A hundred masts, hundred more,

"The beetles usually lay their eggs
and the larvae attacks the carpets
under their exposed edges, and these
parts may be protected by washing
over the edges and a few inches OF
the under sides with solution OF
corrosive sublimato in alcohol in the
proportion of sixty grains to one
pint. The alcohol quickly evapo-
rates, leaving the corrosive sublimate
over all the fibers of the carpet where
the application has been made. IL
must be remembered that corro sive.
sublimate is poison, and canRot be
safely used where children play upon
the carpet.
1.-THE larva of the pitchy carpet
beetle is otter found feeding on
carpets in the same manner as the
buffalo carpet beetle, and sometimes
associated with it. There is but one
generation in year, as indicated by
those which have bred, for larvae
found in June did not transform to
perfect beetles until the following
Nav. The remedies for this pest are
the same as for the buffalo beetle.
"It is desirable, where rugs are
used instead of carpets to take them
up and shake them out of doors fre-
quently during the Spring and sum

flatiron on them. If this is properly
done, it will force the steam down

that may be feeding beneath. :,

"Small red ants often infest dwell

the removal of board where they
come into room will expose their
head-ouarters, when little kerosene
poured over it will destroy all the
inmates. If they come from some
ant hill outside OF the house, they
can be destroyed by making holes q

tablespoonful of bisulphide OF carbon
into each and stamping down. Inc

still keep up their organizations ID

notably Maine, where they are an
important social if no longer politi's

meetings, usually occurring twice q
month, the discussion of agricultural
topics is followed by singing and reci-
tations, and, among, the younger
folks, by rustic games. Often the

refuse the invitation.
Dolly had been in London only one
short week, and she was bewitched
with everything she saw. She loved
her uncle and aunt, both of whom dis
played strong affections for her, and
indulged her in freedom she had
never tasted before. She was delight
cd with the substantial old house, with
its large rooms, big frepleces and
comfortable furniture. More than all,
she admired London itself. The busy
streets, with their palatial shops; the
colossal buildings-St. Paul's, the
Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, the
broad, quiet squares. which seemed to
have been dropped down at random
among the wilderness Of houses; the
gay restaurants and the brilliant, fas.
cinating theatres. She particularly
liked it at night, when illumined by
countless lights, whose reflections
glittered on the pavement; and when
the black darkness of the sky, unac-
companied by the deathly silence that
it brought in the country, seemed
rather to enhance the noise and hustle

Deal Consummated.

From the Fourmile gold region comes
the announcement that the West Side
Placer company, ia Rhode Island syndi-
cate), has purchased 1,500 acres of
land in the Dry Gulch district, the
purchase price being $500. When a
bond was taken on the property, nearly
two months ago, $4,000 was paid down,
and last week the balance, $40, 200, was
paid over to the locators, originally
seventeen in number. f. A. Michael,
a former Meekerite, was one of the
lucky owners. The company will now
go ahead with ditch project, the esti-
mated cost of which will be 100000.
The ditch will be 3S miles in length, 3
feet deep, II feet wide at top, with a
carrying capacity of 5000 miners inches.
The ditch is to be completed within
sixty days after contract is let, and this
means the employment of several hun
dred men and teams along the line.

ANTHRACITE COAL NOW /!
Another Valuable Commodity
Added to Our Vast Crude
Resources.
The Discovery, Which was Pureu
Accidental, Made This Week..

And now it is anthracite coal in ad-
dition to the limitless bodies of the
pltuminous article which we already
possess. Like lots of other discoveries
OF much Importance, this latest one was
entirely accidental and came about in
this manner:
n. Burnham, who owns ranch east
of town, went up Sulphur creek, which
runs through Meeker, some time ago
and commenced filling his wagon from
the first exposed vein of he ran across.
he took the coal home, but when put
to use it proved to be altogether different
to anything he had heretofore used, so
last week when interest was aroused in
coking coal, he showed piece to Henry
Hay who at once pronounced it anthra-
cite. Later on, Colonel Ben Price was
shown chunk of the coal and he also
declared it anthracite.
Mr.. Price is an old Pennsylvania
anthracite operator and recognized
authority on that class of coal, SO after
he passed judgment on the latest dis
coyery, Messrs. Hay and Burnham
allowed very little time to elapse before
they had their stake on the find.
The vein is only four feet wide on the
surface but may widen out with develop
ment. Bituminous veins here run from
six to forty feet in thickness.
The discovery has aroused consider
able local interest in coal matters and
will undoubtedly lead to other discover
les of the same character. Anthracite
coal is very desirable commodity in
any country, but especially so in this
where We have, if anything, too much
OF the other grades.

Settled for the Present.

Most of our readers are aware that
the sheep and cattlemen over in Routt
county do not harmonic to any great ex-
tent of late, and the innocent cause of
the hard feeling which now exists is
attributed to attempts of the sheepmen
to extend their range under the guise
of wanting to ship their stock out Of the
country via Wolcott. This the cattle
men at their first meeting refused to al
low, and at subsequent meetings there
was no change in this decision. In
stead they are now thoroughly organ
lied, numbering, it is said, from five to
eight hundred determined men, who
will resist the invasion of the sheepmen.
j. G.. Edwards, the well-known sheep
man of Wyoming, who counts his mold
ings by the thousand, seems to be the
principal one who wants to get across
what is known as the dead line" but
instead of bringing in his own property
he had several of the smaller fry first
try the temper of the cattlemen. The
latter soon had the different hocks To-
Gated, and the sheepmen were told to
move back. AS far as now known they
have complied with the request
The following from the Salt Lake
Tribune, however, would indicate that
Mr.. Edwards has not given up his in
tention to take his sheep out by way OF
Wolcott:
]. G. Edwards, the man who had so
much trouble with the cattlemen oil
Routt county, Colorado, arrived in the
CITY Yesterday, and leaves this morning
1.-THE 10TH for the seat of trouble. The
reports, said Mr.. Edwards to Tribune
reporter, have been greatly exaggerated
The story of actual warfare he pro-
nounces wholly imaginary. However,
if Mr.. Edwards adheres to his expressed
determination and the cattlemen 70
theirs. active hosilities have simply
been deferred until September. Az
that time the sheepman avows his IN
tention of breaking through the deau
line. He says he will do 1t peaceaoly IL
the cattlemen will permit; otherwise he
will 20 with force sufficient at least 70
teen the lazy, autumnal fly OIL the
enemy. Should this move preclpltate
an encounter, he will then lay his rights
before Governor McIntire and deihano
