouble is that each claim has too
many owners and one does not care to do
the work for Others. 10 many instances
the partners live in different parts of the
country and being busy with other affairs
are hard to get together and come to an
understanding. They are careless oil their
Gold Hill interests and are waiting to
hear of good results from some one else's
work.
HOW TO DO II.
These good results ought soon to come
about. The ore going into the Downey
mill every day shows free gold and lots OF
it. How can the clean up be otherwise
than satisfactory? The ore ASSAYS all the
way from $40 to $40, 900 a ton. Taking
the lowest assay as an average and allow
ing three-quarters to be wasted the clean
up for a months run would be SO, 900. At
least S., 700 ouRkt to be cleaned UP by
Feb. ]. This will stimulate activity IN

this is done very soon there will be the
convincing evidence, plenty OF pay rock

trouble induce the establishment of

A BRIGHT FUTURE.
At the present time considerable assess
ment work is being done, development
work has begun in earnest and will be
continued until the standing of the camp
Is established beyond a doubt. 1t seems
impossible that it can turn out otherwise
than a wonderful camp. In every tunnel
and every shaft ore is struck. and the
first instance of one from which gold can
not be gotten with the aid of mortar and

what has been seen, to sink a hole at ran

between Gold Hill and La Plata lies the
snowy range at an altitude of about
$4,000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
1t separates the two districts which are
at an altitude of 10000 feet. La Plata
is a silver camp. Three mines are being
worked there this winter and those who
have been there say it promises to be a
great camp. The most prominent mine
there is the Brooklyn, owned by the
Lucky Six" company Of Laramie.
f. o. Sawin began prospecting in what
is known as the La Plata district nineteen
years ago. Thirteen years ago he quit
work on his claim there because he had
not the means to further develop them.
When the Gold Hill excitement started
he went right back to the old place and
began work on his claim. La Plata
will probably be visited by a representa-
tive OF The LEADER in the near future
when further particulars will be given.
THE PROSPECTIVE CAMPS.
About four miles southeast of Gold

Of La Plata on French creek,
new discoveries were made last summer.
Leads of gold. silver and nalcna were dis

ers think the French creek camp will be

The Yankee Jack lead and silver mine,

one. In one place a shaft has been sunk
to a depth of forty feet and another 1875
feet. In the l25 foot shaft. a thirty-five
