After an Absence Of Twenty Years.

After an absence of twenty
years, during which time she
has been a resident of Rogers
vile, Tenn, Miss Kate Allender
spent the past ten days among
former Fulton County relatives
and friends at Fort Littleton and
McConnellsburg. Before going
to Tennessee, Miss Allender was
a teacher in the pubic schools in
this county teaching one or more
terms in the McConnellsburg
schools.
Miss Allender took advantage
of the excursion rates given to
the eX-Confederate soldiers to
their reunion at Washington d.
c., and she and Miss Campbell,
spent a few days in the Capitol
City very pleasantly.

SiiO Profits.

Results in Lancaster county
last year showed that a silo was
worth $40 per steer. The uni
versal use of silage throughout
that county during the past sea-
son would have meant an in
creased profit to the county of
$600,0O0. A man feeding thirty
steers would have paid for his
silo with an extra profit made
possible by feeding corn silage.
Applying similar standards on
a State wide basis to all counties
in which steer feeding is practi-
cal would show a proportionately
greater saving through feeding
silage.

FROM THE EXCHANGES

The discovery in Nevada may OF
may not be of economic importance
but it calls attention to novel and re,
markable type of deposit, and, still
more important, it opens possibilities
of prospecting in the enormous areas
of rhyolite flows in the Great BASIN
and elsewhere in the West. Very SINH
lar depsits have been known tor some
time in several states in Mexico, par
ticularly in Durango and Guanajuato
The ore is a kidney shaped OF NAM
military cissiterite, which is associ-
ated with hematite, chalcedony, opal
trydimite, and quartz, most peculiar
combination from mineralogica
standpoint. 1t is bileved that etiwlt
standpoint. 1t is believed that the
veins result from the action of hot
waters, which near the surface have
extracted emanations from the ihyo-
lite very soon after its solidifcation
The uncommercial character OF the til
deposits of similar character IN Mex
leo prevents us, however, from being
very sanguine respecting the similar
deposits in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
