came the possessor Of an abandoned mine,
party had prospected for gold. He COM
menced at once to work his property perse-
veringly, and was not long In bringing to the
surface piece OF quartz containing. Q good
showing Of the metal. Encouraged by the
sight Of this he prosecuted his work still
more vigorously, and now has one of the best
paying mines in the Territory. During the
month Of March it yielded its owner profit
Of $4,000, and, at the present time, is averag..
ing $4,000 per day. This immense amount OF
gold has been produced by the most primitive
means The metal is found In rotten quartz,
which is dotted and spangled with it in a free
state The implements used to obtain the
gold are simply a lot Of heavy stones, with
which it Is pounded out Of the quartz. Talk
about the gold fever! Such stories as this
are calculated to produce perfect epidemic.

The New York Tribune of the twentieth

instant, says:
Special agents have been sent to this city
by Secretary Sherman to report upon the
the question of actual and invoice tare on gu
gars. They are instructed to sample fifteen
cargoes The regular tare allowed BY law is
1917 cents on hogsheads, ID cents on boxes,
and II cents on tierces. The government
now proposes to examine cargoes on which
no extra tare Is asked, and if it is found that
the government has been allowing too much
tare, an immediate change is to be made.
The law provides that the government may
tare any and all packages containing mer-
chandise. This law has been dead letter for
a long time, and it is now proposed to execute
1t. Several cargoes of sugar recently arrived
from Cuba have been placed in bond awaiting
a decision by the Treasury Department. I'M
porters express themselves in favor of fixed
and uniform system of fare.

The ST. Louis Republican, speaking of the
prospects of the wheat crop, says:
One of the earliest, If not the earliest wheat
harvests ever known in the West is likely to
take place this year-the unusually favorable
weather and absence thus far of preventing
causes having put the crop forward extraor-
dinarily. Such is the concurrent information
thus far; but evidences of the advanced state
OF the wheat occasionally exhibited eorrobo-
rate the general favorable report. Yesterday,
for instance, was exhibited on Change by
Messrs. Faith, Ewald d Co, who received it
from their st. Mary's mill, sixty miles below
here in Ste. Genevieve county, bunch of
stalks OF the new crop of that county, show
ing splendid condition and headed-out and
accompanied by the assurance that the crop
will be harvested by May 20, which will be
thirty to forty days earlier than usual the
harvest taking place usually about the first of
July. The lower. counties of this State and
those Of Southern Illinois will probably all
be as early In harvest, and with what will
come from Texas the market here for wheat
will-weather proving favorable begin to re-
ceive thus much earlier.
