PLACER Ar
POISON IS
INSPECTED

FOLSOM, May 7--During
the last week or 10 days
many people Of Poison and
vicinity have visited the gold
mining district a couple Of
miles west Of Elmo.
There is considerable activity
in that section in one or two Il
the mines, but the J. T. Bruck-
hauser mine is the one which
is attracting the most attention.
There has been considerable
machinery moved in and the
washing OF the sand is in full
progress and It is reported they
are taking out a fair amount Of
gold
Those who have visited this
mine say the men at work are
rather reluctant to give out in
formation. but from other sources
it is learned that the sand is
yielding better than two dollars
per yard.
Five men are employed at
the mine. All the work so far
has been on the surface and
consists Of hauling the sand
to the machine in a slip. where it
goes through the washer and
where the gold is collected.
A number Of test no $ have
been put down, one to a depth
of so feet. It is said the sand
has become richer as depth is
gained.
The country around the mine
which is in operation. has been
pruspected during the winter
and some of The loca-
tions are being worked In a
small way.
At the Bruckhauser mine the
gold is found deposited in sand
mounds, and those who have Wis
tied the location say they have
enough sand-if gold is found
in paying quantities keep
the washer at work for years to
came-Polson Courier.

OF these is the practice at Kyrltx
Germany. Of distributing hot rolls
on the anniversary OF the capture
of notorious robber. The bandit
terrorized the countryside at one
period of the Middle ages. he and
his men would accost any traveller
who appeared worth robbing, and
at times descend upon towns to
carry Off booty and hostages. Then
they would take to the hills, where
their knowledge enabled them TO
defy pursuers. After slipping away
many times he was finally run
down and captured. In celebration
of the event the lord who ruled
that particular section of the
country gave away loaves of bread
to all his serfs and vassals. The
custom never has died out.

Besides furnishing feed for the
game birds the black Locust tree

size. It's intricate root system is
well adapted for holding soil and
checking erosion. As member of
the legume family, the locust tree
fixes nitrogen, enriching the soil.
With these several points i'm its
favor black locust is one of the
favorites for planting woodlands,
groves, eroded areas and odd
pieces of waste land about the
farm. On account of the presence
of harmful insects in certain To-

the state forestry agencies before
planting on a large scale.
