Tomatoes in the Garden.

Tomato plants should be transplanted
 in good soil, four feet apart each way.
 The land best suited for the early crop is rather light sandy loam. Stiff, strong soil bears productive crop but will mature later. A little quick, fine manure in each hill will be found of ser vice in bringing forward 5he plants. To hasten the maturity of the. first fruit which sets gardeners not infrequently pinch off the extremities of the tops and all the secondary shoots which after ward appear above the flowers. Trel- lises of stakes and hoops provide good support for the plants, but where large crops are raised covering the ground with hay or straw is very generally adj fsd to keep the fruit clean. .-Neso

The Senate Committee on Elections decided to take up the charges of bribery against sena- for Ingalls, in connection with his election to the Senate from Kansas.
 In response to letter from the Secretary of tho Interior, inquiring what amount of funds can be made available monthly for the pay- ment of arrears of pensions, the Secretary of tho Treasury states that, including the amount

ties, or by companies, or corpora
tions legally organized under the
laws of this State), and shall de-
termiDe the amount of water which
sh all be given and used as an irri-
eating head, and cause the same to
be measured and distributed to the
irrigators; to use all means to
cause the water of said district to be
utilized to the best interest of the
irrigators." Power is conferred
upon the Commissioners to acquire
conveyance or by actions for con-
domination, rights of way for ditch
es. dams, reservoirs and canals, and
the Act contains many provisions
in aid of the above mentioned
power.
The Court found, as conclusion
OF law, that the ditch was "neigh-
borhood and quasi public" ditch,
and was not owned by private per-
sons within the meaning of the
above mentioned Act. An irrigat-
ing ditch, constructed, repaired
and controlled by two or
more persons, does not caase
to be private property and become
public property, because the sever
al persons interested in it have not
accurately defined their respective
rights therein or in the water flow
ing in 1t, nor because they have, by
election or otherwise, selected a
person to distribute the water
among those who have contributed
to the construction and mainten-
ance of the ditch. nor for both of
those reasons combined. No princi-
pie of law has been cited, by virtue
of which that mode of construction
and management of such q ditch
and its waters would operate as a
dedicatiNn Of the ii. Cch or It's waleis
t. the public. They have not been
expressly granted to the public,
and If they have not been dedi-
Gated to public use, they remain
private property. In our opinion
the case falls within the exception
mentioned in the sixth section of
the Act-that the ditch is private
property.
But If the ditch is only a quasi
public ditch, it must, to some ex-
tent, and in some measure, be q
private ditch--for the qualification
given necessarily implies that it is
not entirely public ditch, and
that private parties own some
right, title or interest therein; and
If that be so, they cannot be de-
prived of such right, title, or inter-
est by the summary process of TAX
ing possession of the ditch, adopted
in this case.
The facts found by the Court en-
title the plaintiff to the relief
prayed for in his complaint.
Judgment reversed, and cause re-
manded with directions to the
Court below To order the injunction
to issue NJ prayed for in the COM
plaint.

THE SILVER KING MINE.
What Late Visitor Thinks of the Property.

1
FLORENCE, Arizona, Dec. Is.
EDITOR STOCK REPORT, San
Francisco, Cal.-On my return
from Globe District I was enabled
to visit the celebrated Silver King
mine, located In this county, and
about thirty-five miles north OF
Florence. 1 had heard much of Its
great wealth. My examination
satisfied me that instead of the re-
port being exaggerated, the con.
trary Is the fact. In the manage
ment of this property much credit
is due for the manner in which
they have opened it up during the
past year. They have, without
any expense to the stockholders,
sunk fine timbered shaft three
hundred and fifty feet, cutting the
vein proper at three hundred feet.
At a depth of two hundred and fifty
feet cut was made through eigh-
| teen feet of granite to the hanging
wall where the vein was tapped
and crossed for seventy-eight feet,
all solid ore, much of 1t assaying in
the thousands, half of 1t high in
| the hundreds and the rest of it will
work to q profit. The same rich
ore was exposed where the shaft
passes into the vein and no change
Is visible all the way to the bottom.
The value of this mass of reserves
cannot we'll be properly estimated,
but 1T assures to those interested
the possession, beyond a doubt, of
great wealth that will outlast this
generation. The ten-stamp mill Of
the company has steadily run with
out intermission the year entire Oh
pay ore taken from the old
workings on the foot-wall side. No
dividends have been declared since
last October, but the property has
been and is being opened and the
show of ore made more than COM
pensates for the delay. Surveys
and plans are INV being made for
a first-class thiriy-stamp mill at
the mine, with reduction works
complete, to turn nut the bullion
there. Until this new mill is in
running order the present ten
stamp mill at Picket Post will be
! kept running as at present, when
the concentration process will be
changed to that of amalgamating,
and the twenty-five Thousand tons
of tailings converted into bullion.
Everything at the mine and mill
indicates thoroughly defined pol
icy of economy and practical mate
rial result. No company on this
slope can show u better record in
this respect. Any doubts that pre-
vailed heretofore regarding the
Silver King being a true fissure
vein of great magnitude are now
ended, as both walls are fully ex-
posed. They are of syenitic gran
ite and the vein matter is quartz
and porphyry. Much of the ore is
most beautiful ruby and native sill
yer. This property has fair repu-
tation, but not near what the show
ing made entities it to. Its owners
may we'll be proud of its possession
and at some not distant day Arizo-
ma and the Pacific Coast will rem
der to it the position in the mining
world to which it is so justly enti-
tIau

SYLLABUS.

