THE "DIE BARR"
How 90 Prevent and Cure 1.-THE
Experiences of an Orange Grower.


WALDO FLA, February 26.-Editor Morn
ing Nelcs In your issue Of February 25th,
"a Subscriber " writes a query on the
subject of "Die Bark" or something Of
that kind, and with your permission l would
like to give the readers of your excellent paper
the benefit OF some experiments have made
in arresting and curing the disease Of which
"a Subscriber speaks though am not pre-
pared to give the cause-stiII have found the
remedy as effectual in preventing as In arrest
ing the disease Several years ago had in
my grove several trees affected, which in other
respects seemed to be thriving as well as their
more healthy neighbors, and as regarded the
affection, il not positively injurious, at least
uHsightTv, set about to discover the
cause. Ny opinion on that subject, founded
on the result of experiments, is that 1t is
the result of want of potash in the
land. After trying a vigorous use of manures
of various kinds such as could collect about
q farm ward and COW pen-I concluded as a
last resort to apply soap suds. made the test
upon two trees, which | considered almost in a
hopeless condition. l scraped all the dead
bark away and the wood most seriously at
fected, and then with coarse cloth and strong
Suds from the wash place | administered an
energetic scrubbing both to the affected and.
in truth, to the whole body of the trees then
threw several buckets full into the tops ami
several around the roots. This dose repeated
several times, and soon found that the sores
began to heal Deeming 1t a success, tried
others, and now trees that l considered
almost ruined show nothing but scars, some
of them having entirely healed. Whether
there is any philosophy in it or not, do not
know; but that in the instance to which
refer, and several others where l recon-
mended It, I know that ii has been efficacious,
philosophy to the contrary notwithstanding.
believe potash dissolved in water and applied
in similar manner would prove equally bene-
fetal.
lam not an advocate OF very strong CONNER
eial fertilizers for orange trees, for the reason
that as rule the properties are volatile, and
IF not absorbed some are lost. Orange trees
being rather slow in their growth do not take
II up as rapidly as 1t rises and escapes from
the groHHd. Lime is an eIcellent fertilizer for
the orange. and when mixed with vegetable
mold and animal secretiors makes, in my opin-
ion, a manure that is morehealthful and adapt
ed to the growth and development OF a juicy,
sweet and pretty orange, than anything else
that can be used. If this is banked together
aud during the process of analgamation and
decomposition it is kept from the sun and rain,
but watered frequently with strong potash
water until ready for use, 1 believe it win be

The mountains between Eureka and
Palisads are almost denuded Of the timber
that formerly covered them. For years
the line Of the Eureka h Palisade Railroad
has been tho main source OF the wood and
coal supply for Eureka consumption. The
industry has seen its best day in that d.
rec,ion. Our mines must now begin to
look for another source. The proposed new
railroad will transfer the bulk Of the coal,
wood and lumber business to White Pine
county. Out beyond Thirty.mile Springs
there are some magnificent forests OF nut
pine. These will be the scene OF life and
activity once tho new road shall be in OPP
Grafton. In any event tsi-Ts is nc longer
any large amount OF fuel to be drawn from
the northward. The failure Of the supply
also will cut down quito materially the
earnings Of the Eureka q Palisade Rail-
road; and with q rail outlet to Salt Lake
Its business must decline more than one
half. The E. 4 P. has enjoyed a rich
harvest in the past, but II talk goes for
anything II will soon have q rival route
bidding for Eureka's business ct bedrock

The Gathering of the Clans.

Notes Of the approaching great legal
struggle between the Richmond and Al
bion Mining Companies are becoming WIS.,
ible on all sides. President l.. L. Robin
son, OF the Albion, and Counselor W. s.
Wood were due by last Nights train. Sem
stor Stewardis to be here tomorrow night.
The latter gentleman comes from the East,
having lately been engaged in an import
ant suit in New Mexico. The whole force
of the ~contending parties will be on the
ground by the early part of the coming
week. Judge Cole has been added to
counsel for the Richmond since the pre-
liminary hearing in the injunction matter.
It is also stated that Sam Wilson OF San
Francisco will be in attendance for the
Richmond. This trial will be for keeps,
and there can be 40 doubt that every point
will be commended inch by inch by able rep
resentatives upon either side.

