WHERE GOLD HAS NO CHARM.
aneer Deposits" Made at she
United states Assay once.

The United states assay ofhce on
Wall street, next TO the sub-treasury
building, is one Of the most interest.
ing places TO visit in this city, says the
New York Herald. Here are brought
every day gold and silver bullion from
all parts Of the world TO be refined
and run into bars.
Gold and silver coins from all coun-
ties, watch cases, iewelry and silver
ware Of all kinds, every form, in fact,
Of the precious metals, are brought
here daily for reduction.
The Gentleman in charge OF the
assay department. took me through the
place Yesterday. noticed a vault
containing a number of rows OF gold
bricks. "How much is there ?"
asked. "Some $S5, ,000, 900, l believe"
he replied.
"The business done here every day
varies. Sometimes as much as $3,000,-
600 in bullion come in to be melted
down in one day.
the workmen in this place as 30 much

see workman boiling his coffee on a
red-hot bar OF gold worth 10000, or
frying a steak on hot silver brick.
saw the other day one tub Of gold.
II looked like so much dirt, and water
was being run through il to get out
the acid A handful Of il would have
been worth 800. This, though, was
Of no particular consequence, was in
formed. There was but $3.50, 900 in it,
all told.
A while ago the pawnbrokers used
to bring their pledges here TO be
melted down. Gold chains, bracelets,
old silver candlesticks and all manner
Of oddities found their way here from
the pawn shops. A stop had TO be
put TO this, as it often happened that
a bushel Of jewelry yielded but a little
more than a few ounces OF gold, and
all this base metal caused great deal
Of trouble.
One day last week $685. 900 in En-
glish sovereigns were melted into bars,
and nearly every day the brokers
bring in assorted coins Of all countries |
% 20 into the melting pot.
Deposits that are made at the assay |
office in gold are payable either in
gold bullion or coin, at the option OF
the depositor. No amount is accepted
Of less than 800 value. With silver,
however, the returns are always made |
in bullion, and this must be disposed
OF outside, being generally done
through brokers.
The gold used in the assay depart
ment for testing is absolutely pure,
being 1000 fine, and is usually run
into long, thin strips that look like 30
much tape OF ribbon. People often
ask me-" said a gentleman in this de-
partment, chow much gold there is in
a $40 gold piece. There is exactly $40
in s20 gold piece, the alloy used be-
ing in excess Of this valuation"

fng.
"Why is it that amber is so ex-
pensive ?" asked a reporter Of Mas
sau street pipemaker recently.
" Because it is not very plentiful,
and then the trouble Of collecting 1t is
very great. The only place where ii
it is found to any great extent is in
the Baltic Sea. There the vein runs
from Russia to Denmark, Norway and
Sweden. In the olden times it used
to be picked up on the shores of the
Baltic, where II was washed after a
heavy storm. A number OF persons
used to make their livelihood by col
lecting the amber, and they do now
for all | know. The demand for it
during the past few years has grown 80
much that engineering appliances are
used TO collect it. Dredging boats are
sent out in the fine weather. These
boats have long strings of iron pals
that are constantly dragging the bot
tom Of the sea and turning their con-
tents on to the decks of the boats
There the amber is quickly picked out
and the rest thrown overheard. An
other method Of collecting amber is
by the diver. The divers go down
with the regular divers costume. and
by means Of the air-pump are enabled
to remain under the water for four or
five hours. All the amber these men
collect they place in a bag, and on
coming to land they are rewarded ac-
cording to their find. This vein oil
amber has been found to run under
the land as well as under the sea. and
a mine has now been sunk to a depth
OF $50 feet below the sea level and il
worked just like coal mine. IN. Y

