THE NoRTHERN LIGHT.
Gold Ore Galore, but Also Mountain
of the ..Renutifui.'

Uoi0 ore Galore, but Also MOuhtSa1hs
of the s'Beautifui.''
Superintendent Frank Hines, of the
Northern Light, on Lion hill, who
came in from the mine Tuesday night,
informs The Herald that there is more
Snow in that locality at the present
than at any previous time during the
| winter just passed, and that it will be
some time before the mine can begin
regular ore shipments.
In speaking of the mine Mr.. Hines
says that in the lower levels the drifts
/ have been cleaned out Of late, show
1ng from twelve to seventeen feet of
ore for $50 feet or more that will carry
from SIS to $40 in gold, 20 ounces silver
and 16 per cent. ircn to the ton. This
ore, Mr.. Hines says can be worked sue
| cessfully by the cyanide process, and
he guarantees that by it's use 95 per
cent. of the gold values can be saved.
AS soon as possible, however, four car
loads Of this ore will be shipped to our
valley smelters for a test run, as it is
high grade enough to class as shipping
ore.
The company will build a mill as soon
as it is thoroughly satisfied that the
right process has been found for the
treatment of its ore, and it has been
suggested, as the mineral carries iron,
silver and sulphur, that a pyritic smell
ter would be just the thing to work it
by the product being unreined bull
lion that could be easily handled.
In the upper portion of the mine there
are ineXhaustible quantities of silver
ore, some of which is very high grade.
This ore, as soon as the roads become
passa bic will be shipped, and the ex-
traction of this mineral will be the
source of a large and steady revenue
to the company, but it is the large de-
posits of low grade gold ores on which
the company attach the most import
ance.
AS soon as the weather settles it is
the intention to open the road through
the snow with the shovel gang, and
then begin ore shipments as soon as
possible.
In the vicinity of the Northern Light
1T has been showing steadily almost,
for over three weeks, and when the 500
ore sacks were being taken up to the
mine last week, half of them were lost
in the storm. OF course they will be
found as soon as the snow disappears;
but the incident serves to illustrate the
kind of weather the company has had
to contend with since it secured pos
session of this property.

The ore and bullion receipts yester-
day were as follows:

inch of shank below the lower bud.
Count off three buds and detach, when
your cion will appear as shown on the
right of Fig.2.
Setting the Cion.-Place the curved
edge of your knife over the end of the
stub, splitting at right angles to the
body of the tree. Split with one blow of
the mallet if possible, the curved edge
of the knife being calculated to make
a clean cut before the bark begins 20
tear. Drive out the knife, and, revers-
ing, drive the wedge lightly into the
cleft. Now bear down on the handle
enough to hold the cleft open, insert
your cions so that their inner bark will
either match with or cross that of the
stub, leaving the lower bud little
above or on level with the sawed sur
face, and drive-not pull-out your
knife. The cleft ready for insertion Of
the cion is seen in Fig. 2.
WaXing.-Have your wax about the
consistency of soft putty and your
hands we'll oiled with fresh lard. Sd
that it will not stick. Roll up sufficient
wax to cover the stub, draw the wax
with one motion over the cleft, shutting
in the lower bud. Now cover the other
cleft, and if you have used wax enough
TO exclude air and moisture success will
be sure.
Grating Wax.-To make wax that
will not crack in winter nor melt in
summer, melt one part beeswax and
one part tallow together, and five parts
white resin separately: pour together
while hot, stir briskly and dump into
a tub of lukewarm water whose sides
and bottom have been previously well
creased with lard. Grease your hands
with the same material and work your
wax until it is a golden yellow and will
hoat.-Orange Judd Farmer.

GOOD ROAD HINTS.
Some Things That Are Essential to Per-
manent improvement.

Some Things That Are Essential to Per-
manent Improvement.
Until we have radical change in the
system of highway laws and highway
management much improvement would
result in the condition of roads if the
commissioners and overseers would see
to it that the side ditch on the upper
side of the road is opened to a proper
depth to carry all the water in the
spring and sluices put across at proper
intervals to let the water away from
the road, and especially that the road
bed be made higher than the ditch,
and not so wide ana fiat as in many
cases they are. Many and many rod
of road is nothing but mudhole, and all
because of carelessness in not lowering
the side ditch and raising the roadbed
Again, many rods of road are some
times made muddy by not making
water bars across the road to turn the
water off, and so it is allowed to follow
down the entire slope for long dis
tance, when a bar of suitable height
would prevent all and the public would
be better accommodated by few min
utes' work of the overseer. But we
shall never have good roads, in the
strict sense of the term, until the rocks
and stones which now lie dormant
waiting the action of some master mind
are broken into small fragments, and
each year the time now devoted to
working" is utilized in drawing q
plentiful covering of crushed stone
In other words when orr roads ora
macadamized and the water turned off
and kept off. then, and not until then,
will our roads be permanently inn
proved. &C. W. Guernsey, in Orange

STEEL-TRAckED ROADS.
Money and Labor-Saving Device of q Well
Known New Yorker.

