The Patrons of Ponds Extract

The Patrons of Ponds Extract
are cautioned against the uncer-
tain, strengthless decoctions of
fered to the public as being equal
to this far famed, old established
remedy.
DO not be deceived by similarity
OF edor and appearance. These
mutations cannot an any instance
be compared with Ponds EX-
tract
AIRS great Curative is always of q
steady and uniform character.
-- The extensive facilities for the
5 manufacture of Ponds Ex.
tract enables the Company TO
guarantee this, while the imitator
does not produce the same result
ls es- twice in succession
The true secret of the manufac-
ture of Ponds Extract is
e too well guarded and too wisely
transmitted to escape.
Other unsCrupulOuS trades
men, desirous of making larger
profit, are in the habit of stating
to their customers who ask for
-r. Ponds Extract, that they
do not keep it in bottles. but have
it in bulk
This Company is most sOlIci.
At tous to protect their patrons from
this dishon orable trick resorted
to for the purpose of palming off
on the public a cheap dec oction
that can not in any way compare
in purity and quality with this
old established remedy.
Some of eur friends are in the
habit of taking old Ponds

refill q bottle with genuine
Ponds Extract except by
emptying another bottle.

will feel indebted 10 any one who
furnishes them with the name CT
any dealer who attempts 10 sell
them any article in bulk as

CHRISTOPHER lNVASIONS.-The possibility OF

Tor the Mediterranean and its shores is dis
cussed by Hellmann, who shows that pro baby

possibility of predicting the invasiOns of grass

In the spring with southwest winds, are carried
over Algeria and Egypt, and do more damage
than the severest storms. A similar duty has
been frequently urged by DIR. Packard and
others upon our Signal Service; and i'm this
connection it may be well to call attention to
a theoretical explanation of the grasshOpper
mlgratlons which has lately been proposed by
Abbe, and which is sa i'd to explain most of the
phenomena that have been observed. Accord
Ing TO this meteorOlOgist, the grasShopper is an
insect at home and comfortable only in a

Silver Mining in Massachusetts.

Several years since, il will be remembered
the NeWburypOrters were in frenzy of spec
ulallve excitement over the discovery of the
Precious metals in their vicinity Fabulous
stones OF the wealth Of the ore deposits were
circulated. and the promise was that right at
nome were bonanZaS to rival those of aurifer-
Gus Nevada. Time has modified these eXtrav-
agant estimates, but has demonstrated that
gold and Silver in tOleraby paying Quantities
do exist amidst the eastern Massachusetts
locks. An interesting survey of the mining
operations III this district thus far is contained
in recent number of the Scientific Amerf-
can. The metal bearing veins extend over an
hardly a, farmer in all this territory but has
dug up hne specimens of ore upon his lands
thereby enhancing them in his eyes to a value
lar beyond their agricultural worth The
trouble Is that capital has been too timid to
set up the costly machinery necessary to thor
Oughly test the capacity of the ore deposits.
and mining has been restricted to little more
than surface prospecting. 1t is believed, how
ever. that a mill with capacity for reducing
two hundred tons of ore day. the amount
estimated est nj d to be taken from the principal
GUS owners simply pile their ore in heaps.
and spend all the money they can raise in rid
ding their mines of water. The Merrlmac
milne is the one which has thus far been the
most extensively worked and shows the largest
yield. During the past five years it has paid II
dlvlaends amounting to about $4,000. lis
shaft IS 2OO feet deep, and streak of galena IS
now being mined which yields $40 to the ton.

Yesterday we had all sorts of ru.
mors In regard to the mission of the
Hassler, none of which could be
traced TO reliable authority for
fact. One rumor was that the ves-
sci was ordered here to make a new
survey of the harbor, and that the
figures as to the depth of water in
the channel should be telegraph led
to Washington at once, and that
the blanks for the survey were in
the postofiice. Another story on
the street was that interested par
ties at Washington had reported
that tidal wave had destroyed the
bay, and the facts were or would be
considered in connection with the
railroad bill, etc., etc.,

An immense area is being sown
to grain in this valley. d. II. Col.
Inns has two hundred acres of
wheat sown already on the mesa
and intends sowing one hundred
more. Besides, I've will have in
about the same number of acres OF
barley.
A farmer in Garden Grove the
past season cut three tons of barley
hay per acre from piece of land
that had been volunteered the
third year, and after cutting the
hay, he plowed up the land, plant
ed it to corn and harvested sixty
five bushels per acre. No irriga-
ton. The same man ralssd a
squash that weighed 230 pounds,
and neighbor raised beet that
weighed 239 pounds. Come to the
center!
We have seen specimens of silver
ore taken from the newly discov-
cred mine in the Santiago Cation,
about thirty miles from Santa Ana.
The specimens were taken from the
surface of the ground and assay
from 500 to $3.50 per ton, and APP
pear to be very rich. The lode is
said to be extensive. There are
several tons Of this ore in sight.
Work is being pushed ahead in
these mines and there is not a
doubt but that the supply of rich
mineral is inexhaustible.
Work on the Black Star coal
mine is being pushed along with
vigor. The main tunnel is now in
about 225 feet, and the quality of
coal seems to grow better. The
vein Is now about three feet wide
and grows wider the deeper it goes.
A shaft is also being sunk aud the
prospects get better as the work
progresses. w. H. Spurgeon is
using the coal from this mine in
the engine at his artesian well,
and it gives complete satisfaction.
A large lot of the coal is being got
out for shipment.
