AS to the value OF the mines make no
prediction. l know that the silver is hero
and that there seems to be vast quantities
OF 1t. l have seen thousands of sacks, each
holding about half-bushel OF ore which is
exceedingly rich and some Of 1t almost pure
silver. 1 have examined the veins and have
found some that are almost foot wide and
so rich In silver that could see It shining
out of the rocks But how much there isof
it or how long it will last 1 do not pretend
to say. The biologists may be right in
that it will peter out after 100 feet or so.
and the miners may be right in that there
are great wide veins in solid masses of tho
precious metal far down. From what can
be seen on the surface there are undoubt-
eddy millions of dollars worth Of silver

land, most of which lies below an irrigation
ditch, so that water may be supplied II
needed.
This Part OF the farm consists of rich
land upon which alfalfa and most farm
crops may be grown to perfection. The al
falfa is especially fine. and of this crop
there are many plots of different varieties.
Among other forage crops 1 noticed prose
millet," milo maize bronze grass and COM
mon millet. The bronze grass appears to
be very promising In going over this part
of the farm l saw a lot OF fat hogs in
alfalfa plots, where they feed upon the
nutritious growth as though they were
regular "herbivora." And they get fat on
1t, too. / saw some sleek-looking cattle. and
a number of horses. They all looked we'll
fed and contented.
At. present the buildings are practically
those which were on the land when it came
into the possession Of the experiment sta
ton. There are two dwelling houses, one
occupied by the superintendent and the
other by the foreman; several stables and
sheds and a granary, the latter built last
year. The regents are planning to erect
larger and more commOdious buildings
soon, including a superintendent's house
and a barn OF modern construction. The
new buildings are to be grouped about the
boulevard which leads from the city, and
when completed and surrounded with trees
and shrubbery will present very attrac-
tive appearance.

the o'Brien mine, tells me he believes the
ore to be a primary rather than a second
airy formation, and that 1t will grow richer
as the excavation goes down. Major Nor
rison of the ottawa Citizen, who has min
ing properties here, has the same belief as
to richness in regard to depth He con-
siders the camp one of the richest mineral
fields in the world. When he came here
last spring he published a statement that
there was from S25,OOO,0OO to s5O.OOO,0OO worth
of silver practically in sight. He now
thinks that his estimate might have been
trebled and still been under the truth.

getting ont this ore is about the lowest
known. It can be taken from the mines for
per cent of the value OF the product an
outlay of 5000 bringing forth $4,000 or
$4,000 worth of ore. So far It does not pay
to ship anything that will yield less than
500 per ton, and the most OF the shipments
are much richer.
Speaking OF ore values, one OF the pro-
prletors of the Glendenning mine said to me
today: II came here three or four months
ago with a gang OF men and discovered q
property. We have been working the mine
from then until now and have just shipped
our first car OF ore, which will bring us at
least $4,000 Our total expenses all told
have been $500. so that we are more than
$4,000 to the good. and have just begun to

and shrubs, but a Closer examination
shows this to be a mistake. At the
present time there are only two kinds
of tres growing wild on this tract. namely,
cottonwoods and western red cedars. Both
are found scattered here and there on the
steep sides of the canyons. There is little
doubt that formerly there were more trees
on these canyons. for the great overland
trail passes westward over the "bench"
land, just below the mouths OF these can
yons, and 1t is we'll known that the emil
grants and freighters cut and used all the
trees which they could obtain. From the
known distribution of the native trees in
Nebraska 1 regard It as probable that be-
fore they were disturbed there were in
these canyons pine trees, red cedar. willow,
cottonwood, elm, blackberry. ash and box
elder. Among the shrubs are wild roses.
dwarf black cherry. golden .currant, poison
Ivy. shoestring, green greasewood, and a
few others which lie on the border between
shrubs and herbs.
Some of the Towering plants are remark
able as the prickly poppy, with it's large
white flowers on prickly plants two to
three feet high, and the bush morning
glory, with mass of bushy stems bearing
narrow leaves and large pink flowers look
ing exactly like cultivated morning glories
The root of this species is perennial. and

sand grass and rank growing weeds. The
hillsides bear blue grama and needle grass,
with a smaller amount of buffalo grass,
mingled with the pretty pea-green punches
OF green greasewood, and the sllvery gray
OF the white tumble weeds. Here and
there the eye is arrested by a golden mass
of cone flowers, among which one may
now and then find those whose petals are
marked with rich, dark maroon of such
beauty that European florists have grown
them for many years in their flower gar
dens. Yet here they grow wild on the
hillsides in the cattle pastures.
On the hilltops we find bunch grass
poverty grass and grama with the wand
like delea, and the pea-green foliage OF

lands the vegetation includes drop-seed
grass wild crab grass, slender fescue and
one or both blue and black gTama. On

buffalo grass is seeding abundantly, and
immediately arrange to have a quart or two
gathered for my correspondents In Europe
and Australia, who are anxious TO secure
some for trial. Without question this
American grass is capable of growing in
many places where it is not known, and
this abundance of seeds will enable the
experiment TO be made in many different
places. There is opportunity also for col
lecting seeds of western wheat grass, for
which there has been considerable demand,
especially among western experimenters.