Money and LabOr-Saving Device of q Well
Known New Yorker.
Ex-senator John O'DonneIl, formerly
a railroad commissioner of New York,
has devised system of steel-track high
ways which he hopes to see adopted
by the rural communities of the country
as a set-off to high freight rates by rail-
ways.
On an ordinary macadamized high
way, two steel cutters, each five inches
wide and half an inch deep, are laid on
longitudinal stringpieces and cross
wooden ties alta width of feet SH inches
from center to center. To insure per-
feet drainage, side channels are con-
Quoted at frequent intervals from these
cutters to the outside of the road.
Mr.. O'Donnell quotes from the De-
cember bulletin of the road department
at Washington to show that 313. 349, 227
tons of farm products were hauled over
country roads in one year at cost of
S663, 100000, or about "a per cent. of the
total value of the products. Nearly
two-thirds of this amount could be
saved by good roads.
The following example is quoted by
Mr.. O'Donnell to show the prospective
advantage to be gained from the use of
steel-track cutters:
Sat a point on connecting lateral
road with the New York Central, 20
teams in the fall of the year delivered
20 loads of cheese from the factory -
miles from the railroad. The average
load was 1000 pounds. 1t took all day
to deliver the $4,000 pounds of cheese
and return. On steel-track road that
cheese could have been delivered by one
team in less time and in better condi-
ton, thereby saving 10 teams and 10
men, fairly worth S57. But this is not
all. This cheese was shipped to the con-
Meeting point on the Central, SO miles,
at 20 cents per 100-$64. On a steel
track road three teams would have de-
ivered il and returned in three days at
$3.50 per day, or $3.50, saving $3.50,
and. if loaded back at the same rate,
the total saving would be S65. The mar
ket price of the cheese at s cents per
pound was $3.50, and the loss by reason
of roads and rail charges was over one
third the price obtained"
Mr.. O'Donnell calculates the cost of
making single steel-gutter track road
at from So, 900 TO $1,000 mile.

me that the best time to cut CRAFTS, if
one does not need any great quantity,
is at the time they are to be inserted,
always provided that the buds are not
too far advanced, in which case they
should be cut in April and preserved in
damp sand or sawdust. For cions, cut
only the last years growth from the
end of bearing branch.
Sawing.-In saving off branch, the
CRATER should bear in mind the future
shape of the tree, and not saw too close
to the trunk, not saw off branches more
than three inches in diameter, and not
saw one limb above another, so that the
growth will interfere. In case of a
heavy branch, which is liable to split
down, saw under a few inches above
where you wish to leave your stub, until
the saw begins to pinch, then saw from
the top at the place selected, and there
will be no splitting. Make smooth,
clean cut.
Whittling.-Cions should not exceed
a lead pencil in size. Take the twig in
your left hand, and placing the knife at
the side of the bud, draw it toward the
end, the cut terminating at the pith, the
bevel being perfect. Serve the opposite
side in exactly the same way, taking
care that the wedge is little the thick
est in front. There should be about an

To Secure Variety in Plants.

There should be individual effort 70
secure more variety in ornamental
plants. Because our neighbor possesses
some very fine ornamental shrubs is no
good reason why we should duplicate
them. 1t would be more to our credit
and individual taste, says writer in
the New York Post, if we tried to sur
pass them in beauty by selecting other
subjects that had not yet been gen.
orally used. There is no excuse for
copying another persons lawn because
it appeals TO our taste. 1t may serve as
en- example and guide, but it should not
be initiated too closely.

How wild Trees Are Changed Into Pro-

Scattered over rocky, sidehill pas
lures, along fences, fields and frequent
ly in orchard rows, are to be found on
almost every farm thrifty wild apple
trees, whose fruit is seldom fit for any
thing but the cider press. Yet these
very trees, with but very little outlay of
time and money. can be changed into
producers of fruit of the best varieties
by cleft grating. AS soon as spring
has really set in is the proper season to
do this work, and almost anyone, by the
exercise of intelligence, care and perse-
verence, can do his own grating very
successfully.
The Tools.-A full kit of grafter's tools
consists of a keen, fine-toothed, stiff
