QUEER PLANTS USED FOR FOODS.

Little HnOwn Vegetables and Edible In
seets Of tho Prairie. eos
Over ut tho department. Of agriculture,
hidden away in an obscure corner, is
an odd sort of exhibit OF Queer foods
eaten by out Of the way people. There
is a loaf Of bread made from the roasted
leaves of a plant allied to the century
plant. Another kind of bread is from a
dough of juniper berries. These are rel
ished by some tribes Of Indians, while
others manufacture cakes out of differ
emit kinds of bulbs.
Tho prairie Indians relish a dish of
wild turnips, which civilized people
would not DO likely TO enjoy at all. In
the great American desert the ''screw
beans" which grow on mesquite BUSH
es, are utilized for food. Soap berries
furnish an agreeable diet for ONE saw
ages in this country, while in Califor-
mia the copper colored aborigines do not
disdain the seeds Of salt grass.
Also In California the Digger Indians
collect pine nuts, which are the seeds Of
certain species of pins sometimes called
"pinons, " by kindling fires against the
trees, thus causing the nuts to fall out
of the cones. At the same time a sweet
gum exudes from the bark, serving the
purpose of sugar. The seeds OF gourds
are consumed in the shape Of mush by
Indians In Arizona.
In addition to all these things the ex-
hibit referred to includes a Jar Of pull
verified crickets which are eaten in that
form by the Indians of Oregon. They
are roasted, as are likewise grasshoppers
and even slugs. These delicacies are
cooked in a pit, being arranged in alter
nate layers with hot stones. After be-
ing thus prepared they are dried and
ground to powder. They are mixed with
pounded acorns or berries, the -four
made In this way being kneaded into
cakes and dried In tho sun.
The AssiniboineB use a kind of seed 10
stop bleeding at the nose. Among other
curious things used for food are acorns,
bunAower seeds, grape seeds, flowers OF
cattails, moss from the spruce Or tree
and the blossoms Of wild clover. The
exhibit embraces a number OF models
representing grape seeds eDarmously en-
larged. II ia actually possible to tell the
species Of a grape by the shape Of the
seed. There is a Jar OF red willow bark,
which Indians mix with tobacco for the
sake Of economy. This, however, Is only
n Of q thousand plants that are util-
lied in q similar fashion.

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED


Frnnk ustton Reviews In rncsasus style
Senator oIorxan's Hawaiian neport.
Some day. ia the sweet by and by per-
haps. we shall know exactly what Sena-
tor Morgan's report on the Hawaiian in
vestiggtiou ronlly means. We shall know
whether 1t Is intended as a manly DEM
onstration Of American sentiment OF a
suave and servile withdrawing Of q dis
creditable blunder-whether Il is a shrek
Of the noble bird Of freedom or the still
small MARBLE Of the lowly cuckoo.
For the present we are able TO disen-
tangle from the bewildeVing labyrinth Of
It's language one isolated fact Of mo-
ment-the fact that Mr.. Morgan and q
majority Of the committee with him be-
lieve in the annexation Of the islands.
Out Of that wild and tossing sea Of rhet-
ORIG we have succeeded IN snatching
this lonely dereHct. But all the rest Of
It is e%nveloped In a tender haze Of volu-
bility, which, while II accompanies
ders IN the way Of stimulating guess
work, Is valueless a. a guide to definite
conclusions. The utterance appears to
DO confused with howevers and notwith-
standings and moreovers, and there isin
it an opulence Of "if 30, why notf' pro-
fundity that battles exact analysis.
According to this astonishing docu-
ment, everybody connected with the
Hawaiian incident behaved like a states
man, a scholar, a hero and a patriot.
Mr.. Stevens was correct, and 80 was Mr..
Blount. President Dole is q great man
on the right track. and Liliuokalani .
perfect lady, If somewhat In distress.
The United States authorities acted
wisely in recognizing the queens down
fall, and the administration has kept
well within its lawful powers in trying
to set her up again. In a word, the re-
port furnishes a common ground upon
which all men may meet and whore all
sorts Of opinions can hnd encourage
ment and sympathy.
As we say, there is Just one downright
proposition to which the bcwildered citi-
zen may cling, and that is the clear, un-
equivocal and unmitigated declaration
by seven out Of the nine parties to the
report that they favor the annexation Of
Hawaii by the United States. -Washing-

Mining md NillInr.

