of Beowawe and Is miles west of Alpha.
in Eureka County. in the foothills on
the east slope Of the Oortez range. The
first discovery was made in April Of this
year by Joseph Lynn, q prospector grub
staked by Messrs. Ebert, Swan and Dwyer
Of Palisade. Lynn prospected in the dry
gulch aud every painful of dirt showed
q string Of gold. He followed one Of
these gulches to a big porphyry dixie
that q through four Of the foothills.
and all along the dixie. which is 600 feet
wide and three miles long, o~utcroppine
strong for q mile and q half, he found
quartz that assayed as high as $40 in
gold. He located nine claims on the
pronounced outcrop. three claims wide

PASSENGERS ESCAPE BAD INJURY


On Tuesday morning while On route 10 the
Windfall property in the stage coach regularly
run to this mine by Fletcher Bros, . party
consisting Of J. W. Smith. president Of the
Windfall company, J.. j. Jones. secretary Of
the company, B. p. Campbell and L. G. Ste
vens Of the Windfall mill, together with Mrs.
Campbell and baby, had q narrow escape
from death through the runaway Of the four
horse team and the ovsrturning Of the coach
in the canyon about two and . half miles south
Of town.
All members Of the party except Msssrs.
Smith and Jones succeeded In getting out Of
the coach before the horses had attained
much speed, but Messrs. Smith and Jones,
however, were unable to alight before the
coach overturned, and they received severe
bruises and cuts, none Of them. however, of q
serious nature, and they are both now con-
graduating themselves that they are not oc-
cupying cots in q hospital. They claim their
escape is due to the proverbial 'windfall
luck"
The team ran for about 100 yards before
the coach was overturned. which was dragged
q short distances by the horses before they
were stopped. With the exception Of the
wheels and running gear, the coach was re-
duced to kindling wood.
After looking over the wreck the escape Of
Messrs. Smith and Jones from almost instant
death seems to have been miraculous.
Willis Bradley, the driver. claims the aeci-
dent was due to the breaking Of one Of the lead
lines, which caused the leaders TO double
back. or '.jack knife" on the pole team.

cuIRAss STYLE is POPULAR
For Young Girls It 10 Acknowledged
One Of the Most Effective
Of the Season.

The cuirass style of gown has
brought about an, effective combina-
ton of net covered with embroidery
and other materials. One of the popu-
lar evening frocks for girl who has
a good figure is a gracefully fitted
cuirass which extends to the hips, and
anticipated long skirt. The for
mer is made Of coarse net covered
with fiat embroidery of silk SOU
tache, and the latter of messaline with
a scroll of the sOutache outlining the
top of hem. This has tight elbow
sleeves fastened with frills of lace
and is cut into Dutch neck outlined
with a fat band of valenciennes lace
or a tucker of fine white net run with
colored silk ribbon. This frock is
| fastened down the back with lace
buttons.
The original model came out in
linen with the cuirass of coarse net
covered with an Egyptian design Of
fine soutache. 1t ran straight to the
neckband and was finished with q
Dutch collar OF baby Irish lace. The
sleeves are long, almost tight-fitting
and finished with turnover cuff q
baby Irish.

VALUE OF THE c0LoRED SLIP
With a Number Of These a Good
White Frock Can Be Worn
on Many Occasions.

The girl with little money and a
great need for pretty clothes would
do well we'll to remember that old but
none the less clever device Of using
colored slips over a white gown.
Girls who could not afford both a
class day dress and commencement
dress bought a nice white frock and
wore it on class day over a colOred
Slip with colored accessories, and usu
ally flowers to match.
By having various. slips, of lawn OF
silk, a good white frock may be worn
upon an endless number of occasions
Besides providing change of cos
tune, the slip actually protects the
gown and helps to keep it fresh.
A thin gown frequently looks better
hangs better, with a slip than withou
one.
There are various accessories which
may be had to match; sash, necklace
or pendant, stockings and even shoes
and, where possible, flowers.
Charming and inexpensive frock
may be made of white eyelet, embroid
cred in a color and worn over a sill
of the same color.

the second brood comes on during the
month of August. 1t would be best,
then, to kill on the slugs when they
first appear in June, and SO prevent
the defoliation of the trees by the
second brood in August.
When the slugs first appear on the
leaves the trees should be given a
thorough treatment with paris green
or some other arsenical poison. Since
the slugs feed openly on the upper
sides of the leaves there need be lit
tie difficulty in combating them. For
only few trees the paris green may
be applied dry, mixed with air slaked
lime, or even flour; part of the paris
green to 20 or more parts OF the other
material. For a liquid spray, paris
green at the rate of 1-3 or IA pound
to so gallons of water Will do the
work, adding about pound OF quick
lame to each barrel of water to pre-
vent any burning of the leaves. Ar

