Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from
practice, having had placed in his
hands by an East India missionary
the formula Of simple vegetable
remedy for the speedy and perman-
ent cure for Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and
Lung Affections, also positive and
radical cure for Nervous Debility
and all Nervous Complaints, after
having tested its wonderful curative
powers in thousands of cases, has felt
it his duty to make it known to his
suffering fellows. Actuated by this
motive and desire to relieve human
suffering, will send free of charge
to all who desire it, this recipe, with
full direction for preparing and using,

A Chance fer Fig Growers.

In ali parts Of the State, the Fig
flourshes to perfection and the only
reason that its cultivation has not
been more extended, is, that people
were not inclined to cultivate more
than they could consume or sell.
Drying machines are now so pien-
titnl and cheap, that there is no OBJ
stacle in the way Of preparing Them
for market, but our fruit growers
must be sure to grow those kinds
that are best adapted for the purpose.
What those kinds are, can he known
by referring to the catalogue OF the
nrrserymen who keep them for sale
The best time of the year for setting
ont fcs is now at hand, and the toll
lowing letter that we have lately re-
ce;ved, may serve as Il stimulant to
this industry.
Editor F1ogidN AW'icult'uiSf:
We use in our factory large quanti-
ties of figs, and as Florida figs are OF
very superior quality, We take the
liberty to enquire, if there is not a
commission house in Jacksonville,
which handles figs and from whom
we could buy directly. We con
sumo yearly $4,000 to 100000 pounds
and tuy in lots Of 5000 to 10000
pounds. We use now mostly Smyr-
ma figs, but would prefer to keep the
money in orr own country, and to
assist with it, the agricultural inter-
ests Of your State. Hoping to re-
ceive an early answer we remain YER!

Planting Trees in Autumn.

Spring is the time when planting
seems most natural, and it is therefore
the time when this work is mostly
done. Yet most farmers are less
hurried in the fall, and can do the
work better and at less cost. If well
done, as good results, OF rather bet.
ter. can be had from tall planting
The time should be early enough to
have the roots fimly fixed i'll the soil
before winter sets in. DO not water
the roots; you do not wish to start
the trees into growth. Have the dry
soil made as fine as possible, and
closely in and around the roots, and
the soil will have all the moisture 1t
needs. Then, pile up the earth in
little mound around the trees. aud
they are ready for winter. What
remains of this mound, should be
hoed down in the spring. Every
Leaf must be picked off, and by doing
this it is safe to plant by the first Of
October, or even earlier, if desired.
The chief cause of failure in fall plant
inc, is, from having the work poorly
done, and leaving the trees in a hol-
low for water to settle around the
roots all winter. This is hard usage
even for trees firmly established.
While the tree is not growing, its
roots are dormant. Any excess OF
wet tends to rot them, and With new
Iy transplanted trees there is not Wig
or and vitality enough to resist this
tendancy. Hence, if the land you
intend to plant on, is cold and wet,
it IS advisable to defer planting till
spring, so as to give the trees chance
to grow one season, before standing
with wet feet during the six months
when they have least vitality to resist
disease. The better way, however,
Oh such land is to defer planting I'M
tilthe soil is thoroughly underdrained.
In other words. where land is too wet
for fall plantinlg, it is unfit for plaat;
fall planting on such land, the trees
die the first winter. If planted in
spring, they delude their owner with
one seasons growth, only to disap-
point him more grievously by dying
or becoming SO stunted and puny, as
to be worth less than nothing.-W

An Important Land Office Ruling.

EDITORS PREss:-In March last, letter
was Gent from this place to the Commits
sioner of the Land Office in Washington,
suggesting the desirability of an official
ruling" in regard to the actual time
when mining claim is forfeited if the
work required under the act of Congress
of May 10, 1872, is not performed.
The special case to which The letter re-
ferred was of this nature: A locator had
taken up a claim here on February 81, 1877,
and until noon of February 26, 1878, had
not worked upon it. At that hour two
men came on the ground and represented
that they had arranged with the locator to
do his assessment work for the preceding
year. A few minutes before the advent of
these men, prospector had relocated the
lode in the belief that 1t was vacant, but
the new corners warned him off, and, com
mencing work alleged that their resuming
possession before the year expired, made
the title of the original locator as if his
work had been fully completed. Here is
the Commissioners answer, the italics re-
presenting words which were UNDERSIGNED
In the original:
WASHINGTON, D. c., April II, 1878.
Referring to your letter of the DIST ult.,
! have to state that mining claim must
be located in accordance with the local
laws and Congressional enactments, and
the amount OF expenditure required by
local laws must be actually made upon the
claim to entitle the party claiming the
same to hold it. The Congressional enact
nfent requires that not less than the
amount therein specified must be placed
upon the claim annually. 1t is only where
parties comply with the local lars and the
Congressional endctn1entS that they can
legally claim mining land.
Very respectfully your Obedient servant,
j. A. WILLIAMSON, Commissioner.
The above is a very important decision
and proves conclusively that a person who
has failed to do his assessment work, does
not in reality "resume possession" of a lode
by simply walking mile or two and set
ting his foot on the outcrop few hours be-
fore the year expires. He has lost posses
sion by allowing himself insufficient time
to complete work in accordance with the
law. If, while there is default as to labor
and the land Is necessarily vacant, relo-
Gator enters into possession, he will hold
it unless the former claimant renews his
title by the requisite expenditure before
the year Is finished. This decision will
make it an unsafe thing in the future for a
locator to sit down and do nothing in the
expectation that at the end Of the assess
ment year he can get brother or friend
TO relocate a claim for him which he has
previously held and so control il for ano,
Their year by merely paying the recording
fees. Some one may slip in before him
and derange his well-laid plans. If the
law could be successfully evaded from year
to year in the manner Indicated, it would
be an easy matter for an active, sharp fell
low to hold the mines of an entire district
at a nominal cost in meney.-Mining &.

Few changes have occurred at Aubrey,
since its abandonment was caused by the
break of the copper market in 1865. Piles
of copper-ore and Stag, and fragments of
smelling furnaces, are all that remain of
its former prosperity. The presiding gen
JUS of the new era of development, upon
which Aubrey is now entering, is Tom
Halleck. He has postoffice, store, saloon,
and hotel, all under one roof: he has spa
cious warehouse and receives and forwards
all goods consigned to his care. One other
building aids in sustaining the dignity of
Aubrey City. 1t is an old ships cabin,
shaded by roofs and sheds of willow-bran-
ches; sea-weed and kelp would have ap-
peared more appropriate. This tooral-

Lead.

The London Mining World is OF the
opinion that the price of lead has reached
its lowest point, and that the tendency will
be upward in the future. To support its
theory, the World reviews the unsettled
condition of business during the last three
or four years in England and America. and
claims that the mines of Spain and Ger
many cannot be worked at profit at the
present price of the metal, and that the
home consumption in this country will
absorb the whole of our product We Ger
tainly hope the predictions Of the World
may prove true, as the present price of
lead is a serious impeachment to the sue
cessful operation CT our low grade mines,
and an advance in the price would have a
tendency to promote production, and have
healthy influence on our mining indus
