AN AMUSING NOCTURNAL INCIDENT

Mr.. McRae's Work Accepted by
the Company.
WATER FLOWING TO GRANITE
Nearly a Milton Feet of Lumber Re-
quired to Complete the Work-It
Will supply the Town With
Water and Power.

The Fred Burr hume. which has been
under construction for the past three
months, has at last been completed,
and the water from lower Fred Burr
lake now flows to Granite, where it is
being utilized AS motive power at the
works of the Granite Bimetalllc Consoll-
dated Company. and also furnishes the
water supply for the town of Granite.
The work of construction has been in
charge of Mr.. J. r. McRae, under whose
supervision it was successfully com
pleued last week. The tlume is two feet
by two feet in the clear. and is over four
miles long. Nearly million feet of
lumber were used in Its construction.
The water is taken from over Fred Burr
lake. where dam of solid masonry has
been constructed for the purpose of con
verting the lake into a large reservoir
and thus insure an even and continuous
flow of water through the tlume all the
year round. The tlume is laid in the
ground. and sufficiently protected from
snow slides, so that interruption IN the
water flow is not probable.
Aside from furnishing the town of
Granite with an abundant water supply,
| there is water sufficient TO develop lO0-
horse power, which is to be utilized at
the Granite cOncentrator and other
works Of the company After the water
leave, the works at Granite it flows
down Douglas creek and is again taken
up for use at the mil of the Consolida.
ted company at Clark. Over two months
of actual work upon the tlume was re-
quired to complete the same. an ar
average of thirty. seven men were EN-
ployed thereon during that time.
Prior to taking charge of the con
struction of the Fred Burr Hume. Mr.
McRae made some extensive repairs fol-
the Granite Bimetallic Consolidated
Company on the Flint creek tlume. a.
| Flint creek falls, where snow slides or
the mountain side had carried it ava.
in several places. The repairs were
made some ten months ago and hav'
met the requirements OF that partlcula
part of the canyon, where snow slide
are quite frequent during the winte
months. Mr.. McRae also constructed
the gravity tramway from the Granit'
hoist to the ore bins at the Bimetalli
mine, distance of about quarter of ;
mile. This tramway has attracted th'
attention of every one who has visited
Granite and works like a clock
Mr.. McRae, having completed his con
tract with the company, departed Tues
day for Butte, going overland by way O
Anaconda. From there he goes to Sal
Francisco. where be will enter the EN-

HEALTH BETTER THAN GOLD.
4 PIONEER OF GRANITE COUNTY
RETURNS FROM ALASKA.
Found an Abundance of Hartships and
Suferings. But No Gold, in the
KlOndiL<e Placer Fields.

Sim Shively, the weil-known placer
county, arrived Monday from Seattle,
where he had been since he came down
from Dawson several months ago, undsr
medical treatment Mr.. Shively has
endured many hardships since his de-
parture up north about two years ago.
1t will be remembered when he left hale
and hearty, full of hopes and deter.
mination, IN company with his nephew.
They reached the gold fields, but did
not happen to be among the lucky ones
who got hold Of valuable ground.
When Mr.. Shively's nephew came out,
about year ago, he endeavOred to have
his uncle accompany him. He would
not yield, however but was determined
to remain at least another year and con-
tinue his search for gold which he came
thousands of miles to dig from the
frozen gravel of the famous Klondike.
| Mr.. Shively is typical western miner
and well accustomed to the hardships
of frontiersman, but the trials of life
! in the land of the midnight sun were
too much for his advanced age, and he
at last became i'll, and for the past ten
months it has been battle of life and
death with MIN. In fact it was reported
that Sim had died and such news
reached this place; but thanks to his
iron constitution he survived, and at
last has returned home to his friends
J who received him with open arms.
| When he realized that. he could not get
well if he remained up north he boarded
steamer at Dawson and came out to
to Gods own country. Arriving at
Seattle he was unable to proceed fur
ther, and was compelled to go to "a hos.
pital for medical treatment.
Mr.. Shively has not yet fully recov-
cred from his illness and shows unmis-
taxable signs of having had pretty
hard time of it. His old friend, John
Il. Mclean, came in from Rock creek
Tuesday and took Sim out to the ranch,
where he will soon recuperate. A con-
tinual shaking of hands with his scores
of friends since he stepped off the train,
Monday afternoon, kept Sim pretty
busy during his brief stay in the CITY,
and as only a limited number of his
friends have as yet had the pleasure Of
congratulating him upon his return, it
is expected that he will have to make a
visit to town for several days after he
becomes somewhat stronger and relate
some of his trying experiences in the
gold fields of Alaska.

