Last Sunday we took stroll into the
country as far as the ranch Of Mr.. Sam
Scott where we weresuperbly entertain
ed. After dinner we walked over the
little farm, and saw so much that was
new and pleasing, that we felt well re-
paid for the walk. In addition to the
usual fields of oats, wheat, barley, alfalfa
and other grasses, and in addition to the
usual vegetables grown in this vicinity,
we saw beans, beets, cucumbers and
squashes of good size and luxuriantly.
This was something new to us as we did
not believe they could be raised at this
altitude.

Mining Items.


We learn from competent authority
that the Sunbeam mine will start up
about the 1st of September.
The Custer Mountain mining COM
pany, whose group of mines are
about two miles east Of town, upon
which work has been suspended for
sometime, is about to receive the atten-
ton it deserves and work will be resum-
ed. The working shaft is down some
thing over 20 feet on three foot vein.
which decends into the earth directly
vertical, and carries excellent values In
gold and other minerals. The reason
assigned for the delay heretofore, is the
large flow Of water in the shaft. We
are glad to hear that the necessary mach
inery will soon be installed and the dev.
elopment proceed with vigor.
The Addie Mining company, whose
property is situated on tributary of
Crow creek. about miles west from
Custer, is driving ahead with full force.
They haye finished the construction of
the necessary buildings, such as boarding
house, bunk house. shaft house and are
now engaged in sinking working shaft.
1t is the purpose of the company to sink
100 feet on the vein and drift north and
south until they have ore enough in
sight to justify putting up a mill, with a
process adequate to save the gold in the
ore which is high grade. We are in.
formed that the lowest assay received is
$63 per ton and from that up into the
hundreds. The vein is vertical about
eighteen inches in width. Mr.. j. r
Fordice is president Cf the company anc
Mr.. f. B. Chapman superintendent ir

VOLUMES OF JoHNNYcAKE5 Rhode Island Housewife of the Early Time Made Ready for Ex-
 pected Company. SaM

Asan illustration of the thrift and fore sight of some of the housekeepers of the early period, Halsey F. Clarke. the vet eran town clerk of Richmond, tells this story, says the Providence (R. I.) Jour nal. His father, David Clarke. was in Providence at one time, and, being obliged to stay over night, for in those days the means of travel was by horse and wagon, or horseflesh, which was necessarily very slow, he put up at a tavern, and in the room he occupied were four beds, for there was not much space wasted in the bedrooms of the old-ime taverns. Before retiring for the night, MT. Clarke and a friend who was with him struck up an acquaintance with another occupant of the same room. The friend of MT. Clarke whispered to him not to tell the stranger where they came from, and to try to find out whence he had come; so they inquired of him where he had come from, and
 he told them that he had just been down in South county, in the town of Rich mond. He said that when he arrived in the town 1t was nearly dusk, so he drew up at a tavern and inquired of the landlord for lodging for the night. The landlord replied In the affirmative, and sent boy to take his horse, as he was on horseback. The gentleman went with the boy and removed the saddle bags and brought them into the house. and, throwing them down in the kitch- en, stepped mp to the fireplace to warm

By this table 1t is seen that the amount of outstanding securities on which interest has ceased stands at $1, 196 S6O.26. Tn the last fiscal year the only securities listed above which were presented for redemption were bonds of the funded loan of 1891, one and two year notes of 1863 and com pound interest notes. Some others may be presented in the future to be re- deemed by the government, but it is safe to say that in all probability the larger portion win never turn up.
 One of the great sources of unearned income to the government is the de- struction of thousands of notes issued from the treasury which pass from hand to hand and reach all classes and after floating around for years are lost, worn out or destroyed. The amount of these unredeemed notes would be difficult to estimate. From the first issue, in 1861, to the present day the amount would reach millions of dol lars In the single item of what was known as fractional currency and more vulgarly as ''shinplasters," which was issued during the civil war, there was outstanding on June 30 $15,245, ,188.21, :, of which the actuary of the treasury department estimates that $S,O00,000 will never be presented, having been destroyed.
 The gold coin which is presented for change at subtreasury and which is good on it's face for $2O is returned to the owner in money of a different de nomination, but perhaps minus dollar or more, due to it's reduction in weight since it was minted. This difference, while never computed, is clear source of income
 The carelessness which prevailed dur ing the war period was responsible, so amount of missing money.

JAPAN's STABILITY.
Count OIkuma Says Russia Can Never
 Wear Out Afikado,s Resources.

Count Olkum@ Says Russia Can Never
 Wear Out Afflxado's Resources.
 Count Okuma, formerly prime minis ter of Japan, one of the ablest finance ministers the country has ever had and now prominent leader of the opposi- ton, speaking to the Chicago Daily News correspondent the other day, said that he saw no reason to alter his opin- ions expressed in previous interviews. Russia 7 he said, twill not be able to wear out Japan. Japan is less man ufacturing than an agricultural coun- try, and defeat would do little more than check its few industries. Even then there are many new fields of ac- tivity. especially abroad.
 Exports have not diminished, and on account of the, unusually abundant crops the import of food has decreased. Hence the balance of trade is favora- ble. The annual saving capacity of the Japanese is about $150, ,OO0, 900. This is almost equal to the extraordi- nary war expenses. It will not be diff f1cult to raise domestic loans. as the people are deeply patriotic.
 Japan is determined to win at what ever cost. It would undoubtedly be a good thing if the war could be stopped as soon as possible, but Japan will nev- CT discontinue it until 1t has realized it's ideals of permanent peace and the open door in the far east. The Japanese are desirous of treading in the path of An glo-Saxon civilization"
