MINERS AND MINING.

A few first class quarts miners could

The Mvedisoias says parties hrom Sher
klan say that there is considerable actir
ity in the mines of that mection, and tiat
the leads are showing up in good sbape.
The placer mimes on Rivin. and Ram..
horn gulches ar' olerating with a full
four of men, and it is maid that the prea
perts look favorable for a good summer s
work.
kwx' lWo..Iruff of Poln started to ship

Mond.ay. Ther ar no flkes on this oe.
It is estimlated tha it will nun not less
than 1.44 per ton.
OHenry H.w-!tl aulil it. l'. 'Van Horne
have hwkated a depolst oIf I.lenitite iron
moutlh o.f thel Yellowstoie and within a
few mlilesl of Livingston. Assays show
the ore to consist of bl pier ient. of iron
and a trace of silver ansl gold.
In the Barker distrkict the May & Edna

Hopeful mine is Elo'king extra well. Evenl
Black Hawk stock is looking llup. The
Allis. Big Mike and other prop'rties arc
looking fine.
The englillne t of rol,. crusher and

Notwithstanding tw lhealvy sinowl-fall ill
the mountain*l last winter. which gave
rise to the hope dtha tlhe woulkd he an
abundant supply of water in Alder gulch
to assure a pilsperisoum mining season,
the hadl of water in the gulch is light,
and fears are entertainedl that it will con
tinue so throughout tIe slnusuer. Madi
The Mountain View gold miine of Pine
Grove is developing into a fine property.
It shows an eight-foot ledge of fine grade
a . whicll is quite extensive. and keeps
one mill loing full tilne. It could keep
o0 stamps running for an indefinite
perod. D. B. Ethell and John Van
SehalcK are the owners, and their friends
helieve that they have a hotnansa.- Iailry
Most big mining strikes are the result
of patiently following up the indLeations
which experience has taught to he valu
able. SiystematW labor, work. nerve and
pnatent pereveveence alone can succeed.
If such success he luck, lhave it so. But
he certain that well-directed efforts in
mlining will he sucressful in nine cases
out of ten, which is nore than can he
said for haklling, merchandising or even
farming. All life is in lottery, only in
mining the prises are morl numerous and
nmow magnificent thllan any other plur
suit.

Prnfessor cdlwlwisch. the well-known
naturalists of Bavarna, while traveling
with the Stanley expedition in time heart
of Afrka noti'cl a iplant with a peculiar
steel foliage, alld on examilation it was
fcndcl that the shrub, althouglh grow
ing like otlher pl)ants from tlw soil, was
practically comlallxui of ironl, nays the
Philadelphlia Timesn. TIe leaves, althoughl
very thin, were bent with great diffllculty
and the twigs and branclhew rsisted pres
sain. with a for'e e'quaml to the sameni
amount of iron, anii to ncure a leaf it
was naee-ar to separate it froIn tihe
ina with a file.
While Professor Schelwisch was clig
ging at the hble of this plant for the lulr
pose of making an exalninatkmn of the
roots, the natives crowded around him in
garet numbers. gesticulating in a soonac
inga nsner. The professor desisted fron
his work and the interpreter was sent for.
He explained that thsl was a holy tree
and worshipped by the natives in their
fetich religion as a God plant, and that to
dig one up would bring ruin and desola
tion upon the whole village and srround.
Prof. cu helwish offered to buy tmhe
plant, and, taking oult a handful of i-o
per coins, gave tlhel to the savages, who
gladly accepted the money and dlstribh
ted it among themselves. The profesnor
then returned to tihe work of digging iup
the unique plant, but had not made any
great progress when time natives again
set upIxn hinl. Throulh the interpreter
tihe professor informnle thelll that he had
legally lbught tihe plant and intended to
remove it. As soon as thil message was
aIlade' known to tie savages every one
who had repmilved a coin calne and
drpped it in time hole at the base of the
shrub. Prof. Schelwisch allowed the
coins to remain in thie hole an walked
away toward the inotain to hulnlt an
otlhr specimen.
Next day, as tie party were reparilng
to continlme the march, the pofessor was
curious to know if time coins lead Irmsained
undisturbed during tim niglht bl the super
stitlioa natives, and on appeuachingr the
metal plant was astonished to fillnd that it
had changedl its color com(pletely. In
stead of Itlng a Ibeatiful steel color, tihe
stes, leaves alld what was exposllled of
the roots Ipre.nted tihe aplilearan.ce of

In thIe mornling sunlight like lxolisetl

plant hald alorh. d nearly all the. copewr

iWhat was left of the coins in tIht hole
showed tilat theey we.re Inure thaI half
