a fact that is thoroughly attested by
the very satisfactory commercial and
mining conditions which prevail IN that
new and thriving camp. The town OF
Palmetto is growing rapidly both in
population and business Importance and
the mines are all making good with de-
v~elopment.
LYNCH and Lyon. who are operating
on several blocks of the Palmetto &
Death Valley D estate. have
sunk a shaft a depth of 20 feet and are
| prosecuting from it's bottom to gain
contact with two lodges which were
prospected at surface to good purpose.
n the veins prove up we'll under devel-
opment at the present depth the smart
is to be lowered another so feet ana an
other drift run out to them.
The G-ilIan-Harwood lease on the Bur-
iington claim is showing up better with
zach days development and is undues-
tionably one of the most promising
holdings in the camp. At a depth or 90
feet a crosscut has been run out to a
two-foot vein and exploration along It's
strike has resulted in the location OF
average gold values of better thar $50
per ton. Sinking is in progress and Will
continue until a depth of 100 feet Is
reached when the ledge is to once more
be explored.
Hooper and williams crosscut from
the bottom of their 60-foot shaft last
week and found the vein within a few
feet of drifting. 1t is standing almost
perpendicular and pans well. Its width
has not yet been fully determined, but
If the average values across it are as
good as those now obtained the lessees
have reason to congratulate themselves.
The shaft on the Little Pearl is being
lowered rapidly, the only delay expert
enced being in placing the necessary
timbers. Crosscutting is to be taken up
| shortly and is to be followed by drift
ing as soon as contact with the ledge is
gained.
Frank. Devlin and Nesbit have fol-
lowed the ledge all the way down with
their shaft and as depth is gained the
quartz Is hardening and values are more
uniform. Picked samples assay well up

are close to 800 the ton.

on the Alma and Reno claims of the
Palmetto Mining company and work is
being pushed with three shifts of min
ers. A number of lodges are being pros
pected and results are satisfactory.
Values in the Combination lease are
holding we'll and the ledge is becoming
more solid. In places it has narrowed
to a few inches, but immediately widens
out again. A within has been ordered
and as soon as it is in place the shaft
will be lowered another 100 feet.
The crying need in the Palmetto
district is a mill, but it is understood
that this want will soon be supplied. If
not, shipping can be resorted to sue
c~essfully if present values hold. The
nearest railroad station is Coaldale, on
the Tonopah railroad, forty-six miles
distant, but it is a down hill pull all
the way and a liberal freighting rate
can be secured.

THE BROWNIES
Had Their Twelfth Animal Reunion
Mt GladeVllle Last Saturday.,

One OF the best aud mos, success
ful annual picnios yet held by the
Brown Family came of last Sa,ur.
day at Gladesville. The weather
was fine and the roads good, and
there was a large attendance about
two hundred being present. The
program was carried out in full,
every performer being present, and
some splendid addresses were deliv.
cred, enlivened by some excellent
violin solos by Thomas G.. Brown,
who is quite an artist in this line.
The table was sight to see. 1t
was long enough to seat, about a
hundred people at a time, and was
simply piled with all the good things
of The season. There were three
times round and everybody ate
heartily, and still enough left for as
many more, many baskets not being
opened, as there was no room tor
the contents and plenty without
them. 1t was certainly Feast of
the Passover Of good things. There
were babies there in their mothers
arms and quite a number who had
passed the allotted age and are liv-
ing on borrowed time.
The Association voted by big
majority TO meet next year at
Reedsville, and the time the last
Saturday in August. A Committee
on Arrangements, composed of
Robert b. Brown, L. Z. Cobun and
Ed. S. Brown, were appointed.
Officers were elected as follows /:

There were members present from
different sections of Preston and
from Monongalia, Marion, Taylor,
Harrison, Braxton, Writ and other
counties. The editor of this paper,
who was President of the Associa-

Great Hield of Alfalfa.

The Corvallis Times says OF the
alfalfa crop on the state agricultural
lege farm:
A fifth crop of alfalfa s foot high on
the col eye farm. 1t stands thick and is
fine pasturage. The four crops that
have been taken off this season made a
yield of q. l6 tons of green feed, equi-
valent to nine tons of cured hay per
acre. This is yield to make an Ore
gon farmers heart glad. Great as is
vetch, as forage plant, it cannot
approach it..
The tract in question comprises two
acres. 1t was s0wn six years ago, and
during the five seasons that it has been
cropped. there have been l9 cuttings.
The land is ordinary wheat lands
bordering on and just trifle above the
white land level. 1t is partly tile drain
el but not all.
It's history as an alfalfa producer has
been extremely satisfactory. 1t has
proven that with reas enable attention
alfalfa can be grown on almost any land
in the Willamette valley. especially II it
be well drained. This is the belief of
DR.. Withycombe who has charge OF the
tract in question.
The college has six scres in alfalfa in
addition to the two acre tract referred
to. 1t Likewise has a thrifty yield,
The probabilities are that whenever
land is demonstrated to be an alfalfa
producer il immediately becomes worth
500 or more per acre. When Benton
county produces all the alfalfa of which
il IS capable, it will become a county OF
lich farmers.

The company has capital Of $500, 900,
more than half of which was subscribed

1t is proposed that Eastern warehouses
