Inc Inllduelpnld' mining syn
dictate which has secured options on
the mineral lands in the Sth dis
trict put force of eleven men at
work this week under change of
John r. White. Digging was COM
menced at Red Hill, near Como
wingo creek short distance from
Pilot Town, on the Gillespie prop
erty, which the syndicate purchased
from Jas. E. Haines. Theo. Garvin
left at the MIDLAND office a sample
of the rock which is being mined,
and which is supposed to contain
gold orsome other valuable mineral.
Another gang will commence
operations this week Or next at
another part of the gold bearing
territory.
Facts are coming out which seem
to prove that mining for gold in
this region has not been rash or
hasty venture, but was preceded by
careful prospectors and a number
of analyses of ore collected from diff.
ferent places on the gold tract,
which embraces what is familiarity
known as the barrens, a tract of
country running from the Pennsyl-
vania line bordering on the Octo-
rarO creek on the east to the Sus-
quehanna. The soil is very barren,
covered with a scrub oak. called
"black jack" and green briers, the
latter apparently aspecies of dwarf
bamboo, strayed from its native
haunts and acclimated in a northern
and uncongenial cline.
Feldspar, magnesia, soapstone,
chrome, iron and probably other
among which is num-
bered gold, are found on this bar
rem belt. Some of those minerals
are abundant while traces of many
are shown, but heretofore no efforts
have been made to develop any but
spar and chrome. There are min
eral springs in the territory, mostly |
holding magnesia in solution.
Numerous boxes Of mineral have
been shipped to the cities from
Rowlandville station, recently, pre-
for analysis.

They Knew the Bugle Call.

Speaking of the cleverness of
horses, a foreign paper tells II most
interesting story of an American
horse:
In the year 1872, during a skirm-
ish with the Sioux Indians, the
Third United States cavalry formed
an encampment in u valley on the
southern border of Dakota. AT
nightfall the horses were tethered
by long line to the ground. 10.
ward daybreak violent storm OF
rain and hail burst over the valley.
when the terrified animals broke
loose from their fastenings and tore
away up the steep sides of the val
ley into the territory of the enemy.
Without horses, 1T the mercy Of the
enemy, we wonld have been lost ;
yet it was impossible, in the dark
ness, to go after them into an un-
known country, probably full Of In
dians. The commanding officer, as
last resource, ordered the stable
call to be sounded. In few mimi
tes every horse had returned to the
G Lmn and we were saved.

sent a child home because her
mother was sick. The next day the
child presented herself at school
with her finger in her mouth and
little hood swinging hy the string,
and said: "We'se got a little baby
at our house, bnt mama said to tell
you it is not catching" The teacher
blushed slightly, said she was glad
and told the little girl to take her

complaints are made aud
at the experiment station re A
unusual deaths of range
chiefly cattle, suspected a
poisoning. Accompanying .
reports are various theories respect
ing the identity of the suspected
poisonous plants, "lobelia," lark
zpur," and loco weed" (crazy weed !
are names offered as heing the pro-
bable plants to which these unusual
deaths are to be ascribed.
There seems to be but little foun-
dation for suspecting these plants,
however, since the only representa-
tive of the lobelia family of plants
known to be at all common in west
ern Nevada, is an insignificant lit
tie herb having most uninviting
wiry herbage. While the plant is
found very generally scattered over
the hills it never occurs in album
dance. It does not appear until
later in the season than the deaths
referred to are reported; and fur
thermore, we have no we'll defined
reason for considering the plant
poisonous.
There is one kind of lnrkspur,
which is not deemed poisonous
Loco weed is considered poisonous
to some extent as are "wild sago"
and "sand corn"
