Ex,sn, and We ,l,h Of Sump,er Gold Belt.

Al the ores OF the Susanville district
carry considerable silver values. The
shipping ore OF the Badger often runs rs
high rs 600 ounces per ton. There Is 1T
tie question but that the formation Is a
part OF the great Bonanza slate dyke, with
occasional intrusions oi porphyry and
serpentine. There is a remarkable siml'
iarity between the copper ore OF the BASE

TO distinguish them apart at first glance.
Tins is also an interesting fact when II Is
known that these mines are sixty miles
apart, and strongly tends TO prove the
wonderful continuity and extent OF the

MUCH FREIGHT HERE.
Big Outfit From Cripple Creek
to Haul II.

The Sumpter Forwarding company's
warehouses here are a sight to behold, IN
the way of miscellaneous merchandise,
furniture, hay, grain, etc., ETC., awaiting
transportation to points west OF Sumpter.
Over forty carloads are now stored there
and more coming each day, until the For
warding company has been obliged to
utilize the room beneath the main building
until the freight teams relieve its storage
capacity.
In conversation with one Of the COM
pany's officials Il Is learned that freighters
are In no hurry to contract this service,
expeeting to exact their own price at the
right time. In this connection THE MINER
man Is told that n. G. Willis, OF Cripple
Creek, Colorado, Is en- route to Sump'er
with the largest freighting outht ever
brought into the country, consisting CT
fifty or sixty freight teams and twenty-five
head of pack mules, on which he can load
from 700 to 400 pounds each, IN case the
roads are In such condition as to mai
hauling by wagon impossible, or extreme
" difficult, as they now are.
Il Is known that many OF the heavy
general merchandise dealers as tar west
as Prairie City and Canyon City, have
almost depleted their stocks by the heavy
trade of the past winter, caused by the IN
tlux Of new people filling M the country.
Now tina, the trade OF hundreds OF arrivals
daily is beginning, they are anNiously
waiting for their stocks, much Of which is
here and more coming constantly.
In this connection II Is pertinent to re-
mark that II the supervisors OF the county
roads In this part Of Baker county would
give more Of their attention to Improving
the roads hereabouts, and the funds
were more eauitably divided, giving this
part OF the county a square deal, those
officials would have the thanks OF the peo'
ple, instead Of some Of the harsh things
recently heard said Of them. Especially
can the road to Bourne be improved,
where Il follows the river the entire dis
tance and along the banks OF which are
plenty Of good wash gravel and boulders,
easy Of access, TO make a splendid turn
pike. As the Bourne district has several
oi the largest mines In the district and Is
aearest TO Sumpter, II Is natural that
most every new conner desires to go out
this road first and before going elsewhere
through the country; hence the Importance
Of having one good road, at least, to help
create a good impression on this class OF
travellers; rs well rs those who pay trib'
ute the year round.

Persistency Wins.

Persistency is characteristic OF all
men who have accomplished anything
great. They may lack in some other
particular, may have many weakness
es and eccentricities, but the quality
of, persistence is never absent in a
successful man. No matter what op-
position he meets, or what discourage
ments overtake him, he is always per-
sistent. Drudgery cannot disgust him,
labor cannot weary him. He will per-
sist, no matter what comes or what
goes; it is a part of his nature he
could almost as easily stop breathing.
1t Is not 90 much brilliancy of intel
lect or fertility of resource as persisr-
tency of effort, constancy of purpose,
that gives success. Peristency always
inspires confidence. Everybody Be-

they know there is no keeping him.

Remedy for Anxiety.

There Is only one practical remedy
for the deadly sin of anxiety, and that
is to take short views. Faith is con-
tent to live "from hand to MOUTH
enjoying each blessing from God as 1t
comes. This perverse spirit of worry
runs off and gathers some anticipated
troubles, and throws them into the cup
of mercies and turns them 10 vinegar.
A bereaved parent sits down by the.
new-made grave Of beloved child and
sorrowfully says to herself "Well, I:
have only one more left, and one Of
these days he may 60 off to live in p
home of his own, or he may be takens
away, and if he dies my house will be-
desolate and my heart utterly broken.H

tions of her own. If she could but
take q short view, she would see liv-
ing child yet spared to her, to be loved
and enjoyed and lived for. Then, in

would have one great possession to set

Sheep Ticks.

