Orcas Island Gold Mine.

President w. E. Markham, of the Sun
set Gold Mining Company, has, at the re-
quest of the stockholders of the company,
submitted a report covering the interim
between December ii, 1899, and the pres
ent time. After recording the extraOrdi-
velOpment he tells of his intentions to
Immediately put in the tramway to tide
water, and his reasons for so doing. His
report follows:
East Sound, Orcas Island, Feb. IA, 1900.
To Edward Lane, Secretary Sunset Gold
Mining Company, New Whatcom.
Washington
Quest will submit herewith an addition
al report of work on the Sunset Gold Min
ing property, since my last report of De-
cember III, 1899:
In said report I stated that had started
shaft to ascertain the downward course
of the vein. Sank down A #. then drifted
southeast q #. from shaft and tapped the
vein where found it in place and be-
tween two walls. At this point took out
q small handful of the decomposed vein
matter and washed it i'm my gold pan.
The results were that l had three fine
pieces Of wire silver and several good
sized colors of gold. / should think that
the whole vein of ten feet would go 500 per
ton in gold, silver and nickel. l have
about thirty-five feet of work to do at this
point, then I will commence the working
tlnnel and start to put in the tramway.
With three shifts can do this work in
twelve or fifteen days. We have been
taking out ore very fast lately and
should advise that we start to put in the
tramway at once, so as to ship and get rid
of the ore. as the ore of the l0-foot vein
takes lot OF room.

Burning Over Land.

Clearing land by burning it over is a
method that has come down to us from
the days when there seemed to be an un
limited supply of land and forest so
vast that it was looked upon as an inn
pediment in the way of agriculture.
Burning was the quickest way of Kidding
the land of its tree growth; therefore,
burning was followed. 1t was even sup
posed that the burning added fertility to
the land. So it did, fertility of a certain
kind, but it often destroyed a great deal
more fertility than it created, the Journal
Of Agriculture says. 1t is only within re-
cent years that science has pointed out
how great this loss is. The fires in Wis
cOnsin few years ago were investigated
by scientists as to the effect they had on
the soil. 1t was found that the hot Goals,
burned down to a considerable depth and
had really destroyed the humus that had
been accommodating for centuries. That
land may be used for farming, but it will
take generation to bring it back to the
fertility it had before the devastation by
fire. In fact, the land has been rendered
so poor that il is doubtful if it will pay,
under present conditions, to attempt to
use it for agricultural purposes at all.
There can be no doubt that many Of the
old farms that were cleared by burning
were permanently injured by the opera
ton. A single fire on n .60-acre farm has
often destroyed more humus i'm the soil
than has ever been put back in any form,
including the annual dressing of manure
The great paucity of vegetable fertility is
seen in the slOwness with which the same
lands recover themselves with trees and
grass. Where the land has been deeply
burned it often takes ten years for the
new trees tn even get a start, and after
getting the start their growth has been OF
a very stunted nature.
Of course there has been burnings
where the soil has not been impoverished,
but they were under exceptional circum-
stances. The mere burning of brush does
not affect the fertility of the soil. as a gen.
| eral thing, but it is always better in case
of burning brush from a large area tc
have good many small fires rather than
one large one. Ifone large fire becomes
| necessary it should be built on some spo,
where the ground is of such nature that
it is not likely ever to be needed for agri-
culture. OF course the nature of the soil
has something to do with the effect fires
have on it. A clay soil is more resistant
to the flames than light soil, while sol
very rich with the arcumulations of han.
dreds of years of follen leaves is injured
most of all.
