brought back a number of high-grada
specimens Of the metal, and while
there gave a thirty-day option or two
OF the claims TO j. C. Sheets, the well
known mining man of Goldfield. The
terms of the option include a pur-

all are said to carry good values in
tungsten. Some of the samples which
Mr.. Bell brought to Hart exceed 10
per cent wolfermite. The present
market value OF the metal, which is
used in tempering armor plate, Is
around $500 per ton.
The particular section In which
these claims are located has been
prospected for years, but on ACCOUNT
of the general lack of knowledge by
prospectors of tungsten, 1t has been
passed up as worthless. Few pros
pectors know tungsten when they
see 1t. and it is only recently that
their interest has awakened III the
metal. The rock has been repeatedly
tested for gold and silver. and when

ROAD RBPAIRER UNCOVERS
NINE IN FREQUENTED SPOT


A rich silver and lead mine has
been discovered on the Bodie grade
near Hawthorne.
For over thirty years thousands of
people and thousands of tons of
freight have been hauled directly
over a large body of high-grade sill
yer ore. The discovery was made b.
accident by an old prospector, who
was working on the grade repairing
the road.
Some months ago. Guy pritchardt

Bodie, about six miles from Haw.
thorne, struck with his pick, black
metal or rich silver ore, in a vein
which crossed the grade where he
was working. Following up his dis.
covery, he found a w~ell-defined fis-
sure vein, which he traced several
thousand feet, and located thereon
several claims.
Under a lease, worked at present
by Adams & Miller of Hawthorn
and Ed Heller of Silver Star, an i'm
mense chute of rich silver and lead
ore has been opened up, which is in
creasing in depth and extent each
day. \ force of twenty-one miners Is
now employed, and the work Is con-
fined to two tunnels running on the
vein: the upper tunnel being fifty
feet above the lower tunnel, with
three to four feet of h~igh-grade silver
ore in the face of each tunnel, sam
pies of which assay 100 ounces in
silver with a good per cent of lead.
The face of the lower tunnel il
now 800 feet in the mountains, which
gives a depth from the surface of
over $50 feet. A shaft has been SUNK
on the vein from the upper tunnel to
the lower tunnel, a distance of fifty
feet. the entire depth of which passed
through rich ore, and an upraise for
air to the surface likewise showed
ore to the top. While the shaft sunk
between the tunnel levels blocks out
a large body of rich ore, another
shaft being sunk on the vein at a
distance of 400 feet from the lowe
tunnel, and which shaft is also in
rich ore, practically proves that the
chute of ore extends and is practically
blocked out for a distance Of over
500 feet, with a showing of several
thousand tons.

doubt that competent goat raising in
this country, especially in the vicinity
of large cities, would prove exceed
ingly remunerative.
The chief things to be considered in
this connection are that good breeds
are essential to success and that, al
though the goat will thrive almost
anywhere and stand any amount OF
cold, it does best on dry land and
when kept reasonably warm, says the
Drovers' Journal.
Most people have an idea that the
goat, to do well, must be allowed to
run more or less wild and be always
kept in the open air. AS a matter of
fact, it adapts itself admirably to farm
life and gives it's best results when

AGRICULTURlST'S
IDEAS.

In answer to an inquiry regarding
the best products to grow on the
logged-off or stump lands of Western
Washington and Oregon, Prof. Piper,
of the Bureau of Plant Industry Of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, says:
"The main idea is that of devising
the cheapest practical means of clear
ing the logged-over lands of Western
Washington. A great many devices
have been used in this work, but ap-
parently the cheapest way of clearing
such land especially on large scale,
is by the use of dynamite to blow
out the stumps and of donkey engines
to drag off the logs and stumps. Where
such methods as these are used, the
cost of clearing land that has been
heavily timbered varies from $50 to
$50 per acre. One tract of eighty acres
in Whatcom county that | was in
formed about last summer, was clear
ed in this manner at an average or
$40 per acre. Of course this is
high price and is profitable to do only
on the better types of soil. 1t is per-
haps questionable whether expert
ments by this department could de-
wise means by which the lands could
be more cheaply cleared. 1t must be
borne in mind that the inventive gen
JUS of a great number of people has
been at work on this problem for a
long time and the chance of our find
ing methods much superior to those
now seem to me to be slight.
zone economical point in regard to
this matter of clearing these lands
should not be lost sight of, that is
farmer having a small patch of cleared
land can from year to year increase
his clearing by utilizing his spare time
and in this way increase the acreage
of his farm with a very little cash out
lay.
"There is one other matter in regard
to these logged-over lands in West
ern Washington and Western Oregon,
and that is the utilization of them,
especially the poorer ones, as pasture.
Where these lands are covered with
brush this can be very profitably and
cheaply removed by pasturing Angora
goats, a practice that is rapidly in
creasing both in Washington and Ore
gon Now, if such lands cleared OF
their underbrush by goats are sown to
grasses, especially timothy and clover,
there results a respectable amount OF
pasturage, which can be utilized by
cattle. In fact by the judicious use
of both goats and cattle an enormous
amount of pasturage can be secured
out of the logged-over lands of West
ern Washington, which it would not
pay at the present time to clear. This
method of utilizing such lands seems
to be by far the most economical and
most profitable to use at the present
time.
my personal opinion, based on
many years intimate knowledge OF the
region, that this very arduous work
will have to be largely if not
entirely a matter of individual effort
for the reason that the farmer or
homesteader can by utilizing his off
hours clear this land much more
cheaply than can be done otherwise.

A Complimentary Editorial.

It is generally true that an eXternaI

good or as safe and reliable to apply to
the human body as Caustic Balsam. We
can safely recommend it in all cases

USEFUL AND PROFITABLE.

1t is estimated that there are at
present in the United States about
100000 goats. OF this total nearly
two-fifths are Angoras. The balance
are of various breeds and mongrel
mixtures. Many American farmers
keep a few goats with their sheep, it
being well-known fact that dogs
which are given to worrying sheep
will not so readily modest flock con-
tanning a goat or two.
The climate and soil of most of the
states of the Union are well fitted for
the raising of goats, and as goat

The owner of a badly brier-infested
or Undiscovered farm has before him
an expensive and disagreeable task il
he intends to clear it by manual labor.

An Iowa landowner has cleared 600
acres of briers and bushes through this
agency. He estimates that the goat
has increased the value of this land at
least SO an acre, and while the animal
has been making the owner money in
that direction it has been contributing
to his bank account with its hair, skin
and flesh. Nor has it been troubled
during the time by the great enemy of
the sheep, the dog.
