GOLD! GOLD!!

General CUstaT's Report of the BIae K
Hills Endorsed by Professor Jennings
Miners Taking Out from Five to TNven-
ty-five Dollars to the Pan-A Detailed
Account of the Discoveries
The special correspondent of the
Inter Ocean with the scientific expedi-
tion in the Black Hills, at Camp Harvey,
on French creek, Clusters Gulch, under
date of June Is, sends the following
telegram via Fort Laramie to-day:
Gold in large quantities and of good
quality has been discovered IN Clusters
Gulch, on French creek, and along this
stream for a distance of upward of
seven miles toward the source. Since
my latest advices sent to you from the
expedition, the plans of the scientific
corps have been entirely changed, and
Camp Denny, on East Fork OF Beaver
creek, has ceased to be the permanent
point from which the investigation
radiates. We were to have been
through the Hills Tuesday, June 8, but
were delayed. Col. Dodge, with three
cavalry companies as a military escort,
left Camp Jennings for the purpose of
locating a permanent camp In some
available place in the vicinity of
Harney's Peak. The command marched
almost due north along Beaver creek !;
then northeast, when, at the end of
twenty-eight days the march OF Clusters
trail was struck in the midst of snow
and rain. That officers line of march
was pursued in a southeast direction
along Castle creek, where the first in
dicatiOns of gold were discovered. This
event induced Prof. jennings, of the
scientific corps, TO remain in Castle
creek valley for three days, IN order to
aOTooV1onu haino of
with them. The place at which the
geOlogists camped is located !, 400 feet
east of the 104th meridian, and was
named Camp Tuttle. With the remain
der of the command Col. Dodge pro-
ceeded IN a sOutheasterly direction
until Clusters Park was reached, and
last Monday camp was reached on
Clusters Gulch and in close cOntiguity to
the stOckade built by the miners whom
Capt. Mix brought out of the Hills.
At the spring, on Gen. Clusters cavalry
camp ground, gold of a good color was
speedily panned out. This was done in
the presence of your correspondent.
The gold fever spread so rapidly that
there was hardly one in the command
who had not seen and panned out gold.
From those placeTs or guIch mines.
about Camp Harney for a distance of
seven miles there are scattered along
French creek four different mining
parties, numbering twenty-five men,
that have taken up claims from all of
which good color has been obtained.
There are also several quartz lOdes
which promise rich returns, but the
greatest stress should be placed on the
gulch gold diggings.
When gold was discovered the scien-
fists were at Camp TuttIe, and only
arrived here yesterday evening. They
were somewhat astOnished at the dis
covery. 1t is intended to make this a
permanent camp, where the command
will remain until the return of the sup
ply train from Fort Laramie.

Immense Shipments Befn Made to the
West.
Savannah Advertiser, June 21.
As is we'll known all throughout Flor
ida and Georgia, the crop of melons in
the former state will be unprecedentedly
large, and to dispose of them profitabIy
has been a matter of serious concern in
the eyes of all the growers, and caused
them cOnsid erable anxiety. SUperin-
tendent Haines, of the Atlantic and Gulf
railroad, while down In Florida about
ten days ago, saw this difficulty, and
Immediately set to work to remedy it.
He wrote to parties in several of the
western cities, Offering to place water
melons In those markets by express
trains, fresh and good. The idea was
Immediately taken up, several merchants
agreeing to dispose of twenty car loads
(twenty tbousand) of melons per week.
Mr.. Haines Immediately notified the
FIoridians of the prospect, and they
assert that they can furnish two hun
dred car loads (twO hundred thOusand)
of melons between now and the 5th of
July.
The cars of the Gulf road not being
adapted to some of the western tracks,
the Green Line cars can alone be used,
and he has written on all sides for them.
These cars are to be partially open so
as to allow the air to pass through, and
will have painted in large letters on
their sides, "Fruit Cars A. and G..
R. R."
The first train of seven cars left Live
Oak yesterday, and goes directly to
Chicago. A second of fourteen cars has
gone down to lOadj and will leave Tues
day morning, and as many cars as can
be had will be laden with this fruit, and
be forwarded
On the 28th of this month amammoth
train of melons will be dispatched,
which will alsO take with it a delegation
of the Florida fruit growers to Chicago,
who go for the purpose of looking
around, and making this a permanent
business. If they can ship melons to
advantage, it is thought that other pro-
ducts raised by them, forwarded in this
direction, will pay, and their effort will
be to place matters on a permanent
basis. The melon trade, by taking this
outlet, VIII lee very profitable to the
growers, and if facilities are offered
there is no knowing to what extent it
will grow

Oats, Peas and Cotton, in Rotation.

OdGSI I SdS anu COGVOur III LSOGdSAOA'
For the several years that have now
been planting oats (the red rust proof
on an extensive scale, I have found that
il is a we'll paying crop and from the
experience and observation which I
have made, find the following a good
rotation:
First, cotton second, oats third,
oats, ana fourth, oats, to be followed
by cotton again. have a four field ro-
tatiOn, because my lands lie naturally
in four divisions also, the longer the
period before the main crop (cOttOn)
returns to the same field the better I;
and, lastly, l consider one fourth of the
arabic land IN cotton as sufficient, a
preventive of an Oversupply.
The cotton is manured with all the
manure which is made by the stock on
the farm. compost this with the cot
ton seed, adding as much acid phOs-
phate as necessary to furnish the suffi-
cient quantity of phOsphOric acid. Tue
oats following cotton is not manured.
I plant some of it at last plOughing of
cotton. AssoOn as the oats is taken from
the field, 7 replRnt II peas, manuring
these with two hundred pounds acid
| phosphate. The peas commence bear
| ing by the middle Of September, and
are turned under for oats. Every sue
ceeding crop of oats Is treated in the
same way. In the one followed by cot
| ton, the latter gets the benefit of the
peas. The phosphate furnishes the
/ suitable nourishment for the peas, and
| the turned under pea-vines furnish the
best manure for the oats. By this pro-
cess, land which will make ten bushels
of corn, with fifteen bushels cotton seed,
will make twenty five bushels oats, with
the same outlay of maLure, but much
less labor. The fodder of the cOTr
don't pay much above cost of pulling
the same.

AN EARTHQUAKE AT SEA.
Experience of the Captain and crew of
the ship HamiItOnI

FtpeTienCe OF the Captain and crew OF
the ship Hamilton
The ship Hamilton, of Boston, arrived
at New York last week from Manila.
Her commander, Capt. Ross, states that
at a. m. on June 4, when IN latitude
10 deg, 1G min, longitude 81 deg, 81
min., all on board felt the shock of an
earthquake, which lasted fully 10 min
utes. During this time there was a
heavy sea running, and IN different
places the watt r appeared TO reVOIVe IN
circles like a whirlpool. When the dis
turbance first began the sea was quite
smooth, but as the shock increased IN
violence the waters became correspond
ingly agttated, terrif ing those who were
on deck and arousing those who we're
sleeping below. Suddenly the vessel
received a shock, as if she had grounded,
and a peculiar rUmblng noise hlled the
air. simultaneously with the shaking,
the sky assumed dark, leaden hue:

shock. control of the vessel was COM
pletely lost, and the ship refused to
obey the helm. There was little, if any,
wind at the time, yet the vessel was
tossed about as though IN the midst OF
a gale.
The captain describes the upheaving
of the waves as similar to what would
occur if a series of heavy submarine
explosions had taken place. The dura-
ton of the shock was long enough tC
enable those who we're below to reach
the deck and witness the unusual sight.
After the disturbance had sUbslded, the
sea again became as calm as before