SOIL BENEFITED
BY ALFALFA CROP


When a plant furnishes an abundant
crop, such as alfalfa, with three or
four cutting during single season. it
is but natural to think that it will
greatly exhaust the soil. Nothing is
more erroneous. Instead of taking
strength away from the soil it puts
more into it; instead of exhausting 1t,
the fertility is increased. The pene-
trating powers of alfalfa roots are
well known. The roots are constantly
growing and decaying, thus adding to
the "humus" of the SOIL The strongest
point in favor of alfalfa as soil i'm
proven it it's remarkable nitrogen
gathering ability. The roots of al
falfa are full of the small nitrogen
tubercles which represent bottled up
vitality to plant life and it has been
proven by frequent experiments that
increased yields we're the rule when
paintings of any kind of crops had
been made on ground infected with nj
trogen bacteria.
Under these circumstances the
spread of Alfalfa fever" is no wonder
| With splendid crops of highest priced
hay on top of the ground, with the
roots working as perfectly natural fer
tilizers under the ground, farmers can
| do nothing better than to plant alfalfa.
The truth of this statement may be
realized and verified If one but takes
time to look up statistics and reads
about the marvellous increase in the
| acreage of alfalfa. In Kansas alone
the acres sown to alfalfa increased
from approximately $4,000 acres in
1891 to more than 74S.000 acres In
the acreage has increased in proper
ton, and other states are falling in
line.-A Kruhm

goes into the ground. Here it forms
cell in the earth, within which II
changes to the pupa. or resting stage.
and the adult fly emerges in about
IL to Is days after the slug has en-
tered the soil
The flies which lay the eggs for
the next brood of slugs are rather
small black insects. about a fifth OF
an inch long and with four wings.
The eggs are laid in tiny pockets
made by the flies in the under sides
of the leaves. These eggs hatch and
the second brood of the slugs work
on the trees during August and when
they become full grown go to the
ground. During the winter the slugs
of this second brood may be found in
their cells beneath the trees which
were infested by them in the summer
time. The pear. cherry. plum and
ounce are the trees which are most
attacked by these slugs.

SILACE PROPERLY
HANDLED HELPFUL
Incorrectly Put Up and Fed IT
May Be Expensive.

Silos have been abandoned in many
cases because the milk became so
badly tainted as to become unstable
If the creameries and cheese factories
were as particular as they should be
thew would condemn great deal OF
milk that is now accepted from silage-
fed herds.
This is not the fault of the silage; 1t
is the fault of the man who handles It,.
Silage has a very penetrative odor,
which is taken up very quickly by
milk. If silage is fed before milking
the milk is quite certain to become
tainted. II the milk is allowed to stand
a few minutes in the barn after milk
ing and silage is fed while the cans
are standing around, the milk will be
tainted.
If the stable is not ventilated or is
poorly ventilated the silage odors will
linger in the stable and faint the milk.
In an unventilated stable the stable it.
self will in time become saturated OF
permeated with the silage OdOr and
will faint the milk, no matter how"the
silage is handled.
The corn is frequently cut into the
silo too green, which makes very soul
silage, with strong odor. The silage
is frequently carelessly handled in the
stable it is scattered through the
alleys and allowed to remain on the
floors. In such instances the stable
will be scented with the silage ant
the milk will be tainted.
If good results are expected from
silage it must be properly handled IL
the stable. First, silage must be fet
only after milking Second. the floor
must be kept clean and no silag'
allowed to accumulate in the alleys
Third, there should not be NOR
silage fed than the stock will clear u
at once Fourth, the stable must b
! well ventilated. Fifth, corn shout
not be cut in too green. Sixth, don
feed moldy silage.
From the foregoing it will be see
that silage must be more CAREFUL
handled than ordinary roughage On
cannot throw silage around as h
might straw or hay and get satisfat
tory results.
Silage properly put up and properl
fed is a very cheap and most exec
lent feed.-Prof. G. v. Knapp.

IMMENSE AMOUNT DAMAGE

Plant IL Often LsA
Entirs1y Bare.

Last summer many cherry trees In
various parts Of Iowa were stripped
of their leaves by a dull Shiny slug.
Pear trees also are attacked by this
pest, perhaps even more than cherry
trees, hence the common name of the
insect. This slug feeds on the upper
surface Of the leaves, not eating holes
through them, but taking only the up
per portion and leaving the veins bare.
Leaves thus eaten by the slugs dry
and fall from the tree and frequently
leave the trees entirely bare Of foliage
In Iowa these slugs appear twice
