Mining Property Sold.

The Dandy group of claims in the
mining district situated
between the Emma L property on the
north and the ingalls, property on the
south, was yesterday sold to Denver
parties for $4,000 The property was
bonded by Matt Baroch from D. Coz
zens and E. Fish and by Baroch sold
to his Denver friends. The deal is
said to have been a cash transaction
and the money actually paid for the
property.
A new strike has been made in the
Whitehorse district by a prospector
named Smith on the west side of the
mineralized zone. The new strike is
a most important one, as it establishes
the fact that the zone is at least three
miles wide The Smith discovery is

such a demand. They only ask pay

Citizens are Wide Awake and are
Building Model City.
Las Vegas is to. have one of the
finest passenger depost on the Salt
Lake route, and work on the same
is to start shortly.
Carpenters are now busy on the
freight depot. The passenger depot is
to be on the old Spanish Mission
style, something after the pattern of
the famous depot at Riverside, CAL,
and will be covered with a red tile
roof and have ample shade. 1t is also
the intention to park the company'-
land around the depot and plant
palms.
Bids for laying water mains and
curbing the streets were opened last
week and will be awarded soon. The
bids call for the grading of several
miles of streets in the business section
to be curbed with cement and in the
residence portion with redwood. In
addition there is to be laid at once
a water system with an eight-inch
and six-inch main. The contracts will
call for about $4,000 worth of work
| to be done at the expense of the
company, and no tax will be levied
upon the property holders for this
Just whether the streets will be oilet
or ballasted with gravel will be de
cided as soon as the grading and gut
tering is done.

The New tnspsdtor Makes an Excel
lent Showing.
Yesterday the State Revenue Board
met to receive the first report OF
James Nevin. the inspector created
under the new law. Fl
He submitted report of the service
already done in som eof the counties
OF the State where he had been ut
work. He first made very thorough
round up in Washoe annd the adli-
tional revenue from that county alone
will pay the salary of the inspector
for year.
He reported that he had also visited
Lincoln county and found that mining
men were ready to grant him every
facility in examining their books and
Everywhere he went he found no one
attempting to evade the law.
Ormsby and Lincoln he reported as
standing at the head of the counties
where a thorough collection of poll
taxes was made. In other counties
the collection of poll taxes was very
lax
About one man in seven was all that
could show poll tax receipt. AS a
rule Assessors hated to collect poll
taxes for fear that they would make
opomioc and loco votes
The question of expenses coming up
it was shown that the Legislature had
fixed the sum of but $3.50 per annum
for his expenses and had in other ways
curtailed the appropriations necessary
to make the work of the board effec-
tive. The Controller stated that the e
had always been disposition on the
part of the Legislature to cripple the
collection of revenue The people
wanted strict collection of taxes but
the Legislature generally failed 80
provide the tools for the Board tc
work with.
The Governor and Attorney Gener
al believed that the work being &C
complished amply justified the Board
in allowing the inspector additional
money for the expenses and he was in
structed to conduct the work as eco
nomically as possible and render bill;
which would be allowed as deficiency
bills I'll,
The Board then adjourned.

Raising the Bacon Hog.

Outside of what is known as the
corn belt farmers will make more
money in hog raising by putting ami
mails on the market of moderate weight
than by the heavy weights which have
long been so popular. The streak of
lean and streak of fat hog is the most
profitable one to-day, but to raise such
an animal requires a radical departure
from the old methods of close pens and
an almost exclusive corn diet. Oats,
barley, skim milk and plenty of good
pasture during the summer enter very
largely into the makeup Of the bacon
hog. Some corn is fed, but mainly at
the finishing off period, the main de
pendence being placed ON the other
grains with the pasture. In the case of
the latter good pasture must be sup
piled.
It will not do to turn the hogs on
any worn-out strip Of grass land. The
pasture of mixed grasses must be good
and the results will be better IL q range
Of rape is used by way of variety.
Then let the hogs follow the harvest
in the fall, particularly in the corn
field, and they will pick up nearly all
the corn they should have during the
period Of growth.

Two SPRAYING in One.

