Curing Beef Without Salt.

Our system of sailing meat makes
it unhealthy and distasteful Why
do we salt homes? Were they ex.
tracted, one third the salt would suf.
fee, the meat so cured would lose
little of its nutriment, besides gain
ing in value. Two-thirds of the
smoking might be dispensed with,
and one cause of indigestibility great
| ly lcssened. Modern mechanical skill
can surely contrive a tool to disbone
ham, and let the salt have equal ae-
cess inside and outside, The thick
skin might be removed with equal
benefit. Custom may claim the shape
of the ham as important, but this OBJ
lection would give way before the
great superiority of the meat. Farm
ers would find profit in it for their
own household. A boned turkey is
always attractive. When raised fa
from market, turkey boned and
slightly salted and smoked would
find ready sale at remunerative prices,
The Mexicans cure beef without salt.
The first opperation is TO unbone it.
Then it is cut into narrow strips and
exposed to the sun till superficial
crust is formed to exclude the air. A
slight smoking keeps insects away
1t is usually kept in sacks in a dry
place, and time does not injure it. It
is now suggested that great improve
mcnts can be made in curing all meats
without salt, by some adoption of the
Alden fruit dryer. We have seen
beef and mutton shredded into broad
ribbands, two inches thick, and passed
through an Alden dryer and slightly
smoked till stronger outer crust
was formed. The cured meat was
served to sailors on a voyage to the
Sandwich Islands and back, and was
esteemed q great luxury compared
with the best salted mess beet. Some
that was brought back to San Fran
cisco satisfied the experimenters that
this mode of curing meats is destined
to come into general use.

GENTLY far south. Even in the south
of England, though the bark is true

GROWTH OF THE CORK TREE 10
the United States.

The following paper, read before
the Germantown Horticultural Soci.
ETY., by John Jay Smith, will be
found valuable.
1t was a witty reply-and wit
keeps for long time-whioh Mat
thews gave when asked if he had
ever been to Cork: "No, but 1 have
seen many drawings of it." Our
theme at present is not the city of
Cork, but the growing of cork trees
trom acorns. Whether this will be-
come, in the Southern States, a new
industry or not, further experience
only will test; more probably than
not, a cork tree plantation will prove
Of equal if not of greater value than
4 sugar orchard; the profits of the
latter from Canada to Virginia, are
not inconsiderable.
From official statements it appears
that the value of cork imported into
the United States in the year ending
Jane 80, 1874, was $435, ,909, and in
,-lle year ending June so 1875, 1921, /.
959. No weight was given. Surely,
here is inducement enough to make
rs to render ourselves independent of
foreign countries. 1t is said tea cul-
rure is at last becoming successful in
Georgia. Why not also cork p The
countries which supply us with cork
are Spain, principally, and Barbary;

the above sum in gold, three-quarters

That splendid saloon of Knox X McNelly, the Champion, is the point of attraction to the elite of our growing city, and the lovers of an elegant quiet resort may be met with nightly in its well warmed and tastily furnished club room, seeking in a social game, or chat with friends under the tranquilizing influences of the fragrant Havana and the mug of exquisitely com

NIENICO'S MINES.

Arrangements have been made with Boston capitalists for the thor ough development of the Altar mines located on the Santa Gertrudes lode, Sonora. The ores of the Santa Ger trude are described as abundant and similar to those of the celebrat- ed McMillan and Stonewall Jackson mines in Maricopa county, into which great mineral belt the Altar mines extend, and has proved of fabulous wealth.
 The Altar Gold and Silver Min ing Company is composed of East ern capitalists, with Frederick R. Webster, of Boston, as President. The property consists of the main lode of the Santa Gertrudes, with parallel veins running north and south for twenty-two hundred feet in length and $50 feet in width. There is at the present time sufi- cient ore on the dumps to pay for fhe cost of erecting the works. As says from the Santa Gertrudes mine have reached as high as S1.- 227.13 in silver and SIP in gold per ton. The parties who have se- cured it may be considered fortu- nate, for with railroads spanning Arizona and running into Mexico. which must soon be the result. and a branch running to the Gulf of Cal ifornia at Libcrtad. the way is open and mining property in Sonora finds q markc: by railroad and water.

It may be well to mention, though, that Rowe's and Fleming's arastra's are productive. Also that the pioneer mill was built by Mir. Wilson, who deserves all credit for his grit. He has built a little mill of two stamps, worked by horse power, and has converted a large skillet into pan. He gets large lump of amalgam just as reg ularly as he cleans up. Concern ing the district we shall say more, and mention Simons X Allison's mill in the future.

GENERAL MERCHANDISE.

When the Apache roamed over Arizona transportation was high, travelling dangerous and the cost of living approximately great. Now that peace is established prices have fallen, and the tendency is still downward. Of those who sell cheap E. Irvine & Go. have taken the lead in reducing prices ever since they first started in business. They believe that a merchant should be satisfied to make a reas- enable profit. At this time they have a large stock on hand which they wish to clear out entirely, and in order to do so they will sell Gro ceries at the lowest market rates, and Dry Goods, Hardware. Tin ware, etc, at very small advance on cost. They have large stock of Shirting, Sheeting and Prints. The latter they sell at ten cents yard. Of chewing Tobaccos they have the celebrated Lorillard and Bru- nette brands, which beat the world. Of Smoking Tobaccos they have the Durham and Lone Jack. They sell the best of California or Arizona bacon at 2S cents per pound, and ladies' fine dress goods at one dol lar per yard.
