MINING NOTES.

What Is claimed by old mining men
of the Occur dAlene section to be
the richest strike of gold ever made
has just been reported from the
ters around one James Fairchild-the
Pilot group of claims almost adiOin-
ing Murray. The strike consists Of
IS inches of phenomenally rich gold
quartz. However narrow or wide the
vein may prove to be, the samples of
the ore exhibited bear out even the
most sanguine reports from the mine.
No genuine assays OF it have been
made. The vein was encountered at
a depth of 175 feet, 420 feet in the
tunnel being driven on the property.
The Pilot group is owned by John
Docktor. Frank Frohling and Louis
Prayer. 1t mas been discovered and
worked for IA years, but this is the
first strike of any moment ever made
on the ground.
Heretofore all surface labor in the
mines of the Boundary, b. c., has been
at the rate of SO for day of 10 hours.
Hereafter, in the mines of Phoenix,
at least, the pay will be the same
but the day will consist of nine hours.
This went into effect last week at
the CRANKY mines, and Manager
Drummond of the Dominion Copper
company states that the same rule
will obtain in his company's mines
after the celebration holiday, or on
July 4.
Only three weeks more and the
once famous Frisco mine at the camp
at Gem. Idaho, will be working full
blast, announces one of the head en-
ployes of the company. At that time
the company will commence work
sinking a 200 foot shaft from its 1000
foot level and before long the Frisco,
long dormant will be once more on a
dividend paying basis.
The Boun.ary. b. c.. mines output
for this week will exceed last week
by just 1000 tons. Total treatment
for week 23,10l tons. Total treatment
for year to date G35,5l0 tons.
Corroborative reports have been
received regarding the phenomenal
strike on the west fork Of the Kettle
river which exposed big bodies OF sill
yer ore few days ago on Wallace
mountain in which cobalt has been
found. 1t was first thought that the
Duncan mine. where the first samples
were found, was the only property
having these values. but recent care
full prospecting has disclosed the fact
that considerable virgin ground on
Wallace mountain possesses cobalt.
The average assays Of the silver ore
taken from these recent rich strikes
was $125 a ton.
According to Manager Groesbeck,
Beartop mill, Murray, has been entire
ly remodeled and n new concentrating
table was put into operation. The
Beartop mill has been running only
half the time. but beginning today
1t will be run full time.
Herbert Aurbach, manager OF the
Golden Chest mine at Murray has
completed thorough examination
and announces that within short
time operations will be resumed.

cago owners. has Just put force Of

PUT UP JOKE ON NATURALIST
Scotch Professor Has Much Fun With
Learned Brother.

One Of the professors at a great
university in Scotland recently wrote
to an eastern university to the follow
ing effect.
Walking in the dusk through the
grounds of the university the other
evening, my attention was arrested
by a low murmuring sound near me,
which was neither a hiss o a wills.

lying on the ground, larger than a
cricket. Two a~ntenna-like protuber'

had no wings; and the covering OF
its body was v~ariegated, though GER

The naturalist connected with the
eastern university fell into the trap
baited, probably, especially for MIN.
He wrote ~learnedly about various in

The tutor wrote again to thank the
naturalist for his information, and TO
say he need not trouble him further.
as he had fortunately observed the
creature again more closely under ex-
actly similar circumstances, and was
able now to identify it himself as the
Vacca ~vulgaris, or common COW.

Cattle in Cuba,

The number Of cattle in Cuba Is
not great ut this time, but Is is Ger.
tain to become great. The problem Of
how to escape Texas fever Is being
dealt with both in the island and on
the mainland. The Cubans are becom.
ing quite large beef eaters. and it
is necessary that they import special
beef breeds If they are Lot to i'm.
port the finished product. There is
a law in The island at present pro-.
hibiting the killing of dairy cows.
This is doIe to foster the dairy inter.
est, but at the same time 1t shuts off
one cheap supply of beef. The Cubans
at the present time are eating seven
times as much beef as pork, and about
400 times as much beef as mutton.
According to a recent report the per
capita consumption Of beef in Cuba
in 1902 was 1907 pounds, OF pork $50
pounds, while the consumption OF NUT.
ton was only 8 pound per 100 inhab,
itants. This opens up a great posi-.
bilitv in the sale of beef stock by
American growers.

The Reindeer as a Farm Animal.
In all the northern part OF this con.
tinent the reindeer has become prac.
tically the only farm animal that can
be successfully bred and used. Under
the auspices of the United States De.
partment OF Agriculture, they were
years ago introduced into
Alaska, where they are now being
used both for food and for draft pur.
poses. There Is Just as great oppor-
tunity for improving the reindeer as
for improving our other farm animals,
In the regions where life Is hard these
animals thrive. and fall I thrive In
regions where the OK and the horse
are at their best. The zone OF use
fulness Of the reindeer Is north OF that
in which the luXuriant agriculture Is
possible. It's food is the lichen n
heritage native to the region where
the ground at some depth is eternally
frozen. 1t is fortunate, perhaps. that
the reindeer cannot live upon the
kind of forage we feed TO cattle and
horses. In the far north where the
moss grows rapidly in the summer
and where 1t covers tie lodges even
to n great depth. these animals find
their natural pastures. 1t is the me-
dunn for Transforming this vast amount
of otherwise useless material into pal
atable meat and rich milk. The in.
dustry of developing the reindeer is
in It's infancy. We may be certain
that this animal, adapted by thou,
sands of generations of habit to the
cold north, will yet become a domes'
tic animal of great importance.

Calcium and Magnesium.

Calcium and magnesium are

They are, however, so gener.

pressed a theory that there must be
a certain ratio maintained between
The calcium and magnesium in the

German scientists have recently com.
pleted some experiments to determine

needed relation between the presence

SUGAR as Feed.

In some parts of the United States,
and especially in some of the islands
now belonging 10 the United States,
some forms of sugar and molasses can
be purchased at a very low rate. 1t
therefore becomes desirable, II pos.
sible, to use some OF these as food for
farm animals. Even in the European
cities there are cheap grades Of sugar
and molasses that can be advantage
ously fed. Some Of the Partisan cab
companies have bFen experimenting
with the feeding of these foods as to
the time Of digestion. When fed TO
horses it was found that sugar was
digested ia from 27 TO 20 hours, while
molasses was digested in about l6
hours. The molasses seemed to
hasten the digestive processes. 1t has
also been fed to race horses, and some
dairy COWS are now oeing tried. The
general %concensus Of opinion among
the men that have tried this feeding
is that sugar and molasses are botu
good els ments of food.

Washing Fowls.

Perhaps it is not known
generally that before exhibit
ton fowls are thoroughly washed.
Ono exhibitor tells the writer that he
places his | ems il a tub of water and
rubs soap into their feathers. He
works this SOAP and water into the
feathers until they are covered with
the lather. This not only takes away
the dirt, but eff ectually destroys all
the mites and ice. Some of these
show men go " the length of using
chamois sking on the birds. Every
scale on the lrgs is examined, and If
found to have dirt under them, the
soap suds is nOrked under the scales
and the dirt worked out by the use Of
a small silver cf wood. Cleanliness
counts for a great deal in the show
room.
