The Mines.

]. w. Kepple, who has been
drilling on the Wilbur land, SIX
miles west of Baxter, has struck
lead and and zinc ore at a depth
of 200 to 245 feet in four holes,
IS yards apart. The lead vein,
which is 200 feet down, is 13 feet
thick, and the jack, which is be-
low the lead, is from 20 to IS feet
thick. The zinc ore, just as il
comes from the ground, is 7 pei
cent zinc, and some of it is from
10 to II per cent. This is un-
usually rich ore, and we think
Mr.. Kepple and his associates
have remarkably good thing.

Awful Loss of Life.
Thousands of Lives Snuffed Ou
in a Jiffy.

The loss of life in this part OF
the universe was frightful last
Tuesday. The poor little things
were beaten to death by the rain
which fell in torrents for about
an hour, and it is not thought
they will cause very much trouble
the balance of this season. You
can't drown a chinch bug, but
he can be pounded to death, and
that's what happened to millions
of them last Tuesday afternoon.

DEMAND FOR APPLES INCREASING
Owens Valley Farmers Reaping the Benefits

It is a surprising fact that the III 4
crease in the production Of apples has
fallen far behind the increase of pop
Ulation in The United States. This.
taken in connection with the sudden
and remarkable popularity of the Cal
ifornia Apple in foreign countries,
should give some idea Of the wonder
tul future in store for the apple in
duStry.
The Owens River Valley has more
TO commend it as an apple and pear
srowing section than any location on
the Coast. It has a most healthful
elevation $1,000 feeD. 1t is between
two ranges of mountains that com
pletely protect il from wind storms and
supply it with water for irrigation
from the melting SHOWS that cap the
Sierras the year round. It's soil is
extremely rich. The locality is free
from pests or blight, and the hot, dry
winds that prevail in other sections.
The Valley offers substantial money
making opportunities. not only in per
feet, highest priced apples. but in dl-
versifed farming as well. Alfalfa. bar
ley and hogs thrive wonderfully. as do
