ITS LIFE.-IMPREssIoNs.

LTVERED AT THE GRADUATING ExER-
CIsES OF THE NORWALK HIGH SCHOOL
In speaking Of both country and city,
in order to make the subject interesting,
one must deal largely with their charac-
teristics.
City people, especially those who are
born, bred and educated in towns, are
supposed, by many, to exceed country
people in intelligence. But, as an impor-
tant part Of knowledge is acquired by OBJ
servatioa and association, gentleman or
lady who has all the polish of city man
ners and all the information which city
life furnishes, and who has never had any
acquaintance with the country, would, if
placed among the country's refined soci-
iety, or in view of the products of the
fields, manifest most astonishing ignor-
ance. Such cannot distinguish fax from
hemp, wheat from rye, ana either from
barley. They cannot tell the difference
between pumpkin and squash, and do
not know whether they grow in the
ground like potatoes, or on the trees like
apples, never once suspecting that they
are the fruit of the vine. Eating, sleep
ing and dressing seem to be their chief
qualifications; pastures, aftergrass, in
ning-harvesCs, ETC.. are all Greek words
to them. IL to some you talk of plant
ing, wedding and haying It, to others of
skimming, churning and cheese-making,
they will stare at you in amazement and
gasp, s'What do you mean by all these
vulgar thingsso They pretend TO know
the world, and, though it is more safe
and cOmmendable, hey are ignorant Of
nature, her beginnings, growths and
bounties. Though this ignorance is the
resuES OF neglect, it is none the less mex
cusable.
An illustration of this can be found in
the story Of q city minister who was sent
as the pastor OF . country church. Being
very fond OF potatoes, and thinking It
would be nice to raise . crop and save q
great expense, he hired one OF the parish
toner's to plant spot for him. After the
farmer had accomplished his work and

A reporter for The DIAMOND DRILL

and found that many ching ~ had taken

boiler so that the water enrircles the
fire on all sides The boiler is To be used
for pumping purposes. We also found
that new compound, condensing, pot
form pump had just been purchased and
will be put in place as soon az room
can be made ready. The pumps very
large one capable Of raising 1000 gallons
per minute from depth OF 500 feet and
when it il in place there will be no more
danger OF being drowned out" at the
Columbia. On the dump there were
fifteen new, two-ton tram ears Tor use

ready.
| A gang oi carpenters were hard at
work getting the pocket ready and 80
soon az that is completed, which will be in
AVERY short time, they will start at work
getting tn ings ready for stocking ore. II
in the intention 81 the company to push
the output TO the almost during the
winter and a large stockpile will, no
doubt be raised during the winter.
Underground, attention IL bring cen
tered upon getting the long drift leading
to the new shaft ready Tor the tracks.
The shaft il completed to the bottom
and is ready for the skips.
About two hundred tons OF ore il
being hoistcd through the old shalt each
day but there il so much rock To be
gotten out Of the way that but small
part Of the time is devot' q Ia raising
ore. As soon as the tracks ARE ia hoist-
ing W i'll be started in the new shaft when
n very large daily output can be had.
1t il she intention Of the operators Ia
sink the shaft another level during the
winter 80 that in the spring they will
have two levels opened up and ready for
stopping. About $50 men are employcdat
the property now but this iorce will he
increased as fast as men can be had
The ColumhiH is good for AN output a
nearly POO 900 tons next year. Supt
Dyer has the mine well IN hand and il
pleased with the outlook for the coming
season. We sincerely hope that the
Columbia will have smooth sailing next
year and that the operators will be vel
repaid for the enormous expenses that
they have been To this season.
