OLIVES IN PERSIA.

Som ething about the Industry Among the
Natives.
A report from Mr.. Townley, of the
British legation in Tehrran, on the cul-
tivl OF ;he olive and the manu-
fac-r", Nl.ve oil in northern Persia,
has /. ~. he'd by the foreign office.
TIL ',.e, 80 the post road between
Resi- ,chorau. where olives -four

villag... g., hicA are situated on the con-
fines ot tuc province of Gillian, and which
posses, from thirty thousand to one
hundred thousand trees, yield
ing on I'm average from six to
nine pounds of olives per tree per
annum, or roughly, a gross annual
produce ~ seven hundred and Atty
thousand pounds. The quantity of good
olive oil derived from the Persian
presses can be estimated at seventeen
per cent. Of the olives or about one
hundred and twenty-seven thousand
pounds. The good oil having been ex-
tracted, the residue is again pressed,
and an oil of an inferior quality is pro-
duccd, which is used in the manufacture
of soap. The refuse still remaining
after the olives have been twice pressed
is used as manure for the trees them
selves. The value of the oil after
good harvest is two-pence per bottle OF
two pouGd, at Rcsht or Teheran, where
as the maximum price paid after D bad
harvest is about three shillings.
The olives are gathered in the late
autumn. and at once stored in a kind of
n large bin. where they are spread out
TO dry on the housetops. When per.
fectly dried they are again packed till
they fermcnt, and after this second
fermentation they are trodden by men

grapes are troiJen in the wine press.
They are thcn boiled and crushed in a
sort OF press between fiat stones be-
meath which is II receptacle for the oil.
Naturally NY this clumsy and laborioua
methol the olives do not yield all tho
oil they contain. A monopoly for the
purcha,, and working. of all
the olives IN northern Persia
was lately granted by the shah
and in order that no time may be lost
in turning what can hardly fail 10 be q
profitable speculation To good account,
an expert has been carefully studying
the various methods employed in Eu.
rope in tho pressing and refining of olive
oil, the method in practice in the olive
oil presses Of MarSeilleS having finally
been selecte, ~ him. Rudbar, the GEN.
ter of the production, is situated on the
Safeed Rau, which from that point is
navigablc down to it's exit into the Cas-
plan sea during the greater part of the
year, for stror rly-built barges or RATS
and for hat-bottomed boats. Every
olive tree is subjected TO a government
tax of about one and ons-quArter pence.

There is a curious plant, said to be a
native of Palestine, but which Il found
in some parts of England. called the
Calvary clover, from certain peculiari-
ties of its growth. The seed must be
sown in the spring, superstitious people
say on Good Friday, if one expects the
plant to thrive. The leaves, which re-
semhle the common trefoil, or three
leaved clover, show a deep red spot,
like freshly-spilt blood, as soon as they
appear above ground. This remains
for some weeks, then gradually dies

WE DID IT.-Bill Burbanks, the mule.

is trying to make a great mystery of
the fact that he got dose of bird shot
in this town the other evening. He saws
that someone certainly attempted to as
sassinate him as he was riding along
Cheyenne street at midnight, and he
thinks of offering reward of two hum

William is simply playing the public,
but he can't play u.s. We had just
stretched out on cur cot Thursday night.
and the hour was about twelve, when
Bill came along on his old dromedarv.
We heard him cursing while he was vet
a long ways off. When he reached the

handful of fine shot kept ON

CALL HIM OFF.-If the so-called Mai.
Skinner, who has loafed around this
town for the last six months, has any
friends who have his welfare at heart,
they will call him off the perch. 1t
seems the major has been laying his
pipes for office, and that our article Of
two weeks ago. asking him where he
stole his last COW, has somewhat cloud
ed his prospects. He now threatens to
shoot us on sight, and was seen at the
post Office yesterday with a big revolver
belonging to Luke Higgins.
We regret these little annoyances,
but if they must he met we are not the
man to shrink from the task. To-mor-
row afternoon, after our first form goes
to press and we work off two hundred
auction bills, we shall strap on our gun
and take walk. If Maj. Skinner has
departed for Tucson, he may live to be
hundred years old; if he hasn't, he
will make No. 10 in our private grave
yard. This is official, and comes right
from headquarters.

No BoOM.-We understand that sew
eral real-estate firms in this town have
combined to get up a boom and make
things jump. In fact, they offered us a
half-page Hd. for this week, but we
didn't take it. AS an individual we
might cheat a man from Omaha at
poker, but as an editor we can't be hired
to help swindle our subscribers. In
order to offset the Vaccinations of this
syndicate we wish to say:
We have got the fag-end of one rail-
road here and neither want nor will ever
be able to get anything more.
Society is not cultivated Such a
thing as a toothbrush or a volume of
poems found on a man here would hang
him
The land around the town is so Door
that it takes nine feet of it over a dead
mule to hold the carcass down.
1t is not a trade-center. We have the
Digger Indian on three sides of us, and
large family of coyotes on the fourth.
The climate wobbles all over creation,
making the demand for buffalo-slxin
overcoats and linen busters about equal
and mighty steady.
1t is not sanitarium for invalids. If
the climate didn't kill 'em, our doctors
| would.
This is about all, but enough to put
our subscribers on their guard and to
clear our conscience if our advice is
not taken. Now, gentlemen of the
combination, go ahead with your boom

Pooh OLD MAN!-The wheezy, broken
backed press owned by our esteemed
contemporary fell to pieces the other
day as he was getting ready to work his
outside form, and as soon as we heard
OF the accident we rendered him the use
of ours. He gratefully accepted,
but, alas! no act of kindness
or generosity can change the
leopard's spots. His circulation, while
given as $3.50, is in reality only 2sQ
He hadn't the manhood about him
to bring along his two hundred and
eighty sheets of white paper and depend
on our honor, but he hires a cart and
drives up with two whole bundles, and
then pretends he has run short! Two
men were kept hard at work all day,
and hundreds of sheets of paper were
recklessly wasted, that the old hypo-
critic and falsifier might fiatter himself
that we were deceived. We don't like
such men. We can't believe they are
an ornament to q growing Western
town.