Recent tests at the Geneva IN. "
experiment station suggest that the
thorough spraying of scale-infested
trees with a sulphur wash may take
the place of the first one of the COM
bined treatment with bordeaux mixture
and paris green for scale and scab. II
is found that the sulphur washes kill
many other insects besides the scale
and result in considerable benefit to the
tree. On the other hand, it was no.
ticed that in spraying old orchards
some of the buds were killed on the
lower branches by the large quantity
Of the spray which they received. The
effect was to thin the fruit and de-
crease its number, while improving the
size and quality. The lime and sui
phur washes proved efficient scale de-
stroyers on all treated trees.-Massa-
chusetts Ploughman.

How Should a Cow Be MIXED?


Opinions differ very much as TO the
manner in which the operator should
proceed in milking a cow. Some con-
tend that the proper plan is to draw
the near fore and the off hind teats
simultaneously, and then the off fore
and the near hind teats; while others
argue that both the hind teats should
be first drawn; and still others contend
that the whole of one side of the udder
should be drawn ere the other side is
touched. We are not aware that there
is really very much in it either way,
but it Is suggestive to learn that in
an investigation conducted some time
ago by Prof. Babcock, the well-known
dairy expert, it was found that the
order in which the teats were MIXED
exercised considerable influence on the
quality of the milk obtained 1t was
found that the teats that was drawn
second in order almost invariably yield
ed the richest milk; then came the teat
that was first MIXED, and next in order
the third and fourth, the last one
drawn. Invariably giving the poorest
milk. From these results Prof. Bah
cock argues that milk is pretty largely
formed during the act of milking, and
that it does not accumulate to any eX-
tent in the ready-made condition of
the udder.-American Cultivator.

sullenly; he feared to change his tone
too suddenly. "By the bye" he added,
Il am forgetting all about the Corin-
THAN. 1 am due there at seven, and is
is now ive."
"The public will certainly be deprived
Of your brilliant talents this evening""
sneered Rodwell. 1--WE shall start about
ten. You do not suppose that l would
trust you to go alone after what has
passed? The night air might affect your
delicate conscience if you had not a
friend by your side"
But who will carry OUT the second
part of your scheme? Who will be your
messenger to your uncle?"
"Would not telegram serve the pur-
pose?'
Montgomery started. Was it a stray
shot? or was he discovered?
There was a dark, malicious smile up
on Rodwells face. Whatever clever
plots you may have been revolving in
your fertile brain to oyermatch me, will
only rebound upon yourself. But in the
meantime, dinner is waiting for us in
the next room. Let us eat, and be
thankful. Who knows whether we shall
ever eat another? Life is SO very un-
certain"
Montgomery was not coward, but
there was something in the callous-heart-
ed levity of this man, who could thus
jest upon the eve of an awful crime,
that made his blood run cold. Added to
which, he did not feel by any means GER
tain that the telegram had not fallen into
his hands. If so, what then? He shud-
dered at the thought
Before the dinner was half over, a
strange, drowsy sensation began to steal
over him. Ten minutes more, and he
had fallen senseless from his chair unto
the floor.
Cease of an overdose" said Mr.. Rod
well to the servant who was waiting.
coolly continuing his meal. "Lay him
gently upon the couch, and then tell
John to put the mare into the dog-cart.
I'll drop the gentleman into his home
as go along. shall drive myself. and
shall not require any one with me-
About o'clock Montgomery, still in
sensible, was lifted into the dog-cart.
Mr.. Rodwell took the reins, and drove
away. But not in the direction Of Cam
den Town; on the contrary, he made
towards the open country, taking the
same road that Montgomery had travers-
ed in the opposite direction few hours
before. He stopped at a wooded, soli-
tary spot about half a mile off the road
way, and, about three miles from the
Manor House, embarrassed the mare,
| took out a saddle and bride that he had
| concealed in the boot, and, by the light
of bulls eye lantern, put these upon
her. Then he dragged out his helpless
companion, threw him across the front
| of the saddle, leaped into tn sat, and
after casting look at the vehicle, which
was ensconced under a tree and quite
hidden by the darkness, he .galloped
away.

Subduins Flying Fowls.

When fowls are kept confined they
get uneasy and long for freedom; this
is particularly the case with the small
er breeds, says an exchange. The COM
mon method Of prevention is to clip
the wings of the birds, not a desira BILE
thing to do If they happen to be high
class fowls. A better plan is to attach
the little arrangement here described
Take a stout cord and tie around the
points of the feathers on the wings
mainly used in flying. Tie one wing
in this manner, then pass the cord over
the back and tie the other wing. Be
careful not to draw the cord too tight,
but leave it so that the fowl can carry
