As many cOnlliyting reports hay

As many cOnliyting reports have been circulated concerning Iron creek and other creeks in the old Golden Gate district, the NUGGET has taken the trouble to get an authentic report as to the probable val Ie Of that par. ticular section, as a mining district. While the statements that are here with pub inhei do not show tIat the creeks in that section are rich, they promise to produce d soodly amount ot gold in the future. The cost oi g.tt;n" supplies into that district has been heavy, and this, coupled with the late season last spring and generally un- favOrab conditions during the sum mer, has largely affected the output this season.
 The NUGGETS informant, who worked on Iron creek all summer says: Up to the present date no real wo k has been done on Iron creek or its tributaries, except on Nos. Sand ,, Nos Land , Dome, anl Nos. and .,I eft Fork.
 "The Bonanza Mining Company, at a conservative estiu ate, have taken out $l5,000 on No. , Iron,. and, considering the cost of operating, it has not been q profitable season for the company.

 Judge Moves told the attorney gen eral that there is absolutely nU foundation for the charges made d. Ain.l him, and he took up the principal charges, one by one, and deiendcd him self against them. He represented that Wholesale criticism of his Uhiclai acts was the result of quarrelo beuWeen r4val mining interest, anI emphasized bis bcliei that no charge sustained D\ sufficient evidcnce had been filed in tL. department or published in any news papers that he had seen.
 Judge Moves .als that he had no Tre- ViOus arran- ements with Alexanucr Mckenzie hy which the latter was to be apnOnted recclyer Of the Anvil | creek clam upon then atrlN Va! at Nome, In answer 10 the com plant a.alnst ! the general system of receiv@roh r, Ill vogue ;lt Nome, Judge Noyes den Gu that he first suggested that remedy, and defends his action On the ground l that there were scattered a.Cns. tie beach last year thousands Ot un- employ ed men, who had been allureu to None by stories of wealth: that these men needed work, and that to close down the creek mlnes by in- junction proceedings. instead of allow Tn. receive els to 0. crate them under au. .,trvlsj1n oi the ,ourt would have caused great AardsLt,

DUCK QUARTERS.

and the growth of young duck is
something phenomenal; it grows with
amazing rapidity for dozen weeks or
so, when it should be marketed, if not
to be kept as laying stock.
Ducks, however, cannot very we'll be
kept in the poultry house, nor in the
barn or other buildings, since they are
never tidy housekeepers. Neverthe.
less, they need a comfortable place
place by themselves for then they
will yield good profit and without in
convenience to- the owner. A space
even only few feet high will suffice,
which can often be provided under a
barn, workshop or other building
as suggested in the accompanying pic
ture; and such quarters can easily be
cleaned out with hoe or rake, and a
new litter thrown in. This low pen will
be warm in winter, and so conduce to
early laying; while on the other hand,
it will prove a very cool spot during the
heat of summer, being thus conducive
to continuous laying.-Fred o. Sibley.

Announcement Of the coming mar

PROGRESS IN ENGLAND.
Quoted Under the Auspices OF;
the Countess of Warwick.

In Woman's Home Companion Miss
knobe tells about "The Lady War
wick School for Women Farmers.
In this rural spot, on the outskirts
OF Reading, only an hours run from
London, the beautiful and accom-
plished countess of Warwick is spon.
soring most original scheme where
by English girls may be coached in
agriculture. There are agricultural
colleges, to be sure, wherein limited
instruction is given the wrongly named
weaker sex; but in this singularly in
teresting school in England exclusive
" for women-the only one in Eng
land, if not in the worlds a thor
ough poetico-practical course, if it
may be so called, from the raising of
cabbages and chrysanthemums to the
building of pig-sty and the making
of a hay-mound. These sturdy daugh-
tiers of Ceres, in other words, are fit
ted to run farm.
"This unique school was opened in
October, 1898. The minimum period
of training is two years, and at the
end of that time a certificate is award
ed. The theoretical part of the course
is systematically pursued in the agri-
cultural department of the adjacent
Reading college. Many of the lee
lures occur in the winter, with rigid
examinations at the end of each term,
while the practical demonstration is
done at the hostel by the girls. There
is only one man about the place, q
horticultural instructor, who comes
three times a week. A registry de-
partment has been opened. Some of
the students have already secured
good positions, while others have
started Independently. In the mean
time the students are gaining a snug
income by the sale of their produce.
These girl students are receiving
more than scientific course, for the
social and athletic side is not to be
overlooked. Though some of the stu
dents are up with the lark-and at
Warwick hostel the lark is scheduled
to soar at precisely four-thirty-at-
tending to tasks in the field, there are
hours during the day and evening set
aside for recreation. Lively con-
tests in boating, tennis and hockey are
arranged.
''That this work is excellent from the
competitive standpoint of the world
may be acknowledged when it is said
these fair farmers dote on entering all
the big agricultural exhibits there
about, and carrying off string of the
prizes, moreover"

TRIMMING A HAT.

of this time the gentlemen who had
threaded the largest number Of needles
was said to have won in his particular
contest. He received point toward
the final prize.
The work of the ladies in umbrella
rolling was examined and pronounced
upon by the men. The lucky woman
whose rolling was considered superior
to that of her associates received a
point toward the ladies' prize, to be
awarded at the close of the festivities.
Driving nails and making button
holes proved to be the next number on
the programme. The nails were driven
by the women, while the men devoted
themselves to buttonhole working.
Each lady in the company was given .
strip Of soft wood, dozen nails and
a hammer, the men receiving strips Of
linen with buttonhole cut in them,
needles and thread.
A lively feature it proved to be. The
room rang with laughter and good ma
tured chatting. Points toward the finals

ing contests.
The awarding of these points was
followed at once by brisk round, in;
which the gentlemen trimmed cheap
straw bonnets with flowers and rib
bon, and the ladies puzzled over lengthy
examples in commercial arithmetic.
The results of these tasks were
Judged by a committee, formed of per-
sons of the opposite sex. The two most
successful players receiving as before
point towards the prize.
The next feature was, If possible,
even more gayly absurd and fun pro-
voking than those which went before,
for here both divisions of the company
were given pencils and paper, the gen.
tlemen being asked to write directions
for making fancy dishes, such,as angel
cake, sweetbread patties and chicken
croquettes, while the ladies were called
upon to say how they would go about
investing in stocks.
A longer time was allowed for this
difficult feature than in the foregoing
bouts. Each side had Is minutes in

make an almost square frame, using
II of the lath pieces, as if making a
box with one corner left out. On in
side of this frame, at desired height,
nail two heavier and longer pieces for
handles. A couple of 3x1-inch boards,
proper length, and with one end
of each narrowed down to fit
the hands, will answer for the
handle pieces. On the bottom of
frame, nail lath or boards, letting the
two nearest to center project about
six inches in front. These two should
be little heavier than the others, to
prevent springing. Between the pro-
jecting ends, place a small wooden
wheel six or eight inches in diameter.
This wheel may be a circular piece cut
from a or 1h-inch board, and have
light iron band fitted on to keep it
from splitting, or be a wheel from an
old barrow or something similar. A
light, wire spoke wheel from toy
wagon is excellent for the purpose.
Axle on which wheel revolves is at
tached to under side of the project

over it into each piece. The two rear
upright pieces of frame extend down

act as feet. Put braces across front,
as indicated by dotted lines, to
strengthen frame and hold in the
straw. Other light strips may be
tackled on side of frame to serve the
same purpose. If the contrivance is
made of the right material, it will

At the end of this supreme test

The lady holding most of these re-
