LAST Monday there were ship
ped to San Francisco 10000 pounds
OF concentrations from the Silver
King mine, which have been
over thirty days on the road; the
usual time being fifteen days.
This shipment was the first one
on August account, and has been
followed by others as fast as the
roads have permitted. The Su-
perintendent has complained that
concentrations have accumulated
at the mill faster than the teams
could take it out of the way; they

CAPT. JOHN H. BELCHER, whom we
understand to be the officer ordered to
relieve Major j. H. Lord, as Quartermaster
at Yuma Depot, has been here before.
Twenty years ago, or more, he ran as
Mate with Capt. Wilcox, on the Pacific
Coast. In 1856 he brought the schooner
Monterey" from San Francisco to the
mouth of the Colorado in the remarkably
quick time of twelve and half days. At
one time he owned twelfth interest in
the Colorado Steam Navigation Company.
During the Mohave Indian war he CON-
handed a pack-train, and did good SER
vice. He is now an Army Quartermaster in
New Mexico.

Railroad Prospects.

Positive assurances are still
made, by those who are consider
ed to be in a position to know all
about it, that railroad building
will soon be resumed to the East
ward from Yuma, and be prose-
cuted with unusual vigOr. We
are compelled to confess that, to
date, there is no visible, tangible
symptom of activity around Yu-
ma. A large construction force
is now finishing some railroad
work near Williams, in the Sacra-
mento valley, of California. tits
said that force will be brought to
Yuma as soon as it gets through
its present job. The suspense is
having a damaging effect on loca.
business. Some people claim that
Yuma Will sink to the position Of
a mere neal-station. Others as
sert that its Importance will be
greatly increased, and that its
business will augment in proper
ton. Meanwhile nobody seems
to back his Judgment by going
away or by preparing to stay.

CUR Tucson mails are again
running on time. Three mails
from there arrived here last Tues
day, one of them being several
hours ahead Of schedule time.
Previous delays have been caused
by a series Of heavy storms, which
have, for weeks, made the roads
next to impossible, and by loss Of
stage-horses. During the past
month seventeen % horses have
been stolen from the stage COM
pany between here and Tucson.
The remaining horses have had
to do double duty on several
routes, and many Of them have
died from this overwork Oh

$1,000, and iron work, Including blower,S5OO
Cd. Short time required for erection, viz:
II days after providing all material, with
sufficiency of labor.
Sd. No expensive, heavy or complicated
machinery being necessary, involving
heavy freight to the district where it may
be required. Brick and clay, generally OBJ
tainable on the spot, being the chief mate
rial required in its construction.
4th. No skilled labor or technical expe-
rience is necessary to work it, two ordinary
laborers being sufficient to attend to il
when in full operation.
9Th. 1t does not easily set out of order,
and is readily repaired by an ordinary
mason or blacksmith when it does.
9th. The royalty, or license to use it. is
exceedingly moderate, removing thereby
all temptation to evade or infringe the
patent.

wood at SO per cord, the cost of roasting is

Bullion Shipments from Yuma.

The Silver King shipment of Sept. 6th
was 20,060 pounds of concentrated ore
from that mine, and its value is given as
per proceeds of its sale at San Francisco;
the shipment made yesterday was of about
$4,000 pounds, which we have estimated
at that many dollars-not much more than
half of what it will probably realize in
cash.

Making Garden.

The time for making the vegetable garden is
very Hearty at hand If not already done, the
spot chosen should be treated to a liberal coat
ing of wsll'rotted manure. lift can be hauled
aud spread on frozen surface, all the better.
We are continually reminded that vast guam
tity of worthless seed is annually sold to the
farmers and gardeners by the "honest" seeds
man. We cannot assert positively shat they do
NIX old seed with new, but the fact forces itself
upon our observation that but few, comparative
ly, of the seed consigned to Mother Earth ever
comes forth to gladden. the heart of the hus-
bandman.- 1t is, therefore, necessary prepara-
tion, before sowing the seed, to test its quality.
This may be done in the following simple man
ner: Take an ordinary dinner plate, and Law a
circular piece of fine flannel, just large enough
to cover the lower part, upon IL. Place the
plate on table before window on the sunny side
of the house. The whole mass of seed to be
tested should be thoroughly mixed by hand, so
that fair sample can be taken from it by o
small spoon. The seeds so taken should be care
fully counted, but without selection for quality,
and number, say 200 seeds, then be spread on
the piece of flannel before uamed; after which
little cold water may be gently poured over the
flannel till it is saturated but NOT quite covered.
In this way it is allowed to stand fora few days
exposed to the influence of light and air, when
the swollen seeds will have terminated, aud
thrown mp long and slender white shoots of half
an inch or more in height. All that is then nec-
essary is simply to count the number of dead
seeds that lie exposed GU the flannel in the same
condition in which they were placed there, aud
hence the precise percentage of live and dead
seeds may be accurately ascertsined.-Chicdgo

Tomato seeds should be started in boxes in
February. Have fruit cans divided half way
between the ends, and make holes through the
end pieces, or cut them out altogether; fill these
with mold, and when the plants have the third
leaf, transplant to the cans. Continue trans
planting, which may be done by exchanging the
plants from one eau to another. Transplanting
strengthens the plants. As early as is safe, ac-
custom them to outdoor air by raising window +,
or setting them out of doors through the warm :
est part of the day. Never fail to put them on
doors during warm rains. As soon as there is
of no danger of frost, transplant to the
garden. Plants raised in this way are far more
prolific than hot-bed plants, though few of the
latter are desirable for early bearing. We have
been best suited with the Trophy.
Pea seed should be the first put in the ground.
As soon as q hole can be dug deep enough to put
in the seed, have them planted. The ground
should be prepared in the fall. The best crop of
peas we ever had was put in during thaw in
February. They came up, and the rain fell, frost
came, and snow covered them, but still they
flourished. They bore early, and for . longer
time than any vines we ever had. The ground
had not been prepared in the fall, 80 that great
deal of work was necessary through the spring
to prevent the soil baking. Sow both early and
late varieties at the same time. About the early
varieties there are divers opinions, bat for late
ones nothing eau excel the English Marrowfat.
This year we intend to try fall sowing.
Lettuce, radish, spinach and pepper grass, also
as sooR as the ground can be raked deep enough
to cover the seeds
For starting melons and cucumbers indoors
the best pots are small pieces of sod, turned
grass-side down, and placed upon board. When
the season is warm enough, set out in the gard
en-, having rich, loamy soil covering all but the
leaves of the plants.
Caulifiower plants can generally be bought
better than they can be raised, unless person
has abundance of time and garden room. Set
| out summer cabbages in May or June, according
as the season is cold or warm winter cabbages
and caulifowers in june or July. Transplant
during wet weather, if possible; fill each hole
with water before settling the plants, and shade
for few days.
Potato patches in late years, have not been
held in good repute in small gardens, on account
| of the potato bug but we have found our potato
patch as profitable and convenient as any part
| of the garden. OF course, the bugs come, but
the city bugs are no worse than their country
cousins, and both yield alike to the influence Of
Paris greer. Plant as early as possible in April
| in loose, sandy soil. We have tried several
varieties, but, all things considered, for early
potato, We prefer the Early Rose.-Raral Neu

ssBy and BY"

Somewhere down the stream of Time on which
we are floating, lie beautiful island, called the
"By and By" 1t may be just before us, beyond
the next turn of the river, or We may not find it

to old age, and dream that all evil will BIS ban
shed when we arrive at that beautiful island
By and By.
All day we float down the turbulent st ream !;
the blue color of heaven burns above us; the
mysteries of God and Immortality stream in up
on us with their awful splendors, and truths
that have COMPOUNDED the loftiest intellects-
truths that in all ages have reused mp the soul
from its foundations, baptised it with reverence,
kindled it with lOve-envirOns us with their In
tensity, and all the thoughts Of the island are
banished from the mind. But when the solemn
gray of twilight falls around our bark, in fancy
we see its magical shores, green with the trees
of beauty, fitting before us like stars over the
broad shadows Of years, and our lOngings all re-
turn to wander ON its fairy banks, and listen to
the silver voices Of its inhabitants. And as the
rosy flush of day fades 10 the vest, and the
watching stars open ono after another, their
holy eyes, we 60 to rest in the happy belief that
the morning sunrise will gild this immortal

A land of promise Is that By and by. In it We

There the broken heart shall be healed and the

Who would sell his birthright in this land
Though poverty, gloom, and desolation environ
us here, we have wealth and loving friends in
that fair cline.
How eagerly we look for that island! If it
were laid down on any chart, no matter how
distant, so that we knew that it would surely
come we should be satisfied in the prospect.
But no Ariande comes to reveal its labyrinthine
Secrets and We must rest content In its antici

WHITE CLOVER IN THE PAsruRE.-Every past
ure should contain some white clover. 1t will
afford more feed at certain times of the year
than any kind of grass or clover. 1t will not
flourish on damp soils those that are very poor.
1t will do very well in partial shade, as grove
or orchard, but to make the highest excellence
it should be sowu where it will have the advant-
age Of full sunlight. 1t is easy to secure patches
Of white clover in pasture by scattering seed
in early spring on bare places and brushing it
in. One pound of seed is sufficient to start white
clover ina hundred..places in pasture. The dis
