FROM THE FARTHER WEST

Quoted, all OF which add to the store OF
knowledge, which will be most valuable to
the tiller Of the soil
"A very exhaustive study OF the poisonous
plants OF Montana is being conducted by
Drs. r. v. Wilcox and Jennings. A recent
bulletin Of the poisoning OF sheep by lark
spur. by Dr. Wilcox, is now being dis
tributed. In experiments conducted and re-
searches prosecuted in 1897 II is most
clearly demonstrated that this plant which
is very generally distributed in all the graz
ing districts Of the state, Is very poisonous
to sheep. This was determined not only by
studying the effect Of the plant eaten when
green by sheep, but the same results were
obtained-death to the sheep-by extracting
the poisonous principles OF the 1arkspur
and administering to the sheep. Better still
remedy has been determined and mode
Of treatment given to save sheep not too
badly affected by the poison. A special edi-
tion Of the bulletin Of 1000 copies, bound
in heavy MANILA paper. has been made
especially for sheep herders' use upon the
range. These will be mailed to any resident
OF the state interested in sheep culture.
"A complete exhibit Of wheat. oats and
barley, both in the grain and straw, grown
at the station farm. has been prepared for
the Omaha exposition and will be in evi-
dcnce TO substantiate the claims that have
been often made that Montana produces the
finest grain on earth. Lieutenant George
p. Ahern, who has the chair of forestry in
the Agricultural college. Is now engaged in
making a collection of the woods of Mon
tana for the same exposition. The exhibit
tion should have much to do with dis
proving the erroneous opinion that Montana
is bleak. tmberless region, and when
the splendid collection OF photographs Of
standing timber Of the state is shown in
connection with the timber specimens it
will do much to give proper idea of the
extent and value Of the timber resources
of the state.
"A recent interesting addition to the sta
ton equipment is model greenhouse,
| twenty by forty feet. This will be used for
| experiment and instruction. Many Of the
vegetables in which experiment work is be-
| ing carried on are started under glass and
| thus given much advantage over hotbed or
cold frame culture and in the greenhouse
| are many plants used to give students in
botany the opportunity to study living spec
| linens in the winter season. when 1t would,
of course, be out of the question to procure
out of door plants. Here, too. are propa-
gated the many flowers used to decorate and
ornament the station and college grounds.
Sufficient attention is paid to flower culture
| to demonstrate what can be done in these
pleasant lines in Montana"

1t Has Been Paying Well, Especially

IL Has been Paying Well, Especially
in the ''MOther Lode" of the Camps.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 7-(Special)-
Deep mining in California. especially in the
"mother lode" belt, has proved that it pays
better than any other. In some of the
best paying mines in the state the results
were good from the surface down, and in
others the upper levels were either bar
rem or contained low grade rock Of small
value. In the Gwin mine, in Caaveras
county only low grade ore was encountered
for the first 400 feet, but between the 400
foot and 900-foot levels $40 ore was pro-
duced. Over 100000 had been paid in
dividends, and the mine was down to 1900
feet when it was abandoned by reason Of
extensive caves. 1t lay idle for nearly
twenty years, when 1t was reopened and
S15O,OOO was spent in getting the property
into shape again and in pushing the shaft
to a depth of 1.5O0 feet. 1t now has a pay
chute over 1900 feet in length, and its
forty stamp mill is kept constantly busy.
In the same county the Utica, down over
1900 feet, is a big producer and constant
payer of dividends. while the MelCnes, at
!, 900 feet, and the Lane G. Tullock. at 1850,
are also good paying mines. In Amador
county the Kennedy now the deepest in the
state, was at first worked to a depth of
600 feet on low grade ore. and then aban-
doned, because at that time such ore could
not be worked proftably. When It was
reopened $15 ore was found on the 900-foot
level, and since then it has paid $4,000, 900
in dividends and its present value is tar
UP in the millions The biggest body of ore
ever found In this mine was developed as
vertical depth Of 1900 feet. The shaft
is now down 240O feet. The Keystone,
also in Amador county, produced gold ore
near the surface and paid several million
dollars In dividends before it was abandoned
at the 1900 foot level. Then new owners
took hold of 1t, sunk deeper, and soon had
the property among the big producers again.
The Eureka, at Sutter Creek, for the first
400 feet produced rock that yielded only $3.50
per ton. 1t has since. worked to the 1900
foot level, made an output Of over $15,000,-
900. The Zeila, down LOO feet, and the
,, Wildman- -Mahoney. 1,4O0 feet, are also good
properties. In Nevada county the Provi-
dence and the Omaha each down 1,7OO feet,
the North Star. 2.1O0; the Idaho Maryland.
3,100 on the incline and 2,2o0 in the shaft;
the Champion, '2,1OO, and the Empire, 2,40o,
have records OF millions, and have produced
greater value at greater depth The EN-
! pire has been a producer since 1857, and its
, product shows no sign Of diminishing. The
Banner mine. in Butte county, another good
producer is down 1000 feet.
