crops on few small fields near the
farmstead In which the crops may be
conveniently pastured. A hog pasture
plowed up makes one of the most de-
sirable places to grow corn.
Such piece of corn land, II fenced,
could very easily and profitably be fed
on with hogs. Corn land disked and
well prepared is an excellent place to
grow any kind of a grain crop. and
clover sown with the grain crop on
such soil has an excellent chance of
being in good condition for pasturing
the following year. Thus productive

In a recent letter written by
William Lloyd, generally known
as the "Ore Hound" of Pioche,
he is quoted as saying:
Il wish to draw your attention
to a few facts concerning the
Yuba mine. From the surface
to the 800 the ore bodies were
not very large, but in places be-
low the eighth level the vein was
twenty-five feet wide, two-thirds
of this being one hundred dollar
ore. | worked this property for
the Phoebe Consolidated compa-
ny from the eighth level to the
thirteenth level, and took out
over million dollars worth of
ore. Now, it is my belief that
the ore channels in the dyke are
about the same level; conse-
! quently the sixth level of the
Yuba East would. be the $50 of
the Yuba. Now, | will advise
you to lose no time in getting tC
the sixth level of the Yuba
East"
1t would seem by the above
that the company exects to get
bonanza ore body at the sixth
level, and if it does the stock o1
this company is going to sudden
ly be very valuable.
