FORMER RESIDENT in
LUCK in WASHINGTON

News comes from Spokane to the
effect that B. B. Williams and son,
who left Goldfeld a little over a year
ago, have evidently "struck it rich
in Washington state, near Chewelah,
some so miles from Spokane.
They have uncovered a gold bearing
quartz ledge in the granite formation.
the ledge s to 60 feet across and ex.
posed for 600 feet in length. The
Spokane and Seattle papers state that
samples taken for eight feet across the
ledge show values of $1,000, and that
there is quite a rush to the district, the
ground being staked out all around the
original point of discovery.
Mr.. Williams and son are developing
their property, and have caught the
ledge by a tunnel at a depth of IS feet.
Letters and papers have been received
in Goldfeld from Mr.. Williams, and il
is probable that several Goldfield min
ers will soon leave for the northern
country. The property is near the old
Jay Gould mine. In years gone by the
Indians used to bring in specimens of
rock speckled with gold, but search fol
the source of the ore was unavailable
and it divulged that the rock had been
picked up from stream beds, where it
had been washed from the hillside lode,

LEASERS PROVING UP EARL

Ore is being stopped from both the
100 and the ESQ levels. While they are
taking full eight feet width from the
upper level the values, as indicated
above, are not so good as in the deeper
workings.
This lease has been, and continues TO
be. one of the best assets of the camp,
due mainly to the industry and persist
ence of John Swanson. Associated
with him as owners of the lease are

In the placer gulch at Manhattan
much work is now in progress, the
present operators taking advantage Oh
the lessons learned last summer, and
doing their work in a systematic ana
economical manner that spells success.
In a of the work being done
in the gulch the Manhattan Mail says:
At the main Wilson workings on the
Wolftone Extension about twenty-five
yards OF gravel are being washed daily
and are netting on an average OF $40 per
yard. The Alaska trolley equipment
works splendidly, and there IS an
abundance of water for sluicing pur-
poses.
G. o. Olive, formerly postmaster al
Round Mountain and at one time at the
head of the Hydraulic Mining company
in that camp, has taken up his resi-
dence here and will try his luck in the
gulch. Interested with him is "Dry-
wash" Wilson and they have taken a
lease on the Nellie Grey claim. They
have a shaft down rs feet to bedrock
and have three feet of pay gravel. The
sluices and machinery are in place ana
it is the intention of Mr.. Olive to start
suicing within a week. Messrs. Olive
and Wilson own automobiles, which
they find quite convenient IN their
trips up and down the gulch.
Bissell and Davis have their main
drift in 500 feet east of the shaft and
a second drift in $50 feet north. Work
IS being prosecuted in both drifts. In
both drifts the pay channel has been
found to be 80 feet wide and the gravel
Will average three feet across. Inc
gravel being washed daily averages So
a yard. Between Is and 20 yards go
through the ~sluices every day. Eleven
men are employed, working two shifts.
James Rornes has a fine equipment
installed on the lease on the Septem-
Der ground which he and "Dry-wash !"
wilson are working and expects to De

MANHATTAN, June 2.-Taken al

ground at Manhattan, is proving one
of the most satisfactory mines In the

status of development. At that 'tepth
the ore body is demonstrated to be Z to

pany has given bond for Owens in the
amount of $4,000 as assessor and fol
$45, 900 as sheriff.
Insanity Theory Advanced.
The Tonopah Bonanza takes the posi-
ton that Sheriff Owens may have be-
come temporarily deranged while away
on a trip, and in regards the alleged
shortage in his accounts says:
"The fact that there is not sufficient
money in his bank account in Tonopah
would not alone prove his inability. TO
settle, because it is possible that Mr..
Owens had moneys in other banks or
other repositories. 1t IS possible that
if Mr.. Owens were here, everything
could be settled without trouble and
satisfactorily explained. 1t is possible
that Mr.. Owens is temporarily suffering
from some mental affliction and has no
intention of absconding or ~dofrauding
the county or state out OF any moneys.
"The fact that Mr.. Owens could have
drawn out all of the money from the
Nevada First National bank of Tono-
pah, and the fact that he left property
in his safe of value, and the further
fact that he left in the town seven or
eight houses unencumbered at least B a
certain extent sustains the theory at

Land Values.

Albany, N. Y, Aug. 30.-Chairman
Timothy L. Woodruff Of the Repub-
lican state central committee will be a
witness today before Commissioners
Austin and Clark, who were appointed
by Governor Hughes to inquire into,
Adirondack land deals. Mr.. Woodruff
will be asked about his Kamp Kill
Kare mountain estate. Speaker James

fed concerning the purchase of $4,000
acres of land In 1897 for SO, 10000, or
at an average price Of Sap an acre.