urday from the Antelope mines. where

Mrs. James A. Murray and Silas F.

of thirty-foot cut and seventy feet Of
tunnel, thirty-fve feet Of which it was
necessary to timber. Mr.. Mitchell has
had several men assisting him in this
work and it was done in frst-class
manner. He is thorough miner, and
understands his business.

THROWN FROM A PHAeTON.

j. a. Mckenna Falls on His Head. But
Escapes Serious Injury.
j. A. McKenna of Kirkville came near
being seriously injured in a runaway
last Monday. He was driving his gray
horse hitched to a phaeton, when some
thing frightened the animal and it be-
gan to kick and run. Mr.. McKenna was
thrown from the vehicle falling ON his
head, but escaped serious injury. The
horse came on to the city and down
Broadway. where collision with an
other vehicle was narrowly averted.
The phaeton became detached near the
foundry, and aside from broken shaft
was not materially damaged.

Sore Shoulders in Horses

The poor plOW horse usually suffers
severely during the early spring and
summer from sore shoulders due in
most cases to illfitting harness. 1t is
too late to remedy the trouble this
summer, but it is a good time to get
the horse in shape for fall work. The
collar should be made so that it can be
adjusted as often as is necessary to fit
the animal snugly. It should be looked
after daily to see that it does fit, for as
the labor of the horse increases he is
apt to lose flesh. After the collar is
taken off, and this applies to all collars
on all horses, it should be washed
thoroughly and wiped dry each time.
and the shoulders of the horse should
be thoroughly cleansed with water as
hot as he can bear it without scalding.
Dry well. Boil a quantity of green
white oak bark in water until all the
strength is obtained, add to half
pint of alcohol. When the vitriOl is
dissolved and the mixture is cool, rub
some of it on the shoulders with the
hand. Do this three times a day after
the shoulders have been washed with
hot water as directed. This treatment
will tend to harden the shoulders so
they will not get sore if the collar fits
reasonably well.-Breeder and Farmer.

ed at the expense of the vitality Of the
tree.
LII tree roots seem to have but a linn
tied power of selection of 1OOd ele-
ments when presented in excessive
quantities and the putrefactive pro-
ducts OF organic nitrogen fertilizers
not only produce coarse, poor favored
fruit, but derange the sap functions
and produce disease. If there is a low
percentage of potash and the soil is
low and liable to saturatiOn with bog
ore solutions the conditions are still
further aggravated and in few years
dieback, foot rot or limb blight are al
most sure results.
An ample supply of phosphoric acid
in the sap is necessary TO enable plants
to convert the sugars into fluid gums,
and the gums into cellular tissues. The
iron solutions may revert the phOs-
phoric acid in both soil and sap or the
putrefactive ptOmaines partially par
alyze the protoplasmic sap functions
so that the tree is hindered from con-
verting the transitional gums into Gel
lular tissue and they accumulate in
such quantities as to rupture, or sour
and destroy the bark
An Overfed thee is also more liable
to the ravages of insects.
In conclusion we would recommend
conservative methods of cultivation
and fertiliZing as the best preventives
of insects and diseases.
With bearing orange trees a properly
proportional chemical sulphate fertil-
izer with cessation of cultivation and
shading of the soil with grass or other
green growth during the rainy season,
has proved the safest general method
of maintaining healthy trees and pro-
ducing high grade fruit.-Paper read
before the State Horticultural Society
