Patent Your Mines.

1t Is now the season Of the year
when assessment work must be done
on all unpatented mines. Referring
to this subject the Tuscarora Times
most pertinently remarks: 1t would
be difficult to estimate the time and
money expended ON mining claims
doing assessment work, which is
practically lost. Each year SO much
money must be spent on The claim,
and the work is generally done on the
most available place and with no par
ticular reference to the systematic
development of the property. 1t Is
usually done at a disadvantage and
is often an absolute injury to the
ground, cutting it up to the detriment
of any systematic working that may
be afterwards attempted. After a To-
cation has been developed enough to
entitle it TO a United States patent, the
money spent in doing assessment
work. is usually worse than wasted.
as it seldom adds anything TO the mar
ket value of the claim, and often less
ems 1t. The same money would OBJ
tain a United States title to the claim.
which could not be jumped, and after
application for patent Is started further
assessment work is not required. Ifa
claim is worth owning at all, it Is
worth being patented. 1t isa mistake
to wait until q ''big strike" Is made
before applying for a government title.
Contests are then sure to arise, and
the larger the .'strike" The greater
will be the trouble and expense Of OBJ
tanning the patent, and many sales
have fallen through while waiting for
the business TO be pushed through
the Land office. II your claim Is
worth owning get it patented; IL not
give 1t up and don't waste your money
doing useless assessment work.
There are many claims in this vicinity
whose have expended three
timesthe amount OF money upon them
than would have obtained an indis-
putable title for all time. They should
at once make applications for patents
and cease this useless expense.

StalWart VS.. Half-Breed.

The New York Iribane IL O BLAINE or.
gan, and the Washington Republican q
Stalwart or C0NKLING-ARrHUR organ.
There Is no love lost between them. The
Tribune raps the StaIwarts over the
knuckles as "rcpudiationists" whenever
II refers to them as the allies Of General
MALONE. The Republican, for its part, can
return the compliment Of hard words and
with interest. 1t denounces BLAINE as
the ally Of the Virginia Bourbons.
This quarrel between the Republican
and the Tribune shows that the Republican
knows how unpopular its party Is in yir.
ginia, and hopes TO offset MAHoNE's sin Of
forming an alliance with the Republicans
by charging the same sort Of sin upon the
Democrats. Again: 1t shows that the
Republican expects to damage Mr..
BLAINE in the northern States by ac.
cusing him OF an alliance with the
Democrats OF Virginia. OF course
1T is all bosh. Mr.. BLAINE is a Republican
dyed in the wool. He has no allies in yjr-
ginia except q few Republicans Of the same
stripe with himself who can see no good
sn1'F In the Democratic party or in the
ANt.uR-MAHoSE coalition. But 1t is a

Mr.. Frank Poindexter left last night for
Louisville, Ky., where he will make his
future home. He Is universally esteemed
here, and his removal Is regretted.
The recent action OF the Board OF Visi-
tors OF the University with reference to the
proposed encampment OF Virginia troops
here this summer somewhat simplifies and
payes the way 10 the formation OF some
definite plan for carrying out the ideas ex-
pressed In public meeting some weeks ago.
A good deal OF interest is being felt all
over the State in the matter, and the propo-
sition to make the event national affair
may, and doubtless will, meet with general
favor.
The appointments made by the Board
are received with Indifference. Neither OF
the appointces are prominent in politics.
Mr.. Maupin, the bursar, is OF this county,
has good family connections, and is very
worthy man. Mr.. Garrison, the Super
intendent OF Grounds, is better known in
Norfolk and in Richmond, perhaps, where
he was connected in some way with the
Auditors Office.

EDENToS, n. c., March 81, 1873.
Edenton is probably the oldest town in
North Carolina. II was named In honor
OF Charles Eden, Governor appointed BY
the Lords Proprietors under the old feu-
dial sway. The General Court sat here for
a number OF years. In earlier days il was
a prosperous place, and the seat OF inteii-
gence and wealth. Commerce has not
much respect for traditions or civil aris-
tocracy, and for fifty years Edenton, not
being on or near great thoroughfare, has
been at stand-still. The Elizabeth City
and Norfolk road being completed to this
point, and connections by rail and steam
boat being probable, we may hope to see
the old town put on new garments.
This has long been the centre OF extern
sive fisheries. Some OF your readers may
remember Porte Crayon's illustrated arti-
Gle several years ago in Harper, in which
was very interesting description Of the
immense seines used In the Albemarle
sound, and the occasional extraordinary
'hauls" made. The season this year Is
backward, and as yet the yield has not
been very remunerative. William Wood,
one OF the proprletors OF a fishery which
has been "run" for fifty years, told me he
had caught at one haul as many as 800, 200.
Shad and herring are caught now princi-
paily, but drag-net nearly two miles i'm
length must take In its folds great variety
OF the jewellers in the sea. When large
sturgeon Is taken there Is real sport. The
shad and herring are packed In ice and
sent to the northern cities. Later, some are
sailed away. The offal and refuse fish are
carted to the field as fertilizers. Steam is
used IN putting out and drawing In the
seines. The annual value of the Albcmarle.

time l have been preaching for the Chris
tian churches In King and Queen and Es-
sex counties. / have made the acquaint-
ance OF Baptists, Methodists, Episcopa-
lians, and many who are not members OF
any church. BY all these people no greater
respect or higher regard could have been
shown to mc II had been native OF this
section.
The people are kind and hospitable.
They turn a cold shoulder to no one, but
give warm greeting and hearty welcome
to all persons Of honor wherever they may
come from. II Is true that they will not
treat tramp or any scalawag with much
respect. This Is right. Such persons are
entitled to no respect. But men OF honor
from any section OF our country will find
no warmer hearts than those that beat in
the virginian's breast.
Yours, truly, w. ii. APPLICABLE.
