GOVERNOR SAFFoRD's ADDREss-We, to- day, reproduce the address delivered in this place, short time ago, by the Governor of the Territory, having been requested to do so by many of our patrons, who wish to send copies to their friends in California and the East. When it first appeared, the demand for copies of our paper containing it was so great that many persons bad 10 go away from the office without procuring T copy. Those persons can now procure all the copies they want, either at the MINER office or at the postoffice. It is an excellent document to send abroad, ard we hope all will see the m- portance of circulating it.

THE ALnss BusH. ---Faiua5le Him.--It
is NOT known 70 many persons that the com
mon alder bash Of the country Is a great
safeguard 70 plants against the devastation
Of bass 10 tried, It win be found that
worms, Tics, bugs orinsects never touch the
alder This fact was the initial point for
experiments Of an Englishmau in 1894, and
he communicated the result toa London
magazine Accidentexhumed this old work.
The practical results Of the experiments $, as
asserted BY thsEnslish experimental, are
that the leaves Of the alder scattered over
cahbages, sqnashes, cuesmbers, and other
plais subject 70 the ravages of insects, ef.
fectually shield them. The plum and other
fruits subject to the ravages Of insects, may
be saved by placing on the branches and
