FARMING, IN INDIA.

Agricultural practice in southern
India from start to finish requires re-
ligious rites.
In The Tamil districts the agricul-
tural year commences about April.
On April % the cuitivators o. a village
consult a "yalluvan," who fixes 10:
them the kind of wood tlat they
should cut and take away, He is sup
posed to settle the question as the
result of astrological observations
smado on the commencement of the
Tamil News Years Day. which falls
about April 10. Each cultlvator then
takes a little camphor, some incenee,
a few plaRtalns and coeoanut, and
with Others assembled for the pur-
pose he proceeds to the forest where
he worshiDS the tree he Is about 10
cut by burning the incense and the
camphor and offering the plantains
and the cocoanut. Then he lops OFF
the first branch, taking good caro-
that 1t falls on the right side. In
each. year the side is different. Pros
perity to himself and his cattle is
drmly believed to depend very much
upon this. He then cuts away the
required quantity Of wood and takes
It home.
Another day is then selected, soon
after the early rains of the same
month, by the 'Valluvan," and then
the greatest event of the agricultural
year occurs. Each ryot takes the
wood he has selected for the plough,
which is newly fitted up and taken
to the field where the bullocks are
tied to 1t, and behind it stand other
pioughs with teams of oxen tied TO
them, while large crowds assemble
around the teams.
The principal ploughman then
daubs the pair of oxen tied to the
new plough with anillne powder and
turmerio paste; he lights camphor
and burrs incense before it. breaks
a cocoanut and with It he makes an
offering Of a pot of jagge.y water
and parcied grain and Bengal gram
Then he drives the plough across the
field, preceded by the other plough
men, and after a few rounds the oxen
are unyckcd and the offerings dis
trlbuted to those prescnt,-Madraa

YOU will have a chance to see the high

The st. Ives company will no only
keep on drifting each way on their
present vein, but will continue cross
cutting on the other side of their

undoubtedly encounter another vein
there. They will also start raising on

the sinking of their main shaft TO the
next level. From there they viii

OF the above tonnage Gil tons of

Conclusion-The results so far have

ton of a mill for the treatment of our

The general physical condition of

AUSTIN, New, May 19.-The Ophir
shaft will soon be equipped with a
steam hosting plant after which the
work of clearing and retimbering will
be pushed without interruption. The
work az the Ophir will be among the
most important operations of the Aus
in-Manhattan company, and it is de-
signed to use this shaft to mine the
rich region, hitherto reached through
the Union shaft. The Union shaft will
bc used for pumping and it will drain
the entire workings. Later connec-
lions between the two shafts will be
made to facilitate the general opera
lions.
Regarding the mill, being put in here
at this time by the above company, in
formation comes from Boston that the
six separators have been completed at
the factory and are ready for ship
ment.
This company has two especially in
teresting points of development o.
in hand. They are at extremes of the
camp in point of location being prob
ably six miles apart. The south work
ings are a northeast and southwest
sy stem of veins interested by the
Lander hill system. At Midas Fla.
they find the Jack Pot system of veins
also intersected by the Lander Hill
vein system. In both cases it appears
to be the Lander Hill veins that have
brought the mineral enrichment. This
shows the enormous extent of the gi-
gantie field which is traversed by lit
orally hundreds of veins of ore, known
collectively as the Lander Hill vein sys-
tenn. This vein system shows high
grade values wherever work has been
done. The real production of the camp
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-05-21

past two years goes to show that as
great results may come from mining
the Lander Hill system of veins, at
points are removed from the hill that
gave the system a name. The enor-
nous extent of the m~ineraliZed area of
Austin has been little appreciated of
recent years outside of those who have
made a personal study of the camp.
1t is this immense acreage of the Aus
tin pay zone that is attracting more
capital here every month for mining
purposes. 1t is this virgin ground that
will make Austin as vigorous and live
ly as the younger camps of the state.

Practically all of the mining COM
panies and individuals holding and
owning ground in the Ida and Cuprite
districts, and from there on into the
Owens Valley country, have of late
been receiving letters from the Ida
Valley Construction company, with Of
fees at San Antonio, Texas, the letters
accompanied by blanks for deciding
rights of way for a proposed railroad
from Cnprite to Ida and on into the
Owens Valley country. AS the South
ern Pacific is building from the south
iato the Owens Valley country, and
San Antonio is a Southern Pacific town,
il looks as though the Southern Pacific
has a finger in the pie, although the
purpose is not yet clear. The Southern
Pacific will eventually have a line from
the Owens Lake country to Los An
geles, but it has 40 connection between
Nina and Cuprite, so it is hard to figure
just where the proposed Cuprite- Owens
Valley road would benefit the Espee.

panies in the districts named are re-
eeiving is as follows:

The report of General Manager Kir-

pany for the fiscal year ending March
81, 1910, is interesting, as it shows that
the little mine is making a fine record
land may really be classed with the big
ones of the Tonopah camp. h report
shows that a great deal of develop
ment work was done on the various
levels and that the mill made a fine
showing for its first month of opera
ton. The report closes as follows:
Mill-As stated, the mill consists of
80 stamps and an adequate cyanide
plant. The mill is a model plant in
every respect, and cost of same was
less thar $l5o,00o, as estimated in my
last yearly report.
During the first 30 days the min was
run on low grade ore to thoroughly test
the same. The following statement
shows the results from mill operations
during the month of March:
