PARADISE, Nov. 20, 1879.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: Nature turns
loose this Winter to fructify and bene-
fit Mother Earth in rather copious
fashion; in other words. we have had,
so far, lots Of rain and snow, with
continuance of the attention of the
weather Clerk" We shall astonish
not only the world in general, but will
even surprise all jealousy out of the
heart of the Big Meadows "scribbler +"
Our old mines continue their
REGULAR SHIPMENTS OF BULLION,
While our new ones are creating more
and more excitement. The Mary
Wilder continues to justify all that has
been said of it's beauty and worth.
The Louisiana, situated two and half
miles south Of the Mary Wilder, is pam
ming out splendidly. Recent assays
show $40 in gold and $3.50 in silver.
DIR. Powell owns controlling interest
in this mine. Messrs. Palmer and
Middleton are large owners The
mines of Congo District will employ
from two to three hundred men in the
Spring.
QUITE AN EXCITEMENT
Exists here with regard to some new
discoveries ten or twelve miles east of
this village. Fine rock, giving good
assays, has been brought in from there.
Men of judgment in such matters, who
have visited this discovery, are buying
all the feet that are purchasable, which
indicates their opinion Of it.
The mining interests about this val
ley are looking so well that we invite
the mining sharps, not only of San Fran
cisco but of Big Meadows and att the
world, to come and see; and if they
swindle us, we will agree in advance to
go contrary to the example set us by
the ''scribbler" of Big Meadows. We
will neither whine, squeal, or attempt
invidious comparison with better fav-
ored communities.
Yours, truly, o. B.

Progress or the Battle Mountain and
Austin Marrow Gauge.

Frank Bell, Division Superintendent
Of the Western Union Telegraph, gives
the Reno Gazette the following relative
to the Nevada Central Railway:
1.-The tracklayers are delayed for
want Of bolts. The iron is laid thirty
five miles and trains will run to Hot
Springs to-day and hereafter. On the
trip from the end of the track, the
train ran with him aboard, the thirty
five miles in one hour and thrty-6ve
minutes, and made two stops. He
says
THE PATENT GRADERS
Beat the world. They cut nice clean
ditch on either side and built up the
grade out of it. The principle is an
endless rubber belt, which runs just
like the belt on header machine. The
lower end runs down ard catches the
dirt, which falls from the share of a
pillow, which is part of the machine. Az
the dirt is turned up by the plow it il
caught by the buckets on the belt and
carried up the frame and dropped off at
the end. About forty-fve men are
laying iron. The road bed is one of
the incest in the world There is a
stretch of track forty-fv miles long
with but one curve, and that is only
one degree.
WATER HAS TO BE HAULED
The entire distance for the locomotives.
in artesian well has been sunk at Hot
Springs 200 feet when the bit struck
and work stopped. The water is with
in twenty-seyen feet of the surface.
The borers have now gone to Bridges
station, just half way, and will sink
there. Ii successful they will come
back to Hot Springs and try again.
TILE TELEGRAPH LINE
viii be built as fast as the track is laid,
and an ofiicekept open at the end. The
railroad conpany has bought the iron
from the Stockton & lone road, and the
road and equipments of the Salinas and
Monterey road. The former was never
finished, and the latter has been recent
~ purchased by the Central Pacific,
and is being widened to the standard
gauge. The iron is being forwarded
to Battle Mountain as well as the two
fine Baldwin locomotives, four passenr
ges. coaches and quite a number of
freight and platform cars The road
will be built to Austin by the middle Of

Influence Of Forests on Climate,

classic lands OF antiquity are rich in sad

brooks Of Palestine are dry, and the iruit,
f .lness Of the land has Disappeared. The

New Testament days. Greece and Spain
suffer severely to this day from the effects
of destroying their forests. Many OF the
klngdoIn OF WurtemGerg have been ren.

trees. In Hungary the periodically re-
turning drought is universally attributed
to the extermnaton of the forests.

tomUs have taken the place of what was
the highest culture. SARDINIA ANA Sicily
were once the granaries of Italy, but have
long since lost the irulttulncss sung by the
ancient poets. On the other hand, man
can improve the condition of the land in
which he lives, more slowly indeed, but AS
certainly, by cuitlyatinE and preserving
the forests. In earlier years reliable
authorities have told US that III the Delta
OF Upper Egypt there were only five or six
days OF RAIN in the year, Gut that, since the
time when Mehemet Al caused some 20 600
trees to be planted, the number Of days OF

Jersey Cranberries.
A HINT TO DELAWAREANs.

In late report on the industries of New
Jersey there is paragraph devoted to
cranberry culture. There are many per-
sons who imagine that the Jersey sands are
given up almost wholly to trucking, because
Of the inducements held out to Jersey
farmers and gardeners by the pOpulous
market Of New York on the one hand and
Philadelphia on the other 1t will surprise
such to learn that six thousand acres of re-
claimed swamp lands are cultivated with
the cranberry, and that the annual product
of this valuable berry is more than one
hundred and fifty thousand bushels. The
average product is, therefore, twenty five
bushels per acre, and when once the swamp
is drained, covered with light coating OF
sand, and arrangements perfected f0r Hood.
ing it at the proper time, the subsequent
tillage is easy. The crop. moreover, IS GER
tain AS any, and is subject to no other disease
than an occasional rotting of the berries.
This, however, is rare, and so the Jersey
men living within the cranberry region 90
on, year after year, reclaiming their swamp
lands and adding acre to acre of q fruit so
hardy and generally profitable. OF all the
crauherries grown in the United States
those of New Jersey are the largest and
finest in flavor. Neither the Canada nor
New England cranberries will compare
with the best in New Jersey, and now that
the expectation of cranbcrrics in the fruit
and as ellies is increasing, the inducements
to extend the culture will be very great
We have been the more particular in re-
| ferring to this subject because there are
many swamps both in Delaware and on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland that are capa,
! ble of being reclaimed. and where the
cranberry would flourish. Although Gran.
berries can be grown on uplandS, they are
OF poorer quality, lighter yield and more un-
certain product. The soil in which they
succeed best being one which in nothing
else will grow gives special value'tO the cul.
ture of this fruit, and the encouragement
to engage in it is to he found in the profit
derived from the crop. But there is
another aspect Of the cranberry question
that is quite worthy Of consideration. The
six thousand acres upon which cranberries
are grown in New Jersey represent six
| thousand acres reclaimed from marsh, or
to put it in another form, nine square
miles redeemed from malaria and made
healthy and habitable. 1t is this result, the
improved health of the neighbOrhood, that
follows the reclamation of swamp lands
and the consequent enhancement in the
value of all lands within that area, thai
holds out the highest encouragement tC
our Peninsuiar farmers to initiate the cX
ample Of those of New Jersey, and by
cultyating fruit that pays well and need.

same time to the saluhrity of the district

PEACH STATIsTIcs.-The following are the
statistics OF the peach crop for the last
twelve years, as indicated by the number
OF carloads shipped over the Delaware rail
road, which, however, does not include the
large quantity that reaches the Baltimore
markets by STEAMERS and sailing vessels
In 1867 the shipments amounted to 2.0j6
carloads; in 1868 to 4,Ol6; in 1870 the crop
was partial failure, and the shipment,
reached 2,707, but in 1872 there was "a full
market, and 1904 carloads were gathered; !;
in 1872 4,09l loads; in 1873, 1852; in 1873,
1852; in 1874. l,266, and in 1875, 9.012
