Gentlemen: We examined to-day 81
field Of cotton on the place Of J. NJ.
Crawford, of this city, on which he had
experimental with various fertilizers,
and without hesitation pronounce the
acre on which Etiwap, No. 2, had been
used, to be the best acre Of cotton we
have ever seen. Mr.. Crawford in formed
us that he had already gathered about
5000 pounds from It,, and 1t was
bis and our opinion that he would
gather fromsl 200 tu 500 pounds more.
The land did not appear to US to be supe-
rior cotton land, being low and damp,
but had beer highly cultivated. The
plant where the Euwan, No. 2, had
been used, was free from rust, green,
and full of fruit, whilst that where the
Wando and Carolina hadTbeen used, was
in places badly rusted, and the stalks
dead, The yield being much less than
that where the: EtiWan, No. 2, had BEEN

Diving for Amber.

The labor required is of the severest
kind. The "strong- boned, iracund
peasants, described by Carlyle, the
descendants of the ancient Cures and
Szamates, men ofnn of reckless and
perchance. on the border land of ancient
Poland. who have pursued their call
ing with the Cossack bullets whizzing
round their heads-these are fit ma
terial for the recruits whom the diving
adventure of the amber reef al Brute
rort enlists in its service. The costume
OF the diver is as follows: 4 wooden
garment covers the entire body. This
is again encompassed by an India-rub-
Der dress, made in one piece, but diff
fering III shape from the old-fashioned
diving dress, and allowing the diver to
lie at full length. The helmet also. is
Of novel construction Firmly fast
ened to it, and resting on the shoulders.
is small air-chest, made of sheet
iron. This chest is connected with the
air-pump in the boat above by
an lndia-rubber tubing, forty
feet long, and with the divers lungs
by another India-rubber tube, the
mouth piece OF which is held by the
diver between his teeth the whole APP
paratus being scientifically arranged so
as to admit sufficient supply of pure
air from above, and means of exit for
the expired breath. The helmet is
provided with three openings, covered
with glass, and protected by wire for
the use of the eyes and mouth. When
this contrivance has been screwed on
to the person of the diver, a rope tied
round his waist, and half hundred of
lead attached to his feet, shoulders and
helmet, he is ready for bis plunge
Down, fathoms deep, he descends into

be for five hours at time, hooking,

these men OF iron strength will come up
from their submarine laboIs stream
ing with Precipitation. The oyerseer
stands IN the boat to receive the am
Der from their pockets In case he
should wish to ascend before the usual
time, the diver has to close his mouth
and breathe five or six times through
his nostrils, by this means filing the
apparatus with air, which will bring
him to the surface without other as
sistance. The diving boats are manned
by eight men each-two divers, two
pairs of men who work the air-pumps
alternately, with their eyes fixed on a
dial-plate, by which the supply of air
is nicely regulated, one man to hold
the safety-rope attached round the
divers body. and haul him mp at the
slightest sign from below, and the
overseer. Accidents are said to be
very rare but as an instance of the
daring character of the men employed,
it Is related that plot was detected
not long ago among some of them for
a nocturnal descent to spot they had
carefully marked, in order there to coll
lect rich treasure on their own account
unknown to their employers - 81.

Advice to Young Men.

President Porter, of Yale, gave the
following advice to the students of that
institution the other day: Young
men, you are the architects of your
own fortunes. Rely upon your own
strength of body and soul. Take for
your star, self-reliance, faith, honesty
and industry. Inscribe on your ban
ner, Luck is n fool pluck is hero
Don't take too much advice-keep at
your helm and steer your own ship,
and remember that the great art Of
commanding, is to take a fair share of
the work. Don't practice too much
humanity. Think well OF yourself.
Strike out. Assume your own position.
Put potatoes IN a cart, over rough
road, and small ones go to the bottom.
Rise above the enyious ana jealous.
Fire above the mark you intend to hit
Energy, invincible determination with
a right motive, are the levers that move
the world. Don't drink. Don't chew.
Don't smoke Don't swear. Don't
deceive. Don't read novels. Don't
marry until you can support a wife.
Be in earnest. Be self-reliant Be
generous. Be civil. Read the papers.
Advertise your business. Make money,
and do good with it. Love your God
and fellowmen. Love truth and vir-
tue. Love your country and obey its
laws. If this advice is implicitly fol-
lowed by the young men of the coun-
try, the millennium is near at hand.

Of this nomadic race is one Joseph

Of the whole Gypsie tribe is rather I'M

n UTAH MINES.

AS quite a number Of people from
this section are either already gone or
contemplate going to the mines Of the
Salt Lake country, we compile from
the White Pine Ne,os the following
relative to those mines:
The future success of Utah depends
mainly upon the development Of the
mines. The mines consist mostly OF
base metals-chiefly lead, carrying sill
yer and gold-though valuable discov-
cries have been made Of chlorides and
horn silver Of great richness, ranging
from $500 to $50, 900 per ton. The Sill
veropolis mine, situated in East Can
yon, and owned by Walker Brothers
and others, assays $4,000 per ton.
Shipments of ore have been made from
this mine Of several car loads, which
averaged a net return Of 5000 per car
load Of ten tons. Ore has been taken
from the Shamrock mine, in East Can
yon, that assayed as high as $1,000 per
ton. Shipments have been made from
this mine which have given returns Of
from $500 to $1,000 per ton.
The Mountain Lake District, Of
which Little Cottonwood forms the
chief feature, lies southeast Of Salt
City, n distance of twenty-five miles
from the terminus Of the Utah Central
railroad. The Emma mine at present
Is shipping 100 tons per day, that yields
4 net profit Of 5000 per ton. 1t Is situ-
ated in Little Cottonwood. Big Cot
tonwood and American Fork yield ore
in some cases far richer than that Of
the Emma, though in quantity the
Emma has no equal in Utah, and I
doubt whether it has its equal in any
country. -.
West Mountain District, Of which
Bingham canyon forms the chief fea-
ture, Is situated about twenty-five
miles southwest Of Salt Lake City, on
the eastern slope Of the Oquuh noun
tains. Bingham canyon has been
noted for several years, rs the only
locality in Utah where gold mining
has prospered. Over $500, 900 worth
of gold dust has been sold to the banks
of this city from Bingham canyon in
the last two years.
