Of Farming, Mining and Other En. terprises Across the
 Divide.

Jerry Ford came over from Eureka Monday night, and was full of news of interest from his side of the ridge.
 Asked how much the Chute Manley bedrock on Thanksgiving will run, he would not hazard guess, but said he saw an SIS pan, and it wasn't picked pan, either
 On No. ? Thanksgiving, Jerry says, Nick Nelson and Mike McGough have pay running from the grass roots down : feet. Bedrock is wet and they cannot cleanit. For lack of water they are run ming d rocker and are making from $60 to $l00 day just as the dirt averages this, mind you, with the bedrock out of reach in the wet
 Unless somebody has been peddling to Jerry pretty plenty it will be seen that there is some pretty good ground on Thanksgiving And he figures that the Chute-Manley part of the creek, even with their big way of working, will last at least three years after this.
 It is the farming news, however, that sounds the best of all. Owing to many other pressing duties Cy Noble, at the mouth of Eureka, only planted about thirty acres. Asked how Cy's crop is showing up, Jerry said:
 "Well, to tell you the truth, I don't believe he'll make much corn.'
 Jerry Ford" said the News man, do you mean to say he has planted corn?''
 "Oh, yes; he's got in considerable, but it may not make much this year. Cy has neglected it. His potatoes ought to do better. But to see farming right you have got to go to Hot Springs. They have got plenty of new potatoes there already, and the watermelons and the pumpkins are smiling on the vine. do not doubt that Manley's potato crop will bring him in s20, 900 this year."
 And so it went With all the fame that attaches to the wonderful Hot Springs ranch it is hard to believe that one is not being jobbed a little when an enthusiast like Jerry Ford gets to telling of ferns s to 10 feet high and flowers wild and cultivated that rival the choicest products of the gardens of the most favored climes.
 The products of the soil are not all the attractions at the Springs by any means Under Mir. Manley's energetic management, NIT. Ford says, the place is fast developing into q resort with all the conyeniences that can be found at the Hot Springs of Arkansas or the watering places abroad.
 AS indicating the magnitude of Mir.

AN EDITORS TROUBLES.

Pm feeling forlorn, For no one's been born
 And there isn't single thing new No one has been killed, But space must be filled,
 And what is poor printer to do? 1 almost could cry Because no one will die,
 And no one has eloped to get wed. No couple has parted; l wish something started;
 The old town appears to be dead. 'Twould serve good turn If something would burn.
 If cyclone should wander this way I should shout with delight, Because could write,
 And should surely have something

waiian Yacht Club has taken Up a

made by their owners. It is hoped that
both Admiral Very and Captain OF

ton al Pearl Harbor, for which the

here about 6 O'Clock Sunday evening.
