MISSISSIPPI TIMBER,

What has heretofore been consid-
cred as nuisance to be gotten rid
CT in any way possible in this State.
IS rapidly becoming one of its chiei
sources of wealth.
Reference is made to the different
varieties of timber, WHICH nature
has lavisbly supplied Mississippi
with, the value Of which is begin,
ming to be realized by its owners al
most when it is too late. Immense
bodies of the very best character OF
yellow pine have passed out Of the
hands of their owners and from
rlgh. under the eyes of the people
of the South, and which have been
gobbled up by various syndicates
for mere song.
The most of these pine lands are
now known to be valuable for agri-
cultural and horticultural purposes
and will eventually prove to be
more so for farming purposes than
they are now for the timber that is
on them.
There are thousands of acres .et
the very finest qualities of hard
woods, such as hickory, the many
varieties of the oak family, ash, mag
nolia, beech, red gum, and many
others, WHICH are now considered
valuelese because of their lnaccessi
bllity, and TOR the want Of suitable
transportation facilities, but will one
day BECOME immensely valuable and
profitable to their owners.
The great and increasing numbci
Of railroads which are gridironing The
State, so to speak, will eventually
afford transportation facilities fo,
the most of these valuable woods,
and this article is written with the
view of calling the attention of the
owners Of these lands to their value
and warning them from parting
with them without something near
their value.
The time is not tar distant when
the most Of these valuable tlmbers
will be manufactured in our South.
ern railroad centers and cities into
furniture, wagons, plows and inside
furniture work. Among the timber
which has been considered worth
less, and used for fire wood only, is
tho red gum, which grows every
here in the creek bottoms Of this
section. This wood Is now becom.
ing fashionable for inside finishing
Tor houses and tor various ornimental
uses, and its durability is now settled
beyond cavil.
Owners of creek land, heavily
,imbered, will find that the tim bel
on them will be w1.th more than
the crops grown upon them after il is
destroyed, and it would be an act oi
wisdom to preserve il for future use.
1t must be remembered that this
timber is the growth of ages, and
when once destroyed it is gone for
all time'-M Meridian News.

Among about 1000 printers employed
in that city not one was attacked by

which was accounted for by medical
men from the habit of printers con-

rule, is rarely seen without pipe or
cigar in his mouth; not that he
smokes from fear of smallpox, but
because he enjoys intensely the sooth'

"TURN ABOUT Is FAIR PLAY"
The COmS:ack Mine Managers to InveS.
tigate the Stock Brokers.

Some time ago the San Francisco
Stock and Exchange Board appoint
ed a committee to investigate the
management Of the Comstock mines
The mining men, apparently delight
ed at the proposition, averred them
selves ready to throw their pines,
mills, books and accounts open to the
committee, without reserve. This
some VIVA. disconnected the brokers,
who thereupon abandoned the inves-
tigation.
Nov, however, the mine managers
propose to "play for even," and they
seriously contemplate appointing, a
committee to investigate the stock
brokerage business, as conducted
through the medium of the Boards.
with the view of better protecting
themselves, who are the heaviest
dealers in the Coms,ock shares, as
we'll as the public at large.
They complain that the charges for
dealing in stock are excessively large;
that while the cost of milling ores,
the market rates for mining supplies
of all kinds and the value Of the silver
produced by the mines have all stead
iy declined for several years past,
the commissions charged by the
brokers for buying and selling stocks
have remained at the excessively hig h

THE REvERBERAToRY SYSTEM.
1t will Probably be Tested Near Era
this Summer.

J. l.. Cederholm, who is interested
with DR.. Mckay in some mines ou,
near Era, is studying up the articles
written by Mr.. Lang Of Portland,
which urge upon the attention of
owners of lead mines the advantages
and cheapness Of smelling with rever-
beratory furnaces. Mr. Cederholm is
an experienced smelter, having for.
merly had charge of works in South.
ern California, aud he is satisfied that
this system. which is both simple and
cheap, could be successfully operated
at any mine where the quantity Of
ore in sigh: would repay the cost of
exploiting. The FIRST cost Of the
furnace being only about $4,000,
would be so small that the works
would repay the money invested in
months campaign. He is therefore
considering the matter, and will open
correspondence with Mr.. Lang on the
subject.
If one Of these furnaces can be got
into successful operation it will at leas,
double the value OF all our producing
properties, as by this process the ore
can be run through just as it comes
from the mine without sorting, sack
ing, sampling or assaying, and the
only cost for hauling will be on the
resulting bullion. BY mixing dry
with galena ores the bullion can be
so greatly enriched that even the COS,
for hauling to railway and freight
ing thence to refinery will be com
paratively insignificant.
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1888-03-09

rates of one.half of per cent. and
that the interest charges of the
brokers have been kept at the usu-
rious rate of ] J per cent. per month,
or Is per cent. per annum, with in
terest compounded monthly.
They also complain that while the
mining interest has thus been lam
gushing the cost of listing stocks at
one Of the Boards has been raised to
the exorbitant sum OF 81 600 for each
stock, with annual dues OF 800.
And, as the brokers seem h, nestly
bent upon good reforms, the commit
tee Of the mine managers will ask
them to modify these excessive
charges, which without doubt have
done much to deprcss the mining in
dustry.
REFORMS SUGGESTED.
And being bent on still greater re-.
forms, the committee of the mine
managers, as it is reported, will en-
deavor to stop such occasional practises
among INSCRIPTIONS brokers as these
l,oaning their customers stock to
short sellers; dumping the contents
of their tin boxes upon weak market,
so as to buy the stocks back at re-
duced prices and make good turn
out of the property of their clients;
turning stocks in themselves and re
porting genuine purchases aud sales
making fictitious prices to deceive
and lnjure their customers; compar-
ing order books with each other Just
before the regular sessions and thus
exposing their customers business
influencing their customers to buy
and sell for their own (,he brokers'
aggrandizemeut; failing without a
share of their customers stocks OH
hand, bnt with all their obligations
with fellow. members of the Board
fully settled, and aftcrward resuminc
! their seats in the Board.