APPREHENSION in Cuba.

Rumors of Conspiracies against the
Cuban government and of arrests In con-
nection Herewith continue. Thirteen
nersons have been arrested in Pinar del
Rio and 80 rifles have been seized there.
Col. Julian Cruz, prominent citizen OF
Pinar del Rio, and at presentin Havana,
has been arrested in connection with the
an,i.government movement and will be
taken to Pinar del Rio for trial.
As Conductor Escarra was taking
handbag from train at Sancii Spiritus
the bag was seized and was found to con-
tain two bombs. Escarra says he did
not know what the bag contained. 1t Is
reported that the bombs are the property
of the railroad company and they we're
intended to be used for blasting purposes.
Several Of the liOeral leaders continue
to be watched. The officials say, how
ever. that there is nothing serious the
matter, aud that calm prevails through
ont the island. There is no question,
however, that some Of the liberals would
like to prevent the presidential election
from taking place.
The discussion, analyzing the possible
motives Tor an uprising, admits that
1872. 900 voters have been registered,
whereas there are only $4,000 adult
male Cubans in the republic. 1t declares
that the electoral lists are tissue OF
fraud. The law offers no remtdy. The
government, the papers further say, has
ousted a number of Ayuntamientos Tor
pnrely electoral purposes. The Discus
sion declares, however, that rising
would not be iustifable, because such a
course would end the republic. The
liberals were Joint makers OF the law
with the moderates, aud were the initia-
TORS of the present frauds, which they
previously practiced against their Poil'l-
csl enemies.

THE PORTE DEFIANT.

The Porte has refused TO comply with
the demands of the powers regarding
Macedonia. This decision was taken at
q council of the ministers held in Con-
stantinople Yesterday, the Sultan ap-
proving, and reply to this effect was
sent to the Baron de Calice, the Austrian
Ambassador, who, as deyen of the dip
lomatic corps, had presented the JOINT
proposals OF the powers.
1t is understood that the Porie's note
demurs to the scheme as an interference
with the Sultan's prerogaiyes and as
calculated to offend public opinion, which
would certainly oppose it.
1t is further stated that the Porte
will not sanction an extension OF the
mandates of the foreign agents, who
are experimenting the reforms in Mace
donia, beyond two years.
By this action the Sultan has finally
rejected the demands Of the powers, and
the combined fleets now at the Praeus,
under Admiral Won Nipper, Of the Aus
trian navy, will presumably forthwith
carry out measures intended f. bring the
Turk to his knees OF the effectiveness
of their action doubt Is widely expressed
in Europe, although their course OF ac-
ton as yet can only be speculated upon.
Among the other difficulties to be
foreseen in blockadag the Dard@nelles,
assuming that such step is part of the
international scheme, is the lack of
homogeneity among the vessels OF the
combined fleet. The British cruiser
Lancaster is the fastest among them,
she having speed OF twenly-iour
knots. The speed Of most Of the others
ranges from twenty to twenty-one Knots,
but the Russian vessels are obsolete, and
are only capable of making twelve
knots. 1t is claimed that the inter
national squadron is able to land 5000
men and twenty guns if desirable, but 1t
is not suggested what such force would
be able to achieve.
Judging from recent di-patches, the
Sultan is justified in appealing TO public
opinion, as lar as IL exists III iui MY
The correspondents have made it clear
that the educated Turks greatly resent
the attitude of the European cabinets.
Even sincere relormers are hoping that
tue Sultan will resist to the utmost
The Turks are especially bitter at see
ing Russia, while in the throes OF a rev.
olution produced by centuries OF oP-
preston, taking leadin! part in fore
ing reforms on Turkey. 1t is sarcasti-
cally suggested that the powers would
have been better employed in sending
their fleets to Odessa to stop the massa-
ere of the Jews, and ii is asked Why
Europe is so excited over Macedonia
end so Indifferent t. events in the
Caucasus and Poland. The whole thing
to the Turks seems to be an instance Of
! Christian fansticism.

cause Of freight wreck. When the Empire
State express came along small boy caught
hold of the side bars Of one OF the vestibuled
cars, expecting to ride to the station, where
the train would stop. The first stop Of the
train, however, is Utica, and when the train
whizzed past the Amsterdam station the boy
was holding on to the side bars with one oi
his feet skimming over the ground. The
train dispatcher at Albany was notified o
the lad's predcament and he gave orders to
have the train slowed down at Akin, three
miles west Of Amsterdam, which was done
and the boy was rescued in an almost exhaust
ed condition. That the lad managed to hold
on 10 the side bars and the train running
about mile minute is marvellous.
