One of the recent writer's on
pruning observes: ''Prune when
you have a sharp knife" This is
true only in so far as it refers to the
knife, that is, cut only with a sharp
instrument. Nothing should by
any means be cut away out of sea-
son, and this should be strictly ad
hered to. Trees should only be
pruned when the vegetation is &C
tive, so that the wound may heal u
the. shortest possible time. To such
as have given the question but lit
tie attention, we may say, prune no
tree, save such as are being trans
planted, except at time when the
leaves have been formed. The
knife is the proper instrument for
the purpose, unless the branch is
too large, when fine, sharp saw is
necessary. In using the saw, to
avoid splitting down, cut or saw un-
der the branch TO be removed. Cut
as close to the collar as possible
and not injure it. Make the scar
smooth and fat, and when it is
large, cover the wound with white
lead r grating wax, to prevent the
check, and keep the air out. Cut
ting off large branches should not
be necessary TO any tree, for the
branch ought TO have been removed
before it became large, say the
same year it starts. When the
knife is used, the operator places it
Immediately under the branch
close to the collar, and draws IT
carefully upward, severing the limb
with one motion. Should there
de too much left, cut again, so as
to leave none outside the we'll de-
fined line of collar. We may be
thought by some rather particular
in this matter, but let such exam
inc trees pruned in any other man
ner, or at any other time, than above
described, and the conclusion will
at once be reached, that 700 much
care can not be taken in the mat
ter of Observation-Disclosures.

UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS.
The Period For Performing Annual
Holding Work.

Owners of unpatented mining claims
are reminded that less than three
weeks remains in which to perform
the annual holding work required by
the United States mining law.
The law requires that the sum of
500 must be expended annually by
all locators of mines in developing
the property. This development
work must consist of sinking a shaft
or incline, or running an open cut or
tunnel to develop vein, without no
location will hold good. A neglect
to comply with the provisions of the
law by performing the labor within
the limit prescribed will forfeit the
ownership of the ground and leave it
open for relocation.
The final ruling of the Land Office
in relation to the time wherein annual
labor shall be performed by locators
of mining claims reads as follows:
The period Within which the work
required to be done annually on I'M
patented minineral claims shall COM
mence on the first day of January sue
ceeding the date of location of such
claim, and this section shall apply to
all claims located since May 10, 1887.
Labor performed or money ex-
pended upon mining claim prior to
January lst succeeding the day of To-
cation thereof will not be considered
as part of or applied upon the first
annual expenditure required by law,
Thus, upon a claim located at any
time during the year 1880 the period
within which the labor must be per
formed commences January l, 1881
and during the calendar year 1881
the expenditure must be made or the
claim will be subject to relocation or
and after January l, 1882.
In order to apply the law to q
claim located prior to the year 1880
it will be necessary to calculate from
the day of location. For instance
upon a claim located in 1875 the frs
expenditure would be reckoned a
due within one year from January l
1876, to-wit: January l, 1877, ane
annually thereafter by the calenda
year.

THE COMSTOCK MARKET.
IL Is Badly Demoralized, but VIII
Doubtless Recover Soon,

Vo"tACSS AsCCUNtI SUOUs
AS anticipated by the TINES, few
days ago, the market for Comstock
shares is badly demoralized. Two
causes have contributed to this de-
moralization. The FIRST was the fail
ure of several of the oldest brokerage
hrms, for amounts aggregatipg mil
lions of dollars, owing to the dishon
esty of the brokers in neglecting to
fill the orders OF their clients, and thus
going "short" on a rapidly rising
market. The other cause was the
radical change made in the system of
buying and selling-from a 10 per
cent. margin to "spot cash" basis.
These two causes naturally led timid
or shaky holders to throw their stocks
on the market, and this in turn caused
intending investors to hold off until
matters could be readjusted upon the
new basis.
While the depreciation of values is
to be deplored, it is improbable that it
will long continue, as the Con. Cal. g.
Va. and the Savage and Hale s. Nor
cross have more ore in sight than will
be required to pay dividends, during
the next year, to an amount exceeding
the present selling price of the shares.
With two bonanzas in sight, it will be
impossible for the bear element to
keep the market down for any length
of time. The TIMES therefore looks
for notable improvement within a
few days at furthest.
The Salt Lake Tribune, which has
been, and still is, somewhat of bear
organ, does not believe that the shares
will long sell at present figures. II
says:
II The reports from the
Bonanza end of the lode are quite as
encouraging-more SO, indeed, thar
they we're when the boom was on a
week ago. The Tribune
would never advise any one to buy
stocks, but for those who have any
Comstock stocks from Savage nortl
to Union, our advice would be not tt
get panicky and sell them at a loss
for if the words of men can be de
pended upon at all, there will be divi
dends paid by Con. Cal.-Va. during
! 1887 which will In the aggregate
amount to more than the stock sole
for yesterday. IF the steady ship
ments from that mine continue a
they are promised, nothing can hole
the stock down to yesterdays figures
and the mines in the immediate neigh
borhood will be affected accordingly
1t is known, too, that there is ore il
Savage, and it is believed to be al
extensive deposit.
The Virginia Chronicle, which i
published within a stones throw @
the bonanza mines, also expresses tn
opinion that the break is only tempo
rary. 1t says:
The upraise above the 1650-leve
directly under the ore development
on the 1435. shows An improyemeDt i
the grade of ore. In fact the deve
opment is being daily demonstrate
to be far more extensive and valuabl
as explorations progress. y
Prominent local operators express n
alarm at the wavering state of tn
market, and predict that reactio
will occur in a day or two, whe
shares in the leading mines will con
mand higher prices than at any tim
subsequent to the beginning Of til

Mining is fascinating. Most men

ever saw miner that did not con-

One honest miner who had struck it
rich enough to buy into a mercan tile
house said that ten hours never were
so short as when delving in the rocky
tunnels, expecting each stroke to re-
veal the shining metal. This mad

A few evenings ago, a number of
our young people assembled to have
real jolly dance. Not being able
to secure music in town, they thought
it would he courteous to patronize the
musical talent of a neighboring vii
lage so by telephone they made ar
engagements to pay couple of pro
fessionals handsomely to discourse
enlivening strains until midnig hit.
With serene complacency they formed
for the first dance, when, alas! it was
found that the musicians were more
lively than their tunes for it became
evident that they had "braced up" for
the occasion, and were more garrulous
than musical. When the incensed
youths attempted to expostulate with
them, and come to a speedy financial
settlement, the spokesman vociferousl y
asserted that he did not pretend to be
a Paganini, but he was conceded to
be.the very best violinist in the afore-
said hamlet-and what greater recon-
mendation could be desired?

1t is surprising, when we take notice
of it, what pure automatic most per-

himself by taking train from London
in different directions, and alighting at
so many towns or villages fifty or g.
hundred miles from it, about the same
hour of the day, what would he OBJ
serve? He would observe the cocks
and hens going through the same kind
of cacklings, and crowings, and scratch

kind of snitfiings, and prowlings, and
barkings, in exactly the same way;
the children crawling and squaliing,
running. playing, and quarreling in the
same way, and making exactly the
same sort of cries and CALCULATIONS;
the men aad women lounging, saunter-
ing and gossiping, and doing or saying,
inside or outside their houses, the
same things in the same way. He
would observe the acts of animal and
