He became suspicious and felt for his purse

himself from the old gentlemsn's grasp and
slipped hurried:y away through the crowd.

MINING NOTES.

Thirty tons day is the amount OF
concentrates produced by the Sixteen
to One mill at Wallace, Idaho.
The imports of gold were in excess OF
exports $135,00O.o00 last year. Thus
the United States was best able to sup.
ply England when the demand arose.
At last reports the woorkmen In the
Nine-Mile Mining Company's lower
tunnel on the Speckled Trout, at Wal.
lace, were finding some galena nearly
all the time.
The Black Bear at Loomis, Wash,
Is rich as ever. For q week the drift
at the 100-foot level has been running
through ore showing free gold visible
to the naked eye
Information from Weiser, Idaho, is
to the effect that parties just in from
the Heath district report that there is
much excitement there over a strike
made in the Ruth mine.
The Northwestern Sampling Works
at Wallace, Idaho, now has force of
over twenty men employed and still
cannot handle the ore as fast as it
comes down from Canyon creek and
Nine Mile creek.
A strike is reported on Big Horn
mountain at Sunshine, Colorado, which
is said to assay $11 per pound. and II
expectations are realized another ship
per will soon be added to the list of
Sunshine's productive mines.
The Leslie Mining Company at Wal
lace, Idaho, has reached the farther
wall in its ledge, finding i. thirty feet
between walls. Most of the way it is
highly mineralized, and part of 1t is
good concentrating ore.
The mines at Goat Creek, a Methow
camp are coming rapidly forward.
Deserted by early boomers the camp is
now attracting the attention of more
practical men. Wide veins rich in
copper and gold are now being opened.
The Tiger & Poorman mine at Burke
will pay dividend of $10, 900 February
That Is to say that the Buffalo
Hump Mining Company. which is in
possession of the mine. will make its
first distribution of profits on that day.
The dividen is cent a share on the cap
ital stock Of 100000 shares.
The richest strike yet made in Kel-
Ter camp was that made in the Dewey
mine last week. One wall was pene-
trated, but not much attention was paid
to 1t until the following day, when some
ore was brought in which opened the
eyes of our people. and caused a gener-
al rush for the mine. The ore runs
from $1O3 to $3.50 in copper. The

Justice are all among the early ship.

Carrots Stuuted by Crowdinv.

Carrots Stunted by CrowdinR.
All kinds OF roots are much better II
given plenty of room In which to
grow. Probably no root suffers more
from crowding than the carrot, for the
reason that when it germinates the
leaves are SO small that 1t Is hard to
tell whether a cluster Of leaves repre-
sents one, two or three plants. 1t is a
great loss every way to allow the roots
to crowd each other in the growing.
The bulk Of two or three roots grow
ing together is not nearly so great as
one gOod-siZed carrot. The short horn
carrots, which grow partly out of the
ground, can be seen much better than
those whose roots are entirely below
the surface. And perhaps because the
short-horn carrot grows partly above
ground 1t is not injured SO much by
growing in clump. 1t is also more
nutritious than the deep-rooted carrots,
but 1t needs to be gathered before the
soil freezes very deeply, else the root
will not keep well. Parsnips can be
allowed to stand in the ground all win.

The Barnyard Problem.

There is nothing SO repulsive as a
wet and filthy barnyard, in which the
animals are compelled to walk knee
deep in filth. Such a condition Is not
necessary and can be prevented IL the
barnyard is kept well supplied with alb
sorbent material. Throwing whole
cornstalks into the barnyard is the old
method, but cornstalks do not absorb
until they are trampled to pieces, and
In the meantime much Of the liquids
are carried off by rains. It will pay to
shred the cornstalks or cut the straw
for bedding. while leaves and dry
earth may also be used In the barnyard

Root Vegetables for Stock.

"OOG Vegetables IOr stock
Turnips, carrots and potatoes contain
large proportion Of water, and though
such crops are bulky, yet the actual
proportion Of solid matter taken from
the soil Is small. Containing such n
large quantity of water, they are very
succulent and are equal to ensilage for
cattle, though ensilage Is cheaper in
cost. When cut or sliced or cooked
these crops can be fed In connection
with ground grain with greater profit
than in any other manner, and they
give greater value to the grain by as
