To the immigrant in search Of
. comfortable home, Bossier parish
offers inducements rarely met with
anywhere. Lands are cheap and
can be purchased upon easy terms.
Taxes are uniformly low, and are
always applied to the legitimate de-
mands Of the parish. No indebted.
ness hangs over the people, threat
ening to eat out their substance in
taxation. Schools and churches
abound in most every neighborhood.
Stock range, water and timber in
abundance, and of the best quality.
Railroad facilities are promised at
an early day. First-class cotton,
grain and fruitrgrowing climate,
with a soil that needs only to be
tickled with the implements of hus-
bandry to make it yield the richest
harvests. Society excellent. No
aristocracy exists here, to distinguish
between the rich and the poor. No
prescription Of any kind is enter
tanned here against any honest, in
dustrious and law-abiding person.
A more hospitable, happy and pros
porous people than those residing in
Bossier parish, would, indeed, be
hard to find.

If every man in Bossier parish
would resolve, as far as in his pow
er lay, to settle up his Indebtedness
with the beginning Of the new year,
what q mighty impetus would be
given to the business Of 1882, and
how much embarrassmentand worry
would be avoided! There would be
no delusiOn then on the part of men
as to the stability of their own af.
fairs, and they would be in a position
to estimate mere accurately how far
they may safely venture during the
year. The Banner has repeatedly
maintained that it is far better for a
business man to have others owe
him than for him to be owing others.
Every season of business depression
and every periodical financial panic
prove this to be automatically true.
Shun debt as You would the devil,
and set the golden example to those
around yon of meeting your obliga-
tons, when you incur them, with
cheerful promptitude. No man can
achieve success, or enjoy the conf.
dence of his fellow men, no matter
what graces Of mind or social pre-.
tentions he may have, who does not
adhere to this rule. The contrary of
this may, in some instances, for
awhile seem true, but the culmina.
ton is inevitably failure, disaster
and despair.
Try the experiment for one year
at least, and see how it will work.
We mean the experiment of CON-
mencing at the beginning of this
year, BY paying as you go, if not,
then paying your creditors promptly |
when they call upon you, instead of
meanly postponing them from time |
to time, giving them unnecessary |
trouble to get what belongs to them, |
and frequently causing grievous
embarrassment and disarrangement |
Of their plans.

BRIEF CALIFORNIA MINING NOTES,

The Denver Mining Exposition
building is to be finished by the 18th
of July, ready for the reception o
exhibits.
The Hawley mill at Owens Lake
has started up for protracted run
about 600 tons of ore being now on
hand.
The quartz mines on the north side
OF the Fresno river are being vigor--
ously worked this season. A large
number of men are at work .here.
The Taylor and McEvoy mill, Invo
county, lately closed down for clean
up. The result was $4,000 in gold.
The ore crushed milled $50 per ton.
The Cable Company, Montana,
have ordered 80 stamp gold mill
from Chicago, which it is claimed
will be the best ever built in that
Territory.
The Empire, the Oldest worked
mine in Grass Valley District, is at
present looking as well if not better
than it has ever looked. New ground
will soon be opened up at this mine.
In addition to the exhibit from
every mineral bearing State and Ter
ritery at the Denver Exposition,
Mexico, Honduras, Canada, Nova
Scotia and other adjoining mining
countries will contribute.
The special cleanup of the mill at
Panamint was to have been complet-
ed on the 18th. The proceeds of the
last run will aggregate 40 bars, from
600 to 1000 ounces each, of a total
value of from s3s, 900 to $4,000.
According to report the Gwin
mine, Calaveras county, has closed
down permanently and the machin-
cry is to be disposed Of A few
weeks ago some rich rock had been
struck in the 4oofoot level, but it
did not hold out, proving to be only
a "bunch."
Reports from the Driesbach ledge
near Grizzly Flat, Ell Dorado, are of
Lhe most encouraging character. j.

| The extraordinary excitement o.
the last two months has now to a con
siderable extent quieted down, and
the fluctuations which take place are
only regulated naturally by the de-
mands of the milling trade, and the
requirements of the community. Our
external trade has dwindled down to
the execution of a few orders which
now and again arrive from the east
coast colonies. Market prices opened
with sales of fine Milling Wheat at
IS Sd to 6s I'D a shade more being
obtained towards the end of last
month. but as we write holders are
again accepting the opening prices
of the fortnight. Millers are buying
very sparingly-from hand to mouth,
indeed, in many instances-with the
view, possibly, OF wrestling slight
concess; on from spectators as the
year advances. On the other hand,
the bulk of the balance of last sea-
sons crop is known to be too we'll
and firmly held to permit OF any sub
stantial decline for months to cone,
unless it happens that the rnmors Of
large importaticns of Wheat and
Flour from California to Sydney, and
even to Adelaide, shall come to be
realized in the immediate future. The
cargo of the "BIair Drimmond,"
loaded at Geelong for European
port, has been sold, ito be reloaded
at Sandredge in all probability. The
cargo consists of $4,000 bags. AS
far back as the 2lst ultimo, the Ade-
laid corn merchants were startled
by the report that a large cargo of
Wheat had sailed from San Francis
CO for that port, and that liberal sup
plies we're also on the way to Sidney,
the consequence of which was that
buyers declined to give more than
Is per bushel, delivered at their
mills. On the subject of the recent
imitation of values of breadstuffs in
this and the neighboring colony OF
South Australia. Messrs. Morgan,

their grain circular of 2eth of April,

COAL DEPOSIT OF PUGET SOUND.
Seattle Chronicle.

WAL OkfOSlT VI PUGET SOUND.
Seattle Chronicle.
The great coal fields of King coun-
ty are practically inexhaustible. Fol-
generations yet to come the coal
mines in the Puget Sound basin will
continue to be a source of revenue.
The mining of coal is yet in its in
fancy compared to the mining opera
tions that will be carried Oh here
within few years more. The time
is not far distant when there will be
as many men employed in coal min
ing in Washing: on Territory as there
are now at work in the mines of
Pennsylvania. While King county
has several mines that are rapidly
being developed, yet the coal depos-
its of Puget Sound are not confined
alone to this comfy. The Nothwest
Enterprise calls attention TO theEfact
that there is plenty of coal on the
Snohomish, Stilaguamisl, Samish and
upper Nootsack rivers, in many
places positively known to exist, and
in others only hinted at and design
edly kept quiet. In only few in
stances has the quantity or value
been investigated by making an
opening. Northwest of the Sumas
road, running from Bcllingham Bay
to Samas Lake, in British Columbia,
there are no indications of i: on the
surface, while east of that line coal
has been found in many places. The
Nootsack plain is composed of drif:
and sediment, supposed to have come
from Fraser river; yet lying deeper
there may be coal, in the Nootsack
as we'll as in the Slilaguamish and
Skagit river valleys, as it is known
to extend under Bellingham Bay,
where it has been mined. The val
ley containing this coal exteEds
across the Sound, and shows coal
again in the olympic mountains and
Islands sides. Coal has
been reported at Langley, Burnard
Inlet, Pit river and other places in
he plains on the Fraser, underneath
> sediment like that of Bellinghanl
Bay. Chunks of coal are also found |
n the drift of Guemas, Samisll and
Fidalgo Islands, adjacent to older
'ocks, the situation OF which clearly |
IMPLIES that it is in place somewhere
lot very far away. The truth is that
We are in coal country from Wal
iron Island to Sauk river, but neither
he rocks containing it, commonly
,nown as the coal measures, nor the
itself, nor even the scores of
actually discovered and
nore or less known, have received
he attention they should.
