Windmlls can be put to other uses than
that of drawing water on stock raisers
farms throughout Illinois for the cattle to
drink. This has been demonstrated by an
ingenious boatm on the lake front, who
has attached a mill to his toy yacht. The
fans of the mill revolve fastest when the
wind is high and the craft is one of the
swiftest between Michigan City and Wau-
kegan. The owner of the boat accepted a
wager that he could not construct a boat
which would he able TO make progress in
the teeth OF the wind. The bet was made
early in the spring. The boatman began
TO think all day long. Last Sunday he an
nounced that he had constructed a boat
according to specifications and was ready
to try it in order that his point might be
proved and his money won.
The craft when in the water proved TO be

stern rose a long vane, like those seen on
country barns, to show The direction of the

The Creamery Project

The creamery project is being dis
cussed by the farmers in the vicinity
OF Carson and all are very much inter-
ested. The committee having the
work Of isSuihg a prospectus in charge
will about the first of the ye4r have it
in shape to issue so that each rancher
will have q printed outline Of the whole
plan, and alter they have thoroughly
familiarized themselves with the de-
tails they will be in condition to meet
in Carson and discuss the matter intel
~ligently.
There has been a rumor that the
plan was to only pay 50 cents a hun
dred pounds for milk. This is untrue.
The price paid will be more than
double that. 1t will Of course vary &C
cording to the price Of butter. After
the enterprise is we'll on its feet it will
be turned over to the farmers them
selves to u m the cooperative plan.
After that the price paid for the milk
will cut very little figure as all the
profits will GO into the pockets of the
ranchers and they can fix their oEr
price for milk.

Boc3 nd Money

Perhaps money is the best frioI1 On
earth; but 1t takes a good deal OF money
to place one in such a position that he
can usually call on it with reasonable
certainty that it will meet his require
ments.
Books, on the other hand are often
valuable friends to the rich, the we'll
TODD, and the poor. In a book one
may have the result OF the best effort
OF a great and good life. Sometimes
the recognized wisdom OF ages is CON
centrated and set forth upon its pages:
sometimes the beauties unfOlded and
given from soul to soul bring the reader
near to heaven.
Books to be enjoyed need o be ex-
pensivc. II the right author be be
tween the covers, and if he speak in
clear type, large enough to be easily
read-such a book, for instance, as
Davis and Farrer sell in good cloth
binding for twenty-five cents and up
ward-it may give far more satisfaction
than others, much more expensive,
Then too, when you have read, or
re-read an old f~avorite which only COS
a trife, you may lend or give it to an
acquaintance without feeling that you
are making yourself poor.
These reflections hardly apply 70 the
fancy books for children. The child
is monarch OF Christmas time; and
those who would make offerings to de
light him may find in the same p1ac>
fancy coIored picture books in large
variety Of styles and prices.

The Band Dan3uetted

The following from the San Jose Mer-
curry would indicate that the Nevada
Band is receiving a hearty welcome in
San Jose:
The performance of the Garden City
Wheelman Ministries, augmented by the
great Nevada State Band, proved to be a
great attraction at the Auditorium last
evening. The attendance was certainly a
great improvement over the first night,
and a great deal more enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The Nevada band, with it's COM
plement of twenty-five musicians, proved
to be one Of the greatest hits of the even
ing.
After the performance the members Of
the visiting band were escorted to the
music rooms of the First Regimental
Band, in Sleeper Hall, and an elegant
banquet was served. After the good
things had been done ample justice many
toasts were responded to by the members
Of both organizations. The visitors will
be looked after while in this town by the
boys of the First Regimertal Band.

Judge Coffey of San Francisco is
making a determined stand against the
legal harpies who rob estates. The
looting Of estates by thieving attorneys
has become such a recognized industry
all over the coast that il islooked upon
as a legitimate business. Not until d
few of these miserable rascals are be-
hind the bars will the looting of estates
be stopped. These same thieves who
fatten off the dead have all the iispo-
sition Of high waymeR except the nerve
p risk a tussle with the living.
The British say they want to make
the Beers progressive and civilized.
The Beers seem to be quite up to date
in war tactics while England clings to
all the old methods. She seems to
have better guns, better Generals ard
better tacticions. Kruger ought to
open a night school and show the En-
glish something of modern warfare.
England will send more artillery to
South Africa. Better first find out
what particular make will suit Paul
Kruger as they will eventually fall into
his hands after they get there. He
does not seem to be very fastidous how
ever as he takes anything in the line
of artillery that they have to offer.

 ore SC, shipped carries from one to two

The mill Of the Commonwealth Mining company, built by Frazer & Chalmers of Chicago, With capacity of working 100 tons of Jre a day, is well located near the mouth of the main shaft upon the steep hillside, so that there is ample room for the regular fall of the ore and pulp from the tramw2y to the bins, the ccusnars, and the successive Cperatio The ore is first dumped into large retain ing bin, from which it is drawn as needed.

 Fine crushing and concentration at one operation on such material as the Congress ore is not a clean operation, but is probably the best process avail able, considering the very small sup ply of water. The concentrating per centage is in the neighborhood of 80 on $16 original ore, and the greater part of the loss is in the very fine shines. It is quite probable that closer work could be done by hydraulic classifying previous to concentration. but the changes in the mill necessary to intro duce this in proper way would be quite extensive. as the necessary fall between the batteries and vanners is at present lacking.

 tcen the case were the mode of forma-
 tion as suggested. Tn OneDart of the
 mine the dike has been crowded into a
 wrinkle, such as would be caused by eyerting a side pressure on the pages of a book. causing them to separate and leave more or less S-shaped cavl- ties. In the case of the dika this has been followed by the filling of these cavities by quartz and ore, making an unusual expansion in the size of the vcin.
 Underground Workings are three principal shafts on the Congress, all sunk on the vein and cOnfOrmably to it's dip. The No. 2 shaft is ct pres e1t the main working shaft, and has ttained a depth on the vein of 1,740 feet. The l, 1,700-foot level is now being opened and shows the dike and ore to Le continuous and strong to that depth. The No. 1 shaft is also used for WoIk- ing purposes, and will be carried down with the No. 2 and connected with it Gt intervals of about 200 feet for air and to block out the ground preDara- tory to stoping. The No. shaft is at present merely an air connection, but 2 hoist has been ordered capable of sinking it 2,000 feet, and it will ulti- Iaately become of great importance in the operation of the mine.
 The system of mining aimed at is to block out the ground by main levels, driven dead, approximately 300 feet apart. Slopes are then started at the shaft and rising above these levels. As the tops of the stopes are raised to the height decided upon as the proper dis tance for another level generally scventy-6ve feet), the level is carried in, practically being already formed by the stcpe, with the exception of Q lit

The ground stOped out is filled with waste as soon as pos sible, as the roof soon becomes heavy and the temporary supports put in dur ing stOping would crush without the fiirG. By this method of stOping a large part of the waste broken is kept under ground, serving the purpose of supporting the roof, saving hOi5ting, and causing the air to circulate upward along the working breast Of the seOpe3.

 these dikes, or perhaps it may be said
 that the dike is the vein, for ore has
 been found in the dike in all possible positions from one granite wall to the other, but generally occupying a posi- tiOn near the f0otwall and separated from it by a layer of vein seivage. The dike has a thickness Of about fifteen feet, measured at right angles to the walls, but this is uncertain, as we rare ly see the hanging wall in the mine. the drifts hUgging the fOOtwaIl and their height not being sufficient to ex- pose the hanging These greenstone dikes are crossed by other more nearly vertical dikes, having nCrtheasterIy and southWesteTly trend.
