TOMBSTONE MINES PROGRESS
Some of the Work Under Way on the
 HiII-Pumps Being Lowered

Some of the Work Under Way on the
 HiII-Pumps Being Lowered
 Work on the hill at the Consohdat- cd Mines company is progressing rap idly and visit to the works shows considerable advance during the pas. few days The small engine and wooden gallows frame have been done away with and the new steel frame is being used and three of the cables have been stretched. One of big 500-horse power boilers have been fired up and is now furnishing steam to the big hoisting engine that has been working for several days lower ing the parts of the big pump to the 600 foot level. A large part of the big pump has already been lowered and a force of machinists are at work setting it in place on the foundation cut out on that station. A part of the pump cannot be lowered until those parts that are already down the mine have been set in place as the station does not provide sufficient room.
 A few days since a new engineer let two of the cages go down into the sump and they were quite badly dam aged After about two days work they were pulled up to the surface and are now being repaired. The work on the new hoisting engine is progressing rapidly and it is expected that it will be in running order ere long, A concrete foundation is being laid around the engine and the inside of the hoist is being painted white. The pipe to be used in carrying on the water, is arriving daily and is be- ing distributed from the mine to a point near the old Sterling Silver mill. Most of the miners have been taken out Of the mine and put to work on the surface on the improvements there as at present it is impossible to do any work below on account of the lowering of the pumps.-Prespector.
 A miners union was instituted at Mint valley Thursday night with 58 members It will be named Val Minta union.

Practical Seed Testing.

The method Of testing seeds between
plates and layers Of mOistened flannel,
the whole being kept ina warm place,
is familiar to nearly every one A. S.
Hitchcock says in Gardening as TO the
time required for seeds 70 gernlinate:
Some seeds will commence to eermi-
nate by the third day. Each day an ex-
animation should be made. and those
seeds which have germinated should
be recorded and removed
Grass seeds require as much as three
weeks, and seeds Of some trees d still
longer time. Beet balls contain from
three to seven seeds. With very small
seed it may be necessary to provide for
the circulation of air by placing small
pieces of wood between the layers of
cloth among the seeds With most va
rieties of garden plants the aiority
Of seeds should terminate within Il
few days after the first sprout appears.
If the period Of termination extends
over 4 longer time. it shows that the
vitality of the seed is low. Seeds of the
carrot family and some melon seeds
may not show as high results in the
terminating dishes as they do in the
ground.

SILK Cotton Tree.


Although the silk cotton tree is ma
tive Of South America, there is one
specimen Of it in Nassau, Bahama is
lands, that has hourished wonderfully
and is one Of the greatest curiosities
on the island. 1t was planted more
than 200 years ago by John Miller.
The roots seem to be unable to find
their way down after the manner of
ordinary roots and so swell up like
great buttresses radiating round the
trunk Of the tree, rising from the
ground to a height of from six to
twelve feet. They reach out to irregu.
lar distances, gnarled and twisted in
the most curious fashion. They turn
and bend and double a point in all
sorts of unexpected ways and make
dark hollows and ravines, where th,
darkies believe the elves and gnOmes
make their home.
The great seed pods are filled with 2
fine, soft fleece of silk, which the ma
tives use for filling their pillows anc
mattresses. There are several speci
mems Of the tree onfhe island of New
Providence, but this one Isl monarch Of
them all.

A Fly That Kills Horses.

All white men who visit regions in
Africa infested by the tsetse fly have
much to say about it. There is now
evidence that the tsetse is moving
gradually to more northern regions
and the cause is supposed to be that
South Africa is depleted Of its large
game, much Of which is moving north
ward to get away from hunters, and
the tsetse fly is going with it.
The insect is only a little larger than
the ordinary house fly, and it resem

as annoying as that of the mosquito
but near the base of the proboscis is q
little bag which contains it's poison. Il

ever, cannot live when bitten by the

which They Are Adapted.
Al: macaroIi wheats are extremely
sensitive to changes cf soil and CHI