II. l..

sioners Austin and Clark that the
states purchase In 1907 Of $4,000
acres Of Adirondack land, including
the Pickardt lands Of $4,000 acres, was
questionable. The commissioners in
sist that while the state paid $7.25 an
acre for this land it could have been
purchased several years earlier for
less than half that price and that the
people who sold this land to the state
had paid $500 an acre for the Pick
ardt lands and less than that for the
remainder of the $4,000 acres.
Mr.. Wadsworth called attention to
the fact that those who sold these
lands to the state had purchased them
several years previously and that Ad-
irondack lands had increased in value
each year. He declared If previous
state officials had been offered the
lands cheaper they were negligent in
not buying them. In his opinion these
lands were now worth $40 an acre.

RICH GIRL DIES

London, Aug. 30.-Lady Margary
Gladys Stuart Erskine, the second of
the three beautiful daughters of the
Earl Of Buchan, was found dead at
dawn Saturday on the golf links at
Aviemore, near Kingussie, in the Scot
fish highlands.
Lady Margery had a large sum Of
money in notes and gold which re-
manned intact.
The ~coroner's jury has returned a
verdict ascribing Lady Margery's death
to exposure and ~prtVation In accord
ancs with the doctors assumption, Das-
ed on an examination Of the remains.
Friends are of the opinion that she
either broke or sprained an ankle
among the rocks and was unable to
walk. All chances were against her
cries being heard in the wild and re-
mote region where her body was
found. The weather was stormy early
in August and cold enough In the
mountains to cause death comparative

befell Lady Erskine.

that caused those of her rank to re-

HOW TO GET WINTER EGGS.

How to get the flock of hens to lay
during the winter months is one of the
most important problems the poultry
man has on his hands. for it is then
that his eggs fetch the highest price.
Professor Rice of Cornell university
who has made a special study of the
care and feeding of poultry, recon-
mends the following method: Keep
hoppers before the flock all the time,
one containing grit, another crushed
oyster shells, another ground beef
scraps and another q mixture of equal
parts by weight of cornmeal. wheat
bran middlings and beef scraps. The
scraps should be of the best quality.
and fresh water should be kept before

THE HOME SUPPLY OF ICE.

Much may be added to the keeping

warmer months q the year. In cities
and towns of any size the consumer
has his wants in this line met by put

jewellers the matter is not so simple.
For those who wish to lay by a supply

lions may be helpful. An outbuilding

essary supply may be utilized. This

be good drainage from a point below

foot or fourteen inches should be left
between the body of ice and the walls

packed in regular fashion for economy
of room, with enough space between
them so as to give free drainage to
the bottom. The sawdust or other ma
terial used in packing should be pour
ed in between the ice and the walls as

not be packed down. When the last

BEST WAY TO FEED CORN.

Since corn is the chief article of diet
in those states where hog raising is
carried on extensively the question of
the feeding Of it in the most econom-
ical form is live one for every feeder.
Realizing this fact and with n view to
securing data that would be of practi-
cal value for the feeder, the directors
of the Iowa experiment station at
AmeS have been conducting exhaustive
feeding experiments for the past three
years with q view to finding out in
what form corn should be fed to give
the largest as we'll as the most eco
nomical gains. A bulletin recently
published by the station gives the re-
suits of these feeding Investigations.
A gist of the findings should be OF
practical aid TO every hog raiser who
uses corn as part of the feeding ra-
ton. Six forms of corn We're used-dry
ear corn. soaked shell corn. dry corn
meal soaked cornmeal, dry corn and
cob meal and soaked corn and cob
meal 1t was found that Smelling cost
1 cent per bushcl, Smelling and grind
ing cents and grinding corn and cob
meal 6 cents.
In the tests made in 1907 100 pounds
of dry ear corn made as much pork as
112 pounds of shelled corn soaked
twenty-four hours or 100 pounds OF
cornmeal soaked twelve hours. In the
1908 tests shelled corn soaked twelve
hours gave slightly the fastest gains.
1t was found that, whether dry or
soaked. a bushel Of corn ground with
out the cob made more pork than a
buShel of corn ground with the cob.
while 4 buShel of ear corn made as
much gain as one and One-third BUSH
els ground into corn and cob meal at a
cost Of & cents per bushel Other in
teresting features of the experiments
might be given. but the practical les
son Of the tests. according to the ex-
perimenters, is summarized in the
statement that up to 200 pounds in
weight the fastest as we'll as the most
economical gains may be secured by
feeding dry ear corn. while for hogs
above this weight the best results ere
had with shellcd corn soaked twelve
hours. These results will he gratifying
to the average feeder, for the method
of feeding which gives best results is
that in which there is a minimum out
lay of time and expense in the prepAr-
ing and feeding of the ration.
