Mines in Jacksons Hole.

A correspondent to the Dubois
Enterprise from Jackson's Hole
says:
The last storm has caused q
great loss of elk. The thousands
of head wintering in the bottoms
and around Park City are com
meneing to scatter, leaving the
weaker ones dead. But the hill
points are becoming bare Of snow
and we hope the worst is over.
Quartz and placer mining is all
the talk at present, locations being
made and preparations for work
going on in the different localities
where discoveries have been made.
The Teton Gold Mining company
are pushing the big canal, which
will irrigate about 10000 acres Of
good land. It will soon be finished
and able to furnish water for the
placer ground which lays along
Snake river. The construction Of
this canal will cost about $4,000.
Prospectors are now very much
excited over some very rich float,
found on the Gros Ventre river,
which shows free gold. This ore
has evidently, come down the Gros
Ventre river, but how soon it will
be located remains to be seen.
It is claimed by a man who used
to live here that in a gulch Of the
Grand Tenton mountains native
lead can be gathered in large guam
titles and that the Indians used to-
go there for lead to make bullets.
This would seem quite reasonable,
as the formation Of the country is
very favorable. The blue lime is
underlaid by the prophyry and.the
prophyry is underlaid by quartzite.
The contact of either of these is
likely to carry galena. Coarse
gold was discovered near the south
line of the Natioual Park late last
fall and on inqulring the discover
er found it was in the forest re-
serve. A meeting was held here
and petition framed, praying our
representatives to use their influ-
enee Immediately to have this re-
serve opened to locations of miner
al. This petition has been signed
by nearly every one and will be
forwarded to Senator Clark at
Washington in few days.
Spring will soon be here and
with it our spring goods and in
order to make room for them we
shall sell for the next thirty days

Some Tested Forage Crops.

offered to dairy farmers and cattle
feeders desiring an abundance of
green forage for grazing purposes
for their stock during the dry sea-
son of summer.
This advice is particularly appli-
cable to those sections of the State
where the growing crop is depend
ent upon the slight rainfall Of
summer.
Where irrigation is practiced tie
question Of forage does not arise.
Many Of the crops described, how
ever, give excellent satisfaction
where grown under This condition.
FIRST YEAR CROPS.
In order to secure results the
first season some kind of grain
! wheat, barley, oats and rye is
usually selected. They arc sown
singly or mixed. They, as rule,
make better "hay'' than pasture
and should be cut not later than
the dough" stage.
The best grain crop is spring
sown, fall or winter wheat. WheE
sown as Indicated it does not ripen
the FIRST season but expends its
force in stooling out and covering
the surface with green carpet of
rich succulent food The growth
during extreme drouth is vigorous
ard uniform. After passing the
winter the crop natures in the US
ual manner Of fall grain and is
ready for the harvester by the
middle of July. This surplus
growth Of the first season should
be kept down by pasturing. The
advantage of this system is that
it gives direct return and at the
same time accomplishes the aim Of
the expensive summer following
system.
Sow at the rate of II bushels per
acre. Use a drill as this method
offers a better protection to the
roots than broad-caating.
GRASS CROPS.
When some kind of grass is
desired for either pasture or hay
we recommend the following va
rieties:
1. Bronze Grass, (Russian for
age grass An excellent variety
for farm purposes. Grows rapidly
and yields abundantly. Does well
on either dry or moist soils. Its
large leaf surface and tender stems
render it much more valuable than
orchard grass. Tt il hardy per-
ennial and may be sown in fall or
early spring. Produces a fair crop
the first season. Is ready for the
mower July 18th. Sow between
IS and 20 pounds Of seed per acre.
Use only western grown seed.
2. Orchard grass. Our second
choice. A vigorous growing peren-
nial grass well suited for this
section. Must be cut before the
stems become tough and woody.
Sow in fall or spring using 80
pounds of seed. Is ready for hay
July 1st.
3. Tall oat grass. A tall grow
ing variety with very weak stems.
Grows rapidly and makes very
good early pasture. Does not
make first class hay. Forty pounds
OF seed per acre is the usual guam
tity.
4. Rye grass, English and
ltalian.) Both of these varieties
do very well here. They are low
spreading perennial grasses with a
rather tough foliage, and thrive on
all kinds of soil. In sheltered sit
uations they remain green all year.
They form excellent sheep forage
Are not suitable for hay. Sow 7OI
pounds per acre.
5 Timothy is recommended
only for moist situations. Sow Is
to 20 pounds per acre. Where a
general purpose meadow is desired

FERRYBOATS.
/ Tho Mind That Were In Use Hundred
Years Ago.

Tho Mind That Were In Use . Hundred
Years Ago.
Tho horse boats between the cities Of
New York and Brooklyn may be cited
as early attempts to solve the problem
of transport by water An interesting
feature of these early constructions was
the use of water wheel IL feet or 90 in
diameter, with "a fcats, the latter in
clined slightly to the radius SO as to
avoid the lifting of the water, which is
SO troublesome feature OF the radial
float. These horse boats appear to have
been Of three general designs. In the
first frame, shaped somewhat like the
letter "a" or an inverted ~" was
mounted to turn around its vertical
axis. Four cf these frames, dividing the
circle into eight parts, made a sort of
skeleton cone, and this cone was caused
to 1evolve by eight horses moving in a
horizontal circular path about 20 feet
in diameter. The face gear, Is feet in
diameter, drove a three foot pinion
mounted upon the axis on the water
wheel shaft and the wheels were within
the frame in an opening between half
hulls.
The second plan was Of q conical
skeleton frame at an incline Of about
one in two, SO that the horses had to
travel up this inclined surface, causing
it to rotate with their weight and trac-
tion.
In the third plan-a smaller design
the paddle wheels were brought into q
well between the two half hulls Of the
boat, catamaran fashion, as in the first
arrangement, and the frame was mount
ed above the wheels, and its rotating
motion was transmitted by intermediate
idle wheels to the water wheel shaft
Boats of the first and second class seem
to have been about rs feet long.
1t is interesting also to observe that
the swinging bridge for ferryboat serv-
ice had been already thought out by
Fulton early in this century, with its
counterweight construction and its
windlass for making the boats fast
Such boats seem to have drawn little
over two feet of water and to have had
perfectly fiat bottoms, like scows. Pro-