From Davis in the Silver Belt

CIom Davis In the Silver Belt)
 Florence is about to awaken from its present dull and dreamy state to shine forth as one of the garden spots of this Territory. The Gila valley has long been conceded as having the most pro ductive land in the Territory, and all that was needed was water, which will now be supplied by the Florence Canal Company. This company was reorgan- ized i'll December last, and on the first of the present month they Gquidated all indebtedness incurred by the old com pany. Mir. w. N. Crandall, of San Ber- nardino,- the secretary and treasurer, will come to Florence about the 10th inst. to take entire management of the company's affairs, and under his personal supervision the canal will be built to Casa Grande. The company does not intend to let any contracts, but has al ready sent east for new ditcher, and upon it's arrival, work will be resumed on the canal It is now built for dls- tance of l6 miles from Headgate, near the buttes on the Gila river to a point 4 miles beyond Florence. The cost of constructing this distance was S85, ,00O. Considers able of this work was in cutting through solid rock, but the work of con struction from now on will be compar- atively easy. Much new land under the canal has already been cleared, and many people are putting in their crops, as the company is now ready tC supply water on any land to wit hin one-half mile of its present terminus. The company has certainly given very liberal rates f,r water rights-S5 an acre, payable g n cash and balance on yearly installmel t plan, with free use of water for the first year, and after that a water rate never to exceed $2 per acre per annum, with a possibility of being much less.
 The lands of the Gila valley are well adapted to the growth of olives, as many fine olive trees are to be seen now in Florence, and with this new enterprise Florence bids fair to be prosperous and booming town, equal to any in Southern California.

The Round Valley Feud. 1

If the reports that come from Round Valley, ten miles east of this place, be true, some highly sensational develop ments may be expected from that quar- ter. Every resident of the county is more or less familiar with the troubles existing between Nicholas White and James Brash, growing out of conflicting claims to land and the irrigating ditch built by Mir. Brash, and the recent ac- quittal of the latter by the jury upon a serious charge of assault upon Mir. White, and therefore 1t is not necessary to re- cite them here. Several civil suits are also pending relative to the ownership of the water and land and bitter, irrecon- cilable feud exists between tho two men.
 Quite ntly-only last week-NIr. Brash found number of Mr. Whites cattle grazing in his fields about h1s hot use and he put them into his corral as he had frequently done before. It has been his custom lately to take receipts tor the cattle thus found trespasslng upon his lands, as basis for damages ill tue future should be choose to demand them. Charley White, the grown son of Mir. White, demanded the cattle of MT. Brash and was informed that if Mir. White would come over and receipt for them be could take them. Shortly after wards Mir. White and his son presented themselves and demanded the cattle, Mir. White refusing to sign receipt Mir. Brash forbade them to open or en- ter his corral, but they not only forced it open but applied the most opprobrious epithets to him, for the purpose, Il c thinks, of provoking some hostile demonstration Being alone, with no witness to the affair, Mir. Brash discretely kept his temper and |, having exhausted their vocabulary of ex- pletives, the Whites departed with their stock.
 Mir. Brash asserts that they are not only building fenco across his homestead. but that they have permitted their dogs to attack and kill his swine, quite num- Der of which have been lost by this means, among them one very valuable boar that was imported at considerable expense from California last summer He says these and like annoyances are premeditated and are done to discourage him and to drive him away from his home where he has spent large sums of money in improvements and years of hard toll.
 This, in substance, is MT. Brash's state ment, modified sufficiently to put in print, and, while it represents but one side of the story, it gives evidence that sen sational sequel is but question of short time. The ENTERPRISE has no interest ill the controversy other than 8 desire to see the right vindicated, and it gives expression to the occurrences solely as matter of legitimate news.

Awaits that countless army of martyrs, whose ranks are constantly recruited from the victims of nervousness and nervous diseases. The price of the boon is systematic course of Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs, the finest and most genial of tonic nervines, pursued with reasonable persistence. Easier, pleasan- ter and safer this than to swash the vic tualling epartment with pseudo-tonics, alcoholic or the reverse, beef extracts, nerve foods, narcotics, sedatives and poisons in disguise. ''Tired Natures sweet restorer, balmy sleep" is the pro- vidential recuperant of weak nerves, and this glorious franchise being usually the consequences of sound digestion and in- creased vigor, the great stomachic which insures both is productive also of repose at the required time.