An the mills at Pinos Altos are tard
at work and the gold output OF The camp
is increasing.
A car load Of concentrates was SHIPPED
from the Ovens & Porter mill at Cen
trail last week which rsu AZ 1 2 ounces
iuisilver and 1 ounce in gold.
The Savage orothers are hard at work
on their new lease at Central, taking out
ore and opening up what looks like a
good mine.
Three pounds Of gold, besides the con-
centrates, was the result of a cleanup
from the st. Helene mine at Central
last week.
There was a furry Of excitement over
a reported gold strike at Central last
Saturday, but investigation failed TO de-
velop anything substantial in the ru-
mors.
Ore is being hauled down from Pinos
Altos TO the Pacific mill here, and prepa.
ratious are being made to start the
works up again within the next few
days.
Rowllee and Whitney are sinking on
a their Anaconda claim in the White
Signal district. They are down fifteen
feet on Ia pay etreak Of from Sin. to 10
inches in width and which runs high in
copper, gold and silver.
Some St. Louis people have been ex-
aiming the White Signal district with
a view TO putting up a couple of Hun
tington mills there with which to treat
the ores Of that camp, II seems prob
able that they will put up their mill a
short distanct above Fulloch's ranch.
NJ. Martin has discovered and located
a new vein in the Hanover district which
promises to develop into n first class
mine. AS far as 1t is uncovered the vein
shows a width Of about,3 feet, and sam
pies taken from it have assayed Z OF an
ounce in gold, 14oz in silver and % per
cent lead.
A little ripple of excitement has been
created by the discovery of course placer
at San Jose by: Hank. Dorsey and H.
Vellines. A quantity Of nuggets worth
from .15c. to SOC. a piece have been wash
ed out, besides smaller gold. All the
ground about has been located.
Work Is going on steadily on the
Pleasant View Mine at Gold Hill, aud
the property shows up bigger and better
with each days development. This
mine is noted as having produced tho
biggest gold nuggets ever found in this
part Of the country, and as having been
a regular, steady paying property from
the grass roots. The vein, so far as dew
eloped, 10 from 10 inches to 3 feet in
width and the ore from it gives mill re-
turns OF $40. a ton.
Wolcott has introduced a bill suspend
ing the act which requires that in each
claim located after March, 10, 1892, and
until patent has been issued thereof, not
less than 500 worth Of labor shall be
performed or improvements made dur
ing each year for a term Of one year
from Nov. 1, 1895 and also that the pro-
visions on all claims located prior to the
10th Of May, 1892, 800 worth of labor
shall be performed or improvements
made by June 10, 1894, and each year
thereafter for each 100 feet in length
along the vein until the patent has been
issued, be also suspended for the same
time.

The Calhoun Opera Company gave
two performances here last week, the
Black Hussar on Friday and The Bohe-
milan Girl on Saturday. A full house
greeted them the first evening and the
performance was one Of the best that
the music lovers Of Silver City have ever
had the pleasurs Of listening TO. The
quartette or sextette, whichever it was,
at the end Of the fret act was splendidly
given and enthusiastically encored. The
closing chorus at the end Of the second
act was particularly well rendered, and
the soldier laddies who formed q large
part Of the audience applauded the
drilling Of the girl Hussars in
a way which showed their keen
appreciation Of the really excellent work.
Not only the leading voices but the
whole company was thoroughly good
and gave great enjoyment by their ex-
cellent singing and general all round
good work. The second night the audi
ence was rather slim and the poor house
seemed TO have somewhat OF a depress
ing effect on the performers. The Com
pany is however in every way thorough
ly first class, and Silver City will look
toward with pleasure to seeing and
hearing the Calhoun Opera Co. next
year. 1t is seldom that we have the OPP
portunity Of hearing such really good
music as this company gave US last week
and we hope that u. their next appear
aDce We may be able to give them better
support than the hard times enabled us
TO do this time.
