WILL COMPLETE WAGON ROAD
The Sinking of Large Shaft on the Helena
to be commenced Soon-Large Ore
Bins For Landore

Standard.
The feeling of doubt and fear of
the continuing of active development
and operations of the mines in the
Seven Devils, should no longer exist.
Though the camps history, compara-
lively speaking, is one of tumult and
gloom, its future will add an epoch
of brilliant and encouraging events.
" The Boston & Seven Devils Cop
per company are preparing for an
exceedingly active season and the
execution of greater work will this
year prevail since mining has been
carried on in this district.
The Helena has proven itself a
wonderful and valuable property and
can well assume the worthy name of
mine. The hosting plant used at
the Old Peacock during the past
year will be tran sferred and installed
at this mine preparatory for the
sinking of large double cOmparat
ment shalt on which work will be
commenced as soon as possible. The
one hundred tons of high grade ore
now on the dumps will be hauled to
the railroad for shipment when the
roads becomes in a condi tlon to pre-
nit. The machinery at the South
Peacock will be moved and used for
extensive work at the Old Peacock
mine where fifty miners will be en-
ployed in the near future.
Plans for ore bins of an enormous
capacity have been completed and the
erection of same will be commenced
in short time at Landore. This
is for the purpose of storing the ores
taken from the Peacock mines The
ore placed in these bins will be for a
reserve supply for the fulfilment of
! the contract with the smelter which
will be erected eight miles from
W eiser where a number of men are
now at work clearing and grading
for the foundation. Owing to the
impossible condition of the roads
under the White Monument through
the winter, it will be necessary to
trans fere all the ore during the sum-
mer, which will require the employ
ment of number of teams to pre-
form the work.
Work on the wagon road between
the Helena mine and Landore is be-
ing pushing along rapidly having o
force of twenty-five to thirty men
which will be kept at work until the
completion of the road, and under
the supervision of T. G. Jones it will
not be long until the road is in a
splendid condition for the public
travel. This is undoubtedly a bene
fit and an improvement of great i'm
portance to the camp as it will be
much more convenient for the haul
NO of ore from the Peacock mine tt
; Landore over this road than to follow
down Garnet creek and through De
corah.
Engineers are now engaged il
surveying route for the extension
of the wagon road from Landore t.
Bear, of which only a portion wa
completed last fall This road sofa
graded extends to the saddle on tn
divide between Indian and Bea
creeks, but as soon as the route ha
been decided upon large force o
men will be employed for the com
pletion of the road, which will, whel
finished, greatly improve the trans
portation facilities into the Seve
Devils.

MA lively little town has sprung up
at the mouth of the Little Salmon
River. The place has been named
higgins, in honor of John T. higgins,
the we'll known Salmon river citizen.
Already the town contains two stores,
blacksmith shop, saloon
and good hotel and feed
stable, besides a number of dwellings.
The ferry across the main Salmon on
the road to Warrens is located at this
point Being located at the junction
of the two valleys, Higgins is the
natural distributing point for large
section Of the country, and with the
completion of the State wagon road,
and eventually the P. & l. n. down
the Little Salmon, it would seem
that the new town has fair chance
to become an important business
center.

Care of the Refrigerator.

The care of the refrigerator is one
of the important details ofhousekeep-
ing which if left to the control of the
average maid will be sadly neglected.
Once a week is sufficient for it's thor
ough cleaning, and portion of GER
tain morning every week should be
assigned to it. First, remove every
thing from it. Take out the shelves,
wash them thoroughly in hot soap
suds, scald them and rinse in cold
water. Then, after they are wiped
dry, place them in the open air and
sun, if possible. In washing the inUe-
rior of the ice and food closets use a
skewer for the crevices and corners
and run wire through the waste pipe,
to be sure it is absolutely clear. Then
after thorough washing, pour a guam
tity of scalding water into the icebox
and follow it with generous supply
of cold. Wipe it dry and leave it
open for an hour or two. 1t is a good
idea to do the work before the arrival
of the ice man Exchange.

HOW THE SIOUX KEEP HOUSE.

[ am going to tell you something
about the uneducated Sioux women,
their dress and their home life, writes
Sioux Indian girl in Good HouseEeep-
1ng. The Sioux woman does more work
than the man does. Of course the
women do not know very much about
housekeeping, in fact, they don't
know anything about it. They live in
log cabins with only the ground for
the floor and they have but one room.
In that room they have their beds in
one corner, their trunks around the
sides and they often have beautiful
bead work hanging on the walls.
They have a large stove as near the
center of the room as they can. On
that stove you will always find cof-
fee pot and tea kettle, and they are
always kept full. If the women can
have co flee to drink they are happy;
they think it is a great medicine; they
call it the black medicine.
In the summer the Indian women
do most of their cooking out of doors.
They put short poles on each side of
their fire and third stick across from
one to the other and on this they hang
their kettle. The women when at
home are almost always sitting in
the tipi doing some kind of bead work.
The women are always getting up
some kind of a feast; that is, they
have them very often, and especially
if one of their sons or daughters gets
married, they will spend their last
cent to make a great feast. They
have certain man go around and tell
everyone to come to that feast, when
ever it may be, then when he has
come back and told them that he has
told everyone, the women give him
horse. When they have the feast the
women all dress up in their brightest
colors, paint their faces and put all
the bead work they can on their little
children. They have a great time
talking, especially the old women and
men.
The women's dresses are made with
only two seams, one on each side, so
it makes very loose dress. 1t is
short in the back and front and long
on the sides, and they almost always
wear long beaded belt and a shawl;
in fact they wear a shawl all the time;
when it is not around the head and
shoulders it is tied around the waist.
They never wear hat of any kind
even on the hottest days they are
bareheaded.

