CLOVER AND ALFALFA VALUE
Roushase Used in Feeding Tests With
Lambs at the ohio Expert
ment Station.

When both roughages We're of equal
quantity, clover and alfalfa had about
equal values for fattening lambs in
feeding tests at the Ohio experiment
station.
Alfalfa usually Is harvested in bet
ter condition than clover. and COM
mands higher price on the market.
The results of these feeding tests
justify warning to feeders not to
cvervalue alfalfa to the extent OF feed
ing an inferior grade of this hay when
good clover may be had at lower
price.-Ohio Experiment Station.

Always the pennies were the contri,
button of their visitor. and Uncle
Zekiel used to get card and pencil
and figure out what two cents would
amount to in twenty-one years. Then
he would slap his thigh and chuckle
and add:
"Oh, there'll be quite enough to
educate Rossmore, If 1 live long
enough-and Dunbar let's me keep ii
up," he would add, w,,h grim look
of mystery, and, at t,nes, malice on
his face.
Thus nearly two years passed away
and one morning news came to the
Mason home that Uncle Ezekiel was
dead. After the funeral a will was
read that left the home to Dunbar.
And nothing left for you, dear "
sighed Nellie.

had become of quite sum Uncle Ze-

extravacnnt habits of Dunbar were
blamed for this. however. He put the
farm in the hands of an agent to sell
royal good time when he got hold of

1t was year later when Nellie and
Darrell came into the house from

COMPLETE TRAIL
 TO THE KANTISHNA

FAIRBANKS. - That he and his crew have completed q trail which brings the Kantishna country within three days mush of Fairbanks, IS the assertion of Tom Lloyd, foreman of the crew of the Alaska road com mission, who has just finished the work. The new trail is thirty-seven miles in length and extends from Dia- mond City, in the Kantishna, to a point about thirty miles above Nenana on the route of the govern ment railroad. To prove that such time could be made, Pete Anderson, "the first man to plant the United States flag on the top of Mt. Me Kinley," made the trip in three days, arriving here with the party.

AND KNOWLEDGE
DESCRIBE VALUES.
ERNEST LIE NEvE FOSTER,
Denver, Colo.

MR.. A. ]. CONWAY,
l have been acquainted with the
mines upon Republican Mountain,
above Silver Plume. Clear Creek
County, Colorado. siuce January, 1872,
having operated mines there from that
time to the present, living at the foot
of 1t many years, as well as at George
town. I thus have a personal and in
innate knowledge Of the output, as
we'll as the discovery OF many Of the
mines.
The ores which have been extracted
from this mountain have been of an
unusually high grade in silver. Many
tons exceeding one thousand ounces
silver per ton have passed through my
hands. 1t is true that rich ores have
also been taken from the adjacent
mountains, but there are none which
have a record of as high a general
average from a like area.
In addition to mining did great
deal of assaying in the early seven
ties. as we'll as purchased ores for
shipment to Europe, therefore this
statement is made not from hearsay
but from practical experience.
In 1872 the cost of shipment of ores
to England, including the treatment
per ton, so that ores of less silver con-
tent than one hundred ounces per ton,
could not be shipped; amalgamating
and chlorination mills at Georgetown
at that time treated some of the less
rich ores, but think 1t is safe to say
nothing less than fifty ounce ore was
saved. everything else being thrown
into the dumps.
l make these statements with the
endeavor to state correctly as far as
human imperfections of memory about
observations and experience of be-
tween forty and fifty years ago permit,
and the natural proneness to exagger-
alton which time so frequently devel-
ops, in regard to happenings of the
past, and believe that what have said
is fair and not overestimated.
Yours very truly,

THE GEORGETOWN BOARD OF
MINES AND COMMERCE.
MR.. A. CONWAY.
Denver, Colo.
Replying to your request for infor-
nation regarding Silver Plume Dis.
trict as a producer Of Silver Ore,
would say, this camp is known as one
of the richest Silver producers in this
country, and is particularly famous
for the richness of its ore and extent
of its ore deposits, which seem almost
inexhaustible. as some of the earliest
producing mines of this district are
still among the largest shippers of
high grade ore.
The shipments from the before
mentioned district is onw averaging
over $4,000 per ton, which is probably
the highest average for Silver and
Lead ore of any mining camp in the
country, which is also one of the
largest producers.
Another favorable condition of this
district is the absolute lack of failure,
every mine SO far as my knowledge
extends, having an exceptional sue
cess. a large number who started In a
small way have produced millions al
ready. The richest and largest pro-
ducers being located on the Republi-
can, Sherman and Democratic noun
tains.
Present developments indicate that
Silver Plume will soon be the greatest
lead, xin> and silver camp in the eoun-
try.
I believe the Silver Plume Consoli-
dated Mining Company's properties
are ideally located and great possibili-
ties are ahead of them
Very truly yours,