Many lambs are so seriously injured
by the blood-thirsty sheep tick that
they are lost without any thought of
the cause. These pestsshouId be hunt
ed INCREASINGLY until the flock is freed
from them. Early January is a good
time to examine the ewes, and free
them from these bloodsuckers, which
not only draw the blood and thus
weaken the ewes, but inf1ict much
pain and a constant tormenting irrita-
tion on the sheep. 1t has been found
a profitable operation to dip the sheep
lust before winter sets in to free them
from these pests. But this may be
done in another and easier way by
the simple method of pouring any Of
the common sheep dips, or even butter
milk, along the back of the sheep and
guiding the liquid down the sides SO
as to reach the ticks. Any viscous
LIQUID coming in contract with the
ticks will kill them by stopping their
breathing organs, which are placed on
their sides. Where there are but q
few ewes, they may he freed from the
ticks by opening the fleece and killing
the insects with small pair of
scissors, taking care to kill the young
ticks at the same time. These will be
in the form of round egg like bodies
scattered among the wool. These are
the pupae of the ticks, and should be
destroyed with the full-grown insects.

The Rubber Tree.

When you put on pair of over-shoes
or look. at rubber tire, do you ever
think of the rubber tree which gives
its sap for these useful articles ? ...
In Mexico the rubber tree once grew
wild-great forests Of rubber trees.
About 8 hundred years ago, it is said,
the Spanish Government sent q man to
Mexico to study its vegetable produc-
tions, and he discovered how valuableis
juice, sap or milk of the rubber tree, the
whichever you wish to call it. The
natives soon learned its value, and
they used the tree up, as we have our
forests, and did not think of the time
when there would be no wild trees to
furnish the rubber sap. Recently
some men have bought land and plant
ed rubber trees. These trees are self
propagating-that is, they sow their
own seed.
In the cultivated forest of rubber trees
the trees are planted to grow in regular
order, and the young shoots are cut
down or transplaned. The method of
gathering the sap is not unlike our
method of gathered maple sap, and
before the rubber sap is ready for mar
keC it must be boiled as our sap is to get
rid Of the water, and pressed into
cakes. Then the cakes are packed in
bags and shipped to manufacture the
many things into which rubber enters.
The milk or sap ofthe rubber tree is
white.

Conference year. That class will sure
ly make rapid progress and set q very
worthy example to others if it holds
steadfastly to its purpose as set forth in
these rules. How many classes are
there that will do likewise ?
l. At some time during the week
shall conscientiously prepare the lesson
for the coming SABBATH, using my Bible
along with the "he'ps."
2. shall endeavor to be regular and
prompt in my attendance, and shall
try to take part in the opening and
closing, as all should do.
8. shall endeavor to be orderly and
quiet coming in and going out, and
shall not engage in conversation about
anything but the lesson, or do any
thing calculated to divert the attention
of the class from the recitation.
4. shall endeavor to make con-
tribution of some amount every Sum-
day, and thus do my part to meet the
current expenses of the school for
literature and supplies.
S. shall endeavor to encourage q
generous rivalry for the class, by
which is meant the highest grade for
both scholarship and department,
and shall seek to merit the esteem ofalI,
more especially those of our class to
strengthen the "classties," and to pro-
mote the happiness of the world in gen.

class, our school. our Church, our coun-
try, and our God is our motto. Amen!

Ammonia varies very much in
strength, but the following proportion
is usually strong enough; Two tea

on the board to dry, when it will be
found smooth and ready for use. If
the ribbon is required at once, it may
be ironed Immediately after the clean.

the ironing sheet, with blanket be-
meath, and over the ribbon place either
a clean, smooth piece of muslin OF
paper, and iron with fairly hot iron.
