drifting has been done and considerable
ore blocked out. This ore, which runs
as high as 1890 ton. will be taken out
and shipped while sinking is going on
in the Truett shaft. The mill value of
this ore will average $50 a ton or bet
ter.
President William Bayly and o. p.
Posey and w. f. Mitchell of the Daisy
Mines Syndicate, have just completed
an extensive examination of the prop
erty, and their determination to concen-
trate work in the Truett shaft is the re-
suit. Speaking for himself and asso-

company, said last night:
'There is a good deal of ore blocked
out on the 210-foot level of the old COM
pany workings, but we have found II
inadvisable to attempt to sink this shaft
to greater depth, owing to the condition
of the ground. While the mine was shut
down last spring, the shaft filled with
water and when work was resumed the

point, had become so thoroughly satu-

lies at the extreme south end of the
Consolidated holdings, at point ESQ

promise of developing into good body

Good Changes In Methodist Rules.
New York Sun, April 81

The larger part of the business
session of the New York Methodist
Conference yesterday was devoted
to a discussion of the app .Atment of
presiding elders.
The matter was introduced in the
form of q memorial TO the Methodist
General Conference, which meets
next spring, asking it to change the
Methodist discipline SO as to have
presiding elders elected by the an
nual conferences and not appointed
by the Bishops, as at present.
One speaker urged that the whole
system of presiding elders ought to

Farmers find many curious things hap
pening around them every day which
they a not understand, and nobody,
even the scientists, can explain for them.
Why, for instance, does o horse strain a
drink of water through its lips? Why
does a COW poke her entire face into the
bran mash, eat all she can, then lick her
nostrils with her tonguep Why does tho
chicken drink exactly opposite to the
horse and COW, having to hold it's head
up when it swallows a drink of waterP
Then note the pigeon, of the same feath-
cred family, as it keeps its bill immersed
while drinking. But a dog laps the
water in it's mouth. This animal, more
over, never chews it's food, while the cat
his companion household pet, always
chews thoroughly before swallowing.
How Is it that failure to masticate does
not hurt a dog, while in case of all other
animals, including man, unchewed food
causes dyspepsia. Why has a COY a cud
and why can a horse SILVER it's hide to
drive away flies? These questions and
many more like them that might be asked
will show us that we are far from know
ing 1t all.
