A LITTLE HISTORY RECALLED.

William Watson the English poet who writes really good notorey years ago when he wrote Of Premier Asqus wife, daughter, The Woman with the Serpent Tongue, has written sharply worded To Amer ica Concerning England"
 Chiding the maintenance of strict neutrality the poet relieves his feelings thus:
 "Art thou her child, born in the proud midday
 Of her large souls abundance and eNcess?' In what he sapest criticism of the neutrality attitude he asks:
 And this thunderous hour of struggle and stress,
 Hither the wilderness
 What word frozen the frozen spray?
 Neutrality! The tiger from his den
 Springs thy mothers throat, and canst thou now
 Watch with a strangers gaze?'
 Evidently the poet studied history, he would incidents that the birth hour of this 1776 Also he might remember certain 1872 years following including the burning of the capitol at Washington

POWER SLU|C|NG FOR OCTAVE
 FIELD
(From Tuesdays DaiIyO

Sluicing operations on large scale are to begin in a short time on placer lands in the southern part of this county near Octave, C. B. Hayes, the operator being in the city yester- day and closing a deal with the Hill Hardware Company for large equipment of machinery.
 A gasoline engine will furnish the power to drive a large centrifugal pump, the supply of water being abundant for the purpose. This will be the first time known in that field where power has thus been em- p1oyed supplanting the usual method of recovering the values by dry wash CT and gravity water flow, both such principles being impracticable in the belt where the holdings are located, on account of its isolation from liv ing water, and the condition of the ground at this time not being sus ceptiblc to any but the wet process.
 This innovation, if successful, will lead to other projects being intro duced in a section that enjoys so much favor for its auriferous wealth.
