Pitch-Pine.

lOhl w INNING tN, ~
southwark, and nearly all the
way to Florida, the pitch-?ine
trees, with their blazed sides,
attract the attention of the trav-
eler. The lands for long stretch
es are almost worthless, and The
only industry, beyond small
patches of corn or cotton, is the
"boxing" Of the pitch-pine trees
for the gum, as it is called, and
the manufacture of turpentine
and resin.
There are several kinds of
pine trees, including the white,
spruce, yellow, Roumany and
pitch-pine. The latter is the
only valuable one for "boxing,"
and differs a little from the yell
low pine, with which il is some
times COMPOUNDED ut the North.
The owners OF these pine lands
generally lease the privilege"
for business, and receive about
$l25 for a "crop," which con-
sists of 10000 "boxes." The
boxes are cavities cut into the
the tree near the ground in such
a way as to hold about quart,
and from one TO four boxes are
cut in-each tree, the number de-
pending upon size. One man
can attend to and gather the
crop" Of 10000 boxes during
the season, which lasts from
March TO September. About
three quarts OF the pitch or gum
sthc average production of each
box, but 10 secure this amount
the bark of the tree above the
box must be "hacked" away a
little every fortnight.
Doing this so often, and Tor
successive seasons, removes the
bark as high as can be easily
reached, while the quantity OF
the gum constantly decreases,
in that it yield less "spirit" as
the turpentine il called, and then
the trees are abandoned. The
gum is scraped ont of the boxes
with a sort of wooden spoon,
and at the close OF the season,
after the pitch on the exposed
surface OH the tree has become
hard, it is removed By scraping,
and is only good for resin, pro-
ducing no spirit. The gum sells
for $3.50 a barrel to the distil-
Iers From sixteen barrels of
the crude gum, which is about
the average capacity of the stills,
eighty gallons of turpentine and
ten barrels of resin are made.
The resin sells for from Sl.4O to
81 ner barrel, according to quail
ity. and Just about pays for cost
Of gum ard disabling, leaving
the spirit, which sells for ~
CENTS a gallon, as the profit of
the business.
Immense quantities of resin
await shipment at the stations
along the line, and the pleasant
odor enters the car windows as
we are whirlcd along. Alter
tho trees are unfit for further
boxing, and are not suitable Tor
lumber, they are sometimes used

mess IS not very profitable, and
;s only done by large companies,
who can thus utilize their sur
,,lus labor. The trees are cut

THE RAILROAD WAR.
The Question of Passenger Rates

CHICAGO. Oct. 22-The action of the presi-
dents OF the railroads involved in the present
war Is anXiouSly looked for as upon that de-
pendS the question or whether there shall be a
general generalization In passenger rates east
as well as west. The offer or the Wabash road
TO pool the passenger business is not acceptable
TO tie Burlington ard Rock Island roads be-
cause the Wabash has large number OF cheap
unlimited tickets OFT which will secure them a
large share Of the business belonging to the
other roads. The Alton road is indifferent on
this question. but VIII redeem its tickets when
ever the Wabash agrees TO do so. All the roads
say they are making this fight against
the principle enulciated by the Wabash
that Ioad which has inferior terminal
facilities or longer route Is entitled to
q d,nerent1al rate. The general passenger
agents here yesterday decided TO hold the rates
east frm for the preSt ut, and not meet the Al
tons rate from St Louis TO eastern points. A
private dispatch from Kansas City says: :-"Ths

tered. All lines running east from St. Louis
nave joined in the fray, and the Chicago lines
are taking the business at junction points a

cago and st. Louis. The Wabash yesterday
