One of the mot interesting places to visit and at the same time enjoy a refreshing walk on a pleasant ilaj is to view the life, activity and di versified mechanism of the South ern Pacific tie plant at Latham. about one and n half miles south of town. To one who has not been there it is indeed a novtlty and a vast dual of information can he gained by a look over this great 1 laut. The two immense remits ae wonders to look at and they ate kept full of ties night ami day. The lies are placed on low trin ks fol lowing each other and are run into the great cylindrical retorts by the aid of n wire cable, About four hours are tcquircd lo thorough')1 Haturate them with the preserving preparation and this is repeated with some six or seven fresh oper ations daily, each train of trucks being taken from the retoits having the cuied lies taken from them and loaded into cars for shipment east. At the lime of our visit one of the cars being loaded, belonged lo the Michigan Central and carried away fiooof these preserved ties. Superin tendent Cole, is at all times a very busy man, hut he always manages to find time to show visitors over the plant and explain the workings thereof, which is indeed of much . intetcst to the uninilmted.

BOHEMIA'S MINES, Flattering Reports From Some of the More Prominent Ones. stka n v n k nt 1,0 r m hx t axi uxoi:i.i,i:xt suo w ixa niuxa ma in:. News froth the Star Consolidated this week is very encouraging. Superintendent Jtehue has just re turned from the mine and says that the new quarters are now all in complete shape. The long cross cut tunnel is under good headway. Some fine quart, have been conic upon and the indications are that the first lead is close at hand, and the surface showings indicate that good results can now be looked for at any time. Mr. llehiie is feeling quite jubilant over the outlook. Helena No. 2 has encountered about eighteen inches of quart, that assay well, and with every foot of development the mine looks better, demonstrating that depth will im prove the future of the camp. In the lower tunnel of Helena No. 1 three feet of ore has been eu counteted that assay up in the huudicds, which is being steadily developed with double shifts and blocked out to await transportation. The rich ore streak in the upper tunnel still continues. At tho Musick No. 6 is being driven with good results and the base ore is steadily gelling better, proving beyond a doubt that the future of Ilohemia will be all that is hoped for it. There is just now about three feet of snow iu the camp but work in all of the principal mines is going right along and many pros pects are being developed. Hakiikk Wisdom. John Stonebeig has for a long time contemplated making suudrx improvements in the front of his c imbiuatioii barber shop and notion store, and realizing the deli ter.ite uk thods and calculating mind ol the average carpenter, decided thai the only way for him to get his im provements made and at the same lime get somewhere near value for his money, was to hire the work done by the hour and pick out, if possible, the coldest day of this winter, so if the ctrpenters did not warm to their work they could feel the nipping sting of the frost king. Well, John had the job done on Tuesday, and it was bitter cold, but those carpenters got down to their, work with an energy that was n joy to behold ami earned their money with a will, which proves that the barber's wisdom was well conceived. Tine Succhssi'uj, Dkama. The presentation last week by our local talent of "The Deacon," a neat little farce-comedy drama, iu aid of the free rending room, was a grand success in more ways than one. Its rendition was appre ciated and applauded by a large audience. Each participant was conspicuous for the study and foice put into the part portrayed and the financial outcome was most grati fying, inasmuch as the proceeds, after paying all the necessary ex penses, netted the neat little sum of $47 for the reading room, which money was sufficient to pay off the indebtedness of that worthy insti tution, nmounting to 30, nnd left a balance of $17 iu the hands of its treasurer. Taken all mound a great good has be.en accomplished and an evening of delight gone on record through the generous efforts of the home talent company. GLHAKANCK BALK.
