Why still they look in cold disdain

FARM AND PRESIDE.

NOTES FROM CORRESPONDENCE IN THE
SoUTHER PLANTER.-The natural re-
sources of the country were brought into
active requisition this year on account of
the short crops CT last year. Corn sold as
high as $1.30 in remote districts. To sup
plement the bread crop and the small in
come from tobacco and wheat, salable
stuff, such as railroad ties. tan bark, wal
nut logs, cord wood were sold in large
quantities. One dealer in one Of the old
countries told me he had sold more than
four hundred carloads of these articles.
la another old county I saw these articles
hauled twelve miles or more, this too
former years for want of bark.
How many years the country can stand
this drain and where such supplies are to
C me from when the present supply is ex-
hausted, are questions often asked but sell
dom answered. Certainly that rare es-
t blishment in Virginia, the lanyard, will
have to 60 abroad for supplies if it ever
becomes an institution again. Our peo-
pie can talk politics-run country stores,
beat the world in tournaments, but when
you come to matters of this kind-sueh as
manufacturing leather, shoes, wagons, hoe
and axe helves, &c, they have hollow
place, instead Of bump on their heads,
as OLD Mr.. Ruff used to say.
Small Farms rs. Large Farms. After a
long test think this question is practi-
caiIy settled In Eastern VIRGINIA T have
not seen half q dozen farms worked OF
arte-bellum plans, which did not bring
the workers of these into loss. 1t is not
an impossibility for such farms to prosper
and pay, but it is risky business. There
are however, many cases where small
farms have proven profitable. For the
amount Of capital necessary for small
farm, it is doubtful whether fair return
can be more surely obtained by any other
industry

FISH FARMING BY attaching pump,
propelled by the wind. to a well, says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press, you can supply q
basin from 50 to 70 feet in diameter, and
six to eight feet deep with water sufficient
to raise several thousand carp or other
fish. The cost of this pond and appurte-
! nance need not exceed fifty dollars. The
bottom and sides need to be cemented
thoroughly. When the basin in complete
place in it small quantity of floating
weeds. 1t you intend to raise carp. do not
place other fish of a predatory character
in the pond. The spawning will occur
during the spring months, the female lay
ing from $4,000 to 100000 eggs. The eggs
will adhere to whatever they touch, and
will soon hatch. The green scum of a
partially stagnant pond is fine food for the
young fish. Mud in the bottom of the
pond is beneficial. The fish will feed read
lily on kitchen-garden refuse, such as cab
bage, leek, lettuce, hominy or other SUBJ
stances. Water seldom becomes 100 warm
for these fish. During freezing weather
they bury themselves in the mud at the
bottom of the pond. While in this condi-
ton they should not be disturbed. In q
pond of given dimensions several thousand
fish have annually been taken. If weeds
and grass grow profusely about the bor-
ders of the pond, so much the better for
the fish. In two years time you can have
a constant supply of sport and food. and

Everybody who undertakes mining
has to learn by experience, just the
same as in any other business. Like
all kinds OF business in order to be-

will bridge over them this and
thereby profit by past experience. II
you have too many claims, sell part OF
them, even fyou do not get what you

IT is getting to be quite fashionable
among some of the prints of the State,
to look upon man of large wealth
who aspires to Office, as a bonanza
king, and to class him with those who
demand honors at the hands OF their
fellows, because he has money. Some of
these papers, in their insane desire to
be considered the pure and unadulter-
ated of brains, never stop 10 consider
whether this or that man made his
thousands or millions honestly, wheth-
er in this disposition of his wealth, he
has benefited his fellow beings, or the
community, whether he is charitable
or mean and penutious, or which in
addition to his shekels he possesses the
wealth which nature and nature only

ADVANCEMENT or RUBY
CAMP.

NHl2
Mr.. EDITOR: At the present time
Colorado is attracting more attention
than any other section of the country.
This is true in regards to moneyed
men, as well as to the masses. The
tide OF immigration that IS setting in
50 strongl; in this direction and a
growing disposition for mining invest
ments, indicates a general belief in
Colorado's superior prospects for
labor and capital. So widely preya-
lent an opinion can only be caused
by continuous prosperity, and the
great natural wealth that Colorado
has, deserves the reputation and re-
nown that Is securing her present ad-
vancement and growing productions.
Brilliant as the recent record has
been, it is evident that it can bear no
comparison with that of the future.
Minerals head the list Of the resources
tf Our nations wealth. With her
gold, silver, iron and coal Colorado
has contributed largely to the wealth
Of America, and to-day no one can
prophesy her future with her resources
undeveloped. 1t Is fast being demon
strated as an established fact, that her
mineral resources exceed those Of any
other state or territory. And thus
while her gold and silver mines are
astonishing the world and enriching
her people as we'll as outside investors
and her farms and stock ranges are
very productive, yet her resources are
not half developed, and treasures lie
undiscovered in our mountains. Two
hundred and forty-four species CT min
eral have been found within the
bounds Of the Union, of these only
one-third are Of any practical use to
man, and Colorado will furnish more
than this one third to the nations
wealth. No other state can boast of
SO vast and valuable mineral deposits.
Gunnison county, 20 which the great
tide of immigration is drifting with
irresistible force, was but little known
two years ago, and more especially
Ruby camp. Let US now stop at
Ruby and examine the same in regard
to the true value of its mineral re-
sources and its coal. We find, as far
as has been explored, that the forma
ton is limestone, granite and quartz
ties. Many of the veins are high
grade with galena, ruby, pyrites Of
copper and pyrites OF iron.
While the San Juan country has the
advantage Of their large veins of galena
cropping out, yet we find in Ruby
camp, although they have a great deal
of extra work and expense in reach
ing the veins, when found, they
are far more richer in value of mineral
than your galena, and abound with
ruby, brittle, native and wire silver,
making the same of great value to the
ton. 1t is not unlikely that the day
is not far distant, when Ruby camp,
for mineral and coal, will stand at the
head as one Of the leading mining and
producing camps of the State. With
our advantage over all ether camps of
Colorado tor smelling and reduction
works, we will be the richest, and
capital will no doubt, take this into
consideration and will place their
money where the best advantage is
offered for the same. Hoping at some
future time to continue this article in
your paper, remain.
Yours, respectfully,