All on Account of the Baby.
An ache in the back and an ache in the arms
All on account of the baby;
A fear and fright and thousand alarms,
All on account of the baby;
And bottles and rattles and whistles and rings,
From cellar to attic clutter of things,
From morning to night and to morning again
More fuss and more fume than an army of men,
And head that is stupid for lack of it's sleep,
And heart where flood of anxieties leap
All on account of the baby.
A JOY in the heart and light in the eyes,
All on account of the baby;
A growing content and growing surp rise,
All on account of the baby;
And patience that conqners myriad frets =,
And sunshiny song that another begets,
And pureness of soul baby is pure,
And sureness of faith as the children are sure,
And glory of love between hus band and wife,
And saner and happier outlook on life,-
All on account of the baby.

OUR FARMERS.
TREATMENT OF A HIRED MAN.

Because man is working for wages
on a farm or anywhere else it is not
necessary to make him feel that he is
mental or a mere machine to be
wound up every day to run for SO
many hours.
never worked as farm hand. but
during some ten years or more in
business houses in the city I only had
one employer who gave me to under
stand that I was nothing but a
machine to run ten hours a day. [
only stayed with him year; another
year would have killed me. Every
man in whose employ I was, this one
excepted, made me feel that I had
some responsibility outside of the
general routine of my work. These
men would discuss methods and ask
advice, and it was no unusual thing
for me to be left in full charge for
several months. In every way I was
made to feel that the success of the
business somewhat depended upon
me. [ was not only to do certain
have eyes and ears open and be ever
on the alert to further the interests of
the firm, and that I succeeded in so
doing is one of the happy memories of
ife.
If our farmer community would ele
vate the position of the farm hand by
the same kind of treatment that the
successful business man of to- day en-
ploys toward those in his service there
would soon be better class of help in
the field, brainy, thinking, seeing
man about the farm in place of the
careless, shiftless, meier do we'll farm
hand of bygone days. When the
farmer, as a rule, cares for his tools
and machinery instead Of letting them
lie where last used Or out in the fence
corner until the next season, then the
hired man will learn to care for things
when the farmers back is turned

STRAWBERRY BEDS.

Where cultivating has been neg
lected, GO to work at once. If only a
small bed, take sharp shovel and
skive off the ground between the rows.
IF weedy, NOW the patch close to the
ground. Then take an iron rake and
rake the rows, tearing out all the
weeds and grass with the surplus
plants that the rake will catch. Loos
en- the ground between the plants,
thinning them to four and six inches.
Burn the rakings, as in this way many
insects will be destroyed. In larger
lots use horse and pillow between the
rows, giving the above treatment in
the rows, and cultivate thoroughly,
but not deeply, until the middle of
September. Clover or cowpea ground
is better for a new bed than too much
stable manure. Following corn, pota-
toes or some cultivated crop is the
best preparation for strawberries. If
good plants are obtainable, planting
can be done in damp, cloudy time in
August or the first of September.
With a narrow spade dig holes in the
rows; then cut around the plant,
lifting it out on the spade, and set in
the hole. Pot plants are set in same
way.
In the central and northern states
the strawberry bed must De covered
to give winter protection. Straw,
cornstalks Or swamp grass can be
used, putting on thickly enough to
protect from sudden changes. want
to emphasize the Importance of select
ing plants of strong vigor and fruiting
vitality. Such plants can't be found
in an old fruiting bed, bat must be
taken from a bed grown for the pur-
pose, advises an american AgricuIturist
writer in conclusion to these instruc
tons.

An excellent gargle for sore throat
or hoarseness is made by boiling a
teaspoonful of pure honey in cup of
water.
Cinders or any of the particles that

removed by fret closing the eye until
it is filled with tears. Next turn the

Black Minorcas for Utility.


I breed Black Minorcas for a num-
Der of reasons, among which are utili-
ty, beauty and commercial value. [
place utility first because my expert
ence has demonstrated that there are
few better utility fowls than the Black
Minorca, especially as now bred.
First, they certainly excel in egg pro-
duction any other fowl, as they lay as
many eggs, and a much larger egg
than the Leghorn. The size and
beauty of the Minorca egg are certain
ly very attractive to the eye, and
their large size makes them in demand
for market. Then, too, the Minorcas
have been advanced in size very much
in the past few years and for table
fowl are growing in favor right along.
Fanciers are no longer satisfied to
breed Leghorn Minorcas, but want
them up to standard weight and above
to be at all satisfied, until now we see
on exhibition Minorcas much above
the requirements of the standard
as to weight. Neither the fancier
nor his customer wiz be satisfied with
fowlsl which fall below standard re-
quirements as to ght.-PouJtg9
