University Inspects Trees.

The value of the state nursery in
spection which is being carried on by
the department of horticulture at the
University of Wisconsin is clearly de-
monstrated in the reports of work just
completed by Prof. J G. Hoare and
A. j. Rogers. 1t was found that in
one orchard the woody aphis was so
prevalent that 5000 trees had to be
destroyed. Shipments imported from
the East also showed the poplar borer
doing considerable damage. All
stock which was propogated in Wis
consin was found to be free of these
destructive pests, in every case. The
department inspected over three times
as many orchards, this year as last
year.

MINES, MINING and the MARKETS
MORE MACHINERY
FOR FUMAR0LE
MINING COMPANY HAS SECURED
MUCH NEW MACHINERY FOR
DEVELOPMENT

Stafford, September 2S.-Thc new
machinery, including big air com
pressor and station pump, has been in
stalled at the Fumarole mine and is now
in operation, and sinking has been re
sumed in the double compartment shaft.
The pump is a work on the 500-foot lev
ell and is capable of handling a great
deal more water than they have at
prcseat, in fact it is capable Of hand
ling the water to depth of fully one
thousand feet. In order that the new
machinery will be capable of doing its
work successfully as the shaft goes
down, it will be necessary to install
another big boiler. which will make
three.
Several :donths ago sinking was
stopped in the shaft and all the men put
on drift and eross-cut work for the
purpose of ascertaining the extent of
the ore body ON the 500-foot level.
The drift on the vein has exposed the
ore body a distance of 100 feet. Two
cross cuts have been run forty-fve feet
each, without eneountering the wall,
all the work being in ore. From this
drift Wine has been sunk to II depth
of fifty feet all in ore. At the bottom
of this Wine the ore is better than 81
in gold, while the entire ore body as
now blocked out is better than So.
Should the ore body prove not more
extensive than the present drift and
eross-euts show, with every one hun
dred feet in depth, 100000 tons of
ore will be exposed.
The present plan is to sink to a
depth of two hundred feet more as rap
idly as possible to ascertain more fully
the extent Of the ore body. 1t is not
the intention of the company to mine
a great deal of ore until they get their
reduction works in operation. 1t is
believed tina operations on the erection
of mills will be commenced within the
next two or three months.
This company has been operating
only about eleven months and yet they
have done more than one thousand feet
of work, all solidly timbcred. erected
modern machinery for the handling
of the work, built houses, and in fact