There are no less than twelve promising
Eureka mining properties under bond TO
Eastern and European parties. Anumber
Of these sales will be contaminated within
the next two or three months. Several
San Francisco capitalists are anxious to
secure properties in Eureka, and agents
will shortly visit our district TO see what
can be had. Altogether we ought to have
something OF a mining boom here before
snow flies. The steady dividends OF the
Eureka Con. and Richmond are attracting
wide attention to our district and creating
an impression that cannot fail OF beneficial
results in the end. No mining camp in
America can to-day boast OF two such pro-
ductive mines as the Eureka Con. and the
Richmond. II the Albion shall be added
as a third dividend payer, which is not at
all improbable. the general prosperity
would be greatly enhanced. The Geddes
h Bertrand also promises TO take q leading
rank as a bullion producer during the Fall
months. Eureka's outlook is as bright at
this writing as at any time in its history.
II is true that business OF all kinds Is
measurably ovcrdone, but this Is in no
sense the fault of the camp, or does it
prove any lack Of resources.

The Terrible Dust,

We do not envy any excursionist his or
her ride down the Humboldt river to-day.
For 800 miles the cars will be filed with
q dense cloud Of the meanest, grittiest and
most adhesive and annoying dust that ever
swhirled along tho desert Of the great ba-
sin. 1t is worse now in this regard than
ever known before. The railroad boys say
they have never known the dust to be so
bad in any former year. OF course it ia
worse some days than others. A good deal
depends on the direction Of the wind. But
it is disagreeably unpleasant at the most.
The excursionists will be especially fortu-
nate if the wind blows from a direction to
carry the dust from the cars rather than
into them.

Unloading for she Fourth.

S. F. Stock Exchange of the June 30
1.-The boys are all unloading for the
FOURTH" said a broker this morning,
"and that is what's the matter. Nobody
wants to carry stocks over a weeks vaca-
ton and pay interest on 'em. Besides, I
guess a good many clippers need the
money for ex's during the week, and so
they get out and trust to luck to get in
again at lower prices" Whether the bro
ker is right or not makes but little differ
ence. The fact is that somebody is crowd
ing the market with all the stock it will
bear without creating a panic, and the re-
suit is a terrible lessening OF values and
shrinking Of margins. The market this
morning was active, but it was a bear mar
ket, Stock seemed to come from all quar-
tiers, and, considering the large offerings,
the fact that prices suffered no further de-
cline, is rather remarkable.

A COMPROMISES VERDICT.
An Attempt by n Cinnamon TO
Influence an AffOrney.


The case of Lue Due, tho Chinaman
charged with an assault upon Cow Toy
with intent to kill, occupied the District
Court yesterday upon its secon hearing,
Judge Rives presiding. Messrs. Baker and
Davenport conducted the prosecution and
Geo. W. Merrill the defense. Both sides
introduced new testimony, the prosecution
bringing forward a white witness named
Brisbow, who volunteered his testimony,
aud the defense a Chinaman who is en-
ployed by J. 8. Wilton. Mr.. Brisbow.
however, proved somewhat unfortunate for
the prosecution, and his testimony was
quite aptly used by the counsel for the de-
Tense. The witness claimed to have stood
within fifteen yards OF the CONTESTANTS, vet
his story was disjointed, and contradicted
materially the evidence of the other white
witnesses in the case. The Chinaman, il
he spoke the truth, gave strong testimony
against Cow Toy, the prosecuting witness.
The case was submitted to the jury at 5
o'clock, and they shortly afterward re-
turned the following verdict: 1--WE, the
Jury, in the above mentioned case, find the
defendant guilty Of an assault with intent to
do bodily injury" This is considered q COM.
promise verdict, as the jury at first, on the
charge with intent to kill, stood six for
conviction and six for scquittal. Whether
this verdict will hold good in law remains
to be seen. The sentence under the YER
dict cannot exceed two years in the Peni-
tertiary.
Mr.. Merrill, in the defense Of the China
man, by order Of the Court, has conducted
the case with great ability and energy. In
fact, the company to which Cow Toy be-
longs, fearing that the prisoner might be
freed through Mr.. Merrill's N eff
forts, offered to pay the attorney literally
If he ''no speakee so much" and shook q
handful Of twenties at him. The noble
Roman, however, could not be purchased
with blood money, and informed the Court
Of the proceedings.