A ditch was constructed by private
persons to convey water for the
irrigation of their respective
tracts of land, the expense of the
same and of the repairs being
borne by them in proportion to
the land irrigated by each, and
other landowners were permit
ted to extend the ditch to their
respective tracts of land, they
contributing to the expenses of
its construction and repair in the
same manner as those who first
constructed it; and the waters
were distributed by watsr mas
ter, elected by the persons so ir-
rigating their lands; held, that
the mode of the construction and
repair of the ditch and the dis
tributi0n of the water did not
make it a public ditch, but it re-
mained private property.
The plaintiff is, and for more
than ten years last past has been,
the owner In fee and fin possession
of a tract of land forming part OF
the Rancho Ranchito, situated in
Los Nietos township, in the county
of Los Angeles, and bounded on
one side by the San Gabriel river.
About the year 1868 he, together
with sixteen other owners of sep
arate tracts of land, upon that ran.
cho, constructed the ditch in con-
troversy, called the "Cate Ditch" /"
by which they conducted water
from the river San Gabriel upon
their several tracts of land for the
purpose of irrigatiDg the same; and
he and they have continued to use
the ditch for that purpose from that
time up to June, 1878, when the de.
fendant took the exclusive posses
sion of the ditch and the waters
therein flowing.
The expenses of the construction
and repair of the ditch have been
borne by the respective parties in
proportion to the quantity of land
irrigated by them. Other persons
desiring to irrigate their lands have
continued the ditch to and upon
their respective tracts of land, and
thew have contributed to the con.
struction and repairs in the same
manner, and have had the same
management and control of the
ditch as those who originally con-
structed it. The distribution of the
waters has been regulated by q
water master, elected by those who
irrigated from the ditch.
The plaintiff seeks to epjoin the
defendants from assuming the pos
session or control of the ditch, or
the water flowing in 1t, or in any
manner interfering with the same
The defendants justify their pos
session and control of the ditch ant

Refinement.

Refinement is not fastidiouSness.
1t is nothing of this kind. 1t is far
removed from excess of waste. A
person who is truly refined will not
squander or needlessly consume
anything. Refinement, on the con-
trary is always allied to simplicity
aud a judicious and tasteful employ
ment OF the means OF the good an,h
happiness which it has at colnr
mand. 1t Seeks to divest itself of
siiperfiuties, and aspires continual
ly to the utmost possible purity.
t.leads to persOnsI clean
illness and elegant reatness> good
taste and simplicity in dsess. All
'loudnessD or flashiness is repug-
ant to its spirit. In its home and
surroundings, the same chasteness
and nature grace are maintained.
The abode of genuine refinement
and mere pretenaler to it are very
different. In the former you will
find no excess, gaudiness or false
glitter; but the latter aoounds in
them. In personal manuer, refine
ment is most conspicuous. A man
of refinementis always polite with.
out stiffness.

THE MAID OF PASCAGOULA.
BY "UNCLE GEORGE"

The dimpled wavolets leap and roar
Against the roek-bound mossy shore,
And bring'the tinted sea-shells DER
The Bay of Pascagoula;
The whispering breezes watt the notes
Of Mystic music that 'ere floats
From mermaid swan like swelling throats
Down at Pascagonla.
The rich eXotics of our cline
Round the cottage windows twine,
And bluest skies above them shine;
Beauteoas Pascagoulal
But not of these, tho wondrous, fair,
Was all my ears heard, eyes saw there
But to thy maids tune my Tyre, ..
The maids of Pascagoula.
OF thy daughters, dark-eyed nymphs,
Methinks of heaven we get glimpse,
Down at Pascagoula.
Her maids are one and all so fair
But one more fair than others there
A sweet girl-hower rich and rare
saw at Pascagoula.
The dark-eyed, blue-eyed, short and tall,
Each DER some fond heart held their thrall,
But she was lovelier than them all
This maid of Pascagoula.
Her modest, unassuming mien,
Hor dark hair, with its golden sheen,
Was dearer than all Others seem
Dear maid of Pascagoula.
Her eyes with truth were all alight,
Her cheeks a-bloom with bushes bright,
Her form was graceful, tho so slight,
This maid of Pascagoula.
AS gentle, tender, sweet a flower ..
As ever bloomed in earthly bower
How can sing thy charms this hour,
Fair maid of Pascagoula.
Perhaps no other eyes did see
The quiet charm SO plain to me,
But ere turned again to thee, /.
Sweet maid of Pascagoula.
Thou may'st another's be, not mine,
Round some true heart thy love may twine
Still will my song be, Ever thine"
My maid of Pascagoula.