peculiarities in the quality of the grain
that have already been noticed by
growers occasionally in this country.
Grains partially soft and white are
from crops grown either under damp.
er, cooler conditions or ii places where
there is comparatively little nitrogen
in the soil. The requisite conditions for
a perfect grain are black prairie soil
and short, hot, dry summers. On the
whole changes of climate appear tc
have a greater effect than changes OF
soil, but if the soil becomes almost be-
reft of humus the grain shows the ef..
feet plainly by becoming more opaque
and white because of the preponder.
ance of starch If in this case the eli.
mate is at the same time arid, the
grain remains rather hard, but simply
because of its dryness. II the soil is
black and rich and the climate toe
moist, there is considerable discolora-
ton, and black eeds may show them.
selves. Two or three good rains are
sufficient to mature a crop. Otherwise
the drier and hotter the better, while
humid atmosphere can not be tolerated
From fifty to seventy-fye so called
varieties of durum or lnacaroni Wheats
have been described by different writ
ers. There are probably hundred or
more varieties already known to befin
use under distinct names. Though the
larger number Of varieties are in prac-
tical use of minor importance, there
are few having well marked charac-
teristics and which have attained a
high reputation.

lowing With Grain In the North-
west-value of narrowing.
s One of the principal causes Of failure
in securing a good catch of clover is
the lack Of moisture Immediately after
seeding, says Minnesota correspond
ent in American Agriculturist. Any
method that will aid in conserving
moisture is Of great benefit. The trou-
BILE can be remedied to considerable
extent by narrowing the ground imme-
diately after seeding so that the seed
will be covered with from one-half to
one inch Of soil. In light sandy soils
the seed can be covered much deeper,
particularly in dry seasons. Where the
soil is heavy and the season wet half
an inch is sufficient. am convinced
that clover seed will stand a great deal
Of moisture provided it is not covered
too deep In addition to improper COW
ering [ think failure often results from
sowing a small amount of seed. l do
not consider fifteen pounds per acre
any too much. Where one good stand
is obtained by using a smaller amount
several failures result.
If clover seed is sown with spring
grain, it may be mixed with the grain
seed if both are sown broadcast. but if
drill is used for the grain SOW the
clover seed by hand or with a grass
seeder after the grain has been put in.
Then go over the field with light har,

VANCE SETS THE EXAMPLE FOR
ALL TO FOLLOW.

Once again the people of Vance coun-
ty, under the greatest provocation, have
demonstrated their devotion to law and
order.
few years ago, when pure young
woman was outraged in that county, the
brute was promptly placed in Jail, ap-
plication was made for special term
Of court the negro was given a fair and
speedy trial, was convicted and legally
executed. That spectacle ought to have
been an example for the emulation Of
the people of every county in North Car
DINA.
Once again Vance county has given an
exhibition of devotion to law that is in
spring to all lovers of law and order.
There have been few more horrible
crimes in the State than the unprovoked
murder of the railroad man by vicious
negroes on the Seaboard train near Hen
derson on Tuesday If lynching is ever
excusable for the crime of murder, this
was the occasion. But the people of
Vance truly believe there is never a
time when the people should violate the
law in order to punish criminals. These
Inurderers have been placed in Jail and
they will be tried at the next term of
Vance court. The evidence against them
is conclusive, the officers of the law able
and Just, and swift punishment will fol-
low.
Men and brethren everywhere: Emu
late the example set by the law abiding
and high spirited citizens of Vance county.

A GREAT OCCASION.

The annual meeting of the Confederate
Veterans in session this week at
Greensboro has called to that city the
flower of the manhood of North Caro-
lina-the representatives of the 10000
North Carolinians who were FIRST at
Bethel, furthest at Gettysburg, and last
at Appomattox."
The unanimous and hearty reelection
OF General Julian S. Carr as the COM
mander will be approved by the veterans
throughout the State. His love for his
comrades, his devotion to everything
that made the Cause glorious, and his
genuine public spirit and patriotism give
him a warm place in the hearts of all
North Carolinians as well as of all the
brave men who followed Lee.
