vein was encountered and the fine
2O0-ounce and 300-ounce ore disap-
peared. Arrangements were made
to continue sinking with the result
that within the past few weeks they
passed entirely through the barren
zone, re-encountcred the high grade
ore chute below the 500. foot level.
and now have every promise-o of an en-
during mine of great value. In
stead OF ore running as it did nearer
the surface, which was satisfactory to
anyone, the present output yields
assays as high as 1,553.O2 ounces,
which at SO cents for silver means a
value of k916.3S. One of the low
est assays in the high-grade streak
of ore is 1922 ounces, ranging
from that figure up. The moral OF
this is that rich surface ore does not
imply a loss of the ore chute with
depth or lessening in values.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

In q market fruit the first consideration
10 appearance.
Covering the soions up entirely in the
ground will save them from rabbits.
Grating l-year-old sticks can be done
In winter, ready for planting in the spring.
Use plenty of in the garden.
There is little dangerof getting the ground
too rich.
The family orchard needs q good many
varieties, some early, some medium and
some late.
In selecting varieties for planting, take
those that have been tested In your W
neighborhood.
Shriveled trees before planting may be
made plump by covering them for several
days completely with moist, mellow earth.
When wood ashes are applied freely
around peach trees, there is much less
danger of the trees being injured by the
borer.
Keep an eye to the future shape of the
trees and timely remove small, needless,
crossing or crooked limbs and avoid heavy
pruning later on.
Cultivation causes an abundance of
hbrous roots to be formed, and the growth
of any plant is measured by the number
of Its flbr0us roots.
All trees grown in the nursery or other
cultivated ground, and all trees not pruned
the year before transplantiDg grow better
than those taken direct from the Forest
st. Louis Republic.

TALES OF THE kLONDiKE.
The Sea Captain Had Been There, and He
Knew,

Knew.
"Is there gold up in i londike?" gasp
ed the sea captain as he put down his
glass Of whisky. SIS there gold? Why,
mate, there's enough sold in the Klon-
dixie to make a building the size of this
hotel and pay the guests board and bar
bills for a year. Gold?
Queer place? Yes, mighty queer.
Before / found out how queer it was l
came near getting killed half a dozen
times. When / first went in, a fellow
bunkoed me into buying an old, worn
out mule who was so crippled up with
rheumatism that he wasn't worth meat.
I lust turned him out and let him shift
for himself, but he would come back
home, darn him, and fight him away
rs many times as I liked, back he'd
come for feed that was mighty scarce.
One day / drove him away from the
cabin he hooked his foot and pulled out
a clog of mud that had caked in the
hoOf and frozen. 1 picked it up, saw
something in it that looked queer, took
it inside, melted it and took enough
gold out of it to buy a herd of cattle.
That COMPOUNDED mule had been wan.
dering around the dumps picking up
stray scraps of grub and accommodating
a fortune in his feet. After that | began
to encourage his visits to his once un-
happy home. and every time he got in
I'd search him. He was up to the time

A Days Hunt.

Chas. Warmbrod, Robert Party, +. NJ.
Kempfer, Joe Shelton and the editor
of the HERALD, named in their correct
order from homely to handsome, went
out the first of the week to camp in the
Kibbey country, and to pursue the fes.
tive grouse. as the law protecting these
birds expired on Monday. The compa-
ny got a few chickens, and mosquito
bites, principally the latter, and saw
nature in all her gNyest robes. They nj
so suw her with no robes ut all, and in
the most dcsolatc canyon retreats of that
rock ribbed country the bull grouse and
pintail hen would make insulting grim
maces at the whole COMPANY. This was
because the editor wanted to give the
rest Il little show, and so he never fred
at Il bird till the other would-be nim-
rods had sent shot after it. Then he
would bring it down. 1t was not long
before the man of combined skill and
brains had killed all the birds the law
allows for one day. The hunting was
especially good on Mr.. York,s ranch
in fact. one of the crack marksmen
could hardly be induced to leave that
place. One coyote, six SnOwshOe rab.
bits, two owls, Il black eagle, and Sc
chickens were the fruits Of the chase.

Deep Mining.

With the possibility of deep min
ing comes a greater breadth of in
telligence relative to inducements
for deep mining. Scarcely had the
world learned to believe that copper
ore is of indefinite depth, than prac-
teal experience dissipated the de-
fusion that gold mining is purely a
surface proposition. There is really
no reason for believing that gold
and silver ores do not extend to
a great depth, except that pinching
ore chutes and barren one have
been construed as natures definition
of the end. This Interpretation has
unfortunately interfered with min
ing in many localities, where even
comparatively little depth had been
attained. 1t is often the case that
in high grade mines a barren OF
very low grade zone is found three
or four hundred feet below the sur.
face. Sometimes this zone becomes
so ziuoiferous and refractory that the
ore is scarcely worth hosting. Blu,
below this zone the high grade ore
is resumed and followed until al
somewhat irregular intervals the
zones reappear, the r cbutes as 1
rule being displaced thereby ye'
practically continuous in character.
A practical illustration has recent.
ly been afforded in Montana, in the
high grade silver district Of Lumr
gulch. When the pioneer mine o.
that district, the Liverpool, reached
a depth of about 400 feet q bsrreI

PITH AND POINT.

So many people forget that glass is easily
broken.
Everyone has reason to foel ashamed
about something.
When a man worries Il great deal, he
says he is overworked.
If you rattle money in your pocket, you
will always find a borrower.
Youth is the only thing worth having,
and that is about all youth has.
Few people annoy their enemies, but
nearly every one annoys his friends.
Do a great deal for Il man, and he will
finally become your worst enemy because
you don't do more.

questions for Information. The modern
boy asks his father questions to ''catch"

Pine Hill Cemetery.

The Ncihart Miner is mistaken in the
charge of neglect which it brings against
the head officers of the different socie-
ties respecting the care of Pine Hill
cemetery. And a little inquiry by the
various reporters Of that paper would
have elected the truth.
The facts, as they are given The HER.
AID by VIM. Schuman, Noise Forget,
and Frank Putnam. are far from afford
ing a cause for blame to rest upon the
committee. The A. O. L. w. turned
over the cemetery enclosed and a sum
of S42.50, to the head officers of the va
rious secret societies sometime IN April,
1893. The fence which had been built
around the ground proved to be a cheap
job. and as soon as the ground thawed,
the whole north side of it fell down.
This had to be rebuilt. The committee
has submitted a report of its finances to
the HERALD that the public may know
what has been done with the money.
The report from Treasurer Forget is as
follows:
