be done by an Oklahoma negro ::
He startes a wild steer on a run,
and, pursuing on horseback,
rides alongside, and when at full
speed leaps from the horse to the
back of the steer Then, taking
hold of it's horns, he slides under
the neck an head of the then
infuriated animal, and Selling
it by the nose with his teeth, lets
go the horns, and, leaping to the
ground throws the steer by
means of his mouth hold alone

legged and decidedly muscular

imperfection of any kind involv-
ed the relegation of the piece to
the scrap pile. The patterns are
now cut into two or more parts,
SO that each is simple piece to
mold, and the several parts are
brazed together, so that in effect
when the brazing operation is
complete the several pieces that
make up the whole casting are
as one entire casting, and the
cost of production has been ma
,terially reduced In that the
cost of brazing is very much less
than the cost of molding one
large casting, as against two or
more smaller pieces. Flaws in
castings are eliminated by drill
ing them out if they are small
and brazing in a pug to fit the
hole. If they are large and in
the nature of crack, if the
crack is wide, a piece of any
kind of iron is fitted into the
space and brazed into place, II

and thoroughly brazed up. II

More About Nevada's Big Canal.

c. A. Warren & Co. have been
awarded the contract by the
government for the construc-
ton of sections one and two of
the Truckee, Carson Irrigation
Canal. The amount that they
will receive for the work will be
100000. E. B. and A. l.
Stone, of Oakland, have been
given the contract for digging
the third section of the canal
for $200,000. The canal will
take water from the Truckee
River and carry it to the Carson
River, where large dam will be
built and the water stored in an
immense reservoir above a vast
tract OF fine farming land, which
by irrigation will be brought un-
der cultivation The canal will
be fifty feet wide at the top and
thirty feet wide at the bottom,
and have a depth of fifteen feet
The work is to be proceeded
with at once, and inside of a
month it is expected that large
camps will be established along
the line of the canal for the la
borers and teams which will be
employed Modern appliances
for canal building will be en-
ploved, but even with these it
will probably be necessary to
employ several hundred men and
horses for many months.

Accident plays quite a con-
siderable part in the discovery of
mineral deposits. Many exam
pies are on record. The Freiburg
mines, in SaXony, were discover
ed bv soldier whose horse
picked up a stone in its shoe;
this stone was heavy lead ore.
Copper was found in South
Australia from examination of
green mineral in borrowings of
the wombat. Diamonds in South
Africa, and gold in California
were found by chance A geolo-
gist discovered phosphate of
lime in France by analyzing sand
that was used to give a violet
color to brick. Any mineral of
a peculiar appearance IN a dis
trict should be carefully examin-
ed. For years the great Com
stock lode in Nevada was work
ed for gold, and the rich yellow
sand, which eventually turned
out to be silver chloride, was
being thrown away. The Broken
Hill silver mine, it is believed,
was first pegged out for tin, The
porous pumice ore of Mount
Morgon was sold for clearing
hearths before it's value became
known.
