EXAMPLES OF ITS WORKINGS

A, an ex-planter, has made and realized

to remain here, and take life easy. He
proposes to invest his money in first mort
cages, bearing per cent interest, on sew.

the securities, he effects the loan of all his
capital in this manner. 1t is distributed

II, that the borrower shall pay all taxes
upon the mortgaged property. July LIST,
the Assessor, as in duty bound, calls upon
A for statement of his taxable property.
and enters, under the head of personal
property, the four mortgages. The tax
thereon, three-fourths of one per cent, will
be payable between Sept. LIST und Nov. 3Oth,
and no doubt will be cheerfully paid. A
has that amount of property securely in.
vested and yielding good interest. For
the safe and peaceable enjoyment of this
property under the law, he is willing to pay

hourishing plantation, which he estimated
to bo worth $4,000 before he borrowed
the $4,000. This loan he has expended

the occasion OF his borrowing. The As

CONSIDERABLE has been said from
time to time in our columns relative
to Artesian Well boring in this King
dom, and out of the many wells that
have been sunk few have failed to
offer up the material flow. During
the past four months Mr.. John Ash
ley, (well-known in conjunction with
Mr.. Fessler in the many wells they
have sunk together), has been
boring artesian wells at Waialua,
and has sunk two for Mr.. Silva and
two for Mr.. Mendosa on their
ranches in that district. These wells
are 400 feet deep and water raises
70 feet 6 inches above the level of
the sea from each of them. Mr..
Silva is intending to sink from Is to
20 more wells on his immense
ranches through Waialua, and has
sent East for a complete rig to per-
form the works. Mr.. Ashley is still
boring away on two more contracts
for Mr.. Silva, and the people in the
neighborhoad praise the name of
John Ashley and the owners Messrs.
Silva and Mendosa, are highly salts
fled with the success attained by this
thoroughly qualified artisan.
