The speculative mania in mining stocks
In California has received a check, Influenced in
some measure by the extraordinary charges
banded between JONES and SHARON, the candi-
dates for JIM NYE's place IN the United States
Senate, which have already been noticed In these
columns, both being heavily interested In Ne
vada shares, and the enmity excited between
these individuals and the friends Of the two.
II is said that one party represents the bull and
the other the bear interest In this struggle. On
Wednesday, the 18th inst, there was a general
panic In the share market In San Francisco
within the three days ending on that date
many descriptions Of stock had deprecated
from twenty-five To atty per cent. the fall in
volNing the ruin Of hundreds Of speculators
hut II Is doubtful II this will be sufficient to
bring the stock gamblers to their senses, as we
observe that no less than four new mining COM
pauies, with nominal capital aggregatnR $l5,-
cocoon were Incorporated on the very day that
was marked with such disaster to shareholders.
This speculative fever owes its origin to new
developments Of exceedingly rich ore at very
low level In the Comstock lode and a. the shares
In the Cumstock mines at once advanced greatly
in price, the shares I'm other mines, many Of
which are probably absolutely worthless fol-
lowed In the rise. Whether the events of the
18th will result in anything more than tempo

We again present to the agricultural commu-
nifty our Fertilizers with renewed confidence, rs
equal, if not superior, to any manure offered for
all crops, not excepting Peruvian Guano. Year
by year their value has become more manifest,
rs demonstrated by largely increased sales, and
we challenge any brand to show more satistac-
tory and uniform results. Confning our manu-
facture to materials of highest standard, as
proved by analysis, we claim like results in all
time. On the Wheat crop the testimony is OF
unquestionable character. We respectfully call
attention to our popular Guano, known rs
GENUINE PHOSPHO-PERUVIAN
GUANO,
made of the highest standard of Peruvian Guano
and Bone Phosphate of Lime with Alkaline
Salts of Potash, Soda, &C.

Containing to per cent Amminia.

Potash, Soda, Sc.
Beautifully prepared and adapted to the Drill,
in sacks of | to the ton, of 1000 pounds,
and sold at $50 per ton-former-
ly SO per ton.
The character Of this Guano is SO well known
rs to need but little further commeHdation from
US. Used FIR many years, it has become a favor
itc with all consumers, and it only requires q
trial to convince all of its value The Ammonia
and Bone Phosphate being in rational proper
tions it can hardly fail to render satisfaction,
improving the quality and increasing the crop
it adds one other most important essential in the
permanent improvement of the land-in this
particular we question whether it has its equal.
It acts wonderfully upon the grass crop, and to
such an extent as TO bring Impoverished lands
up to high state of fertlity-equaling Bone
Dust Such is the testimony of many accom-
plished planters. We beg the closest investiga-
tion as to the integrity and manufacture of our
compounds, and earnestly invite all consumers
to inspect our works. material used and mode OF
manufacture.

Capital SI,O0O,OOO.

The use of this Guano since its introduction,
in 1864, and the annual increase of its consump-
ton from Il few hundred tons the first year of It's
use, to many thousands of tons, is the best at
testation to lis value as an efficient agent for the
increase of the products of agricultural labor, as
well as to the integrity of its production.
The large capital invested by this Company in
this business, and its unusa facilities, enables it
to furnish fertilizer of the highest excellence
ut the lowest cost to consumers.
1t is the policy of the Company to furnish the
best fertilizer at the lowest price, and look to
large sales and small profit for reasonable re-
turns on capital employed.
This Guuno is sold by Agents of the Company
in all the markets of the Middle, Southern and
Gulf States. Price $50 per ton of 1000 lbs.

THE Philadelphia North american vouches
for the story that leading Republicans in Wash
ington held a consultation about the harmonic
ing of the party. One of the questions most
troublesome was as to what could be done to
satisfy Horace Greeley, who has always been
troublesome with his opportunities for Office.
1t was finally agreed that he should have the
second place on the ticket, Mr.. Colfax retiring
for that purpose. Mr.. Greeley agreed to this
and it was supposed that the whole thing was
arranged. But Mr.. Greeley went on his South
ern tour, where he was fiattered and caressed
to such an extent as to overthrow his judgment
that he at once expressed himself the man for
the first place on the ticket. Assured that he
could not secure the Republican nomination
the Presidency seeker set himself to intrigue
for the coalition nomination Such is the story
as so we tell it. 'H'. tu .l A.
