Last Years Gold Increase.
Iiarper's Weekly.

Colorado did not distance California
and become the first of the gold-produc-
ing states, as was predicted during the
the latter part of 1894 The Denver Re-
publican canvassed the gold mining dis
tricts and footed up the returns for the
year at Sf1. 235. 500, an increase of sS,10o.Wo
over the yield OF 1898. Wells, Fargo 4
Co, the bankers and expressmen who
carry practically all the gold and silver
out of the mining camps of the West,
published a larger estimate In their fore
cast of the official figures In a circular
dated December 81, 1894. They put Colo
radios yield at 81, is5, 20I, and California S
at $40, 500, SIS From the United States
mint. at Denver. I have just obtained
the official figures that have been sent
to the director OF the mint at Wash
ington City They are as follows: Gold,
s10,6l6 49, silver ESTIMATED at 81 cents in
ounce. the average price in 1ssD, NA,sol, =
SIS; lead. s.. 100, It's; copper. S161,53o.
These figures are disappointing to those
who believe that they know Colorado TO
have uncovered the richest gold mines
in America, but to those who have no
other information than the figures give
them the Increase in the gold production
from 81. 600, 900 In 1890 and Sl.50oOo0 In 1888
TO nearly $40, 900 in 1894 is sufficiently
great to seem almost marvellous. So. too.
Is the lightning-like change the state has
made from a silver to a gold camp.
California is still the leading gold state.
II has been credited with an advance
from sl2.500 900 in 1898 to more than Sls.-
600 600 in 1894. The gain during the last
year was due TO the new working of old
mines, and also to the operation Of pla-

but the chances OF his getting u raise

AIsike Glover.

From present indications the amount
OF Alslke clover sown in Michigan the
coming spring. will be very large. This
species is receiving attention mainly on
account of the recent failures Of red
clover. owing to dry weather and the
attacks OF insects, particularly the i'm
ported clover root-borer.
For most purposes Alsike is inferior TO
either early or mammoth clover and it
has not become generally popular at the
East and in England where 1t has long
been known. 1t does not yield SO much,
either Of hay or pasture, as those kinds,
aud will not stand drouth as well. 1t is,
however, more hardy against cold than
other clovers, and Is especially adapted to
low or heavy lands where red clover win
ter-kills. When restricted TO such loca-
tions 1t has given general satisfaction.
but much disappointment has resulted in
dry seasons from sowing it on sandy up
lands. Alske serves well on low land to
mix with timothy, and such a mixture is
excellent for horses, since Alsike hay,
If properly cured, is brighter and freer
from dust than that OF the ordinary
clovers. On heavy or uneven soil, a
little Alsike seed may well be mixed with
that of red cloyer TO improve the stand.
The seed being very small, not more than
half the usual quantity is required per
acre.
At present Aisike Is profitable crop
to grow for seed. IL yields more seed
per acre than common red clover, and
will generally produce crop OF seed
when that of red clover fails on account
of the root-borer. It. Is able to do this.
not by reason OF exemption from the at
tacks Of the borer, but because OF its
seeding on the first crop, before the in
sects have had time to destroy the plants.
Alsike shells very easily when ripe, and
should be cut for seed as soon as a
majority of the heads have begun to
turn brown. In mast cases sufficient
seed will shell out 10 reseed tho field
spontaneously. AlslKe straw, after the
seed is threshed, makes good fodder.

pEQUAM MING.

Wednesday afternoon about 4:30
o'clock, merry load OF Chautauquans
started for the Mission. The meeting to
be held at the Rev. Mr.. Jones. Netwith-
standing the weather was several de-
grees below zero, peariy every member
was there to add to the general interest
and do their full share in eating the
many good thiags we found awaiting us.
The house presented cosy sight exter-
nally, being lighted from TOD TO bottom.
Upon entering, the warmth from the
cheerful fires could only be exceeded by
the cordial warmth of the welcome from
our genial host and his charming wife.
A fine program, consisting of instru-
mental and vocal music, preceded the
main topic, which was Famous Bridges
of the World" Each member was
assigned a different bridge, and the
result was very satisfactory one.
London B-idge," Niagara Bridges
Brooklyn Bridge" New Tower Bridge"
''Lcndon Bridge of the Tey" and "St.
Louis Bridge" were some of the most
noted bridges .bat were described. At
10 o'clock the wind was described as
blowing great guns" so that the mem
bers at once comenced to don their many
garments. Truly this was the time when
the regular customs OF the Superior
region was fully carried out, for each
wore as many garments of his own as
possible, ''then borrowed his neighbor's"
Fortunately the wind soon ceased, and
oil were as comfortable as could be when
we arrived at the Hotel, all being glad
to have gone.
