llmbeu to the top Of White rocks,
overlooking the town of Dcadwood
from the south side and which have
an elevation just one mile above the
sea level, the apex being $50 feet above
the street level.
Returning from the climb, Secretary
Shaw was taken to Franklin hotel,
Wherc he shook hands with a number
or prominent DcadWood men and 9th
erS who are here Tor the American min
ing congress-.
Mr.. Shaw said he wanted TO see all
lie could in his limited time and eSpe-
1clally desired to so TO Lead and sec
something OF the vast mining industry
there. Accompanied by Congressman
Martin and Others he started At 1 p. m.
by way OF the trolley railroad which
with the win cities. AT Lead
the party, conducted by mine superin-
tendents, Went through u great many
upper workings and the plants of one
or the great mining companies, exam
lining carefully the workings of every
section of the property.
The secretary evinced intense inter-
est ut every step and at one shaft
which penetrated to the depth of ], 800
feet Secretary Shaw. looking down and
noting the rapidity with which the
cages were raised and lowered, turned
and said he was sorry his time was
SO limited that he could not so down in
the mine.
At the testing room a test of ore was
made solely for h secretary's ediica-
ZION, n sample being crushed in min
nature IN Il stamp propelled by COM
pressed air. the dust being ''panned" in
an old fashioned gold pan which the
'4sers used In California. Secretary

the motion of the tester gradually
washed out the worthless matter,
watching for color: but the test hap
pened TO be lead horse" and the test
er explained he had drawn q blank.
~ Few minutes We're also spent in the
Hearst library, where the secretary WAS
greatly interested in the fine exhibit o
ores from II of the large mines so ar
ranged as to show different stages at
the different levels OF the mine.
Returning to Deadwood via the mar
row steam railroad. the secretary
rode in the cab Of the locomotive in
order to get the best view Of the
scenery. Besides, he said. he would
rather ride on II engine than any
other way-the greater the speed the
greater his pleasure. The secretary in
response to a question said ever his
knowledge or the sum of the output OF
sold at this place had not given him

immense umhe OF people coming into

tigate the results OF the crops in this

Iowa farmers who have been looking
over the country in his vicinity ex-
pressed their surprise at the immense
wheat, oat and barley crop that had
been harvested. They were surprised
at the promising Yield of corn. They
admitted that if the frost held off long
enough the state would produce the
largest corn crop III Il good many years.
There are hundreds OF acres in this
county that are now beyond the frost
line. but there IS also q large quantity
that can SILL be damaged and thus re-

spected until it has arranged with Co

In order to Judge of the inside of others, study
your own Men in general are very much alike;
and though one man has one prevailing passion,
and another has another yet their operations are
much the same; and whatever engages or dlsgusts,
pleases or offends you in Others will, the neces-
sary changes being made, engage, disgust, please,
or offend others in you Observe, with the ut
most attention all the operations of your own

hopes to publish this fall In the forty years
from 1870 to 1880 Macon played Il notable part in
the political history of North Carolina and of the

excellence and we hope that he will receive a suf