WANT A CHANGE.

There is a movement on foot
among a certain class of men who
insist that they are not as good as
the more fair comple1ioned people,
to have tie Commissioners to place
one of their number on the school
board.
The Commissioners will not do
anything of the kind. Whenever
certain colored people imag-
inc that they are Disseminated
against, that moment they would
over-do the thing. if they were put
in power. Their candidate is as
black as ink and yet he is married
to lady nearly white. He has no
executive ability nor would he make
a trustee If he were appointed.
Commissioner Ross knows who
to place on the school board at the
proper time.

RECORDER CHEATHAM.

Recordar Henry P. Cheatham
relieved Charles High Jinkins Tay-
lor from official duty on last Tues
day morning. 1t was a sad scene,
to see High Jinks, so reluctantly
give up that four thousand dollar
plum. Just think of it. High
Jlnks' pets will be relieved also.
Mr.. Cheatham intends TO establish
such reforms that the people of
this city will appreciate. One
thing about Mr.. Cheatham, be is 3
gentleman. When the personal Of
his office is changed the people will
then see the difference in man
who knows his business and one
who has got his business to learn.
Yes, High Jinks has gone, never
to return to official life again
Who will mourn? Some few may
perhaps shed tear and wonder to
themselves, what fools these mortals
are. A man who could have been
the greatest in the history of his
race. has no one to drop a tear
of sympathy.

BITTER ENEMIES STILL IN

| The old aeage "All things come

times. A year or two ago two off.
GERS, near the Auditor for the Post.
Office Department, were requested
by that officer to submit list OF
clerks whose efficiency was DOUBT
full, in order thai he might make
reductions and removals without
impairing the actual working force
of his Office. Upon this suggestion
these. men, one of whom it is
claimed was held over by the Harri-
son administration, proceeded to
present the required list. When
10 nearly every colored man in the
office was booked" for reduction
or removal, while dozens of efficient
white republicans, whose only
crime was that they were unfinch-
lngly republicans, were put down
to follow their more dusky broth
ers. The aforesaid list was so long
and contained the names of so ma
nv of undoubted clerical excellence
that the Auditor, in his disgust,
laid the list aside, and instead of
"demoting" or discharging the
clerks named in the list, made IN
quiry into it, and in fact pro
moted several who would 9TH
erwise have been walking the bricks
or been occupying clerical grades
out of all proportion to their de-
serts. 1t is also claimed that one
of these ''hoissers" was active dur
ing the Harrison administration in
A." inducing" his subordinates to
join a swindling scheme, by which
they were defrauded out of their
hard earnings. 1t would seem that
such men, who sought to mislead
one of their own party, ought not
be allowed 70 hold positions in
which their relations would enable |
them to deceive Mr.. Castle, the |
present republican auditor, who is
no doubt Inclined to do justice to
Ill of his clerks irrespective of race
,r politics. The sooner the Au-
litor gets rid of these men the bet
;er will it be for the service. An
Investigation ought to be made into
he matter at once. The BEE be-
ieves that it is the republicans
urn now, and that the republicans
hould demand the removal of the

A GOOD TEAM.

Senator Pritchard and Represen
tatiye White of North Carolins
deserve great credit for the fgh'
they made in securing the appoint
ment of ex- Congressman Cheatham
to the Office of Recorder Of Deeds.
Senator Pritchard has stood
manfully by the colored republicans
from his State and every day his
committee rooms are crowded
with his colored and white con-
stituents and he has not been the
man to turn any of them away if
he can help them.
Congressman White is making
himself very popular among the
people in this country. He is a
man who is not effected with q
swelled head. If both Senator
Pritchard and Congressman White
continue in their good work, they
can not help gainirg the confidence
of the people of this country and
their State especially. We admire
both men for their fighting quail
ties. They have sand and are

Denver, Dec. 2S.-The new commissions
of the postal clerks in the department will

the government decided to give the men
commissions only once, on which they
We're supposed to ride and transact bust
ness until they were removed. The plan
did not work well, and at the request Of
the western chiefs it was abandoned. The
commissions are small books bound in red
morocco and containing the actual COM
mission of the clerk as well his pho
tograph. They are good for travel over
railroad lines designated and are very
carefully gotten up with a view of pre-
venting counterfeiting. The photograph
of the clerk is so stamped that another
cannot be substituted without detection.
The color of the binding desgnates the
rank of the holder If merely clerk on
a run it is red. Officials connected with
the office are given a black book in which
the railroads of the district are enumer-
ated. The commissions in black binding
are good for passage over all lines in the
district, while the red books only cover
one route. All have the photograph of
the holder.
