Not many men would care for the
experience of Henry Holcomb, of New
York City, as human bee hive. Hol-
comb was wheeling in New Jersey
when he noticed few bees buzzing
along in front of him. At first he
thought the insects were trying to pace
him, and he laughed aloud at the idea,
but soon the buzzing grew louder, and,
glancing over his shoulder, he beheld
the bees hundreds of them chasing
him at full speed. 1t then became a
case of Henry Holcomb pacing the
bees, who wanted to make honey of
him, he thought. Faster and faster
he pumped the machine, but the bees
rapidly overhauled him. Soon the
queen bee landed on the back of his
neck, with her courtiers and ladies in
waiting. They crawled into his ears
and nestled in his hair. Whole colonies
of bees crawled down into the neck Of
his sweater and perched on his shoul.
der blades. They piled up in layers,
until the people who saw Holcomb fit
by thought he was wearing knapsack.
Finally he rode up to the house of
David Aldrich, bee tanner of Wilbur,
N. j., who placed a sheet on the
ground, stood Henry and bee hive in
the center and then beat tune ON a
dishpan. One by one the bees dropped
off and crawled into the hive. At the
end of five minutes Holcomb was en-
tirely clear of insects-and he es-
capped without single prod.

brought to town, some 80 pounds,
which is not picked rock, is as good as
any to be seen. The owners are elated
over the find and will, as soon as it

IN MEADOW LAKE DISTRICT.
The Toll Road From Cisco to the
Camp Nearly COMPLETED.

Dr. J. NJ. Dart of this city, who is the
president of the California Gold Min
ing company, whose property is located
in Meadow Lake district, in Nevada
county, California, has returned from
a visit to the mine, and he reports
having had a most enjoyable trip.
According to the doctor, the toll road
being constructed by B. A. Cardwell
and his associates from Cisco to
Meadow Lake is now in a fair way to
completion, and already teams can
be driven over it to within two miles
of the principal mines of the district,
and it is thought that within another
week it viii be open clear through,
which will greatly facilitate the de-
velopment of the camp, the result being
that there viii be a great deal of ac-
tivity there from now on.
DR.. Dart for the company has just
let a contract for 100 feet of work to
John Garrett. who began operations
day before yesterday, the idea of the
company being to first cross-cut the
ledge and then to drift on the vein; and
meanwhile some exhaustive tests and
experiments will be made on the ore
TO determine the best process for its
reduction. although the company has
already thoroughly satisfied itself that
it is a splendid mating and smelling
proposition.
1t is believed that during the season
one or more plants will be installed
in the district, as there is any amount
of ore exposed ready for milling in
some way, some of which carries ex-
cellent gold and copper values; but
the mineral is not free milling. as was
supposed % years ago, and it was the
erection of stamp mills in the camp at
this time that gave the district such
a black eye, as ii was soon demon
strated that the rock was not a free
milling proposition, and the old and
dismantleG stamp mills with which the
district is strewn today are monu-
merits to the bad judgment and folly
of the early pioneers of the camp.
In commenting on this early history
of Meadow Lake the doctor stated that
during his recent visit there he met
with several of the old claim holders
who had returned to relocate the
mines they had operated % years be-
fore, but they found that they had all
been taken I'D within the last two
years, and now they are looking around
for something else, as they are salts
fed with the future of the camp and
realize the failures they made in the
early days.
Quite a number of people are inter-
ested in Meadow Lake and it is be-
heved that they will do considerable
work there before the season is over

paradise, as game is plentiful and no.

Reports from Ophir indicate that the
Japan Mining company is doing some
good development, and it looks as if the
stockholders would soon be rewarded
for their faith in the mines. The latest
information shows that the change in
the method of development from fol-
lowing the main bedded vein in the in
cline, to following the fissure vein close
to its intersection with the bedded vein.
as was decided upon at the time of the
recent visit to the mine by several Of
the officers of the company, has proved
to be a move in the right direction The
work on the present contract shows
that is inches of the vein next to the
foot wall is a soft, decomposed, IRON
stained ore, carrying more uniform
values than the hard quartz found in
the bedded vein, and the rest of the
vein on the hanging wall is now more
highly mfneralized with the high grade
copper and silver-glance than at any
other place in the workings.
The contract work is progressing ia
yorably as the ground is of a much
softer character than it has been. The
work in the main incline has been nee
essarily slow on account of the ex-
treme hardness of the quartz. but I'M
der the new conditions, with good
ground and a nice showing of ore,
which is now being followed at the in
tersection of two veins. the manage
ment will certainly make a shipment
as soon as the present contract is com
pleted.
The company is to be congratulated
on its success. and the conservative
way in which it has handled the prop
erty. as The Herald is informed that
the officers have accomplished all the
work they have done in the last six
months. on the sale of less than one
half of their treasury stock, none of
which has been sold on the open mar
ket, but by subscription only.

the loans of the bank for the week

those of the Third National. which it
